LOGINBeverly sensed a chill radiating from James. He drew her firmly into his embrace, his strong arms locking around her.Her hands, braced on his chest, were overcome by his force. They fell weakly to his shoulder and became squeezed between their bodies, causing a dull ache to shoot through her.She winced in discomfort, a muffled whimper escaping her lips. "Honey, it hurts. Honey…"Knowing James was angry, she didn't push him away. Instead, she kept pleading through gasps.Heat swirled in the air, thick and intimate, making her skin flush. After releasing her, James gently drew her hands down and pulled her into his arms again. Her face came to rest on his shoulder. His scorching breath was hot in her ear as he kissed and nipped at her neck nonstop.Tears spilled from the corners of Beverly's eyes. Her body trembled with suppressed sobs, as she didn't dare cry aloud. Her voice, thick with tears, struck straight at James' heart."I'm crying because I've missed you so much."He
"James, are you even listening to me?" William reached over and pulled the document out of James' hands. "You've been staring at this for half an hour—what problem could possibly stump you?"Just as William noticed the blank page and frowned in confusion, he saw James lift his gaze. He followed James' line of sight to the doorway and saw Beverly standing there."Well, well, well… So you're still up this late because…"He was waiting for Beverly.William hadn't expected that James—a man who could remain utterly unfazed even if the world collapsed before him—could be so deeply affected by Beverly's every move.So, even the strongest guy went weak around a pretty woman.William furrowed his brows. But shouldn't Beverly at least have some conscience?"Hey, do you even take James seriously as your husband? It's a big deal to take Harry and Esther to see Evan, but you didn't even give James a heads-up first!"William's reprimand left Beverly looking visibly shaken."Get out," James
Beverly began to explain, "I was being held captive—""You practically walked right into it yourself," William said, fastening Esther's seatbelt. "James really has it rough for being married to a woman who's always running off."Beverly couldn't tell William that her real goal tonight was to get her hands on Elaine's diary."I don't always run off. Just tell me—does James know or not?""If he knew, wouldn't he have chased after you himself?" William lied without batting an eye."Then why are you here?""It's only natural for me to follow the kids since James hired me to protect them.""You've been following us this whole time? How come I never noticed?"William rolled his eyes hard. "If you'd noticed, I might as well quit being a special forces soldier and go farm potatoes in my hometown instead."Beverly hadn't even realized James had people openly following her. In fact, the Lincoln limousine was already pulling up behind them.She really had broken James' heart."I'm just
Evan stepped forward and seized Beverly's wrist. "I'm not letting you go! Take off now!""Mr. Gray, the police cars are getting closer!" the pilot exclaimed. "They're too close. It's too risky to take off now!""I believe in you. Now, take off!"Beverly was stunned when she locked eyes with Evan's cold, piercing gaze. "You'd risk the helicopter crashing and all of us dying just to take me away? And yet you claim you love me? You're nothing but a selfish jerk! Let me go!"Just then, the helicopter door was suddenly yanked open, and a dark figure lunged inside. He grabbed Evan by the collar and hurled him out of the helicopter with a swift shoulder throw.Beverly stared in shock as William pummeled Evan mercilessly. After taking two hard hits, Evan began fighting back, and the two men became locked in a fierce brawl."Why aren't you stopping the helicopter? Do you want all of us to die?" Beverly shouted furiously at the pilot and the bodyguards.None of them dared to defy her.Th
Beverly grabbed Evan by the collar of his suit and shouted hysterically, her eyes reddening, "You lied to me—again! Evan, you're beyond redemption. Let go of me!"Evan hoisted Beverly over his shoulder and headed straight toward the helicopter, ignoring her cries and struggles."Honey, I didn't lie to you. I really do have Elaine's diary. On top of that, my mother's the one who took Elaine in when she escaped from Ravenwell back then."Beverly pressed her hand against Evan's shoulder, right where his gunshot wound was. "I don't believe you, nor will I ever believe you again!"She dug her fingers into the wound, making Evan grimace in pain. Yet, he still refused to release her.Esther and Harold's cries were carried away by the wind.Evan carried Beverly onto the helicopter, but she kicked him away the next second."Honey, stop making a scene," Evan said.He grabbed Beverly's foot, his expression resigned. "My wound had finally healed, but it's been ripped open again. If you wre
It was James.Beverly answered the call via Bluetooth. Without stopping, her Porsche sped right out of Rosewood Manor. She was desperate to know what had happened between Elaine, the Dawsons, and the Hendersons back then."Where are you?" James asked.The Lincoln limousine was parked just outside of Rosewood Manor, and he'd seen the Porsche speed onto the road with his own eyes.While he was in the hospital, was Beverly taking Harold and Esther to meet Evan? Was she planning to run off with Evan?Beverly chuckled. "I'm just out for a drive with Esther and Harry."Eventually, she would have to face everything alone, and she didn't want to rely on anyone anymore.Evan had always been nothing but trouble for her, and she needed to handle it herself."Have you had dinner yet?" she asked, worried about James' health."Nope."Beverly glanced at the time displayed on the screen. "It's already six o'clock. I know you're busy, but you shouldn't skip meals.""Are you worried about me?
