Nathalia’s POV“Just let me see her! You dumbass!”“She’s still resting! So, will you just shut your fucking mouth? You might wake her up!”“I don’t care! Besides, you still have a lot of explaining to do! What the hell happened? You promised us that you wouldn’t endanger her!”I woke up due to the loud shouting I heard from somewhere. I was about to ignore it when I suddenly realized that the two voices arguing were familiar to me.“Things happened. You know that no matter how careful I am, they’re always lurking around, waiting for the right moment to attack.”“I know, and I warned you before about that. But you didn’t listen. That’s why I’ll take her back!”“No! I won’t let you!”Because I was so annoyed by the noise, I finally opened my eyes. I blinked a few times to clear my vision. Slowly, the surroundings became clear and familiar.I sat up slowly, holding my head. I tried to recall what happened and how I ended up in our room.From what I remember, I went to the mall with Cole

Third Person’s POVTHE WIND was cold. The surroundings were quiet and dark, and only the rustling of leaves could be heard.Not far away, there was a group of people who had been observing an old building for some time.“Stephen, aren’t we going to attack yet? My fists are itching to punch someone,” Ashter muttered beside him, his face scowling as he gazed at the abandoned building just a few meters away from their hiding spot.Stephen remained silent, knowing that his friend already knew the answer to his own question. He was just getting impatient.He sighed and quietly observed his scattered team and friends, as well as a few of their men, while leaning on the hood of his car. Cole was not with them at the moment; he left him and the others at the mansion to guard his wife.The security of the mansion was undoubtedly high. From the iron gate that could not easily be broken down to the CCTV cameras scattered around, monitored 24/7 by some of his men in the control room, everything w

Stephen’s POV“I told you already. We won’t gain anything from this. Do you think he would just hand over that thing to anyone?”I was taken aback by Liam’s words. I turned to look at his scowling face.“But I can’t afford to be wrong. I personally saw the old Romero holding that thing when I was tailing him the other day. Besides, he used that thing to manipulate other members of the organization to follow his plans.”He scratched his head. “Maybe he did have it at the time you saw him. But I’m pretty sure it’s no longer with him after we stormed in here earlier. The man probably made different leaders to hold that thing, so it wouldn’t directly lead back to him.”I let out a deep sigh. I had also considered that possibility. However, I couldn’t help but hold on to hope. Besides, I had another reason for coming here.“Did you find any information or anything that could lead us to his whereabouts in this headquarters?” I asked.He scratched his head before sighing. “Nothing. Even in t

I glanced at him, unable to hide my frown because of his last statement.“Don’t worry. I have no intention of escaping. Just make sure my family and friends are safe. We have nothing to argue about anymore.”His smile slowly disappeared, and surprise replaced it. It seemed like he didn’t expect me to say that.I smiled at him before turning back to look at the vast ocean. Due to everything that happened in the past few days and the information he shared with me, which still isn’t clear until now, I couldn’t leave his control.I still need to know everything he’s hiding and everything he knows about me.***“How many days will we stay here?” I asked Stephen as we entered our room.I couldn’t help but be amazed by its entirety. Aside from the spacious bed in the middle, it also had a mini-living room on the right side. There was a long chocolate and white sofa placed there, and in front of it was a long center table. The wall facing this area had a flat-screen TV attached to it. On the

Nathalia’s POVI stayed in the resort’s infirmary for a few hours before the nurse finally allowed me to leave. I couldn’t help but feel regretful, as it was already dark outside when I got out. Because of what happened, I wasn’t able to make the most of my stay here, and we’re heading back home tomorrow.We’re currently having dinner in one of the huts here, which is close to the beach. Chicken with creamed corn, Tortellini, Slow cooker shrimp boil, Creamy pesto chicken, and vegetable salad are served on our long table. There are also a few bottles of red wine on the side.“Hey, take it easy on the food. Don’t let them see that you’re starving,” Harold teased Albert, who was eating enthusiastically.“Exactly. It’s like you haven’t eaten for days, huh? Even though you practically finished all of our snacks earlier,” Damon teased further.Albert was about to retort when he suddenly choked. Damon quickly handed him water. Just as Mads was about to pat his back, Damon slapped her hand aw
