Bang…Johnson closed his eyes and ears, shuddering. After that, he could only hear gunshots and didn’t dare open his eyes to check if Jack was okay.Gunshots finally stopped. Only the people’s cries echoed. The police siren was buzzing."Johnson..." Jack’s voice compelled him to open his eyes. He saw his brother crawling towards him. He grinned, relieved. "You are alive." He hugged him."Yes, I am." Jack hugged him back. "Angus saved me."They both looked at the dead bodies littered around."Jack, Johnson…" Natasha and Sean rushed in.Natasha pulled her sons into her embrace. "Are you okay?""Yes, mommy," Jack replied."Hurry up. We have to get out of here." Sean lifted Johnson in his arms and held Jack’s hand as he walked out. He suspected that more goons were hiding nearby and would attack them again. It was better to leave.Angus escorted them to the car and drove away.The kids were so tired from the ordeal that they fell asleep soon after they got home. Natasha watched them sleep

It had been two days since the amusement park incident. Natasha became strangely quiet. She stayed with Jack and Johnson when she returned from the shoot. She avoided Sean completely as if she was upset with him.Sean tried several times to strike up a conversation, but Natasha ignored him. He reasoned that she was still shocked and considered taking them on vacation and celebrating the boys' birthdays.The next day, they arrived on an island where Sean had a villa close to the seashore. The sound of waves could be heard from here. The water was deep blue and crystal clear. Watching the sea was always soothing, despite its restless waves. The palm trees that lined the perimeter added to the majestic view.Natasha stood on the porch, which was outlooking the sea, and watched the tireless waves as restless as her mind. The sound of the gunshots was still resounding in her ears. It brought back the terrifying memories of her past that she had buried within herself.She had lost her biolo

Victor, Easton’s cousin, paid a visit to him. His sole motive was to take him home according to his grandfather’s instructions. However, he was surprised to find Easton depressed."I have never seen you drink during the daytime," he said as he took a seat on the sofa next to him.Easton chuckled and poured him a glass of whiskey."Thank you." Victor raised his glass. "What is bothering you?" He glanced at him curiously, taking a swig."It is something that no one can help me with," Easton replied, his face solemn."I can do anything for you, and you know it."Easton smiled, which looked ugly on his face. "I love someone. Sadly, she is in love with someone else. And... she is happy with him." His eyes turned watery. "I am happy for her. But this pain…" He rubbed his chest. "It is not going away. It is killing me. I am trying to forget her…" He inhaled and sighed deeply. "I can’t stop thinking about her. Alcohol helps me to numb my brain, and I am able to forget her for a while."He dra

Sean considered throwing his twins a birthday party after being released from the hospital to cheer them up. However, the unexpected news of his grandmother's illness forced him to return home.He arrived at the mansion and went straight to Helena’s room. He found her sleeping with a nurse changing the IV drip."How is she?" he asked in a low voice, approaching the nurse."She is stable now," the nurse replied. "But still weak. She needs proper rest and care.""Hmm…" Sean nodded. "What happened to her? She was okay a few days ago.""Stomach upset. It is normal at this age. She will be fine.""Mm…" Helena groaned and woke up after hearing their murmurs. "Sean, you are here." She stretched her hand towards him."Grandma…" Sean hurried to him and took her hand, sitting down beside her. "I am here.""Mm…" She whimpered as she tried to get up."No…" Sean held her shoulders and stopped her from moving. "You need rest. Don’t move, and don’t talk.""I am not going to die until I see you marry

Natasha resumed shooting since Easton assured her he would take care of her. She was delighted Sean had not opposed it. They agreed to change the storyline so that Natasha's character would be replaced with a new character. The team had already begun looking for a new female lead.She was resting in the green room during her break. She received a few messages and frowned at the ‘private number’. Curious, she checked the message. Her face turned ashen in seconds, and the phone slipped from her grasp. Her hands were shaking. Tears seeped through her cheeks."No…" She slumped to the ground, the world around her spinning. She bit her fingertips as she tried to contemplate what to do. At this moment of tension, her brain shut down. She could see no way out.Ding-Dang-Ding-Dang…The phone started ringing. The private number blinked on the screen.Natasha trembled even more. Her muscles were numb, while her heart was pounding.With her shaky hand, she picked up the phone and answered it."Co
