Beverly staggered back. The heels of her stilettos caught on the weeds, causing her to tip backward.The pain she expected never came. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace. Her eyes met Evan's panicked gaze. It was a look she'd never seen on his face before.Weary beyond measure, Beverly felt her reason slip away. Her poor night vision made the figure before her blend into the darkness. His chiseled features softened into a blur, his dark eyes reduced to black and white.The man of calm maturity seemed to be shrouded in a haze, and before her stood the radiant youth he'd once been. She felt as though she were seeing the Evan from a decade ago—unburdened by restraint, all bright confidence and boldness.That was the man who'd loved her enough to take her to his parents, Reynard Gray and Heather, and sworn he wouldn't marry anyone except her. And he'd done just that.Back then, her heart had brimmed with happiness.Chaotic footsteps rushed in. Heather threw her arms around Beverly

"Yes, sir!"The bodyguards fanned out, swarming toward Beverly's last-seen location.Beverly hadn't managed to get far when a strong gust of wind roared above her. A helicopter descended from the sky, its spotlight pinning her in place.One of the bodyguards shouted, "There she is!"A figure dropped from the helicopter, and strong arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her close. Together, they were lifted into the sky.A scream escaped her lips, but no sound came out. Still sick with a fever, she felt as if her throat had been scraped raw by sandpaper, the pain growing more intense.The helicopter slowly approached Evan's position.Beverly struggled instinctively, overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness. Her eyes met Evan's, which were filled with relief and love. He opened his arms toward her, his expression tender and overcome with emotion. But in her eyes, he was a nightmare come to life, and terror instantly consumed her.No!She continued screaming in her head, every p

Beverly snapped back to her senses and used every bit of her strength to push against Damien's chest.Damien released her immediately, panic flashing in his eyes. "Did I hurt you?"He anxiously helped her up, holding her hand and checking her all over, and even forcing her to spin around twice.Beverly pressed down on Damien's hand and sighed helplessly. She couldn't help but wonder if he'd never had a girlfriend before and that was why he was so clueless when it came to reading a woman's expression."If it were him…" she thought to herself as Evan's face popped into her mind.But she quickly shook her head, trying to clear it.Just then, the door was pushed open, and Bianca rushed in, anger flashing in her eyes. "Professor! Evan and his men are at the research institute. He's demanding that you hand Beverly over, or… or he'll burn everything in the place to the ground!""How's he not afraid of anything? Professor Reed's research contains secrets that can benefit both our coun

Beverly had collapsed at the edge of the cliff when someone spotted her. They promptly shouted into the abyss, "Mr. Gray! We've found Mrs. Gray! She's not at the bottom of the ravine!"But the rope continued to unspool. Everyone started to panic.Beverly lunged forward, grabbing the rope with both hands. The rapidly slipping rope sliced her palm open, leaving a bloody gash. Her throat felt like it was being ripped apart as she screamed into the ravine, "Evan! I'm not down there! Come back up!"Her voice echoed through the abyss, and everyone standing on the cliff heard her loud and clear. But the rope continued slipping through her hands, scraping her palms.The bodyguards rushed to seize the rope as well, but it didn't stop. Instead, it fell even faster."Mr. Gray should be able to control the rope…" one of the bodyguards said in a pained voice as he helped Beverly up. "I'm afraid he might already be…"Beverly broke down, sobbing uncontrollably. She grabbed onto the bodyguards

Evan's grip tightened around Cindy's neck, making her turn red as a chill ran down her spine. She'd promised that she wouldn't mess with Beverly again, and yet here she was, speaking ill of her behind her back.But this was a rare opportunity, and there was no way Cindy could let it slip by.She wrapped her arms around Evan's neck. Her eyes sparkled seductively as she said in a syrupy voice, "Professor Reed's research institute is full of experts. Horatio, who was there that night, is a genius with computers. Who's to say he didn't tamper with the footage?"Just then, Evan's phone started ringing. It was a call from Gray Corporation's IT department."Mr. Gray, I'm sorry it took us three days to recover the hotel's surveillance footage. An expert had spliced the videos together, and it was nearly undetectable. We had to bring in a hacker friend to uncover the inconsistency. I'm sending it over now."Cindy felt as if she'd found a lifeline when she heard what the person said on th
