James held Beverly, a subtle restlessness stirring within him. With restraint, he kissed her on the cheek. There would be plenty of time ahead, so he was in no hurry.Holding her, he patted her gently on the small of her back to lull her to sleep. Still, he couldn't resist teasing her lightly."You're so beautiful."A faint smile appeared on his face when he saw her cheeks flush crimson.…Carly returned to Sheldon's place to find him drowning his sorrows in alcohol. She began packing her belongings.Sheldon grabbed her wrist and hurled her luggage to the ground."You're not leaving. You're no longer of any use to Marvin. If you don't stay with me, are you going to go back to your family, only to be sold off by Marvin again?" he asked with a sneer as he tightened his grip on her wrist.At those words, Carly's eyes instantly reddened.Sheldon's heart softened as he gently stroked her cheek. "Stay. I can protect you.""You shouldn't have targeted James," Carly retorted, her gaz

Beverly wanted to answer James, but he pressed his lips to hers as soon as she opened her mouth. He kissed her deeply, brimming with emotion.The air around them became charged with tension.After breaking the kiss, he held her hand and said, "I'll come get you when it's time for the ceremony. I've arranged for some food to be brought to you. Don't go hungry.""Where's Esther?""Maya's put her to sleep for now. We'll wake her up for the ceremony."He'd arranged everything meticulously down to the smallest detail.As James turned to leave, Beverly grabbed his hand. He wrapped his fingers around hers and turned back to her with the gentlest look in his eyes."Thank you…" Beverly said as she looked up at his handsome face, warmth spreading through her chest and coloring her cheeks. "Husband."She held his hand tightly, as if mustering all her courage.In the next moment, James' hands slipped under her arms, lifting her up. He wrapped one arm around her waist and gently tilted her

Beverly looked over. Blood was seeping from Evan's chest, soaking his white shirt. He lay on the floor, looking straight at her. He'd taken the bullet that had been flying toward her.Her mind went blank, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She stumbled toward Evan like a lifeless shell and found him struggling to breathe. His gaze was full of deep affection as he called out to her, "Bev…""Get him to the hospital, now!"James' voice rang in Beverly's ear. He darted around her, crouched beside Evan, and pressed both hands against the gushing wound on his chest.Beverly collapsed next to James. Her head rested against his lower back as she trembled in fear.James administered basic first aid, and seconds later, plainclothes special forces operators rushed over and carried Evan away.James helped Beverly to her feet and pulled her into his arms. "The bullet didn't hit his heart or any vital organs. Don't worry."Christina was beside herself with worry for Evan. Wasn't the hi

Harold turned around and saw Heather rushing toward him. He noticed how tensed and panicked she was, looking as if she were worried he was about to do something reckless. Only then did he hurry away.Once Harold was gone, Beverly came back to her senses. "I can walk on my own."But James didn't set her down. "You're tired."His hands rested at her back and under her knees, holding her tightly and pressing her against him.She wanted to say that she wasn't tired and that he shouldn't carry her like this because there was nothing between them anymore. She had so many things she wanted to say, but when she met his gaze, none of the words came out. His gaze was heavy, like a boulder pressing on her chest. He was like the moon hanging high in the sky, its glow illuminating her heart over and over again, filling her with light and hope.She buried her face in his chest, unable to look at him any longer.James carried her into the car. As soon as they got in, she immediately pulled aw

"Chief, once you've chosen someone, I can take care of the handover online," Beverly added.James watched her as she spoke, tempted to do something to shut her mouth. Patiently, he asked, "If you're not taking my daughter back to the base, where are you going?"Beverly's heart ached at the words "my daughter". She'd always hoped to live with Esther at the base, where Evan would never be able to reach them. But with him severely injured now, he wouldn't be able to do anything to her even if he wanted to, so she had the time to choose a place carefully."I haven't decided yet," Beverly said, sitting up from James' arms. "My eyes feel much better now. Can you grab a tissue for me so I can wipe the ointment off?"In the darkness, a warm breath brushed across her lips. She realized that sitting up had brought her much closer to him—too close. She pressed her hands against his chest, trying to create some distance. As she pulled back, she felt her head rest against something soft.It wa
