"Steph, we need to find her as soon as possible!" Heather's voice tightened with urgency.Yes, they needed to bring Natalie back swiftly. They needed to get her away from Cedric!The situation in Wexford was already precarious. Given Cedric's unique status there, it was impossible to think that it wouldn't affect Natalie.When Clyde returned, Heather approached him anxiously. "Cly, is there any news? Did he go to Wexford?"Wexford!Upon learning that Cedric had taken Natalie, their immediate suspicion was that he had taken her to Wexford.Considering Wexford's unstable situation, Cedric taking Natalie there would be extremely dangerous. Heather was already on the verge of losing her composure when Clyde shook his head. "No."The answer only tightened the knot in everyone's hearts. They weren't in Wexford?"Kyle, who came to Simeria with him this time, has gone back. We have no idea where Cedric is!" Clyde said.At this revelation, Heather felt as if all the strength had
Natalie woke up with a slight headache and immediately sensed that something was amiss. The bed seemed to be swaying, and it felt like an earthquake was happening.She opened her eyes to assess the situation. However, she stiffened instantly! She sat up from the bed with a swift motion, closed her eyes, then opened them again. Yet... darkness...! Complete darkness filled her vision.She reached out, but she couldn't see anything in the darkness, not even her own hand.The common belief was that in any kind of darkness, one should at least be able to see moving shadows as long as one's vision is intact.However, Natalie couldn't see anything.As Natalie tried to comprehend her situation, Cedric came over after being alerted by the commotion.When he arrived, he saw Natalie getting out of bed.Her eyes were... blank and dull.Cedric's heart skipped a beat. He knew all too well what it meant when a person's eyes in that state.And Natalie now... "Nat." His chest tig
Yuloria?Natalie had heard of that place before. It was a place with beautiful landscapes. Cedric had even once mentioned taking her there when he had time to relax, enjoy delicious food, and experience the local customs. Little did they know that they would end up going there under such circumstances."I want to return home!" She said with unwavering determination. She didn't want to go to Yuloria. She just wanted to be far away from this man, especially in this helpless darkness. Right now, all she wanted was to return to her family and to be with her parents.She had no desire to be near Cedric."Be good," Cedric said.He came to her side and took her ice-cold hand that lacked any warmth. Natalie was about to forcefully pull away from him, but he tightened his grip so she couldn't break free.Natalie was silent.Her whole body was trembling, and Cedric clearly felt her shivering."Nat.""I told you, let go of me!" Her voice trembled, showing extreme resistance to th
What a statement!When Natalie heard those words, she laughed—a crazy, tear-inducing laughter."Nat!"Her laughter, in the end, stabbed his heart.Their relationship shouldn't be like this. Why did it have to come to this point? And at this stage, who should be blamed?After her moment of madness, Natalie suddenly seemed to calm down. However, even in this calmness, Cedric could still feel her body trembling."It's like I'm like someone without free will in your world, Cedric," Natalie said.Once, when they had been together....Even in their past life, others used to say she had a luxurious life. They said that Cedric cherished her so much and that she didn't need to do anything. She just needed to be the young mistress of the Johnson family and live a good life. But only Natalie knew...She never had any freedom after she got together with Cedric.Regardless of anything, it was always Cedric who made decisions between them. She was never in control. Now, as she spok
When conflicts and disagreements occurred between Natalie and Cedric in the past, Natalie would diligently recall the beautiful moments they shared. Initially, she believed her encounter with Cedric was wonderful and worth remembering.But later...! Too much happened between them. It was to the point that even those beautiful memories couldn't support her to move on. She completely let go of this man. Now, Natalie was glad that she had let go of him early. If she had discovered the shocking conspiracies hidden between them when she still cherished him deeply...Natalie didn't think she would have been able to endure it."I'll let you decide everything else, but about us going to Yuloria... you'll have to listen to me!" At this moment, Cedric's tone became more forceful.Natalie felt her heart sank when she heard this.Cedric carefully placed her on the bed. His presence was so strong at this moment, and Natalie could clearly sense it. This sensation made her heart tigh
When Natalie heard Lydia's words, she stiffened instantly.Lydia was right. If Heather were to know about her current situation, she would worry. At this moment, Natalie's restlessness and longing to return to Simeria quieted down."Miss.""Lydia, bring me some water," Natalie took a deep breath and requested."Of course," Lydia said and hurried out of the room. She soon returned with a glass of water for Natalie.Cedric watched from outside. He saw how everyone in the room calmed down quickly, and there was finally some relief in his eyes. It seemed that having familiar faces around made a significant difference. No matter what he said in front of Natalie now, she wouldn't listen. That was the most distressing part.But things were better now. With Lydia and Xyla by her side, Natalie seemed a bit calmer.When the plane landed in Yuloria, it felt like even the air had cleared up. While the climates in Simeria and Wexford weren't great, Yuloria was renowned as a habitab
Currently, Natalie seemed to have become indifferent to everything! In the past...Cedric felt that Natalie had let go of everything. But after she learned about Blair, it felt more than that...!"Mr. Johnson, please let go of Ms. Natalie!" In the end, Lydia couldn't stand it anymore. She stepped forward and stood in front of Cedric. Cedric had to admit that this girl had some courage. Even in this situation, she knew how to protect Natalie.Cedric looked at Lydia, and his eyes dimmed. "Move!"His voice was cold and dangerous."Ms. Natalie doesn't want you to hold her!" Lydia exclaimed.Cedric was silent.Natalie didn't want him to hold her?!The chill that was already present in the air became even colder under Lydia's words. However, Lydia didn't give in."Mr. Johnson, the fact that Ms. Natalie is here in Yuloria with you and not insisting on returning to Simeria is already her limit for you."Limit?That was right! Natalie wanted to go back to Simeria. With how
As soon as Cedric finished speaking, the air instantly became silent. Even those apart from Cedric and Natalie, especially Lydia and Xyla, felt their hearts rise to their throats. They all sensed that something was off with Natalie.Naturally, Cedric felt the same! What kind of existence was Blair in his world? Natalie knew, especially after reading the documents. Blair was a presence a thousand times more important than even Isabella or Kayla.Throughout the years...Only now did Cedric mention Blair's name, indicating how deeply he had buried her existence in his heart. The pain associated with her was something Cedric never wanted to face in his lifetime. It was too agonizing. Every mention of her made his heart ache to the point of suffocation.Yet, at this moment... When her name was brought up again, his heart couldn't help but tighten.Blair...! Natalie chuckled coldly. The mockery in her smile made Cedric's chest feel even more constricted."Nat!""Tell
