Maria handed her a cup of tea. "Tea is better; coffee is so bitter."Aveline accepted it. "Thank you."Maria continued, "Let's go inside first. There are two spots in this building that the agent said are great, but I couldn't tell for sure. I thought you could help me decide."Aveline replied, "I might not be an expert in this either. By the way, what kind of studio are you planning to open?""A studio for architectural design," Maria said.Aveline's eyes flickered at the mention. She was an architectural designer herself.Maria seemed to recall something and looked at her. "I checked your profile. Aren't you an architectural designer? Where are you working now?""I’m not working at the moment," Aveline said.Maria's eyes lit up. "Would you consider joining my studio? I can offer better pay than your previous job, flexible hours, and I won't interfere with your ideas. Think about it?"Aveline didn't expect the invitation and smiled, politely declining, "Thank you, but I’m not looking

"Hello?" The man's voice was deep and magnetic, but his tone was cold.Maria replied leisurely, "Boss, Aveline is planning to leave Cloudflare City. If you want to do something, you better hurry."Lucas’ face darkened at her words. "Did she tell you that herself?""Mm-hmm.""Did she mention where she plans to go?" Lucas asked.Maria responded, "I've only known her for two days. I was surprised she even agreed to meet me. How could she tell me something so personal?"Lucas' voice turned icy, "Then you better work hard, or I'll dock your year-end bonus."With that, he hung up.Maria glared at her phone. Such a wicked capitalist! Always exploiting the weak, helpless, and pitiful like them! She cursed him to never get to reconcile with his wife!…Back at home, Aveline started cooking and then sent a message to Russell.“Russ, is it convenient to visit tonight?”Russell replied, “Yes, it's convenient.”She put her phone away, packed the cooked meal, and headed to the hospital.When she o

Thinking of Darren's fierce and menacing appearance, Aveline couldn't help but furrow her brows. Russell handed her a document. "I had someone investigate him. Take a look at his file."Aveline took it and began to read. Darren, in his forties, had just been released from prison after serving ten years for manslaughter.Russell looked at her and slowly said, "Do you know who he killed?"Aveline shook her head."It was Lucas' second brother, Leo Tudor," Russell said.The name was unfamiliar to Aveline.Russell continued, "But I couldn't understand why he wants to kill you. After my investigation, I found out that he kidnapped two Tudor brothers back then. Someone reported him, and in a fit of rage, he set fire and killed Leo, while the other one got rescued."He looked at her and asked, "I suspect that the person who reported him might have been you. Aveline, do you really not remember any of this?"Aveline's face showed confusion."Report him? Kidnap?" She tried to recall, but her mind

Lucas narrowed his eyes dangerously. "I'll show you right now if it has anything to do with me!"He forcefully grabbed her and pushed her onto the sofa. Before she could react, his tall, heavy body pressed down on her."No!" Aveline exclaimed, kicking wildly.Lucas easily subdued her, his hot breath close to her face. "What's the problem? Don't forget, we are married."Aveline gritted her teeth. "He told me about Darren!"Lucas paused at her words, staring into her slightly reddened eyes before slowly getting up.Aveline stood, adjusting her clothes. "He saved me before and has been trying to find Darren, but the man is cunning and keeps hiding."Lucas was irritated. The thought of Darren finding Aveline as soon as he got out of prison, and the fact that Russell had saved her, made him even more agitated.Aveline headed to the kitchen and took out the food from the pot. She hadn't had dinner yet.Lucas watched her intently and suddenly followed her.This time, Aveline didn't offer him

Lucas stood up and followed her, his intense gaze fixed on her, clearly displeased with her attitude. Aveline tried to close the door behind her, but Lucas forcefully pushed his way in."What are you doing?" Aveline asked warily.Lucas' tall figure filled the room, making it feel cramped. He started undressing and then lay down on the bed. This was the bed that Selene had reserved for Aveline, one that was filled with her scent.Seeing this, Aveline immediately protested, "Lucas, this is my bed."Lucas patted the space beside him, his eyes dark and inviting. "Share it with me."Aveline's mouth twitched in disbelief. Did he not understand her words? This was her bed, and he had no right to take over.She walked over and grabbed his arm. "Get up. There's no place for you to sleep here. If you want to sleep, go home!"But Lucas was too heavy for her to move. Instead, with a light tug, he pulled her down onto him.Aveline's eyes widened in shock. Before she could react, Lucas flipped her o

"Ave, I'm really at the end of my rope. Can you help me?"As soon as the call connected, Zane's weathered, trembling voice came through. The middle-aged man sounded utterly helpless.Aveline was taken aback and quickly asked, "Mr. Zane, what's wrong? Tell me slowly."Zane said, "I'm in Cloudflare City. It's hard to explain over the phone. Where are you? Can I come to see you?"Aveline agreed. "Alright."She asked Zane for his current location, then hung up and quickly started getting ready.Lucas, sitting on the bed, watched her with his intense eyes. "What's the matter?""It's none of your business," Aveline replied.Lucas' face darkened. He was her husband! She was facing an issue, so how could she show him such an attitude?Aveline, however, had no time to worry about his feelings. Grabbing her keys, she pulled him along and headed out the door. "I'm leaving."Locking the door behind her, she ignored Lucas completely. Standing in the hallway, Lucas' expression grew even more unplea

Aveline said, "Mr. Zane, please wait here for my call. If I managed to see Bobby, I'd let you know. I'm worried they might not let us both in. If that happened, we’d just be wasting our time."Zane hesitated, unsure of what to do.Aveline gave him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, I'll find a way to help Bobby. Your family took care of me during high school. I owe you that much."Zane nodded, "Alright, alright, I'll do as you say. But be careful.""I will," Aveline promised.She left the small motel and headed straight for the Tudor Estate. This was her second time going there alone. The first time was when Lucas had just regained his memory, and Barbara had invited her to the estate for dinner. She had witnessed Lucas being kind to Sophia.Recalling that scene, Aveline felt a twinge of pain within her. Back then, she was still reeling from the disbelief and sorrow. How could Lu, who had been so gentle and loving just a few days before, change so drastically overnight?Aveline's expre

At that time, he had shaken off Leo's hand. "What I do is none of your business!"He walked away, ignoring Leo's calls behind him. Lucas squeezed his eyes shut and, when he opened them again, they were cold and devoid of warmth.Just then, Yvonne walked in, placing a cup of tea next to Frederick. "Are you done discussing? Aveline is here, outside."Lucas' expression shifted. He walked over to the window and saw Aveline standing downstairs. The sun was glaring, but she showed no intention of coming inside. He knew she was reluctant to be here."Why is she here?" Lucas asked in a low voice.Yvonne replied, "The servant said she's here for Bobby, probably to plead for him."Lucas pressed his lips into a thin line.Frederick looked at Lucas coldly. "Lucas, you know what you have to do!"Yvonne spoke softly, "Don't be so harsh. The items have been returned. Maybe Bobby just made a mistake. Since Aveline knows him, why not let it go this time?""Who does Aveline think she is?" Frederick scof

One of Jolie’s long, slender legs was exposed to the cool air, and Gavin’s fingers instinctively tightened, as if they could still feel the smoothness of her thigh under his grip. His gaze darkened, though his expression only grew colder. His sharp, chiseled features gave him a distant, unapproachable aura—a man who seldom smiled and whose demeanor warned others to stay away.He was cold, almost like an ice block."Debt’s owed," he said flatly, tossing out the two words before sitting on the sofa and picking up the phone to make a call.Jolie blinked in surprise, processing what he said. Debt owed?Was that something you could even keep on hold?But thinking about it, he probably didn’t need anything right now. So, if he wanted to leave the debt hanging, so be it.Stretching lazily, Jolie sat up and said, "Have someone bring me a change of clothes."With that, she pulled the blanket aside, slowly rising from the bed despite the discomfort between her legs and headed toward the bathro

As the effects of the drug finally began to fade, Jolie lay exhausted on the bed, her body drenched in sweat. Her skin, especially across her delicate shoulder blades, bore faint marks from their encounter and her breath ragged as it brushed against her own back. Her vision was hazy, and she barely had the strength to speak."I... I’m fine now... you can stop," she murmured, her voice weak and broken from the strain of what had just happened.The madness of moments before still pulsed through her, the aftershocks of it lingering in her body. She never expected that grabbing a random man for help would lead to this, nor did she expect him to have such relentless stamina.Yet, the man behind her didn’t stop. He didn’t respond either. His large hands remained firmly gripped around her slender waist as if he were trying to squeeze the very breath from her."Stop... I told you to stop, didn’t you hear me?" Jolie’s anxiety spiked as he continued. What was wrong with him? They’d agreed he was

Gavin said nothing and simply hung up the phone, his expression darkening by the second.Behind him, Jolie’s soft, pained whimpers filled the air. She was writhing on the bed, her delicate skin flushed a faint pink.Gavin clenched his jaw, tugging at his tie. It had already loosened from when she’d pulled on it earlier, and with a rough yank, it came completely undone. Frustration simmered beneath his calm exterior.Where was Selena? She was supposed to be finding help, but she still hadn’t returned.His frown deepened as he reached for the door, ready to leave."Please… help me…"Her desperate voice, laced with a hint of a sob, echoed from behind him. The softness of it hit him like a lit match to his chest, sparking a heat he wasn’t used to feeling. "Please… I’ll pay you… I won’t take it for free…" Jolie’s voice broke as tears streamed down her face. She was sobbing now, her words dripping with helplessness and shame, as if offering him money would somehow make her request more bear

"Stop moving," Gavin growled in a low voice.But Jolie, completely under the control of the drugs, was acting purely on instinct, seeking out what her body craved most. She didn’t register his words at all. Instead of stopping, she slipped her hand inside his shirt, feeling the hard muscles of his chest."Mm..." Jolie let out a soft sound, whether from the satisfying feel of his muscles or because the touch of his skin intensified the drug’s effects, it wasn’t clear.Gavin's breathing became heavier. He couldn’t stay here any longer—this drugged and irrational woman could do anything at this point, and there was no telling what she’d attempt next.Quickly surveying his surroundings, Gavin spotted a quieter route. Without hesitation, he carried Jolie out through the back door, re-entering the villa through another entrance. He headed upstairs and slipped into the nearest empty room, laying her down on the bed.Just as he moved to leave, Jolie, still hazy and half-conscious, sensed his d

"Let… let me go!" Jolie struggled with all her might, but the drugs were quickly sapping her strength, leaving her powerless to break free.The man, too impatient to care, ignored her pleas and began dragging her toward the back exit."Hey! She told you to let her go. Are you deaf?" A sharp voice suddenly cut through the air.The man froze, startled, and looked up to see a girl standing not far away."Who the hell are you? This has nothing to do with you. Get lost!" He snapped, not recognizing Selena, his tone turning nasty.Selena’s expression grew colder as she took in Jolie’s disheveled state. Without hesitation, she stepped forward and slapped the man hard across the face, then yanked Jolie away from him."Letting yourself fall into the hands of this scum? Where’s your fight?" Selena said sharply.Jolie’s blurry consciousness flickered at the sound of her familiar voice. When she realized it was Selena, her tensed body finally relaxed, leaning heavily into her for support."Take me

Jolie watched Selena’s retreating figure and shook her head in frustration. What could she do? Selena’s emotional wounds ran deep, and no matter what Jolie tried, it seemed impossible to bridge the gap between them.Returning to the party, she glanced around at the crowd of men and women mingling with champagne flutes in hand, but her mind wasn’t on the event. She casually picked up a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and sipped it slowly.What she didn’t notice was a man standing across the room, watching her. As she drank, his eyes darkened, and he licked his lips suggestively.After finishing about half the glass, Jolie started feeling strange. Her body was growing weak, her skin hot and feverish, and a strange itchiness spread through her veins.Her brows furrowed in confusion. What was happening? She headed toward the restroom, but as she rounded a corner, her legs gave out, and she had to grab the wall for support to keep from collapsing."Did someone drug me?" she murmu

Maria looked at the two little ones, absolutely delighted, and then turned to Aveline. "I’ve got some happy news to share as well."Selena guessed, "You're pregnant?"Maria nodded. "That’s right."Selena gave her a thumbs-up. "Wow, that was fast! You said it and made it happen."Maria smiled. "I couldn’t fall too far behind. I need to make sure my kid has the best opportunities and chances, right?" With their babies close in age to Ethan and Emma, Maria thought it would be perfect for them to grow up together, maybe even become childhood sweethearts.She looked at Selena and asked, "Weren’t you eager at first too? Why haven’t you made any moves yet?"Selena sighed. "I’m not sure. Honestly, I’m a little scared."Maria reassured her, "Take your time, no rush."Selena got up and left the room, heading outside for some fresh air. Seeing Aveline go through the struggles of pregnancy and the dangers of childbirth genuinely frightened her. On top of that, she worried she wouldn’t be a good m

At first, the twin really did look quite wrinkly and not very cute, but as time passed, they started to fill out and became more and more beautiful. The baby boy had a calm demeanor, rarely crying or fussing. He spent most of his time either eating or sleeping, with large, dark eyes like black grapes, a high nose, a tiny mouth, and chubby, round cheeks full of baby fat.The baby girl, on the other hand, was much more lively and prone to fussing, expressing her displeasure whenever things didn’t go her way. She cried the most between the two.The baby boy was born first, and the girl was the younger sister. Every time, the sister seemed determined to make her brother cry, but she never succeeded. Once fed, she would calm down.“Have you thought of any names for them yet?” Selena asked, looking at Aveline, who was slowly recovering, while playfully toying with the little ones in the stroller.Aveline replied, "We’ve chosen some temporary nicknames, but we haven’t settled on their full n

Aveline said, "Braden is probably not interested."“Huh? Why?” Selena asked, confusion spreading across her face.Aveline explained, “Baron, Braden, and Maria all have a special bond with Lucas. No matter what, they wouldn’t betray him.”She paused for a moment, her thoughts drifting to Brian, the man who had always seen it as his duty to protect Lucas. She wondered how he was faring now.Selena shrugged. “Alright, I suppose. He’s helped me a lot recently, and if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have handled everything so smoothly.”Aveline replied, “It’s all over now. Taking him with you wouldn’t really serve any purpose.”“True,” Selena agreed, nodding as she let go of the subject.She ended up staying in Larbor City for a month. One night, Aveline suddenly went into labor. The family rushed to action—though there was some initial chaos, they quickly regained control. Drivers got the car ready, calls to the hospital were made, and everything unfolded smoothly.At the hospital, Lucas h
