Nelson and Selina rushed straight to the operating room.To Ben's surprise, the men in black didn't try to stop them.Ben, who hadn't slept all night, watched them pass. A look of realization dawned on his face.As dawn broke and the sun began to rise, Ashley finally stabilized. Both mother and chil
Ben looked straight at Selina, a slight smile on his lips. "With you here, what's there to be afraid of?"He watched as Selina arranged two jackets into a rounded shape and stuffed them under her shirt, creating a convincing illusion of pregnancy. Selina was naturally thinner than Ashley, but the co
Seeing that their pursuers were now out of sight, Shadow Armor cursed under his breath.Their earlier acceleration might have been a ploy to force him to floor the gas pedal, triggering the brake failure."Hold on tight!" Shadow Armor shouted to Selina and Ben without looking back, gripping the stee
Selina opened her eyes, feeling a searing pain all over her body.She remembered Ben's car had been tampered with, causing the brakes to fail and the vehicle to lose control.Shadow Armor had been forced to use friction to slow them down, but an out-of-control tanker truck suddenly appeared ahead, b
As Liam recounted these events, he couldn't help but sigh. He cautiously probed, "Miss Miller, do you think the investors were too ruthless? Taking over someone's family business of generations over a single bet?"Selina gave Liam a strange look, making him feel uneasy and avert his gaze."The busin
Selina's mind raced as she processed the complex situation in Auroville. The city's rapid economic growth had been largely due to four of the six major conglomerates having their headquarters there, with the other two maintaining significant branches.Now, of those four, Bluewave had changed hands,
He too had realized the risk, yet he still played along.Selina closed her eyes helplessly, tears silently rolling down her cheeks.That cheerful boy who had professed his love for her, who had smiled and said he'd wait in line to pursue her, who promised to send her flowers and be ready at her call
Selina stared at Vincent's message for a full minute before scrolling through her other messages. There were well-wishes from colleagues and meeting requests from business partners. David's chat remained unchanged, showing only her unanswered apology for standing him up.Taking a deep breath, Selina
Once again, Selina was left dizzy from David's intense, dominating kiss.By the time they left, Nicole's luxury car was long gone.Selina pressed her slightly swollen lips together, glaring at David in annoyance.Because of her pregnancy, David had been restraining himself from their usual marital i
But even if she knew, surely she wouldn't be angry enough about that to ban him from their bedroom?"I'm sorry, honey!" Daniel had to humble himself and apologize. "I shouldn't have gone behind your back to pick up Dad. Please don't be angry."Nicole rolled her eyes: "You still don't know what you d
Maya's butler and servants delivered the gifts, giving Nicole and Selina no chance to refuse before quickly departing as swiftly as they had arrived.Under Nicole's curious questioning, Selina finally had to come clean. She explained everything about how she came to call Maya her sister-in-law.Nico
The beads didn't look particularly special, but after several failed attempts to refuse, Selina finally accepted them.Nelson, who had been pacing in the castle courtyard, saw David emerge holding Selina's hand with a wooden box in his other hand. His handsome brows furrowed.Maya had let them go wi
Maya smirked at Selina's protective stance over her husband.Sure, David was good-looking with a great physique, but he was taken - definitely not her type."I'm not interested in your man," Maya said, giving David a dismissive look. "A married man going to bars alone to pick up women? How shameless
"Honey, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me!""What happened to your clothes and hair?" David asked after checking her over for injuries."Oh, I was sunbathing and reading in the back garden, and I accidentally fell asleep!" Selina admitted, lowering her head shyly.David finally relaxed comp
Just thinking about what Selina might have endured made David want to strangle Maya.But he didn't want to frighten Selina.She'd already been traumatized when he was drugged by Maya and almost forced himself on her - it had taken her so long to recover.How could he bear to make her fear him by tak
David's face darkened like storm clouds, and he let out a scornful laugh: "You kidnapped my wife just to get me here, didn't you?""Your wife?" Maya's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief, but she quickly composed herself, looking at David with an odd expression."You think I'm still obsessed
Nelson and David waited anxiously at the entrance until the butler hurried over.He glanced at Nelson, his gaze lingering for a moment, before turning to David: "Mr. Wilson, my lady requests your presence inside!"David furrowed his brow and turned to Nelson in confusion, only to see that Nelson's f
