“Yes, it’s me!” Suzy said softly. “I’m sorry I came late.” Dylan was speechless.Seeing the faint redness in Suzy’s eyes, Dylan finally accepted that what he was seeing was real. This wasn’t some hallucination brought on by his longing for her. It was truly Suzy standing before him. After nearly
The blade struck Dylan’s shoulder, a blow that added to his already battered and bloodied body. His arms and ankles, pierced and torn, bled profusely, and Suzy’s heart clenched at the sight. "Dylan… Are you insane?" Breaking free from the chains like that—did he have a death wish? "Suzy..." Dy
The man in black remained unfazed. "Oh, I forgot to mention, Miss Frost, I’ve been immune to poisons since childhood. Ordinary toxins have no effect on me. If you want to take me down, you’ll need something far more exotic." Suzy was speechless.It seemed Claude’s men weren’t to be underestimated.
Suzy's words rekindled a glimmer of hope in Dylan, but escaping from this place was far easier said than done, especially with his body covered in injuries. “Don’t bother!” Dylan said sharply. “Suzy, if you’re saying this out of gratitude, then spare me! Yes, I want to be with you again, but only
Suzy thought for a moment. "Let’s keep this to ourselves for now, especially from Dylan." With his injuries as severe as they were, his recovery had to take priority. Allen gave Suzy a conflicted look. “Boss…” He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, the words never left his lips.
Suzy flipped through the pages, her breathing growing more unsteady with every entry she read. The journal detailed, with chilling precision, how her father had been hidden away by Charlotte all those years ago. It turned out that not only had her mother survived, but her father was also still a
After years of keeping him on a leash, she now wanted to cast him aside and run off with another man? That was a bit too brazen, even for her. Victor sped home, fury propelling him, and headed straight for Nadia’s room. Nadia had just gotten back from work and was about to take a shower. She had
Seeing Nadia cough up blood, Victor froze in panic. In all the years he’d known her, Nadia had been practically indestructible—never sick, barely even catching a cold. For her to suddenly collapse like this was unthinkable, and it sent a jolt of fear racing through him. No matter how much he cal
"Especially Barret and Aruna—they targeted me the moment I arrived. If it weren’t for them, I might not have found you so quickly!" Suzy said. "But think about it, if it had been someone else in my position, what would have happened to them? "What kind of fate would they have faced?" Thankfully,
As Suzy began her large-scale search, word quickly reached Dylan."Sir, we’ve found information about Mrs. Wright!" Desmond handed Dylan a report. "In a lawless area of Ridgehaven, some informants spotted a group searching everywhere with photos of her father." The moment Dylan saw the report, his
She thought that after that incident, their paths would never cross again. But to her surprise, Elliot had his father pay a hefty sum to track her down, declaring his intent to become her apprentice.Of course, she refused.She had no interest in taking on disciples, especially not one who was alrea
“It’s you!” The man looked confused. “You know me?”Instead of answering, Suzy asked, “You don’t recognize me?”“Should I?” He studied her intently, but his blank expression didn’t shift.In his eyes, Suzy saw nothing but confusion. “You’ve lost your memory, haven’t you?”His eyes narrowed in surpr
Finally, Drake stirred as if waking from a nap, letting out a yawn before speaking. "What did you just say?"It had to be said—Drake’s voice was surprisingly pleasant. Deep and rich, like the sound of a cello.Still, Suzy didn’t hold much hope for his appearance.After all, men in the underworld usu
Drake?The name alone carried an air of intimidation. "If that’s the case, then I might as well meet him," Suzy thought. "Who knows? I might even be able to use him." With that in mind, Suzy ignored the couple, allowing them to carry her to the car in the dead of night. The two seemed complete
Victor thought Dylan was wallowing in his emotions, but in reality, Dylan was busy tracking down Suzy’s whereabouts. Despite his efforts, he couldn’t uncover even the smallest trace. It was as if she were intentionally hiding herself. …And Dylan was right—Suzy was indeed deliberately concealing
Victor’s simple statement that Suzy was gone hit Dylan like a blow, nearly stopping his heart.He knew exactly what her silent departure meant, more clearly than anyone else.Even though he thought he was prepared for this moment, when it actually happened, he found himself unable to accept it.Her
Back in his room, Dylan struggled to calm the storm raging in his mind. He knew his avoidance would only leave Suzy disappointed and angry, but he genuinely didn’t want to drag her down with him. Unable to sleep, he tossed and turned until he finally gave in and drank a bit of alcohol to settle
