last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-03-20 19:09:55

During the day, Sean finished his work at the company and returned home soon after. He guessed that Jenna would be finishing college early as well, so he decided to go back and spend some time with her.

Once home, he climbed the stairs and called out to Jenna, "Jenna ..."

Esther was coming down the stairs.

"Where's Jenna?" he asked his sister.

"I don't know, Jenna didn't go to class today!" Esther sighed.

The words were ominous. How could Jenna miss class?

When Sean thought about their sex last night, he thought maybe Jenna was exhausted and decided to rest. "Maybe she's sleeping. She must be tired," he said and went to Jenna's room.

Suddenly Esther heard something fall to the floor with a loud thud.

Sarah and Esther looked at each other, waited for a moment, and when they didn't hear a sound, they left in confusion.

The door to Jenna's room was locked. They both listened for a while, then quietly pushed the door open and saw Sean sitting on the floor next to the bed, looking hagga

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 45. Sean's Wedding

    A man named Peter noticed that the woman sitting in front of him looked confused and sad! He went to the bathroom, and when he came out, he found the woman still there. So he asked in confusion: "Why haven't you left yet? Where are you going?"Jenna said: "I don't know.""You don't know?""I'm not from here, I'm here to travel."Peter was stunned. "Are you sure?" he asked. This was a small town in Canada, and judging by what Jenna had brought with her, it didn't look like she was here to travel. He looked at her bag and suddenly asked seriously, "Are you running away from home?"Jenna looked at him and didn't say anything."Where are you from?" Peter said unhappily, "You threw up on the plane. You're obviously not in the best of health and you're running away from home?""I didn't...""Did you know there are bad people even in the safest of places?"Jenna's eyes widened in surprise: Did he scare her?"I don't know what you're talking about, but can you recommend a cheap hotel?"Peter

    Jenna's heart was pounding. She reached into her purse and fumbled around, thinking she could call 911 if anything happened. As she thought about the situation, she felt even more scared.She cried and wanted to die!The figure in front of her heard her screams, stopped and walked towards her at an accelerated speed.Jenna noticed it, took a step back, then looked at the hat that gave her a sense of security and suddenly opened her eyes wide. "Peter?!"Peter frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you come home when it was dark?"Jenna looked at him, crying and even reaching out to hug him.Peter was stunned, unable to move: "You... What happened to you? Don't be afraid, I'm a cop, tell me!"Jenna cried even harder.Peter's mind was in turmoil. He hastily pushed Jenna away and helped her sit down on a lawn chair. "Tell me, what happened?" Jenna sobbed and said, "I got lost. I can't find my way back to my apartment..."Peter pulled on her arm and stood up: "You're still

    "Taylor?" Jenna was taken aback and froze."Miss Jenna, you...""Sorry, I have to go." Jenna grabbed her kids and ran. She had to go now or... she couldn't imagine what would happen.Taylor stared after her, expressionless as ever.Just then, Rose walked up to Taylor and saw Jenna running away, so she quickened her pace. "Do you two know each other?"Taylor turned to her and calmly replied, "Yes," he took out his cell phone to text Esther and walked away. "Rose, let's have lunch."Rose was curious about Taylor relationship with Jenna, so she didn't refuse and asked Taylor to follow her: "Taylor, her two kids aren't yours, are they?""No." Taylor said calmly. After a pause, he turned and asked, "How long has Jenna lived here? Don't you know who the father of her children is?"Rose was also stunned for a moment and said: "I don't know. She rented an apartment from my friend Theresa, and Theresa asked me to let Jenna work in my shop. From the beginning, Jenna was close to a policeman nam

    Jenna explained a little to Olivia. She lied, of course, and when her daughter fell asleep, Jenna continued packing.She frowned at her two children who didn't even know how to carry these clothes. It was hard enough for her to carry her two children with her own hands, how could she carry a suitcase? It looked like she would have to send it by express mail.The next day, Jenna went to get the money.Like before, she was afraid that Sean would check up on her, so she didn't dare use her bank card.But does he still care? Does she still have to be afraid to see him? No, Sean might not care about Jenna anymore, but if he ever found out that her flesh and blood lived outside, he would definitely take her.

    Esther and Jenna sat on the couch in the living room. Esther asked her what had happened during that time, and she told her only a few words lightly. But finally she said, "I got married..." After that she hung her head, not knowing how to explain and not knowing what Esther would think.Esther said, "You're married? To whom? But those kids are my brother's kids, right?"Jenna wanted to nod but didn't. Sean already had Charlotte, so she couldn't just nod her head. And even if Sean was still alone, she didn't know if he would accept the fact that Jenna had given birth to his child or not.Ester saw that she didn't answer, so she didn't ask again. She was silent for a moment, then she remembered something: "By the way, what are their names?""My daughter's name is Olivia and the boy's is Oliver.""What about the last name?"Jenna was stunned for a moment, recalling distant memories. Her smile faded and she said awkwardly, "I'd like to bathe my children first.""Go ahead, be my guest. Yo

    "Come to my apartment quickly," Esther said hurriedly."I have to see Taylor first.""He's here too.""Why is he in your apartment?" Sean sounded annoyed. Why was his assistant in his sister's apartment?Esther was silent for a moment, then said, "It's nothing. I suddenly felt like eating pizza, so I asked him to buy it for me."Sean took a deep breath, held back his anger and said: "Esther! What else do you know besides eating?"Esther quietly hung up and called Taylor, "My brother just got off the plane. Call him and tell him something important is going on and ask him to come to my apartment right away!"Taylor thought, "You're really annoying!" But she called Sean anyway and told him that something was going on and that he needed to come over right away to deal with it.Esther hung up and suddenly wanted to eat Jenna's omelet. She ran back in and said to Jenna, "Jenna, please make me an omelet. I have missed your omelet for years!"Jenna laughed and replied, "Okay. Then let's go

    "Mom..." Oliver comes over and asks Jenna. "Who is he?"Jenna came to, tears streaming down her cheeks. She wiped them away several times with her hands and looked at Sean, not knowing what to do.Esther was hiding outside the door, but suddenly she got a dangerous signal out of the corner of her eye, she pointed at the stove and said, "Fire, fire, fire..." If they didn't put the fire out, there would be a fire!Jenna turned around and immediately turned off the gas and pulled her children out. She didn't have time to ask Esther and said incoherently: "I'll go first! The food is ready, you can wrap it up and take it home!"Jenna didn't know where to go, so she walked around without direction and suddenly decided to go to Theresa's house.Esther saw her leaving and said to Sean, "You're not going after her?"Sean suddenly snapped out of his reverie and went out to follow her.Jenna was about to enter the elevator.

    Esther knocked on Sean's bedroom door, but there was no answer. Finding the door unlocked, she opened it, turned on the light and looked around, finally seeing Sean sitting silently on the floor under the sofa. He was holding a bottle of wine, taking a few sips and leaning back motionless.They were in the same hotel, but in different rooms."What are you doing?" Esther squatted down and picked up the wine, "Are you out of your mind? Why do you drink so much?"Sean said nothing and took the wine out of her hand. Esther refused to give it to him, hiding it behind her body and angrily asking, "Say something? What's wrong with you?!"Sean said angrily: "What do you want me to say? She's married! She has two kids! You've known that for a long time, haven't you?"Esther was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did she tell you?"Sean leaned back lazily and said sadly, "She said... she said she was married... why did she do that?""Didn't you ask more questions?" Ester tried to explain.

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 102. New Family

    Family. The word itself gives us a sense of comfort. We know that there is someone out there who cares about us, who loves us, and who will do whatever it takes to protect us. Valeria didn't know if she had that kind of love in her past. Someone to rely on, someone to call family, but now she does. She has a happy little family. "Good morning Val," Benjamin's voice rang in her ear. "Over here." Valeria called from the kitchen where she was busy making pancakes. "Good morning to you too," she greeted with a smile as Ben walked over and kissed her on the cheek as he put the groceries down. Don't get me wrong, they were actually just close friends, best friends, but lately Ben's attitude towards her had become super caring, more than ever, and Jenna was starting to like him, not because he was her only male friend, but because Ben was always there when she needed someone by her side, and every woman looks for a man like that. "Val?" Benjamin said as he snapped his fingers in fron

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 101. Killed

    Black, it is the color of darkness, of loneliness, of disorientation. This color was Jenna's only companion as she lay unconscious in bed. She could hear a soft beeping next to her, but what stood out the most was the throbbing pain all over her body. Her head hurt like crazy. There was a light weight on her arms, legs, and head. The only thing that was free was her waist. It hurt, it stung, it itched. She wanted to scream, to cry out, but she couldn't. Afraid of what would happen if she didn't get up, she began to concentrate on her fingers and tried to move them. Eventually it worked, and she took a break, because even though it was just moving the fingers, it took more energy than she expected. After a short rest, She used all her remaining strength to open his eyes. She groaned softly as intense pain pierced her skull, causing her to involuntarily close her eyes again. When the pain became unbearable, she opened her eyes again. The beeping sounded a little louder and fa

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 100. Mourning

    Black. Sean actually hated funerals because there were so many sad and hurt people, and here he was wearing black to the funeral of the person he loved the most. He still couldn't believe that Jenna was gone. Even though everyone in front of him was shouting 'she's dead', he still couldn't believe it, at least not in his heart. But her wrecked car, her burned body, the necklace around her neck that belonged to her mother, and then the ring on her index finger that she always wore seemed to give up hope that it wasn't really Jenna. So now they decided to bury her body next to her mother and father's grave, in the place she wanted. At that moment, Sean looked at himself in the mirror. There was a man in a black satin shirt, black pants and black shoes. His eyes were red and expressionless, and he had a newly grown beard. He couldn't recognize this man. This wasn't him, certainly not like him. She glanced at the row of ties lying carelessly in the corner of her closet. He told L

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 99. Accident

    Sean stood in front of the window in his office and stared at his reflection in the glass staring back at him, confusion and uncertainty clouding his vision. He pulled his coat closer to his body and sighed heavily. He had no idea what he was doing or what was happening to him. He woke up this morning with a severe headache, and when it subsided, he looked around and frowned. He had a vague memory of what happened last night, but he didn't know if last night was a dream or not, but it definitely felt more than real. Even if it was a dream, he could tell that it was the scariest dream he had ever had. Even though there was only Jenna in his mind, last night he dreamed of himself kissing Alexa, then Aiden's car pulling into the gate and then driving away. Was Jenna there? Did she see him kiss Alexa? He vaguely remembered Alexa suddenly kissing him, but he let her. He hoped it wasn't real, mostly because he was afraid. Afraid that Jenna would be angry. She would think, what kind

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 98. Alone

    Do you know the feeling when a bucket of water with lots of ice cubes in it is dumped on your head without warning and you want to scream, but your breath gets caught in your throat, restricting your vocal cords as the cold creeps into your bones? Yeah, that's what Jenna's feeling right now. No one was going to dump a bucket of ice on her head, but right now it would be much better than watching the events unfold in front of her. All of her previous resolve had simply vanished and probably burned up with the ashes blowing away in the wind. Sean and Alexa were standing in the doorway, or should she say they were kissing. Noticing the arrival of Aiden's car, they froze in place without blinking, and Jenna forcibly shifted her gaze from them to Aiden, who sat next to her, staring ahead with a sullen expression. "Are you going to watch them do it here or are you going to drive?" Jenna asked him with calm in her voice. Aiden nodded without looking at her and drove back and out the g

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 97. He Loves Her, Not Alexa

    Jenna realized that even though she was wearing high heels, the fact was that Aiden was still taller than her. Jenna put both hands on his shoulders and they swayed to the beat of the music. Feeling a sharp look on her back, Jenna looked back and her eyes met Sean's as he stared intently at Aiden's arms wrapped around her waist. His grip tightened around Alexa's waist until she winced in pain. His eyes flicked back to Alexa and apologized for the pain he had caused. Jenna wondered if he would apologize to her for all the pain he had caused her? He used to be so abusive. He had even been rough with her in bed the last time they had made love. And look, he couldn't even stand to see Alexa in a little pain. Jenna looked back forward to meet Aiden's amused eyes. "What's so funny?" she asked as she turned her around and Aiden pulled her closer. "I was just wondering what Sean was doing," Aiden chuckled. "Doing what?" asked Jenna confused. "He's obviously not interested in Al

    The car pulls up and like any other party, the paparazzi are the first to greet them with their camera lights flashing in full view. Jenna hides behind Sean and uses him as a shield to get her eyes used to the light. When she finally gets used to the light, she follows Sean and Aiden out of the car and runs toward the stairs. Jenna doesn't like posing for the camera, but Aiden disagrees as he takes her arm and makes her smile in front of several cameras. Jenna frowns at their intertwined hands, then Sean does something unexpected. He grabs her hand and pulls her to his side, away from Aiden and toward the large double doors that await their arrival. Jenna wanted to say that he shouldn't act like that in public, but she knew better than that what Sean was like. This man never liked to have his property touched by others, even if he was now too close to Alexa. Instead of arguing with him, however, Jenna let him drag her along. Soon they reached the large golden double doors, wh

    The sun kissed her face warmly, as if to say, "Rise and shine." Lazily, Jenna turned over and pulled the blanket over her head. But suddenly she remembered that today was Saturday, the day of the charity event. She woke up with a start. Her brown hair was loose in front of her face. She didn't even want to look at it, because she already knew the condition of her hair, as if it had just been hit by a storm. She walked to the dressing table and tied her messy hair into a ponytail, then went to the bathroom to do her daily routine. "Ah! You're awake. Your dress will be here in a few hours. Get some rest and be at the venue by 6," Aiden said, starting to walk out of her room. "Is everything ready?" Jenna mumbled in front of her toothbrush, which was still covered in toothpaste. She didn't understand half of what Aiden said, but she seemed to understand. Don't ask how. "See for yourself," Aiden yelled and ran out before Jenna could ask or say anything. Jenna quickly did what she

    "Seriously, Casey? I ask you to do one thing. One thing, and you can't get it done in time?" Jenna yelled angrily as she paced the kitchen, running a hand through her brown hair in frustration. "I'm sorry, Ma'am," she said in a shaky voice. "Tomorrow is the charity event, now what am I supposed to serve them?!" Jenna shouted again and hung up angrily. She was completely out of breath. She rarely got angry, and right now she was angry, stressed, and worried. It wasn't a good combination. How could things be so messy? Everything had been organized and Jenna should have been able to relax while waiting for the day of the event to arrive. But suddenly the caterer canceled the contract. Annoying laughter could be heard in the kitchen where Jenna was pacing angrily. She turned her head to the side and glared at Aiden, who was eating the tuna sandwich Lily had prepared for him. The man threw up his hands in surrender, but continued to laugh at her condition. After calming down, Je
