โBut, Mom, nobody choked you. You choked yourself with your hands.โ Victor was very sure because he saw Eleanor choking herself when she had a nightmare, only to wake up and say she had encountered a ghost. โMom, Iโm very confused as to why you did it.โ โWhat? I strangled myself?โ Eleanor was in disbelief. How could it be? She had such a real nightmare, and those hands that were choking her wanted to strangle her to death. Who knew that the owner of those hands would be herself?! This was a secret she did not dare to reveal, and not even her son would tell others about it. They would bury the secretโฆ โMom, youโre ill indeed. You canโt even remember what you did, and your mind is confused.โ Victor rubbed the spot between his eyebrows and looked exhausted. โYou should rest first. Iโll watch Joan for you.โ Eleanor grabbed Victorโs hands as though she was grabbing a lifeline. Her son was finally understanding. He knew to bear things for her and share her sorrow. She was rel

Mona could not wake Master Fontaine up no matter what. Seeing how there were many tubes on his body and his eyes were tightly shut, she was worried sick and could not help but cry. โThe patient just had brain surgery and needs to be monitored in the ICU for a week. It wonโt be a big problem if heโs out of danger, but as his family, please donโt get emotional. He needs a stable and quiet space to rest.โ Thaddeus pulled Mona to his side. He was secretly relieved as he looked down at the old man on the hospital bed. Thank God that Master Fontaine was rescued. Mona had been praying by Thaddeusโ side all night. She was close to holding a cross and kneeling down to recite the Bible. โThe driver is outside. You should go back to rest now. Iโll handle the rest.โ Thaddeus was calm. He thoughtfully arranged everything that would come next. โBut Grandpa just came out. What if he wakes up and canโt see me?โ โNo, he wonโt wake up for the time being.โ Thaddeus fixed Monaโs hair in fron

โGive me back my phone,โ Mona said to Victor. โLet me take you home.โ Victor put the phone into his pocket. It would be awkward for Mona to try to reach for it. Mona gritted her teeth. She looked up and glared at Victor. Victor spread his hands and shrugged, expressing that he was helpless. โScumbag!โ Mona cursed internally. A cab happened to be here at this time, thus she lifted her hand to stall it and went in, leaving Victor on the spot. Victor stood in place. He watched the cab drive away until it slowly disappeared from his line of sight. His playful look froze a little as he slowly looked down with disappointment and regret in his eyesโฆ He stood in the wind for a long time and did not know what he was thinking. He only felt that he looked slightly ugly as he put his ego down for someone else to step on just now. Nonetheless, given his and Monaโs status at the moment, he did not know how else he could have approached her. While Victorโs thoughts drifted away, the pho

When Thaddeus returned to his grandfatherโs ward, the machine beeped and made an alarming sound that alerted him right away. Master Fontaineโs ventilator had been removed. Thaddeus hurried over and put it back on him. He glanced at the screen. If he had not handled the situation in time, Master Fontaine would not have been saved. After calming down, Thaddeus realized that someone wanted Master Fontaine dead. Given that something like that happened while he stepped out for a few minutes, it must be someone he knew. Thaddeus calmed down and called his assistant to come over immediately. He first checked the surveillance camera, but coincidentally, the surveillance equipment malfunctioned during that period, causing all the screens to turn black. None of them could be restored. Someone must have done it. For all he knew, it was a mole. โCall the guards here to keep watch 24 hours on duty. Do it now.โ Thaddeus gave the order decisively, and his assistant executed it right awa

Mona did not take her phone and knew nothing about what happened last night. When she came out of the hospital elevator, she saw that the whole floor was guarded by soldiers in uniform. Two guards stood on both sides of the corridor at every meter. Mona could not help but feel her heart tighten when she saw the scene. โStand right there.โ When she came out of the elevator, she was stopped by one of the soldiers. โThis floor has been sealed off. Outsiders arenโt allowed to come and go as they please.โ โIโm Thaddeusโ wife, and Iโm here to deliver breakfast to him and my grandpa.โ Mona revealed her identity, but that guard responded with a straight face, โYouโre not allowed to do that. Mr. Fontaine said that no one is allowed to come in.โ โThen, can you help me deliver the breakfast?โ The guard hesitated and was about to go and ask Thaddeus for instructions when the ward door opened. A tall and handsome man walked out with a white shirt and a high-class back belt. What was mor

Mona looked down at the cold, hard thing she was touching with her hand. โA gun?โ โThink for yourselfโgiven that a gun is needed in this situation, do you think itโs a game?โ Thaddeus pinched Monaโs nose as she did not know her limits. She probably did not know how many interests were involved and how many people would be eager to make a move if Master Fontaineโs critical situation was known to the public. Master Fontaine stopped managing their family business, but he had served the armed services when he was young. The name Xavier was famous in the army such that every soldier knew about his great achievements. Just those veterans in South Georgia and Lindsburg alone would assemble and obey his orders if he gave the order. Once such a figure fell, all kinds and demons and monsters would secretly make a move. Mona stuck out her tongue and looked playful. โI know it was a simple and childish thought. Iโm aware of the army force behind Grandpa. Many people mustโve coveted it an

Mona spent a day reading through the script. She was very satisfied with it. Perhaps because the heroineโs persona was very similar to hers, and the plot was attractive due to the suspense and thrilling elements in it, Mona decided to take up the job after some thought. Nonetheless, she requested her agent that she would only go on set once her family affairs were settled. Otherwise, she would be too worried to go out to work if her grandfather did not wake up. At noon, Mona put down the script in her hand. She was rather hungry, and it was time to eat lunch. Just as she was thinking about what she should have for lunch, a guard delivered lunch to the ward. โEat,โ Thaddeus looked at his laptop and said to Mona without even looking up. Their lunch was not exactly sumptuous. They were food similar to what soldiers would have in the army, but it was enough for the two of them. Mona walked to the dining table and picked up her cutleries to start eating. Thaddeus adjusted the

The studioโs car directly sent Mona to a five-star hotel in Neuffield. When Mona saw the capital G logo at the hotel, she instantly recognized that this was the Gravesโ newly opened hotel. Tim had once told her that the Graves intended to expand their hotel layout and build a five-star hotel that belonged to Graves & Co alone. They did it, and this five-star hotel was truly beautiful. โStella has arrived. Letโs move faster.โ Sophie had the document in her mouth while she closed the door with her hand and nudged Mona forward. โThat writerโs name is Stella?โ โMm.โ Sophie took out her phone to call the water and asked which room she was in. Afterward, she handed the document in her mouth to Mona and said, โSee for yourself. This is her information.โ The two of them walked into the hotel. Sophie stood and called while Mona sat in the lobbyโs bar and looked through Stellaโs information. Stella was the writerโs pen name. She was very young in her early 30s. From her picture, Mo

The couple was tired after a time of bonding, and they lay on the wicker chair, closing their eyes before slipping into dreamland. Sometime later, Thaddeus felt a chill and opened his eyes. His T-shirt was wet, and Bobby and Millie were spraying water at him with water guns. The youngest child was nearby too in her stroller. She suckled on a pacifier and watched the bustle. โWhereโs your mommy?โ Thaddeus shuffled his hair and looked around, searching for Mona. โFreeze, Daddy. We have held Mommy captive. Surrender yourself to us.โ Acting like the boss, Millie pointed her massive water gun at her daddy. Thaddeus had indulged his eldest daughter so much that the girl would only have things her way. Nevertheless, Thaddeus played along since it was only a game. He knew his children well. Millie took after Mona and was shrewd. Still, Millie would be on her best behavior when in public. โHurry up and surrender, Daddy. Put your hands up, and we will release Mommy.โ Millie poked

It was a cooling breeze for the Summer as flowers bloomed in the garden of Fontaine Residence. Mona rested on a wicker chair under the wine arbor, holding in hand the latest issue of the weekly design magazine, with her face on the cover. In the photo, she held a trophy up on the stage of a design competition, standing out amidst the radiant background. Since the birth of her youngest, Mona took a month off for rest before picking up her passion again and returning to the world of design. Recently, she won first place in an international design competition and found fame. Mona was happy with her life and enjoyed the rich and peaceful state of things. She had time to herself for once during the weekend, so she found a quiet spot to enjoy time alone while the kids had a nap. The sunlight shone over Mona through the leaves, basking her in warmth. She let out a yawn and closed her eyes for a nap. Thaddeus walked out of the house and saw the woman enjoying the moment of bliss. The t

โMommy, did the baby kick you today?โ Millie wobbled her way over and placed her hand on Monaโs belly. She could feel the baby stirring inside her mommyโs stomach. Millie was pleasantly surprised. โThe baby kicked me! Mommy, is the baby swimming inside your belly?โ โYeah. The baby is kicking.โ Mona affectionately caressed her belly. The fetus had been kicking and rolling a lot more lately, so she could not get much sleep. The tall and strong man drew near and looked tenderly at Mona. His husky voice lingered in Monaโs ear. โWerenโt you craving strawberries? I placed an order, and the fruit is being airlifted here as we speak. Itโll arrive tonight.โ โYay.โ Mona was gleeful. Since the beginning of her pregnancy, she had become quite fussy and craved the strangest food. She wanted caviar from Japan, cookies from France, and strawberries from the highlands. Anything she asked for would be transported fresh to the house the next day.The man had taken good care of her during her en

โNo. I wonโt let myself go.โ The man huffed heavily after finishing his sit-ups. Then, he rolled out of bed and got changed in the walk-in closet. Mona stared at the manโs well-toned back, gasping at his body upkeep. People would probably have a hard time believing he was a father of three. With that in mind, Mona became aware of a potential threat. She got up and drew close to the man. โYouโre responsible for taking care of the baby once the child is born.โ Thaddeus straightened his tie. โAlright. I can do that. I want to be present in the babyโs life and your pregnancy. You should rest at home once your belly gets bigger. Iโll handle Bobby and Millieโs school run, okay?โ The man pinched Monaโs face dotingly. โNow youโre talking. Are you heading out?โ Mona got up on her tiptoes to brush off the dust from his shoulders. โYeah. I need to sort out a lot of paperwork.โ โI wrote down notes of the meeting I attended on your behalf a few days ago.โ Mona walked out to retrieve a

Thaddeus was in the hospital for a week before he was discharged. The election day for the successor of the Fontaine Group was two weeks later, but Thaddeus had not made a full recovery in his legs. He remained in a wheelchair and persisted in his daily physiotherapy. Mona had a room freed up in Fontaine Residence for Thaddeusโ rehabilitation. A specialized doctor would come around the house every day to help Thaddeus with his recovery. Thaddeus was a strong man to fight through the pain in his physiotherapy sessions. That day, Mona watched as the workers hung a decorative painting on the wall in the hallway. She ordered paintings of her preference and had them shipped from abroad. Mona instructed the workers to put it up, not paying attention to the wobbly painting that had been hung behind her. The painting was about to hit her from the back. Thaddeus was exiting the rehabilitation room when he caught sight of the danger. Getting up from his wheelchair, Thaddeus took large stri

The few pictures of Mona and Victor at the height of a tussle gave the impression that they were having an intimate moment. Thaddeus went through the photos with a look of disdain. โSo you stood there and pretended to take pictures of me to show me these? You set my wife up with another man to tell me she was cheating on me?โ It was not hard to guess the game the paparazzi were playing, but who was he trying to fool? The man was dumbstruck, as it never occurred to him that Thaddeus could see through him. It had taken the three of them to come up with the idea. However, it had not taken much for Thaddeus to foil their plan. Mona let out a relieved smile. She thought that Thaddeus would be furious at the look of the pictures and had prepared herself to give a long explanation. She was surprised that Thaddeus quickly saw through the attempt to drive them apart. Their relationship was solid, and no one could come between them. Mona thought to herself with glee when she took

Mona stood in front of Thaddeus, blocking his face as she confronted the paparazzi who took their picture. โHand over the camera!โ โThereโs nothing in the camera. Besides, itโs my personal property. Why should I give it to you?โ โYou clearly took a picture of my husband. You have some nerve to say thereโs nothing.โ Mona grabbed the man by the wrist and lifted her foot to kick. Thaddeus grabbed her wrist to stop her. โYouโre pregnant. Think about the child.โ Thaddeus pulled Mona back, leaving himself exposed to the paparazzi. โWhy do you want to photograph me? Do you want to see me in a wheelchair? Take a picture then.โ Thaddeus pulled a straight face. His nonchalant gaze spoke of intimidation. Dumbstruck, the paparazzi looked at Thaddeusโ legs and smiled dryly. โWhat happened to your legs, Mr. Fontaine?โ Thaddeus did not answer. However, his dark eyes flicked chillingly as he looked murderously at the paparazzi. Even in a wheelchair, Thaddeus did not have to say anythi

With the help of the two caretakers, Thaddeus sat in the wheelchair. He had overcome his emotions and pulled himself together. His mind was clear as he sorted out what he should do next. Thaddeus called the assistant into the room and laid out the following plan. โI wonโt attend any media interviews before the election, but I wonโt disappear from the public eye either. I donโt want to give the press something to talk about. My wife will represent me. Going forward, whatever she says or does will be considered my own. She has the authority to attend all corporate conferences, big or small.โ Mona dropped her jaw in shock. She was to attend company meetings and speak on his behalf. It was trying to make the impossible happen. On second thought, Thaddeus must have his reasons to do so. She had the confidence to do a good job anyway. The assistant took note of everything Thaddeus said. The Fontaine Group was about to choose its next leader, and with Thaddeus still in recovery, the

โItโs okay. Thatโs normal after surgery. The doctor gave me a heads-up. Since itโs a brain operation, you might have damage to the motor nerve. With the help of physiotherapy, youโll be back to running in no time.โ Mona consoled Thaddeus. Thaddeus lifted his hands and gave Mona a gentle push. โLeave.โ Mona froze. She looked at the man who was fine a second ago, not knowing what to do. โCan you leave? I need some time alone,โ Fixing his gaze on Mona, Thaddeus spoke callously. โOkay. Iโll be right outside if you need me.โ It dawned on Mona why the man was persistent in driving her away. He did not want her to see him at his worst. In a way, he was trying to protect his pride and dignity as a man. However, they were a married couple. Mona would never turn her back on him. Mona could understand the manโs vulnerability and his feelings at the moment. Hence, she said nothing and quietly left the ward to give Thaddeus the time and space to sort his emotions. Instead of doing n
