Heather headed back to Elkin Group. Images of her past with Craig played in her mind like frames from a film.

The moment they had been at the library.

The moment they had ridden in a hot-air balloon together.

The moment he had carried her to the hospital because she had been sick.

She felt suffocated when all the memories of what had happened in the past started playing in her mind. The memories' weight threatened to crush her heart.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a huge explosion.

The ground started to suddenly shake as people in the streets ran and screamed. Heather had even been bumped into a few times and almost fell.

At this time, her phone rang. It was Tyrone.

Heather was very upset and wasn't in the mood to pick up a call. She put it into silent mode and held it in her hand.

She was walking on the streets aimlessly. When she finally recomposed herself after a very long time, she had already reached the office.

The security guard at the entrance was making a call. His

    Heather bit her lip. "I was in a bad mood, so I didn't go to the bakery and went somewhere else instead.""Why didn't you pick up your call?" Tyrone roared, his expression especially terrifying.He'd called Heather a few times, and no one picked up. That was why he'd thought that she was in trouble.He couldn't describe the feeling he'd had when he'd seen the bakery ruins after the explosion. He'd wished that he could make all the bricks in front of him disappear and find her immediately. At the same time, he'd wished that she wasn't under the rubble.It was the first time that Tyrone had felt like his heart was going to stop in over 20 years he'd been alive."When I was editing the manuscript, I switched my phone to silent mode and didn't hear anyone calling me."Heather didn't realize that not picking up the call would have such serious repercussions. Of course, she wouldn't dare tell the truth."Are you stupid?" Tyrone said with a frown. "Heather, is there anything else that

    Heather's expression changed for a quick moment before she said in a weak tone, "How can it be bloating? I feel a lot of pain right now.""It hurts…" She bit her lips and frowned even deeper.It was as if her body was suffering from a lot of pain as she exposed her neck, making those who saw her have sympathy for her as she moaned.Tyrone's tone was getting even colder. "Does she look like she's fine? Diagnose her properly."Caleb almost laughed. It was his fault because he hadn't told Ken what to say. He faked a cough and gave him a hint, saying, "Dr. Waylon, why don't you give her a second look? Maybe you can find out something else?"He quickly gave Ken a signal. However, Tyrone's presence was too powerful, and Ken's legs were almost losing strength because of how Tyrone was staring at him. Hence, Ken didn't notice Caleb's hint and thought Tyrone was doubting his medical skills."Mr. Elkin, I'm sure that there's nothing wrong with Ms. Sutton's stomach. If you don't believe m

    Tyrone had finally seen right through Heather's fake illness, leaving her unable to maintain the facade.Feeling awkward, Heather tried to force a smile. "Tyrone...""That smile of yours is freaking ugly!" Tyrone fixed Heather with a cold, penetrating stare, easily seeing through her insincere demeanor.Heather's smile faltered, her lips freezing momentarily, before settling back into a neutral expression."Tyrone's the ugly one! In fact, he's the ugliest person in the world!" Heather seethed internally."Heather, how dare you deceive me like that? You've got some nerve, huh?" Tyrone admonished, his slender fingers tightening around Heather's chin as his gaze darkened.Recalling his earlier concern about Heather's fake stomachache, his anger intensified.How could Heather put on such a spectacle right in front of him?As Tyrone tightened his grip, Heather winced in pain. She pushed his hand away, rubbing her jaw. "You threatened to shut down the production; I had no other optio

    Heather's clear eyes shimmered with a glint of hope, radiant like stars in the night sky. As Tyrone stared at her, a sudden intuition struck him. Heather was ready to part ways with him.This feeling unsettled him deeply.As Tyrone pondered this, his gaze turned steely. With his slender fingers firmly grabbing Heather's chin, he looked into her eyes and asserted, "Heather, you can't leave me without my consent!"Heather couldn't ignore the possessiveness in his intense stare. Her eyes flickered as she lowered her thick lashes, murmuring, "I understand."Throughout their time together, Tyrone had made it clear that their relationship would only end when he grew tired of her.Heather was eager to leave, but she felt trapped under Tyrone's influence. If he refused to let her go, where else could she possibly escape?However, Tyrone remained oblivious to Heather's internal struggle. To him, her words conveyed a clear message—she would obediently stay by his side.Tyrone was please

    "I didn't mean it like that. Please, let me go," Heather said, her cheeks flushing.Tyrone narrowed his eyes and remained silent, his gaze piercing as he stared at her.They were alone in the bathroom—a situation that naturally led to suggestive thoughts.Tyrone had always found Heather's body irresistible, especially after her unintended teasing just moments ago. Regardless of her intentions, he now found himself contemplating intimacy.Tyrone's eyes burned with desire as he scrutinized her. Heather felt completely vulnerable, as though every part of her had been laid bare. Nervously biting her lip, she whispered, "I don't want to do this—"Before Heather could finish her sentence, Tyrone abruptly pulled her close, his right hand gripping the back of her neck firmly. Holding her head in place, he leaned in and bit her lips.Heather couldn't believe he had actually sunk his teeth into her. Tyrone's sharp canines lightly grazed her lip, his tongue tracing its contours as if relish

    "Where are you?" As Ivy activated the speakerphone, Tyrone's deep voice resonated through the car.Heather pursed her lips. "I've already left.""We haven't even had sex yet, so why did you run off?" Tyrone admonished her.Ivy shot Heather a teasing glance. What had these two been up to just now?Heather blushed furiously. "I'm in a friend's car. We're tied up at the moment, so I can't talk to you right now." Without further ado, Heather ended the call.Moments later, a text from Tyrone popped up. "When you get back, please learn how to satisfy me properly. If I'm not pleased tonight, I'll instruct Seth to cancel your project."Upon reading the message, Heather felt her cheeks grow warm.She couldn't believe Tyrone would resort to using her project as leverage.Noticing Heather absorbed in her phone, Ivy quickly snatched it away. As she read the message, her expression turned to one of surprise."Wow, you two really pushed the boundaries there! It looks like Mr. Elkin wants yo

    Heather was momentarily caught off guard. With a sheepish smile, she assured Ivy, "I won't fall in love with Tyrone."Deep down, she didn't need Ivy's reminder; she was well aware of the stark differences between herself and Tyrone.Ivy had characterized her relationship with Seth as transactional. Heather realized that her situation with Tyrone was essentially no different.Moreover, he was already married, and their relationship felt like a betrayal to Janine. Despite this, Heather had never considered vying with Janine for Tyrone's affection.In reality, she had been patiently awaiting the day Tyrone would grow weary of her."Are you absolutely sure you won't catch feelings for him?" Ivy asked, pausing momentarily before adding, "But Hattie, I do think he treats you very well."Heather's gaze shifted slightly, her voice steady yet resolute. "Tyrone has been incredibly supportive, and I appreciate his help. But rest assured, I won't fall in love with him."Seeing her earnest d

    Under the moonlit sky, the towering Elkin Group building exuded a remarkable grandeur. Tyrone emerged from its entrance, his cold, stern gaze projecting an icy demeanor that kept others at bay.The tails of his black suit jacket fluttered gently in the night breeze, emphasizing his commanding presence.A sleek black Rolls-Royce awaited nearby, and a bodyguard opened the car door as a gesture of respect.Tyrone sank into the car seat, weariness etched across his face from the series of meetings he had just endured. His slender fingers fidgeted with his tie, revealing a subtle restlessness.In the front seat, Caleb addressed him respectfully, saying, "Mr. Elkin, Ms. Seel returned from abroad this afternoon."Tyrone's hand paused momentarily on his tie. "Noted," he replied indifferently.Caleb glanced at him and continued, "She called to say she's back at the Seel residence. She would like to invite you for dinner tonight."The gifts for the Seel family are prepared—an abstract pai

    "You have the hair. You can leave now," Tyrone said as he started to drive both Greg and Hector away.He was feeling sorry for Heather for having to deal with this when she had just woken up and when she was still quite frail."Arrange a room opposite this ward for me," Greg ordered his bodyguard.When Tyrone heard what Greg was saying, he frowned and said coldly, "You're going to stay here?""There are so many reporters outside. Do you think it's suitable for me to leave in less than 20 minutes after I've just visited my girlfriend who has been admitted to the hospital?" Greg remarked casually.However, he kept on poking at Tyrone by referring to Heather as his girlfriend again and again.Tyrone's expression was extremely cold as he said, "You're really treating yourself as her boyfriend now, huh?""It doesn't matter if I want to be her boyfriend or not. Most importantly, the entire nation believes I'm her boyfriend.""Looks like you want me to get you some work.""Ha!" Greg

    Tyrone's eyes became a little colder as his arms around Heather's waist tightened.Greg scoffed at Tyrone's act of announcing his ownership and simply shot Heather a look. "Are you feeling any better?"He was here to visit a patient, so there was no need to get into a scuffle with an amiable person.Heather couldn't show Greg a sour expression, so she simply nodded. "Yeah."Greg let out a laugh. "You're so fortunate. Otherwise, you're going to die from some garbage's uselessness."He was inferring something else.Tyrone frowned and his attitude became even colder. "If you don't want me to throw you out, you should learn how to watch your tongue."Greg scoffed. "Which part of what I said was wrong?""Alright, now that Hattie's back, you two should stop fighting," Hector said. His gentle nature and charm easily make others have a good impression of him.He might be Heather's older cousin, so they had to show him some respect.Tyrone's eyes were cold as he bit his lips and said

    Tyrone's body stiffened and the atmosphere suddenly turned tense."Tyrone. He shielded me from an attack. I saw him get hurt. I just want to know how bad his injury is."Heather knew Tyrone didn't like her talking about Craig, but she was genuinely worried about Craig. Heather explained to Tyrone using a gentle voice and tugged at his clothing.There was some anxiety in her eyes. She was being very careful, worried that he might get angry.It was true that Tyrone was somewhat upset, but what else could he say when she was already having that kind of attitude?Tyrone stayed quiet for a while and said, "He's no longer in danger."Heather sighed in relief. "I want to see him."Heather knew Tyrone was going to get upset again if he found out she sneaked out to see Craig, so she might as well tell Tyrone now.Tyrone was silent for a few seconds before he coldly said, "You can see him when you're in a better condition."Heather wanted to go immediately. But she knew if she showed to

    Seth had already planned to go for a game of gold in the afternoon.Ivy didn't want to stay to become a third wheel, so after telling Heather to take good care of herself, she then left together with Seth.The ward instantly fell silent.Tyrone looked at Heather with dark eyes. "How do you feel? Do you still feel any pain?"Heather simply said, "I want to take a shower."She had sweated a lot after she recovered from her fever, and she wasn't feeling that comfortable from the sticky sweat.Tyrone's eyes darkened and didn't say anything. He pulled the blanket aside and picked her up, taking her to the washroom.The moment they were inside the washroom, Tyrone placed her on the toilet. He first filled the bathtub with hot water before turning around, wanting to remove her clothes."I can take a bath by myself. You should go out," Heather said as she held onto her outfit tightly, blushing.Tyrone raised his eyebrow. "How can you take a bath yourself when you're so weak? What if a

    When Heather opened her eyes once again, the first person she saw was Ivy."You're finally awake, Hattie! You're scaring me to death! Are you alright? Are you feeling any discomfort?"Ivy quickly held Heather's hand when she saw the latter opening her eyes. Then, she asked a string of questions.Heather's entire body was feeling numb and her head was spinning. "I feel weak. Is this the hospital? Why are you here?""I found out from Seth that you have been kidnapped and Mr. Elkin has been searching for you all the while," Ivy said nervously. "You've been having a fever for the past two days and you scared me. It is so fortunate that you turned out alright."She paused a little before saying angrily, "Selena must have gone crazy. She was trying to starve you to death. I know she's not a good person, but I didn't expect her to be so malevolent."You can't even call her a human anymore. She's been arrested, and it's over for her this time."Ivy still couldn't forget how she first sa

    Craig was too calm. Perhaps it was because he already knew how duplicitous Selena was.The gentle Selena was just an illusion he saw when they first met, and after he was charmed.That was why, despite feeling angry and shocked once finding out Selena's pregnancy was a lie, he didn't find it completely unbelievable.There was nervousness when Selena was looking at Craig, but it slowly turned into disappointment. Her lips curled into a bitter smile as she said, "You must be so happy when you heard I've faked my pregnancy. You think that you've finally gotten rid of this burden, haven't you?"Craig… Do you know how much I wanted to have a child with you? But you don't look forward to having a child with me at all!"Then let me tell you one more thing. Nothing happened between us that night at the hotel. I've always been lying to you."Aren't you even happier when you hear this news? She spends every waking moment with Tyrone, but you're still keeping your virginity for her… Do yo

    Light reflected from the sharp blade."Hattie!" Tyrone yelled loudly.Selena was already right in front of Heather in the blink of an eye, wearing a twisted expression on her face as she held the dagger in her hand.Suddenly, Craig appeared right in front of Heather. He protected Heather, and the sharp blade sliced open a deep wound on his face.Craig grunted, and his towering figure shuddered.Heather looked at the figure standing right in front of her as she could only weakly shout out in shock, "Craig!"Why was he there?Craig was showing Heather his back as he raised his hand to cover his face, blood coming out from between his fingers and dripping on the ground as it flowed from the back of his hand."Don't worry, I'm fine."Craig glared at Selena coldly as he responded to Heather.Selena was completely stunned as she couldn't move her eyes away from Craig.Tyrone kicked Selena's bodyguard in the chest, and he fell to the ground, unconscious. It was at this time when Ca

    "But what did you do?"Selena's eyes were suddenly filled with savagery, as if she wanted to turn Heather into shreds. "We were fine when we went on our honeymoon, but everything changed the moment we met you!"Why wouldn't you leave? Why must you string him along? He was going to fall in love with me soon!"Heather, you ruined everything for me! It's you… It's all because of you!"Selena screamed in hysteria.She still believed that the root of all her issues was because Heather refused to leave.Heather never expected Craig and Selena to have such a deep history. "I've never wanted to steal Craig from you. You're the one that's being too suspicious."Selena kept staring at Heather. "It doesn't matter, because you're going to die today, anyway. Even if Craig won't ever love me, he can forget about being together with you!"Even if she couldn't get Craig, she wouldn't allow them to be together.All Selena cared about was revenge.Selena pulled out a dagger from her purse.

    Caleb moved very quickly. He had already found out that Selena had been keeping in touch with a number every day.The owner of that number was a bodyguard who worked for the Huntington. According to the GPS signal from the phone with this number, the phone had been staying in Suthurn Hills on the northern side of Royalton.At the same time, Caleb's phone started to ring. He picked it up and listened to his subordinate's reports. He frowned and said, "Sir, Selena had suddenly left the hospital. Her car is leaving the city.""If she really is leaving the city, is it possible that she's heading to Suthurn Hills? Maybe her bodyguard is keeping an eye on Heather?" Hector made an educated guess.In reality, Hector's guesses were all spot on."The mountains stretch across a wide area. We need to find a way to pinpoint the phone's exact location and then send out our men to search the area," Greg said.Tyrone said nothing as he pursed his lips. Suddenly, he walked in the direction of the
