Heather had thought of many horrible possibilities. She was worried that Craig had gotten into an accident, or someone had kidnapped him…She didn't expect that Craig would go home to get married!The woman Craig had married was a young lady from a family on par with his. The host was using a lot of flowery words to describe the envy-inducing and luxurious union of the match made in heaven.Heather's mind turned blank. She looked at the man on the screen for a moment. Then, she walked out of the hospital without turning back.They had dated for two years. Craig was usually very frugal, and he would even go to the library to work and study. Heather always thought that he came from a poor family!Her boyfriend had suddenly turned into a son from a rich family, and he had even married someone else. Heather never thought that an outrageous thing like this would ever happen to her!She felt a little ridiculous and pathetic. For two entire years, other than Craig's name, everything she
Caleb had slowed down when he spotted Heather earlier on. Now that Tyrone got him to trail after her, he immediately sped up and changed lanes to head in the direction that Heather was heading.As Tyrone gave no instruction to invite Heather into the car, Caleb simply trailed after her a safe distance away.Since Heather did not turn around, she was oblivious to the fact that there was a car following her. Her mind was a mess, and she felt a vast emptiness within. She simply walked aimlessly ahead without knowing where she should go. "Where's Ms. Sutton headed?" Caleb asked curiously. Tyrone frowned as he watched Heather from inside the car. Something seemed off about her!Just then, the loud blaring of a car horn pierced through the silence of the night, and she noticed a blinding flash of light directed straight at her. Heather stopped and turned around in a daze. The light blinded her and forced her to close her eyes. A short distance away, a truck barrelled right at her. T
How could it be him? It wasn't Craig; there was no Superman. The person who had saved her was Tyrone!Tyrone's gaze darkened. That further intensified the chilling air that emanated from him. He seemed to bear a murderous intent. As Heather kept quiet, he couldn't be sure how severe her injuries were. Hence, he carried her up bridal-style and strode over to the Maybach that was left stalling by the roadside. Over with Caleb, Tate finally scrambled back to his feet and challenged him arrogantly, "How dare you poke your goddamn nose into my business? Do you have a death wish?"If you know what's best for you, give that woman back! If you don't do as you're told, you won't live to see the next sunrise!"Tyrone couldn't even be bothered to glance in his direction; it was as though he didn't hear a word Tate said. Shrouded in a dangerous air, he left all but two words when he walked past Caleb. "Incapacitate him.""Yes, Mr. Elkin."A cruel grin broke out on Caleb's face when his
"Mr Elkin…" Barbara's whiny voice rang out in the silence of dawn. Heather was shocked. She turned around swiftly and saw a beautiful young lady wearing a red dress making her way out of the car. With a smile on her face, Barbara took her time sashaying over to them. Heather was taken aback. It hadn't crossed her mind that there was someone else with Tyrone. She flushed crimson red at the thought of what she'd said just a while ago. She imagined that this was Tyrone's wife, but upon noticing the absence of a ring on her ring finger, Heather quickly came to realize that this was probably just a mistress of his."Mr. Elkin, this must be Ms. Sutton. She seems quite badly injured. We should send her to the hospital."Barbara walked up to Tyrone and looked at Heather with a smile. She tried to appear to be very caring toward Heather, but an inconspicuous hint of warning flashed in her eyes.She didn't manage to catch a glimpse of Heather's face while she had been in the car. Barbar
Heather didn't see that coming and was shocked by the sudden command. She lifted her head in a dazed state only to see Tyrone taking out a piece of tissue. He was about to wipe the blood off her forehead. Heather avoided his gaze and reflexively ducked away. Then, she said softly, "Mr. Elkin, I can do it myself."Barbara still had her eyes on them. It made Heather feel uncomfortable. Heather bit her lip to brace herself for the pain as she shifted her body. She was trying to scoot over to the seat beside Tyrone."Stay still!"Though Tyrone frowned as he reprimanded her, he did not release his hold on her. With a dark expression on his face, he wiped her wound with a piece of tissue. That resulted in a stinging pain. Heather couldn't help but let out a muffled groan as she drew her brows tightly together."It hurts?" Tyrone asked with a quirked brow. "Yeah."She was so badly injured. Of course, it hurt!"You deserve it!"Heather kept silent. "Is there something wrong with
Heather thought long and hard about it, but she eventually came up with nothing. All that she got out of it was a dizzy spell that further intensified the more she thought about it. In the end, she decided to stop thinking about it. "Ms. Sutton, here's your patient gown. You'll feel more comfortable after changing into it." Mia Bennett, the nurse in charge of tending to Heather, gave her a set of loose-fitting clothes. Then, she continued with a smile, "Do you need my help?"Heather noticed that everyone here was trying to please her. She figured that it was most likely due to Tyrone's influence."No, thank you. I can change into it myself." Heather politely turned down Mia's offer to help. She wasn't used to having someone change her clothes for her. "Sure. Just call me if you need me!""Okay."…After Mia left, Heather lay on the bed for some time while waiting for the dizziness to wear off. Then, she got up and took off her soiled T-shirt. She was ready to change into t
Was he tired? Tyrone didn't exactly feel tired just because he had to deal with those people and watch Barbara do everything in her capacity to attempt to seduce and please him. He was used to all that. But somehow, looking at Heather's clear, pristine eyes, he suddenly felt weary. He narrowed his eyes. Then, he suddenly reached out, grabbed Heather's wrist, and pulled her into his embrace. He avoided touching any of her wounds, so as not to cause her any pain. As Tyrone lay down on the bed, his muscular arms tightened around Heather's waist possessively. "I guess I'm a little exhausted. Rest with me."The bed in the VIP ward was a double bed, so it was spacious even with both of them in it. As Heather lay in Tyrone's embrace, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes as she listened to the powerful beating of his heart. Her head was pressed to his chest. Tyrone had returned, and he was hugging her like this. Did this mean that he had agreed to take her up on the deal?"I'll
As Heather was starting to feel warm, she shifted her body away slightly. She was trying to put some space between them.Just then, a nauseous feeling hit her. She quickly covered her mouth with one hand and removed the blanket covering her body with the other. However, as Tyrone had his arms tightly around her, it seemed like she was trying to rub her body against his. That caused his stomach to tighten, and he opened his eyes with a frown. He stared at her dangerously and asked, "Ms. Sutton, are you really that hungry for me?"If she continued to squirm around him like that, he couldn't guarantee that he'd be able to hold back. It was true that he didn't intend to take her tonight; but if she insisted, he wouldn't mind obliging her.At that point, Heather was already feeling extremely uncomfortable. So, with her brows furrowed, she said, "Mr. Elkin, I… I feel like throwing up."…Over in the washroom, Heather grabbed the side of the toilet as she heaved over and over again.
