The night remained the same, in front of an abandoned warehouse, several identical black vehicles were parked in front.
Karsyn watched as Britney was carried into the car by Manuel, wanting to call out her name and ask about her condition, but ultimately couldn't speak up.
Just feeling that Britney and Manuel needed some alone time together.
Just as Manuel found out where Britney was, the chilling aura emanating from his body frightened her.
He drove the car himself, with her also in the car. The whole car was like a bullet without its shell, swiftly passing through every street. It left other cars far behind, and even she sitting in the car almost couldn't bear it.
Upon arriving at their destination, Manuel insisted on finding a ventilation opening first, in order to prevent anyone inside from harming Britney. He stood at the entrance, blocking them from entering, as he wanted to go in alone... to face the unknown situation inside by himself.
The black car got off the overpass, made a turn, and stopped at Platinum Hotel.Manuel picked up the child in his arms, and Britney, upon seeing the dazzling lights, nestled into Manuel's embrace.She, as she is now, indeed cannot be seen by anyone...Feeling the person in his arms, Manuel rubbed against his own body and raised his lips with satisfaction.It was around 2 o'clock in the morning, and there were hardly any people outside. There were only six beautifully dressed receptionists, all wearing the same uniform. They were ready to warmly welcome anyone who came in, but their enthusiasm was stopped by Bryant, who entered right after.Six beauties recognized that the person who had just passed by in a flash was the son of Platinum's boss. Each of them had stars in their eyes and whispered to each other...Later, Britney learned that Manuel had been staying here every time he came back. His mansion, the reason for their marriage, was bei
Oh my goodness... So Manuel was actually flirted with when they were children!How did she not realize she had this skill, it's so captivating!Britney had a feeling of mixed emotions, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry.However, she was only five years old, and Manuel looked like he was only thirteen years old, so... he was really quite young to be falling in love!"Um... I'm done here!" Cortez packed up the medicine, not wanting to disturb the two people. But then again, he was a competent doctor after all!Manuel was pulled back from his memories, stood up, and took the medicine that Cortez handed to him."Her wounds on her hands are fine, especially the one on her ankle, which needs extra attention. This medicine is to be taken orally, three times a day, after meals... However, tonight she is likely to develop a fever, so please keep a close eye on her. It would be best if... you stay by her side. If she does develop a fever, give
"..."Okay! She no longer explained.With Conrad, the incident happened three days before our wedding, resulting in a cancellation of the marriage. With Manuel, the incident happened one week before our wedding, causing a postponement of the wedding date.Why does her marriage always end up in trouble?Now, it has become like she hates getting married!"Wait a moment, I will go out for a while, Karsyn will come to take care of you," Manuel said to Britney lying on the bed as he headed towards the door."Good!"Britney vaguely knew what Manuel was going to do, and she didn't say much either.If something has been done, then there must be a price to pay.She didn't know how Manuel was going to punish them, and if he didn't say anything, she would pretend not to know.Karsyn felt like she hadn't slept for long when she was awakened by a ringing sound. Thinking of declining the call and shutting off her phone, she loo
In a separate enclosed room, there were a man and a woman locked inside.The man trembled incessantly due to fear, while the woman stared blankly at the ceiling.Sergio didn't know how he managed to get through that night. He was all set for a good time, but little did he know that he would be stopped. Instead of things going well, he almost lost his life.I used to be a proud eldest sibling!He still doesn't know whose hands he fell into until now.What will I face, being locked up here...Nylah, a woman, told herself that all she promised herself was a large sum of wealth to help her play the role of a wealthy young lady!At that moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside."Squeak..."The sound of the door opening pierced Sergio's inner panic.Manuel was wearing a long black overcoat, with his sturdy and powerful legs encased in crane-colored mid-calf boots. With each step, a faint sound of foots
A nearly hoarse voice, spoke of its love for him over the years!Love can make a person confident, but at the same time, love can drive a person crazy.Nylah belonged to the latter, she loved Manuel with all her heart, but Manuel disregarded her love, even though they had a child together, how could he be so heartless?Nylah didn't understand...And Manuel also didn't understand, does loving someone mean destroying the person he loves?"Do you know? When those people were playing with me, do you know what I was thinking? My mind was filled with thoughts of you!"However, Manuel wondered if Britney, when she was alone facing them at that time, would be thinking about him. Hoping that he would come to save her...At this thought, Manuel's face immediately darkened. "Nylah, I have told you before, it is impossible between us!""Why can Britney be with you again? What do I lack compared to her?" Nylah leaned against the wall, havin
In fact, Manuel always felt that it was his responsibility in this matter. If he hadn't been solely focused on completing the task at that time, the subsequent events would not have occurred.After all, the first time with a girl is so precious.So for a long period of time, Manuel was very understanding towards Nylah. He even happily told her that she was pregnant! It was their child together...He did not deny it either.Because in Nylah's mind, she had never been physically intimate with someone of the opposite sex, except for that one time during a mission when circumstances forced her to share a room with him. Although initially she slept on the bed while he slept on the floor... but in one night, so many things can happen... like Manuel couldn't resist and secretly climbed onto the bed...In the midst of Manuel's ambiguous silence, Nylah assumed that Manuel was caught and feeling shy.And so, Nylah became even more attached to Manuel t
Some things had long been blocked out of Britney's heart, so she simply didn't care anymore.Conrad was a hardworking student. He studied diligently every day and always completed his homework on time. He was very focused and determined to succeed in his studies. Conrad's teachers were impressed with his dedication and commitment to learning. He participated actively in class discussions and always asked insightful questions. Despite facing challenges, Conrad never gave up and always strived to improve. He achieved excellent grades in all his subjects and was recognized for his outstanding academic performance. Conrad's hard work and perseverance paid off, and he was accepted into his dream university.Manuel and Britney had a meal at the hotel. They had been busy all night, so we had porridge for breakfast. Smelling the aroma, Britney saw the delicious food and felt like she could swallow it in one bite.There was a kind of hindsight hunger.In the eveni
They stayed in the room for a while, and Britney changed into the clothes that Manuel had bought for her.Held by Manuel, Britney got into the car that Bryant had already been waiting for at the Platinum back door.Now is the time when the wind is blowing strong, so try to avoid it as much as possible!After all, the previous incident had not been reported to the Board of Directors yet! If the gossip media were to dig up something, they might just fabricate something out of thin air again.The Hammond couple arrived at the Hammond's house and were shocked to see Britney being carried to the door by Manuel.Britney explained that she accidentally fell and hurt her foot while playing outside. Luckily, she was wearing thick clothes in winter, so there were no visible abnormalities in her wrist.Manuel also said that he would come to pick up Britney every day and give her foot massages.With Manuel around, the Hammond couple felt somewhat
Skyler had fallen asleep, but her mind remained alert. After all, Raiden had left a psychological scar on her today.As soon as Raiden mentioned being hungry, she couldn't help but complain to herself. He hadn't felt hungry earlier, and now, suddenly, he was.But despite the resentment in her heart, she didn’t dare voice it. After all, he was the young master, and she was just a servant..."Should I heat it up for you?" Since this "ancestor" had called for her, it was clear he wouldn’t do it himself. And it was late, so the other family members had likely already gone to sleep.Sure enough, the young master kicked his feet and said, "Should I do it myself?" If he was going to do it himself, why bother calling her? The real reason was that he couldn’t sleep and, seeing her sleep soundly beside him, a psychological urge stirred within him.If he couldn’t sleep, neither should she. It was a kind of unhealthy mentality.He wanted to wake her up
Skyler finally had the chance to observe the entire room. The decor was simple yet refined.A large sky-blue bed, a desk with a desktop LCD computer, and some model decorations—all expensive just at a glance. It matched his unruly personality well. However, it was clear he didn’t come home often; everything here still looked brand new."Where are you sleeping? Why are you asking me?"Since his father let her move in, he must have arranged a place for her."Do you have an extra blanket? I’ll sleep on the floor."The bed was big enough for two people, and she had slept with him before—otherwise, how would she have gotten pregnant? But at this moment, she didn’t dare sleep with him. She hadn’t forgotten the way he had looked downstairs, as if he wanted to devour her alive.She didn’t dare provoke him again, afraid that if she shared a bed with him, she might not even know how she died.She knew t
"Do you think you've found yourself a backer now? Is that why you feel so important?"Raiden’s tone was full of sarcasm.He looked exactly like a little kid afraid of losing his father's love.It’s often said that women mature faster than men, and Skyler was one of those women. She could see exactly what Raiden was upset about, and a smile tugged at her lips."No, Mr.Calderon! My biggest backer is you," Skyler admitted her mistake.Like hell he’d believe that! The innocence she had before was completely gone now.Raiden let out a cold snort and sneered, "Skyler, I didn't expect your appetite to be this big. First, you took my house, and now, in the blink of an eye, you've managed to squeeze a fortune out of my dad. Did your brain suddenly become enlightened? You’re making money at an impressive speed!""Mr.Calderon, I did go back on my word in this matter. I’m sorry! Here’s the key to the house you
Every parent, when talking about their child, always wears the kindest smile. Frankie was no exception. And when he thought about the fact that he would soon become a grandfather, his mood improved even more.Feeling good, he couldn’t help but chat a little more with Skyler.As Frankie flipped through old photos of Raiden’s childhood and talked about his younger days, Skyler truly saw how adorable he had been as a child.Uncle Calderon wasn’t lying—Mr.Calderon had been handsome since he was little.Big eyes, double eyelids, a high nose bridge, rosy lips, pearly white teeth, and fair skin—all combined with that charmingly arrogant expression…Skyler subconsciously placed her hand on her belly, wondering if the baby inside would be just as good-looking. If it were a girl and took after Mr.Calderon, she certainly wouldn’t be unattractive."Master, dinner is ready!" a servant came forward and announced.
"She should take a good look at herself! She doesn't want to marry me?" Raiden shouted.Who did she think she was? And who was he? Since when did a woman have the right to reject him?Since he was old enough to understand things, he had been surrounded by countless women, all vying for his attention. Which woman didn't want to marry him?Raiden sneered internally. This woman was definitely playing hard to get in front of his father, trying to win his favor so that he would pressure him into marrying her.I didn't see this coming.Skyler, so you dare play tricks on me!Skyler shivered slightly under Raiden’s sharp gaze. Was it a crime now to not want to marry him?Frankie stepped forward and kicked his own son. "And you should take a good look at yourself!"That kick wasn’t light. Raiden gasped in pain and quickly pulled his leg back to clutch it.Damn it!He was almost thirty, yet his old man still kicked him with
When Raiden walked in, he actually found that woman in his house!Without a word, he rushed up to her, grabbed her wrist, and started dragging her outside with large strides."Mr.Calderon, what are you doing?" Caught off guard by his strength, Skyler’s wrist throbbed in pain as she frowned and couldn't help but cry out."Don't ask, just come with me!"As soon as Raiden received a call from the person he had arranged to take Skyler to the hospital, he rushed back immediately.He had sent her to get an abortion, and she was already on the operating table—yet somehow, the old trickster in his family had intercepted her! Just thinking about how the plan was almost completed but was suddenly interrupted made him incredibly frustrated.How could he not know what that old fox was scheming?For the past few years, every time he returned home, the old man would pester him about marriage. Eventually, he got so fed up that he outrigh
Frankie was setting up Skyler, but unfortunately, she was too young and inexperienced to realize it. She had never encountered such schemes before, let alone faced an old fox like Frankie.At first, Skyler had no idea who had decided against her abortion. It wasn’t until she had spoken with Frankie for a while that she finally understood—it was the old master himself who wanted to keep his grandchild.She had already promised Raiden that she would terminate the pregnancy, and she had struggled internally for a long time. But in the end, her heart leaned toward keeping the child.“However, I have three conditions.”“Go ahead, go ahead…” Frankie was so delighted that she had agreed that he would have accepted a hundred conditions if necessary.“First, after the child is born, I want to be able to visit them whenever I wish. But you can rest assured—I will only be visiting the child and will have
Raiden’s Father...Hearing Frankie's words, Skyler couldn't help but look up. He wasn’t like what she had imagined. The middle-aged man in front of her was well-maintained, looking energetic and full of vitality. His smile was warm and friendly. There were indeed some resemblances between him and Raiden—he must have been quite a charming man in his younger years.Seeing her subtly relax, Frankie chuckled, “What do you think? Not quite what you imagined, right?”Having her thoughts seen through so easily, Skyler blushed, feeling slightly embarrassed. “It’s a bit different from what I expected,” she admitted.“Sit down and talk. I’m not used to looking up at people while speaking.” Frankie deliberately said this, knowing that otherwise, she wouldn’t sit down.Just as he had anticipated, Skyler realized that standing while talking to someone like this was somewhat impolite. Beside
Skyler looked at the cold, sterile operating table, her steps heavy as she walked over and lay down with the nurse’s help. Staring at her still-flat stomach, she silently whispered to the tiny life inside her, "Baby, I'm sorry."He had been so well-behaved. She had heard that during the first three months of pregnancy, morning sickness was common, sometimes severe enough to make one feel like the world was spinning. Yet, she hadn’t experienced any of that—she felt just like a normal person. She knew her baby must be a very obedient child.Unfortunately, she had no ability to keep him. If she forced his birth, he would only suffer alongside her.So, I’m sorry. It’s because I’m not brave enough…She had never intended to keep this child, but that didn’t mean she had no feelings for him. He was, after all, her own flesh and blood."Miss Oneal, we’re going to administer the anesthesia now. Try to r
