Jordan was in charge of the second challenge.He led them to the center of the courtyard. A few logs of different heights were purposefully set up vertically off the ground. A red ribbon was tied to the highest point of the tallest log.“You’ll pass this challenge if you can get the red ribbon,” sneered Jordan.Sebastian cocked his brow at Simon and Jeremiah. Jeremiah coughed lightly, “I’ll do it.”Sebastian nodded and said, “Go ahead.”Jordan muttered indifferently, “There will be no safety equipment around. Stay safe.”Jeremiah fought the urge to roll his eyes.Jordan thought to himself, “What the fuck is Jordan talking about? He wants me to stay safe even though there’s no safety equipment around? Jordan must be kidding me.”The tallest log seemed to be over 60 feet tall.If one were to fall from it, they would surely not be able to walk it off.Jeremiah suddenly regretted not volunteering himself for the first challenge.But it was too late for that.He carefully got on
The fourth challenge.All of Sebastian’s groomsmen had taken up a challenge.Sebastian had to go next.Jason grinned at Sebastian and said, “I’m not as cruel as the rest of my brothers. The challenge is an easy one. Heck! I wouldn’t even call it a challenge.”Sebastian cocked an eyebrow. “Are you saying you’ll let me off the hook this time?”“Of course not.” Jason waved his hand dismissively. “I have two papers here. One is a share transfer contract, while the other is your divorce papers. We’ll be handing over our precious princess to you today, and we hope you will treat her right. You have to promise you will love and cherish her and that no harm will come to her. If we ever find out you mistreated her, your marriage will be called off automatically, and all your properties and money will belong to her.”Jason paused before continuing. “Do you swear by it, Sebastian?”The crowd fell silent at Jason’s words.They all wondered if Sebastian would swear by it.He was putting ev
“Kiss for a minute! A minute!” The crowd’s cheers grew louder and rowdier. Tamara’s cheeks heated up. Even her ears were turning red.She wanted to push Sebastian away, but the man was reluctant. He mumbled against her lips, “We still have 50 seconds left.”Tamara fought the urge to roll her eyes.Soon, a minute passed. Tamara had a hard time catching her breath. The crowd laughed light-heartedly at her.Sebastian pulled Tamara into his arms and carried her bridal style. He narrowed his eyes dangerously at the crowd. “Laugh at me all you want but never laugh at my wife.”The audience fell silent, taken aback by the unexpected turn of events. However, they should have known better. That was always the case with these two!Sebastian had always been protective and possessive over Tamara.Sebastian carried Tamara downstairs and gently placed her into the car. The crowd also dispersed into their own vehicles. All of them only had one destination in mind—the wedding hall!In the ca
Hugo and Sandy were also clueless about what was happening. Sandy got up from her seat. “I’ll go and check up on them.”Hugo spoke up, “I’m sure everything’s fine. Something must be delaying them. Let’s give them another minute.”Cheryl and Jonathan had a dark look on their faces.The four Moore brothers were sitting behind their parents, and they also noticed that something was off. “I’ll go and check up on them.” Joseph stood up.“Me too,” said Jordan.The crowd was in a state of disarray. The guests whispered among themselves.“What’s happening?”“Where is the groom?”“Is the wedding still going on?”“Did the groom run away?”“Impossible. I heard the couple were very close.”“Then I have no idea what’s happening.”As the guests murmured amongst themselves, a cacophony of conversations filled the hall, creating a tense atmosphere. Even the host appeared to be in a state of disarray.Sandy returned soon enough. She didn’t look too good. She walked up to Jonathan and Che
“I do, Sebastian!”“I do!”“I do!”“I do!”“I do!”“I love you, Sebastian!”The woman on screen was as beautiful as a goddess. Looking intently into the camera as if she could see her beloved on the other side of the screen, her eyes were brilliantly radiant.She was declaring her love for him.For every proposal he gave out, she shouted and agreed to every single one of them.In the next second, the scene changed, and Sebastian’s handsome face appeared next to her. She leaned in to kiss him.“I love you, Sebastian,” declared Tamara, smiling. “I love you too,” declared Sebastian.The camera shook, and a line of words appeared on the screen. It read, “Thank you for all the blessings we have received. This wedding will surely remain unforgettable for us, and we hope it will be the same for all of you as well!”The crowd was silent.Someone spoke up hesitantly, “So…does that mean both the groom and the bride had ditched us?”Both the members of the Moore family and the Cus
At the start of their honeymoon, Sebastian and Tamara spent three days on their ship. There weren’t any chefs or bodyguards around. It was just the two of them.Tamara had spent most of her time in bed. When she woke up, Sebastian had prepared lunch for her. Tamara tried to force herself up from her bed, but her body was too sore. She glared at Sebastian. Still, she obediently ate whatever Sebastian fed her.“We can’t possibly spend the entire month like this. Hurry up and dock us. I want to have some fun,” whined Tamara in between bites.It was to be expected. The man was too wild. If this continued, Tamara felt like she would be spending the rest of her days in bed.Sebastian kissed her again. He mumbled hoarsely against her lips. “Where do you want to go?”Tamara’s mind grew hazy from the kiss. She pushed him away. “Let…let me go.”“Why?” Sebastian kissed her again.Tamara groaned.Why?He knew why!"Hmph…you…" Tamara struggled against him. However, Sebastian just casually
A day later.Tamara finally made her way out of the villa.When she walked past the pool, her cheeks heated up unconsciously. She couldn’t bring herself to look at it.It was so embarrassing!The water in the pool swallowed her heated body. She was like a boat that had lost its bearings, bobbing up and down, searching for a spot to anchor. Tamara stopped herself from going down memory lane. It was a little too inappropriate.Just then, a low chuckle sounded from behind her. The man’s husky voice floated into her ears. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”Tamara immediately headed for the door.Sebastian watched as Tamara scurried away. His gaze landed on the curves of her legs.She wore a short skirt that showed off her smooth and flawless skin. Sebastian’s gaze darkened.He suddenly regretted letting her out.Tamara wore a big sun hat that covered up most of her face, and with the sunglasses she had on, one could only see the lower half of her face.She made her way to t
Who could deny Sebastian what he had set his mind upon?The man rested his forehead against Tamara’s and chuckled lowly, “I’m surprised you’re shy about this.”Tamara’s face flushed even brighter. “Stop it, Sebastian. Please, let’s just go back.”Her voice was soft and pleading. Sebastian felt his heart melting at her voice.How could he hold back any longer?He kissed her again and successfully swallowed whatever words she had left.Lucky for them, the tree was big enough to shield them from public eyes.The temperature rose, and their breath mixed together. Tamara tilted her head up and moaned. In the next second, her eyes widened, and she shoved Sebastian away.“Wait…Wait!” cried Tamara in alarm.Sebastian observed her expression and looked up as well. He saw a green snake dangling a few feet away from them.The snake’s color blended well with the leaves on the tree. It was preparing to attack them!Sebastian’s face fell. He gently placed her back onto the ground to creat
The bed was also adorned in striking white. Margot's bridal gown gradually slipped off, and her hair spread out behind her on the bed. Her smooth skin shone beneath the dazzling light.Benjamin stared at her. "Margot, you have to spend the rest of your life making up for your lies.""Okay," Margot agreed without hesitation.The temperature in the room rose, and the night had just begun.It was as Tamara said. Because of their tragic past, the heavens decided to bless them in this life. They lived happily ever after from that day onward.Benjamin successfully inherited the Inkling Corporation. A year later, Margot gave birth to a daughter. She resembled Benjamin and was as beautiful as a doll.Their little girl grew up in a loving family, and the love between Margot and Benjamin only grew with time. They developed Nammu Bay, transforming it into a popular tourist destination.Another year passed, and Tamara and Sebastian got married. The wedding was almost identical to the one fr
The newlywed walked into the wedding hall hand in hand.The wedding hall was also well-decorated. Shane, Trevor, Jacob, and Alex sat in the front row.The host congratulated the couple, and after the couple exchanged rings, the crowd erupted in cheers. The wedding went past quickly. And when Margot was led to her bridal room, she was still very much in a daze.Because of Margot's condition, she had to leave early and let Benjamin deal with the guests alone.As time passed, Margot grew more and more anxious. But she didn't dare move a muscle. Benjamin had told her to keep the veil on and wait for him.Margot had never been this obedient before. But she had no choice. Disobeying wouldn't do. What if her husband ran away?Just then, the door opened. Margot's heart tightened, and she immediately went tense in anticipation.A faint stench of alcohol wafted over, and she saw his shoes from under the veil.He was standing before her but made no move to greet her.Margot couldn't help
When the others saw Benjamin standing still in a daze, they all asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why did he stop?""What is he thinking about?""Did he lose his mind because he was too excited to meet his bride?"Someone made a joke, and others burst into laughter.Downstairs, Sebastian exchanged looks with Tamara, who was upstairs. His gaze returned to Benjamin.The wedding had been going on smoothly. But it seemed that Benjamin's memories might be their biggest challenge.Now that Benjamin had recovered his memories, what would he do next?However, Benjamin quickly came back to his senses. He walked forward calmly until he reached the door. As his gaze swept over Tamara and Natasha, a small smile appeared on his face.Tamara piped up, "Mr. Inkling, Nat and I had planned to set up some challenges for you. However, considering the hardships you and Margot have gone through, those challenges seem trivial in front of you. So, I thought, why not give you a clear path that led
"Shit! Isn't that too ruthless?""Leave it to the four Moore brothers to pull this trick!""Stop standing around and start drinking!"Benjamin watched on without any change in expression. He turned to the last row of men and smiled. "I'll leave the first round to you."Those men were all eager to try. They rolled up their sleeves and loosened their ties, their eyes gleaming with excitement.Benjamin made room for them, and they eagerly stepped forward. They picked up the glasses and downed them in one gulp."Let's go!" The cheers that erupted motivated them further. But despite their fierce drinking, they were no match for the abundant alcohol. When they looked up, they found that they were only halfway through. Some of them were already feeling tipsy!Sunlight spilled onto the drinks. A gentle breeze caused ripples on the liquid, resembling scattered stars.The men noticed the entrance was within arm's reach, and they gritted their teeth to endure the torture.Harris was th
The morning sunlight bathed the earth, casting a brilliant glow on every corner of Simmons Residence. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles. In the room, the styling team was already in position. They first helped Margot into the wedding gown and began styling her hair.Although Margot never decided on her bridal makeup, she did try each style. To surprise her, Benjamin accompanied her to try out the bridal makeup but kept the final choice from her.Now, dressed in the beautiful wedding gown, Margot remembered the makeup styles she had tried before, and a smile graced her face. Tamara and Natasha also changed into their bridesmaid dresses. The makeup artist was working on them when Alex walked in with a gentle smile. "Have you done your preparation for the challenges?"Tamara gave a thumbs up. "Don't worry, Mom. I won't let them take your daughter away easily."Alex giggled. "That won't do. We have to see if Margot agrees."Margot immediately exclaimed, "I'm all in favor!"
"You're right!" Tamara exclaimed, and the three women chatted for a while before gradually falling asleep.In the Inkling Manor, lights were on, and a festive atmosphere filled every corner. Wealthy young men who knew Benjamin gathered there, celebrating the night.A few people sat on the couch by the pool. There were various drinks on the table. Jack picked up a bottle and praised, "This is a good wine. It's at least 30 years old! You're going all out, Mr. Inkling."Benjamin's face carried a contented smile. "It's my big day, so let's all have a good time together."Jack gave him a thumbs up. "You're very generous, Mr. Inkling."The others laughed along.Benjamin turned to Sebastian and suddenly smiled. "Why are you so calm? When we go over tomorrow, I wonder what challenges Tamara has for you."Sebastian calmly muttered, "She'll only cause trouble for you."Benjamin cocked an eyebrow. "You're quite confident. I can't wait to see you eat your words tomorrow."Sebastian shrugg
Margot responded, "Yes, but I believe he will recover his memory soon."Joseph chuckled. "It doesn't matter if he does recover his memory. He loves you either way."A sweet smile appeared on Margot's face.He was right. Benjamin loved her with or without his memories. Nothing could ever change that.Joseph gazed at Margot for a while before shifting his gaze away. He turned to the night sky outside. "It seems that tonight will be a special one."Margot looked at him. "Do you have any plans for the future, Joseph?"Joseph smiled. "I will work for Moore Corporation. After all, I'm the only one in our family who studied business."Margot's eyes flickered. Joseph's life was still the same as in her past life. He would still manage Moore Corporation while the other brothers shine in their respective fields."That's great! I'll have a powerful backer now. I can just mention your name if someone bullies me. As the cousin of the Moore Corporation's president, no one would dare lay thei
Margot reached out to touch the wedding gown, feeling the expensive fabric. Every stitch and thread carried Benjamin's love for her. She looked up at Tamara. "I'm scared, Tammy."Tamara seemed to know what she was afraid of and hugged her close. "Don't be. This is real. It's really happening.Tears welled up in Margot's eyes. Tamara understood her the best. She feared this was just a dream, an illusion she would wake up from. There was no rebirth, cat-and-mouse games, or Nammu Bay destruction. Everything was just a trick her mind had made up.After all this time, Margot finally felt fear.She held onto Tamara tightly. Even when tears streamed down, Margot didn't dare to blink, afraid that she would return to a cold room if she did, a world without him.Tamara gently stroked her back. "Hold me tight, Margot. I'm real. You've felt the wedding dress. That's real, too. Nothing is an illusion. It was all real."Margot finally calmed down. She suddenly felt embarrassed. "Sorry about
"I do! I do want to be your daughter," Margot hurriedly exclaimed. She looked flustered. "I was just a bit overwhelmed. I never expected this. Aunt Alex, I …"Tamara laughed. "Since you're now her daughter, why aren't you referring to her as your mom?"Margot felt even more embarrassed!She grew up in an orphanage and had little concept of parental love. Although she had fantasized about having a mother like Tamara's, it was just a dream. She didn't have a mother. That was why she felt close to Alex. With Alex officially adopting Margot as her daughter, Margot gained a mother from that point onward.Margot's eyes watered. No matter how hard she tried to hold it in, she couldn't stop the tears from falling.Seeing this, Alex quickly took out tissues to wipe them away. "Don't cry. You'll get wrinkles if you cry."But the comforting words only made it worse.Margot threw herself into Alex's arms.Alex comforted Margot patiently, her eyes also glossing over.However, Jacob fr
