Sebastian’s breathing grew heavy. He felt like his body was on fire.Tamara slowly stripped herself bare and leaned down…The only way to flush out the poison was by…working it off.Tamara was a little amused by the situation. She had been reluctant to fuck Sebastian after the many rounds they had gone through, yet here she was, willingly walking into the lion’s den.She mused, “Whatever. Saving Sebastian comes first.”The sun gradually descended below the horizon as the clock continued to tick. Tamara huffed and sighed, and her hair fluttered behind her.Sometime later.When Sebastian woke up, he thought he was being visited by a goddess.His breathing grew heavy, and he gripped the woman’s waist.Tamara paused. She wasn’t expecting him to wake up so soon. If it were anyone else, they would only regain consciousness after the poison was fully out of their system.She had to admit Sebastian’s physicality was something else!Sebastian’s gaze darkened, and he smirked deviously
Tamara sighed. “Only a little.”She turned to Sebastian and held his hand. “We’ve been separated for four years. Let’s make up for lost time during this month.”They were to condense four years to a month.Although cramming four years’ worth of time into a single month might seem impossible, it was enough for the couple.Sebastian pecked her forehead and hummed.Tamara snuggled against his chest and looked up at the stars. At this very moment, Tamara felt like the happiest woman alive.…The next day, the couple headed for their next destination.This time, they will be taking a flight there.They had planned to keep moving west for the next month. After a month was up, they would return to Clacton to start a new life.They quickly arrived in a developed city. They were staying in a real hotel this time. Sebastian had reserved them a suite.Just as they settled down, Tamara was eager to go out and explore the place.This city had a very different vibe than Clacton. Tamara f
“What are you looking at?” came Sebastian’s low voice. Tamara pouted at him. “How about my ice cream?”Sebastian gave her a doting smile. “Here you go.”He pulled out another ice cream from behind him.Tamara immediately snatched it from him and dug into it. It was delicious! The cold sensation on her tongue was perfect for combating the heat she was feeling from the sun.Sebastian took a seat beside her. He observed her smile. “Does it really taste that good?”“Yes!” Tamara nodded excitedly. “Do you want to have a taste?”“Sure,” grinned Sebastian.Tamara brought the ice cream closer to his mouth. However, Sebastian pushed her hand away and leaned in for a kiss instead.Tamara’s eyes widened in surprise at the invasion.Sebastian pulled away and smacked his lips. “You’re right. It tastes good.”Tamara gawked at him.Her cheeks heated up slightly, and she forced herself to focus on the ice cream.Her lover must have affected her because the ice cream tasted much sweeter t
Sebastian gave Alice an icy look as he stuffed the photo in his pocket.Alice paused and mumbled sadly, “Okay. All the best for your marriage.”“Thank you,” thanked Sebastian absent-mindedly.Tamara watched as Alice kept the rest of the photos and waited until she left before turning to Sebastian. “Let me have a look at that photo.”She had just briefly glanced at the picture earlier. She wanted to have a closer look.Sebastian shook his head. “Finish your food. I’ll give it to you when we go back.”Tamara huffed, “I’m full.”Sebastian cocked a brow. “Are you sure? According to your plan, we haven’t even gone shopping yet. The shopping mall here seems to have a wide selection of stores we could go to. Are you saying you have the strength to go through them?”Hearing this, Tamara obediently continued eating her food.The picture was in Sebastian’s hands anyway. It wasn’t going anywhere.After the meal, Tamara went on with her initial planning and went around the mall. The mall
Tamara forced her eyes open and hit Sebastian on the chest. “Stop messing around. I’m tired.”Sebastian pecked her forehead and put her into the bathtub. He started to clean her.Tamara relaxed against him. The massage was making her drowsy. Just when she was about to fall asleep, her breathing suddenly quickened.Tamara opened her eyes and saw Sebastian grinning down at her.He pulled away from her lips and carried her out of the bathtub. “Give me a minute. I have a missed call from Jeremiah. I need to call him back real quick.”Tamara pouted and hugged Sebastian tight. The man’s eyes darkened. “Be a good girl and wait for me, alright?” Sebastian gently peeled himself away from her. His breathing grew heavy.Tamara blinked up at him. “Are you sure you can make a call like this?”Sebastian narrowed his eyes at her.He knew the woman had some ulterior motive.Sebastian swallowed hard. “It’s just a phone call. It will be very brief.”Tamara suddenly took a step back. “Fine. G
This caught Tamara’s attention. She wanted to know badly.Jason wrote, “What happened?”Jordan replied, “I have no idea.”Joseph’s text wrote, “Sob…”Jayden merely sent a smiling emoji.Tamara stared at the screen blankly as she processed the conversation.It seemed like Joseph was the only one who knew what had happened, and Jayden seemed to be keeping his mouth in check.Tamara gave Joseph a call.“Haha…I knew you would call me. You have always been a busybody,” laughed Joseph.Tamara ignored him. “Spill the tea.”Joseph muttered slyly, “I have promised Jay I would keep this a secret. Of course, he is also keeping his end of the deal. You must give me a better offer if you’re truly curious.”“Then, forget it,” Tamara said, shrugging. “Since you made a promise to Jay about keeping this a secret, who am I to come between that? You have to keep your promises, Joseph.”Joseph was taken aback. “What?”This wasn’t how he had pictured it.He was merely teasing Tamara with his
Sebastian was done with his call. He expected Tamara to pout at him when he returned to the living room. He had even thought of ways to make it up to her.However, when he came out of the room, he noticed that the living room was empty. Tamara was nowhere in sight.“Tamara?” Sebastian had a bad feeling about this. He searched every room in the suite. Tamara was not in any of those rooms. As he approached the door, he spotted numerous bags strewn about in front of it, accompanied by a solitary shoe.Bags…Her shoe!The shoe belonged to Tamara, and the bags were filled with her purchases earlier that day.Sebastian immediately realized what was up. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and rushed out.Inside the security room, two guards were involved in some lame conversation. All of a sudden, the door was kicked down.“What are you doing?” The two guards jumped in surprise and pulled out their batons.However, they were no match for Sebastian. Sebastian made quick work of them. He
“Got it,” replied Sebastian coldly before he hung up.Jeremiah huffed.He had done what Sebastian had asked of him. Why couldn’t his brother tell him what was happening?…Sebastian made another call. Jerome was already lying in wait for his order. Once he got the call from Sebastian, he moved out.…At the same time, in some cars.Tamara woke up hazily. Darkness was all she could make out. It seemed like she was blindfolded.When her mind finally woke up, the memories from before rushed into her mind.She was drugged.Who did it?Why?This was the first time she and Sebastian were here. They could not have possibly offended anyone.Tamara’s mind was swarming with questions. She listened closely to her surroundings for any movement. Her hands were tied behind her back.Tamara touched the knot. It was a fairly simple one. It was easy to untie it. But she wanted to see where this was going.She needed to know who was the one who called the shot.The car continued on slo
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
