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
Tamara put on a scared look and wiggled away from him. “Please let me go. I can give you money! My husband is rich. We can give you whatever you want.”The man paused. He observed her silently, trying to see if she was lying.Tamara continued, “It’s true. My husband is rich. You must have heard of his business…”“Well then, tell me.” The man gave Tamara an amused look. He seemed to have fallen for it.Tamara swallowed as if she was trying to calm herself down. “The Custry Corporation.”The man thought his ears were playing tricks on him. “What did you say?”The man widened his eyes at Tamara. She didn’t look like she was lying.Tamara smiled and repeated, “The Custry Corporation. Have you never heard of it?”The man paused.“It’s alright. You’ll come to know him very well soon.” Tamara smirked dangerously. While she was distracting the man, she had already untied her restraints. Now that she knew who was the one who kidnapped her, there was no need to continue with the act.S
The gunshot went off once, twice, thrice. A car was speeding toward the place. When he heard the gunshots, Sebastian’s gaze darkened.Sebastian saw a few men running out in terror as soon as his car arrived at the place.“Get them!” ordered Sebastian.The cops rushed forward and apprehended the men.Sebastian rushed toward the house. He kicked down the door forcefully. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw the scene inside.“Sebastian!” whined a soft voice. Tamara rushed into Sebastian’s arms when she saw him.Sebastian caught her body. “Were you frightened?”“Yes! Very!” Tamara nodded firmly.Sebastian turned his gaze to the man lying in his own pool of blood. His eyes twitched.Sebastian’s racing heart finally calmed down. He closed his eyes.“I’m glad you’re okay, Tammy.” Sebastian hugged her tight. He wanted nothing more than to keep her in his pocket and bring her to safety.He still remembered how scared he was when he learned of Tamara’s disappearance.He thought
The lights in the hotel room were dimmed. It gave off a soft vibe as it shone down on the couple.Sebastian’s eyes softened. “How could I not worry about you, Tammy?”Tamara’s breath quickened, and her heart melted.Sebastian lowered his gaze and continued treating her wound. He continued, “I know you’re amazing. You can come up with scented tea leaves, know how to fight, know acupuncture, and so much more. Still, I’ll worry. I want to take care of you and protect you for the rest of my life.”Tamara’s nose prickled.Sebastian was putting some disinfectant on her leg. He was gentle but meticulous.Tamara was deeply moved by him.Who wouldn’t enjoy being taken care of?Tamara could sense Sebastian’s fear and helplessness, especially when they were at the house. She could tell from how forcefully he had kicked down the door.That was why she had rushed into his arms. In her own way, she was trying to comfort him.His emotions also rubbed off on her, and she found herself gettin
Tamara bit into her bread again. “I just think it’s getting a little boring.”Sebastian observed her and said, “No.”“What?” Tamara was taken aback. She wasn’t expecting such a swift rejection.Wasn’t he busy?He was replying to emails every single day, and he would sometimes hold meetings over the phone as well.Wouldn’t it be a good thing to end their honeymoon early?Sebastian put down his phone and sighed. “I never knew you were the considerate type.”Tamara turned pink. “I just wanted to give you a choice. Since you rejected the idea, let’s see the honeymoon to the end.”“Mhm. Let’s go through with the plan. I won’t agree to end our journey early.” Sebastian held Tamara’s hand. His gaze softened at her.Tamara took her hand back and got up. “I’m full. I’ll be in the courtyard if you need me. Clean this up!”Tamara exited the villa.Sebastian watched her retreating figure with a smile. However, his smile faded when his eyes landed on his phone.…The courtyard wasn’t b
