Before this, Ewan only felt lust for Tamara.He liked Tamara’s looks and lusted for her body.However, after exchanging blows with Tamara, he grew interested in the woman.Not only did she have a nice figure, but she also had an interesting personality! A woman like this was hard to come by.His feelings for her were slowly changing.He didn’t just lust for her. He wanted to marry her!A beautiful, brave girl like Tamara needed a strong husband, and Ewan was the best candidate.That was why Ewan changed his mind.He gave Tamara one last confident look before leaving the room.Tamara was dumbfounded.She stared blankly at Ewan’s retreating figure.“What is wrong with him?” she wondered aloud, a mix of confusion and disbelief evident in her voice. “Me? Falling in love with him?” She scoffed, a bitter laugh escaping her lips. “What a joke!”Her heart belonged to Sebastian. She would never fall for anyone else.One thing was for certain—Ewan would not force himself upon her.
Even when Sebastian’s hands were bound, it did nothing to hide his domineering aura. He looked down at Alice and narrowed his eyes dangerously at her. “You really think you’re untouchable here, don’t you?”Alice stumbled back from his glare and felt shivers running down her spine.She got up from the ground and put on a brave act. “I am willing to meet your request, Mr. Custry. However, on one condition—you must give me your solemn promise to marry me!”She continued, “You must be my husband if you wish to order me around!”Sebastian snorted coldly, “So, you want to be my mistress.”Alice’s face fell. “I am not your mistress!”“You want to marry me despite me being a married man. What else could you possibly be?” huffed Sebastian bluntly.Alice gritted her teeth. “You’re pushing your luck, Mr. Custry. Since you wish to be so stubborn and ungrateful, I have made up my mind—I won’t agree to your demand!”With that, she spun around and stomped off.“Wait…” came the husky voice.
Alice giggled and returned to her room. She needed to prepare for the plan.…The next day.Tamara got her freedom back. The maids no longer stood guard in front of her room, and she could roam around the castle freely.That aroused Tamara’s suspicion. She stood in front of the door with no intention of walking out.Something big must be at play here.Why would Ewan and Alice allow Tamara to roam the castle and get familiar with its layout?Tamara made up her mind. She decided to stay in her room for now.The pair of siblings were shocked to hear the news.The idea that Tamara would pass up the opportunity, even though it was right in front of her, never occurred to them.That meant Ewan’s planned encounter with Tamara would be in vain.Alice’s brows knitted tightly together. “Our plan won’t work if she doesn’t leave her room. What should we do now?”Ewan fell into deep thought. After a moment of silence, he mumbled, “If she doesn’t want to come out, we just have to make he
Sebastian wanted to mask their conversation with this method. However, once his lips made contact with Tamara’s, he lost all self-control.His longing for Tamara flooded over him, and their bodies burned hotly for each other.Tamara responded to his kisses, allowing Sebastian to have his way with her.The temperature in the room rose.Meanwhile, inside the office, Alice listened intently to the sounds transmitted by the listening device. Initially, everything seemed ordinary, and Alice could clearly discern the couple’s conversation.She couldn’t understand the couple’s conversation due to the language barrier. Fortunately, Ewan had preemptively arranged for a translator to resolve this issue. The translator was diligently translating everything the couple was saying.However, the conversation soon took a turn.First, it was heavy breathing. Then it was the sound of wet lips smacking against each other.The siblings exchanged a look. They didn’t understand what was happening at
Sebastian chuckled lowly, “Fine.” Suddenly, loud bangs sounded from the door.Sebastian and Tamara exchanged looks of annoyance. They knew the siblings were here to ruin their fun.Sebastian was incredibly pissed. He got up and threw on some clothes before opening the door. He was met by a pair of angry siblings.Sebastian huffed bluntly, “What’s wrong? You don’t enjoy our little show?”Ewan snickered, “How can I enjoy the show if I’m not witnessing it live? What’s wrong? Not used to having a live audience?”His provocation couldn’t be made any clearer.While any other man might have been provoked to fury, Sebastian simply cast a cold glance at him, refusing to waste his emotions on Ewan. His commanding aura remained as strong and imposing as ever.Surprise flashed across Ewan’s eyes. He didn’t expect Sebastian to remain calm in the face of blatant provocation.Alice piped up, “You are my future husband, Mr. Custry. How could you sleep with another woman under my roof? I have
At the sparring room.It was a large area with a sizable ring in the middle that held a huge sandbag suspended inside. The guards were in the process of removing the sandbag from the ring.Ewan slipped out of his coat and turned to Sebastian. “Only a true man deserves a strong and smart woman like her. I don’t think you are the right fit for her. How about it? Are you up for the challenge?”A domineering aura surrounded Sebastian. He narrowed his eyes dangerously at Ewan. “It seems like you have a death wish. I don’t mind helping you out with it.”“Arrogant bastard!” Ewan returned with a glare of his own. He put on his boxing gloves.Sebastian mirrored his action. He was elegant but precise. One could clearly see the veins along his skin as he did so.The two men entered the ring and went to opposite corners.Sebastian had a dark look on his face. Before Ewan could get into a fighting stance, he rushed forward and sent his fist flying.His fist hit his mark.Ewan’s face snappe
A gun rested against Sebastian’s head.Sebastian abruptly ceased his movement, yet his intense, darkened gaze continued to bore into Ewan. If looks could kill, Ewan would have been dead by now.Ewan could finally draw a breath of relief. The guards promptly whisked him away after that. Judging by his heavily swollen face, one would never guess he had been a handsome man before the merciless beating.He was glaring at Sebastian with hate-filled eyes. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and immediately hissed from the pain, and inwardly muttered, “Fuck!”That man did not hold back!Had it not been for his guards, Ewan was sure he would be dead by now.“You must have a death wish, Sebastian,” growled Ewan after he caught his breath.Sebastian stood tall and proud. He slowly took off his boxing gloves and sent Ewan a sneer.No words were necessary; his sneer spoke volumes. Ewan’s anger surged at the mere sight of it.“I might as well sign off your death sentence now. I
Alice wanted to be with Sebastian, but she could see the bloodlust in the man’s gaze earlier.If he continued to stay here, it would surely not end well for her.She couldn’t possibly wait for Sebastian’s men to show up and kill off her entire family before finally realizing her mistake. She had to stop it now!Alice was not dumb when it came to love. She knew Sebastian didn’t like her.“I was in it for the money. But now, all I want is to ensure my family’s safety,” confessed Alice sincerely.Sebastian continued to stare coldly at her with not an ounce of emotion on his face. He spun and headed for Tamara’s room.“I’m afraid both of you will have to stay in separate rooms for now,” Alice interjected, blocking Sebastian’s path. “Once I’ve made the necessary preparations, I’ll ensure a safe departure for both of you.”Sebastian narrowed his eyes slightly. “Can you promise me her safety?”“Yes. Trust me.” Alice nodded with sincerity at Sebastian.Sebastian continued to stare at
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
