One after another, people came to Tamara asking for her help. Tamara felt helpless. But seeing those people tortured by insomnia, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for them. Regardless of what Ewan did, these residents were innocent.Tamara pondered for a moment. She then looked at the crowd. “Queue up. I’ll follow all of you back so you can sleep at home.” If the crowd were treated here, soon, a large group of people would be lying on the street. The scene would be indescribably eerie.“Okay, we’ll listen to your every word.” The crowd nodded and looked at Tamara with anticipation. Tamara looked at the person standing in front of her. “Where is your home?”“It’s nearby.” The person pointed to a house not far away. “It’s over there.”“Let’s go then.” Tamara nodded and went with the person. A strange scent lingered in the air, and the person quickly fell asleep after inhaling it. They gave Tamara a grateful glance before closing their eyes.Tamara came out of the house and
Tamara was suddenly pulled into Sebastian’s arms. She stumbled over her foot. Thankfully, Sebastian was there to catch her. Tamara slumped against Sebastian.She looked at him in surprise. “Sebastian? I thought you left? Why are you here?”Tamara tried to break free from Sebastian’s embrace, but he only held her even tighter. His hot breath fanned across her neck. Tamara could feel his panicked breath.Sebastian’s hoarse voice sounded, “How could I leave without you?”Tamara’s heart swelled. She smiled helplessly, “Didn’t Alice say she would send you away before coming to get me? Since you’re still here, we won’t be able to leave that easily.”Sebastian couldn’t help but laugh. He placed his palm on her back. “Tammy, why are you so silly? How can I possibly leave you alone with how naive you are?”Tamara looked at him in confusion, “What are you talking about?”Sebastian let her go. He suddenly noticed how pale Tamara was. He furrowed his brows and picked her up with a frown. “H
Inside the castle.The castle looked incredibly beautiful and dreamy under the night lights. The lights were lit. From afar, it looked as if one had entered a sacred palace.Sebastian carried the already sleeping Tamara out of the car. Alice got down after them. She took a glance at Tamara and whispered, “It’s already late. You should go back to your room first. You can inform the maids if you’re hungry. They will take you to the dining room.”Upon discovering who Tamara truly was, Alice’s attitude toward her underwent a drastic shift. Despite this, Sebastian still chose to ignore her and wordlessly carried Tamara inside the castle.When they arrived at Tamara’s room, Sebastian put her on the soft bed and looked at her tired face. He took a seat by the bed.Alice suddenly piped up, “You should go back to your room, Mr. Custry.”Sebastian’s cold and sharp gaze suddenly fell on Alice. His powerful aura swept over her like a tidal wave. Alice paled. “I’ll sleep here,” demanded S
Ewan clenched his fists tightly and struggled to restrain the itchiness on his body. The veins on his forehead popped, making him look even more terrifying! Alice saw how much her brother was suffering and said in a softened tone, “Brother dearest, it’s meaningless for us to go at each other’s throat. Let’s stick to the plan. However, I feel that Sebastian is starting to suspect me. We need to dispel their suspicions as soon as possible.”Ewan closed his eyes abruptly and opened them again after a moment. His eyes were bloodshot. “Stick to the original plan. Tell them that only one person can leave. Let them decide for themselves.”“Okay.” Alice nodded and left Ewan’s room.Her face bore no semblance of innocence; it exhibited a chilling, cold expression.From the beginning, she had shown goodwill towards Tamara and begged the woman not to bring any harm to her or her family. This was all part of her plan with Ewan!The first thing they needed to do was dispel their suspicion.
Tamara looked like a cat enjoying a nice sunbathing. Sebastian observed her closely and felt the corners of his lips curl up into a tender and doting smile. “Are you full?”Tamara nodded, “Yes, I am full.”“Then it’s my turn,” Sebastian put down his fork and carried Tamara towards the bed.“Hey, wait, not now...” Tamara was startled. She looked at his fiery eyes and instantly understood what was happening. She struggled against him. “But I just finished eating...”“It’s a good time to exercise.” Sebastian gently kissed her forehead.Tamara was stunned. But as she recalled their recent incidents, she did remember not being able to finish the last time they were together. Tamara relaxed against her man.Night fell.The luxurious castle was brightly lit. Inside the room, the air was thick with the sounds of pleasure and longing. The two lovers intertwined with each other, their bodies ebbing and flowing like the tide against the shore.Moonlight filtered in, casting a faint silver
With a peculiar smile adorning her face, Tamara calmly uttered, seemingly eager to see what other lies Alice could come up with.Alice was startled by Tamara’s words. She quickly waved her hands. “That’s not it. I don’t have any other intentions. I just don’t want to take the risk. I apologize for my rudeness, Mrs. Custry. How about this? You can make any request of me, and I will try my best to fulfill them.”Alice looked extremely apologetic as she said this.Tamara looked at her in surprise. “Any request?”Alice was stunned. “As long as it is within my powers, I will fulfill them.”“Then take us out of here.” Tamara was blunt.Alice grew silent. She then muttered apologetically, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Custry. I can’t do that.”Tamara sneered, “You can’t even do such a simple task. What other request could you possibly fulfill? Don’t you think you’re being too hypocritical?”Alice’s face fell. “The only reason we can’t let you leave is that many people in the city still suffer from
Sebastian cocked a brow. “You want to investigate this?”Tamara turned to him. “I just think there’s something bigger at play here.”Sebastian waved her over. Tamara took a seat beside Sebastian and toyed with the flower in her hand.Sebastian sighed in defeat. “Once you set your mind on something, you will only be satisfied after you get it done.”Tamara giggled. “So, do you want to stay here with me?”Sebastian pinched her cheeks. “What do you think?”Tamara laughed and leaned her head against his shoulders. She gazed at the blue sky above. It was clear like water and stood watch over the island. The magnificent castle stood tall against it as if hiding some earth-shattering secrets. The couple stayed in the garden for a while longer before heading towards the castle gate. Suddenly, a guard blocked their way and asked where they were going. Tamara raised her brow. “Didn’t Alice say she wanted us to head to town? That’s exactly where we’re heading.” The guard paused befo
However, the driver did not lose consciousness. Instead, his eyes widened, and he just could not move his body.Tamara walked up to him, took the gun in his hand, and handed it to Sebastian. After that, she circled the driver and admired her work while nodding. “Not bad. Not bad. I’ve developed this scented tea very successfully.”Sebastian accepted the gun from her and immediately hid it behind his back. Then, he said, “Let’s go.”However, Tamara said, “What’s the hurry?”She crouched in front of the driver and looked at how terrified he looked. She then took her time to say, “Tell me, what exactly is your master up to?”The driver opened his mouth but said nothing.Tamara realized at that point that the scented tea’s effects appeared to be potent. It would not cause someone to lose consciousness. Instead, it numbed the victim’s nerves, resulting in a state of paralysis.Tamara was speechless and thought, “Alright, fine.”She stood up, looked at Sebastian, and said helplessly,
