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,
“You’re the one who rescued those afflicted with insomnia, aren’t you?” a voice bellowed from the crowd. Heads turned, and the assembled onlookers beheld Tamara and Sebastian perched atop the wall. Tamara and Sebastian’s gazes were icy and distant as they peered down upon the crowd.“Please save us!”“Save us!”“I might die if I don’t get sleep soon! Please!”Cries of help filled the air. The faces of the people were extremely haggard. They were looking at Tamara as if they were staring at their last strand of hope. Their eyes shone with hope.“Why should I save you?” Tamara asked coldly.The people were stunned. They were not expecting her to give such a cold response.“You’re the legendary tea barista. Only you can save us,” exclaimed someone.“And I have to save you just because of that? Do I even know you people? Do you know how much my scented tea leaves cost?” Tamara’s lips curved into a mocking smile.The people fell into complete chaos. “Aren’t you an angel?”“No,” Ta
“You!” The man couldn’t believe what Tamara had said to him. Consumed by anger, he yearned to scale the wall, but his lack of climbing skills hindered him. He couldn’t make it far. “You fucking bitch! You’re not an angel! You’re a witch! You will be damned!” roared the man.Tamara picked up a stone from the wall and threw it at the man’s face. The man cried out in pain and covered his face. Tamara glared at the man before turning to the others. “So, have all of you made up your minds?” The others looked at the man, who had now calmed down. He frowned, “Let’s go find the guards to bring them down. We’ll lock them up until they agree to treat us!” “Alright!” The others immediately agreed. Tamara fell silent.She exclaimed dramatically, “You’re shameless.” “We’re still better than you, fucking bitch!” The man glared at her fiercely, and something flashed across his eyes. Tamara twitched. She turned to Sebastian and said, “I’ve never met a more shameless person in my life
“Wait! Something’s wrong!” yelped Ewan. He was initially pacing around the room, pondering over something.Alice had been observing him closely. She wanted to know what her brother had to say about this, but Ewan just kept pacing around and around and around.“Can you please stop? I’m getting dizzy just by looking at you!” whined Alice in annoyance.Ewan suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned to Alice with gritted teeth. “We’ve been tricked!”“What are you talking about?” Alice gave her brother a puzzled expression. She thought Ewan was just confused because of his illness.Ewan suddenly laughed. But it was a sinister yet defeated laughter. “Sebastian and Tamara have set us up. They knew of our plan all along. That’s why they chose to leave the castle today. They knocked out the driver and cut off our contact with the driver. Then, they went to the town and learned about the research institute from those people.”“And most importantly, they have contact with the outside world!
“Hahaha!” Tamara burst out laughing when he saw the way he looked. However, she remembered that it was inappropriate for her to laugh like that in that situation, so she covered her mouth. She was laughing so hard that her eyes were scrunched up.Sebastian glanced at her, and then he held her hand. “Let’s leave this place.”After she was done laughing, Tamara said seriously, “Sebastian, you look better with dark hair. Promise me that you’ll never dye your hair, alright?” Sebastian looked at her with a faint smile. “But I think I look quite good like that.”Tamara was speechless.Her gaze seemed to be saying, “Are you serious? Are you sure there’s nothing wrong with your judgment? Have you thought of what you just said?”However, she did not voice out her thoughts. She just shot him a glance and said, “I forbid you to dye your hair.”She threatened him.Sebastian smiled and said, “Mm-hmm. Whatever you say.”He was still wearing a faint smile and challenging her a second ago. H
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
