Tamara saw the dangerous glint behind Sebastian's smile and immediately chirped, "No, I'll think about it. I'll let you know when I come to a decision."The smile on Sebastian's face deepened. He waved the waiter over to give their orders.Tamara got up from her seat. "Excuse me while I use the washroom.""Okay," nodded Sebastian.Tamara headed for the washroom. There was one inside the restaurant, so she didn't have to leave. After relieving herself, Tamara touched up on her makeup in front of the mirror.Unperturbed by the sudden appearance of someone from the men's washroom, Tamara continued with her task, placing her makeup back into her bag, seemingly unaffected. She readied herself to depart without acknowledging the passerby.But that person suddenly blocked her off."Hello…I never expect to run into you here," sounded a familiar voice. Tamara's brows knitted together at the voice. She turned around and saw a charming man smiling at her.Tamara stared at the man. "And yo
When Tamara returned to her seat, she noticed that the food had already been served. "They're fast," she remarked, impressed by the efficient service.Sebastian chuckled. "No. You just took a long time."Tamara rolled her eyes.She muttered silently to herself, "Fine."She decided to be the bigger person this time and let it slide.Besides, it was true that she was gone longer than usual. Randy had taken up some of her time.Tamara felt nothing toward Randy, so she didn't think much about their interaction.She dug into her food like a hungry wolf. In the face of delicious food, Tamara's negative emotions disappeared without a trace.Sebastian mused, "So it's true. The quickest way to cheer a girl up is through shopping and food."With gentle precision, Sebastian skillfully peeled the prawns for Tamara. Seeing the contentment and satisfaction on her face as she relished each bite, he felt his mood lifting too. "Where do you want to go later?" asked Sebastian.Tamara shook h
"You and Mr. Custry make such a happy couple." After saying that, the beautician sat down and prepared her tools.Tamara smiled but said nothing.Silence filled the room. Only the sound of water flowing could be heard.Tamara relaxed against the bed. Sleep slowly crept up to Tamara, and with a soft flutter of her eyelids, she succumbed to its peaceful arrival.When the beautician noticed this, she got up to light up some candles. The room instantly became imbued with a faint fragrance.However, Tamara's eyes immediately sprang open when she took a whiff of the scent. Her eyes turned cold as she turned to the beautician.The beautician froze. "Mrs. Custry. Weren't you…weren't you about to sleep?"Tamara took note of how anxious the beautician was. It didn't seem like she was shocked by Tamara's waking up. If anything, she seemed more like a thief caught in the act.Tamara narrowed her eyes and laughed suddenly. "What candles did you use?"The beautician hesitated to reply. "It'
Tamara had put on a bathrobe. When she saw Sebastian walking in, she grinned sadistically. "Let's play a game, Sebastian."Sebastian cocked an eyebrow. "What game?""A game of cat and mouse."…After half an hour, there was a knock on the door.The beautician's body went rigid. She glanced at the other two people in the room before walking over to open the door."Is she really out cold?" asked the man.The beautician couldn't bring herself to look at the man. "Yes.""You did well." The man grinned and then handed something to the woman. "This is your reward. You have helped Mr. Wecker tremendously. Surely, he would repay you handsomely."The beautician took the item from him carefully and left the room.The man called over his shoulder, "Come here."Two bodyguards immediately came in. They closed the door behind them as if they wanted to keep this under wrap.After walking through the door, they had to turn the corner before arriving at the main room.The man brought the t
The man was not about to risk his life for some business projects!He needed to ensure both his and his family's safety!"Randy Wecker?" Sebastian repeated the name slowly, only to find out the name didn't ring a bell.Tamara, who was sitting on the bed, hummed. She vaguely remembered hearing the name somewhere. Tamara thought long and hard about it and finally remembered who the name belonged to. It was the man she met at the restaurant earlier!She thought to herself, "Randy Wecker…So it was him."Tamara's eyes narrowed dangerously as she stated, "I know who he is. He lives near our place. I even ran into him a few times."Sebastian turned to her. "Was he bothering you?"Tamara shook her head. "No, but that doesn't mean he won't in the future. I mean, look at this mess. He was planning to kidnap me."Sebastian stepped away from the man and glared down at him. "Give me every information you have on Randy."The man immediately scrambled to get up from the floor. "Right away, M
Meanwhile, at Sambia Hotel, Room 909.Randy was pacing around in his room anxiously. Tamara's beautiful face kept flashing across his mind, and his palms started sweating from nervousness. Randy suddenly frowned, wondering if he could truly rely on that guy. Tamara was wed to Custry Corportion's president. How was that guy planning to get Tamara over?Although doubt had taken root in his heart, Randy still waited eagerly.Just then, there was a knock on the door.Randy's eyes lit up, and he swallowed hard. He couldn't believe that the man had actually succeeded in bringing her here.Randy swore he would repay that guy greatly for this.Randy smoothed over his clothes before walking towards the door. He slowly reached for the doorknob.Randy's breathing quickened as he thought about finally having that god-like beauty all to himself. He took a deep breath, closing his eyes momentarily to gather his composure before throwing the door open. Just as he was about to speak, a gr
"What are you planning, Tammy?" Sebastian grabbed Tamara's waist and rested his forehead against hers. The two were only inches apart from each other.Tamara smiled brightly. "You have to let me go first."Sebastian caught her lips with his. "Let's ignore that for now. I want my reward."Sebastian bit Tamara's lips lightly and groaned against her.Tamara felt her body going limp, and she slumped against the man.Sebastian was very thorough with his reward. Tamara was left breathless from it.After a while, Sebastian finally let her go. He took a step back. "Go on."Tamara pouted and wrapped her arms around him. "How am I supposed to just move on…"Sebastian cocked a brow at this. His warm hands brushed against Tamara's back, and he whispered, "Hm? Didn't you say you have something you wanted to do? Why aren't you getting to it now?"Tamara glared at him. After hanging onto Sebastian for a little longer, Tamara found the strength to push him away. She swiftly entered the room.
"Sebastian! Where are you touching me?" hissed Tamara."You…stop it…" Her brows furrowed."Sebastian! That's cheating!" Tamara was getting annoyed by the second. But to Sebastian, she sounded like she was whining more than anything.Sebastian continued with his actions. He stated calmly, "I'm just giving you a massage. How could you call it a massage if I don't take care of every inch of you?"Tamara's face was as red as a tomato. She wanted to turn around, but the man pushed her further into the mattress. She was stuck."Wait…Sebastian, you jerk!" whined Tamara weakly.Sebastian's breath quickened. He leaned down and blew against her ears. "Do you admit defeat?""Not a chance!" Tamara gritted her teeth. She closed her eyes and tensed her entire body.Sebastian was amused at her act of defiance. He chuckled, "Our dear Tammy sure is resilient. I wonder if I should go harder?"Tamara gasped and bit her lips.But Sebastian had other plans. He reached down to force her lips apart
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
