"A wedding? Are you insane? Camilla would never have a wedding with you after what you've put her through! Release her! Now!" Jackie's face turned red with anger.Cheryl also looked displeased. "Jayden, what were you thinking? Given the current situation, why are you still talking about a wedding? You've gone too far. Camilla doesn't like you anymore. Why are you still keeping her by your side?"Jayden remained calm in the face of their outburst. "We won't separate, and the wedding must be held. Uncle Jackie, there's no need to get worked up about it. You can either wait for the wedding to happen or never see her ever again. You shouldn't doubt my words nor have a showdown with the Moore family. The Bass family is in no position to go against us. I hope all of you can calm down so Camilla can prepare for the wedding peacefully."It was a simple but crude threat!Jackie was fuming with anger. He stepped forward and raised his fist. He wanted to hit Jayden. However, he couldn't swing
Jayden's brow furrowed. After a brief contemplation, he nodded. "Go ahead."Tamara sighed in relief. Luckily, Jayden allowed her to go upstairs and talk to Camilla.Upstairs, in the bedroom.Tamara knocked on the door. But there was no response even after waiting for a while. She opened the door and walked in, immediately seeing Camilla standing on the balcony."Camilla, what are you looking at?" Tamara approached her and followed her gaze, noticing the cliffs outside. Tamara frowned.Camilla stared at the cliff and let out a soft laugh. "Isn't it ironic? He is treating me well but had me locked up atop a cliff. I can either be with him or perish eternally."Tamara gave Camilla a complicated look. She sighed after a moment of silence. "Does it mean you know about his situation but still find it impossible to forgive him?"Camilla blinked. "Tammy, my biggest regret is that I revealed my feelings back then. I don't regret falling in love with him. How could something as pure as
Upstairs.Jayden returned to the bedroom and saw Camilla standing on the balcony. His brows furrowed, and he approached her. "It's dangerous here."Camilla replied coldly, "I'm just enjoying the view outside. What's wrong? Can I not even admire the scenery?"Jayden's breath hitched. He could sense the venom laced within her words."I didn't mean that," Jayden said in a hoarse voice.However, Camilla had already pushed past him and went to lie on the bed. She made it clear she didn't want to communicate with him. Jayden frowned at her actions. He seemed to be in great pain and turned a few shades paler."You should rest. I'll come back to you later." With that, he left the bedroom.He pressed a hand on his abdomen as sweat coated his forehead. But his gaze was as clear as day. Perhaps, this was the pain she felt? Now he could somewhat empathize with her.Nighttime.Camilla opened her eyes and scanned the room. She was in a daze as she sat up on the bed. She couldn't seem to
Camilla didn't say anything. She didn't react to his words. Jayden didn't care about her reaction and began talking about the wedding plans. He meticulously arranged everything, hoping to spark even a tiny bit of interest from her.But, there was none.She remained indifferent even after he finished explaining the entire wedding process.Jayden tossed the tablet aside and removed his glasses. He pressed her down on the couch with a dark look on his face. "Camilla, do you think I'll let you go if you behave like a brat?"Camilla furrowed her brows at him. "Will you?""Of course not!" Jayden suppressed his anger. "Grow up, Camilla. You may not forgive me, but you should understand that there's nothing you can do even if you hate me. You can only be by my side!"Camilla's breath hitched. "Jayden, you're insane.""Yes, I've gone mad a long time ago." Jayden leaned down after saying that.Camilla started struggling. "No! Don't touch me!""You are my wife. Why can't I touch you?"
Camilla lowered her gaze. "What do you think I'll do? I'm not the one who calls the shot. All I can do is find peace within myself. Instead of living in a nightmare, it's better to face reality."Jayden stood up abruptly. His eyes were tinted with shock. "Are you serious?"Camilla calmly replied, "Do I look like I'm joking?"Jayden leaned in and kissed her. He was excited, but he didn't take it any further. "Sweetheart, I'm really happy you think this way."He thought there was an unbridgeable gap between them. No matter how close they got, they could never truly connect with each other. But he hadn't expected that she would take this step. It was great news. As long as she didn't overthink this, everything would be fine.Jayden calmed himself down and continued, "I know you've seen her medical records. She has been searching for treatment abroad for several years. But no one could cure her, which led her to think of me. Back at Nammu Bay, Tanya just so happened to be there wh
Kylie hesitated. "Camilla, you don't have to hide it from me. I already know about your situation."Camilla remained silent. Kylie sighed. "I told you Jayden is crazy, but you didn't believe me. Do you see it now? He's willing to sacrifice you for his own sake. And now, he has you trapped, and you can't escape."The smile on Camilla's face gradually faded away. She remained silent for a few seconds before speaking again, "Kylie, please don't worry about me. I don't want to involve any of you. The Moore family is powerful. Ordinary people can't compete against them.""But ..." Kylie wanted to continue, but in the next second, her phone was snatched away."What is there to be afraid of? Camilla, give me the word, and I'll help you escape. He only got the upper hand because I was careless. But now, he can't hurt me anymore," Simon's voice came from the phone.They were together.Camilla smiled when she realized this. "I don't want to escape. Everything's fine.""Camilla ..." Simo
Camilla didn't react much toward that message from Scott. To her, Scott was someone who paid close attention to the relationship between her and Jayden. He was aware of their every move, sometimes even sabotaging their relationship.What was Scott's role in her relationship with Jayden?Camilla couldn't care less about it.She started reading the recent news. Even though her phone had been confiscated for only two days, she felt disconnected from the world. She had a strong urge to catch up with recent events. Otherwise, she might feel like a bird in a cage.She spent a long time on her phone. She only put down her phone when noon rolled by. "Mrs. Moore, lunch is ready," a maid walked over and informed her respectfully."Okay," Camilla hummed and went to the dining room. She noticed only a simple dish was laid on the table. But Camilla paid no mind to it and ate without complaints.Two maids observed her for a moment before they left the dining room.After lunch, Camill
Camilla's gaze fell on the laptop, where several wedding plans were displayed. She went through each one quickly."You can decide on any of them. I'm fine with anything," Camilla mumbled.Jayden knew Camilla's heart wasn't really on the wedding. He nodded. "Okay, I'll decide. But let's stick to the design you had for the wedding gown."Upon hearing this, Camilla's head snapped up to him. "How did you find out?"Jayden smiled. "I pay a lot of attention to you. I knew you were designing the wedding gown. I also know that you were looking forward to our wedding. So, my dear wife, let me know if you want anything, okay?"Camilla pursed her lips and gave him a complicated look.After a moment, she finally said, "I was very excited before, but now I don't have any ideas."When she was designing the wedding gown before, she wanted her wedding to be different from the rest. But the gown wasn't even completed when the incident happened. Even if she started to design it again, she would
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
