Tamara was speechless for a moment before continuing to sign, “If you really don’t want to hear it, I’ll just not tell you, then.”Sebastian grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. “Where are you going?”Tamara pursed her lips, then talked to Sebastian about William and Yareli’s request for her to attend the charity auction with Sebastian.Sebastian’s expression darkened at that, and his thin lips pursed into a line.William and Yareli couldn’t have made their intentions any more apparent.Could it be that they were anxious over Sebastian’s long-standing hold over ST Corporation and felt threatened by him?He nearly scoffed out loud.Tamara had no idea what was running through his mind at that moment. However, she could feel that Sebastian was exerting more force on her fingers as he played with them. Even so, it didn’t hurt.“Do you want to go?” Sebastian shifted his gaze over to Tamara’s face.Tamara honestly didn’t want to. However, Sebastian’s parents had cordially
Tamara thought it over before signing, “This idea of yours is pretty good, but how do you propose we film it?”James smiled. “I’ve got a pretty good idea on that. You’re going to play a goddess in the video. You can act as the Goddess of Justice or a punisher from hell. Whichever you choose, as long as you play the role of a judge, I’m sure everyone will enjoy it.”Tamara and Margot shared a glance, their eyes brightening up at the idea.“A goddess, you say? You’ll look so angelic and beautiful,” Margot piped up from beside Tamara while imagining her friend in a beautiful, billowing dress.Tamara shook her head. “I don’t want to reveal my face. You know I’ve always used makeup to change my appearance when I filmed my TikTok videos, right?”James looked at her appraisingly and said, “I don’t think I got the chance to tell you just how amazing you are at that. Your makeup skills are awesome!”Tamara smiled. “Thank you.”James was able to read her signing. Suddenly, he asked, “Have
Tamara honestly had no idea what happened to the phone. Either way, she couldn’t find it when she went looking.Margot said while driving, “Tammy, you’ve changed.”Tamara looked at Margot curiously. “How so?” she thought.Margot smiled and elaborated without further prompting, “You blush a lot easier now. Furthermore, when that husband of yours gets mentioned in conversations, your eyes seem to sparkle. You’ve fallen in love with him, haven’t you?”When Tamara heard that, her eyes suddenly lit up with emotion. She looked out the window and admired the beautiful scenery. Margot’s laughter, however, soon disturbed her peace.“Look at you. You’re blushing again! But judging by the look on Sebastian’s face, I think he might feel the same for you,” Margot said, her smile turning a little coy near the end.Tamara wanted to shut her up by stuffing something into her mouth. However, Margot was driving, so she could not do anything about it.Margot continued, “But Tammy, my dear, you’ll
The woman scrutinized Margot briefly, looking pissed off. “Who the hell are you?”The woman neither admitted nor denied the accusation. It didn’t appear that Benjamin had requested this woman’s services at all.Margot smiled after piecing together what she had heard. “It doesn’t matter who I am to you. What’s troubling is that you drugged the man currently in that room. You do realize you’ve committed a crime?”The woman froze. “What nonsense are you spouting? I have no idea what you’re talking about!”The woman was trying to cover up.Margot stormed up to the woman and snatched the key card away. “I’m Benjamin Inkling’s friend. He called and told me that he wasn’t feeling well. Isn’t it odd that I found you lingering outside his room door just as I was about to check up on him? You were even talking about drugging someone through the phone! I wonder what would happen if I called the police right now.”The woman panicked. “This is slander! I would never drug anyone!”With that,
Tamara’s face was flushed. Her eyes were hazy, and her lipstick got smudged.Panting heavily, she pushed Sebastian away and hurriedly signed, “We’ll be late if we keep this up. Wait for me downstairs.”Sebastian fixed his gaze on her dazed expression. As he swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbed sensually. He couldn’t help but bite those luscious lips softly before turning to leave.Tamara tried to calm her restless heart. It took her a few minutes to get back to doing her makeup.…The charity auction was held in Middies Clubhouse. The lobby was brightly lit, with rows of white chairs lined up. All the guests greeted each other in passing.Yareli and William were standing together, smiling and chatting away with others.Sebastian and Tamara entered together through the entrance.Yareli rushed up to them. “Seb, you guys are finally here!”Then, she gave Tamara a once-over before peeking behind her. She promptly frowned and asked, “Tamara, where are your friends?”Tamara looked
“You!”Yareli never expected Sebastian to talk back to her like that.She pointed a trembling finger at the man, then pointed at Tamara. Unable to formulate any words, Yareli spun on her heel and left.Tamara pinched Sebastian’s finger. “Are you sure that was wise?”Sebastian merely smiled at her, and his handsome face softened. “Why? Are you worried about me?”Tamara’s eyes flickered slightly. It was only natural for her to worry.If Sebastian picked a fight with Yareli, it meant he had picked a fight with his entire family.Even though he was in total control of ST Corporation at the moment, William was still the company’s CEO. As such, he could remove Sebastian from his current position of power.Tamara couldn’t help herself from worrying.…“I’m going to keel over from anger! Seb’s been mesmerized and brainwashed by that bitch! Do you know what he told me? He said he will only ever accept Tamara as his wife in this life!”Yareli ranted angrily at William, who was next to
Tamara wanted to pull her hand back, but Sebastian was domineering and refused to let her go.Sebastian hummed and narrowed his eyes. “Tamara Simmons, are you seriously mad at me?”Tamara pouted. She couldn’t sign her words with only one hand. So, she awkwardly typed with her free hand, “I need both hands to sign.”Sebastian weighed his options before he reluctantly let her go.“James is my business partner. You shouldn’t have treated him like you did earlier,” signed an unhappy Tamara. “Business partner?” Sebastian frowned. “Since when?”Tamara paused. She had forgotten that Sebastian was still clueless about her TikTok persona.Tamara cursed herself for her carelessness. She immediately came up with an excuse. “James is interested in my scented tea. He wishes to help promote it.”Sebastian’s frown deepened. “Promote your scented tea? Why didn’t you come to me instead? Why would you look to an outsider for help?”Not to mention the fact that the outsider was a man.Somethin
Tamara turned toward the owner of the voice.“I see you’ve got your sights set on it, Tamara. “I’d like to gift it to you,” James said with a gentle smile. He was sitting behind Tamara.Tamara was shocked to learn James was the one who placed the bid.“I can’t allow that. Stop bidding. This teapot isn’t worth that much. I’ll be able to get it easily.” Tamara hurried to stop him. Although she was grateful for his offer, two million dollars was too much.Tamara was planning to get it at around a million dollars.James smiled faintly, “It is a gift for a friend. Of course, I have to offer my all. I ask that you stop bidding for it.”Tamara wanted to refuse, but Sebastian grabbed her hand.She turned back to Sebastian.Sebastian had a stern look on his face. “Why are you wasting your breath with him?”Tamara grew speechless at this.On stage, the host was about to seal the deal.“Two million going once! Two million going twice!” exclaimed the host excitedly. They never thought t
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
