Tamara awoke in the hospital to find herself facing a white ceiling. She was confused by this.“You’re awake,” sounded James from beside her. Tamara turned and blinked at him.It was James who saved her.“Thank you,” signed Tamara.James said, “You’re welcome. I never thought someone would lay their hands on you.”James was walking past when he saw someone dragging Tamara away. Seeing how horrible of a state Tamara was in, James went up to help her without hesitation.Tamara lowered her gaze. She did not know who the person was.She also didn’t know who was plotting against her.The only person who came to mind was Yareli.But why would Yareli do that?Tamara was pregnant with the Lynch family’s heir. Yareli couldn’t possibly be plotting against her at a time like this.James saw the suspicion in Tamara’s eyes and decided not to pry further. “You have to stay the night here. The doctor will come round to check up on you tomorrow, and you will be ready to go then.”Tamara nod
“Tamara, I can’t believe you’re siding with an outsider,” pouted Sebastian.Tamara was speechless.She couldn’t believe she’d get to see such a childish side of the all-powerful Sebastian.Sebastian saw nothing wrong with it. “He had only saved you once, and you’re already siding with him. He sure left a good impression on you.”Tamara sighed.Sebastian suddenly hovered around Tamara until they were only inches apart. “Tamara Simmons, you’re not allowed to side with him. Do you understand?”Tamara remained silent.She blinked hopelessly at Sebastian. How was she supposed to react to this?Sebastian did not buy her silence. He got down and bit Tamara’s lips.Tamara yelped and sucked in a breath. She glared at Sebastian.“Do you understand?” Sebastian whispered against her lips.His voice was husky and low. When he spoke, their lips would occasionally brush against each other. It was as if Sebastian was teasing Tamara with a kiss.Tamara’s face turned bright red. She placed h
Tamara had not anticipated this. Only James’ fingerprints were discovered.How could this be?It was James who saved her.“Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?” questioned Tamara.Sebastian met Tamara’s questioning gaze with a darkened look. “Are you doubting me?”Underneath Sebastian’s annoyance, Tamara could see a hint of sadness.Tamara thought her eyes were playing tricks on her.“Before I passed out, I saw James coming to save me. It’s normal for his fingerprints to be on me…” explained Tamara. There must be more fingerprints on her, but they must have been lost when the doctors threw her clothes away.Sebastian stared at Tamara. “You don’t believe me.”Tamara pursed her lips.It wasn’t that she didn’t believe Sebastian. She just didn’t want to make this a big deal.“I’m only worried that someone might intentionally delete the footage. I never said I doubted you.” When Tamara met Sebastian’s gaze, she couldn’t help but hug him.She batted her eyes at him.Sebastian
“Do you know who could be behind this?” James saw the puzzled look Tamara had and asked.Tamara frowned. “Not a single person came to mind.”Many people wished for her demise. But if she was only going by that alone, she could not narrow it down to a single suspect.Who could it be?James nodded understandingly. “Alright.”He continued, “This person has already left Londsville. It will be difficult to apprehend him. Do you wish to notify Young Mr. Lynch? After all, his family’s businesses can be found all over the country.”Tell Sebastian?Tamara couldn’t explain the bad feeling she had about this.After all, Sebastian had come up empty-handed while James managed to dig up some information.Sebastian had also told her that only James’ fingerprints were found on her clothes.She didn’t know why she felt weird about this.Tamara pushed down the strange feeling, remembering that Sebastian would never lie to her.“I’ll keep an eye out. Thank you.” Tamara offered James a smile a
Tamara frowned at Sebastian. He was being impossible.He had sent someone to trail after her. How dare he act so high and mighty?Just when Tamara was about to retort, James butted in, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have asked you over to look at the documents.”James then turned to Sebastian. “This really is just a misunderstanding, Young Mr. Lynch. Young Mrs. Lynch only came over to look at the documents about her kidnapper from last night.”Immediately after saying that, he handed Sebastian his tablet as evidence of his innocence.After James was sure Sebastian had looked through the content, he turned to Tamara. “Please don’t blame Young Mr. Lynch, Young Mrs. Lynch. He was only worried about you. I was in the wrong for not thinking things through.”Sebastian remained silent.He couldn’t put his finger on the weird feeling he was getting.In the next second, Tamara’s face darkened. “Sebastian Lynch. James found what you couldn’t. Wouldn’t it be natural if I came over to hav
“What is there to explain? There is nothing between us.” Tamara began cutting her steak.James nodded at this, and their conversation ended.Afterward, Tamara went to 1999 to work. She only came to Margot’s office once she was done preparing the three glasses of wine.“Tammy, what brings you here today?” Margot looked up from her work.Tamara signed, “Just passing by.”Margot propped her head on her hand. “Did you get into a fight with Young Mr. Lynch?”Tamara paused. “How did you know?”Margot smiled meaningfully. She stood up and went to take a seat beside Tamara. “I can’t believe Young Mr. Lynch would have a fight with you. He was always so smitten with you.”Tamara felt like she had been hit in the head. Margot was telling the truth.“No amount of love can change who he is deep inside,” frowned Tamara.“Seems like it was a big fight,” exclaimed Margot. “What happened?”Tamara observed Margot’s curious look. “You really want to know?”“Hurry up and spit it out.” Margot w
“What should I do then?” Sebastian’s voice was husky and low. It sounded very alluring.Tamara’s breath quickened. She had the sudden urge to kiss him, so she did.Sebastian immediately returned her kiss.His kisses went lower and lower.Tamara’s body was on fire, and she was shaking in anticipation.Tamara held her hand up to stop Sebastian. She looked at him through hasty eyes.Sebastian was breathing heavily. He swallowed, “It’s been four months.”Tamara shivered. In the next second, she kissed him.She had responded with her actions.After a while...Tamara’s limp body was carried into the bathroom. She was returned to her bed after she had been cleaned up.Sebastian was gazing tenderly at Tamara’s tired face. He chuckled lowly.Tamara’s eyelids were partially closed as she peered at him. “What are you laughing at?”“You will need more practice,” muttered Sebastian. “Let’s wait until after the baby is born.”Tamara was speechless.Her face was as bright as a tomato
Sebastian and Old Mr. Lynch were standing outside since men were prohibited inside.They saw a dumbfounded Tamara coming out with the report in hand.“What’s wrong?” Sebastian came closer and took the report from her.“You’re having triplets?” After reading the report, Sebastian paused before his gaze landed on Tamara’s stomach.“What?” Old Mr. Lynch’s eyes were as wide as saucers when he heard the news. He snatched the report from Sebastian and laughed when he read the content.“You did well, Tamara!” exclaimed the old man.That will be the first pair of triplets in the long lineage of the Lynch family.“How will you carry all three babies in your stomach?” Sebastian’s concern was about something else.Tamara felt speechless. “How am I supposed to know? Shouldn’t you be the one to blame?”She never thought she would be pregnant with triplets on the first try.Sebastian was something else.Immediately, Sebastian carried Tamara in bridal style, which caused her to struggle ag
