Tamara turned to Sebastian in suspicion. “What are you planning to do?”Sebastian’s face turned stern. “Did she think she could escape from all the wrongdoings she did? Dream on!”Hearing this, Tamara knew Sebastian was going to deal with Joanne.However, Joanne was part of Clacton’s Custry family. It wasn’t a good idea to go against them, right?Sebastian observed Tamara’s worries. His lips curled into a devilish smirk. “Are you worried for me?”Tamara nodded. “I don’t want to cause you trouble.”After all, when one was at a disadvantage, it wouldn’t be wise to go against their opponents head-on. Instead, they should lay low and look for the right opportunity before giving the winning blow.Sebastian pulled Tamara into his embrace and kissed her on the top of her head. He whispered, “Don’t worry. We’ll be fine.”Tamara’s doubts were chased away when she saw the stern look on Sebastian’s face and the kingly aura he was giving off. She nodded at his words.Jerome, who was stand
“Go familiarize yourself with this place. We’ll be working here from now on,” ordered Ms. Thompson.The rest of the servants complied.…Tamara took a nap, and her fatigue had washed away by the time she woke up. She slowly sat up before she stretched.Her phone suddenly buzzed.Tamara took her phone and noticed it was a text from James. “Are you free to meet up right now? I have something I wish to say to you.”Tamara blinked before she made her decision. “Okay. Give me a location.”…James picked a restaurant as their meeting place.Once Tamara entered, she saw James standing not far from her. James walked over when their eyes met.“I’ve booked us a private room. Let’s go,” informed James.Tamara nodded and followed James to their private room.Once they were seated, a waiter came over with the menus.“What would you like to order?” James passed the menu to Tamara.Tamara flipped through the menu and quickly made her choice.They were still friends. Tamara did not want
A hard look replaced James’ usual gentleness. “You’re right. I am useless.”The other voice roared angrily, “Tell me the truth! Have you fallen for Tamara?”James’ breathing hitched, “No.”“No? Then why didn’t you take advantage of her? It had better not be because she is pregnant, and you felt pity for her. I’ll call bullshit on that! You had better get your sorry ass back to Clacton! You have forgotten where you stand, boy!” He hung up the call.James clenched his fists tightly. When he turned around, Tamara was still trying to call a taxi. She looked so fragile and soft. The wind blowing her hair behind her only added to her beauty and gave her the appearance of having stepped out of a fairytale.James swallowed hard before walking over. “I’m done, Tamara. I’ll give you a ride.”Tamara was startled. “You’re done so soon?”Nathan nodded and smiled, “It was just a phone call. It didn’t take too long.”Tamara mirrored his nod. “Alright. Thank you.”It was hard to find a taxi h
When Ms. Thompson walked over, she immediately sensed something was wrong. She observed the confused Tamara and also Sebastian, who was going upstairs. Slowly making her way to Tamara, she asked, “What happened, Young Mrs. Lynch?”Tamara was also in the dark. “I’m not sure.”Sebastian seemed furious.Who angered him?Ms. Thompson suggested, “Maybe you should check up on him, Young Mrs. Lynch. I hope nothing bad happened.”Tamara nodded. Although she wasn’t sure why Sebastian gave her cold shoulders, she was determined to get to the bottom of it.Tamara saw Sebastian entering his study room.Sebastian came home just to work?Tamara walked over. When she opened the door, a low voice sounded, “Don’t you know how to knock?”Tamara blinked with her clear eyes. Upon seeing the stern look on Sebastian’s face, she closed the door and knocked.“Come in,” said Sebastian coldly. Only then did Tamara enter.“What’s up with you?” signed Tamara.Sebastian was leaning against the table. H
Tamara tilted her head. “He’s leaving today?”James told her he was only leaving tomorrow.Sebastian snorted, “Another lie.”Tamara pursed her lips. Her gaze landed on the files. It was too clean to be true.What secrets was James hiding?“Tamara, you’re not the only one affected now. You can’t be thinking only for yourself all the time. Think about our babies.” Sebastian saw the thoughtful look on Tamara’s face and reminded gently.After a moment of silence, Tamara nodded. “I know.”Sebastian reached out to grab her hands, but Tamara had turned to leave.Sebastian’s face fell. “What are you doing?”Tamara didn’t notice Sebastian reaching out for her hand. She wanted to discuss this with Margot. After all, Margot was their middleman back then.Maybe Margot knew something that they didn’t.Tamara swiftly made her way to the room before giving Margot a video call.However, her calls never made it through.Why was that?Realization hit Tamara like a truck. Ever since last ni
Tamara cleared her throat.They really shouldn’t discuss this any further.…Time slipped by. Soon, Tamara was six months into her pregnancy. She decided to go for another checkup. This time, she did so in secret.Thinking about the conversation she heard in her last checkup, Tamara felt nothing but disgust toward Yareli.Even Sebastian was kept in the dark this time.Tamara smiled in relief when the reports came out since everything was okay.Just then, her phone buzzed.Tamara pulled out her phone and saw it was a text from Anthony. “Jocelyn had been hanging out with Janine a lot these days. I dug deeper and discovered that Janine was Eugenia’s younger sister. Jocelyn even bought some aphrodisiac. Her birthday is in three days.”Tamara knitted her brows at the text. She let out a sigh and felt helpless.Jocelyn still hated her.She would even join hands with Eugenia.After a moment of thought, Tamara replied, “Keep an eye out for her.”Anthony complied.…It was Jocely
Janine wasn’t expecting Tamara to call out to her. However, looking at Tamara typing away on her phone, disdain flashed through Janine’s eyes.How could such a person compete with her sister?Eugenia was the one who deserved the title “Young Mrs. Lynch.”“Hello, Aunt Tamara. I’m Janine.” Although Janine thought poorly of Tamara, she plastered on a sweet smile regardless.Something glinted within Tamara’s eyes. She typed, “You must be on very good terms with Jocelyn. I’m sure the both of you help each other out a lot, right?”Jocelyn paused and secretly rolled her eyes at the idea. Who would want to be friends with Jocelyn?However, Jocelyn merely smiled and nodded. “That’s right.”“If that’s the case, I’ll hand this gift to you instead. Think of it as a thank-you gift from me. After all, you’re Jocelyn’s best friend,” typed Tamara. She was smiling ear to ear at Janine.Janine’s eyes widened before she shook her head. “I can’t take it. That’s Jocelyn’s gift for you.”Jocelyn wa
Outside the manor.A cold breeze blew past them. Tamara came back to her senses. She looked around the yard before turning to Jocelyn in confusion. “Where are you bringing me?” Jocelyn didn’t expect Tamara to come back to her senses so soon. She sneered, “I’m sending you away for good!”Tamara was startled and struggled against Jocelyn. However, her limbs didn’t feel like hers, and she was too weak to do anything. She was like a ragdoll being held up by Jocelyn.Very soon, they arrived at the backyard swimming pool. Tamara signed anxiously, looking at the clear water, “You can’t do this. If you kill me, you won’t be able to survive as well.”Jocelyn said darkly, “I’m fine as long as you’re dead. You killed my family. It’s only fair if you die too!”With that, Jocelyn pushed with all her might. Weirdly enough, black smoke surrounded her without warning, leaving her blind.Not long after, a scream cut through the air.The smoke dispersed, and Jocelyn was surprised to find Janine
