Downstairs.Sebastian was just entering the kitchen when he heard footsteps shuffling behind him. He turned only to see Tamara making haste down the stairs.Tamara was only six months pregnant, but she was carrying triplets, so her stomach was enormous. She needed to be careful with her steps, but she was practically running at the moment.“Why are you in such a hurry?” Sebastian pulled Tamara to a stop.Tamara looked anxious. “Forget the food. Send me to Margot’s house now! Something’s wrong!”Sebastian cocked his brow. What could possibly happen to Margot?However, seeing Tamara was on edge, Sebastian complied and drove her to Margot’s place after putting on a coat.The security system recognized Tamara’s fingerprint. She immediately entered upon her arrival. The living room was in a mess, and things were scattered around on the floor.Margot was lying on the couch. She was pale and short of breath. All in all, she looked to be in a terrible state.Tamara pounced to check up
Benjamin had been staying at her place for the past few days. No matter how many times Margot chased him away, one wrong move and Benjamin would change her mind with his action.After that, Margot gave up. He was just another mouth to feed and could even serve as a bedwarmer. It was not a bad deal.She was supposed to have a day off. However, when Margot came out from her room, she saw Benjamin standing by the railings with rapidly changing expressions.He appeared angry one moment and sinister the next. His eyes were bloodshot. That caught Margot off guard. She slowly crept up to him and asked, “What’s wrong, Benjamin?”When he heard her voice, Benjamin snapped his head around. He stared at Margot with his bloodshot eyes. His eyes kept switching between a loving look and an angry one. It looked as if two people were fighting to take over his body.“Are you okay, Benjamin? I’ll take you to the hospital.” Margot realized how bad the situation was.She knew the Benjamin she was acq
Benjamin had been friends with Sebastian for many years now. Sebastian knew why Benjamin did what he did.However, Sebastian also took note of Benjamin’s changes.“Benjamin is not in Londsville. I don’t know where he went,” informed Sebastian.Tamara narrowed her eyes. “How could he do that?”Even if he was having an argument with Margot, he shouldn’t have laid his hands on her.Sebastian saw Tamara’s rage and took her by the hand. “We’ll have to wait for his return to find out exactly what happened. All you have to do now is worry about yourself, okay?”Tamara twitched at that. Margot was her friend. How could she not worry?Tamara couldn’t help but giggle as she stared at the blatantly envious Sebastian.Sebastian pecked the corners of her lips. “What are you laughing at?”Tamara shook her head and said nothing.If she were to mention it, Sebastian would keep his emotions in check the next time.She liked seeing him like this.…Back at the Simmons residence, Anthony was
Tamara stopped in her tracks. She lowered her gaze to the grass. A black box had fallen near her feet. She curiously lifted her skirt and bent down. Anthony walked over and drew Tamara aside by her arm.“Allow me to check what’s inside,” said Anthony.Tamara’s clear eyes shone with worry. “Be careful.”It seemed strange that a box would suddenly appear out of nowhere.She couldn’t help but think back to the murderous gaze she had felt earlier.What exactly was inside the box?Anthony nodded before cautiously approaching. He gave it a kick. The box jolted, indicating that it contained nothing heavy.Tamara sighed in relief. If there were a bomb inside, the box wouldn’t have moved from the kick.Anthony let his guard down and bent down to pick the box up.The box was the size of both his palm.Anthony found the opening to the box and pulled it open. Something dropped out.When Tamara saw the thing, she gagged and rushed to the bathroom.It was a dead rat!The rat was covered
Jerome smiled in amusement at the crowd’s failed attempt to keep their curiosity in check.That was just one video call. He had witnessed more intimate scenes between the couple before!Jerome snickered at the crowd. What a bunch of losers.…At the Simmons residence.Anthony was quick in his investigation. He came over to knock on Tamara’s room door just as she hung up the phone.Tamara went to open the door, and Anthony handed the laptop over to her.The footage from the surveillance camera was displayed on the screen. A person was seen hiding in the corner a few minutes before the box was thrown. That person was constantly peering inside.That person was also the one who had thrown the box.“Find and capture that person,” ordered Tamara coldly. She needed to know what the person’s intention was.Anthony nodded before leaving.When Sebastian returned home in the evening, he noticed Tamara lounging on the couch. Her hand was placed over her bulging stomach, and her gaze was
When the man heard James’ name, his eyes instinctively lit up in recognition. Sebastian snorted, “Why did he send you?”“I don’t know who you’re talking about. No one sent me,” the man said obstinately.Tamara’s beautiful brows knitted together. “How could you suspect James? He has no reason to hurt me.”Sebastian’s face turned cold when he heard that. “How can you be certain?”Sebastian’s question dumbfounded Tamara. “You have a biased view of him. Also, he’s not even in Londsville.”Sebastian frowned at her. “I won’t let a single suspect off. He reacted to James’ name. That could only mean one thing. James was the one behind this.”Tamara couldn’t believe her ears. “You’re putting the blame on James just because of this? You are too quick to judge, Sebastian!”Sebastian watched as Tamara flew into a fit. He tightened his jaw before returning his gaze to the man. “Use the scented tea leaves on him!”The guard nodded and crinkled the leaves. He pressed them against the suspec
Killer…Tamara swallowed hard. “Who could it be? Sending a killer after me.”A dark look flashed across Sebastian’s eyes. He brought Tamara back inside. Looking at her pale face, he comforted, “I’ll take care of this. Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”Tamara looked at him with wide eyes and nodded.Just then, Anthony came from outside.“Miss, there is no information on the person. It was like he never existed.” Anthony reported his findings.That further confirmed the person’s identity as a killer.Sebastian’s cold eyes landed on Anthony. “How’s your skill?”Anthony looked indifferent. “What do you need from me, Young Mr. Lynch?”“Let’s have a match.” Sebastian stood up and took off his coat. He rolled up his sleeves, and his toned arms came into view.Anthony frowned and wished to decline. On the other hand, Sebastian didn’t give him a chance to refuse. He walked outside swiftly.Five minutes later, Sebastian came back inside and took a seat beside Tamara. He mumbled, “He has som
“You forget yourself, Tamara. You are nothing more than a baby-making machine for the family. Once the children are born, do you think the Lynch family will take you in?” Yareli mocked. She despised Tamara for overstepping her bounds, for believing she could claim to be Sebastian’s wife simply because she had seduced him.What a joke!She reluctantly agreed back then because of Old Mr. Lynch’s wish. Tamara was only married to Sebastian for that reason. Tamara’s worth, however, would quickly dwindle with the old man’s recovering body and the growing babies.Tamara twitched. She continued to plaster a small smile on her face but said nothing.At first, she shared Yareli’s sentiments.She never wanted to become Sebastian’s wife.Yet over time, she slowly fell for Sebastian.From that day on, she was determined to stay by Sebastian’s side.Yareli looked away from Tamara and made her way outside.Tamara composed herself before trailing after her.They could clearly see the babies
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
