Kayla was smiling weirdly at Margot like she was looking at a clown, but inside, she was actually seething with jealousy.Why did Benjamin choose to stay with Kayla?It was because he was afraid she would hurt Margot!Benjamin regarded Margot more important than his own life!“Speak!” Margot was impatient. She reached forward to grab Kayla’s arms, but Tamara stopped her.“Let her talk.” Tamara drew Margot back. “Since she brought it up, it means she wants to tell you about it.”“Well said, Miss Moore.” Kayla glanced darkly at Tamara.She had looked into Tamara. She knew Tamara had stayed in Londsville for over 20 years and was also the reason why her sister, Eugenia, was imprisoned.Kayla had previously paid a visit to Eugenia. Eugenia was depressed by then, having fallen from grace and completely lost her elegant temperament.That was why Kayla despised both Margot and Tamara!Tamara did not reply. She stared coldly at Kayla.Kayla snorted, “I placed a curse on him. Every 1
Margot stopped Kayla. She stared at Kayla and swallowed hard. “What should I do for you to save him?”Upon hearing that, Tamara’s brows furrowed. “Margot…”Margot was begging Kayla!Kayla snorted. She turned around and stared contemptuously at Margot. “If you kneel before me and beg, I might consider it…”“Don’t even think about it!” Tamara cut her off.Tamara grabbed Margot’s hand and said, “We will find a way to save Benjamin. I’ll hire doctors from around the world to treat him. Benjamin will be fine!”Kayla was a despicable villain!Margot was trembling. She bit her lips, feeling humiliated. Margot tightened her fists.She was shaking with anger!Kayla was pushing it!Margot gave Kayla a harsh glare, but Kayla merely brushed her off and muttered faintly, “The only person who can uplift the curse is me. So you must make a decision. Will you save Benjamin or your own pride?”With that, Kayla casually took a seat as if she had all the time in the world.She had a look of c
“Very well,” hummed Sebastian.Tamara helped Margot to Benjamin’s ward.Benjamin remained unconscious and was still hooked up to an IV. His handsome face was as white as sheets.Margot sat by his bed with a blank look. She observed Benjamin wordlessly.Tamara and Sebastian exited the ward and left the hospital.“Give her some time. She’ll come around,” said Tamara.Sebastian opened the car door for Tamara. They both got into the car. The atmosphere was unusually tense.This was all too sudden.Who would have thought Kayla had threatened Benjamin to divorce Margot?Kayla had a twisted personality. It seemed like she was getting revenge on Benjamin, yet she chose to marry him too.This was a huge mess.Sebastian took Tamara’s hand and comforted her quietly, “Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”Tamara nodded. Just then, a phone rang.It was Sebastian’s phone.Sebastian pulled out his phone and answered the call. After a few moments, his face fell.After hanging up the phone, he tu
Camilla’s uninterested face tensed, and she became stiff. “It’s finished.”Jayden hummed, “Not bad.”Then, he slowly retracted his hand and went to get the samples.As soon as he turned around, Camilla touched her burning cheeks. She felt hot. Camilla forced herself to calm down.Jayden was just closing the door.Why was she blushing over this?Soon, Jayden returned with a vial of a sample. He passed it to Camilla and said faintly, “Compare this with Kayla’s blood. Tell me the results when you’re done.”Camilla nodded and took the vial from him.Her fingers lightly brushed against Jayden’s hand.Camilla felt electricity coursing through her from the touch. She immediately retracted her hand.Jayden was looking through some files. Upon noticing Camilla wasn’t taking the sample from him, he looked up at her. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing.” Camilla snatched the vial from him. This time, she took great care in avoiding touching Jayden.Her heart pounded hard against her chest. Camil
Tamara didn’t give Kayla the chance. She stepped forward and knocked Kayla out.Tamara exited the room sullenly.Austin was surprised. “Can she really kill someone with her curse?”Tamara pursed her lips. “I don’t know. Continue with your research. But take close care in giving her some anesthetic when she wakes up. We’re not sure how true her words are. But it’s better to be safe than sorry.”Austin nodded. “Very well.”Tamara left the lab with Sebastian.Jayden was going through his notes. He chuckled warmly when he saw the couple. “It’s lunchtime. Care to grab a bite with me?”“Sure,” nodded Tamara. She wrapped her hand around Sebastian’s arms.Jayden smiled at their actions.“Wait for me at the car. I have to change out of this,” muttered Jayden.“Alright.” Tamara and Sebastian exited the building.Jayden spun around and came to Camilla’s desk. He tapped his fingers against the table. “Let’s eat.”Camilla was startled. “But…sir, you will be dining with your family. I’ll
This wasn’t the first time Camilla had been in Jayden’s car.Nevertheless, she continued to feel nervous.Her heart raced, and she couldn’t bring herself to glance at Jayden.Camilla cursed herself for being a coward. Her heart was bursting with emotions, but she was too much of a wimp to admit it to Jayden.Camilla liked Jayden.She had been pining for him ever since her first year in college.Camilla worked her tail off in her studies and eventually started working at Jayden’s lab.She had hoped Jayden would take notice of her if she completed all her homework. Maybe, he would even be impressed by her excellence.Yet things didn’t go as planned.Jayden was gentle and respectful with her, but that was just how he was to everyone—no matter the gender.Jayden was gentle and elegant. He felt like a warm summer breeze, so people were naturally drawn to him, but Jayden always kept them at a distance.Even so, Camilla couldn’t stop herself from falling for him.She couldn’t stop
Tamara frowned, "Jay, you…"Jayden looked indifferent. "Don't bother."Tamara let out a helpless sigh. She turned to Sebastian. "What should I do? All my brothers are still single."Sebastian looked on coldly. "Oh."Tamara fought the urge to roll her eyes.…At the same time, outside.Camilla paled. Her long lashes fluttered slightly before she headed for the restroom.He said that she was just his student.Was there no hope between them?Camilla's heart was shattered. Their relationship had ended before it had even begun.Camilla bit her lips and looked into the mirror. Her complexion was flawless, and she was beautiful.But she wasn't Jayden's type.Camilla was heartbroken. Tears welled up in her eyes.She took out her phone and called Jayden."Hello, Camilla," came Jayden's warm voice."I just remembered the experiment results are out, sir. I'll be heading back to look at it. Please carry on without me." Camilla composed herself before the words came rushing out of h
Tamara paused. She hung up the phone and turned to Margot. "Margot, Jay is asking us to visit him at his lab."Margot's eyes lit up. "Did he find something?""Yes," nodded Tamara. "We'll know when we get there. Let's go."Margot nodded excitedly. …At the lab.Once Tamara and Margot arrived, they saw Camilla exiting the lab with her full gear on. She was wearing her lab coat, mask, and safety goggles. When she saw the two ladies, she nodded at them before going back to her work.Tamara went to Kayla's room and knocked."Come in," came a warm voice.Tamara and Margot entered the room.Jayden and Austin were sitting in front of the monitor, analyzing the data."Jay," Tamara called out as she approached the men.Jayden turned to her and stood up. "I took some of her blood samples and compared them to those I got from some Pacific Islands. They were compatible."Tamara gave him a questioning look. "Meaning?""There is a cursed bug inside her," informed Jayden. He brought the
