The sharp dagger glided over Jessica’s delicate skin. Blood splattered everywhere, staining the area red.“Please! Let me go! I beg of you…” Jessica stared frightfully at the standing man.Usually, the man was gentle and charming. He always had a small smile on his face. But the man now appeared evil and ruthless. He looked like a beast out for revenge.Today was the third day of Jessica’s imprisonment.She had endured endless torture for the past three days.She never thought the gentle man had a dark side to him. He was ruthless when it came down to it!Jessica’s body was riddled with wounds.There were numerous wounds from whips and nails, among others. Multiple needle punctures were visible all over her knees. She looked awful!Iron had scorched her chest. The pungent odor and the pain were too much for her. She even passed out from it!But whenever she lost consciousness, the man would inject some liquid into her to make her stay awake.Jessica felt like she was in hell!
At the Custry Corporation.Jerome returned with some lunch. He knocked on the door cautiously. After hearing Sebastian’s low hum, Jerome entered the room.“Young Mr. and Mrs. Lynch, your lunch has arrived.” Jerome placed the lunchbox on the table and left the office.Sebastian went through some documents while Tamara played with her phone on the couch. Tamara’s stomach grumbled when she smelled the food’s aroma.“Let’s eat, Mr. Custry.” Tamara got up and walked over with a grin.“I lost my strength to even stand,” Sebastian murmured while gazing at her with his dark eyes.Tamara widened her eyes. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling ill?”Sebastian’s face scrunched up together. He looked to be in pain. Tamara immediately leaned down to inspect him.When she did, Sebastian caught her lips. “Now I’m recharged.”Tamara grew speechless.She sent him an annoyed glare and headed for the table.Sebastian’s chuckles sounded from behind her. Tamara’s face turned red.“I’ll send Caleb over
Layla questioned, “What about my daughter?”Selena groaned, “Don’t worry. My men are already looking for her. They’ll find her soon.”Layla cast a glance at Tamara. She had a strange feeling about it. But when she thought about her daughter, all she could do was grit her teeth. “I’ll send her over right now.”Selena hummed victoriously.…They arrived at a house Selena owned in the suburbs.Layla brought Tamara over. Selena was already there waiting for them. When she saw the unconscious Tamara, she snorted, “Haha…little bitch! Let’s see who’s the boss now!”“Bring her in!” ordered Selena. The guards immediately carried Tamara inside.Layla didn’t like where this was going. “You’re not going to kill her, right?”The Moore family was part of Clacton’s big four. One should think twice before messing with them.If something terrible were to happen, Layla would be doomed.She asked Damien to prepare some money in advance. Once they found their daughter, they would leave Clacton
When the men heard that, they unconsciously placed their hands over their dicks. They experienced firsthand how dangerous the woman was. They believe Tamara could really snap their dicks off if she wanted to.The men turned to Selena. She took great care of herself over the years. Although she was nearing her fifties, she still looked to be in her early forties. She didn’t have any wrinkles and looked to be in good shape.“Stop! Don’t come any closer! Are you insane, Tamara? If your mom were still alive, she would be around my age! How dare you treat me like this?” roared Selena as she saw the approaching men. She gave Tamara a dark look.Tamara looked identical to Alex. Selena could see Alex’s younger self just by staring at Tamara.Back in the day, Alex was the most beautiful woman in Clacton. Everyone else came second to her.Fortunately, Alex’s unholy actions cost her her place in Clacton.Selena never thought she would fall into Alex’s daughter’s hands.“What are you waitin
Layla begged, “I know I deserve punishment, Miss Moore. Even if you have made it out safely, I still could never forgive myself. I only beg that you postpone the punishment until I find my daughter. Please?”Tamara was shocked. “Your daughter is Jessica Custry?”Wasn’t that James’s fiancée?James had left the Morrison family. Tamara wondered if they were still engaged.Layla nodded. “You know my daughter, Miss Moore?”She suddenly remembered Jessica’s character. “Miss Moore, please forgive my daughter if she ever crossed you. She was spoiled by us and didn’t know any better.”Layla looked pleadingly at Tamara. She was afraid Tamara would demand justice right away.Layla had admitted she had been wrong and hoped Tamara would let her off the hook until she found her daughter.Something flashed across Tamara’s eyes. “What happened to Jessica?”Layla grew pale. “She’s missing! She has been gone for several days now. We’ve searched everywhere for her! We wanted to call the police,
The villa’s living room was a mess. It was covered in disturbing blood streaks. A naked woman lay in a pool of blood. Her face was pale, and her eyes were wide open. She appeared to be completely out of it.Her hands and feet were bound together, and she had scars all over her body. It was apparent she had been tortured!“Jessie!”“Jessica!”Layla and Damien exclaimed in grief. Layla fainted straight away.The police quickly cordoned off the area. While the police took samples inside the villa, Jessica’s body was moved so that an autopsy could be performed.Damien stared at the villa and exclaimed emotionally, “You guys have to find the culprit! Oh, my poor baby girl. My darling’s dead!”Damien and Layla had put their heart and soul into raising Jessica. They couldn’t believe their daughter had been brutally killed just like that!Furthermore, she had so many scars…Damien could not bear the thought of it. When he thought about Jessica’s lifeless body, he felt compelled to kil
It didn’t matter if there were people around. Aunt Helena was always kind to him. She would even stand up for him when he was bullied or looked down on. He really liked her.After hearing that, Tamara was surprised. She didn’t expect Helena to have such a kind side to her. It seemed that Tamara had judged her too harshly.She assumed that because of Helena’s close relationship with Joanna, the latter’s personality must have been equally, if not worse.It turned out that that wasn’t true.“Well, it wasn’t anything important. We were just chatting.” Tamara didn’t want to talk about such disturbing things with her children.Caleb nodded, then continued to play games with her.…The next day, Tamara sent Caleb to kindergarten.The kindergarten was closer to the Custry manor than it was to the Moore manor. They had to get up early because of this. She sent Caleb off and got ready to go.When she turned around, she noticed Helena not far away. The woman had her arms crossed and a di
“Sir, Miss Custry got away!”Hugo’s expression darkened. “Gather reinforcements. Make sure to find her!”“Yes, sir.”Hugo ended the call with a furious look on his face.He had doted on Joanne, but only because she had never done anything out of character.After pulling that embarrassing stunt recently, he thought himself kind for not cutting off all contact with her!He couldn’t believe Joanne had ended up running away without feeling repentant.Hugo’s eyes blazed with cold fury. Then, he left the study.…Evening.Caleb was due to spend the night in the Moore manor.Tamara prepared to make dinner in the kitchen. She wanted to make some cookies for Thomas, Caleb, and Melly.She had recently learned how to bake. Cheryl had tasted her baking before and said it was good, so she decided to make some for her kids.After shaping the cookies and putting the tray into the oven, her phone rang.It was Helena’s number. Tamara found her bothersome. Why was she calling again?“Miss
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
