Tamara’s nose prickled.She hugged Margot’s shoulders.Margot patted Tamara’s back comfortingly and offered a warm smile. “Don’t worry, Tammy. I’ll come back, I promise.”Tamara nodded.She couldn’t stop her.Once Margot had set her mind on something, no one could change her mind.Emotions swelled within Tamara secretly. She prayed Margot would succeed in bringing both the antidote and Sebastian back.Tamara knew she shouldn’t have such thoughts. But with how things unfolded, she couldn’t be sure how Sebastian would fare on Nammu Bay. Would he be caught in life-threatening danger? The Lane family was working with James. Sebastian was basically going into the lion’s den.If someone on their side had gone to help him out, Sebastian would have had an easier time there.Tamara closed her eyes and hugged Margot tighter.She accompanied Margot to Benjamin’s ward. When they arrived, she noticed that Benjamin was doing much better than before. Although he had lost weight, he still ha
“Okay,” nodded Tamara. She sent Margot and Benjamin off.Her heart felt heavy, and Tamara was finding it hard to breathe.Tamara went to check up on her children before leaving the hospital.Tamara went straight to the study room when she got home.She turned on the laptop and tried to hack into James’ account, but James was good at securing his account. Tamara couldn’t bypass his account’s security.Tamara’s brows knitted tightly together. Who was the one who had built the firewall to James’ account?Such mastery of skills was hard to come by.But she quickly changed her train of thought. Tamara knew a little about Nammu Bay.Although Nammu Bay wasn’t as advanced as the rest of the world, they still had access to the internet.Nimble fingers danced across the keyboard. Soon, a satellite picture of Nammu Bay appeared on the screen. The corners of Tamara’s lips lifted, but her smile never reached her eyes.Tamara hacked into the island’s system. Layer after layer of the firewa
Tamara got found.Tamara’s brows knitted tightly together. Still, this was nothing. All Tamara needed to do was exit the system and clean her tracks.Tamara swiftly exited the system. She scanned through the information she found before locking them behind a secured firewall. Once all was said and done, Tamara returned to her room.At the same time, Nammu Bay.Eric was pissed as he watched his men rush to patch up the system’s loopholes. His face twisted with anger, making his scarred face even scarier.“Fuck! Give me a name! Who the fuck broke through our security system! Find them and bring them to me! I want them dead! Fucking dead!” roared Eric.“Boss, we’re trying to track the person down, but they’re good at wiping their tracks. They’re professionals!” One of the men piped up.Eric’s face fell. “So you can’t find them?”“No…no sir…” stuttered his men.“You’re all trash!” Eric stomped out of the room. He almost bumped into Andrew on his way out.Andrew narrowed his eyes
Tamara widened her eyes at Kate. “You…”Ma’am?This woman was Master’s wife?Why didn’t she know about this?Kate noticed Tamara’s shocked expression. A faint smile finally broke out. “I’ve been married to your master for five years, but we’ve kept it low-key. Of course, Seb knows about this.”Tamara immediately went up to Kate. “Are you really Master’s wife?”Tamara greatly amused Kate. “I have no reason to lie to you. But if you really need the proof, I don’t mind showing you our marriage certificate.”Tamara shook her head. “There’s no need. I was just shocked. I never once doubted your words. But the two of you sure are good at keeping your relationship a secret.”Five years…Tamara first met George three years ago. Throughout their time together, he never did anything but teach her about medicine, and after the lesson was complete, he would simply disappear.Tamara finally understood George’s disappearance. He must have gone home to accompany his wife!Tamara took a sea
Kate scoffed, “George has a holier-than-thou mindset. Don’t tell me you have never noticed that?”Tamara pursed her lips. There must have been a misunderstanding between Kate and George, or there wouldn’t be such weird tension between them.“Since you don’t believe me, Ma’am, I’ll call Master now.” Tamara noticed her words had fallen on deaf ears, so she pulled out her phone.Kate continued to smoke her cigarette as she watched Tamara. The latter took out her phone and made a call.The call connected.“What’s wrong, Tammy?” came George’s gentle voice. Tamara glanced at Kate before answering, “Please don’t go to Nammu Bay, Master. Tell me what you’re looking for. I’ll send someone in your stead.”George was surprised. “The ingredient is hard to find. Your men wouldn’t be able to find them without medical knowledge.”Tamara hurried to say, “There must be a photo of them somewhere, right? Nammu Bay is a mess right now. It’d be easier if my men went instead. You should stay here t
The next morning.Tamara went to the hospital and headed straight for the lab. George handed her a photo of the missing ingredient.Tamara glanced at it. “I’ll send someone after it now.”Sebastian’s men weren’t the only ones who went to Nammu Bay. Some of the Moore family’s men had also tagged along.George said sternly, “This herb looks similar to another type of herb. Your men must be very careful in identifying them.”“Got it,” nodded Tamara.She sent the photo to her men before leaving for James’ ward.Her main role right now was to keep watch over James. Even if George wasn’t leaving for the island, Tamara was scared James would find out about George’s research.Who knew James was in cahoots with Adrian?Adrian was also the one who was hell-bent on killing Margot.Tamara stopped in front of the dreaded ward. She recollected herself and put on an emotionless mask.James was eating his breakfast. When he saw her, a gentle smile immediately slid across his face. “Have you
Tamara’s body went rigid. She shut her eyes and gritted her teeth. She could no longer push down the hatred she felt for James.The hands by her side clenched and unclenched. She repeated the action a few times before she managed to get her emotions in check.Tamara turned around and stared blankly at James. “What do you want, James?”The corners of James’ lips curled into a smile. “I want to get married to you, but I’m still recovering. Fret not! I’ve already prepared a few wedding plans. Have a look at them!”James took a file from the cabinet and handed it to Tamara.Tamara pursed her lips and walked over. She took the file from him and flipped through it, noting that the pages were littered with photos from various weddings.Tamara skimmed through it and randomly pointed at one. “This one.”James glanced at it and nodded. “This one? Okay! It looks romantic. We’ll plan our wedding according to your liking.”Tamara kept her silence.There wasn’t a single wedding plan she lik
James spied on Margot!Since he knew Benjamin and Margot were going to Nammu Bay, would he bring harm to them?“James…” started Tamara, but she was at a loss for words.James chuckled, “I have no intention of hurting them, Tamara. Even if I know they’re going to get the antidote. But do you think it will be easy to find? Do you think I will let you succeed?”Tamara pursed her lips and stared at James coldly.James continued, “My men have already destroyed the antidotes. If you really want them, you have to obey me.”Tamara tightened her hold around her equipment.She wanted to kill him with it.No! She couldn’t!Tamara shut her eyes. “Margot has a bone to pick with the Lane family. I suggest you stay out of it.”“I won’t intervene,” grinned James. “After all, not everyone has the guts to kill another human being.”Tamara snorted but said nothing.She thought to herself, “You’re one to talk.”James noticed the disdain in her eyes, but he didn’t care about it. No matter how
