Tamara furrowed her eyebrows but said nothing.She knew that her words would fall on deaf ears anyway.As the evening wore on, the sea turned a captivating shade of golden orange, casting a spell on all who gazed upon its enchanting beauty.The waves hit the sand rhythmically.Tamara narrowed her eyes and stared out into the sea.Sebastian was on the other side of the sea.“You’re thinking about him,” came James’ cold voice.Tamara shrugged, “I love him.”“I’ll allow you to love him for another day. But from tomorrow onwards, your body and soul belong to me and me alone,” ordered James.Tamara sneered mockingly, “You’re a greedy asshole, James.”This wasn’t the first time Tamara had insulted him.But James was really greedy and wanted everything for himself.He threatened her and forced her to marry him, and now he was demanding to have all of Tamara.Was he fucking serious?James pursed his lips. He could clearly sense Tamara’s mockery. His gaze darkened. “It’s human nat
James saw the hatred in Tamara’s eyes. He laughed without warning. “I wonder if this was how your father threatened your mother back then.”Tamara gritted her teeth and released James. She gave him a cold stare.She will not go down her mother’s path.James smoothed over the creases. “Let’s head back.”Tamara turned and left for the car. She did not spare another glance at James.Back at the hotel, Tamara took out her room key and opened her door. James pushed the door open just when she was about to slam it shut behind her.Tamara stared blankly at him. “Fuck off.”James returned her stare. “Let me in.”Tamara cracked her knuckles.“I don’t wish to fight you, James. Don’t push your luck,” said Tamara through gritted teeth.Just another day, and she would get the antidote. Better yet, the lab would make the antidote.Tamara had to stay rational. James observed Tamara’s hate-filled face. His face fell. “You will be my wife tomorrow, Tamara. Why are you still like this? Do you
“Yes,” complied Tamara’s men.She hung up the phone and shut down her laptop.She stood up and went to the balcony. Tamara stared out into the sea.Fear and worry etched her face as she thought of the danger Sebastian was in, along with her concern for Benjamin and Margot.The latter two had disappeared once they arrived at Nammu Bay. Neither the Lane family nor the Zimmerman family could find them.Tamara was in the same boat as them.This was a disaster.Time ticked on, and it was finally nighttime. The dark sea swallowed the last trace of orange. Tamara returned to her room and waited for the news patiently.It was 10 pm when someone came to knock on her door.The corners of Tamara’s lips twitched. She stood up and went for the door. She smiled when she saw who it was. “Let me put on some makeup for you.”The person nodded, and Tamara took out her makeup purse.After half an hour, Tamara went to knock on James’ door.James opened the door and was shocked to see Tamara st
Tamara’s brows knitted tightly together. Although she knew James would come, she still found herself sneering, “Didn’t you say the groom and the bride shouldn’t meet before their wedding? Why are you being such a hypocrite?”James observed Tamara, who was in her wedding dress. His smile softened, “I just wanted to see you.”Tamara turned her attention back to the mirror and huffed, “Are you done?”James chuckled, “Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today, Tamara?”She was even more pissy than usual.Tamara muttered dryly, “Congratulations. You totally got it right. Now get out. I need to put on my makeup.”James nodded, “I’ll wait for you outside.”James closed the door again.Just then, Tamara’s phone buzzed. She picked it up and smiled at the screen.She put down her phone and took her makeup brush. She grinned at the person in the mirror, “Are you ready?”“It’s all set,” muttered the person.“Then let the show begin.”…It was almost time for the start of the
The crowd gasped at the bride’s refusal. Was the bride trying to ruin the wedding?While the crowd was still in shock, the bride suddenly aimed a gun at the groom.Shouts and cries immediately erupted from the crowd. Some of them even started crying!James’ eyes darkened, and he glared at the veil-covered face harshly. He could see some glimpses of the face underneath it. The bride was Tamara.All of a sudden, the bride tore off her veil, and a familiar face came into view.“Helena Custry!” James gritted his teeth. He couldn’t believe that the bride was Helena!Helena had put on layers of makeup to disguise herself as Tamara. She sneered at James, “I bet you had never expected me to wake up.”“You were Evelyn!” James hissed at Helena. He should have been more thorough with his investigation yesterday!Damn it! He was so close!Helena’s gaze burned with hatred. “You demon! You tortured Jessica to death! She didn’t even know why she had to die! She was your fiancée, for goodness
James stared at the unfamiliar face. Although Tamara had deliberately disguised herself, James could recognize her from a mile away.Despite their icy demeanor, her eyes smoldered with intense hatred.James smiled, saying, “Maybe you should wash off all that makeup before talking to me, Tamara.”Tamara quirked an eyebrow. “Are you out of your mind?”That was his concern? There was a gun aimed at him, for goodness sake!James shrugged, “I might accidentally kill you if I stare at that face of yours for too long.”Tamara snorted, “Don’t be ridiculous. I’m the one who has the upper hand.”Tamara waved her gun before aiming it at James again. She cocked the trigger.James narrowed his eyes. “If you kill me, you won’t be able to get the antidote.”Tamara laughed mockingly, “Sorry to burst your bubble, but I’ve already found the antidote.”The text she received back at the dressing room was from George. He had informed her of their success in coming up with the antidote. Her family
James tore the gun away from Tamara’s hands and threw it aside.“You!” Tamara was furious. She punched James in the chest, but the bulletproof vest only brought pain to her.James’ gaze softened. “Come on. Don’t be like that. This is my specially-made bulletproof vest. It would only hurt you if you hit me.”Tamara put on an indifferent look. He might be wearing a bulletproof vest, but what about his lower body?Tamara kicked him where the sun didn’t shine.James’ face twisted in pain.Tamara focused all her attention on James’ lower body. James, however, focused his attention on Tamara’s upper body.Even though he was heavily wounded, his actions did not affect his performance. If anything, it only spurred him on.Tamara was shocked by his pain tolerance. She had to put her defenses up!James slammed Tamara into the ground. As soon as Tamara’s body hit contact with the floor, it let out a loud bang.James sighed at Tamara, “I know you’re good at martial arts, Tamara. But you’
There was a bloodied head inside the box!James saw Tamara’s discomfort and smiled twistedly, “That head belongs to Sebastian!”Tamara couldn’t bring herself to look at the box. She shook her head in denial. “No! It can’t be Sebastian!”James smiled through his pain. “I wanted to save this for our honeymoon, but I’m fucking pissed that you didn’t let us finish our wedding…”The scented tea leaves were losing their effects. James’ pain had been significantly reduced.He slowly limped closer to Tamara and ordered his men to release her. He pulled Tamara up by her hair.Tamara hissed out in pain and was forced into a kneeling position.James tilted her head up and stared darkly at her, “You disappoint me, Tamara.”James kicked the box away. “Since you refuse to marry me, you can join him in hell.”With that, James wrapped his hands around Tamara’s neck and started choking her.The pain around Tamara’s neck was too much for her. She was finding it hard to breathe as she gasped fo
