“You’ve given in so many times already. You don’t mind doing it once more, do you?” Jayden said, pinching her chin. Then, ignoring the shocked look in Camilla’s eyes, he leaned over and kissed her forcefully.The chaotic kiss was ferocious. It was very different from Jayden’s usual temperament.Camilla struggled, but she was no match for Jayden. Unable to break free from Jayden’s grip, she felt her limbs grow weak as Jayden continued to kiss her.Tears, clear as crystals, streamed down her face. She tightened her grip on the collar of her blouse.She tried her hardest to suppress her feelings and distance herself from Jayden so she wouldn’t be hurt beyond repair.However, everything seemed to be developing in the opposite direction.It didn’t matter if she kept her distance from Jayden or closed the gap. She was always the one who got hurt.When their bodies became one, Camilla gave up on struggling. She lost herself to the feeling.She could no longer suppress her emotions for
Tamara rambled on and on to Alex’s gravestone.Sebastian stood on the sidelines, accompanying her silently. A soft breeze blew by, carrying Tamara’s gentle voice away.“Mom, I managed to save Grandma, Uncle Jon, Aunt Cheryl, the quadruplets, and all my three kids. I’m pretty awesome, aren’t I?” Tamara said, then laughed out loud.“I can imagine you singing my praises all day long if you were still here,” she said, remembering fondly. “Back when I was younger, I relied on you so much. Look at how independent and strong I’ve become.”“Mom, I’ve been great recently.”After speaking her mind, Tamara’s smile widened with relief, as if a colossal rock had been lifted from her shoulders. She felt much lighter and at ease.All the nagging, dark thoughts she’d been suppressing in her heart had vanished in an instant.“Let’s go.”Tamara turned back to glance at Sebastian.Sebastian hummed in acknowledgment, then said, “Hold on.” Tamara regarded him curiously. “What’s up?Sebastian we
Tamara was taken aback when she heard that.Elijah Morrison…When Elijah offered her assistance, she turned him down right away. The man did not show up again after that.She couldn’t believe Elijah had returned to Londsville to live out his days.Furthermore, it was clear that the man lived close to the cemetery.Tamara pursed her beautiful lips. After flipping through the document, she realized it was filled with information about James’ business and his backers.It was true that he was working together with the Lane family on Nammu Bay. That was how he got hold of the poison.It was a very detailed document. It showed when James had cooperated with the Lane family, what the terms of exchange were, what industries he was involved with, along with how far and wide his business had spread. Even all of James’ assets were clearly listed.He had approximately 100 million dollars in his name.After Tamara finished reading, she returned the document to the envelope, saying, “This
Tamara’s critiques felt like knives cutting through Elijah’s body. His face paled significantly as he regarded Tamara with an expression filled with guilt.He believed that Tamara might forgive him if he tried his best to make amends for all he had done.However, seeing how things were going at the moment, it was clear that such a thought had been foolish.He could not bring himself to recount the past. Meanwhile, Tamara seemed to be unable to forget what had happened. Even though it had been years, she was still deeply entrenched.It was clear how much he had traumatized her.“I’m sorry…”Elijah apologized weakly. “I’m really, really sorry…”“You’ve never truly understood what you’ve done wrong, have you?” Tamara vented out her emotions. After calming down a little, she said coldly, “You did so many awful things to other people purely based on your false speculations. You were even cruel enough to plan on killing me. I don’t even want to think about how much crueler you were to
Tamara’s vision was blurred. However, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her a short distance away.She was taken aback. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she ran into the figure’s arms and burrowed her head into Sebastian’s chest.Sebastian’s arms wrapped tightly around Tamara’s soft body. He could tell how affected she was. Then, he said in a deep and hoarse voice, “Tammy, you’re not to blame for what happened. Got it?”Tamara hugged Sebastian tightly, and her nose filled with his crisp scent. It was really nice. She felt herself calm down eventually.“Got it.”“Let’s head back, then. Thomas, Caleb, and Melly are waiting for us,” Sebastian coaxed softly.Tamara couldn’t help but smile upon being reminded of her three angelic babies. “Alright.”Her parents had made a mess out of their own relationship. The hatred that was borne out of it was almost stifling. However, Tamara was determined to give her children a happy and perfect childhood.She didn’t want her kids to
Ms. Thompson smiled as she looked at Sebastian and Tamara. “I have too many fond memories here. I’ve watched Young Mr. Lynch grow up here and even watched as he got married and had children of his own. I don’t want to leave.”Tamara blinked her eyes, then leaned her head on Sebastian’s shoulder. Then, she said, “Alright, you can stay and keep vigil over these memories of ours. We’ll come back as often as we can.”Ms. Thompson nodded. “Alright.”Tamara couldn’t help but feel grateful for everything she had. She hugged Sebastian’s arm and leaned quietly on his shoulder.Sebastian prodded her forehead with his nose, then said in a deep, magnetizing voice, “What are you thinking about?”Tamara shut her eyes. “Nothing.”At this moment, in this home that they once lived in, her mind was suddenly filled with old memories.She couldn’t help but laugh before lifting her head to glance at Sebastian. “I’m honestly curious. What were your thoughts about how insistent I was to stay by your s
With that, Tamara drove off.Vanessa watched her car leave and was quick to retract her gaze.With all that money, it was enough to ensure that she lived the rest of her life comfortably.…Tamara arrived at the hospital and knocked on the ward’s door. Upon hearing an answering shout, she pushed the door open and walked in.She entered while removing her sunglasses. When she looked up, she was astounded to see someone else in the ward besides Helena.It was Anthony.What was he doing here?“Tammy, come over here,” Helena urged her over upon seeing her.Anthony got up. “Miss Moore.”He did not dare to meet Tamara’s eyes.Tamara walked over and glanced coldly at Anthony, then looked toward Helena. “What’s going on?”Helena smiled. “I know he’s your bodyguard. He has really impressive combat skills. I’d like for him to be my mentor. I’d like to learn some martial arts to defend myself.”Tamara was taken aback. “You want him to be your mentor?”“That’s right.” Helena nodded.
Tamara’s gentle voice sounded cold. Without sparing a single look at Anthony, she made her way into the elevator.Anthony had never been one to express his emotions. However, at that moment, sadness flashed in his eyes. His expression filled with sorrow, and he felt a strong sense of regret well up inside of him.It felt like the princess he had spent so long protecting had suddenly cast him out of her castle.…Tamara returned to the Moore family’s residence and was met with a chaotic scene.“Alex, where did you go?” Old Mrs. Moore’s voice sounded from the living room. She was frantically searching all over the villa.“Mom, Alex just went out…” Cheryl said in a helpless tone.“She’s mad at me, isn’t she? She doesn’t want to see me, right? I know that I was wrong. I shouldn’t have treated her like that. It’s all my fault…” Old Mrs. Moore’s voice was filled with regret and guilt. She sounded really upset.Tamara hurried into the villa. “Grandma…”“Alex!”When Old Mrs. Moore sa
