However, Eric suddenly stepped forward. He glared sharply at Benjamin. “I only have one question for you. Are you going to finish the wedding?”Benjamin raised an eyebrow at Eric and sneered, “Although the scar on your face makes you look tough, they don’t scare me.”He was not afraid of death.After all that he had been through, the only person he cared about was Margot.Margot grabbed Benjamin by his collar. “Ben…Benjamin?”She widened her eyes at the man. His mannerism and expression were familiar, and Margot was dumbfounded.It was Benjamin’s other personality!That devilishly handsome but annoying Benjamin!He came back!But what did he mean by his words?Before Margot could get to the bottom of this, she heard the familiar sound of shuffling. Then a bunch of people appeared on the doorstep.“What are you waiting for? Kill them! We need to finish the wedding!” Andrew arrived at the scene. He narrowed his eyes cruelly at Margot.Eric furrowed his brows. “Dad, this isn’t
“Put down your weapons. I repeat, put down your weapons, or I will flatten the entire area!” announced someone from the plane. The Zimmerman family was thrown into chaos. Everyone stared at the plane in fear.Andrew’s face fell. “What the fuck is happening? Why is there a bomb-carrying plane? Who the fuck is flying it?”“They’re my men,” grinned Joseph. “Your weapons are no match for us. Where did you get the confidence to go up against us?”Andrew did not know who Joseph was. He aimed his gun at Joseph.“Go ahead. Shoot me. Beware. If you do, I’ll make sure to destroy everything you stand for.” Joseph narrowed his eyes dangerously.Margot looked at Joseph in disbelief. She couldn’t believe he would pull such a reckless move!Andrew was pissed beyond words but was too scared to do anything because of the looming danger above them.“Put down your guns, and let us leave!” Joseph noticed Andrew’s hesitation and yelled immediately.Most of the Zimmerman family were cowards. They pu
“Benjamin…help…I don’t want to die… I don’t…want to die…help me…” Kayla struggled to speak through her pain. She reached a hand out toward him.But Benjamin took a step back instead. He curled his hand around Margot’s that was on the trigger and aimed it at Kayla’s chest.“That wasn’t love, Kayla. That was an obsession. You would harm me just to get what you want. If you loved me, you wouldn’t have laid your hands on me.” Benjamin gave Kayla a cold look. Benjamin was shocked when the memories began to resurface, but his shock quickly gave way to hatred.He hated how cruel Kayla was. He hated her obsession with him.Margot was a light in the dark. She was wild and free, not bound by any rules. But because of him, she had been hurt time and time again. Her light had dimmed tremendously because of it.Margot was his beloved woman.“No. That’s not true. I love you. I really do. That was why I climbed out from the pits of hell. It was so I could see you again.” Kayla bit back her pain
Benjamin spat out a mouthful of blood before getting up. He gave Sebastian a small smile.“Are you okay?” Margot rushed over and scanned Benjamin from head to toe. She needed to be sure that he was safe.Benjamin shook his head. “I’m fine.”Margot relaxed. “That’s good to hear.”Benjamin pinched Margot’s cheeks. He grinned, “Let’s go home, Margot.”Margot nodded excitedly. Finally, they could go home.Kayla was dead. Their biggest threat was dead!The group headed for the door. The plane was still circling the area for any sudden movement.“Don’t move!” yelled Andrew suddenly.The group turned around. They noticed he was holding a remote in his hand and was glaring harshly at them.“If I press this button, the entire place will be blown to bits! I’ll avenge my son!” Andrew waved the remote in his hand.Sebastian furrowed his brows. He spoke into his earpiece. “Scan the area for bombs.”His men complied.Sebastian held Tamara’s hand.Tamara’s breathing quickened. “Are ther
Andrew glared at Margot. “Come here!”Margot bit her lips. “I don’t even know who my mother is. I grew up in an orphanage. How would you even know if I was the spawn of the woman you hate?”Andrew growled, “Because of your stupid face! You look identical to her, for fuck’s sake! And you’re telling me she left you at an orphanage? I fucking knew it! She is a bitch through and through!”Margot glanced at Benjamin. She suddenly had a thought. “You think I’m her daughter? Well, I think I’m YOUR daughter! Do you dare to run a DNA test with me?”“Impossible!” denied Andrew without even giving it a thought.“How can you be so sure?” Margot furrowed her brows at him.“I just know it!” exclaimed Andrew angrily. “That woman can’t possibly give birth to our child. She even showed me proof of her miscarriage!”Margot grew silent.She wondered if this scene was out of a web novel.“Enough with the bullshit! Come here right now, or I’ll blow up this place! And none of you will escape here a
Joseph was adamant about his decision. Even if his feelings for her weren’t as strong as before, he still found himself wanting to protect her from danger.Tamara teared up. She bit her lips and hit Joseph. “I don’t know how to take care of anyone, Joseph! If you want to make sure the family is well-protected, you must come back alive!”Then, she turned to leave with Sebastian.In the car.Sebastian wiped the tears away from Tamara’s eyes. “Don’t cry. My men are already working on dismantling the bombs. They’ll be fine.”Tamara nodded sadly and said, “I know, but I can’t help myself.”Sebastian pulled her into his embrace. He glanced behind him and watched as the manor faded into the background.The couple was taken to a safe location after his men scanned the area for bombs.Even so, if the bombs went off, the entire island would be affected one way or another.The island wasn’t big, to begin with. The large impact would definitely bring devastating effects to it. The entire
Andrew snorted at Benjamin. “Are you trying to provoke me? You? Make fun of me? Do you want to save her? Do you think you have what it takes to save her? You’re in deep shit yourself.”Benjamin stared at Andrew coldly. He sneered, “Didn’t you doubt her identity? Since you despise her mother so much, why don’t you check if she’s really your daughter? If she is, you can still stop this madness. If you continue down this dark path, you will end up exactly like Elijah.”He continued, “You may not know who Elijah is, but the two of you are similar. He tried everything to kill the person who turned out to be his daughter. Isn’t that hilarious?”Benjamin told Andrew about Elijah.He and Margot were clinging to hope at this point. They were praying things would turn out for the better.That was why he told Andrew about Elijah.Margot spoke up as well, “She is my friend. You know her as Mrs. Lynch. She is actually Elijah’s daughter. But because of what Elijah did, she couldn’t bring herse
Margot suddenly realized she was being selfish.She was greedy in wanting all of Benjamin to herself. She never once stopped to think about the other personality’s feelings.She was even prepared to leave Benjamin if either one of his personalities wasn’t in love with her.How could she think like this?Margot grew guilty. She gave Benjamin an apologetic look. “I’m sorry, Benjamin.”Benjamin was confused. “What for?”Margot pursed her lips. She didn’t know what to say. But on second thought, if she didn’t come clean, this would haunt her for the rest of her life.Margot mustered up the courage and told Benjamin everything. “I’m sorry, Benjamin. Your other personality was deeply in love with me. He remembered everything we had done together. That was why I forgot to take your feelings into account. I was even thinking of leaving you if you didn’t love me. I am not an easy girl to deal with, huh?”Margot chuckled, “But I’m too selfish. Even if you don’t love me, at least the othe
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
