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
It was the DNA report. It showed that Margot and Andrew weren’t related.Margot stared at the report in shock. She wasn’t Andrew’s daughter?She thought, “But wasn’t this how web novels usually turn out?” Andrew noticed the shock on Margot’s face. He sneered, “Seems like your calculations were wrong. You thought your mother was a good woman? Haha! She was a fucking whore! She definitely did not give birth to my child!”Margot pursed her lips and gave Benjamin a look. They were fucked.Benjamin was also not expecting things to turn out this way.But if Margot wasn’t Andrew’s child, why did she have the same surname as him?He remembered the director at the orphanage said that Margot’s name was attached to her when they found her at the orphanage’s doorstep.Because of this, they thought Margot’s father was named Zimmerman, and since Andrew had some history with Margot’s mother, it was only natural to think Margot was related to Andrew.But they were wrong.Andrew snorted at t
Thomas said, “Mommy, when will you and Daddy come home?”Caleb muttered, “I miss you, Mommy.”Melanie whined, “Mommy, Daddy, I miss you so much.”…The three children had sent Tamara some voice messages. Tamara felt her nose prick when she heard her children’s voices.She turned to Sebastian and saw him already staring at her.“Our children are ready for us,” Sebastian muttered lowly.Tamara nodded and composed herself. She replied to her children.It was midnight in Clacton. The children were probably asleep, so they wouldn’t be replying any time soon. Tamara put her phone away.She looked in the direction of the manor. The sun was setting. Evenings at Nammu Bay were long. The sun took a long time before it finally disappeared into the horizon. It was like the sun was struggling not to get consumed by the darkness.“I wonder how Margot and Benjamin are doing?” said Tamara worriedly.Sebastian glanced at the manor. He asked his men about their progress. His men had already d
Joseph furrowed his brows in disgust. He listened closely to the source of the voices before peeking from behind the cupboard.There were two men there, and they were cleaning up Eric’s body in irritation.Joseph climbed out the window and came back in using the door.“When will you be done?” Joseph asked as soon as he walked in.“Soon.” The men didn’t even lift their heads when they answered.Joseph walked over and passed the men some joints. “You sure have it bad. Look at his body. He stinks.”“That’s fucking true. We have killed many people but never once had to clean their bodies. This fucking sucks.”“Hey! Watch it! He was our chief!”“So? He’s fucking dead!”The two men argued among themselves. They lit their joints and glanced at the corpse before turning away again.“How about this? Take a break, and I’ll cover for you,” grinned Joseph.The two men paused. They looked at Joseph. One of them squinted at him. “I have never seen you around.”Joseph chuckled awkwardly,
The living room was quiet. Suddenly, a bodyguard rushed over, panicking. “Bad news! The chief’s body is gone!”“What?” Andrew’s eyes snapped open, and he sprang up. He glared at the bodyguard. “Repeat yourself!”The bodyguard paled. “The chief’s body is gone. When I went over, I saw the two men in charge of the body unconscious on the floor. As for the chief…”“Fuck!” Andrew hit the bodyguard with his staff.The bodyguard fell to his knees, not daring to look up.Andrew’s wrinkled face was shaking with anger. “Get out! Get the fuck out! Find him! If you don’t, then go fucking kill yourself!”The bodyguard nodded and ran out.Soon, all of the bodyguards left the room.Andrew must have gone mad. He shouldn’t have asked his men to leave his side.Joseph, who was hiding in the building, took this opportunity and ran inside.Joseph made himself known to the two remaining people in the living room.“When did you get in here?” Andrew widened his eyes at Joseph, but the latter ignor
Sebastian spoke up, “My men are already looking for them.”The Zimmerman manor was not a big place. It wouldn’t be hard to find two people.Margot and Benjamin were found within record time.When the couple saw Tamara and Sebastian, they grew excited.“Tammy!” Margot rushed toward Tamara and hugged her.Tamara giggled. “You’re fine now.”Margot nodded. She noticed Joseph was smiling up at her from the couch. “What happened to you?”Margot walked up to Joseph. She immediately noticed his injured leg. “You’re injured?”Margot widened her eyes. “Is it fatal? Have they sent for a doctor?”Joseph shrugged. “It’s nothing. Just a scratch.”Margot raised an eyebrow at Tamara.Tamara sighed and explained, “He got shot.”Margot sucked in a breath. “What?”She turned to Joseph. “You got shot? Here?”Margot pointed at his thigh.Joseph groaned. “It’s nothing serious. At least, it’s better than being blown to bits by a bomb.”Margot rolled her eyes.She couldn’t believe he was joki
