Trying on wedding dresses took almost a day, I can't remember how many of the most gorgeous and expensive wedding dresses I've tried on. There are many types of wedding dresses, some are flared and some are tight. Dominic actually had the patience to watch me try on 100 dresses."Sir Dominic, this is the 87th dress. It is studded with luminous crystals at the waist, the design is minimal and elegant."The designer pointed to the wedding dress I was wearing, then introduced it to Dominic in an extremely enthusiastic and proud tone. It seems that this is the dress that makes this designer like the most. And it seems he also guessed Dominic's mind.As soon as I stepped out of the dressing room in this dress, I saw Dominic's whole body stiffen, his gaze fixed on me for a long time, leaving me momentarily confused. I saw him move his lips and whisper something to the designer, and then this dress was chosen.When I look in the mirror myself, I can't help but admire because this dress suits
True to what Dominic had promised, the engagement was really grand, the cathedral was as splendid as a lavish palace and there was a dedicated security force to keep this place safe. Don't say a person can sneak in here, even if an ant wants to come in here without an invitation, it can't.Thanks to that, I also feel a little more secure.Our engagement was called the engagement of the century by the press between a golden bachelor and the lady of a prestigious family. Many people are curious and eager to know how our engagement will be celebrated, but only a few of the households are invited to our engagement. This made people even more interested in the event.For the past week, every day news related to my and Dominic's engagement has been on the front pages of every newspaper, and everyone has been talking about it."I heard the paparazzi took a picture of Esther Joan's wedding dress. Although the picture is very blurry, I have to say it is the most beautiful and luxurious wedding
The great hall of the cathedral suddenly exploded, a few people were crushed by giant flower pots or pierced by glass fragments, fell to the ground and cried for help. People were screaming and running in panic, many rushing out of the cathedral and rushing away. They even get so scared that they forget to call the police.Who would have thought that in Dominic Arnold's engagement there would be a terrorist bomb?When the bomb went off, Dominic was the fastest to react, he jumped at me and shoved me behind a table. Thanks to that, I was completely unharmed by the terrifying explosion."What the hell?" Dominic's eyes flashed with anger, the first time I've seen such intense anger from him. "Ethan, report the situation."Dominic spoke into the mic in his chest, then I saw him pull a shotgun from his hip. I wonder why he took out the gun, who are you going to shoot? But then I realized this was more than just a bombing. That bomb was just Frederick's 'initial greeting' to a more terrible
I felt my head pounding and throbbing, my whole body shaking continuously as if I was playing a dangerous game. The feeling of hangover made me uncomfortable, but I tried to hold it in. I knew I was kidnapped, and I could even guess who the kidnapper was, but I couldn't figure out why he did it.Frederick said he had a surprise gift for me on my engagement but I didn't expect him to kidnap me like that. I really don't understand this man's mind.At this moment, the car that was carrying me suddenly stopped. I was carried by someone on my shoulder and taken somewhere. Because I was covered by a black hood, I couldn't see anything. Moreover, the effect of the anesthetic is still there, so my mind is still dizzy and not really awake.At first I assumed my kidnapper would throw me in a dungeon or some dirty warehouse. But it turns out I was wrong. I was taken to a bedroom and carefully placed on a soft bed.The person who brought me here helped me untie my hands and remove my black headsc
According to Frederick, he met Dominic a few years ago. Although both are arms dealers, Dominic's reputation is much more famous. Meanwhile, Frederick is a novice so no one knows.Frederick has an older sister. His sister is an ordinary accountant and regularly volunteers in the Middle East. Although Frederick was an arms dealer, he always had his rule, which was not to sell weapons to terrorists. A mafia boss once contacted him asking to buy weapons for his organization but he did not agree.A few months later, he bought thousands of expensive weapons and caused a series of terrorist attacks in Israel. One of them took the life of Frederick's sister. His sister, while volunteering in Israel, was unfortunately shot dead."I'm sure you can guess who sold the weapons to that mafia boss. It was Dominic Arnold." Frederick holds a pistol and wipes it with a white cloth.I watched his every move, but my mind was filled with thoughts of Dominic. To be honest, I never imagined Dominic would b
By the time Dominic arrived, the house was empty. He led people to search and discovered Esther's wedding dress."Sir, the Department of Defense just texted me that a recently licensed private helicopter has left our country.""From Frederick Vincent?""Yes sir.""Is it confirmed that my wife is there now?""Sir, it is currently unknown."Dominic coldly pulled out his phone and dialed an unknown number. After a few seconds, the person picked up the phone."Oh, hello?" The sound was loud and turbulent so his voice was a little hard to hear."Where did you take my wife?""Ah, Dominic Arnold? Hi, why do you have my number?" Frederick spoke in a cheerful voice, glancing briefly at the woman who had fallen asleep beside him."Stop messing around. Tell me, what do you want?" Dominic had absolutely no patience when talking to Frederick."God. You're so grumpy. All in all, it's nothing special. Esther Joan said she wanted to travel, and I'm good at it. So I helped her.""She asked you to take
The silence between the two of us made me feel really confused. The way he talked was like he just confessed to me, but I wasn't excited about it at all. So I decisively pushed him back and moved myself to the side."Listen, no matter what happens, I'm not going to like you. I have someone I love.""I know. You love Dominic. But what does that have to do with the fact that I want you to be with me?" Frederick didn't seem to understand."Of course it does. If I'm in love with someone I can't be with someone else, because it makes me feel uncomfortable." I tried to explain to him."So that means you feel uncomfortable around me?""No... I mean... ah what a headache, do you understand what I'm saying after all?"I felt like I was completely powerless to convince Frederick that we shouldn't be together. He has his own reasons and this man is really stubborn and unruly. No matter how much I try to explain, he will do as he says in the end."Okay, just think about my offer. You probably sti
Frederick frowned when he saw a black horse without a bridle and without a saddle galloping toward them. Its speed is extremely fast, it seems that it is out of control so it keeps running off course. The horse handlers seemed extremely frightened and tried everything to bring the horse back."Esther, get out of the way."Frederick yelled and shoved me so hard that I fell to the side. At that moment, I witnessed a horrifying scene. The black horse ran madly towards Frederick causing him to be sent flying into the sky and then fell to the ground with great force.The subordinates were also surprised, but they quickly reacted, pulling out their guns and shooting the horse dead. That's the only way to keep it from harming anyone further.Frederick was hit by a horse and was seriously injured. His head was bleeding profusely, his stomach was bruised, and many bones were broken. Despite his severe injuries, Frederick was not completely unconscious. He gasped, every time he breathed like th
The very next day, the entire media covered the news regarding Kaylin Joan's past. Videotapes of her bullying her sister, Esther Joan, have sex with multiple men, even with other people's husbands. There are tapes so rare that Kaylin himself may not know it exists.After that, a series of posts accused Kaylin of living a fake life, disdain for fans, and brazen.It seems that all public opinion is pointed at Kaylin. Right now, at Kaylin's house, she was frantically smashing things, roaring like a madman."Who? Who harmed me? I knew right away that when that bastard Esther returned, misfortune would find me again."Kaylin bit her lip, scratched her head, and threw a ceramic vase at the door. Baldric, who was standing outside, heard this and quietly backed away. Kaylin had been so mad for several hours, he dared not enter the room. He knew Esther was forever an existence that made Kaylin insecure.After throwing everything in the room for a while, Kaylin angrily grabbed her phone and mad
The aroma of bone broth rose, I put some coriander leaves and pepper in it, then stirred it up. The taste was not bad, I happily scooped the soup into a bowl. Kenelm is running indoors and playing with the dog we bought him last week."Dominic, Kenelm, it's time for lunch."I called out to them softly, Dominic came out of the study, picked up Kenelm and made fun of him, and then we sat down to dinner.It has been six months since the shipwreck, people are spreading a lot of rumors regarding it. But no one knows the truth.At that time, Dominic asked me if I believed him, then he dragged me into the sea. I really thought I was dead, unexpectedly, when I woke up, I was lying in a clean room.Dominic lay in the bed next to him and was bandaged by the doctor. Many others were also saved. It turned out that Dominic's father Donald soon received his son's news and drove a giant submarine. All the people who jumped into the water were brought into the submarine by the Arnold family subordina
Six months later...Kaylin Joan and Baldric Herrington were walking together happily. They have been married for more than a year and have become a couple admired and followed by young people. Their social media accounts are always filled with intimate and happy photos.Currently, Kaylin is already a celebrity, representing people with disabilities, inspiring people. She was very good at acting, and in all these years no one had suspected that she was pretending to be friendly. As for Baldric, he doesn't have a job, he is a rich young man with a lot of money to spend, so every day he just carries bags for his wife.Today, Kaylin and Baldric were walking down the street, everyone noticed them and took pictures. Kaylin felt so proud and happy, she grinned and waved goodbye to everyone.Moments later, Kaylin and Baldric entered a cafe together."I'm tired of those crazy fans." Kaylin pouted."Don't be mad, it's thanks to them that we're famous, isn't it?" Baldric coaxes Kaylin."Hey, shh
My son and I waited in the room for a long time, there was no movement outside, which made my heart feel even more anxious. The tired Kenelm fell asleep in my arms, the boy was still innocent and didn't know what danger was."Esther, I finally found you. We have to get out of here fast. Can't wait any longer." Frederick rushed into the room and spoke in a panicked voice."What's wrong? What's the matter?" I frantically took Kenelm in my arms and ran after Frederick."The boat is about to depart for the mainland.""How can such a small boat be enough for hundreds of people?" I wonder."Just us leaving. As I promised, I'll save you and Kenelm."I stopped, my face full of bewilderment. Dominic's enemies have reached this yacht and want to kill everyone?"No, I have to find Dominic.""Are you crazy?" Frederick pulled my arm back. "My boss has gone crazy, he wants to kill everyone, including him. Now you go find him, it's like you give your life for him to kill.""But I can't just leave Do
As soon as Dominic and Rory took Kenelm out of the yacht's grand lobby, I found them."Oh Esther, I keep worrying about you." Rory let out a breath when he saw me.I nodded at him to show I was fine, then took Kenelm from his hand. The boy woke up and bewilderedly asked me what happened. I could only reassure him and hug him tightly."Dominic, I overheard Frederick talking on the phone with his boss just now. Looks like they're planning to sink this yacht, only their subordinates will leave in a boat."I hurriedly explained Dominic. His face was contemplative, and his mood seemed tense."Besides, their boss..."Before I could finish my words, the sound of a helicopter in the distance sounded. We all looked up at the pitch black sky at the same time and saw the flashing lights from the helicopter."Is the lifeguard coming to rescue us?" Rory wondered."No, it is not." I immediately denied it. "The boss of those attacking us.""Really? What made him come here in person?" Rory frowned su
In the main hall of the yacht, everyone is handcuffed and blindfolded. I walked next to Dominic, feeling my heart beat faster and faster in my chest.I'm missing Garrick so much now, I wonder what the hell happened to him. Vivian says he's dead, this is not necessarily true, but does not rule out the possibility that his life is in danger. A few days ago I texted Garrick that I was on the yacht with Dominic and we've made up now. But he didn't reply.At the time, I didn't think much of it, just assumed he wasn't happy when I got back with Dominic. So I didn't text him anymore, I intended to wait until this trip was over when I would meet him and talk properly. Unexpectedly, bad news about Garrick came, which proved that he didn't respond to my messages not because he didn't want to but because he couldn't."Don't worry too much." Dominic whispered to me.I nodded, but deep inside I couldn't control the feeling of uneasiness. Fortunately, I saw Kenelm now, lying obediently beside Rory,
The water slowly rose to my waist, while I grew impatient with untying my bound hands. My wrist was sore and scratched, and a few streaks of blood had oozed out. I tried to calm myself, thinking about my family. With great difficulty, I was able to convince myself to forgive Dominic and accept to build a new family with him. I am not willing to die in this place, how can my little Kenelm live alone without a mother?I don't know how long it took, when the water level reached my chest, I was able to untie the rope from my hand. Immediately after, I took off the ropes on my body and blindfolded. Only then did I observe the room I was in. This place is like a basement at the bottom of a yacht, there are a lot of machines down here but for some reason they stop working all at once. In there is a machine that continuously sucks back seawater from the outside into the room.I don't understand how these machines work, but I'm not stupid enough to think that these machines are suddenly malfun
Thanks to Kenelm, Dominic and I made up. Rory couldn't help but be shocked when he saw us walking together to the pool."I didn't believe Esther Joan was your wife until now, Dominic. You really look like a happy family on vacation." Rory laughed and said."It's not the same, it's the truth." Dominic corrected.Anyone can tell that Dominic's mood is very good. He, along with Esther and Kenelm, freely swam and played."Dad, what kind of water is that? I want to try it." Kenelm pointed to the cocktail Dominic was holding."No. This is an alcoholic drink, children can't drink it. Wait until you turn 18, you can try it. Now, if you drink it, your mommy will be sad."Kenelm heard Dominic say his mother might be upset if he asked to drink the sparkling water, and Kenelm stopped asking.I stood on the shore and saw the father and son chatting happily, the mood also became comfortable. Gradually, the relationship between us has drawn closer together, become cohesive and strong. For one thing,
I approached the pool, quickly seeing Kenelm sitting on the float and enjoying the water. I gave him swimming lessons when I was at Goderich so I wasn't too worried about him drowning."Esther Joan, is it really you? Last time we met, I didn't recognize you, I'm really sorry."Rory Franh, smiling, approached me and talked enthusiastically. Behind him Dominic was sitting looking at the sea, his face as calm as if we hadn't had any arguments before. Seeing that he wasn't paying attention to me, I ignored him too and talked to Rory Frank.But less than a few minutes later, a hand was wrapped around my waist, slightly pulling my body closer to him."Rory Frank, it looks like it's time for dinner." Dominic said.Rory Frank has been Dominic's best friend for many years, how could he not notice the unhappy expression on Dominic's cold face."Oh right. You two and Kenelm will change and go to the restaurant, I'll ask the waiter to prepare." He smiled and left.When it's just Dominic and I, I
