Chapter 126. Kenedy, a Bold Magnate."Wow... I don't remember this mansion ever being so interesting." the man murmured, holding her by the waist."Heavens..." she murmured, embarrassed, covering her body. Then, the man skillfully took off his blazer, placing it over her shoulder.At that moment, Jayden simply shook his head negatively, without any reaction."Sorry!" she spoke hastily, then running to the room, burying herself in the bed with her face on the mattress out of shame. She curled up, disappearing under the blazer of the man who was the same height as Richard."Elizabeth..." Jayden grumbled quietly, as a reprimand."Who is that woman?" he asked, breathless, adjusting his tie."Elizabeth, don't you know her?" he asked surprised."No, I have no idea.""Then, you don't need to know the situation, just follow. I'll show you to your room.""How is my cousin?""The therapist comes tomorrow, but he doesn't remember me or you.""What a situation; he promised me that I wouldn't have
Chapter 127. Jealousy: The Strongest Emotion.Elizabeth simply ignored him and headed to her room, realizing that he was following her."You're a LeBlanc, aren't you?" he asked, trying to start a conversation."And you're Richard's nosy cousin.""Not really, I'm just curious. I arrived at this mansion and see many interesting topics. Is it wrong to want to explore a bit, right?""What did you come here for?""I thought I had come to settle some business, but I'm not sure anymore..." he sighed thoughtfully.Elizabeth analyzed him for a few seconds while he kept his gaze fixed on her eyes as if he were hypnotized."Whatever." she grumbled unwillingly, heading to her room.The therapist examined Richard and helped him stand up. It had been almost four months since he had gotten out of bed to walk, and therefore, he felt a lot of pain in his legs. Ailda could watch from afar, while Beth accompanied Richard in everything.Elizabeth could hardly see him in those moments, and during these da
Chapter 128. Infiltrated Memories"How dare you!" Richard growled, pinning her against the wall, staring at her sternly."Richard..." she protested, feeling tightly held by his arms."How dare you let another man touch you after entering my room, almost naked, accusing me of being responsible for you? What kind of game is this?""Does it mean you care now? Care about my feelings, about how much you're hurting me?" she asked, trying to push him away."Care? I'm not hurting you; you should desire things you can have.""Like my husband?" she asked, staring at him intently, pleading."I'm not your husband.""You are!" she emphasized with both hands on his face, caressing his beard, making him feel something familiar. "Have you forgotten my touches? Don't you remember anything? My kisses?" she asserted, feeling their noses close, then pulled his face with desperation, kissing him. For a moment, he reciprocated, and once again, he felt that familiar sensation, pressing her even harder again
Chapter 129. I Want You Back!That night would be long for Richard with all those papers on his desk and the laptop on the search page. His mind was spinning, and the more he looked, nothing made sense. The only question he had was, if he lived through all of that, why didn't he remember?Elizabeth, on the other hand, was in the room with Ailda after Jayden left and made sure of what Richard was doing. When he returned, he had a calm smile on his face."What's wrong?" Elizabeth asked, tense."Since you said he was being poisoned by her, I decided to react. I placed evidence about his past everywhere. Right now, he is in the office checking everything. If he doesn't remember, at least he will have to see evidence of everything he lived through," he said, eagerly."He somehow has traces of feelings for me that he doesn't recognize, so there is still hope," Elizabeth murmured thoughtfully."Let's go out; Ailda needs to rest."Richard stayed until late in his office until Beth appeared. H
Chapter 130, Hidden." She's looking for you!" announced Elizabeth, but Richard placed his hand over her lips, silencing her, while remaining alert." Richard!" she shouted, looking around, then stopped in front of Elizabeth's door and turned the knob.Elizabeth panicked, trying to move, but Richard smirked; then she realized that the door was locked." Don't make noise," he warned, his breath burning her face."What's happening to you?" she whispered suspiciously. "Do you remember?"He frowned and smiled." No... Not even a trace, except when you slapped me, and I didn't like it at all."Elizabeth relaxed her body, lying down, disheartened." Oh... What a drag! For a moment, I thought you remembered me. It seems I'm not that important, actually no one...""I have no memories, but I have marks. My body is marked by your touch because... When I feel you touch me, I briefly recall something familiar, as if I've touched you before. This isn't random, right?""At least now you have doubts
Chapter 131. Did Elizabeth hit a child?Beth didn't interrupt them; she just stepped back, descended a few steps, and composed herself."― Richard..." she called as if she were going up the stairs, and before she could see, he thought, he moved away from Elizabeth, heading towards Beth."We've finished lunch. Don't you want to take a walk in the garden? Have you finished the call?" Beth asked, feeling her chest tighten."Ah... Yes!" he mumbled, swallowing hard.Elizabeth headed to her room, showing indifference. Even though he was close, it was uncomfortable to know that he didn't remember anything.She stayed in her room for almost the entire afternoon and, as soon as she woke up, staggered out upon hearing some laughter in the corridor. The children were running, playing until the youngest stumbled and fell."Aunt!" the older one shouted, scared, when Elizabeth grabbed the other by the arm, trying to help her get up. "How can you push my sister like that?"Elizabeth frowned, still h
Chapter 132. Dead-end Maze.Richard continued following her as he found himself surrounded by plant walls. He had no idea where he was going, driven by curiosity, he became distracted.Elizabeth didn't notice him as she walked slowly."Is she sleepwalking?" he thought, continuing to follow her until they reached a glass structure.He was surprised to find such a place in the midst of this labyrinth.Finally, Elizabeth snapped back to reality and realized someone was watching her. When she turned around, she met Richard's gaze and his surprised expression."What is this place?" he asked breathlessly."Do you like it? You followed me here..." she sighed thoughtfully."I found it interesting, it would be the kind of place I'd like to have.""You have it, you have it and you have me," she murmured approaching him. "If only you remembered who I am, you wouldn't think I would have hurt that child," she murmured, trying to touch his chest, but he stepped back."I don't want to talk about it,
Chapter 133. When the Medicine No Longer Takes Effect.Elizabeth approached him, observing him suspiciously."Are you sure you don't remember anything?"" I do remember, everything, I have a wife and two children...""Go to hell!" she suddenly shouted, losing her patience. He swallowed hard, not recognizing her."And to make matters worse, you have such an outrageous language, Miss LeBlanc, coming from such a wealthy family, have some manners," he reprimanded as she crossed her arms in a fit."I'm going to send you to hell again, just to be clear, you're not leaving here without me, and for that reason, I don't want to hear about your double life!" she asserted in a seemingly ominous tone.Richard just stood up, throwing the juice and the cookie on the bed, and left. She let him go through the maze alone."Uhm... It's been half an hour," she murmured thoughtfully, tempted to look for him while also being annoyed. But her concern won over, so she followed the maze searching for him. Ho
Chapter 209: The Last Farewell Today at the mansion, everyone was excited, people came and went, both the Campbell and Leblanc families, employees went up and down bringing and taking things. The twins and Gaby were in Elizabeth's room, styling her hair and adorning it with pearl ornaments. It would be the most luxurious party ever seen. Richard and Elizabeth were marrying again, this time officially and grandly, so that everyone could witness this union and celebrate.After so many events, walking down the aisle to meet the man she loved was priceless. As her father led her slowly as if wanting to savor her arrival at the groom."Father?" whispered Elizabeth upon hearing her father's slight sniffle and realizing he was almost crying." Isn't this the second time I'm getting married?"That wasn't a wedding, it was a mistake of your father, right? But now I'm seeing my daughter really getting married, to someone she loves, I'm just a grandfather now." declared Zeus, holding back tears.
Chapter 208: Implications and Departures."You know..." sighed Brian as he saw Emma, who stared at them with disdain." When you don't talk about the devil, he shows up anyway, doesn't he?" he asked seriously.The twins, in turn, got up and went downstairs together, barely noticing that the Leblanc brothers followed them while smiling and chatting."What are they talking about?" whispered Brian. Then, they subtly approached when the twins sat at a table in the cafeteria and stealthily listened."You shouldn't think about it, it was right to throw those coats away at that moment. Besides... Think about it, do men like them have anything good to offer? You saw, they attract the attention of all women all the time." she commented with disgust."But isn't that a good thing?" asked Brian, whispering, astonished."True, you know, men like that are after every woman they can find. There's no value in that, and I say this because they kept staring at us the whole time. We're nothing but toys,
Chapter 207: A Pregnant Woman in a Scorpion NestShe rested her head on those wooden planks, holding her belly, thinking she would be alone at that moment. Besides the risk she was taking by being in an old house in a forest, it was obvious that there were insects and wild animals around. So, she tried to stay still, even more so when she saw an unpleasant insect just inches away, making her spine tingle. After all, how many more were there? She closed her eyes in terror. It seemed that under that house had become a shelter for scorpions. So, she even tried not to breathe, even with panic.At such a critical moment, she truly thought she was going to die, until she heard the door of that old house open abruptly."Oh Heavens... He never fails..." she sighed in relief."Stay still!" Richard asserted upon seeing the scorpions crawling over Elizabeth."Save me... Please..." she pleaded, holding her breath."It's okay... Just don't move." he said, keeping calm and carefully removing the sc
Chapter 206: A Dangerous and Relaxed WalkElizabeth was already nine months pregnant, and with each passing day, she became more anxious. It wasn't because she eagerly awaited the moment to see her daughter, but rather because, after months in that mansion, even with so much entertainment, she was eager and longing to go out and take her last walk alone.The twins were wandering around the mansion's premises, and as usual, they always went to see Elizabeth."You can come in," announced Elizabeth when the twins knocked on the door."Are you going somewhere?" the girls asked, a bit confused to see her already dressed and drying her hair."I'm thinking of making a brief visit to an old place," she said thoughtfully."You're not thinking of visiting someone, are you?" Kemilly asked suspiciously."What are you talking about?" Elizabeth asked, confused."We heard that Taylor is paralyzed, unable to move anything from the waist down. It's a pity for someone so young and handsome.""Why would
Chapter 205: Visiting my former marriageDuring that same period, Taylor was now living with his mother. She took him to her home, even though it was a simple place. Now he had to accept that this was his fate, being completely ignored by his father, who didn't even visit him. Coralie now sat daily in a chair in front of Taylor's bed and dedicated herself to feeding him."Do you know I can feed myself, right? Why do you keep doing this?" Taylor asked, annoyed."And I want to take care of my son, as I never could before," she grumbled as he refused to eat."You don't have to, just leave and let me die. We can't even live in this place, no money, no life, nothing. That bastard who claims to be my father only defends his own interests.""I'm here. Besides, I know how to get money, so don't worry.""How?""Let's just say I made a great friend, even when I was practicing evil," she smiled tenderly. "At least she says she never made a mistake when she chose to trust me.""I abandoned you. S
Chapter 204 - Ambitious and InsistentAs soon as the girls received Elizabeth's message, they didn't think twice before rushing to meet their mother and uncle to share the news and their decisions at that moment.Richard was gathered in the garden with his sister Rayssa and Aloury. The girls talked to their guardians and asked for permission to go with Elizabeth."How come Elizabeth asked you two to go with her?" Richard asked skeptically."Actually, we asked her. We believe we can learn more from someone like her.""Did she say where she's going?"The girls shook their heads negatively."No, actually she said she didn't want you to know.""What am I to her? Is she always going to be avoiding me? Does she think it's fair while dragging my daughter everywhere?" he grumbled annoyed, leaving the twins confused."What do you mean? But if it was your son, why did you let Taylor bother her so much?"At that moment, Richard averted his gaze, showing shame."At first, he implied that baby was
Chapter 203: Things Seem to Be Falling into PlaceRayssa went upstairs to see her sister; Aloury still had no idea that her older sister had been rescued."Do you think she'll be happy?" Rayssa asked, leaning on Richard's arm as he escorted her."You can be sure, just the two of us was a bit lonely.""I heard she married that man, now that I'm back, I'll have to face a divorce while her marriage will be annulled," she sighed thoughtfully."Indeed, it seems our family has a karma related to marriage annulment.""Why? Speaking of which... Elizabeth is your wife, right? Why didn't you bring her?""It's a long story, actually, a story so far-fetched it might take days to know it all," he suddenly commented, remembering the time he was kidnapped.He smiled awkwardly at the thought that it was his grandfather who did that; he was now sure that Rayssa and Aloury's encounter was more dramatic than expected, filled with Aloury's remorse and regret, now that she was lucid. She had awakened from
Chapter 202: Elizabeth's DepartureThe twins eyed each other cautiously, silently communicating with their gaze. Emile nodded in agreement to what Kemilly indicated by looking towards the grand entrance, then turned to his sister."Let's take you, since you can't walk...""No!" Kemilly asserted, using all her strength, pulling her sister and running into the hospital, leaving the two men stunned."What's going on?" Brian asked, furrowing his brow as he watched the girls struggling to run."Interesting, I expected them to jump into our arms instead of running past us..." "Oh... I guess we're quite presumptuous, but perhaps there are really tough women out there in the world," Brian commented, interrupting his brother and suppressing a laugh."Did they make it seem like a game?" Ryuk asked, sliding his thumb over his chin with a light smile, much like Brian.The twins ran to Elizabeth's room, finding her things already packed, feeling disappointed to see her leaving."You're leaving wi
Chapter 201: An Old Problem.She smiled disappointedly, took a deep breath, gathering courage for what she wanted to say."Just forget it, I'm not going anywhere with you. If you think she's not yours, I don't want you to assume a responsibility that isn't yours," she said calmly, not even looking at him."Even if she doesn't have my blood, it doesn't mean I can't love her as a legitimate daughter, Liz... Don't keep rejecting me..." he tried to hold her hand, but she pulled away."Excuse me," Eliza entered the room, interrupting the conversation."I'll let you two talk..." Richard announced, albeit unwillingly."Why are you treating him like this?" Eliza asked, concerned."Because he's stubborn. Clearly, he's doing this out of pity. He wants to accept this child not because he loves me or loves this child, but because he feels sorry for everything I've been through. But the truth is, I've realized that nothing happened between me and Taylor.""What do you mean?" Eliza asked, intereste
