“I’m scared.”He was afraid of the light extinguishing. He was afraid that he would no longer experience the taste of desire, anger, and obsession. He was even more afraid that the person he had been patiently waiting for might end up belonging to someone else.He carried her in his arms under the bright moonlight and tirelessly climbed up the hilltop. Harmonia leaned against his chest, and her even breaths indicated that she had entered a deep slumber.As he looked at her, his gaze was gentler than the moonlight. “Young lady, I touched the moon for you. It told me that your wishes made on shooting stars have already come true.”-Meanwhile, in the presidential suite at Janloon Hotel. “Mr. Terran, I still couldn't find out FMYL’s identity. Even the phone number he used for registration is untraceable,” Hunter said as he paid attention to the changes in Absalom’s emotions. Absalom was so angry that he grabbed the landline phone on the table and threw it fiercely. It crashed int
“Mr. Terran!” Hunter exclaimed, “What happened to you?! I'll arrange for a doctor to come right now!”After saying that, Hunter hurriedly tried to take out his phone to make a call. Absalom lowered his gaze and forcefully knocked Hunter’s phone out of his hand.“Listen to me. If anyone other than you and me finds out about today's events, I will make sure that your own family is buried with you!” Absalom said sternly. Hunter nodded vigorously, “Mr. Terran, please rest assured. I've been working with you for many years, and I know the importance of keeping things confidential. I won't leak a word about this matter.”Absalom looked up, glanced at him, and then patted his shoulder several times. “Hunter, I'll remember this favor.”Hunter was so frightened that his legs were already weak and his shoulders were slumped. He shook his head repeatedly, “Mr. Terran, you’re being too serious.”Absalom wiped away the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. He w
Absalom’s gaze immediately fell on the floor beside him. Hunter had already thrown all the shredded paper into the shredder, completely destroying all evidence. Absalom’s bodyguard, Wayne’s voice came from outside the door.“Mr. Terran, Mr. Nathan Xander, the largest jade boss in Janloon, and his daughter are here.”Hunter opened the door of the presidential suite. Nathan looked at Absalom, who exuded a strong aura as he sat on the black sofa. He smiled and led his daughter, Lulu, into the presidential suite.“Mr. Terran, this is my daughter, Lulu Xander.”Absalom glanced at him and asked, “What's the matter?”“Mr. Terran, I know about your reputation in Nilus City, and I know you have extraordinary abilities. But as the saying goes, it’s difficult for even a capable person to deal with evil forces entrenched in their own territory. You will not be able to accomplish any difficult things without my help in Janloon.”Absalom sneered, lowered his crossed legs, and slammed them down
The number of moons increased, and the more she picked it, the more she was enveloped in the moonlight. However, he was even brighter than all the moonlight. “Young lady, I’ve touched the moon for you. It told me that your wishes made on shooting stars have already come true.”Harmonia woke up from the dream, feeling a sudden warmth on her cheeks. How could the moon be touched? How could he touch it for her? Her wish hadn't been fulfilled either.Harmonia became more awake. Indeed, it was just a dream. Just as she was about to get up, she realized something was off. She lowered her head and looked at the long legs with nowhere to rest. She had actually slept in his car, using his legs as a pillow, and even the coat covering her belonged to him. She panicked for a moment and tried to sit up cautiously. But as soon as she moved a little, his arm held her down, returning her to her original position. “You’re awake?” He said, lowering his head and naturally reaching out his hand t
“I…”A burst of excited shouts suddenly came from outside the car! “Miss Marsh, we found a good stone in the mine! Mr. Duncan took a look at it and said that it might meet your standards! He asked me to ask you to come down to the mine to take a look!” Harmonia shifted her gaze outside the car window and saw a miner in an old sweatshirt walking toward the luxury car.She pushed open the car door immediately, got out, and looked at the miner who was sweating profusely and smiling happily.“Miss Marsh, please come into the mine and take a look! You’ll definitely be satisfied with this stone!” Upon seeing Harmonia, the miner spoke even more warmly and handed her a brand-new safety helmet. Harmonia nodded, took the helmet, thanked him, and followed the miner toward the mine entrance. Just as Harmonia was about to step on the stones to enter the mine, she lowered her head and saw a gentleman’s hand about two to three centimeters away from her waist.Harmonia noticed the redwood be
This… Was this blood?She trembled as she touched his neck and heaved a sigh of relief the moment when she felt his pulse. He still had a heartbeat; he was still alive!“Dimas, wake up! Can you hear me? Dimas, open your eyes and look at me! It’s me, Harmonia!” She kept trying to wake him up as she called his name and continuously pushed the stones off his body. When there was the last stone remaining, she clenched her teeth and tried to push it away with all her strength. However, no matter how hard she tried, that stone on top of him would not budge at all. All her nails broke, and an intense pain shot through her fingertips. This was accompanied by despair and helplessness engulfing her internal organs!“Dimas, you can't die… You can’t die…” She sobbed and saw drops of fresh blood falling from the corner of her eye. “You promised to protect me, so how can you die?!” His extremely weak voice sounded—Harmonia heard it. “Are you injured?” He asked her.“No, I'm not injured
Harmonia looked up, only to see Absalom. She tried to walk around him without hesitation, but he grabbed her arm firmly. “Let me go, Absalom!” She attempted to shake off his grip.Absalom frowned, looking displeased. He had stayed by her side for a whole day and night, yet her first words upon waking up were to call for Dimas, and her first action was to go find him?“Should I let you go so you can find Dimas?” His voice was particularly cold.When Harmonia heard the word ‘Dimas’, she hurriedly asked, “How is he? Is he awake?”Absalom felt irritated and panicked when he saw Harmonia’s anxious and worried expression. He could not imagine what her attitude toward him would be like if she found out that Dimas was the one who had saved her. She might be even colder and more indifferent than she was now. Absalom had no intention of answering her repeated questions. When Harmonia saw this, she tried to push him away so that she could go and look for Dimas herself. But the next mome
Her fair skin was exposed to the air, glowing with enticing redness.He smiled menacingly and said, “We should have consummated our marriage five years ago.” A moment ago, he was on the verge of rage, but she remained calm, unflustered, and unafraid.But now, the man in front of her made Harmonia feel as if she did not know him at all. A burst of sudden panic for no reason made her feel desperate. She kept struggling and begging for help. “No! Don't touch me!”Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let her tears fall. His movements stopped. He looked at his own hands—the hands that had torn her clothes.‘Absalom Terran, what the hell are you doing?!’He stood up, took off his suit jacket, and covered Harmonia with it.His rationality, which had been momentarily devoid, returned completely at this moment. He turned around and punched the wall hard. Bang!Just then, the door to the ward burst open. “You scoundrel, damn it! What are you trying to do
