Hector could not understand it. Safan had always been a fair man, but things were different when it came to Harmonia.“I didn’t ask her to do this. Isn’t it tiring and hard?”Realization struck. “You pity Harmonia—”“I didn’t say that!” Safan denied it and felt embarrassed.But Hector did not expose him and just asked, “So, what did you want to tell me here?”“I’ve booked plane tickets for you two. You’re leaving with Harmonia the next morning.”“Monia’s not going to agree to that.”“Then think of something! Why else do I need you for?!”Hector fell silent. After he left the study room, Hector went downstairs. He saw Ginevra sitting alone in the living room and was looking outside anxiously. He looked around and saw no sign of Harmonia. “Where’s Monia?”“She went to the tea booth. But it’s pouring outside, and it’s dark. I’m really worried.” Ginevra grew more worked up. Upon hearing this, Hector also became nervous. “Calm down. I’ll head over right now.”“Alright.”
The man was Blaed Herb!She had already contacted a private investigator to look into all of Blaed’s crimes. The evidence was about to be delivered to her hands, and she was absolutely going to make him rot in jail. But he had actually got out of detention before she could even get the judge to sentence him to prison? It seemed like he had someone powerful supporting him. The rain continued pouring down, and thunder roared. Blaed gestured at them, and the dozens of men charged at them. Hector shielded Harmonia and fought against them. “Run, Monia!”But Harmonia went forward to help with the fighting instead. With a side kick, she made a man who tried to ambush Hector stumble backward. At that moment, Blaed took out a gun, aimed it at Harmonia, and gave them an evil grin. Hector saw it. He quickly grabbed Harmonia’s hand and wrapped his arms around her to shield her. Bang!The bullet went through Hector’s shoulder. “Hector!” Harmonia cried out. She steadied Hector
But Harmonia did not go down the mountain. She ran up instead. She even caused a huge ruckus while on her way up to attract Blaed and his lackeys’ attention. “Over there, Blaed!”Once Blaed and his lackeys heard the noise, they immediately went after her. At that moment, Hector finally understood what Harmonia was trying to do. She was luring Blaed away from him. But that also meant that she had to face the danger herself!What an idiot!“Monia…”Hector gritted his teeth and wanted to chase after her, but after taking a few steps forward, he lost his last bit of strength and fell to the ground. The muddy mountain path became extremely slippery because of the rain. Harmonia missed a step and rolled down a slope!When she struggled to her feet, she felt a gun placed against her head. …It was late, but Harmonia and Hector had yet to return. When Safan and Ginevra arrived at the tea booth, they found that the place was empty, and they could sense that something was w
Absalom wanted to see Harmonia and tell her the reasons behind why he did what he did and ask her for another chance.The moment Absalom said Harmonia’s name, Safan’s anger grew. He ran into the bungalow. When he came out again, he held a whip in his hands. During his younger years, Safan was an equestrian who participated in the Olympics, so he was a master at equestrian events. Safan swung the whip. With a loud crack, it hit the floor. “You have no right to see my daughter!”When Absalom saw the long whip, he showed no signs of fear.In the next second, he threw himself on the floor in front of Safan. It surprised Ginevra. As human beings, they all possessed their own pride that would not allow them to apologize to others easily, much less grovel at someone else’s feet. But someone as privileged as Absalom was actually kneeling down for Harmonia?“If whipping me will make you calm down and let me see Monia, I’m willing to get whipped.”Absalom did not frown. Even if
“I’m… her ex.” Absalom found the last two words to be extremely difficult to get out of his mouth, and he did not sound confident at all when he said them. He had always stood superior to everyone else and had never felt such embarrassment before.Even though they were divorced, to others, an ex-husband should be pretty familiar with his ex-wife’s belongings. If they found other items that could serve as clues, they could immediately have him identify them too. When the police saw that he was healthy and strong, they agreed to let him join the search party. Absalom then saw the mess of footprints along the muddy slope, and he saw at least nine pairs of footprints. He became even more certain that Harmonia and Hector had not just gone missing. This was a kidnapping!Absalom felt his heart leap to his throat, and he clenched his teeth while he clenched his fists. Who would do such a thing?!After walking for around ten minutes, he noticed something: the mud on his shoes se
“She’s not awake yet?” Blaed had a cigarette between his lips. He snarled, “Pour water on her.”“Alright!”Blaed’s lackeys poured water over Harmonia. She frowned and opened her eyes. “Remember me, Ms. Harmonia?” Blaed stared at Harmonia and started whistling smugly. “What do you want?” Harmonia pretended to be scared as she met Blaed’s gaze, but she did not stop moving her hands. Even if the glass shard had already broken the skin on her palms, and her palms were covered in multiple wounds, she endured the pain and continued cutting through the ropes. “Your father has absolutely no sense whatsoever and refused to give me three million dollars as his protection fee. You lack just as much sense as he does and attacked me. You should have asked around and learned that I’m the ruler of Green Town. No one would dare fight me!”Harmonia just found his words hilarious. The ruler? He was not worthy of that title! He was at most an ant!Blaed felt really smug and stepped on one o
Harmonia struggled hard and broke free of the bonds. She then grabbed a glass cup beside her, smashed it, and pointed it at her neck. “Dream on! You’re not getting anything, not my body, and not the money!” She pressed the broken shard into her neck, and blood started seeping out. At that moment, the door to the storage room opened. Bang!One bullet struck Blaed’s gun, and it slipped from his grasp. Bang!The second bullet hit Blaed’s leg. Crash!He fell to his knees in front of Harmonia. Dozens of bodyguards surged inside and subjugated Blaed’s lackeys. Harmonia opened her eyes. In her shock, she saw a man holding a rifle in one hand while he held her wrist in the other. “Ms. Marsh, holding onto that is going to hurt a lot.”“I-It’s you…”Harmonia was not expecting Dimas to show up here. He took away the glass shard in her hand. “Can you stand?”Harmonia nodded. Then, Dimas walked toward Blaed. He had a gentle smile on his lips, but it brought chills down
Dimas smiled.He did not know about other women, but the one before him was particularly wild.The fearless little girl had grown up.…Harmonia was drenched and covered in blood, and it made her uncomfortable.Dimas noticed her discomfort. He immediately asked someone to prepare a room and clean clothes so that she could rest. Then, he left the room.The door clicked shut, but Harmonia remained still. She was still wary because she had just escaped a dangerous situation. Simply closing the door could not put her mind at ease.At that moment, she heard Dimas giving instructions. “Rio, guard the door.”“Understood.”Harmonia was surprised. It seemed like he had noticed her wariness.She did not know if Dimas was good or bad, but at least he would not harm her, and that was enough.Harmonia breathed a sigh of relief. She took the clean clothes and headed to the bathroom.She needed a thorough shower to feel more comfortable and clear her mind.Meanwhile, Blaed was in a roo
