“I wonder if my sister has a place for me in her heart, then?”Hector called her his sister just like he did when they were young, and even the tone was exactly the same. It carried the same gentleness with a hint of reluctance, but there was an undeniable indulgence in his tone.“Of course!” Harmonia still answered without hesitation.“In that case, I… I can rest assured.”Hector didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he simply pretended to be on a phone call, which became the best disguise.He then continued, “I know that with Dimas's status, you two need to endure a long battle in order to be together. So, you don't need to worry about Nilus City. What I can do for you is to ensure you have no worries.”Harmonia whispered, “Thank you, Hector.”“You apologized to me just now and now you're thanking me?”“I'm just trying to be polite.”Hector chuckled again and said, “Mom and Dad know that we're back. They dropped everything relating to the tea business and rushed back. Mom
The couple never expected this.Hector, who had always been exceptionally attentive toward his daughter since childhood, turned out to have feelings for her that were more than the feelings a brother should have for his sister.“I wonder which man stole Monia's heart? She’s truly a brat that’s always causing trouble!”“Could it be… Dimas?” Ginevra became nervous and quickly looked at Safan.Safan shook his head, “How could that be? Dimas is busy opening up the Green Tea market in Dairkth, so when would he have time for romantic affairs with our daughter?”“So, Monia and Dimas don’t stand a chance?” Ginevra asked again.“It seems that way,” Safan replied.Ginevra sighed and said, “She fell for Absalom, which was an absolute mistake, and now, after finally climbing out of it, she’s falling into another trap?”“Falling into a trap? Although that bratty girl always causes trouble, how could she not have learned from her mistakes?” Safan reassured Ginevra.“In that case, is her cur
Before she knew it, countless reporters swarmed toward her from everywhere!The bustling expressway rest area was suddenly overcrowded with people!Interrogative questions came fast and furious from all directions…“Miss, do you have anything to say in regards to becoming Ms. Kenwood’s competitor?”“Given your status and background, what do you have in you to rival Ms. Kenwood?”“Were you already aware of Mr. Martinez’s identity, which was why you desperately sought his support before he flew back? Is that your real motive?”Amidst the crowd of reporters, Harmonia spotted Nara standing inside the lounge.She was watching her through the windows with a cup of coffee in hand, eagerly anticipating the scene that was unfolding.That was when realization dawned on Harmonia.As it turns out, Nara had been behaving herself throughout the entire journey just to wait for her right here?The reporters continued cornering Harmonia with their eager questioning, the lights of their camera
She put on an expression of anger, feeling smug inside about the prospect of scaring him.Dimas stopped in his tracks, blocking her from going forward.His eyes turned dark as he gazed at her.“Don’t block my way, Dimas Martinez. Step aside!”Was she throwing a tantrum? Could she get any more adorable than this?At the next moment, he “obediently” stepped aside.Harmonia was about to take a step in the direction of the lounge when, to her surprise, he grabbed her wrist.She looked up at him with arched brows. Before she knew it, he hauled her up into his arms at the next instant!“Dimi!” Harmonia instinctively yelped as her eyes widened in shock.He chuckled wickedly as his handsome face drew near to her exquisite features, whispering into her ear in a low, hoarse voice.“I was wrong.”A glint flashed past Harmonia’s bright eyes as she burst out into a chuckle.She then puffed her chest up and said arrogantly, “Do you admit your mistake?”He nodded. “Ms. Marsh, forgive me,
Harmonia ignored her completely as she said, “Dimi, hug me tight. I feel a little cold.”Her sweet voice was so tender and mesmerizing.Dimas did exactly as he was told. “Do you still feel cold?”“I feel a little better than before.”Dimas hastened his footsteps and walked past Nara.Nara looked at him and called out, “Dimi… I want to talk to you.”Dimas stopped in his tracks.Nara looked smugly at Harmonia.“I’ve nothing to say to you,” Dimas said as he carried Harmonia into the lounge.The smug expression on Nara’s face froze. Some might have even mistakenly thought that her face had frozen over because she was wearing too little.Harmonia looked at the anger simmering in Nara and thought she should give her a taste of her own medicine.She deliberately rested her chin on Dimas’ shoulder and waved at Nara.Nara’s originally frozen face became even stiffer. She gritted her teeth in anger and turned to return to the lounge.Harmonia asked in a soft voice, “Dimi, is it real
They were unable to open the door to the lounge! Harmonia turned around and looked at Rio, who was seated in a corner.“Ms. Marsh,” Rio greeted her with a nod before chuckling. Harmonia stepped forward to take a closer look and realized that Rio was tampering with the digital lock.He remotely controlled the digital lock and messed up its internal code to lock them all out.Nara was in big trouble this time.She was neither able to enter the lounge nor retreat elsewhere to safety. To make things worse, she was wrapped only in a thin jacket…The temperature outside had dipped to -4 Fahrenheit.Harmonia retracted her gaze and turned to look at Dimas with a sweet smile on her face.Dimas looked back at her, trying his best to suppress the overwhelming love he felt for her although his affections for her were still clear to see in the depths of his eyes.He turned his gaze toward Rio and Jasper.Rio immediately caught on, closed his laptop, and walked toward Jasper.He simply
It was the time display! By the time Absalom had collapsed on the ground and was finally brought away, it was already more than half an hour since he had sent her away in another car out of the town.So… he had been trying to buy her as much time as possible.Harmonia had no idea and couldn’t even bring herself to imagine how he had managed to hold on during that half an hour and how he had managed to resist ten men all by himself.Over the past month, she would never have been able to imagine the scene of that rainy night.Yet now, she was witnessing every single concrete detail through the surveillance footage.She shut her eyes, her mind filled with the content of that letter.“I want to push my luck and ask one more time: Harmonia, can you please trust me? Even just a little.”As it turns out, he was ready to die, which was why he had tried to push his luck.Even though their five-year-long marriage had been a mistake, even if it had been the wrong person from the beginni
Did Micah and the Kenwoods share any relationship?According to what she knew, Micah didn’t come from a prestigious family background. How was he able to persuade so many royalties and nobles to stand on his side?No matter how silver-tongued and capable he was at earning money, Micah Martinez was a proud and arrogant man who thought highly of himself. How could those royalties and nobles possibly submit to him?There was probably another force driving this turn of events…Perhaps the Kenwoods were the culprit behind all these things!And Micah was nothing but a pawn in the Kenwood family’s hands!Now that she thought about it, Micah’s suicide smelled fishy indeed.-Harmonia left the lounge when their time of rest was up.Jasper hurriedly caught up to them.“Fairy Monia! I have the latest news!”“Nara headed to the carpark under the protection of her bodyguards, but reporters continued surrounding her so much that the entire journey that was only supposed to take 15 minutes
