Helma and Cole had shared a moment of intimacy before, but it had been a one-time thing since their divorce. She was not used to seeing this intense, masculine side of him—his hand working the buttons at his neck, his deep gaze holding her captive. His eyes were like a storm, dangerous yet irresisti

His sweet words made Helma chuckle, but she could still see that Cole tried not to touch the hangers while hanging up his jacket.However, it was impossible for them to buy a house to stay in Sandy Town—it would be too attention-grabbing.Cole went into the bathroom to take a shower. Helma looked at
She screamed and took a few steps back in fear.Sophia had her back against the balcony that reached her waist level. Sophia's upper body leaned back…Jordan's eyes sharpened. He instantly turned and leaped over to her balcony—it was more than one meter between the two balconies—and grabbed Sophia's
Helma locked the door after she came out of her bedroom.Sophia's room was next door, and Jordan's was on the outermost side. Both their doors were open. Helma called for Sophia, and Jordan heard the call and walked out.It was hot in Dunch during the day, and the sun was blazing.Helma found a res
With everyone else keeping mum, Silver Obsidian cut to the chase, "We'll go with Helma's plan."For six months straight, Serena had practically lived in the lab. At first, Starlight Blossom did not seem to do much. Everyone was on edge, wondering if it would make any difference at all. Then, in the

Under the questioning eyes of the crowd, Helma fired up her laptop and plugged in a USB stick.The video started playing on the massive screen.The timestamp in the corner showed it was from two nights ago.Usually, the lab was locked up tight after hours, and by eight or nine, the research center w

The poor thing's symptoms were straight out of a horror flick: muscles clenching like crazy, nerves on fire, bleeding inside, gasping for air, and foaming at the mouth. Some of them even had their hearts stop cold turkey.According to the timeline, the rat had been juiced up with three rounds of Sta
With the report out of the way, the experiment team kicked things into high gear to wrap up their project.The meticulously calculated data was in, and the verdict was clear: Starlight Blossom's effects were rock-solid stable. The only thing left for the lab mice was one final shot.The brain trust
"Come on, you think the boss is scatterbrained like you? Someone totally did this on purpose!" "Who would do something that evil?!" "Guess we're gonna have to push back the presentation." Everyone looked like they had lost their best friend, except Wendy. She had this worried frown, but her eyes w
After pulling two all-nighters, Helma had the report materials ready to go.The research center was deserted.She stretched, yawned, and glanced at the clock. One AM.She powered down her computer and left, still yawning.Once she was gone, a sneaky figure slipped into the office...Deputy Commander
