Taya still refused to believe him. Shouldn’t her body show signs if she were pregnant? How could she not feel that she was pregnant? With great effort, she raised her hand and touched her belly, “How do you know that it’s been a month…” George looked back at Amon, knowing that he would not let him tell the truth, so he could only continue to lie to Taya. “Ms. Palmer, I am a doctor, I can tell…” In reality, he just guessed based on the time. Twenty days have pa*sed since Amon brought Taya here. Before bringing her back, she must have been with Griffon, so he just randomly estimated the time. If Taya had told him that they hadn’t slept together a month ago, then he would’ve just told her the truth that he lied to keep her alive. Since she confirmed his beliefs, George knew that he had guessed right. He hoped that his lie would motivate her enough to keep her alive to see Griffon. The only way that could happen is if she stayed alive, right? After George finished speaking, he bent down t
The people in the car were silent all the way to Amon’s villa. When they finally arrived, they discovered it was a very remote, faraway place without even a cell phone signal. Amon ordered the ser vant to carry Taya and Grace into their respective rooms, then took a pack of cigarettes and threw it at George. The two men walked out of the villa together. Amon bit his cigarette, flicked the lighter, and helped George light his cigarette first before lighting his. The two of them puffed out the smoke and remained silent. Taking advantage of the dim lights and cold temperature in Ndola, George looked at Amon who was standing against the light. “What are you planning to do?”Amon raised his eyebrows calmly. “What do you mean?” George put his frozen hands into the pockets of his black coat. “You kidnapped Rosalie’s pup, then kidnapped Taya. Are you planning to keep them hostage forever?” Amon took a puff of his cigarette, and asked George, “Can’t I?” Hearing this, George sighed deeply, “What
Taya still didn’t speak, and George didn’t force her, but in the following days, he often came to visit her with Grace in his arms. During the day, Grace would lie in front of Taya’s bed, poking her face with her chubby little fingers. “Aunt Taya, you look like the doll my daddy bought for me. She is just like you, she looks pretty, but she can’t speak…” Only Go d knew how George managed to persuade Grace from calling Taya mommy to calling her Aunt Taya. The sound of the word “aunt” made Taya’s heart feel warm, and when she slept at night, she couldn’t help hugging Grace’s tiny body tightly. It was as if while floating in this world, she had found a single boat that she could board to explore. This boat had brought her to the most beautiful of places on earth. Taya lowered her head, curious to see what the pup looked like…But when she realized her eyes were still not working right, a wave of sadness washed over her… Would her sight be restored after death? If not, then she couldn’t ev
Back at Stella’s hospital in Arcadia, two months have pa*sed since Griffon fell into a coma. The man on the hospital bed had an elegant, pale face that looked like it was shrouded by mist. With his eyes closed, one could only see his long, thick eyelashes. He was lying quietly on the white bed. Without any movement or sound, it was as if he had already left the world, leaving behind only a shell. Preston took the cotton swab from Andre, dipped it in warm water, and moistened the thin, dry and dull lips of the man lying on the hospital bed. After he finished moisturizing his lips, he fetched a clean towel, and while wiping the man’s forehead, he asked the head bodyguard standing behind him, “Have you found her?” The head bodyguard lowered his head. With a face full of guilt, he replied solemnly, “Sorry, I didn’t find her in Aronland either…” Hearing this, Preston squeezed the towel in his hand. Turning around, he slapped it on the head of the head bodyguard. He shouted, “You piece of s
Was Alpha Knight going to settle accounts with Eric? It just so happened that Andre had beef with Eric too. Should he end it once and for all? Andre readily agreed to it. “No problem, leave everything to me.” After Griffon gave his orders, he tried to force himself to get up, but found that he couldn’t move. Only his fingers could wiggle a little. One by one, he curled his fingers, concentrating all his strength on his hands in an attempt to get back up with the strength of his fingers, but to no avail. When Andre saw the layer of faint sweat on his beautifully Go d-chiseled face, he hurried forward to dissuade Griffon, knowing that he was forcing himself up. “Alpha Knight, you just woke up from a coma, and you shouldn’t move around for the time being. You should take a good rest for some time before we advance to physio…” Griffon failed to get up several times, so he gave up struggling… The melancholy in his brows reminded him of Taya’s severe coma back then. He had never been able t
In Ndola, the sun came from behind the clouds in the morning. The dazzling sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa, spilling into the house built of red bricks. and tiles. Under the sun was a lean, slender figure with thick wavy hair. From a distance, the scene was as breathtaking as a textured oil painting. Holding Grace in her arms, Taya fumbled for the bread on the plate, tore it apart bit by bit with her gloved hands, and inserted the bits into the little girl’s mouth. Grace opened her chubby mouth and craned her neck, leaning her mouth closer to the toast handed over by her Aunt Taya. After biting into the soft toast, she looked up at the person sitting across from them. Amon took his time to slice the steak with a knife and fork. After cutting it into strips, he forked a piece and raised it to Taya’s mouth. “Rosalie, open your mouth.” Grace was greatly confused. Her Uncle George had her mother’s name was Rosalie, while her aunt’s name was Taya. Yet, the
The a*sistant trembled as he repeated, “Griffon is awake.” Amon was only surprised for a few seconds, but quickly regained his composure, as if he had already anticipated that Griffon would wake up, and didn’t think much of it. He leisurely picked up the napkin on the dining table and wiped off the porridge that had spilled on his fingers… After cleaning up, he raised his head and looked towards the direction of the surveillance camera, saying to his a*sistant, “Since he’s awake, let’s give him a gift.” He believed that Griffon would be thrilled to see it, but he didn’t know if he would become too happy and fall into a coma again… He was starting to look forward to Griffon’ reaction. As Griffon lay on the hospital bed, he watched the surveillance videos that were sent to his phone one by one. His heart was crushed as if it had been tra mpled by a horse’s hoof, leaving him in indescribable agony. Even his guts seemed to be torn apart. He trembled as he scrolled past the first video of
Zack and Andre looked at the rapidly departing helicopter and exchanged a glance. After suppressing his inner anger, Zack quickly ordered his men to track the route of the helicopter. The two of them returned to the villa, planning to follow the route and catch up with Amon. One of his men found a tape recorder, a video tape, and a note that read “for Griffon” in Taya’s bedroom. “Mr. Zack, these three things were placed under this note by Miss Taya,” the man reported. Zack took the three things and absentmindedly clicked on the tape recorder. When he heard the familiar voice, he paused for a moment, then looked up at Andre uncertainty and asked, “Is this…” Andre’s face darkened. “It’s Ms. Palmer’s voice.” Andre took the video tape from Zack and saved it to a USB drive, then plugged it into the computer. The two of them felt their hearts sink as they watched the video. Zack clenched his teeth and nodded at Andre. “You go after Amon. I’ll go back first and let Mr. Griffon make the decis
While they were discussing it, Andre on the other side ordered his subordinates to put all the lockboxes on the gla*s table and report to the man on the sofa. “Alpha, the bride price is ready. I have informed Mr. Dominic Knight, and I didn’t wait for his response before I came here.”” Griffon gave a slight nod. After Taya had finished talking to Harper, and they returned to the living room, he got up from the sofa and walked over to Harper. “Ms. Duke, I’m here today to ask Taya for her hand in mating and to seek the approval of her pack. Since you’re her sister, you will be the one to decide for Taya.” In general, it was the man’s pack who made the decision first before coming to formally propose, and then the discussion between the man and the woman’s pack was inevitable. In numerous instances, when they could not find common ground, the couple might not be able to tie the knot. Eventually, instead of being able to form a pack, they would become hostile to each other. However, the ma
Taya thought that Griffon would go to the Knight pack after dropping her off at Harper’s villa, but he turned and followed her into the villa. Harper’s maid, Mandy, was as delighted to see Griffon’ arrival as she was to see her son-in-law, and hastened to respectfully welcome him into the living room. “Alpha, have a seat and I’ll make you a cup of coffee…” After finishing speaking, Mandy turned her head to glance at Griffon, and then made a gesture to encourage Taya, signaling with her eyes for Taya to win Griffon’ heart. Taya raised her hand to stroke her forehead, then she walked over to Griffon and said, “Griffon, I have a present for you, I’ll go to my room to get it.” Leaning back on the sofa, Griffon’ long legs crossed lazily, a smile seemed to tinge his brows when he heard she was going to give him something, “Okay.” Taya turned around and went to the study. Griffon sitting in the living room took out his mobile phone and called Harper, who was still working at the nightclub.W
Fortunately, she was not usually screaming. Otherwise, if the man upstairs had heard the sound, he might have shot the sneaky Andre. Taya was shocked, and upon learning the purpose of Andre’s visit, she hurriedly explained, “I’ve talked to him about it, he’ll go to the office tomorrow.” She had persuaded Griffon before, but that man seemed uninterested in the multi-billion dollar matters, and just wanted to spend time with her. When Andre heard that Alpha Knight would be going to the office tomorrow, he quickly stood on his tiptoes, leaned over the window, and whispered, “Thank you, Ms. Palmer.” Taya couldn’t reach the window, so she could only step on the small stool and waved to him, “You’re welcome…” As Andre turned to leave, Taya asked with concern, “Has Stelle been discharged from the hospital?” Andre nodded, “She was discharged from the hospital yesterday, and everything is fine.” Only then did Taya feel relieved, and she raised her hand again to wave to Andre, “Goodbye.” After
His bewitching eyes were like bottomless black holes that would suck everything inside. It was even more difficult to resist them when he let out a tender look. Enchanted by his eyes, Taya didn’t even realize when he put her down on the bed. It wasn’t until the tall and sturdy body lay down on her that she caught herself. She quickly reached out her hands to grab his collar and said nervously, “I… I’m scared…” When he usually did it, it was already unbearable for her, let alone a one-time compensation. Griffon gazed at her with his dreamy eyes, inch by inch. The silver-white gown was tailor-made for her, and it fit snugly on her body. Her long wavy hair spread out like seaweed on the bed, making her look stunning and se xy. As he looked, Griffon’ Adam’s apple couldn’t help bobbing up and down. “I’ve held back my urges for several days…” Taya parted her lips, wishing to refuse him in the name of her health, but he lowered his head and lightly bit her ear. The hot breath came, causing a
Looking at the man as he sat on the sofa and fiddled with the safe on the table, she said softly, “Griffon, thank you for preparing all these for me.” Griffon entered the pa*sword on the safe and looked up at her with his beautiful eyes, “Come here.” When he said “come here”, Taya was reminded of the past. At that time, they were also in Mansion No. 8. When he saw her, the phrase he said the most to her was “come here”. However, he used to be domineering and indifferent, while he was loving and affectionate now. It was as if he had reserved all his tenderness for her. Taya stopped thinking about the past and walked over before he pulled her into his lap. Wrapping his arms around her from behind, he reached out his hands and opened the safe on the table. Taya was surprised to see the beige scarf inside, along with her photo and a torn letter held together with many tapes. She reached out her hand to touch the scarf and lowered her gaze thoughtfully before remembering that it was someth
It was snowing heavily, and more than a dozen luxury cars pulled over at the entrance of Mansion No. 8. The rear pa*senger door of the leading car slowly opened, and a man in a white suit got out. He had a great figure and looked like a statue carved by Go d as he stood by the car door, aloof yet elegant. The seemingly unapproachable man bent over and offered his fingers to the woman inside the car. The moment those icy eyes saw the woman, they exuded warmth and tenderness. It seemed that the woman in the silver-white gown was the only person who could make him reveal his tender side. Putting her hand into his thick palm, she got out of the car with his a*sistance, then gazed up at the mansion with minimalist European style before her. She looked sideways at the man who was much taller than her and smiled curiously, “Why have you brought me to Mansion No. 8?” Griffon took an overcoat and put it on her, then wrapped his arm around her waist and scooped her up, “You’ll know when we go i
As Harper saw him in so much anguish, her eyes turned sad again, “Are you not going to see her ever again?” Silas fell silent. “I might be able to stop thinking about her if I don’t see her again. But if I do… will I lose my mind with jealousy?” He wondered. He sat in the same spot for a long time before he slowly calmed himself and looked at Harper. “Take care of yourself!” He then pushed the wheelchair and headed towards the door. Seeing his fragile figure in the wheelchair, Harper felt bad for him. She chased after him and asked, “Will you answer my calls in the future?” Silas looked up at her with his red-rimmed eyes, then nodded slightly. It was only then that Harper felt relieved, “Remember to tell me when you’re able to move on.” Silas nodded with a smile. There was no trace of resentment on his gentle and handsome face, only resignation. When he moved out of Gmissta, it was windy and cold. Sitting in the wheelchair, he looked up at the flurrying sno wflakes in the night sky. “
When the pa*senger window of the car was lowered halfway, a good-looking face was revealed. Despite the dim streetlight, Harper could still recognize who he was. Stunned for a few seconds, she hurriedly over in her high heels and grew certain that it was him when she got nearer. “Silas.” With a trembling voice, she called out his name. The man inside the car slowly curled his lips into a smile, “Hi, Harper.” As she had not heard him call out her name for a long time, Harper’s eyes turned sad suddenly, “What brings you here?” These few days, she had tried to call him, but he either switched off his phone or did not pick up her calls. She also tried to look for him in the Wolverly Capital, but he refused to see her. Doing so, he seemed to be wanting to sever ties with them, so much so that he no longer recognized her as his sister… She thought that she would lose him for good and did not expect to see him showing up on the day Griffon proposed to Taya. Harper wondered if Silas had been
Taya raised her slender and fair finger and pointed at the ring box as she explained, “Didn’t you prepare your declaration of love?” Preston, who was hiding in the distance, and the members of the Knight pack, who were waiting in the corner, burst out laughing. Surprised to hear the laughter, Taya looked around but saw no one. As she was confused, Griffon held her hand. He opened his thin-lipped mouth and tried to declare his love, but couldn’t come out with anything. In the end, he asked anxiously, “Will you mate me?” Knowing that Griffon would go crazy if she did not say yes, she quickly nodded with a smile, “Yes!” Who else would she mate but him? From the moment she “sold” herself to him, she was destined to mate him, and no one could change that. As he heard her answer, Griffon’ anxious face relaxed, and a half-smile appeared. dainty hand, then put the ring, engraved with their names, on her left middle finger. He believed it was closest to her heart, and putting the ring there me
