She could not finish her sentence anymore, for Charlotte had stabbed her in the stomach. There was not a single trace of sympathy in Charlotte’s eyes as she looked at Lorraine’s pain-ridden face.“This is for Cora.”Lorraine’s mouth opened so wide that it could fit an egg, but no words came out. Her face was contorted in pain, and although she was not talking, Charlotte could discern from her gaze that she was asking for mercy.She was badly injured, but she could still be saved if Charlotte got her to the hospital in time. After a great deal of bitterness and sorrow, she had finally separated Charlotte from Zachary. All she needed to do was use some tricks to make Zachary give up on Charlotte, and then she could reunite with Zachary. She did not want to die!“Argh!”The sharp pain that spread from her scalp caused her to let out a shuddering scream, but Charlotte paid her no mind. She grabbed her by her hair and dragged her to the edge of the cliff. Then, she pointed at t
The wind on the mountain was strong and cut through Charlotte’s skin like knives. Back when she’d decided to avenge herself with her own hands, she had planned everything in detail, but she hadn’t considered where she would go after killing Lorraine. Lorraine was dead.Even if she was not sentenced to death, she would have to spend the rest of her life in prison.Zachary would hate her as well, so there was no way they could be together again.Right now, she was walking alone down the road below the mountain, feeling more confused than she had ever felt before.“Hey, what are you doing alone in the middle of nowhere? I’m heading back to the city. Do you need a ride?” Charlotte only realized there was a red car beside her when she heard the voice. She looked absentmindedly into the car and said, “Thank you.”As soon as she went into the car and sat in the passenger seat, the person in the driver’s seat shouted, “Charlotte Simmons? It’s really you?!”Charlotte looked at the w
Four years later...“Charlotte Simmons!” A big hand that felt as cold as steel clasped Sotiria’s neck abruptly. “Tell me, why did you betray me?”Sotiria, who had difficulty breathing, could not make a sound.The hand tightened as time went by, and the eyes that were glaring at her looked cold, gloomy, and bloodthirsty.“Why?“What have I done to wrong you? Why?“Why?”“Aaah!” Sotiria woke up with a scream, and her forehead was covered with sweat.She had this dream again. It had been four years, and this dream had been haunting her like a curse through these years.She knew that the man was calling her by another name, but she forgot what that name was once she woke up.She could not see the man’s face clearly—the only thing that she knew was that the man’s cold and powerful aura made him feel like the devil. She would still feel like she had just crawled out of an ice cave and felt a sheer coldness all over her body even after waking up.“Ms. Green, you’ve woken up!” The p
“Mr. Connor...” The woman was still not reconciled. She took out a white towel in a panic and patted the man’s chest with it.“Mr. Connor, please don’t be angry. I’ll wipe it off for you—”“Scat!” The man’s cold voice was like a deadly blizzard.The huge auditorium was filled with a terrifying and murderous aura instantly. Everyone held their breaths, and the boisterous auditorium seemed to have turned into a cemetery at that moment.The woman was frightened. She was leaning forward because her original plan was to fall into Zachary’s arms while she was trying to clean his suit. At that moment, her legs indeed weakened. She lost her balance and was about to fall into Zachary’s arms.However, before she could even come into contact with the man, the man had grabbed her neck and flung her away coldly.“Aaaah!” This scream echoed in the auditorium as the woman fell to the ground. It felt like her body was about to fall apart, but she did not dare to make a sound due to the man’s suf
But now, what had he done to this woman?The man was expressionless, and his eyes looked like they were covered in inches of snow. No one could see through his thoughts.“You can go now.” It was not until the man’s voice sounded again that Sotiria realized that the man had finished helping her clean her dress and had thrown the tissue into the trash can.Although Sotiria was confused, she didn’t dare to stay in front of him. She faked a smile, thanked him, turned around, and was about to leave.As soon as she took a step, the man took a huge stride and appeared in front of her all of a sudden. He wrapped his right arm around her waist and embraced her in his arms.Bam! The moment her body collided with his, Sotiria’s mind became blank, and her heart seemed to have stopped beating. A few seconds later, the beating resumed, and it became excited like a rumble of thunder for a moment.The man did not utter a single word. His thick brows furrowed slightly, but no one could see the
Given the myriad thoughts intertwining in her heart and mind, it took some time for Sotiria to calm herself down and regain her voice.“Garrison, you and my brother have been best pals since childhood. You should know a lot about my past. Now tell me, did I know Zachary before I lost my memory? Did I have an unusual relationship with him before that?”At that moment, Sotiria noticed that the faint strangeness in Garrison’s eyes had become clearer. Unfortunately, she could not understand what that meant.“You should’ve heard a lot about Zachary before this too. Given your status before the accident, how could it be possible for you to have mingled with someone from the top one percent? What’s more...” Garrison, who was feeling rather uneasy, took a deep breath secretly. “What’s more, even if you had met him by chance before that, he’d only have dismissed you like how he treats other women. There can never be any unusual relationship between the both of you.”“Okay.” Sotiria nodded.
At this time, a golden head poked out of the supreme Rolls-Royce that was parked on the side of the road. “Second Master, didn’t you go to seduce Garrison’s fiancee? Why are you back so soon? Was there a setback?”Zachary did not reply but got into the car blankly.A setback? He had obviously hit the jackpot.No woman in this world could resist the temptation that he was letting off, let alone when he took the initiative to make a move on a woman.The moment he had deliberately hugged Sotiria in the auditorium, he had already felt that the woman had succumbed to his seduction involuntarily. After this, he would make her fall deeply in love with him step by step!Lucas could not help but sigh as he stared at Zachary, who looked as cold as an iceberg. “Second Master, you’re an honorable and prestigious man, and this thing that you’re doing tarnishes your status. It’s better to go home now. As for this matter, let’s just stop here.”Zachary’s eyes became gloomy. “No.”Lucas felt an
Nearly three hours later, Garrison and Sotiria stepped out of the hall, arm in arm.Clack!Garrison personally opened the car door for Sotiria. “After you, dear wife.”“Thank you!”Sotiria beamed at him, lowered herself, and got into the car.Garrison followed suit and sat next to her.Garrison’s chauffeur cum assistant, Jordan Rennard, started the car and was about to head northwest when Garrison said, “Turn around. We’re going to Rainbow Bridges.”“Very well, Mr. Larson.” Jordan was not surprised at all.Sotiria, however, had eyes filled with shock.‘Rainbow Bridges! I know that place!’It wasn’t because of its unique scenery in Rothesay. It was because Garrison would go there, every day for the past four years, in the bitter cold or the sweltering heat. He had never missed a day.She had once asked Garrison about his persistence. Garrison had nonchalantly answered that he was simply fulfilling a promise to someone.Why was Garrison taking her there after their engagement
