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
Garrison panicked. He swiftly concealed his strange glint to the bottom of his eyes, then smacked himself over the head.“Sigh! Look at me. I’ve only had a few drinks at our engagement party, and I’ve gotten so drunk that I’m even getting your name wrong. I’m sorry, Tiria.”Sotiria curled her lips.“It’s alright. Please continue. Why is this your last day on this bridge?”“Because I’ve successfully fulfilled my promise.” The imposing-looking Garrison gazed at her. The love in his eyes seemed ready to overflow at any time.“Do you remember? You once asked me why I visited this bridge every day, and I told you that I was fulfilling a promise to someone.”Sotiria nodded.Garrison held her hand tightly. “That was ten years ago. I was a teenager at the time and was eager for love. I fell deeply in love with a girl, but she didn’t want to be my girlfriend. I pursued her for a very long time, and she finally told me that if I waited for her on this bridge every day, she would marry me,
“What’s wrong, Mr. Larson? You’ve just officially announced your engagement to the woman you love, but instead of taking her to the bedroom, you’ve dragged her to the bridge to play romance?”The insult was like a pair of filthy hands forcefully tearing Garrison and Sotiria’s picture of warmth. Garrison glanced at the man who was talking, then swept his gaze across the other four men behind him.“I don’t know you. Go away. Stop disturbing me.”“Haha! You may not know us, but we know you, Mr. Larson. Honestly, you’ve crossed someone who’s paid a lot of money to hire us to give you a big engagement gift. We’re not leaving until we’ve given you that present.”The five men pressed on toward Garrison and Sotiria like a black, suffocating wall.They stared evilly at Sotiria, causing a shiver to run down her spine.Garrison showed no fear. He raised his perfectly shaped brows. “What kind of gift has he prepared for me? That he just had to drag in so many people?”The man who had prev
“You b*stards! Let go of her!”Garrison was now maddened with anxiety. His Adam’s apple trembled while his eyes were as red as flames from rage. “I swear if you touch her, I’ll make your life a living he— Ugh!”A large hand firmly clamped over his mouth.Rip!Another sound of ripped fabric echoed.Sotiria struggled profusely, but the man was too strong. Her hands and legs were both restrained to the ground. She couldn’t move at all. All she could do was watch the man as he lowered his head and moved his fat, oily lips closer and closer toward her mouth!The breath from the man’s nostrils smelled as rank as a toilet. She felt her stomach churn and nearly puked.“Go away! Don’t touch me! Go away… Go away!” Sotiria panicked, and tears streamed down her face.‘No! I don’t wanna be kissed by this ugly man!’Garrison had been pursuing her for more than four years, and she hadn’t even allowed him to touch her lips because she could not remember anything before her car accident. A
“Garrison!”Sotiria scrambled to her feet and rushed to save Garrison.She had just taken a step forward when a large hand grabbed hers.“He’ll live.”Sotiria looked toward the river and saw that Garrison, who was pretty good at swimming, had swum to the shore and vigorously climbed up. She relaxed.It was at that moment she realized that Zachary was holding her hand. She blushed immediately.“Mr. Connor, you’ve saved Garrison and me. Thank you.”She nervously pulled her hand from his grip and felt as if the part of her skin which he had touched was on fire. It burned and made her feel strangely reckless and hot…Zachary’s chiseled face was cold yet perfect. However, it was as if his face were frozen in place. There were no signs of emotion. “So, how do you plan on thanking me?”Sotiria was clearly surprised.“Uh… I’ve heard that you’re very wealthy, Mr. Connor. You have so much money that it exceeds the average man’s imagination. So… Hehe…”As regal as a king, Zachary stood
