Audrey walked over to Kevin, but her long dress almost tripped her. Kevin reacted swiftly to support her. Audrey, sensitive to their contact, looked at the part where they touched. He was aware of his abruptness and gradually let go of her, "The floor is slippery. Be careful."Audrey smiled, "I still don't like wearing high heels. Thank you, Mr. Harrison."Kevin nodded, "You're welcome. The car will be here soon. Be careful on the way back, and stay safe."He took a step back to maintain a proper distance.Audrey asked, "You seem to care a lot about that person just now. Do you have feelings for her?"Kevin did not deny nor admit it, "She was my intern assistant. She tends to get into trouble. I apologize for any embarrassment."Audrey smiled gently, "I've heard about her. She's Ms. Samford's assistant. I can tell that you treat her differently."Outside Eternal Seasons, a familiar black car slowly approached. She continued, "Mr. Harrison, the car is here. I'll be taking my leav
Madelyn said with guilt, "I'm sorry. I can't let the same thing happen again this time. I cannot continue to stay by your side."She shook her head and continued, "We both know you never loved me, Zach. If this continues, we'll just keep tormenting each other."The effect of the aphrodisiac was still strong, but Zach held onto his consciousness with sheer willpower. He warned her, "If you dare take another step forward, I'll destroy Ethan until nothing is left."Zach was still trying to bluff her since he had not found Ethan's location. Though, Madelyn knew where he was.She said again, "I'm sorry.""Try and leave! With just one phone call, you won't be able to escape ever again," Zach threatened her.Madelyn stared back at him. When she saw the phone on his bedside table, she did not hesitate to try to grab it from him. She could not let him make that call. If Zach had called for more backup, Madelyn would not have had another chance to run away. However, she did not know she wa
"No, don't come here," Madelyn warned Zach.Zach looked like a madman. Madelyn took the opportunity to run out the door behind him while he was weak."Ah!" Zach roared and grabbed her by the ankle again. Madelyn fell entirely to the ground. Her clean clothes were instantly smudged with Zach's blood. She saw his eyes and felt terrified.The next moment, Zach's cold and bloodied face stared at Madelyn. His hands clutched her neck while his blood trickled off his face. Madelyn gripped his hands in pain and pleaded, "Zach, let me go!""Are you going to run!" Zach asked menacingly. Madelyn shut her eyes in pain and kept silent."Answer me! Are you going to run!" Zach asked again."Why do you still run? Am I not treating you well enough?" Zach continued to question her.He saw her painful expression and felt the same way; it was the helplessness from being unable to stop her from leaving him. Just when Madelyn was about to faint, Zach suddenly let go of her. He tore her clothes off an
"I wish you would've died sooner! I could've had a better life and lived with someone I liked. But you had to ruin everything I had selfishly!" Madelyn screamed.Zach laughed and said, "So what? Everyone who knows about this secret has died. Madelyn, come back to my side, okay?"He pleaded with her, "I'll pretend everything that happened today didn't happen."Madelyn stared at him and could only see an insane and sick man. She did not know how Zach turned out this way.'Does Zach love me? I hadn't done anything, yet Zach fell in love with me. I did so much for him in my previous life, but he chose Cecilia as his wife. What the hell was the point of everything in my previous life?' Madelyn thought.She asked him, "Why?"Zach replied, "It's because I love you."He moved closer and repeated, "I love you."He took a third step and continued to repeat, "I love you."Madelyn laughed and said through teary eyes, "You love me? You love me! You never loved me. I was never the one you l
Madelyn saw the sharp dagger burying itself into Zach's heart. Then, with wide eyes, she watched as he fell. She screamed at him, "Zach!"Madelyn started crying. She did not dare to touch him and did not know why she was crying."Zach, you can't die. I'll call the doctor for you," Madelyn said.She then applied pressure carefully on the wound and cried out, "Help! Help! Is anyone there? Someone, please come! Please come and save him!"Everyone outside heard the commotion, and the bodyguards immediately rushed in. They saw the bloodied person on the person and panicked. Then, they immediately called for an ambulance. Thankfully, there were medical personnel around, and Kai was among them. During the commotion, he grabbed Madelyn's hand and left the building.Kai earnestly told Madelyn, "There are two choices left for you. The first is to not care about anything and leave now. You have three minutes until Kevin arrives. The second is to go back to Zach and continue the life that you
Cecilia picked up the call and asked calmly, "Did something happen?"Susan answered swiftly, "Ms. Samford, Mr. Jardin was injured! I saw Mr. Jardin being carried out of the hotel room by a paramedic. He was covered in blood and had a dagger in his chest. He doesn't look well. Mrs. Jardin also seems to have escaped."Ms. Samford, do we call the cops now? But Kevin has withheld all information regarding the news and is forbidding any leaks," Susan continued."What did you say? Madelyn dared hurt him? Which hospital is he in right now?" Cecilia asked with a menacing look.Susan told her, "The Community Hospital. The same hospital you are in."Cecilia replied, "Alright. Keep a close eye on him, and don't give yourself away."Susan obliged, "Yes, Ms. Samford. I'll be returning to the company first. I'll contact you if anything happens."After Cecilia hung up the phone, she had the nurses help her into a wheelchair. One asked her, "Ms. Samford, will you not have the soup?"Cecilia an
"Who let her in?" Fred asked.The deputy warden answered, "Ms. Harper brought her in. She said she wanted to stay with us for a few days. We saw that Ms. Harper was happy, so we didn't do anything about it."Blake was seated at the innermost seat. She also put her hand down after seeing Fred's annoyed face. She smiled while hiding behind Mya and thought, 'Fred is just like Mr. Jardin. They are so terrifying. I'll never understand how Madelyn and Mya put up with them.'When Blake compared them to Kevin, he seemed like an angel. Besides, Fred's stare made her shudder. His smile was even more ominous.Fred asked Mya, "Is bringing someone home such a delightful thing?"Mya picked up the dropped cookies and patted the dust off them. She then said, "Blake is my younger sister. My mom said that older siblings have to take care of their younger siblings. Blake is the best; she has also helped me eliminate the bad guys. I want her to be with me. Even if you disagree, I'll still bring her h
Blake said, "Ah... Liam, I'm finished!"Blake pressed her forehead against Liam's chest. He was slightly surprised and smiled faintly, "Calm down. Take your time, and tell me what's wrong."He raised his hand to check the time, "Have you had breakfast?"Blake responded, "I can't eat anything right now."Liam said, "I'll take you home. You can tell me what's wrong in the car."In the early morning, the frost on the side of the road of Eternal Seasons had not melted. Liam draped the checkered scarf on his arm over Blake's neck as he lowered his eyes. His long lashes flickered slightly, "It's cold in the morning. Let's get into the car."Liam held her hand, leading her to the parked car.He opened the front passenger seat door, and Blake got in. Liam then sat in the driver's seat and fastened the seat belt for Blake.He drove the car very steadily, as there were no bumps on the road. He said, "I'm sorry for troubling you last night."If you don't mind, can you tell me what happen
