Chapter 1266

Author: Ginger Bud
It felt as if a long decade had passed before it ended. Tanner hugged Pearl from behind while his fingers twirled around the hair behind her neck. “Don’t even think of leaving me. Even if you hate me, we’ll have to torture each other.”

Pearl didn’t respond, and her eyes were dead.

The next day…

Maisie sat drinking tea in her private room when the woman who had just walked in looked at Maisie curiously.

After the server left, Maisie put down her cup and smiled. “Take a seat.”

That woman carefully sat down across from her. “Why did you ask to meet me?”

“You’re Ms. Santiago’s assistant, right?” Maisie poured her some tea. “I would like to know something about Ms. Santiago.”

The assistant was a little surprised. “Do you know Ms. Santiago?”

She answered, “We’re acquaintances.”

The assistant had to be careful. “I’m not sure what you would like to know about her. Are you trying to investigate her through me?’

Maisie scooped up some soup. “I’m investigating, but I mean no harm.”

    Pearl beamed, then closed the door while deep in thought. After she came out of the bathroom, Tanner placed a glass of warm water on the table and left the bedroom. She sat on the bed and looked at the glass of water. She couldn't help but sense the irony as she took the glass and lay back down. When she woke up again, it was already afternoon. She felt better, and the heaviness lifted too.She walked out of the room and sighed in relief when she didn’t see Tanner around. She made some spaghetti in the kitchen, and since Tanner had taken her phone and there were guards outside, she hadn’t been able to speak to her family in more than a month. Even if she went out, he had to agree to it first, and someone would follow her. She lived in torture and faced nothing other than pain. The only time she could relax was when he wasn’t around. However, he returned very soon and saw that she was making food. He walked over. “Is your fever gone?”Pearl nodded. “Yes.”He loosened his tie.

    Mr. Saldana was in a good mood, so he didn’t mind her request and gave her some wine. “We have plenty of alcohol. Drink whatever you want.”Tanner smiled, but his eyes weren’t smiling. “You seem happy with the woman I brought over.”“You have great taste. I’m happy with this one.” Mr. Saldana put his arm on the back of the couch and smiled. “I wonder if you’re willing to hand her to me?”Tanner’s hand that was pouring froze, then he put the bottle down next to his hand. “You like this one?”“Of course, she’s a pretty lady.” Mr. Saldana looked her up and down and touched his chin. “She’s different from the other girls I see here. She looks pretty decent. If she didn’t show up with you, I would have thought that she was from an affluent family. Where did you find her?”Pearl grabbed the wine glass tightly.Tanner looked at her, and his eyes grew dark. “As long as you’re happy with her.”He drank all the wine in his glass. At that moment, two girls who worked at the club walked in,

    “Mr. Hannigan, I’ve followed your request—” Before Pearl could finish, he suddenly slapped her. Her face turned, and she stood there on the spot. The slap wasn’t too hard, but it hit straight into her heart, which was already shattered in pieces. Tanner grabbed her shoulder, pushed her against the wall, and looked toward a certain spot. He grabbed her face to force her to look at him. “Pearl, you’re just a broken shoe that nobody wants to wear, so don’t even think that you will ever escape me!”Pearl’s eyes welled up, but she held the tears back. Tanner looked away from her and pulled her into the elevator.The man who was hiding in the dark immediately walked back into the private room after they left. He walked to Mr. Saldana. “Sir, it looks like the rumors were true. The marriage between the two didn’t work out because he thinks that Ms. Santiago is unwanted. He’s too reckless to make her an escort and even assaulted her outside. He warned that she won’t be able to escape him.

    Tanner looked back, started the car, and drove away. When they returned to the apartment, Pearl took a shower. When she was done, Tanner, who was smoking on the bed, crushed the cigarette bud in the ashtray. “You can go home tomorrow.”He got up and walked toward her, then placed his hand on her cheeks and kissed her.Pearl didn’t fight back but instead fell into his arms and made herself accept his kisses—her eyes were still empty.He didn’t tie her up that night but instead kissed her when he felt like it. They were in a heated situation, but she just felt cold. She couldn’t see the sympathy in his eyes in the dark, and he couldn't see her hatred. The next day, at the Santiagos…Tanner sent Pearl there, and Mrs. Santiago walked quickly over after he got out of the car. “Pearl!”She pulled her into a tight hug, her heart aching. “I’m sorry.” She let go of Pearl and touched her face. “You’ve lost so much weight. Are you unhappy?”After she said that, she looked at Tanner, who

    Tanner laughed, and his facial expression stiffened slightly. However, he did not say anything in return.Helios looked at the horse rider on the racecourse and said, “We've known each other for quite a long time, and I know you're someone who wouldn't give up on a relationship that easily. Although I don't know what is happening between you and her, Mr. Santiago seems to be very worried about his daughter.”“Helios,” Tanner smiled, “It's better for you to stay out of my business with Pearl.”“I don’t plan to interfere,” Helios replied as he sipped on his coffee. “But here's some advice for you. Stop before it's too late.”Tanner fell silent.After a short while, Tanner left. Helios looked at his figure and fell into contemplation.Meanwhile, at Soul…“Mr. Santiago asked Helios to persuade Tanner?” Maisie looked at Barbara.Sitting on the couch, Barbara sipped on her tea and smiled. “Yeah. He came to the mansion the other day and asked my husband to persuade Tanner to leave his

    Pearl did not say anything in return. Tanner let out a scoff, and his face turned even grimmer. “Don’t worry. I won’t kill you.”He tightened his grip on her chin and continued. “I won't let you die so easily. After all, there are many ways to torture you.”Her face turned pale slightly, and her breathing became heavy. Tanner flung her back into her seat and quickly drove away. Tanner dragged her into the bathroom when they were back in the apartment. He filled the bathtub with cold water and threw her into it without any hesitation.The water soaked through her clothes and splashed all over him. The biting cold water wrapped around her, and she was so cold that she shivered. Before she could do anything, Tanner grabbed her hair and hissed. “Why must you force me to do this? Do you really want to die so much?”He pushed her head into the water, causing her to struggle with all her might. She gasped heavily for air when he scooped her out of the water. However, he pushed her into

    Maisie nodded. “Well, I expected this.”Barbara summoned the waiter and continued. “She’s living in Mr. Hannigan’s apartment now, but I think he’s holding her captive.” She ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, and after the waiter had gone away, she asked, “Aren't you curious about what she said when I told her that you wanted to see her?”Maisie was holding a cup of coffee, and she was stunned for a moment. After a short while, she took a sip from the coffee and asked, “What did she say?”“She said she doesn’t want to see you.”Seeing the crack on Maisie’s face, Barbara giggled and added, “Alright, alright. I’ll stop messing with you.”Maisie crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Barbara.Barbara leaned forward and said with a smile on her face, “It's true that she didn't say she doesn't want to see you, but she didn't say when either.”Maisie nodded. “That means she doesn’t want to see me. It’s just that she doesn’t want to say it out explicitly.”Barbara l

    Ryleigh carefully carried the baby in her arms. She was stunned when the baby grabbed her thumb with his little fingers. “So, all babies are so tiny when they are born.”“That’s right. Louis was this tiny as well when I gave birth to him. His skin was all wrinkled up, and he was ugly,” Larrisa chimed in.Louis was rendered speechless, and Ryleigh chuckled.Louis sat at the side of the bed and took the baby over from Ryleigh. The baby started crying as soon as he was in Louis' arms. He panicked and asked, "Why is he crying?" Maisie walked over. “Come, let me carry him.”She took over the baby from Louis and held him in her arms. She patted the baby gently with practiced ease. After a minute, the baby stopped crying.Larrisa came over and laughed. "It seems like he likes you very much, Maisie.”The nurse brought the baby back to the nursery.Maisie and Barbara did not stay back since they knew Ryleigh needed to rest, so both of them left the hospital.…Late at night, Tanner s

    “Daisie.” Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. “You look so pretty today.”“Thank you,” Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. “I propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.”Daisie clinked glasses with her. “Same goes for you and Morrison.”After the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. “You were great earlier today.”She giggled. “Really?”Nolan added, “You’ll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.”Daisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. “Dad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisie’s hand.”“Consider yourself lucky.” Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. “You’d better treat my daughter well from now on.”Nollace glanced at Daisie. “Don’t worry. She’ll forever be my one and only.”Maisie chuck

    In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriage—the streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrick’s Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisie’s hand and smiled suddenly. “You have sweaty palms.”Daisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, “I’m nervous.”He lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m here, so don’t be nervous. Just take it easy.”Daisie’s gaze landed on his wedding jacket. “You look nice in this uniform.”Nollace chuckled. “And my bride looks stunning too.”Arriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b

    “By the way, where’s Cameron?” asked Morrison.Waylon replied, “She’s accompanying her father on a stroll. I’m going to go meet them already, so I’ll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.”After saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. “He’s changed now that he has a wife.”“You’re speaking as if you haven’t changed.” Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. “Hey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.”Maisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. “Have you finished catching up?”“Of course. Didn’t you want to go to the Hathaways’ villa with Dad in the afternoon?”Nolan smiled. “I was waiting for you. We’re just going over to have a meal together.”Quincy walked up to Saydie’s side and

    Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my mom’s jewelry company and design.”Nollace hugged her from behind. “You can do anything as long as you like it.”…The members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, “Godfather!”Strix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for

    The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, “Nolly, I’m really looking forward to our wedding.”“Really?” Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. “I’m looking forward to it too.”“I can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.”He laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. “You know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.”Daisie turned her head around. “What are your wishes?”“Marry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.”She was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme

    “Yeah, it’s true,” replied Zephir.“It seems like you’ve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.” Naomi patted his shoulder. “I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.” He smiled at her but did not say anything.…Soon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. “Mommy! Daddy!”She hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. “You’re an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.”She smiled back at them and said, “But I know I’ll always be your kid in your eyes.”Maisie chuckled and looked at the other people. “It seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.”Freyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl

    Nollace looked at them. “What a coincidence.”“Morrison and I were here earlier than you guys,” said Leah. “We only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.”Daisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, “Then you should stay a few more days with us.”After Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. “She’s my sister-in-law, Freyja, and she’s my sister. Her name is Daisie.”“I’ve seen them before at your wedding,” said Morrison. “Your sister is my wife’s classmate. She has told me before.”“Since when did I become your wife? There’s a chance I may not marry you in the future,” said Leah.“We’re already engaged. If you don’t want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?” Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, “Engaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?” Leah cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I forgot to inform you abo

    The stall owner said, “$10 for three chances.”“$10 for three chances only? That’s expensive,” commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, “I’m the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.” Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, “Let's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.”After that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, “Please give us six hoops.”The stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, “Leave it to me.”She squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an

    The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. “What’s the matter? You can’t sleep?”“Yeah…” She buried her head in his chest and said, “I want to go to take a leak, but I’m a little bit scared.”Nollace kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll go with you then.”Both of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, “You wait for me here.”Nollace nodded. “Just shout my name if you need anything.”She walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollace’s arm. “Alright, let’s go
