Chapter 834

Author: Ginny Not Genie
Sienna looked up from Daniel's embrace and asked, "So, what should we do now?"

"Alex has left, but the ship is swarming with hitmen waiting for me to show up," Daniel said.

Surprised, Sienna asked, "You know Alex?"

Pointing upward at the ceiling, Daniel explained, "I've been hiding in the pipes above us and overheard everything you discussed in the cabin. They won't make a move as long as I stay out of sight."

"Then, how do we get out of here?" Sienna asked.

"Let's wait for rescue," Daniel responded.

Sienna looked at him, confusion crossing her face.

Daniel pulled out his phone and flashed it before her eyes.

Sienna was shocked.

Smiling confidently, Daniel continued to contact Ryan, describing their situation on the ship and coordinating a rescue plan.

"Honey, are you going to hide in the bathroom this whole time?" Sienna asked.

Daniel whispered in her ear, "The room is under surveillance, and their men could barge in at any moment. It's safer for me in here."

"Okay."

    The wait was excruciatingly long. Sienna hid in the bathroom, frozen with fear. Though overwhelmed by concerns, she was too terrified to step outside. She couldn't bear the thought of complicating things for Daniel. Waiting, as torturous as it was, seemed her only option.Tears flowed down her cheeks, unstoppable like water breaching a dam. Her heart pounded in her throat painfully. She sent up one silent prayer after another.Time had never seemed so endless as it did now. Sienna crouched on the floor, hugging her legs and burying her face in her knees as she wept silently. The ordeal seemed to stretch on for an eternity.At last, the door creaked open, and Daniel's voice floated to her. "Darling, why are you on the floor?"Lifting her tear-streaked face, Sienna saw Daniel kneeling beside her, reaching out to help her up. Without hesitation, she lunged forward and threw her arms around his neck, sobbing loudly now that she was no longer alone.Her pregnancy hormones were in ful

    Daniel never took Vivian to upscale venues for their date. He never showered her with lavish gifts, and even his car was a modest, locally-made model.Vivian often pondered the fact that Daniel's parents held the Morrison family's wealth, and their business was set to be inherited by his brothers, who were actively engaged in business operations.As a police officer, Daniel earned a humble salary and faced an unpredictable career path. Realizing this, Vivian decided to let go of their relationship to chase her dreams of stardom.Now, her choices from the past had taught her hard lessons.Meanwhile, the cruise ship neared the dock. Amidst the bustle, Daniel coordinated with his colleagues to transfer a group of handcuffed criminals off the ship for an official handover.Sienna stepped carefully off the ship on her own. Suddenly, she heard a voice from behind."Let me help you, Sienna," said a plainclothes police officer.She turned and offered the officer a polite smile. "It's fi

    Sienna smiled and nodded at Florence. After the family doctor checked Sienna and confirmed she was fine, he left.Although Daniel was away that day, Florence's visit sparked a series of visits from Sienna's sisters-in-law, each arriving one after another with gifts in hand. They congratulated Sienna and exchanged pregnancy tips, advising Sienna on what to watch out for.Each of them was already a mother, and their combined knowledge of child-rearing was as extensive as any obstetrician's, turning them into walking encyclopedias.…As night fell, Sienna found herself wide awake in bed. She had napped earlier in the day. She lay there, staring out at the night sky from her balcony, her thoughts drifting to Daniel.Anxiety gnawed at her. She couldn't shake the fear that Daniel might not be happy about the baby. Restlessly, she reached for her phone and opened WhatsApp, about to send Daniel a message.Yet, she hesitated, reasoning that he was too swamped with work to come home, let a

    Sienna had always been unlucky, and she couldn't help but wonder what misfortunes the future might still hold for her. That night, she tossed and turned, struggling to find sleep.When she awoke the next morning, she felt utterly drained. After a few rough minutes of vomiting in the bathroom, Sienna went downstairs. She managed only a light breakfast before heading to the study to work.Halfway through her work, Sienna found herself unable to ignore the nagging discomfort within her. She slumped over the desk and stared blankly out the window, her mind drifting away. As her eyelids grew heavy, sleep slowly overtook her.…In Sienna's dream, a refreshing and familiar fragrance wafted toward her. Shortly after, she felt a warm, moist touch on her lips. Groggily, she opened her eyes and was startled to find a face mere inches from her.It was Daniel! He had returned and was softly kissing her as she slept.Sienna instinctively tried to pull away, but Daniel quickly cradled the back

    Driven by curiosity, Daniel pulled out his phone, launched WhatsApp, and opened the group chat to read the latest messages. His expression darkened and he left the group chat without a word. He then took Sienna's phone, unlocked it with her fingerprint, and removed her from the chat as well.Sienna was startled. "Honey, Lindsey will be upset if you do that."With a dismissive scoff, Daniel patted her head reassuringly and dialed Lindsey's number.Sienna watched him, her anxiety apparent as she awaited the conversation that would follow.Lindsey answered the phone with a bright tone. "Daniel, it's been too long since we last talked. What's up?"Daniel's reply was frosty and firm. "Aunt Lindsey, let me make this clear. You remain part of this family if you treat my wife with respect. Otherwise, consider us strangers.""What do you mean? Daniel—"Daniel cut her off and warned, "Also, whether our child is a boy or a girl, our family will cherish them equally. You're just an outsid

    Sienna smiled and raised an eyebrow at Daniel.He returned her gaze calmly without saying a word. His eyes silently suggested that forgiving Linsey was her choice to make.After some thought, Sienna said, "Lindsey, I'm not upset with you.""But your husband is. He just called to scold me, and then he blocked my number," Lindsey explained.Suppressing a laugh, Sienna simply replied, "Oh.""I'm sorry to both of you. Could you ask him to unblock me? I've always treated him and his brothers as if they were my own children. How can he just sever our ties like this?""I'll talk to him, Lindsey. He's overreacting. How can he be so upset with his aunt?"Lindsey smiled. "Exactly. You are the one who always sees things rationally.""We'll speak later, Lindsey. I'll ask Daniel to unblock you.""Okay. Do take care of yourself, especially now in the early stages of your pregnancy," Lindsey advised.Sienna felt surprisingly pleased by Lindsey's sudden concern. She turned to Daniel in disbe

    Daniel asked, "What if you change your mind?" Sienna replied without hesitation, "I won't change my mind." Daniel smiled lightly as he asked, "How can you guarantee the future?" "Honey, you're being so realistic," Sienna said helplessly. Holding her hand, Daniel walked around the villa, expressing his genuine concerns. "Darling, I love you very much. If I could live to be a hundred years old, I'd love you until then. "But if I can't, I'm worried that my parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law will divide my wealth. You won't get much, and there's no guarantee for your future." It turned out that this was his unassured worry. He was not afraid of Sienna changing her mind. Sienna looked at him, unable to hold back her tears. …A week later, on a dark and windy night in a remote corner of the island, a speedboat slowly approached. A bright light illuminated the entire cabin. A man stood on the gangplank, holding a rifle in his hand. After the speedboat docked, the man wai

    In the third trimester of Sienna's pregnancy, Daniel took care of everything for her, from washing her hair to helping her bathe. She didn't need to lift a finger. She had always loved Daniel deeply, but now she felt that he was her entire world. She couldn't imagine living without him. Their baby was a little angel too. Despite the heaviness of her belly, Sienna felt no discomfort and was incredibly at ease in her late pregnancy. Even the due date was perfectly on time. Daniel had packed the hospital bag, and as he turned around, he saw Sienna coming out of the bathroom. She said, "Honey, I think my water just broke." "What does that mean?" Daniel asked curiously. Sienna, looking slightly nervous, replied, "It means our baby might be born today." Excitement flooded Daniel. He quickly grabbed a coat and helped Sienna put it on. "Are you in pain?" he asked. "No," Sienna replied. "Our little one must not want to trouble Mommy too much," Daniel said. Sienna nodded with a s

I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything.

During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills.

They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts.

    Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

    Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

    "If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

    Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

    Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

    Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

    In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
