"Miss, we're here," the driver softly called out after stopping the car.Candice snapped out of her reverie. She quickly wiped away her tears and took out cash to pay."Thank you," she said before getting out.As the door closed, the cab slowly drove away.Candice looked up at the brightly lit villa in front of her. She sighed heavily before walking dejectedly toward it.Just as she approached the large iron gate, a figure suddenly rushed up from behind her. She was shocked when her arm was grabbed. Before she could react, she was yanked to the side of the wall.Candice screamed in shock. Before she could comprehend what was happening, someone kissed her. At that moment, she was dumbfounded. She stared wide-eyed in terror at the face so close to hers.Through the blurry vision, she saw Elio. Finally regaining her senses, she began to struggle.However, the more she struggled, the harder he pressed against her. He pinned her wrists above her head with his solid chest pressed tig

Candice instantly panicked, wondering what Elio meant by his words. She was stunned, staring at him blankly. Although tears still welled up in her eyes, she was dumbfounded.Seeing her dazed expression, innocent and clueless, Elio asked angrily, "Did you hear me clearly?"Candice was so shocked that she gulped. She quickly nodded.Elio thought she understood until Candice blurted out, "I heard you. I don't need you to take responsibility. I won't cling to you."Elio was furious. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to ease the pain deep in his heart. After a moment, he said coldly, "No, I want you to take responsibility."Candice froze. She bewilderedly asked, "I… need to take responsibility for you?"Elio replied with a magnetic voice, "Yes."Candice was stunned as her mind was a mess.He had been the one to initiate making love with her, and even though she hadn't refused, she was still the passive party. The experience had been painful, with no pleasure for her.She

Candice was shocked. She couldn't grasp what Elio meant by his words. Was it possible that his desire for beauty and pleasure could drive him to such reckless extremes, even at the risk of his own life?Elio declared his desire for her. Wasn't he afraid that her family would kill him for trying to make her his mistress? Didn't he have any moral boundaries?Candice was livid. "Let go of me," she demanded.Elio loosened his grip on her wrist and took a step back.Candice massaged her aching hand. "Elio, just give up. Marry Josie and live a good life with her. Be good to her, and stop chasing after me."With those words, Candice stormed off. She angrily unlocked and pushed through a large iron gate. As she walked, she cursed inwardly at Elio.He was despicable. If he weren't already committed to someone else, she would've considered being with him, even as his secret lover.But Josie had been by his side for many years, and their wedding was just a month away. Yet, here Elio was,

Michaela suppressed her anger and stressed each word carefully. "Wanda, you've been away working in the frontier for so long that you might not realize how disturbing Elio's behavior is. He's Candice's uncle. They're related! Yet he's had an unhealthy fixation on Candice since her childhood."He collected her hair ties, cups, stuffed toys, and other random items. He hoarded her discarded pencil cases and even a used pen. Whenever he visited Morrison Residence, he secretly took things that belonged to Candice and stashed them away."What kind of man obsessively writes diary entries about a young woman? He stole her things, spied on her, stalked her, and filled his entire sketchbook with drawings of her. He…"I was desperate and had to pressure him into finding a girlfriend. But then he and Josie deceived me. I had no option but to make him move abroad. I truly—"Mila cut her off, her voice sharp with fury. "Mom, why did you read Elio's diary?""I did it for his own good," Michaela

There was a persistent knock on the door. Unwilling to respond, Elio remained motionless. His gaze was desolate and distant. It was as if he was lost in another world. It wasn't until the knocking ceased and Mila's voice came to his ears that he snapped back to reality."Elio, it's me, Wanda."Although Mila was rarely home, she held a warm and kind image in Elio's heart. He found those affections he lacked from Michaela in Mila. Shaken from his thoughts, Elio got to his feet and turned the portrait around before heading to the door.As the door was opened, Mila noticed his somber expression and lifeless gaze. She felt a pang of sympathy."Wanda, do you need something?" Elio asked.Mila's eyes crinkled into a smile as she asked softly, "May I come in and sit for a while?"Elio hesitated briefly, then opened the door wider. "Come in."Mila stepped into the spacious room. Despite the brightness of the lights, the atmosphere felt dull and cold. There was a large bed, a row of

Mila sighed. "It's probably best to move on sooner if Candice doesn't have feelings for you. But you shouldn't settle for marrying someone you don't love. Josie isn't the right match for you.""Her aunt is shady," Elio responded with a relaxed drawl.Surprised, Mila asked, "You knew about that?"Elio hummed in acknowledgment.Mila got to her feet and said, "Alright, I should head back. You should get some sleep. Meet me at Sudvilla at noon tomorrow."Sudvilla, a villa granted to Nathan by the government, was located directly opposite Hudson Manor, where Josie lived."Why should I go there?" Elio looked at her, puzzled.With a gentle smile, Mila said, "Come early and lend me a hand."Then, she left Elio's room, quietly closing the door behind her. Elio's gaze lingered on the door, looking desolate.…At noon the following day, Candice arrived in a floral dress complemented by a lace-trimmed sun hat. She carried a wicker basket full of plant seedlings. She stepped out of her

Candice wanted to speak with Mila, but her attention was drawn to Elio. She was captivated as he tilted his head back to drink water; his Adam's apple was unexpectedly alluring.His simple act sent a surge of heat through Candice, leaving her flustered. She swiftly averted her eyes and turned to Mila. "Aunt Chubs, is there anything I can help with?" she asked anxiously.Mila pulled out her phone, her expression turning into a frown as she landed her gaze on it. "I just got some urgent experimental results from work that I need to handle immediately."Confusion clouded Candice's mind.Pointing toward the seedlings in the basket, Mila instructed, "Candice, can you and Elio help me in planting these seedlings? I need to deal with this issue first.""I…" Candice panicked, wanting to make Mila stay. "Aunt Chubs, I—"With a warm smile, Mila began walking away as she said, "I'm swamped right now. Thank you so much, Candice."Candice couldn't bring herself to reject Mila's request. Sh
The Wrong Woman Chapter 886
Candice was captivated by Elio's smile, a sight she realized she had never witnessed before. His smile was faint yet seemed to cast a magical spell.Elio was typically reserved and aloof. It made Candice hope he would smile more often. As she pulled from her thoughts, she met his piercing gaze. She quickly lowered her head and crouched down to pick up some seedlings."Let's begin. Where do you think we should plant these?" Candice asked.Elio approached her and said, "I'll follow your lead."His simple words warmed Candice, sending a flutter straight to her heart. Even so, she tried to keep her composure and focused on planning the garden's layout.Elio listened carefully as she explained her ideas.…Mila stood on the second-floor balcony, secretly watching the garden with a growing smile. Nathan quietly approached and gently wrapped his arms around her from behind. He whispered in her ear, "What are you looking at?"Leaning back against Nathan's chest, Mila sighed softly. "
