Chapter 299

Author: Arlo Drake
Without hesitation, Wilson cupped the back of Serena's head and kissed her back deeply. His kisses were careful and lingering at first, then slowly became passionate and demanding.

With one hand holding Serena's head in place and the other gripping her slender waist, he practically hauled her upright and eased her into his lap. His body tightened as the soft curves of her body molded against the hard planes of his, and his system went into a frenzy.

Weak as it was, his voice of reason compelled him to end the kiss before things went further.

But Serena suddenly moaned in the back of her throat, the sound soft yet catalytic. Whatever trace of reason Wilson found vanished into thin air as he pinned her to the bed and deepened the kiss, his teeth grazing her lips hungrily. He pressed her close, willing all and any distance between them to melt away.

The bed rattled slightly beneath them, and the air in the spacious hospital room grew too warm too quickly. The tension between Serena a

    Joseph rubbed the back of his head and said, "I don't think Serena wants to see you right now, Justin…"Justin's face darkened when he heard this. He was about to snap at Joseph and Lauren when the room door opened.Wilson leaned against the doorframe with one hand in his pocket, nonchalance coloring his handsome face as he eyed the trio bickering in the corridor. "Mind the noise."Justin nearly flew into a rage as he beheld Wilson. "Where's Serena?"A calm, collected voice rang out from the room. "Is something the matter?""Rina!" Lauren ducked under Wilson's outstretched arm and hurried into the room. "Rina, how are you feeling?""I'm fine. I got away with only minor wounds and abrasions, but I am pretty exhausted and ended up sleeping for longer than expected," Serena explained."How are you coping mentally?" Lauren pressed, her eyes wide with worry. Serena was already dealing with enough emotional baggage, to begin with, and the traumatic events of the last two days must hav

    Rapport had Joseph and Arthur fall into synchrony as they hoisted Justin out of the hospital room. Lauren laughed at the comical sight of the trio. "It's like watching a pantomime! I guess not even men are immune to theatrics. I'll go eavesdrop on them!"She made to go after the trio, but Willow held her back by the collar."Give them a little privacy to hash things out," Willow said before turning to look at Serena and Wilson. She couldn't help her curiosity as she asked mischievously, "So, what's going on between you and Serena, Wilson?"Wilson answered, "It's not up to me to explain."He eyed Serena meaningfully, his gaze dark and amused. Serena felt a little self-conscious as she said, "We'll talk about this later.""Sure." Wilson smiled as he offered, "I'll give you a ride home."…Joseph and Arthur dragged Justin into a stairwell. Shaking off their vise-like grip, Justin demanded, "I want an explanation right now!"Joseph stammered helplessly, "O-On what?""What do you t

    "Damn it!" Justin punched the wall beside him.Joseph stood in place, feeling awkward as he watched Justin's violent outburst. "Justin, shall I give you some space to calm down?""Go away," Justin bit out. "I don't want to see you or Arthur right now!"Joseph left wordlessly, unsure what to make of the fight earlier.…After being discharged from the hospital, Serena told the others she had to swing by the police precinct. Lauren offered immediately, "I can come with you.""It's alright, you don't have to," Serena replied.Wilson stepped forward. "I can go with her."Serena nodded. "Mr. Quade can come with me. You guys should probably head home."The others left, their expressions unreadable.Lauren muttered under her breath, "It's normal for them to want to spend time with one another, given it's the start of their relationship. Rina isn't the type to turn on her friends the moment she hooks up with a guy. As her friend, I shall respect her and wish her all the best…"After

    All Wilson got from Serena was a polite "Thank you.""Is that all?" Wilson asked, bewildered by the difference in treatment.Serena hesitated for a moment before offering, "I'll buy you a meal next time?"Wilson scoffed in disbelief. "So, Damian gets a pat on the head for being heartbroken by your suffering, and all I get is a 'thank you'?"She eyed him speechlessly. "Do you want me to give you a pat on the head, too?""Yes," Wilson answered boldly.Left without a choice, Serena reached up and rubbed his head. "There, are you happy now?"His face finally softened. "Yeah."Serena looked resigned. She had come to realize just how childish Wilson could be sometimes. As she ruffled his hair, she noticed how soft and silky it was and couldn't resist caressing it a little longer. But just as she was about to draw her hand back, Wilson's straight-backed figure leaned close to her and slumped forward until his head was resting in her lap.His eyes were closed as he muttered, "I'm sl

    The Cullinan sped down the road, and it didn't take long before it pulled up outside the police precinct.When Serena had given the police her statement, Wilson offered to give her a lift home. Before leaving, she asked the police officer on duty about her assailants.The officer's brows furrowed. "As this case involves illegal cross-border activities, it'll be hard for us to intervene with Westeros jurisdiction. But we should be able to weed out those operating in the country."Serena pressed, "The one who goes by 'Whistle'—did he ever mention why he kidnapped me in the first place?""His actual name is Thomas Garcia. He might look like your run-of-the-mill hooligan, but he's tight-lipped. We haven't gotten him to crack yet. All he said about you was that you had a pretty face, and he thought you might fetch a good price," the officer informed."Can I see him?" Serena asked."Uh…" The officer glanced at Wilson, then shook his head. "He's not in a state for visitors right now."

    A sudden thought crossed Mollie's mind. "You don't think he went to see Serena, do you?"Serena was injured during the kidnapping incident, too, and Wilson had been the knight in shining armor who brought her home. If Justin went to see her and saw them together, he might just implode on the spot!Mollie had to stop Justin. With fresh resolve, she clambered out of bed and hurried toward the door. Jenna eyed her with bewilderment and demanded, "Where are you going?""To look for Justin!" Mollie answered agitatedly. She reached the door and pulled it open, only to see someone standing on the other side.Candice looked awkward and out of place as she stood in the corridor in her white coat. She asked warily, "Hey, Mollie. How are you holding up?"Mollie stared at her icily. "What are you doing here?""I came to see if you're doing alright," Candice replied hesitantly, her palms slick with sweat. Candice thought the sky was about to fall on her when she heard that Thomas and his ac

    Candice's knees nearly caved in under her weight when she heard Justin's words, but she willed herself to remain upright. She would not break now, not even when the truth was precariously close to being revealed.She frowned as she turned and said, "I vaguely recall being classmates with Thomas Garcia. I might be mistaken, but he was a troublemaker who couldn't keep up with his studies."I did well in high school and did not usually hang around such questionable company. I could ask my old friends about Thomas if you'd like to look into him, Justin."Justin stared at Candice evenly as if checking for the slightest crack in her expression. She met his gaze, and her eyes widened by a fraction. "Why are you looking at me like that, Justin?"Justin was about to answer when the sound of approaching footsteps cut him off. Wilson was heading in their direction, his long strides eating up the short distance. Upon seeing him, Justin scowled and demanded, "What is he doing here?"Mollie's f

    Something like wicked amusement colored Wilson's expression as he said, "Congratulations on the baby, Mr. Farrow."After that, he spun and left the room with Kayden. He had planned on exposing Candice's affair with Thomas but changed his mind when he saw how protective Jenna and Justin had been over Candice's baby.He decided to wait until the Farrows realized Candice was not carrying their heir, and all their effort to protect her had been wasted. That would be more fun.As for Candice, Wilson had no qualms about letting her enjoy this temporary peace. When the time was right, he would make her pay.…Like a deflated balloon, Candice nearly collapsed with relief when Wilson left the room. She sobbed, "He's terrifying!"Jenna did not take her eyes off Candice's baby bump. "Stop wallowing on the ground. Get up and have the baby checked! We need to know if the baby's alright!""Okay." Candice got to her feet and glanced at Justin. Her cheeks flushed as she said, "Thank you for def

    "We're going out for lunch. Would you like to join us?" Serena invited."Sure," Mollie accepted the invitation.However, her cellphone suddenly started ringing when she was about to leave with Serena. Upon seeing the word "Mom" flashing on the screen, she felt her head throbbing painfully.She picked up the call, and Jenna complained angrily, "Candice is hospitalized again!""Let her be. What has that got to do with me?""Yes, she's not related to you, but the baby in her womb is. Candice is in the same hospital as you. "Maisie said that she's emotionally unstable and yelling at everyone now. Hurry over to her ward and calm her down."Mollie merely felt exhausted at the idea. "I'm… not free now.""What's keeping you busy? Your ward is so close to hers. Go over and check what her problem is."Mollie looked helpless and unwilling, but she couldn't tell Jenna that she had sneaked out of the hospital. Hence, she agreed, "Okay. I must have owed her, and this is karma getting b

    Serena gathered herself and returned to her dessert store, where she found Willow, Lauren, and Joseph inside. Even Violet and Isaac were there."Aren't you going to rest longer, Serena?" Willow asked."I've rested enough, and I feel fine now. The store will open soon, and I have to oversee everything."Serena checked the equipment in the store and brought Isaac to visit the kitchen.Isaac mentioned that he had guided a few pastry chefs before, and their skills were amazing. To this, Serena expressed that she'd welcome them onboard.She already worked things out with store employees and suppliers, and the process was finalized as well. Everything was going smoothly.A smile spread across Serena's face. "It's been hard on everyone recently. Today's lunch is on me.""I won't refuse since Ms. Judd has offered. I want to have seafood for lunch!" Lauren said.Joseph was equally excited. "I'd like to have lobster!"Lauren rolled her eyes at him. "You're asking for too much!""But I'

    Candice was seated on the couch, criticizing her employees harshly. Upon hearing some sounds behind her, she spun her head around in annoyance."Didn't you see the sign hanging outside? We're not open for business today—"She stopped mid-sentence at the sight of Serena's stoic face, and her expression fell. "What are you doing here? You're not welcome in my store!""Here you are." A cold snigger tinged the edge of Serena's lips, and Candice panicked upon seeing it.Yesterday, Jenna had surveillance cameras installed in her villa. Every move she made was watched by Jenna, and it was unbearable for her.She wanted to get out of the house for a stroll but ran into the person she hated the most instead. This was so annoying!A vicious light gleamed past Candice's eyes as she silently cursed Thomas. How could he allow Serena to make it back safely?Serena walked in with her handbag and stopped in front of her. "I have questions for you.""I don't have time for you now.""You know

    After returning home, Serena rested for a day. Then, she gave Mollie a call, asking for Candice.Mollie was eating fruits as she replied, "Candice? Why are you looking for her? She's resting and getting ready for the delivery of the baby. "This baby is very important to my mother… but I don't know what's on her mind and why she insists on keeping Candice around."Mollie sighed, and Serena said, "I'd like to meet her.""I'm not sure whether you can meet her or not, but I'd advise you not to meet her now because she is pregnant. "If she encounters an accident, my mother won't let you off. You know how she is. She can be quite a pain to deal with."Mollie added in a whisper, "Why are you only concerned about Candice? You didn't even ask how I'm doing when I'm severely injured.""I heard about it. You hurt your brain and lost some memories.""Why didn't you visit me, then?"A few seconds passed by in silence before Serena answered, "I think… we're not that close. It seems a litt

    "I… don't understand what you mean," Lila uttered.What did Damian mean by this? Shouldn't he have warned her, asking her to stay away from Justin and not show up in front of him again?Damian approached her, grinning softly. "Let's make a deal, Lila."…Justin was alone in the private room for a while until Damian returned."Where's Lila? Tell her to come in," Justin said casually."I don't think she's coming.""What's happened?""Beats me. I ran into her outside and saw her going into the lounge in a corner. She looks upset. I think she's in some kind of trouble."Damian took a sip of water. "Are you going to check on her, Justin?"Justin paused for a second before rising to his feet. "I'll take a look," he said and went out.The lounge wasn't far, and the door was slightly ajar when he arrived. Just when he wanted to enter, he heard Lila speaking.Her voice was hushed, and she sounded like she was crying. "I'm really out of wits. Mom is in the hospital, waiting for the m

    Damian and Justin eased into casual conversation. As the latter's expression softened, he leaned into the couch and asked, "How's the studio coming along?""It's alright. We're making good progress," Damian answered."Hmm… If I remember correctly, you majored in finance while you were abroad, right?" Justin lit a cigarette. "Why did you switch to information technology after that?""I have no interest in finance." Damian lowered his gaze, hiding the dark look that flashed in his eyes. "Nor any talent, for that matter.""Too bad. You're a bright kid. If you'd followed through with finance, you could manage Farrow Corporation with me," Justin pointed out."Nah, you run a tight ship at Farrow Corporation, and that's good enough," Damian said with a courteous smile. "I'm going to use the restroom."He left the lounge, his gaze devoid of warmth. He had only just exited the restroom when he heard voices coming from the adjacent stairwell.Lila was talking to a woman with heavy makeup.

    Lara pointed out, "From the looks of it, Thomas is quite serious about you. You have nothing to worry about. Focus on the baby, and we'll carry on with our plan.""We may have to reconsider our options," Candice said."What, did you chicken out?" Lara asked."Mom, even if Thomas doesn't rat me out, Justin is already suspicious of me. He's not stupid. Our plan won't be feasible if he looks into this and discovers my involvement."Besides, we still have to worry about Mollie!" Candice gritted her teeth. "Her memory loss is only temporary, and I'll be doomed if she starts recalling the events before the kidnapping!"Lara pressed, "So what do you plan to do next?""We'll need a change of plans… My priority now is to get away from the Farrows," Candice replied. When she hung up on Lara, a plan began to form in her mind.…Justin drove to the club, where the manager led him into a private lounge. Without prompting, the manager had Lila attend to Justin.Lila's eyes lit up when she s

    Justin called Zane immediately after he left the hospital and had the latter look into Candice's relationship with Thomas. He wasn't so stupid as to believe Wilson had shown up at the hospital for nothing.Wilson must have discovered that there was more to Candice and Thomas than she claimed. Ten to one, she had something to do with the trafficking case.Justin was pulled out of his thoughts when his phone rang. Seeing Jenna's name flashing on the screen, he answered the call. "Mom, if you're calling me so you can speak up for Candice, don't bother."Jenna was as overbearing as usual as she said, "I know you don't like Candice and that there is a good chance she was involved in the abduction, but the child she's carrying will be our utmost priority. Do you understand?""And what if she was part of the abduction?" Justin asked."Then you'll have to wait until after she's delivered the baby before you do anything to her," Jenna said matter-of-factly.A dull ache worked its way to J
