Bianca widened her eyes. The Island of Despair! She had heard the name from Luke before and knew how terrifying it was. However, when Luke escaped from there, Percy and the Russian government had destroyed the place. How could someone survive? "Who is your godfather?" Bianca asked with all her might. "He's the same person as Luke's godfather. The difference is that Luke wants to kill him, and I want to avenge him." Abel chuckled coldly and left through the door. He said to the mercenaries standing guard outside. "Watch over her in shifts. Don't let her die." "Yes, Boss," the mercenaries replied. They thought for a while and added, "Boss, can we…" "No!" Abel's gaze turned cold. He warned them, "You cannot lay a finger on that woman. If I find out that you did anything to her, I'll chop your d*ck off." The mercenary shuddered. They were at sea, and they could not run away if Abel wanted to do anything to them. They kept those thoughts and said, "We'll look after her." "Go
"Daddy…" Rainie's eyes were bloodshot. "I trust you, Daddy." Lanie held his sister's hand. "We can take care of ourselves. You must bring Mommy back." Luke crouched down and stretched out the pinky finger of his right hand. That was what Bianca did when she made a promise to the children. "I promise." Rainie made a pinky promise with her father. "Mommy will come back," she mumbled. "Mommy will come back." Lanie also made a pinky promise with Luke. Luke patted their heads and said, "I'll be busy in the next few days. Let Mr. Griffin take care of you, and don't give him any trouble, alright?" "Alright, Daddy. I'll take care of Rainie and Tommy." Lanie took up the responsibility so that Luke would not have to worry about them. Luke saw the determination in his son's eyes. "Brush your teeth and go to bed." "Yes, Daddy." Rainie wiped her tears and went to the bathroom. Lanie also returned to his bedroom. Luke was at ease that his children were so mature. After Lanie and
Hera sat up and chuckled. "That defective baby in your stomach? Heheh, you should thank me instead. If you delivered that baby, I'm sure that the Hiltons will disown you, even if you're already married. Consider this as a blessing in disguise. It's better that you lose the baby before you're married instead of being driven out of the household." Leia clenched the hem of her gown tightly. Her stomach was aching, and she had to sit on the toilet. "You know that I only get to marry Brody because of the baby, Hera. I wouldn't have agreed to help you if I knew that I'd become like this." Listening to Leia's accusatory words, Hera could tell that she would not tell Luke. If Luke wanted to take revenge, Leia would be the first victim. After arriving at that conclusion, Hera said impatiently, "Understand this, Leia, you volunteered to do this. No one forced you." Leia gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She felt as though she was adrift at sea. She had lost the support of the Hil
"You'd better leave, Wayne. The caretaker might wake up any time…" Leia begged. Her eyes were transfixed on the caretaker on the couch, wondering why she did not notice despite them talking at a normal volume. "I knocked her out." Wayne turned on the bedside light, which dazzled Leia's eyes. He sat down on the bed and looked at her pale face without any sign of care. Leia grabbed the bed sheets tightly. Wayne's gaze slowly shifted down from her face to her stomach. Leia noticed that. She wanted to cover her stomach with the blanket. Wayne's gaze turned vicious suddenly. "How dare you harm my child, Leia!" Leia shuddered when facing his gaze. "It was an accident, Wayne. It's all Bianca's fault. Bianca made me lose the child." Wayne reached out and touched her stomach. Through the hospital gown, Leia could feel the icy coldness of Wayne's touch. She shuddered again and explained, "It's really not my fault, Wayne. Bianca planned all this." Wayne gripped her lower ja
In the western Pacific Ocean, a ship bobbed up and down the waves as it sailed northward through a thunderstorm. Bianca laid on the bed. She had been force-fed multiple times. The area surrounding the bed was indescribably messy, and it was starting to stink. She did not know how many days it had been since she boarded the ship. There was only one door, and there were no windows. Her hands were tied, and her mouth was gagged, though her legs were free. However, she was limited to the cabin, so she did not know if it was day or night. Her stomach churned as the boat swayed. She had the urge to vomit, but the cloth in her mouth made her unable to do so. She turned her head away and took deep breaths to calm her stomach down. She had only met three other people aboard the ship -- Abel and the two mercenaries. They did not care that the conditions of the cabin were deteriorating. The bed was beginning to get moldy, but they had no intention of changing it. That was w
Seeing that he had not rested for days, Old Master Crawford was worried for his grandson. He put a sleeper sofa in Luke's bedroom. Luke turned on the light, sat up, kept the bed, and walked out of the study. He opened Tommy's bedroom door. There was a small orange night light next to the bed. Ever since Bianca was abducted, the usually cheerful and playful boy had fallen silent and easily cried. He used to love to watch cartoons and eat snacks, but those could no longer pique his interest. He would even wake up from his nightmares and look for Bianca. Johann suggested that he put a nightlight next to Tommy's bed to soothe his emotions. After doing so, Tommy rarely woke up in the middle of the night. Luke gently stepped inside and saw that Tommy had kicked the blanket onto the floor. He pressed his lips together and covered him again with the blanket. Bianca used to be the one to do that. Bianca would wake up once or twice in the middle of the night to check on their child
Percy stared at her. Seeing the sorrow and loneliness in her eyes, his heart trembled, and that made him feel uncomfortable. "Luke will find her." Percy was surprised that those words came out of his mouth. He was not used to comforting others. Nina looked at him profoundly. She thought that she had misheard just now. Before she could react, Percy stood up. "Go to bed." Nina chuckled wryly when she heard that command. Indeed, she had misheard. Percy was never going to talk to her like that. Nina could not disobey him. Even though she was not in the mood to sleep, she stood up, went into the bedroom, and lay by his side. After she closed her eyes, her other senses became more sensitive. She could not ignore his breathing after being used to living alone. Percy used to want to make out with her very often, but he did not want to sleep with her, so she had some time for herself. Now, all her private time had been occupied by Percy. Nina sighed, and her mind wandered to
"You’re back." A man was sitting right in the middle of the room with his back facing the entrance and against the light.Abel looked at the medical equipment in the room and walked to that man. He sat down. "Yeah, I'm back.""Did you succeed in taking revenge?" The man glanced at Abel and lowered his head, continuing to read his medical book."I'd say it's a success." Abel chuckled and picked up a glass filled with red wine, swaying it. When he saw it at a distance earlier, he thought it was a glass of red wine. However, now that he had gotten a better look, he realized there was a finger inside the red wine.His face went pale and he placed the glass of wine down while cursing. He called the man a maniac for doing such a thing. ‘Why the f*ck is he using wine to preserve his samples?’"What do you mean by that?" asked the man with a spooky voice. He talked softly as though he did not possess any ill intention."I didn't harm Luke Crawford but I've brought his woman to the island
