Late at night. Leia was curled up on her bed, unable to fall asleep. The only thing in her mind was the torment that Wayne had inflicted on her. She would shudder involuntarily every time she thought of what the man did to her. She stretched herself out and stared wide-eyed at the ceiling above her. She did not feel like sleeping at all. Suddenly, a faint fragrance filled her room. Her eyelids began to droop when she caught a whiff of the fragrance. When she could not open her eyes anymore, right at the moment she fell asleep, the fragrance suddenly became a horrible stink, and the air was filled with the thick stench of blood. Thud, thud, thud… A heavy set of footsteps trudged closer to Leia's room. She could also hear a child wailing faintly in the distance, as well as the chilling laughter of men and women. Goosebumps rose on Leia's skin. She abruptly opened her eyes. With shaking hands, she tried to turn on the night light. However, the light did not turn on. '…
Leia had always felt hatred and disgust for Wayne. The man had ravaged her for two years. It was like a nightmare. Leia was more than willing to tell Bianca the truth if she would help her get rid of that man. Even though Luke was killed a long time ago, Bianca could not maintain her composure when she heard It from Leia's mouth. She grabbed Leia's collar tightly and asked viciously, "Why did Wayne Blatt kill Luke? Is it because of you?" Leia was gloating when she saw the crazed glint in Bianca's eyes. "How would I know why? I'm not that freak. All I know is that I'm so happy seeing how helpless and agonized you are. Karma sure hits you hard…" Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a flash of light. It was the light reflected from the dressing mirror. She turned to look at the reflection of the two women. Leia and Bianca both had delicate facial features. Their looks were similar. However, Bianca's features were more pronounced. Her face was the textbook definition of "beau
Madame Rose was not intimidated by Luke because she thought that she had the advantage in numbers. She did not expect that Luke would be brazen enough to take her as a hostage. "Let go of him, Matthew! Otherwise, none of you will survive!" Kassy pointed her gun at Luke's head. Her hand was shaking. Evidently, she was conflicted. She knew of Madame Rose's cruelty better than anyone else. Luke and his followers might be formidable, but they were already seriously injured, and they were not going to be able to successfully escape the heavily-defended island. "If I'm not going to survive this, I don't mind taking all of you down with me!" Luke said coldly. "Heh, you ignorant brat, you won't leave here alive even if you kill me," Madame Rose said brazenly. "If that's the case, all of you can die!" Luke smirked coldly and tightened his vice-like grip on Madame Rose's neck. Her eyes were beginning to glaze over. Madame Rose coughed, and her face turned red. Even so, she yell
Bianca clutched her chest, feeling as though it had been sliced apart by a poisoned knife. She was about to pass out from the pain. She felt a slight relief from the pain in her chest after a few minutes. 'What's going on?' She was confused, but soon she remembered that she felt a similar pain on the day she found out that Luke went missing. She could not linger on that moment for long. When Jack and Queenie noticed that Bianca was there, they beckoned lovingly at her and got her to taste the dishes. "I made some soup for you, Bea. Your mom said that you like light foods, so I didn't put much salt in the soup. Have a taste. What do you think?" Jack said kindly and ladled a small bowl of soup for Bianca. Bianca took a sip. "How is it?" Jack looked at her daughter expectantly. Bianca finished the bowl of soup and said gratefully, "The soup tastes good, Dad. I love it." Being able to eat Mom's cooking and Dad's soup made her feel blissful. She began to feel guilty abou
The Mallory residence. Percy sat by the dining table. He was young and handsome, and his beauty was breathtaking. He watched Bianca as she quietly fed Tommy. Bianca was dressed in a black suit, and her hair was tied in a ponytail. Her face was clean and pure. Percy thought that the woman had become more feminine, perhaps because she had an extra motherly charm on her. He could not resist staring at her. Percy was the one to break the silence. "Ms. Rayne, there are two reasons for inviting you to my house. The first is to send you off, and the second is to give you several pointers about Russia. I'm sorry about what happened to Luke. I didn't expect that to happen. "I found out that Luke's accident was related to the Russian mafia, but the exact reason remains unknown. This will be a risky trip. I'll assign some more bodyguards to protect you." While Bianca fed Tommy a bottle of milk, she said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Mallory. You don't have to apologize to me about Luke.
Marbella Village. The chilly ocean breeze drifted through the window into a run-down fishing boat and woke the man who was in a deep sleep. Luke abruptly sat up, the sound of waves washing onto the shore echoing in his ears. He was startled, his eyes quickly scanned through the room. He realized that he was in a fishing boat. The room was old but it was neat and clean. He was lying on a queen-sized wooden bed with a thin quilt covering his body. Luke thought of getting out of bed but when he tried, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and left arm. Luke frowned and found that there were layers of bandages wrapped around his chest and arm. The bandages smelled like blood and medicine. He remembered that he was badly injured. The moment the plane exploded, he, Gale, and Rain had jumped out of the cabin and into the sea. ‘Where did the two of them go? Who on earth saved me and bandaged my wounds?’ Just as he was about to get out of bed and check h
It was Bianca’s first time in Moscow. The architectural designs here were different from those that Bianca had seen. The boutique shops, high-end hotels, and wealthy residences that were placed side by side were unique and eye-catching. If it were in the past, she would be snapping pictures of the buildings excitedly as a designer. However, at that moment, she felt nothing when she saw the buildings. All that was in her mind was to find Luke as quickly as possible.… Gordan took Bianca to a five-star luxury hotel, and Ray personally welcomed them. When Bianca met Ray for the first time, she was a little surprised. Ray was handsome and had a devilish charm. His blue, deep-set eyes hid his wildness. Although he was in casual clothes, his murderous aura was enough to make others retreat. She had only felt a strong presence like this once and it was with Percy Mallory. What surprised Bianca the most was that even though Vivian and Ray were twins, they did not
Lunch. Bianca, Selena, Tommy, and Vivian all ordered yogurt. Bianca was a considerate person who was great at taking care of others. It shocked Vivian. No one had ever treated her so kindly except for her brother. Vivian kept smiling shyly at Bianca as she was overwhelmed by her kindness. Vivian thought that Bianca was nice, beautiful, gentle, and considerate. Although she was several years older than Bianca, she felt like a younger sister who was being taken care of. Halfway through the meal, Vivian brought out two brocade boxes from her bag and handed them to Bianca and Selena. "Bianca, Selena, when we first met, I didn't know what you would like, but I bought something for both of you. I hope you like them." The brocade boxes contained beautiful and rare gem accessories. One was a bracelet and the other was a necklace. Bianca was unfamiliar with rare gems, but Selena could tell at a glance that the jewelry was worth at least one million e
