When he was in Marbella Village, Luke had not contacted anyone, including Bianca. Marbella Village was isolated from the world and was still using the barter system to trade. It was fairly backward when it came to information and communication. Moreover, the League of Shadows had eyes and ears everywhere. If he contacted Bianca, he was sure that the League of Shadows would be able to trace his whereabouts within half a day. The League of Shadows was known to be brutal and inhuman. If they learned that Luke was alive and reached out to his contacts, they would kill them. He could not bear to put the woman he loved so much and their children in harm’s way.…Moscow. Vivian took Bianca and Selena shopping. They went to Aviapark, a well-known shopping mall in Moscow. Aviapark was known as one of the world's top ten shopping malls, comparable to Champs Elysées in Paris. The main attraction of the shopping mall was the eye-catching arches and the be
Kassy had a dazed look of suspicion the moment she saw Bianca. ‘Why does she look so familiar?’ However, she was sure that she had never seen her before this. Just as Kassy was about to take a second look at Bianca, she received an urgent call. When she saw the caller ID, Kassy's brows wrinkled further. When she answered the phone, her face changed abruptly when she heard the news. "Yes, Godfather, I'll come back right away!" Kassy was no longer bothered with the dress nor Bianca. She rushed off in her ten-centimeter high heels. Bianca was impressed that Kassy could walk so smoothly and quickly even in high heels. Professional models would be ashamed if they could see her. Bianca, who was immersed in her thoughts, did not realize that she had a narrow miss with danger earlier. … Women's friendships were easy to form. Shopping made the three women, who were initially not close with each other, grow a sisterly bond. When Vivian was changi
Bianca was unsure what had happened. A minute ago, they were just talking about going to a spa and a hair salon. However, out of the blue, Vivian insisted on heading home immediately. She held Vivian's hand and asked worriedly, "What’s going on? What happened to Gordan?" Vivian shook her head gently and kept quiet. Her brother's roar echoed in her mind, "Come home now! Gordan is a bastard and I’m going to kill him! He brought someone home to mess around with. Are you going to do anything about it?!" At that moment, Vivian's heart felt like it had been stabbed by a sharp knife. Intense shame overwhelmed her, and she was not sure what to do. She did not believe it and even explained to Ray on the phone, "Ray, this must be a misunderstanding. Gordan… He… He wouldn’t do this to me. Wait for me, I'll come back right away. Before I get home, please don't hurt him. Otherwise, you’ll never hear the end of it from me!" Even in a situation as such, Vivian was stil
Bianca's silence made Ray think that she would not interfere in his decision, so he vented all his anger on Gordan and intended to beat him to death. Ray was known to be cruel. If he wanted someone dead, he would be merciless and hold nothing back. Gordan protected his head with his hands as he curled up into a ball. He endured it at first. Eventually, it was unsure whether he could no longer stand the pain or if it was because he felt embarrassed in front of Bianca... He suddenly grabbed Ray's hand. His blood-stained face snarled at Ray as he shouted, "Kill me if you want to! I’m not afraid of you just because you’re the godfather of the Mafia! If Luke were around, you’d never dare to lay a finger on me. Your sister is so ugly that she makes me lose my appetite every time I see her. Who the f*ck would want to marry her? "At that time, what happened between us was consensual. She should thank God for the rest of her life that I took her virginity. How could you
The sun was setting. Luke drove a fishing boat on the surface of the sea. From afar, he could see a luxury cruise ship. The cruise ship was brilliantly lit. There was a party going on. He had been to such occasions before. He knew that people from the upper layers of society loved to host tacky events like those to flaunt their family's wealth. He narrowed his gaze and thought of an idea. Instantly, he abandoned the fishing boat, dove into the sea elegantly like a swordfish, and swam toward the cruise ship… In the VIP cabin of the cruise ship. A young and handsome man was dressed in the classic English style. His skin was more delicate than a female, and his deep blue eyes and sculpted mixed-blood features inspired romance. He stood tall and straight like a noble in front of the window, looking down at the hall while slightly frowning. He seemed like a gentleman, but his thin lips were slightly pressed together in disapproval. In front of him was Shanna, a sweet, ch
"Where do you think you're looking?" The man behind Anand spoke hoarsely, and his grip on Anand became tighter. Anand dared not look around, but he saw that the man had rolled up the sleeve of the arm that was pinning him. Terrifying scars crisscrossed the muscular arm. Anand suddenly remembered that Bianca's husband had been missing for two years. When he wanted to visit Bianca, she had rejected him, and he did not pursue the matter further. Where had Luke Crawford been in the past two years? What had he been through? No one would know. From what Anand could see, he could tell that Luke had been suffering. Otherwise, the wealthy and noble Luke would not have so many scars. Suddenly, a servant knocked on the cabin door. "Mr. Anand, were you quarreling with Ms. Shanna earlier? Madam wants you to meet her in the front hall…" Anand could feel something hard and tubular press into his waist. "Listen to me if you want to live. Tell her that you're occupied now." Luke's ton
When Bianca heard that voice, she felt an invisible hand grip her heart, and the pain caused her to tremble uncontrollably. Tears started to fall. "Luke… is that you? Is that really you, Luke?" The woman's stifled sobs were very soft. Like a wisp of smoke, it traveled through the phone and entered Luke's ear. It was as though he could see Bianca's crying face in front of him. Luke's heart wrenched, but he forced himself to stay calm. "Don't cry… It's me. I'm still alive. Listen to me. I'm in a risky situation now, and I can't contact you too often. Otherwise, you and the children will be in danger. I can't tell you too much now, but when I get home, I'll tell you what happened to me over the past two years…" Now, she was like a flower blooming under the sun, but he could only look at her from the shadows. He wanted to pluck that flower, but he could not risk exposing himself. Bianca wanted to stop crying, but she could not stop her tears. "Alright, we'll wait for your retur
Bianca dreamed of Luke that night. In the dream, they were lying on a meadow. The willow trees were sprouting, and the sun was gentle. Her face was buried in his chest. One hand was caressing his handsome face, immersed in the bliss of reunion, while the other hand was playfully punching him. She alternated between crying and laughing, asking him, "Where have you been for the past two years? Don't you know that I've almost lost my mind thinking about you?" He did not speak, but she could see her reflection in his clear eyes. His gaze was so gentle and profound that she could drown in it. He kissed her madly. "I miss you, Bianca, I miss you," he mumbled. Their limbs intertwined with each other. She could sense the warmth of his body. His soul belonged to her. Just when she was about to tear his clothes away, she felt her body suddenly sink, waking up from her dream. She opened her eyes and saw a pair of eyes as clear and profound as Luke's. Tommy sprawled mischievously
