"Yes."His cold answer broke her heart. ‘He keeps crushing your hopes, Maia. But you just had to ask, hoping for a better response. What for? You always get hurt,' she reminded herself. “I should’ve known you’d think the worst of me. Of course you’d think I was responsible for the kidnapping. You’ve never trusted me, so I shouldn't have expected otherwise." He shot her a fierce glare. "Listen. You can’t leave until you’ve proven you’re innocent.”"Do you have evidence that I'm behind the kidnapping, Cedric? Why should I listen to you?"He tossed a document onto her lap. "I'm the largest shareholder of Burgess Winery."Maia was shocked to see the title "Winery Reconstruction Plan.""You want to turn the winery into a resort?” She said anxiously, “It's the largest one owned by Burgess Winery. Do you have any idea what you're doing? You might not be able to gain anything from it!"It was a foolish plan that would hurt everyone. How could a shrewd businessman like Cedric have m

The privacy divider blocked the view from the front seat.Maia began to panic, but it was too late. She tried to scream, but his kiss muffled any sound she made. She could only lay defenselessly, her long hair disheveled. A while later, the car came to a stop, and the chauffeur left them alone. Cedric removed his jacket, wrapped it around her, and carried her out of the vehicle.‘Where are we?’Maia gazed at the stacked townhouses before her. It was an upscale development by HL Corporation that had not launched. Then it hit her."You're going to imprison me?"Cedric said coldly, "I can't let a suspect escape, can I?"He carried her into a room and threw her onto a bed with velvet sheets. "You can't do this to me, Cedric!” Maia tried to leave, but he pinned her to the bed and glared at her.He warned, "Don't forget about the winery and your brother."Cedric rose and made his way toward the door. As he was about to leave, he paused."Was the story you told me true?”Maia cl

Susie frowned. "Ms. Maia, Mr. Cedric forbade me from giving you any devices.""Well, he didn't say I couldn't make a call, right? It's just one call, please, Susie," Maia pleaded. Susie glanced around and said, "Ms. Maia, it’s not that I don't want to help you, but this place is under surveillance. Mr. Cedric can watch your every move."Taken aback, Maia looked around her and saw surveillance cameras everywhere. She chuckled bitterly and murmured, "I guess the place is bugged, too, huh?"Susie sighed but didn't deny it. "Eat while the dinner's still warm, okay?"Maia was left alone in the dining hall but had lost her appetite. She squeezed the utensils in her hands tightly.She had no choice but to hope that Rita would be found soon. Still, something about all of this made her uneasy. There was more than meets the eye about Rita's kidnapping. She could only hope to leave the townhouse soon.Letting out a bitter chuckle, she finished her meal and headed upstairs. Maia curled
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 26 I Hate You, Cedric!
Cedric marched toward the door without answering. Soon, his luxury car sped out from the manor.Susie was the only person Maia had seen in several days. After dinner, when Susie cleared the table, the glass container fell to the floor and shattered with a crash. Looking flustered, Susie quickly said, "Oh my, I'm so clumsy! I'll clean it up right away, Ms. Maia."Maia saw the glass shards on the floor and said, "Be careful, okay?"Susie hastily answered, "I will. Thank you, Ms. Maia."Maia yawned multiple times while nodding. Feeling tired for no apparent reason, she looked at the clock and saw that it was only around seven. ‘Is it because I didn't sleep well last night?’ She went upstairs to her bed and soon drifted off to sleep. After some time, a flurry of footsteps was heard, and she was yanked off the bed. "Maia, why did you lie to me?" With a fierce expression, Cedric threw Zera’s phone onto the bed. Still groggy, Maia heard a recording from the phone. "It's Maia
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 27 On Fire
She finally said those words after loving him for so many years.He stopped without looking at her, and said, “So be it.”Her vision blurred as she fought back her tears. When he left, Maia finally broke down in sobs. She wanted to end their marriage on a good note, but she had been wrong. Since it was dark outside, she could only see her reflection in the panoramic window. She smiled bitterly. Her unwavering love for Cedric had just died and could never be revived.A while later, a thick plume of smoke crept in from outside the door. This alarmed her. Struggling to get up, she stumbled toward the door. When she exited her bedroom, she was shocked to find a fire raging downstairs. She stood frozen, unsure of what to do.‘The place is on fire! But how?’She started screaming, "Help!"With a hand covering her mouth and nose, she wanted to rush downstairs. However, the fire was fierce. Her legs went limp, and she fell on the second-floor corridor. ‘What can I do now? I have t

It was the first time she saw him like this. "Cedric…" she called out his name, tears welling up. He was always like this, giving her hope when she was about to give up. This time, however, she would not fall for it. Seeing her in such distress, Cedric cursed and quickly pulled her into his chest. He covered her mouth and nose with a damp towel."Are you alright?"Clutching his jacket, she shook her head and wept despite herself. He looked conflicted when he saw how helpless she was. Cedric asked in a calm voice, "Are you hurt?" She shook her head. "Can you walk?" They had to leave before the fire reached the west end. Even though her legs were weak, Maia managed to get to her feet with his help."I can," she said softly. Perhaps she had become much braver and calmer due to his presence. "Follow me." Grabbing her hand, he covered his nose and mouth and led her toward the stairs on the west side.The fire destroyed the townhouse's east side and quickly spread to the

'This time, I'm going to make you regret it for the rest of your life!' she thought. "Stay close!" Cedric said as he rushed out with her.The window was their only chance. If they could make it through the living room, they would be able to escape to safety.Holding his hand, she kept pace with him and hurried into the living room. The fire was raging, but she felt no fear at this moment.The heat caused the chandelier to shatter and fall as they crossed the living room, making several loud sounds.At that very moment, Maia let go of his hand and shoved him away with all her strength. The chandelier crashed between them, sending flames everywhere and trapping her completely.In an instant, the fire surged. Shoved out of the window, Cedric turned and saw what was happening. "Maia!" He screamed like a madman. Cedric tried to charge back inside, but Baz and others held him back. "Don't do it, sir!""You can't save her! It's too late."The flames soared higher, forcing Maia

Baz quickly darted over and pushed Nigel off his boss. "Sir, Mr. Cedric tried to save Ms. Maia!"Nigel scoffed. "He tried to save Maia? More like trying to get her killed!"Then he pointed at Cedric. "Maia endured your family's suspicions and mistreatment for years, but you’re all indebted to her. Especially you, Cedric!"The deal that helped your family turn things around? You only got it because Maia visited Lonnie Knowles multiple times and persuaded him to give you the deal!" Tears were welling up in his eyes. "What did you say?" Cedric approached Nigel, his eyes bloodshot, and shouted, "Say it again!"Nigel continued, "You thought she was trying to steal documents from your company and never believed her, no matter how she explained. Maia did countless things behind your back for your sake. You didn’t deserve her at all!"Cedric clenched his fists, allowing Nigel to scold him. Part of him seemed to have died along with Maia. "Just fuck off, alright? We'll bring her body h

Amanda came to sit next to Maia as she said, “I’m glad you’ve noticed this as well. Lauren is usually quite into the drama that she’s watching on TV. Today’s episode was a sad one, so I was wondering why she was still so happy watching it.” Lauren smiled back at them and replied, “I’m just really happy. I’ve never thought that I’d be able to see my eldest son again and that he has such a kind and beautiful wife by his side. “Eddie was also able to find his loved one, and I was lucky enough to be a grandmother. I never thought that I’d be able to go on a family trip with all my sons.” She started to tear up.“Lauren, don’t cry,” Maia said as she handed Lauren a handkerchief to dry her tears. Lauren wiped her tears as she smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry about me. I’m just being dramatic.” She looked around and asked, “Where’s Cedric? Is he with Eddie?”Maia nodded. “Yeah. This new project is a bit of a hassle, so he went over to try to help.” Lauren sighed, “Eddie’s father an

Cedric just smiled when he saw Maia’s worried reaction. “You sure you’ll keep your promise?” Maia tugged the blanket closer to herself and nodded. Maia would not dare to say no. If Cedric decided to do as he had said, she would just end up in bed the whole morning. “We can register our marriage anytime. You mean it?” She knew that Cedric was just baiting her, but she had no choice. She did not know what he would do next. When she glanced at his handsome face, her heart could not help but skip a beat. Just then, Cedric took out two pieces of paper from the bedside drawer. Maia was taken aback as she saw the document. They were marriage registration forms, and they were already filled in. “T-This was a setup! You’ve already had this all planned out from the beginning!” Maia scanned through the forms and was surprised to see that the only section left empty was the signature. Maia did not know when Cedric had started to prepare all this, but it looked like it had been a whil
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 692 Baz Is a Coward
Cedric glanced at Baz and asked, “How does it feel to miss someone so much?”Baz’s smile froze as he shook his head quickly. “Now, I can finally understand why you hate being separated from Ms. Maia.”Cedric just looked at Baz coldly. Baz quickly added when he noticed Cedric’s glare, “I’m just saying that you love your wife very much, and that man who’s like you would definitely understand.”“That’s a fact,” Cedric replied as he turned around and walked back into the bedroom. Baz immediately stopped him as he asked. “Mr. Cedric, why don’t you tell Ms. Maia the real reason why you’re so against calling Ms. Lauren your mother? Why didn’t you tell her the scars on your back were inflicted by Ms. Rita?” It was a horrible and unimaginable part of his childhood. “I don’t want to frighten her.”“But it’s difficult for you as well, Mr. Cedric. Calling Ms. Lauren your mother brings back horrible memories for you too.” “It doesn’t matter. I’ll do anything for her.” Cedric replied as he

“Is that true?” Gigi asked her grandmother.Lauren nodded and said, “Of course it is. Has grandma ever lied to you?”“Wow! Grandma, what was Daddy like when he was a kid?” Gigi was excited. She was not sleepy anymore as she pestered Lauren to tell her more. “Whenever I brought him to attend events, he would always cry. I still remember he had wet his pants once in kindergarten.” Gigi covered her mouth and giggled happily. Amanda laughed and looked at Eddie. “Did you really wet your pants?”Eddie palmed his forehead and told his mother, “Stop embarrassing me in front of my daughter, Mom.” Lauren just smiled happily back at her son. At the same time, Maia tugged on the hem of Cedric’s shirt and questioned cheekily, “Did you wet your pants when you were a kid?” Cedric drew her into his arms in response and threatened, “Maia, it seems like you won’t be able to go to bed tonight.” “I’m not afraid of your empty threats,” Maia replied. “Are you sure about that?”Maia nod

It was hard to believe he’d change his mind out of nowhere. She blinked and gawked at him. She almost forgot to breathe because of the sheer shock. Her face turned red from it, too. “Hey, breathe.” Cedric frowned. He realized her eyes were widening and her cheeks were completely reddened. Then, her lungs worked, and she started drawing breath again. She gripped the hem of his shirt instinctively. “Hmm?” Cocking his brow, he looked at her casually while taking her hands in his. “Do you want to know why I changed my mind?”She nodded immediately. Needless to say, she wanted to spring that question on him, but she wondered if she should. On the other hand, he merely chuckled and didn’t say anything. All he did was fix a deep, passionate stare at her. His eyes were filled with love and affection when he did it. Realizing that he wasn’t going to talk, she was bewildered. “W-Why aren’t you saying anything?”His grin widened at what she said. Reaching out, he pinched her fair ch

Taking his hands, she rested her fair cheeks on his palm.“Is there another reason you did it?” She asked. “I had someone plant something in the painting.”“What do you mean?” She pressed.“A wire.”Then, it hit her. “D-Does this mean you knew Fidelia would buy the painting at all costs?”“Mm-hmm.” He nodded.Pursing her lips, she said, “I guess it tracks. After all, Fidelia will surely buy anything you donate to Nordic College. She loves you so much that she peeled an entire bowl of prawns for you.”“Do peeling prawns mean she loves me?” He cocked his brow.She nodded instinctively.“Well, then. Do you know how much I love you now?”Maia was initially pondering something, but she was scattered the moment she heard what he said!Her face turned red. She couldn’t decide if she should nod or shake her head now. The only thing she could do now was change the topic. “Wait a minute. I just asked Gigi to bid on it. Did I almost mess up your plan?” Her brows were furrowed. She

“Maia!” Amanda called out to her and hastened over. “D-Did you just say I was already on trending search?”“Mm-hmm.” Nodding, she handed her phone to Amanda. Amanda saw the search topic ‘Amanda Tate Burst Out Laughing.’ and was rooted to the spot.“H-How’s this already up there?”Maia chuckled. “There are so many people in the dining hall. There’s no way you can keep it from spreading on the internet for long. Even Gigi and Eddie got on the trending search. They were right behind you. “Valentines Group has also started working on the public relations angle. I browsed the internet and didn’t find any overly vicious remarks either. None of the marketing accounts were trying to stir up trouble either. All of Gigi’s pictures were censored as well. So, there’s nothing to be worried about here.”Amanda let out a sigh of relief at what she said. “It’s a good thing that no one attacked Gigi on the internet. Otherwise, I’m going to start chasing them with a machete that’s one foot long!

“Why, you!” Fidelia took the glass of fruit juice from the table and spilled it all over him!The sticky juices clung to his cheeks for a second before rolling down them.“Listen up, plastic face! It doesn’t matter if I can’t lay a finger on Maia because Cedric loves and protects her. It isn’t your place to make fun of me! Who do you think you are, Neilson? “You’re nothing more than my family’s lap dog. Look at how stiff your face is. You’ve wasted a perfectly good glass of fruit juice!”Staring at him angrily, Fidelia warned him nastily. She was so gripped with rage that her chest was rising and falling hastily. Then, she gritted her teeth and threw the empty glass at him.Catching the glass midair, he lowered his head. “You make a fine point, Ms. Fidelia.” Wiping the fruit juice from his cheeks, he apologized again. “Please calm down, Ms. Fidelia. You have to look at where we are now. It’d be wise not to make Mr. Thomas mad again.”“Are you seriously warning me again? Who do

Maia made up a reason so Amanda could take Gigi away. Amanda nodded, carried her daughter, and left the scene. All Gigi did was speak the truth, but Fidelia’s face grew grim and shot the three-year-old girl a terrible look. It was clear that Fidelia might do something outrageous to Gigi again if she didn’t divert her attention from the little girl. After all, Fidelia didn’t care about the consequences of her actions at all!So, she looked at Fidelia and said, “I’m not sure why you kept trying to win my husband’s heart, but I’ve been sitting here the whole time. Are you ignoring me on purpose? Or, are you so arrogant that you care only about Cedric and nobody else?”Fidelia immediately shifted her gaze to Maia. Glaring at her, she directed all of her anger and frustration at Maia. “What are you trying to say, Maia? My dad saved Cedric’s life. So, is there anything wrong with me peeling the shrimp for him? What’s the problem if I try to win his heart? What does it have to do with
