Chapter 901:
Cole pressed his lips together, offering no answer.
Their eyes held, the air between them warming. Gradually, that shared look softened, turning tender and lingering.
Neither needed to speak, as the truth was clear in their eyes: the mutual fondness between them could not be denied.
Though Cole and Eliana gazed at each other with weighted affection, neither dared admit their feelings. Yet, even without a single word, in this wordless exchange of glances, Cole’s heart felt as though it had taken flight. He smiled, his voice carrying a quiet challenge. “So, you measure a man’s devotion by the amount he spends on you p>
“Not entirely,” Eliana’s reply held velvet steel. “Devotion reveals itself in countless ways—money merely scratches the surface. If you possess a superior method of proof, demonstrate it p>
Cole’s smile deepened, predatory and pleased. Her face glowed with ethereal beauty, each feature carved with devastating precision. Every stolen glance struck him like lightning. His gaze traced the curve of her rose-petal lips, and primitive hunger left his throat parched.
The sensation tortured him—ecstasy wrapped in exquisite agony. Abandoning restraint, he ended their careful dance. Words had served their purpose. His pen flew across another billion-dollar check, pressing the paper into her palm atop its twin.
Eliana’s pulse stuttered, then raced. She studied the two checks in her hands, her voice dropping to silk. “What message lies here p>
Her eyes found his again, mischief dancing in their depths, threading through her tone. “When men shower women with such extravagance, two motives drive them. Either he loathes her completely and buys her permanent absence… or she has ensnared him so thoroughly that only grand gestures can convey his sincerity. Tell me—which truth applies p>

Her honeyed words enveloped him like an enchantment, claiming his very essence. Fire blazed through his bloodstream, while electricity danced across his skin—maddening, irresistible torment spreading through every nerve ending. Beyond her mesmerizing gaze and hypnotic voice lay something deeper. Her fragrance—delicate yet intoxicating—wound around his senses, dissolving rational thought. Logic abandoned him. Only a desperate need remained, pulling him toward her magnetic presence.
Instinct conquered hesitation. He moved closer, his striking face descending until his lips nearly grazed her ear. His heated breath caressed her cheek as raw emotion roughened his whisper. “It means my feelings for you transcend what you could possibly imagine p>
A tremor ran through Eliana. His closeness shattered her composure, and her thoughts flooded back to their paradise month on the island.
They had existed as one entity then, lost in their private universe. Every intimacy had been explored, every boundary crossed, every possible connection forged between two souls. No mysteries remained hidden between their intertwined bodies and hearts.
At that time, she had promised him their future children—one son, one daughter. He had chosen their names with careful love: Felix and Beatrice. Those names had become precious treasures in her heart.
Later on, the third injection had erased her from his memory. Yet, through fate’s twisted labyrinth, destiny had guided them back to this fragile, electric moment.
His memory lived in every cell of her being. As his warm breath whispered across her skin, instinct awakened, her body responding before conscious thought could interfere. Heat consumed her from within, flames licking through her veins while crimson bloomed across her cheeks.
