Chapter 233 The recording finally ended, and Samuel Thompson, who hadn’t said a word the whole time, suddenly let out a low laugh. “I never pegged you for someone with such interesting hobbies, Ms. White. Planning a little surprise for Mr. Ramirez when he got back p> Alexander Ramirez shot
Chapter 232 Camila looked like she’d seen a ghost, her face pale as paper. Last night, after Mr. Main had finished sorting out the rooms, she’d been so sure that everything was finally going her way. She pictured Alexander walking through her door, maybe smiling at her for once. But
Chapter 231 Camila caught the whispers swirling by the doorway and let a sly smile tug at her lips. This was exactly what she wanted. If she played her cards right, Natalie Watson’s reputation would be trashed, and maybe then she’d finally be forced to leave Cabinda for good. Natalie
Chapter 230 Natalie barely slept a wink last night. By the time her eyes finally closed, it was almost morning. She was still groggy when Isabella and Camila barged into her room, snapping her back to reality. The two of them paced around, sizing up the place like they were
Chapter 229 A heavy sense of humiliation crept up from deep inside Natalie. Her nose prickled and her eyes stung, but she held back her tears. Biting down on her lip, she refused to make a sound. “Ronald Main invited a bunch of reporters today. That crowd heading our way
Chapter 228 Natalie gave Alexander a silent glare, her frustration clear as day. She was just about to put her phone away when Alexander grabbed it from her. “Watching this is just going to mess with your head. Stay here p> He angled the phone, propped it up on the
Chapter 227 Alexander eased himself in front of Steven, blocking his line of sight. “Who are you?” His voice was cold, his eyes sharp. Steven quickly looked away from Natalie, forcing a polite smile. “I’m Steven Wright, marketing manager at Robinson Properties Group.” He held out his business card, but
Chapter 226 Alexander paused for a moment, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. “Having second thoughts about saying goodbye p> “Don’t talk.” Natalie’s voice was barely above a whisper. She kept glancing to the side, like she was trying to watch someone without being noticed. So it
Chapter 225 “Guilty conscience p> Natalie had barely taken two steps before Alexander’s voice drifted over from behind her, low and almost teasing. She let out a quiet sigh and turned around to face him. He was still dressed in his suit, every detail in place, hair styled to perfection
Chapter 224 “It will be perfectly comfortable, I promise,” Mr. Main said quickly, glancing over at Alexander as he spoke. Even though Alexander and Camila were engaged, Alexander had already bought her expensive jewelry at two different auctions. Mr. Main figured his room assignment made sense. Still, Alexander didn’t look
Chapter 223 A line of sleek black sedans and a stretch limo pulled up outside the resort. The doors opened and Alexander Ramirez stepped out, straightening his jacket as he glanced toward the entrance. He was just about to head inside when a bright, girlish voice called out from across
Chapter 222 Camila had to lay it on thick, but she finally talked Savannah into having afternoon tea with her. In the private lounge of the club, Camila fidgeted nervously, glancing at the door every few seconds. When it finally opened, Savannah walked in, her expression stormy. Camila hurried over,
Chapter 221 Natalie stepped out of the elevator and spotted Aaron Lee waiting outside her apartment. “Ms. Watson.” He smiled politely. “Aaron, what brings you here this late?” It was already nine. If he was at her door now, it had to be something important. Aaron pulled something from his
Chapter 220 Bruce knew exactly what the question meant. “My people checked everywhere-official records, the black market, you name it. There’s nothing. No sign Camila White ever bought any kind of drug p> The death of Camila’s ex-husband still lingered over everyone like a bad cloud. They’d found a strange
Chapter 219 Natalie couldn’t believe she was getting grief not just from Alexander but from his whole family. Arianna was fuming. “Do they really think you don’t have anyone on your side? Don’t worry, Natalie. If I have to, I’ll take them on myself p> Arianna could put up with
Chapter 218 Natalie never saw it coming. In a split second, Savannah’s hand came out of nowhere and smacked her across the face. The sting was instant and sharp, heat blooming on her cheek. Natalie’s eyes flew wide in shock as she stared at Savannah, who was practically vibrating with
Chapter 217 The escape plan had completely flopped. Sure, she could have just driven away if she really wanted to, but that would mean never coming back, and that wasn’t an option. Natalie parked her car in the lot, got out, and walked straight past Alexander, pretending not to notice
Chapter 216 As Natalie faded from sight, Camila found herself glancing at Alexander. His eyes were trained straight ahead. Not a single flicker of emotion or distraction. Camila pressed her hands tight around her dress, trying to steady herself. Natalie’s words replayed in her head, cold and sharp. He never
Chapter 215 Natalie’s black dress was strapless, hugging her figure in a way that felt both elegant and dangerously precarious. She glanced down and realized, with growing panic, that the top was slowly slipping lower and lower. Any second now, it might fall right off. Her heart hammered as she
Chapter 214 Natalie swung open the wardrobe and let out a breath when she saw it was empty. She glanced at Alexander, and their eyes met. “You’re not actually thinking—” he started. She didn’t let him finish. She pushed him inside and whispered, “Stay put, and don’t say a word.”
