Malcolm had once been a demonic figure that terrorized Simeria. Now, there was finally a woman who had truly captured his heart, and this seemed to have completely changed him."Aren't you worried? He's your brother," Natalie asked her husband.Her use of 'brother' darkened Austin's gaze even more."Nat, you still don’t get it!""Okay, okay, I was just kidding."Their world had been so depressing lately; she just wanted to lighten the mood a bit.A smile tugged at the corners of the man's lips. Natalie knew there was no room for sentimentality in their world."This time, he's really in for it. Bianca always handles things with maturity. She won't keep this child," said Natalie.That was right!Bianca was mature, so Malcolm's antics were like child's play to her. They just couldn't see eye to eye on anything, whether it was their outlook on life or... how they handled things. They were on opposite ends of the spectrum.-Malcolm was furious.Just the thought of Natalie's att
Crystal's expression froze when she heard Seraphine say she wanted to leave Simeria."Miss, what are you saying?"Leave Simeria? What would that mean for Seraphine? It meant everything she had once possessed would vanish, and her life might even worsen."Mother is gone. In Simeria, no one will protect me," Seraphine stated.Even if Eleanor were here, what difference would it make? Both Seraphine and Crystal knew that Eleanor's attention would still have been on Bianca."You don't know how terrifying he is," said Seraphine, Malcolm’s suffocating presence making her want to flee.But Crystal interjected, "The outside world isn't as beautiful as you think."Beautiful?In her world, that word was nothing but wishful thinking. But hearing Crystal say this made Seraphine wonder if she could endure an even worse life than now."She's proud, she won't keep the child," said Crystal, who understood Seraphine's concern.Because Bianca was pregnant now, Seraphine was worried that Malcolm
After all, the Holly family and Malcolm had been at odds for a long time. Especially with Eleanor's attitude before, which was something Malcolm couldn't stand. Now that he had become part of Bianca's family, there were still some things he hadn't quite adjusted to…-Malcolm was having a tough time, and Cedric wasn't faring much better. Natalie had trapped him in Simeria this time. As for Wexford, she was going all out, aiming to crush him and everything he stood for.After receiving a phone call, Kyle approached Cedric with evident concern. The tension in his voice was palpable as he spoke."Sir!"Cedric inquired, "What did Irwin say?""He wants you to talk to her as soon as possible."Her, meaning Natalie. Just one member of the Jarvis family would have been enough trouble, but now she had Austin backing her up too.Cedric closed his eyes briefly, a glint of cold determination flashing in them."Mr. Frazier said that this time she..." Kyle trailed off, not continuing.She
"Why is Natalie messing with Irwin and Wexford's affairs?" asked Malcolm.Horatio glanced at Malcolm, sensing the weight behind his words. With everything going on with Bianca, he almost forgot why Cedric came to Simeria in the first place."Mr. Johnson started everything," replied Horatio.Malcolm understood instantly.Cedric? Now, this was intriguing.Malcolm couldn't fathom it. Natalie was so important to Cedric, yet he kept hurting her again and again. It seemed that to Cedric, Isabella’s daughter was even more important than Natalie.And somehow, Cedric kept letting go, yet never truly accepting it. But upon reflection, Malcolm and Cedric were perhaps two of a kind."Keep an eye on Irwin too!" Malcolm instructed.Malcolm had always been in an environment where he had to be suspicious of everything, constantly feeling like there was something more complicated hiding behind it all. After all, whether it was Irwin or Cedric, neither were saints."Yes, sir!" Horatio nodded, u
When Malcolm arrived at the hospital, Bianca was still in the operating room. With a resounding kick, he knocked over an iron chair. Horatio followed behind him, his heart pounding.Upon learning of Malcolm's arrival, the hospital director hurried over.The sight of Malcolm's demonic expression made the director break into a cold sweat. Having received the news of Malcolm's impending arrival, the director had immediately gathered all the relevant information about Bianca."Lord Malcolm.""What's going on?" Malcolm's voice was icy.Why was she in the operating room? What kind of surgery…?!"When Ms. Sanders was brought in, she was covered in blood. The child couldn't have survived," the director explained.The tension in the corridor escalated.Malcolm's body trembled slightly, and when Curtis arrived, he saw the younger man's back, weighed down by grief. At this moment, Malcolm's world seemed to be engulfed in a storm."She..."What happened? How did she get into a car accide
It was clear now. Natalie had shown them what a gentle lamb looked like when forced to fight back. Irwin's aura was not pleasant."I told you not to interfere with Kayla's affairs," Irwin reminded Cedric.But had Cedric listened back then? Not a chance. He didn't listen to anything!Isabella's matter was a thorn in Natalie's side, and even Kayla's involvement felt like manipulation. How could Natalie accept that?Irwin had realized this afterward and refrained from getting involved in many things. But what caught him off guard was Cedric actually bringing Kayla along, despite Natalie's extreme aversion to her."You should go back," Cedric said to Irwin, unwilling to dwell on the past.He had witnessed Natalie's firmness during this time. If she said something, she meant it.Irwin remained silent as Cedric walked away. Looking at the familiar sights of Simeria, it felt like home to him because Natalie was here."Everything you did for her previously doesn't matter anymore," Irwi
In the VIP ward of Central Hospital, Bianca lay on the bed, her face slightly pale. Curtis and Malcolm stood by her side.Sensing Malcolm's chilling aura, Curtis glanced at him and said, "Lord Malcolm, you should head back."Malcolm remained silent, casting a glance at Curtis. No one knew how much he desired to tear apart the woman lying on the bed. The investigation had just concluded: the accident was caused by her driving while wearing high heels.That cursed woman had done it intentionally, hadn't she? Had she resorted to such an extreme measure just because she didn’t want to keep their child?Malcolm, who usually struggled to control his emotions, didn't say anything to Curtis this time. He just turned and left.As they exited the hospital, Horatio followed Malcolm with a hint of concern."Lord Malcolm...""She did it on purpose, didn't she?"Malcolm regretted not chasing after Bianca earlier. She knew he had control over all the hospitals in Simeria, so she had chosen to
In no time, Bianca moved to another room, completely different from the one Eleanor had prepared. This room's decor suited her taste. As a lawyer, she preferred simplicity and tidiness over extravagance."Thank you," Bianca said, acknowledging Carol's efforts."Sir has always respected your wishes, Ms. Bianca. He's your father, and if you have any requests, feel free to tell him. He'll be happy to accommodate," Carol assured her.Bianca nodded in agreement as Carol left the room.Feeling exhausted after her surgery, Bianca quickly drifted into a drowsy state. But her phone buzzed persistently, interrupting her rest."Hello," she answered groggily, her voice heavy with sleepiness."Why aren't you at the hospital?" Malcolm's voice came through the phone, barely concealing his anger.Since the miscarriage, he had been on edge, as if Bianca had deliberately caused it. Bianca couldn't be bothered to engage with him and hung up without a word.As soon as she ended the call, her phone
