Jessica didn't dare to move, fearing any physical contact with him. Her voice trembled, "I have the virus... um..."Before she could finish, she was forcefully turned around, feeling a rush of water as Mr. Marcus entered the hot spring pool. Suddenly, he pressed her against the wall of the pool, his shadow looming over her, and his lips captured hers.Jessica's eyes widened in shock and fear. Due to the shock, she loosened her grip on the towel, her entire white body sinking into his embrace. Jessica then realized that Mr. Marcus's clothes had somehow been taken off at some point, and their smooth skin rubbed against each other. She was stunned...Mr. Marcus held her, forcefully pulling at her lips and tongue, teasing and entwining them together. His hot tongue swept over her, wherever it touched felt scorching hot, like a raging fire spreading from that spot, burning through her entire body."I don't care," Mr. Marcus locked his scorching gaze on her face, a hint of wickedness in his
Listening to the maid's report, Phyllis just gave a faint "uh-huh" and pondered as she looked at the nearly two-meter-tall cactus in the courtyard, lost in thought. The virus situation was tricky—the man only had seven days to live, and the woman wouldn't last much longer either.Should she watch them die or save them?Phyllis chuckled lightly, a hint of self-deprecation. She could barely save herself, let alone others. Louis would never agree to let them leave. He might seem kind, but he was cunning and ruthless. He would think she would let them go, only to attract Victor.Phyllis thought it over and fell silent.After a while, she stood up, left her villa, and headed towards Prince Louis's palace.The courtyard was spacious and bright, with a small rose garden.Prince Louis was practicing swordsmanship. He was highly skilled in Chinese swordsmanship, his techniques exquisite, his moves elegant, and his figure tall and straight. Watching him practice was quite a sight.A colonel saw
Phyllis met his gaze fearlessly. "Am I wrong? Clinging onto me, neglecting your own country—how is that any different from a lost dog? It's not like S country has to be attacked for you to be considered one. Let me advise you, Victor has never been patient with me. There are only about ten days left until the time he and I agreed upon. If he doesn't hear from me by then, who knows, he might actually attack your S country.""You..." Prince Louis' face turned pale, and then he smirked coldly.Phyllis looked at him, unfazed. She hit the nail on the head, saying, "You sacrificed me to gain power in the first place, finally got what you wanted, and then lost me. What's the point? You not only lost power but also lost me. So, wasn't it all in vain when you handed me over to Andrew? You bet on the wrong horse.""Phyllis, how many days has it been since you paid any attention to what's happening out there?" Prince Louis suddenly remarked, with a faint smile, looking stunning and captivating.
Phyllis got back to the villa and settled back into her lounger with a book. Reading had become her favorite pastime, especially in this deserted desert where she had no idea what else to do to pass the time.Inside the villa, Mr. Marcus and Jessica's long love-making hadn't come to a stop yet.For Mr. Marcus, it was a long-awaited romantic night. It seemed like he was the one who had the reaction after eating Sapote, not Jessica.As for Jessica, she reacted strongly to Sapote, melting into a puddle of desire in Mr. Marcus's arms, passionate and wild throughout.Mr. Marcus had been dreaming of this kind of initiative from Jessica. They made love twice in the hot spring pool, but because of the slippery ground, Mr. Marcus couldn't fully engage, so he carried Jessica to bed for more.They were consumed by desire, with nothing else in the world mattering at that moment except for the swirling passion in their minds.Moans and gasps filled the room.Jessica was forced to comply with his v
"Are you worried that Saxon and Prince Louis are in cahoots?" Phyllis shared Marcus's concern after learning their identities.Marcus nodded.Jessica, on the other hand, remained calm. She said, "Prince Louis has promised to let us leave. Once we're on the plane, the ball's in our court. Worst case scenario, we kill the pilot, or worst comes to worst, we reenact what happened a few days ago. We've already escaped death once, haven't we? There's no use worrying; this is our only chance."If this had been before, Jessica would never have spoken so coldly about killing the pilot. But in just a short time, she had changed a lot. This was, after all, a dog-eat-dog world.Mr. Marcus gave her a deep look, a faint smile playing on his lips, agreeing with Jessica's words.Indeed, the worst was yet to come.Phyllis said, "Maybe I'm being paranoid. Maybe Louis and Saxon haven't been in contact, and besides, Saxon wouldn't have accurately predicted that you would fall into Louis's hands. Let's go
Jessica had been through heart-stopping moments like this before, but this one was even more thrilling than in the desert. She paled with shock, clutching Mr. Marcus's shoulder tightly, feeling the sensation of weightlessness..."Don't be afraid, I've got you..." Mr. Marcus whispered...With a splash, they plunged into the sea. Almost simultaneously, the plane exploded...Flames erupted, debris scattered...Mr. Marcus pulled Jessica to the surface from the depths of the sea. Because it had happened so suddenly, Jessica swallowed several mouthfuls of seawater, coughing desperately as she clung to Mr. Marcus, struggling to catch her breath.As she regained her strength, Mr. Marcus suddenly grabbed the back of her head and kissed her fiercely, almost as if he were trying to devour her rather than kiss her. His kisses were intense, his bites wild, and she tasted blood on her lips.It was a frenzy born of surviving death.Nerves, excitement, fear, and the almost ecstatic joy of narrowly es
"Could it be Saxon's people coming?" Jessica asked anxiously.Mr. Marcus pondered. He had signaled the Ghost Gang. If they received it, they would quickly determine that they were at sea. It could be the Ghost Gang's people, but it could also be Saxon's.After all, this was a border area, and it was convenient for people from both sides to come.Suddenly, the sound of the helicopter circling above them sounded again. It was a stealth helicopter, hidden in the sky, and only Saxon's voice floated on the sea surface. "Mr. Marcus, I know you're down there. Come out, don't push your luck."His voice carried a hint of cold laughter, making Mr. Marcus and Jessica furrow their brows.However, another voice, young and cold, also came through the sea breeze. "This is the ocean, there is plenty of fish and plenty of nets. Saxon, I'm ready to fight you!""Henry..." Jessica and Mr. Marcus both shouted Henry's name when they heard this voice, especially Jessica. She was so excited, tears streaming
The diving plane couldn't withstand the intense machine gun fire and had to pull back.Bullets rained down on the sea, and Jessica's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it might leap out of her throat, the noise was deafening. They were trapped in the water, with nowhere to go, and one wrong move could mean death for them.It was the first time she had witnessed such an intense aerial battle up close; it was truly terrifying.Bullets fell like rain on the sea surface, shells exploded, and there was a chilling sense of danger. The firelight cast a red hue over the area, shocking Jessica to the core..."Charge forward, catch them, at any cost," Saxon ordered sternly. He would not allow those so close to escape; if they did, it would be nearly impossible to catch them again.A nimble fighter jet suddenly dove down, and Henry's brow furrowed. Amid Panther's exclamation, Henry remained calm. "Let's see what Edward's high-speed magnetic pulse scanner can do," he said calmly.Antonio smi
