At NAS Group.Wendy walked into the office and said to Ivan, "Mr. Burke, Ms. Starr's visa has been processed.""Good." Ivan lounged on the sofa, a smile playing on his lips. He was clearly in a good mood.Everything locally had been taken care of.Yasmin was now divorced. Once she was abroad, he could arrange for her to meet the Sanders.Once she returned to the Sanders as their daughter, he could slowly win her heart and marry her.Ivan was so excited thinking about his plan that he couldn't sleep. He had been planning for this for so many years. Now, his life was finally heading in the direction he desired.Isaac, who insisted on staying with his canary, had been stripped of power by their father.Now, Ivan was the Burkes' most favored heir. Once he married Yasmin and gained the support of the Sanders, the entire Burkes business would be his.As he was lost in his thoughts, Wendy said, "Mr. Burke, Blake has been investigating people in Merania since Elise's death."Ivan opene
Yasmin was initially scared, thinking it was someone else. Once she got closer, she saw the side of Blake's face through the glass window and realized it was him. Why was he here?He even brought Roderick's medical team along; was he here to diagnose her father?After a while, Roderick said the same thing, "Mr. Starr's fingers can move, which proves he can hear sounds. Perhaps he will wake up soon."Blake nodded. Sensing someone watching from outside, he turned and met Yasmin's gaze.After a few days of not seeing her, she looked thinner and frail.She lost a lot of weight.Blake's gaze deepened, and he nodded at her.Yasmin stiffened. She had come today to pick her father up, but she felt uneasy, afraid he might notice something.Blake came out with Roderick and the others as she was caught off guard."I'll take my leave," Roderick said."Alright, thank you." Blake nodded. The group discussed as they walked past her.Yasmin quietly breathed a sigh of relief as she watched
"I believe so. Otherwise, why would Mr. Burke send an ambulance to follow Mrs. Ford here? If it wasn't to take Mr. Starr away, what would they need the ambulance for? It can't possibly be for a hospital transfer, right?" Malcolm had worked for Blake for many years and developed excellent observational skills.Blake's eyes darkened after hearing this, his gaze becoming as thick as ink. After a moment, he laughed coldly. He said sarcastically, "She hid it from me that she's planning to leave the country with Ivan."A few days ago, she told him to look for her once he completed his matters. He thought she wanted to wait for him, so he had not looked for Yasmin in the past few days and kept himself busy with the business.He never expected that she would elope with Ivan after a few days of not seeing her.The look on Blake's face suddenly turned cold and stern. His tone was chilling. "Get some of our men over here."…Meanwhile, Yasmin was standing in the ICU, waiting for the doctor
"Mrs. Ford, Mr. Ford's back.""Really?" Yasmin Starr was busy with her drafts. When she heard that her husband was back, her eyes lit up. She drew the curtains before her to see a Rolls-Royce Cullinan driving along the path leading to the villa.She saw a man in the car. His handsome face was visible from where she stood; his actions and carriage exuded a regal air.It really was him!Yasmin's heart started racing. Her face burned at the thought of the things they did whenever he came home. Every kiss they shared was searing and passionate. It made her shy yet nervous.Just then, the door to her room swung open. Blake Ford walked in.Yasmin smiled at him. "Mr. B!""Come here." He loosened his tie.She walked over to him shyly. In the next second, he pulled her into his arms and gave her a hard kiss. She moaned before sinking into the kiss. Then, he carried her to the bed and had his way with her.Blake looked like the celibate and gentle type, but he was no gentleman when it came to se
Yasmin felt a little bitter. She grabbed some dark clothes from the wardrobe and returned to the room. There, she heard Blake talking to someone on the phone."Don't be scared. Have Alicia keep an eye on you. I'll be right there." His voice was a brand of tenderness that Yasmin had never heard before.She stopped short. Suddenly, the sweetness she'd felt earlier dissipated. She asked tentatively, "Who was that, Mr. B?"He glanced at her, his tall stature domineering. He said coldly, "No one.""Was it a woman?""It's none of your business." He grabbed the clothes from her and put them on. Usually, he would have her put them on for him.Would every man start to be repelled by their wives once they fell in love with someone else?Yasmin's stomach started convulsing. It looked like she had a stomach problem. She felt horrible.Blake got dressed and turned to leave. Yasmin was on high alert—a woman's sixth sense was powerful. She ran to the door and said, "I'm feeling a little sick, Mr. B.
Yasmin suddenly recalled something a friend of Blake's had once said. He'd told her, "There's a woman who lives in Blake's heart. They met in Merania, and he's pined after her for years. You and her look pretty similar, actually."At the time, Yasmin had been indignant. She felt that the woman was no match for her since she was already a thing of the past.Now, her dream had been shattered. As she watched how tender Blake was toward the woman, she felt like a sharp blade had been driven right into her heart. It hurt so much that all her organs felt like they were cramping.Blake shielded the woman from the crowd as they turned to leave. Suddenly, he caught sight of Yasmin standing not too far away. Mary was with her. He frowned.The woman asked gently, "Do you know her, Blake?""Yeah. She's my wife, Yasmin Starr," he said plainly. "Why don't you head to the car first, Giselle? I'll be right behind you.""Okay." Giselle O'Shea nodded obediently. Before she left, she turned to look at Ya
"Yaz, did you know about your precious Mr. B cheating on you?" The phone call was from Yasmin's best friend, Eunice Salle. "I saw it all over the news first thing in the morning! He's gotten together with a pianist named Giselle O'Shea, and it looks like she's even pregnant."The paparazzi caught them at the hospital together. Hurry and go check it out!"Yasmin's heart constricted. She checked the news. There were tweets everywhere on Twitter talking about the photos of Blake accompanying Giselle to the hospital last night.Blake was the CEO of Windmere Group and had countless assets under his name. He was the most eligible bachelor in the city. This was why his private life had always been under intense scrutiny.Now that he'd gotten caught accompanying a woman to the hospital, it immediately became a trending topic. The netizens had even managed to dig out Giselle's personal information.She was a renowned pianist in Merania. She and Blake were childhood sweethearts. They had a
Blake frowned and approached Yasmin. Her eyes were shut. There was a sort of childlike quality to her face as she slept, but it didn't take away from her beauty. Her naturally pink and moist lips were puckered slightly. They were as tempting as water to a parched man in the desert.Blake's anger dissipated at this sight. He bent down to lift her into his arms. At the warmth, Yasmin subconsciously buried her head against his neck. She wanted more of it.Blake looked down at her. His gaze was too deep for others to tell what he was thinking. Then, he placed her on the bed. He was about to leave when he heard her mumble, "You're a jerk, Mr. B …"Blake paused. He rested a hand on her face and caressed it. She was deeply asleep but subconsciously sucked on his finger.His breathing hitched. "Yasmin?"Was she awake?She didn't respond. Instead, she turned on her side and held his hand to her cheek. She looked wholly dependent on him.Blake lowered his head and kissed her.Yasmin felt
