He frowned and grabbed her jaw. "Why? Should I let a kidnapper escape?""Kidnapper?" Maia gasped. "What on earth are you talking about?"He tossed the box onto her, and its lid opened, revealing the voodoo doll. "W-What is it?""Drop the act, will you?" When she met his sinister gaze, her heart pounded. She looked down at the doll and saw Rita’s name on it. Realization struck her."You think I kidnapped Rita? Cedric, I was with you last night, remember? I only found out about what happened when Zera called you."He began to squeeze her jaw as he looked grimmer. "You wanted to spend the evening with me to have an alibi, right? And I'm the best witness there is!" For love, she had forsaken her pride. She braved the snow the day before she left Prismara to spend their wedding anniversary with him. Despite this, he believed it was all part of a scheme. For him, she could give up everything. Even now, when she was humiliated, she still loved him. Maia shook her head. "She ki

"Yes."His cold answer broke her heart. ‘He keeps crushing your hopes, Maia. But you just had to ask, hoping for a better response. What for? You always get hurt,' she reminded herself. “I should’ve known you’d think the worst of me. Of course you’d think I was responsible for the kidnapping. You’ve never trusted me, so I shouldn't have expected otherwise." He shot her a fierce glare. "Listen. You can’t leave until you’ve proven you’re innocent.”"Do you have evidence that I'm behind the kidnapping, Cedric? Why should I listen to you?"He tossed a document onto her lap. "I'm the largest shareholder of Burgess Winery."Maia was shocked to see the title "Winery Reconstruction Plan.""You want to turn the winery into a resort?” She said anxiously, “It's the largest one owned by Burgess Winery. Do you have any idea what you're doing? You might not be able to gain anything from it!"It was a foolish plan that would hurt everyone. How could a shrewd businessman like Cedric have m
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 24 Are You Going to Imprison Me?
The privacy divider blocked the view from the front seat.Maia began to panic, but it was too late. She tried to scream, but his kiss muffled any sound she made. She could only lay defenselessly, her long hair disheveled. A while later, the car came to a stop, and the chauffeur left them alone. Cedric removed his jacket, wrapped it around her, and carried her out of the vehicle.‘Where are we?’Maia gazed at the stacked townhouses before her. It was an upscale development by HL Corporation that had not launched. Then it hit her."You're going to imprison me?"Cedric said coldly, "I can't let a suspect escape, can I?"He carried her into a room and threw her onto a bed with velvet sheets. "You can't do this to me, Cedric!” Maia tried to leave, but he pinned her to the bed and glared at her.He warned, "Don't forget about the winery and your brother."Cedric rose and made his way toward the door. As he was about to leave, he paused."Was the story you told me true?”Maia cl

Susie frowned. "Ms. Maia, Mr. Cedric forbade me from giving you any devices.""Well, he didn't say I couldn't make a call, right? It's just one call, please, Susie," Maia pleaded. Susie glanced around and said, "Ms. Maia, it’s not that I don't want to help you, but this place is under surveillance. Mr. Cedric can watch your every move."Taken aback, Maia looked around her and saw surveillance cameras everywhere. She chuckled bitterly and murmured, "I guess the place is bugged, too, huh?"Susie sighed but didn't deny it. "Eat while the dinner's still warm, okay?"Maia was left alone in the dining hall but had lost her appetite. She squeezed the utensils in her hands tightly.She had no choice but to hope that Rita would be found soon. Still, something about all of this made her uneasy. There was more than meets the eye about Rita's kidnapping. She could only hope to leave the townhouse soon.Letting out a bitter chuckle, she finished her meal and headed upstairs. Maia curled
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 26 I Hate You, Cedric!
Cedric marched toward the door without answering. Soon, his luxury car sped out from the manor.Susie was the only person Maia had seen in several days. After dinner, when Susie cleared the table, the glass container fell to the floor and shattered with a crash. Looking flustered, Susie quickly said, "Oh my, I'm so clumsy! I'll clean it up right away, Ms. Maia."Maia saw the glass shards on the floor and said, "Be careful, okay?"Susie hastily answered, "I will. Thank you, Ms. Maia."Maia yawned multiple times while nodding. Feeling tired for no apparent reason, she looked at the clock and saw that it was only around seven. ‘Is it because I didn't sleep well last night?’ She went upstairs to her bed and soon drifted off to sleep. After some time, a flurry of footsteps was heard, and she was yanked off the bed. "Maia, why did you lie to me?" With a fierce expression, Cedric threw Zera’s phone onto the bed. Still groggy, Maia heard a recording from the phone. "It's Maia
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 27 On Fire
She finally said those words after loving him for so many years.He stopped without looking at her, and said, “So be it.”Her vision blurred as she fought back her tears. When he left, Maia finally broke down in sobs. She wanted to end their marriage on a good note, but she had been wrong. Since it was dark outside, she could only see her reflection in the panoramic window. She smiled bitterly. Her unwavering love for Cedric had just died and could never be revived.A while later, a thick plume of smoke crept in from outside the door. This alarmed her. Struggling to get up, she stumbled toward the door. When she exited her bedroom, she was shocked to find a fire raging downstairs. She stood frozen, unsure of what to do.‘The place is on fire! But how?’She started screaming, "Help!"With a hand covering her mouth and nose, she wanted to rush downstairs. However, the fire was fierce. Her legs went limp, and she fell on the second-floor corridor. ‘What can I do now? I have t
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 28 You Don’t Want Me to Die, Right?
It was the first time she saw him like this. "Cedric…" she called out his name, tears welling up. He was always like this, giving her hope when she was about to give up. This time, however, she would not fall for it. Seeing her in such distress, Cedric cursed and quickly pulled her into his chest. He covered her mouth and nose with a damp towel."Are you alright?"Clutching his jacket, she shook her head and wept despite herself. He looked conflicted when he saw how helpless she was. Cedric asked in a calm voice, "Are you hurt?" She shook her head. "Can you walk?" They had to leave before the fire reached the west end. Even though her legs were weak, Maia managed to get to her feet with his help."I can," she said softly. Perhaps she had become much braver and calmer due to his presence. "Follow me." Grabbing her hand, he covered his nose and mouth and led her toward the stairs on the west side.The fire destroyed the townhouse's east side and quickly spread to the

'This time, I'm going to make you regret it for the rest of your life!' she thought. "Stay close!" Cedric said as he rushed out with her.The window was their only chance. If they could make it through the living room, they would be able to escape to safety.Holding his hand, she kept pace with him and hurried into the living room. The fire was raging, but she felt no fear at this moment.The heat caused the chandelier to shatter and fall as they crossed the living room, making several loud sounds.At that very moment, Maia let go of his hand and shoved him away with all her strength. The chandelier crashed between them, sending flames everywhere and trapping her completely.In an instant, the fire surged. Shoved out of the window, Cedric turned and saw what was happening. "Maia!" He screamed like a madman. Cedric tried to charge back inside, but Baz and others held him back. "Don't do it, sir!""You can't save her! It's too late."The flames soared higher, forcing Maia
