Chapter 50
Kathy was still thrashing against the grip of the six-foot-four bodyguard, her clawing at his iron wrist with her polished nails. Behind her, Jordan Langford stood rooted to the ground. For a brief second, the sight of the towering, stone-faced bodyguard had sent an icy shudder down his spine. The cold-blooded, military aura radiating off this bodyguard was something an ordinary civilian couldn't fake.No! Jordan screamed internally, his panic-stricken mind fighting furiously to regain its lost footing. I am Jordan Langford! I am the sole heir of Langford Pharmaceuticals! My family has dined with mayors and imported foreign medicine! How can I let some back-alley bouncer humiliate my woman in front of half the province?!He knew his company was bleeding millions, he knew his father was drowning in bank calls, but right now, standing in broad daylight before his rival Elijah, Jordan refused to look weak! He puffed his chest out, borrowed every ounce of arrogant ego he had left fr

"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, BITCH?!"The loud voice echoed, turning every single head in the outdoor plaza!Kathy’s mouth snapped shut, her arrogant expression freezing as footsteps clicked aggressively across the cobblestone pathway. Mia was marching straight towards them with the rage of a war general!Her cheeks were flushed pink with raw fury, and her dark eyes were blazing like hot coals! She had just returned from escorting Clara to the chauffeur at the lower parking bay, expecting to find Elijah sitting peacefully with an iced drink. Instead, as she rounded the courtyard hedge, she had heard every single disgusting, venomous word spewing out of Kathy’s painted mouth!Mia didn't walk, she stormed forward like an enraged lioness whose pride had just been insulted!"Who gave you the right to open your filthy mouth around here?!" Mia raged, stepping directly between Kathy and Elijah, shielding him with her smaller frame while glaring daggers at the woman in the red silk dress.

Hearing his calm, utterly unaffected response, Kathy felt a sudden, sharp prick of annoyance flare in her chest! In her mind, Elijah was supposed to look at her with wounded, tear-filled eyes! He was supposed to plead with her, beg for her forgiveness, or glare at Jordan with burning, helpless jealousy! That was how their dynamic had always worked—she was the untouchable goddess, and he was the obedient dog who washed her feet and swallowed every bitter insult with his head bowed low! To see him stand there looking at her as if she were nothing more than a discarded piece of chewing gum on the street infuriated her shallow pride! Kathy threw her head back and let out a sharp, mocking cackle that made several outdoor patrons turn their heads in disgust. "Oh, please! Don't make me laugh, Elijah!" Kathy sneered loudly, waving her hand through the air as if batting away an annoying fly. "Fine! You're right about one thing: your life or death doesn't mean a single damn thing to me!
Chapter 47
Elijah slowly turned his head. Behind his dark, calm eyes, there was not a trace of surprise, anger, or hatred. There was only a profound, bottomless indifference—the way an ancient mountain might look at a stray speck of dust blowing past its cliffs. He didn't say a word.Seeing his silence, Kathy’s smugness reached absolute delusion. She tossed her hair back and shook her head in dramatic, mocking pity."How utterly obsessed are you with me, Elijah?" Kathy declared loudly, making sure the people sitting at the surrounding cafe tables could hear every single arrogant word. "Wherever I go, you somehow manage to arrive there before me! Did you track my ferry ticket? Did you stalk me all the way to this private island just to catch a glimpse of my shadow? What on earth am I supposed to do with a pathetic loser like you?!"She took a step closer, pointing a mocking, painted fingernail straight at his chest."I get it now," Kathy chuckled with sickening vanity. "You're so desperate f
Chapter 46
The public transport ferry bumped gently against the concrete pilings of the island’s secondary commercial harbor, churning white, frothy foam into the clear turquoise water. Unlike the sleek private slipways reserved for Master Caleb’s inner circle, this pier was open to tourists, mainland merchants, and day visitors arriving to browse the island’s famed luxury outlets.Stepping off the metal gangway onto the sun-drenched dock were Kathy Hawkins and Jordan Langford.The contrast between their current appearance and their usual pompous swagger was almost laughable. Just yesterday, Jordan had boasted like a triumphant king over Wagyu beef and vintage champagne. Today, his bespoke royal-blue suit was crumpled, his designer collar open and frayed at the edges, and heavy purple shadows hung beneath his bloodshot eyes like bruised plums. He had spent the entire night dodging frantic calls from the trade regulatory commission and corporate shareholders while watching Langford Pharmaceuti
Chapter 45
"Wait a minute," Elijah said, looking down at his chest and legs as the two girls practically hauled him up onto his feet from the mattress. "Look at what I'm wearing. I'm in my home clothes! A black pajama and a plain white t-shirt only! I don't even have my sneakers on, just bathroom slides! Let me at least change into something proper!"Clara glanced down at his simple, casual attire and lowered her gaze shyly, letting out a soft, bashful laugh behind her fingers."You look very dignified and comfortable, Mr. Wilson," Clara murmured timidly, her cheeks warming with genuine reverence. "Besides... does it really matter what you wear, sir?"Mia waved her hand dismissively through the air, linking her arm through Elijah’s elbow while Clara respectfully walked close beside his other side."Clara took the words right out of my mouth!" Mia laughed cheekily as they steered him out through the bedroom door and down the grand hallway. "In any case, this whole private island belongs to y
