Dustin was on his laptop, inputting statistics for a company he was running with a client. Suddenly he got a phone call from Eri. Dasin immediately picked up the phone call while continuing his work staring at the laptop monitor screen. "Yes, what's wrong, ma'am?" "Dustin, help us!" Eri's voice sounded panicked and hoarse. Suddenly, Dustin was shocked. Dustin immediately put down his laptop and stood up, worried and curious about what happened to Eri. "Why, what happened, ma'am?" "Help us. We're hurt badly, Dustin. Karina... Karina too ...." Eri's disjointed words were interspersed with sobs. It made Dustin even more panicked and worried about what was happening to them. "What's wrong with Karina, Mom?" Dustin panicked. He rubbed his face roughly, waiting impatiently for an answer from Eri. "Karina... she disappeared!" Eri cried hysterically. "We don't know where she went. You were shopping and suddenly someone attacked us. My husband and I were badly injured, while Karina disapp
Karina cried hysterically in fear as Julian's blood continued pouring out of the back of the man's head. Dustin immediately ran to Karina and hugged his wife's body tightly. "Calm down. I'm with you now." Dustin tied the ropes on his hands and feet because. The strings were hard enough to make Karina's hands and feet red. Karina winced in pain. When the ropes were untied, Karina rushed into Dustin's arms. She cried in Dustin's arms because she was actually scared. "I'm scared, Dustin. I tried to be brave in front of him; I shook so much that it felt like my heart stopped. I'm really very scared." Dustin stroked Karina's hair with affection. "Yes, I know that. I'm sorry, Karina. I couldn't take good care of you." Dustin released his embrace from Karina. He held Karina's face and checked the wound from Julian's slap on Karina's face. "Does your cheek still hurt?" Karina only answered with a shake of her head, even though her cheek was still hot and sore. Dustin helped Karina to get
Karina blinked her eyes a few times before finally opening them fully. She saw Dustin, still sleeping beside her while hugging her warmly, still in the position from last night. She rubbed Dustin's face and watched every inch without missing a single inch of Dustin's face. Karina liked that. She smiled happily.When Karina's hand touched Dustin's lips, Dustin's eyes opened. "Good morning, my wife."Karina was a little surprised. She immediately withdrew her hand from Dustin's lips. "Did I wake you up?"Dustin smiled as he shook his head. "Not at all." He quickly kissed Karina's forehead, then got off the bed.Karina also sat on the bed with a furrowed brow, watching Dustin, who went straight into the bathroom. A few minutes later, Dustin came out of the bathroom with a bright and fresh face after washing his face. Karina felt confused when Dustin changed into neat clothes. "Where are you going? Are you going to work this early?""I'm going out of town on business." Dustin put on his s
Everyone got busy because of Karina, who suddenly fainted. The park attendant was panicking, calling for people to come help Karina. "Quickly help Miss Karina!" The few guards immediately swiftly carried Karina's body into the house and laid her on the sofa. Hearing the commotion, Eri and Jake, watching television in the living room, immediately approached with panicked faces. Eri bit the tip of her index finger. "Karina, what exactly happened to you?" She was worried because she feared yesterday's incident had made Karina sick. Jake gently shook both of Karina's shoulders. "What's wrong with you, kiddo? Snap out of it!" He looked at the servants who had accompanied Karina in the garden. "What happened to her? Why is she unconscious like this?" All the servants shook their heads. The park guard who had been with Karina bowed his head. "I don't know, Miss Karina just suddenly fainted. We immediately brought her here." "Oh my, Karina." Eri squatted right beside Karina's body. She w
Karina enjoyed her time relaxing in the backyard. The servants brought her breakfast and snacks like salads and fruits. They didn't let her get tired enough to take a drink to the kitchen. The news of Karina's pregnancy was the talk of the town at the Kenderick family home. The servants talked about it and were happy about the pregnancy. At the same time, Yosan's brother came to the Kenderick family's main house. Alphonso, Yosan's younger brother, is none other than Thomas' father. I visited the main house and overheard the servants discussing Karina's pregnancy. "Oh, so now Yosan's daughter-in-law is pregnant. That means they have a successor who will continue Dustin as heir." Alphonso felt a little displeased by the news. "Be careful bringing it up. Miss Karina is craving this, don't spill it and disappoint her." A butler told another servant carrying a tray of food for Karina. The maid nodded her head and hurried to the backyard where Karina was. Alphonso followed the waiter u
The Hantbouch family had no other choice. They couldn't just let the Hantbouch family disintegrate. George Hantbouch, Zeya's father. He didn't want to take a big risk. He embraced his wife and stepped back, letting the men take Zeya."Just take her. A guilty person deserves punishment." George firmly said that.Suddenly, Zeya was surprised to hear that. "Dad, why did you say that?"George was silent. He didn't want Zeya to be punished, but they couldn't do anything about it. The heir to the Hantbouch family, who was only 15 years old, was in trouble. He didn't want his family to be further destroyed.Zeya shouted loudly when the two people pulled her hand even more to leave. "Father, Mother, Kaylee. Help me!"Zeya's family remained silent and walked away. They did nothing to prevent the men from taking Zeya. Zeya looked at the people, trying to get away. Her gaze was also drawn to some of her neighbours who passed by."Help! Somebody help me!" Zeya continued to shout. However, no one
Karina was happy with the attention Dustin gave her. After eating the ice cream, Karina walked leisurely in the backyard while occasionally remembering the movements when holding the dagger. Dustin watched her from near the backyard door.One of the servers came over to Dustin. "Excuse me, Mr. Dustin. Mr. Albert and some of his men are here. They are standing guard in front of the Villa."Dustin nodded his head. "Yes, just tell him. I'll see him later.""Yes, sir. Excuse me." The waiter politely excused himself from Dustin's presence.Dustin had time to inform Albert that he was at the Villa. Without orders, Albert immediately came after Karina and Dustin because Albert's job now was to protect Karina. Albert brought several bodyguards to stand guard at the front.Karina picked a few flowers and then approached Dustin. "I like this flower. It's very pretty."Dustin gently stroked Karina's hair. "Yes, beautiful like you." He hugged Karina, then led her inside the Villa as the sun got h
"I'm scared, Dustin." Karina hugged Dustin's body tightly. She was absolutely terrified by everything that was happening right in front of her eyes.Dustin calmed Karina, who was still crying hysterically. "Calm down. Come on, let's get out of here."Dustin wrapped his arms around Karina's body, carrying her out of the villa. The villa was in ruins. Blood was everywhere. The people of the attackers who had been taken down were lying around, revealing a horrifying sight to Karina."Don't worry. I'm with you." Dustin partially covered Karina's face to prevent her from seeing the corpses. He felt guilty that Karina had to see this.Dustin led Karina into the car. Meanwhile, Dustin looked back when he saw Albert approaching. "Take care of all the bodies here too. Karina and I will go home."Albert bowed his head respectfully. "Yes, sir. We will take care of all this."Dustin nodded and got into the car. He drove away from the villa area. Dustin occasionally looked at Karina, who was still
