John was on the verge of indecision. He realized his body was shivering, and he might not be able to withstand staying in the frigid ocean, colder than his body temperature, with the constant wind blowing on the beach.Joana's face conveyed earnestness in helping him. But he felt that if he were to heed Joana, it would mean he was surrendering, betraying the agreement he had made with himself.With a pleading expression, Joana said, "John, I beg you! Come with me! For me, your safety is far more important!"Joana's sincere plea touched John's heart. In his mind, he said, "Oh, Joana! Why are you being like this to me? You make me feel like I can't let you go!"Without John's consent, the blonde woman pulled his body. However, because John didn't react, it was clear that Joana's pull meant nothing to him. With a hint of annoyance, Joana shouted, "I will jump into the water if you remain stubborn!"John seemed enchanted, he was stunned by Joana's earnestness. He admired the golden-haired
Fiona muttered softly, "Damn it! Why do journalists create news like this?" Her chest felt hot, and she wanted to run and tackle a journalist, then smash the camera that was the source of her frustration.In her heart, she said, "That cheap woman must be very happy with this news!" Then she sighed in annoyance.The door to the room opened, and a handsome blond man approached Fiona, who was sitting on the balcony. The masculine scent from his body made Fiona turn her head and admire the handsome that was so vivid before her.The man's voice sounded so melodious to Fiona's ears, "My love, let's have breakfast! After this, we will continue our adventure!" He seemed enthusiastic. The sunlight illuminating his face made him look like an angel who had descended to provide a delightful and special breakfast.However, Fiona's expression soon changed. She was still angry about the screenshot of Stephen and Keyla Fox filling national gossip websites.The blond man noticed Fiona's change in expr
When the frost formed in front of Joana's room door, a red-haired man in a black jumper suddenly appeared behind Joana. The man had a cynical expression as he said, "You must be looking for me. Yes, I slept here last night."Neither Stephen nor Joana said anything; they waited for an explanation from John.John opened the door wider and stepped out of Joana's room, facing Stephen directly. With his hands in the tight pockets of his training pants, John said, "Last night, I had hypothermia. She saved me by taking me to her room. I’m sorry for failing to fulfill my bet." John spoke truthfully and admitted that he still owed Stephen for the bet.Then he turned towards the blonde woman who looked like a golden-haired mermaid savior to him. "Also, please don't misunderstand! Joana didn't do anything to me except help me. What she did has nothing to do with her job as a saleswoman at Cartmar Beach's jet ski dealer."Stephen's gaze focused on Joana, who tried to remain calm, but her cheeks w
When Stephen and Fiona arrived at the Jet Ski hangout spot, a security guard greeted Stephen. He warmly responded to the greeting and asked for his assistance in opening the Jet Ski hangout garage and retrieving his two Jet Skis.The security guard agreed to Stephen's request, saying, "Please wait a moment!" He then walked towards the garage.After the security guard left, Fiona embraced Stephen's arm. With her eyebrows raised, she asked, "Stephen, you're not going to make me ride that black magenta Jet Ski alone, are you?"The blond man smiled, realizing the concern on his wife's face, and calmly replied, "No. I will ride with you for a while. After that, I will teach you how to ride your own Jet Ski." Fiona breathed a sigh of relief.A few moments later, a black and gold Jet Ski was positioned at the shore. Stephen and Fiona were also ready with their safety gear. Stephen hopped onto his Jet Ski and started warming up the engine.Stephen signaled Fiona to sit behind him with a hand
"Hi, Stephen!" Keyla's melodious voice sounded from Stephen's smartphone. He pressed the speaker button so that Fiona could also hear the model's voice clearly.At that moment, Fiona got up from the bed and hugged Stephen from behind, her soft cheek resting against Stephen's facial hair-covered cheek. Stephen glanced at Fiona with a smile. His left hand held the smartphone, while his right hand caressed Fiona's hand on her hand.Stephen greeted Keyla, "Hey! How are you? I heard from Raymond that you got drunk last night."The beautiful model was taken aback by Stephen's question, but she quickly composed herself and replied, "Yes, it's not as bad as you might think. I'm fine." Although deep inside, she felt angry and jealous. She didn't know why she could be so crazy in love with a married man. After all, there were many handsome, wealthy, and single men out there who were eager to date her.But in the end, she had to face reality and couldn't blame anyone because she meant nothing to
After the intimate conversation with Fiona ended, Stephen picked up his phone again, preparing to make a short clarification video about his relationship with Keyla Fox. Fiona sat next to Stephen as he touched the smartphone screen. With enthusiasm, Fiona asked, "Where are you going to make the video?" The blonde man shrugged and replied, "I think either in this room or on the balcony. Which one do you think is better?" Fiona thought for a moment and then said, "This yacht ship is too luxurious, Stephen. If you make a clarification video showing the surroundings of the yacht ship, it will raise many questions. I think it's better if you make the video on the balcony with the sea in the background." Fiona's suggestion made sense. Stephen still didn't want to reveal his identity, so the easiest way to make the clarification video without leaving the cruise ship was to film it on the balcony with the sea in the background. Stephen and Fiona moved from the bed to the balcony. After S
"Joana? Why did she do that? Does this damn man just want to play with me?" John wondered. John stared sharply at Stephen, wanting a further explanation. "Don't joke around! I don't want to make small talk with you!" Stephen did the same thing. He was clearly busier than John. "Do I look like someone interested in prolonging a conversation with you, huh?" He smirked sarcastically. The evening breeze blew stronger, causing shivers and a desire for warmth. Therefore, Stephen told Fiona to go inside the yacht first. The brunette woman complied immediately. Before going to the yacht, she said, "Don't take too long! I'll be waiting for you!" Stephen smiled warmly, seeing Fiona off. As it was only Stephen and John on the dock, John's mind was still wondering. If Stephen had forgiven him, then that meant he had nothing to do with him anymore. Also, Joana, it seemed like John had to meet her after this. She was his golden-haired mermaid who had saved him. Before Stephen completely left th
After returning to Rosewind city, Stephen and Fiona's life went back to normal. Their relationship became even more harmonious. When it was time for Fiona to go to court to face Tristan, she confronted him with confidence.In the courtroom, Fiona met the bald man who had almost assaulted her before. The expression on the coal businessman's face clearly showed his annoyance. But Fiona's self-assurance made her not worried or anxious in the least.With so much evidence and witnesses that Fiona possessed, there was no room for Tristan Reyes to escape the charges of kidnapping and attempted rape that he committed.In the end, the judge delivered his verdict in front of everyone present in the courtroom, "Tristan Reyes, for the act of kidnapping and attempting to rape Fiona, the Rosewind city court sentences you to 30 years in prison! You will be isolated from society for three decades as a consequence of your vile actions!" Then the judge struck the gavel.Although there were not many spe
