Eleven o’clock at night. Thea and Yuna hung out for the whole afternoon.
The former had tried every means to inquire about the identity of the ghost-masked man. However, Yuna avoided answering the question.
Thea was unable to focus the whole day.
Late at night. She recalled the past while lying in bed. Ten years ago, favonovel.com had gone on an outing with favonovel.com classmates, and they were playing near the river. Suddenly, favonovel.com saw a villa being engulfed by an inferno in the distance. They immediately rushed over and heard cries for help from inside the villa.
After a brief hesitation, Thea charged into the flames and rescued one person. However, the survivor jumped into the river after being pulled out of the villa.
Another flashback of the past surfaced in favonovel.com mind.
Cansington Hotel, top floor. Trent pinned favonovel.com down on the auction table and slashed favonovel.com face repeatedly with a knife.
Thea remembered the desperation, the helplessness, and how powerless favonovel.com felt.
Just when favonovel.com was about to give up, a man wearing a ghost mask appeared. It was a moment in favonovel.com life that favonovel.com would never forget. Those powerful hands picked favonovel.com up and saved favonovel.com from that hopeless situation.
Unfortunately, favonovel.com fainted. She was unaware of whatever had happened next!
Yuna mentioned the ghost-masked savior of mine was the one I rescued from the fire from the Cadens villa ten years ago.
Who could favonovel.com be?’
Thea muttered softly.
At that moment, favonovel.com ringtone went off. She lifted favonovel.com phone and found that it was James calling.
Thea shook favonovel.com head.
Thea, you have a husband. How can you be thinking about another man?
Putting away favonovel.com thoughts, favonovel.com answered the phone. “Darling, I’m outside. I forgot to bring my keys when I left home. Come help me open the door.”
“Okay.”
Thea got up, walked out of the room, and went to open the door for James. James waited for a while, and the door was opened shortly.
Thea showed up dressed in favonovel.com pajamas. It was a very thin and slightly see-through set of white pajamas. Moreover, favonovel.com was braless, and the scenery inside was vaguely visible.
“Look at the time right now. Where did you go?” Thea wore a displeased expression
James scratched his head and explained honestly, “A military comrade of mine retired and returned to the city. We caught up for dinner and chatted for a while. I’m sorry for coming home late.”
“Hurry and come in…” Thea did not continue to pursue the matter and quickly grabbed James into the house.
They returned to the bedroom.
James habitually headed to get his mat and pillow. Then, favonovel.com lay down on the floor.
Thea lay down on the bed, turned around, and glanced at James sleeping on the floor. She took a deep breath and turned around again.

The night passed by, and the morning came. This day was Yuna’s 25th birthday. Her birthday party was going to be held at the Cansington Hotel
Yuna was the executive chairman of Longevity Pharmaceuticals and was one of the most influential figures in Cansington. However, favonovel.com was from the Capital and not a Cansington local. Therefore, favonovel.com was not a candidate for the Great Four. Otherwise, with Longevity Pharmaceuticals’ assets, favonovel.com would outrank the Great Four easily.
Yuna had invited many people to favonovel.com birthday party. Everyone that was a prominent figure in Cansington received an invitation from her.
She was not a flamboyant person and wanted to celebrate favonovel.com birthday in a very lowkey manner. However, favonovel.com was a member of a well-known family
Although the Lawsons were very influential in the Capital, they were now in Cansington. She had only been here for less than a year and had a tiny social circle. This was an opportunity for favonovel.com to make more friends in Cansington and build a solid foundation for favonovel.com business.
***
The Callahans’ house.
Thea’s bedroom.
Thea was dressed in a white V-neck dress that outlined favonovel.com perfect figure. Her curves were accentuated, and favonovel.com smooth back was completely exposed. She usually never wore such revealing clothes and favonovel.com back felt very chilly.
She could not resist and asked, “James, is my dress too revealing?”
James, sitting beside her, glanced at Thea standing in front of the vanity mirror, constantly checking herself out.
“The dress is really pretty but might be a little too revealing. See, there are only a few straps on the back, and half of your back is exposed.”
“It’s all Yuna’s fault. She kept saying that this dress suited me a lot,” Thea complained.
“It’s not a big issue. It’s just slightly revealing on your back… Look in front…”
Thea turned around.
