Chapter 8
I shared this with Oliver, and he gently patted my head, telling me to relax and focus on becoming his wife.
He then gazed at me with worry, his eyes intense. “Amy, will your condition affect you in any way?”
Tears suddenly welled up and rolled down my cheeks before I could stop
them.
Oliver became flustered and started comforting me with gentle words.
I shook my head. “I’m okay. It’s just that it’s been a while since anyone genuinely cared about me.”
Most people only see me for the status I bring, but not Oliver. He loves me for me, not for what I am or what I can give.
I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him, our intimate breaths the only sound in the room.
Later, Henry told me that Eric had come back a few times, but they didn’t let him in. Meanwhile, Jessica had completely vanished.
What I did know was that Jessica’s uterus had been damaged due to her reckless lifestyle, and the child was just a taetic to keep Eric assured.
As the wedding day approached, my feelings of unease grew stronger.
And I was right. Three days before the wedding, I got kidnapped–again.
This time, when I regained consciousness, I found myself not in the dim warehouse from before, but in a well–lit bedroom.

My wrists and ankles were securely fastened to the bed.
“Amy, you’ve come back, too?” Adam’s cloying voice whispered in my ear, and I shivered like a snake had just brushed my skin.
I was all too familiar with that voice from my past life.

I tried to stay calm and act confused. “What do you mean? I don’t get it!”
Adam chuckled and lightly caressed my cheek.
“Quit pretending, Amy! Whenever you lie, your eyes dart to the right!”
He added with a teasing tone, “Especially when I question you in bed, your eyes make things even more intriguing for me!”
The dark memories overwhelmed me once more.
I clenched my fists so tight my nails dug into my palms–but that pain was nothing compared to the mental torment.
I shouted at him, “Adam, leave right now! In my previous life, my biggest regret was marrying you!”
Adam’s expression turned grim, a tempest forming in his gaze.
“So in this life, you decided to marry that illegitimate son, Oliver?”
“Yes, he’s infinitely way better than a monster like you!”
He gripped my chin tightly, his face shadowed with a gloomy expression, but then he laughed.
“Do you really think you still have a chance to marry him?
“This island is a private sanctuary I’ve built just for us. It will only be you and me.

“Once you have the baby, I’ll bring you back to the Basom family. By that time, the Basom family will belong to me, and so will you!”
Fury welled up inside
me, my eyes burning with anger.
“Over my dead body! I’d rather die than be with you!”
Adam’s face showed no emotion, but his voice turned low and creepy.
“How could I possibly let you die, dear Amy?
“Don’t worry, Jessica is no longer in our way. I found out you were the one who saved me and Eric all those years ago!”
He positioned his phone in front of my eyes, revealing a video of Jessica being tortured. She was no longer the fragile woman she once was. Instead, she looked disheveled, her face smeared with blood, and more blood was still pouring from her lower body.
Adam’s cruel voice echoed in my ear.
“Amy, behave yourself. I hope you don’t end up like Jessica!”
I gritted my teeth, yet my body shook uncontrollably.
No one understands Adam’s twisted nature better than I do.
I prayed silently in my heart. “Oliver, please come save me!”
