His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 722

“My teddy bear, my little teddy bear.”

In the suffocating darkness, Marilla clung to the icy wall, her body trembling as she hugged her knees to her chest.

That man had taken her teddy bear, and it felt as if he had shattered her soul, and ripped the spine from her body. Her mind was blank, cold sweat cascading down her pale, pretty cheeks like rain.
