The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Herschel’s eyes caught the flash of panic that swept across Boyd’s face.

Yasmine said, “After all, it was my birthday present. Remember what you said when you gave it to me?”

Even though Herschel didn’t know exactly what had happened back then, Boyd’s expression had given him a pretty good guess.

Boyd’s face went pale, his fingers twitching slightly at his sides. “Yasmine…”

“Boyd, I actually believe you love me. Otherwise, why do you think I would hold onto the pain of our separation all these years without seeking revenge?”

It was clear to everyone. Yasmine had made her move. And Boyd, no doubt, was acutely aware.d2

Yasmine always knew Boyd was sharp, his gaze usually filled with wisdom and calm. She understood that he knew very well himself.

Just look at him now. Boyd showed no reaction. He knew, after all.

Anger began to coil within Herschel. If anyone dared claim to be the worst in the world, they’d be second to her. She had a way of tormenting someone without even being present, a talent unmatched.

“I love you.” Boyd’s head hung low as he stood opposite her, his eyes downcast and unreadable, but his voice, hoarse and subdued, betrayed his turmoil, grief, and helplessness.

Yasmine’s lips curled into a smile. “I know, and that’s why I think you remember every promise you made to me, including the one about the birthday gift.”

After speaking, she glanced at him, murmured “Wait for me,” and climbed the stairs.

Boyd remained motionless. The moment Yasmine turned, he thought of fleeing. He guessed what she was going to do upstairs. He didn’t want to face what was coming, but she had asked him to wait.

Herschel could feel the restraint and anxiety emanating from Boyd, knowing he was desperate to escape. Boyd’s emotions were on the verge of explosion; Herschel’s face turned stern as he reached for Boyd’s arm.

“Dad.”

He hesitated as his eyes fell on Boyd’s clenched fists, the veins on his forearms protruding, muscles taut and trembling.

Herschel’s heart sank. He signaled to the two men beside him, who immediately took action. One stood by Boyd’s side while the other opened a case he had been carrying.

The sound of the case unlocking made Boyd flinch. He turned to see the open case. The restraint in his eyes finally quivered. He slowly looked up at Herschel, his body still, his voice scraping harshly. “Get out.”

Herschel was taken aback by the extreme coldness in his demeanor. “Dad, what you need right now is to stay calm, or Ms. Yasmine will…”

He was interrupted by a faint noise from the staircase.

Boyd’s face, already roiling with emotion, suddenly composed itself, although his expression remained unnatural for a few seconds before he turned to look up the stairs. The hands that had been clenched now relaxed slightly.

When he saw Yasmine’s figure and the clear glass bottle in her hands, he couldn’t help but step back.
