Chapter 1256

As soon as he entered, Shera ran after him and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind.

“I still like you very much. Let me be with you, please. I will be gentler than Millie, and will love you

more than she does.”

Marcus tried to pull her arms away, but she was wound so tightly around him like wires.

“Don’t push me away, please. I’m really tired. I’ve been waiting for you since you left Villa Imperiale. It

Shera pivoted gracefully and departed, her heart a canvas of conflicting emotions, torn like fragile

parchment caught in a tempest’s embrace.

Contemplations swirled within Shera’s mind, unraveling the enigma of Millie’s character-a phantom

thief who stealthily purloined the affection of her dearest beloved.

With a resonant thud, Marcus sealed the door behind him, ascending the staircase with a shadow cast

sinews were woven of lead.

Amid the first Light of dawn, within the sanctum of Thomas Group, Trenton ushered forth an offering of

coffee into the CEO’s chamber.

“Behold, Mr. Thomas, the elixir of morning sustenance.”

Tremors quivered through Marcus’ fingers as he collected the vessel of coffee, its bitterness mirrored in

his thoughts.

His right hand, a tableau of discomfort, rebelled against the command to elevate.
