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, virtual-novel.net had gone on an outing with virtual-novel.net classmates, and they were playing near the river. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net mind.
Cansington Hotel, top floor. Trent pinned virtual-novel.net down on the auction table and slashed virtual-novel.net face repeatedly with a knife.
Thea remembered the desperation, the helplessness, and how powerless virtual-novel.net felt.
Just when virtual-novel.net was about to give up, a man wearing a ghost mask appeared. It was a moment in virtual-novel.net life that virtual-novel.net would never forget. Those powerful hands picked virtual-novel.net up and saved virtual-novel.net from that hopeless situation.
Unfortunately, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net be?’
Thea muttered softly.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net ringtone went off. She lifted virtual-novel.net phone and found that it was James calling.
Thea shook virtual-novel.net head.
Thea, you have a husband. How can you be thinking about another man?
Putting away virtual-novel.net thoughts, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net pajamas. It was a very thin and slightly see-through set of white pajamas. Moreover, virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net was from the Capital and not a Cansington local. Therefore, virtual-novel.net was not a candidate for the Great Four. Otherwise, with Longevity Pharmaceuticals’ assets, virtual-novel.net would outrank the Great Four easily.
Yuna had invited many people to virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net birthday in a very lowkey manner. However, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net to make more friends in Cansington and build a solid foundation for virtual-novel.net business.
***
The Callahans’ house.
Thea’s bedroom.
Thea was dressed in a white V-neck dress that outlined virtual-novel.net perfect figure. Her curves were accentuated, and virtual-novel.net smooth back was completely exposed. She usually never wore such revealing clothes and virtual-novel.net 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.
