    Sharon’s face was dark and terrifying.

    “That old hag really is still thinking about Natalie, that adopted brat. What now? She feels like she can’t count on me anymore, so she wants to rely on Natalie instead? Ha. What a joke. How na?ve.”


    She told the butler to do exactly as Mrs. Summers had instructed. Sharon also wanted to know whether Natalie was truly alive or dead.


    Natalie, of course, had no idea that a single post on Twitter had thrown Ocean City into chaos.


    Even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.


    She only hoped that Jensen and Sharon were ready for her return – ready for her revenge.


    After posting the tweet, Natalie tossed theputer aside.


    —


    Today was the day she and Baron got their marriage certificate. No matter what, it was something worth remembering.


    “Let’s all go out for a family dinner.”


    Natalie’s words made Baron pause in surprise.


    “You want to <i>go </i>out to eat with me?”


    He wasn’t quite sure if he’d heard right.


    Natalie nodded. “Why not? Or is there some reason you don’t want to?”


    “No! None at all. I’ll get it arranged right now.”


    Baron spoke quickly, the corners of his lips lifting in a way that made Natalie’s chest ache with bittersweet emotion.


    So high and untouchable a man, a feared underworld boss, and yet in front of her he was so uncertain, socking in confidence.


    Being loved wholly and unreservedly like this it was warm, it was happiness itself.


    Natalie decided she would change the passwords to all her ounts soon.

    Her money


    –


    why shouldn’t she be the one to use it?


    Besides, she needed to buy Baron a wedding gift.


    And her children too.

    They were already four years old, and as their mother she hadn’t bought them anything yet.


    Natalie picked up her phone and called the bank.


    Not long after, her ount information was changed.


    News of it reached Jensen almost immediately.


    This time, he jolted upright from his hospital bed.


    “It’s her! It really is her!”


    His eyes lit up with a feverish joy.


    He snatched up his phone and started dialing Natalie’s number. But no matter how many times he tried, all he heard was the same message: the number you have dialed is no longer in


    service.


    <i>Disconnected</i><i>? </i>


    How <i>could </i><i>that </i><i>be</i><i>? </i>


    He had been the one who got that number for her.


    That night when Natalie had been beaten nearly to death in the Summers family’s backyard and he had found her, he’d set up a new phone number for her using the exact date and time they had met.


    Natalie had said that was their fated moment, and she would use that number for the rest of her life<i>. </i>


    She had told him he was her sunshine, her salvation, her harbor forever.


    So why was the number now gone?


    Jensen’s eyes flushed red, and his chest throbbed with pain.


    What had he done?

    How could he have driven away the woman who had once loved him with her whole heart — to the point where she even abandoned the memories they had shared?


    <i>No. </i>


    He refused to ept it. He would get her back.


    They had spent five years together. That had to count for something.


    His gaze brimmed with regret and sorrow.


    Meanwhile, Natalie had withdrawn her money and opened a brand–new ount.


    Baron had already made arrangements. When he saw that Natalie hadn’t changed into new clothes yet, he asked, “Shauna didn’t bring over the outfit?”


    “She did, but I was busy changing my bank password.”


    Natalie didn’t bother hiding it.


    Baron froze for a moment.


    “So you’ve decided to let him know you’re alive?”


    “It’s time for me toe back.”


    Natalie smiled and slid her arm through his.


    “Baron, we registered our marriage today. Shouldn’t we celebrate?”


    “Weren’t we going out to dinner?”


    Inside, Baron felt fireworks bursting in his chest, one after another, dazzling and overwhelming.


    Natalie leaned in and brushed a kiss against his cheek. That light, fleeting touch made his whole body lock up,


    “You…”


    “What? Can’t I kiss you? Husband?”


    When Natalie said that word, Baron felt the blood in his veins boil.


    He cupped her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes, his voice hoarse and low. “Do you even

    “Of course. Mr. Gunn, I’ll be in your care from now on. But if you ever be like Jensen, if you ever betray me, I’ll walk away without a second thought.”


    “You’ll never live to see that day.”


    He grabbed the back of her head and crushed his lips down onto hers, a hot, demanding kiss that stole her breath.


    Natalie liked his wildness.


    Maybe it was because her five years with Jensen had been like being boiled slowly in warm water, but now she needed this ferocity from Baron proof that she was alive, proof that her heart could still pound.


    —


    She let him take her breath, let his passion consume her.


    Their lips parted only when they were both gasping, and his storm–dark eyes bore into hers.


    “Mrs. Gunn,” he rasped, “I think I want to eat you first… and then go out to dinner.”


    “No way!” <fn4a8f> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? FindN0vel</fn4a8f>


    Natalie wriggled <i>free </i>under his arm, pulled a face at him, and bolted out of the room.
