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 naïve.”

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 the computer 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 go 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, so lacking 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 accounts 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 account 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.

Disconnected?

How could that be?

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.

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?

No.

He refused to accept 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 account.

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 to come 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?”
