Chapter 330
Yara could not wrap her head around Christopher’s change of behavior.
I’m beautiful and attractive. I’m way better than that woman!
Yara had no feelings for Christopher, but making him want her was a statement of victory for her. She had to prove that she was worthy of love and attention too. Driven by such thoughts, she gave in to her drunken passions as she moved forward, wanting to kiss him.
A triumphant smile cracked on her lips as she threw herself at Christopher, but just as their lips brushed, the man pushed her aside abruptly.
She stumbled backward at the force and dropped to the ground.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
“You,” Christopher pronounced deridingly, “you’re nothing compared to her.”
With that, he turned and staggered away without looking at her again.
Yara felt a pang of pain on her ankle, but she could not care less. She was enraged.
Samuel loves her, and Christopher loves her too!Who does she think she is? She came out of nowhere and stole their hearts. She’s not even pretty!
Yara burned with jealousy and hatred.
I swear I will find out who you are, Natalie!I don’t care if you’re my sister or not. I will see to it that you completely vanish from this world.
Yara stared into the dark cold night with her eyes brimming with resentment.
The autumn night appeared to be exceptionally cold for Yara as she dwelt in her resentment.
A chilly breeze howled through the night, ravaging through the trees and taking the dry leaves with it.

On the same cold night, Samuel was busy carrying Natalie down from the car. Feeling the sting of the wind, the woman snuggled in his embrace.
Her head moved around as she tried to find a comfortable spot.
Her subtle scent wafted through the cold air as strands of hair fell graciously on her cheeks.
Samuel’s heart beat fiercely. He hugged her tighter as if he had his whole world in his arms.
He walked faster toward the mansion, afraid that she would catch a cold. Gavin had been waiting for Samuel’s return ever since he left.
“Actually,” she said slowly, “this is my real face. I didn’t tell you earlier because it’s still not the time to do so yet.”
She shifted her gaze toward him, looking at him attentively. “What do you think? I think I look much better than when I have the mask on. Don’t you think you’re lucky? This must be a pleasant surprise for you.”
“Yes, it is,” he replied without much emotion in his voice.
He already knew her secret a long time ago.
Unlike what she expected, he was not entirely glad about this revelation. He knew she let down her guard only because she was drunk. She would not have told him this secret otherwise. He knew she would put on her tough front again when she woke up tomorrow, and she would fight her battle on her own. She would never learn to depend on him a little.
He wanted to change this, but he did not want to force his way on her either, so the only thing he could do for her was to stay by her side, giving her all the love and support that she needed.
He was ready to put up an act around her until she was willing to open up to him.
He looked down at Natalie as the dim moonlight bathed her figure.
Her long black hair was spread out on the bed, forming a stark contrast with her porcelain and flawless skin.
Samuel gradually lost himself in her beauty as he gazed at her exquisite features.
His desire for her surged in his heart like a beast waiting to be unleashed. When he finally gave in to his aching impulses, he pressed his body against hers and kissed her parted lips.
