Sylvia had recognized Yves long ago—or rather, she recognized who he'd been in her previous life.
Back then, Yves was known as the most terrifying heir in high society.
It was all because Yves had been diagnosed with a rare superhuman syndras a child.
The Hanson family had spent years covering up his condition, throwing money at problems and making them
disappear.
He'd hurt a lot of women. Swere paid off, and those who couldn't be silenced with cash had their lives
ruined by the Hanson family's influence.
Everything changed when an anonymous source handed over a full chain of evidence, catching Yves red-handed
just as he was about to strike again.
The news at the treleased a few details.
Like the kind of lock he used to trap his victims.
So from the first day she saw Yves, Sylvia started teaching herself how to survive
if she ever ended up in his clutches.
But the rest of the investigation was never made public.
No one knew exactly who Yves had hurt.
Or what really tied him to Kay.
Thinking back, Sylvia realized the details that were never released were probably erased by Rupert on purpose.
Otherwise, how would Kay have ended up happily married to her so-called "mystery husband," living the good
life overseas?
For the longest time, Sylvia had played along, desperate to understand the connection between Kay and the
Hanson family.
Now, finally, she understood everything.

Except...what role did Edwin play in all this?
Lost in thought, Sylvia didn't notice the cold voice behind her until it was too late.
"Ms. Winslet was right about you. | really shouldn't have underestimated you. You letcatch you on purpose,
didn't you?"
Yves, who she thought had left, was suddenly back.
Panic shot through Sylvia. She dropped the lamp she'd been holding, plunging the room into darkness.
Relying on memory, she scrambled behind the operating table.
But this was Yves' territory. There was no way she could outmaneuver him.
A second later, the lights blazed on.
Sylvia looked up and found herself facing a human skeleton. She couldn't help the scream that tore from her
throat.
She tried to run, but Yves grabbed her by the hair and slammed her onto the table.
Yves' superhuman gene meant he was huge-much stronger than most grown men. It took almost no effort for
him to pin Sylvia down.
He lifted her like she weighed nothing and slammed her back onto the table. Her vision swam.
That's when she realized why there were four extra restraints on the table.
They were for holding people down. The scratches etched into them were from others who had struggled
desperately.
Once she was tied up, Yves loomed over her, looking down coldly.
“Ms. Winslet told me, if you're gone, Reese can finally be happy.”
"I was going to wait a few more days, at least until everyone knew we were married. Then I'd take care of you,
make up sexcuse. After
all, who's going to question a

He said it like he was discussing a board game, his face blank, empty of emotion.
He shrugged off his suit jacket, pulled on a waterproof apron, and began laying out his tools.
Sylvia listened as metal clinked against metal, her teeth chattering.
But panic wouldn't save her now. She had to help herself.
Maybe Yves was in too much of a hurry, or maybe he'd just gotten careless-one
of her hands wasn't tied tight.
Sylvia wriggled, feeling the rope loosen. She needed more time.
So she started to stall.
"If I'm going to die, what's a few more minutes?" she said, forcing her voice to sound casual. "This is your
place anyway. How about lettingSay a few words fo s
Yves paused, curiosity flickering in his eyes. “What could you possibly have to say? Begging's not going to help
you."
"Not begging. | want to talk about you." Sylvia took a shaky breath and kept going. "Is this how you dealt with all
your girlfriends? Your wives, too?"
