[Such an innocent guy, his face turns red with just a touch]
[Chloe, give your vote to the brother. Look how he's pining for you]
[The glamorous lady and the innocent young guy]
After lunch, everyone headed to their tents for a siesta. The boys were already dozing off in theirs, while Lovebot sneaked into the girls' tent. Chloe was fast asleep. The others were lounging on their air mattresses, lost in conversation. Kalilah was perched on Diana's bed.
"Hey, Diana, Mr. Connor is so good to you. What's the deal between you two?" Kalilah asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"He's my Uncle Connor," Diana replied, matter-of-factly.
"Are you two actually related?" Kalilah prodded, feigning innocence like a nosy sister.
Diana's cheeks turned rosy. "No, we're not related by blood. He's the fourth in the family line-up, a generation above me. I've been calling him that since I was little."
Kalilah's eyes dimmed with a touch of disappointment. All this "Uncle Connor" talk, and she had assumed they were real relatives.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
"So, how did you meet him? Have you known him since you were a kid?"
Diana nodded, her voice softening. "When I was twelve, I was kidnapped by some bad people. Uncle Connor
rescued me. He told me not to be afraid and promised to look after me. Ever since then, I've been under his protection. Nobody's dared to mess with me again. I'm so grateful to Uncle Connor. Without him, I don't think I'd be here today."
Diana was speaking from the heart. Her 12th birthday was a nightmare etched in her memory. She was kidnapped and thrown into a
pitch-dark basement. No sunlight, no water, no food. She had no idea how long she was trapped-days.or maybe just hours. She cried until she lost her voice.
Just when she was about to give up, Connor burst through the basement door, like a hero descending from the heavens. She curled up in fear, but he Diana patted her head. "Don't be scared. I'll get you out. From now on, I've got your back. I won't let her hurt you again."
The "her" Connor was referring to was Claire-Sartori Corporation's eldest daughter. Elegant on the outside but ruthless and insane inside. Claire was Diana's father's ex-wife, and she had always hated Diana for being the product of an affair.
Diana never imagined Claire would go so far as to kidnap her and leave her to starve in a basement. Later, Diana learned she had been there for four days. Her parents were frantic. Her father had suspected Claire, but when he confronted her, she played innocent. Her mother had even knelt and begged, her forehead bleeding, but Claire still wouldn't let Diana go.
Everyone knew Claire was behind it, but no one could touch her. When Connor finally carried Diana out, she was barely conscious. Suzanne broke down in tears at the sight of her, and Desmond yelled, "Claire, you're a monster! And you still deny kidnapping my daughter?"
Even faced with undeniable evidence, Claire just laughed it off. "Your little bastard is just a toy to me. She's born on the seventh of July, huh?"
When Claire mentioned the seventh of July, her expression turned manic. "Do you know what true despair is? Have you seen what hell looks like? Have you ever met a real devil?" She laughed maniacally, then turned and saw Connor.
