Chapter 673 Taken 50% +8 Pearls But before Tessa could even take a step, a firm hand grabbed the back of her neck and yanked her straight back into the room.
Tessa was stunned.
She didn't hesitate-she fought back with everything she had, fists flying as she opened her mouth to scream for help.
But the words never cout.
Before she could even land a single hit, her attacker had already locked her in a firm embrace, one large palm clamping down over her mouth.
The familiar scent stopped her brain cold for a second.
She knew who it was...
The man behind her exhaled warmly near the top of her head. "So you've got skills now? Even tried to fight me?" Victor's low, husky voice reached her ears-and every muscle in her body relaxed.
He let her go.
Tessa turned around. The moment she saw him-after almost twenty days apart-her eyes welled up without warning.
Tears instantly made her gaze look pitiful and fragile.
"Victor," she choked out, her voice thick with emotion.

A voice inside him screamed: Hold her. Kiss her. Kiss her hard.
But before he could even move- Tessa threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his lean waist, rubbing her cheek against his chest like a wronged kitten In that moment Victor froze.
The fire that had been burning in him for over half a month erupted all at once, like a volcano breaking open.
1/4 Chapter 673 Taken His kiss crashed down like a wave.
+8 Pearls Tessa was caught up in a whirlwind, pinned against him as he kissed her without restraint.
The air in the room turned hot-blistering.
All the emotions Victor had held back for over two weeks exploded. Even someone as self-controlled as him lost all sense of restraint...
Marie slept in late that morning-until ten.
She hadn't just trained Tessa into the ground for half a month. She'd gone through hell right alongside her. "Marie! Marie!" In the hazy fog of sleep, Marie was being shaken awake by Sophia.
She cracked her eyes open, groggy. "Mm? What is it?" "There's a problem." Marie went quiet.
Her eyes snapped open, and the last traces of sleep vanished.
She flipped out of bed, still tangled in her silk robe, and went straight to the door.
Sophia stood outside with a grave look on her face.
Marie asked, "What happened?" "Tessa's been taken." Marie froze.
"What?" Taken? Seriously? That couldn't be real. Who would be that reckless-or that skilled-to kidnap someone on her turf? "You sure she didn't sneak out or head off for more training?" Sophia said, "No. And it looks like something big happened." 2/4 13:02 Tue, 2 Sept Chapter 673 Taken Marie went quiet.
Looks like? Something big? +8 Pearls As soon as she heard that, her mind practically short-circuited. She rushed toward Tessa's room.
It wasn't far-right next door.
Standing in the doorway, she took in the scene: The whole room was a mess. Tessa's torn training uniform lay in a heap on the floor.
And the bed-completely wrecked.
Marie sucked in a sharp breath. "What the hell happened in here?" Assault? Kidnapping? No way. It was right next door. How deep had she been sleeping not to hear a thing? She turned to Sophia in disbelief.
Sophia's expression was just as grim. "If things went the way they look, we're screwed." Marie's mouth twitched.
"Damn right we're screwed." If Victor found out about this, she'd be hunted down across the globe. Even her brother wouldn't be able to protect her.
It was over.
How the hell was she supposed to explain this to Victor? Marie's brain was totally fried.
She shouted, "Who did it?!" "No idea. There's no trace of thein anywhere on the island." Sophia's tone was heavy..
She'd already searched every inch. Checked every possible entry and exit point. Nothing.
Marie growled, "Was it that bastard Dan?" Sophia went quiet.
3/4 Chapter 673 Taken Dan? If so... then they were even more screwed.
"Is there any chance it was Mr. Victor?" she asked hesitantly.

Marie frowned. "If it were Victor, he wouldn't hide it. He'd just show up e and take her. "If he'd found her and brought her back, he would've told me." She trusted Victor. Completely.
Hearing that, Sophia nodded. Yeah, that made sense.
Victor had no reason to sneak around. He'd take Tessa openly.
Marie's brain was fried.
She clenched her teeth. “If it was that son of a bitch Dan, Km gonna skin1 him alive!" The Cl content is on novelenglish.net! She was fuming.
Tessa wasn't even done with training yet.
And if someone had taken her without a sound-then clearly, she still wasn't anywhere near ready. Tessa was gone.
