Chapter 91

Having such an adorable daughter already makes you a winner in life, so why is Aiden so unsatisfied?

Christina gently patted Lily's head. "Alright, sweetie, you gotta tell me everything you're thinking. The more details, the better my magic will work."

"Okay!" Lily nodded eagerly.

Lily then spilled out a flood of thoughts, and Christina jotted everything down, planning to draft a design tonight and show it to Lily tomorrow.

Soon, Mia parked the car outside a burger joint.

While ordering, she asked Christina, "Do you like burgers? If you do, I'll grab you one too. If not, we can check out some other takeout options. My treat today."

"A burger's fine," Christina replied. She wasn't a huge fan of fast food, but she didn't mind it once in a while.

Outside the burger joint, Aiden pointed inside. "Those three. Tie them up. As long as you get the job done, money won't be an issue."

Mia was an only child. Once she was out of the picture, all the family assets would go to Lily. And Aiden was Lily's biological father.

With all that wealth in his hands, he could do whatever he wanted.

"You've come to the right people. As long as the money's good, there's nothing we can't do," one of the men behind him chuckled.

They waited outside the burger joint, ready to follow Mia as soon as she came out.

Mia initially planned to drop Christina back at school, but halfway there, she remembered something. "How about you come home with me tonight? I want to renovate the house I'm living in now. I don't want any traces of Aiden left."

"Mommy, isn't Daddy coming home tonight?" Lily suddenly asked.

Mia thought her daughter missed her father and was racking her brain for an explanation when Lily continued, "Daddy's so weird. He said he was going to apologize to you tonight and wanted me to help him, but now he's nowhere to be seen."

"Lily, did you really want to go to the beach with Mommy and Daddy, or did Daddy tell you to say that?" Mia tried to keep her emotions in check.

Lily replied, "Daddy told me to say that. He said you two had a fight, and he regretted it. He wanted me to help make you happy."

At that moment, Mia's tears flowed uncontrollably.

Thank goodness she hadn't softened earlier. Aiden was truly despicable.

Taking a deep breath, Mia told Christina, "Not just the villa we're living in now, but any house he's ever been in-I want them all renovated. Ms. Windsor, I'm counting on you."

Christina was almost dizzy from the sudden windfall.

Just from Mia alone, she stood to make a fortune!

With money on the line, she was all in. "I'll come home with you tonight. I can take measurements for the renovation."

Mia's villa was in the suburbs, and it was already dark, with few cars on the road.

Halfway there, a car suddenly rammed into them from behind.

Mia quickly got out to check the situation, but before she could say anything, someone covered her mouth and dragged her into a car.

Another man knocked on Christina's window. "Hey, get out and see what you did to our car. The headlights are completely wrecked."

Christina sensed something was off.

But the man quickly opened the car door and sprayed a sedative mist in her face.

A wave of dizziness hit her.

Christina wanted to call the police, but she didn't even have the strength to reach for her phone. Her head slumped, and she passed out.

When she woke up, she found herself tied to a chair, with Mia beside her and the vast ocean behind them.

They were on a ship's deck!

"Ms. Mia Wilson? Wake up," Christina called softly.

Mia soon opened her eyes. Realizing their predicament, she struggled desperately to free herself from the ropes.

Just then, Aiden approached with a lantern, Bianca by his side.

With no one else around, Aiden dropped all pretense, his eyes filled with malice. "I was going to spare you, but you had to be shameless and break with me. Now neither of you will live!"

"Let Ms. Windsor go. She has nothing to do with this. Where's Lily?" Mia hadn't finished speaking when Aiden burst into laughter.

He grabbed Mia's face. "You should worry about yourself. Neither of you will live. Don't worry, I'll let Lily live a few more years."

"If your daughter dies too soon, who will take care of my son?" Bianca walked over, smug.

Not only could she take Mia's place, but she could also transfer all of Mia's wealth to her own son.

It was a dream come true for her. "Don't worry, I'll let your daughter live a couple more years. Once we transfer all your assets, we'll send your whole family to hell."

"Aiden, how could you be such a bastard?" Mia trembled all over.

She never imagined that marrying Aiden, the wrong man, would bring such disaster to her family.

"For the sake of our marriage, I beg you, don't harm my family."

"Your parents still don't trust me and won't hand over the company. They deserve it," Aiden said, feeling no remorse.

Bianca urged him, "Stop wasting time. Kill her quickly so we can leave. I don't want to end up in jail if someone sees us."

"Don't worry. It's pitch dark, and there are no cameras at sea. If the police ask, we'll say Mia fell into the sea trying to save her daughter and got eaten by sharks. No evidence, no case. Who will know the truth?" Aiden said smugly.

He had already thought of everything and was confident nothing would go wrong.

But Bianca was still uneasy. "Hurry up and throw them overboard. The sooner, the better. Then I'll tell the captain to head back."

"I know."

Aiden walked over to the two women.

He grinned wickedly and reached for Mia. Mia screamed in despair, and Christina called out desperately.

The louder they screamed, the more pleasure Aiden felt. "Scream all you want. Do you think anyone will come to save you?"

Using his strength, he dragged the chair-bound Mia to the edge of the deck and pushed her overboard, chair and all.

Next, it was Christina's turn.

Aiden didn't push her immediately. Instead, he reached out and touched her face.
