"She and I met before this?"
Thomas furrowed his brows and flipped through the folder.
"Why don't I remember her at all? “
"Perhaps Ms.Yannie is so plain-looking that you never gave her much notice."
Xander sighed and continued, "According to my research, Ms.Yannie grew up here in Merchant City
and never once left, except for the time she flew to a small village in Europa last year to attend
someone's funeral in her mother's place.
"Coincidentally, you were shooting a movie in that same village, and you even stayed a night in the
church due to the heavy rain."
Thomas narrowed his eyes.
"I'll never forget that night."
That night, someone from the film crew had spiked his tea with a poison of some sort that enhanced his
libido.To counter the drug's effects, he needed to sleep with someone, and there were plenty of women
of his choosing among the film crew.
However, Thomas knew that the person who had spiked his tea was undoubtedly a woman from the
film crew who had intended to sleep with him, so he refused to do so.
Even after the drug began to take effect and caused him to become increasingly disoriented, he
insisted to his assistants and Father Samuel that no one was to be allowed in his room.
That night, more than ten women were forced to stare at his room door, waiting for it to open.
Everyone knew that international superstar Thomas Howard was on the other side of the door, and if
they were to sleep with him, they would ascend to rising fame.
If they were lucky, they might be able to win over his heart and become a celebrity wife.
Despite this, no one was allowed to enter the room under the assistants' careful watch.
All but one.
Thomas remembered that as he drifted off to sleep that night, a woman had slipped through his window
from outside.She had wanted to search the room for something and did not even know he was there.
Therefore, when she entered the room and realized that someone was there, her eyes widened in
shock, and she kept insisting to Thomas that she had no ill intentions —she was just there to retrieve
something.
However, at that time, the poison had finally taken hold of his mind, he no longer cared about what she
had to say.
Instead, he pulled her to his side and did what he had to.He knew that this thief could not possibly be
one of the members of his film crew and, therefore, would be clean.
That night was one of the most intense nights he had ever experienced, but by the time he awoke, the
woman had disappeared.
There were no security cameras in the church, so no one knew who the woman was.
Not even Thomas could recall what the woman had looked like; all he remembered was that her eyes
were big and bright, framing her face beautifully.He could not help narrowing his eyes when he recalled
the woman.
After what happened that night, he had put substantial effort and money into tracking her down, but it
was as though she had disappeared into thin air.
No matter how hard he tried to persuade Father Samuel, he refused to give him any information
regarding the woman who had broken into his room.
Therefore, Thomas had no choice but to embark on this search alone, but how could he achieve that
on his own?
