Catherine ended her revelation with a sigh as she stared at Nichola's unreadable expression.The sound of his ringing phone permeated the silent office. "What is it."He answered it and Catherine observed the obvious darkening of his expression as he heard whatever the caller said."I'll be there in a moment"He picked up his suit jacket and walked out of his office. Catherine, oblivious to the reason of his reaction stood as well.He walked out of the office and she followed suit."I'm coming with you"He did not give her a response. He just kept walking and she took it as an affirmative for her to follow.As he entered his car and revved the engine, when Oliver rushed over to him."Oliver""Young master, we have the guy who tried to attack Liliana"Nichola's eyes darkened dangerously."My men got the man after trailing part of the attack that day to him. He refused to talk till he was tortured and nowhere is ready to confess"Nichola caressed his chin, boiling within but trying to

Liliana's face was swollen. She had cried herself to sleep since Scar had told her of his intentions and adamantly refused to change his mind.He had walked out on her, telling her to deal with her emotions and just face the reality that she would never see Nichola again.Tears threatened to spill from her eyes. She stared at nothing in particular, sitting still on the chair she had sat for a long time, thinking.She wondered how worried Nichola, her parents, and friends would be. She had been gone for so long without a trace, and it did not seem like she would be found anytime soon because Scar seemed to be very meticulous in his planning.She had overheard him talking to someone Ln the phone about covering up his tracks to avoid being tailed by the police and all who had been sent to find Liliana.At the thought of Nicholw, her heart throbbed. All she had to do was trust him. She beat herself mentally for not even giving him a benefit of the doubt and just throwing him out of

" During that time when I wanted to save you, I managed to saw a crescent shape on the chest of those strange people who attacked us but I couldn't decipher it so I didn't bother. It's just right now, I think the shape means something even though I don't know what it is." As she narrated this, the atmosphere dropped down to a nth degree.....With this, Nichola deliberated more on the issue. " There is more to it." He voiced out, pressing his hands together. " Yes, there is but I think we all know what's more important right now." Emilia looked at Nichola knowingly. Leonard sighed even more and moved closer to Emilia, holding her hand. " Your mother is right. We can wait. The family can wait but we have to save your family first." Something instantly tugged Nichola's heart but he coincided. " Oliver, investigate who Peter is and tell me why Andrea is so adamant to engage Liliana with his son." He ordered instantly. " Yes, young master." Oliver didn't waste a time and quick

The resentment in her for Nichola grew with each passing second as Lisa sat in the room she had been confined in. "When the hell will Oliver be back?", she snapped at the men who held her hostage. They gave her nlank stare but did not respond. "I'm talking to you" Still no response. "You can't keep me locked up here without letting me know how long I'll be here" She groaned, still sulking. She could not wait to see Oliver she wished she could just devise a means to get out of the hospital. "At least let me know when I can go on a toilet break", she said. The men glared at her but refused to say anything. She hissed and turned her head to the other side in sheer anger and resentment. Who did these men think they were to hold her down against her wish? What did the company even think of themselves? She rolled her eyes when she saw through the corner of her eyes, one of the men who turned to look at her when she had gotten quiet and gave a satisfactory smile. She bit back a s

She looked quite okay to him and he wondered what help she could have called him there for.She smiled charmingly and poured an expensive wine into two wine glasses."We will get to that but first, have a drink", she said, sauntering over to him to hand him a glass of sparkling wine.Nichola looked down at the drink in Anna's hand coldly and refused it instantly. " There is no need. If you don't have anything to say. I will take my leave." He checked the time on his wristwatch and drew his brows together into a frown. Anna's face changed immediately, her lips twisting. " Why are you in a hurry? You just got here. Do you hate me that much you can't stand to see me or be in the same room with me? Don't forget there is still a marriage contract of me to you so I still have the right to call you." Nichola slowly lifted his head and gave her a dirty look. " Did you forgot to mention you also broke the contract cause you said you can't marry someone worthless and useless like me
