" Son, you are finally here."'Leonard turned and looked up at Nichola, who was staring at them expressionlessly with his hands stuffed in his pocket. Instantly, all eyes were on Nichola. " Yes." Nichola responded curtly. He bowed to his parents. Nina and Emilia quickly stood up from where they were seating and went to meet Nichola with cosmic smiles. " My dear, it's good to see you again." Nina rubbed Nichola's hands and checked him out. It had been a while since they have last seen each other." I know." Nichola smiled at Nina and placed a kiss on her palm. " You look more beautiful today." He complimented. Nina blushed and immediately averted her gaze from Nichola. Emilia embraced Nichola and held him tightly, rubbing his back in circular motions. " Don't tell me you totally forgot about your mum, hun?" She pouted and wanted to scold Nichola badly. Nichola turned to Emilia with an helpless look and shook his head." How can I forget about the one who gave birth to me?"
"This is the signature of the divine healer. How do you have it?"An expression of horror could be read on the faces of Emma and her mother as they comprehended what (Emma's friend) had just told them."That can not be true", Emma muttered with a shaky breath and a perplexed look on her face.Clara laughed in confusion and scorn, "Wait, what are you trying to insinuate Brad, because I'm having a hard time believing what you just said. This belongs to Nichola! It can't be it!" He snatched the sheet from the servant's hand, taking a quick glance around."This signature is awefully familiar. I can't be mistaken. It's got to be the signature of the divine healer.""What do you know about the divine healer? Have you even met with him or had access to any document with his signature?""I may not clearly recall where I saw it, but it's unmistakable. Trust me, it's either Nichola or whatever you called is doing something shady that relates with the divine healer or he is the divine heal
"I can tell you where he is"The three pairs of eyes looked eagerly at him."I will tell you on the condition that you answer my question"They looked at him in anticipation, nodding."Why exactly are you looking for him?"Clara and Emma glanced at each other, silently sending signals with their eyes. They sighed. " If you promise to help us find him and get him to us, we will tell you everything but you must also agree not to go against us." Clara voiced out and pointed to Dane. Dane frowned but nodded. " Okay." Then, he led them in. Although, Sandra wasn't satisfied, she couldn't object as she was also curious to know why Emma and Clara came to the city because of Nichola. Did they discovered something ? The four of them all went into the mansion silently. ** Once it was mid afternoon, Nichola left skyline and went to pick Liliana at her company. Liliana had prepared and was already waiting for him.The moment she saw Nichola got out of the car, she waved at hi
" Dane, as my husband, you must avenge me." Nichola's mouth turned upward and he lowered his eyes lazily at Sandra, mocking her fake acts. " So you know I am your son in law? Thought you didn't accept me before?" Ironically, he said. " Shut up!" Sandra snapped at him. " What do you know, bastard?! You are nothing but a cursed imbecile!" " And a thief! A big fraud! Do you think we don't know what you are up to?!" Emma stepped forward and immediately accused Nichola. " You have the insolent gut to forge the divine healer's signature and you can still remain calm this was as if you did nothing wrong! I will make sure you don't escape this!"'" Me too." Clara added and declared. " You are going to jail and will pay for this real hard! I can't wait to see you hanging behind bars, unfortunate loser! You have been doing this fraud thing all these while but today, will mark the end of it!" Nichola seized them up indifferently as they yelled at him and he crossed his arms against his ch
Emma slammed the door shut with pent-up frustrations after her Clara,Emma, and Dane had gone in."How could he?", Clara yelled, throwing down her bag on the couch.Dane heaved as he ran a hand through his hair and sucked in a breath."Just who does he think he is? How did he win?"Sandra was red in the face as she brooded upon all that had happened at the restaurant , most especially the arrival of Mia. "I wish I could slap off the silly smirk from his face. What made him so confident and who on earth was that woman who stood to support him?""She's probably an old acquaintance who had some illegal connections", Emma spat. "Or an illegitimate partner"Sandra continued, "He even had some nerve to talk back to me, after staying under my roof without paying an ounce of usefulness.""I can't believe he got away with it. That bastard will definitely be planning something evil for. He seems to have thought it all through. He was steps ahead of us""He still has to be stopped. We n
The picture was the document with his signature on it with the caption, 'Exposed! County bumkin out to ruin the divine healer by forging his signature'. Nichola tried to restrain his anger but his palms clenched hardly, a crack sound resonated as a result of his phone been crushed by his hands! He looked down at his crushed phone but there was no expression on his face. He ignored the phone and took the system out, then he checked the news again. He couldn't believe it, his eyes dimming rapidly. The news had gained attraction from almost all the netizens in the country and they started painting Nichola's face with a bad picture. " Oh my goddess! I can't believe this! Are people that desperate now, they can even do anything to the extent of forging and faking a signature just to give it as a birthday gift?! This is unbelievable!" " And not just a normal signature! The divine healer! This is too audacious! I can even feel my lips tensing! I wonder what the divine healer would do t
Nichola tapped his feet on the wood tiled ground, staring out of the window at the pouring rain."You sure you'd be able to leave today?", Mia asked calmly, sipping a cup of water and scrolling through her phone.Nichola barely spared her a glance and just kept staring hard at the intensifying downpour."You know, a proper thank you would be appreciated for my helping you stand against those pesty in-laws of yours"The rain that had started as a drizzle was quickly becoming a storm. Nichola wished it would just pass as soon as it had come so he would not have to be stuck here with Mia."Nichola," she called, resting a palm softly on his arm to draw his attention. "Why do you have to go through all this? Why do you not want what you deserve and keep chasing what doesn't deserve you?"Her arms moved slowly up his arm, causing him to stiffen in irritation. He grabbed her hand and pushed it away from him."Don't put your hands on me, Mia. I'm not exactly patient now, "She blew out
Nichola drove at a neckbreaking speed to the Rossi's mansion, where he knew Liliana could be.He came to a sharp halt just in front of the mansion and ran to the door. Before he could raise his hand to pound on the door as he intended, the door swung open to reveal a smirking Emma."We have an August visitor," she called loudly, still smirking at him standing at the door.Sandra rushed to the door and laughed upon seeing Nichola looking so desperate."Where is Liliana? I have to see her", he said in one breath, but Sandra snickered."I think you lost your way, son. I mean, what would you be doing in the house of the same people you said lacked brains? You had better go back to the he'll you're coming from because there is no room in the house for you, or in Liliana's heart either for you", she snapped and tried to slam the door shut but he held it with an arm."Ma'am, I'm here for my wife and I must see her", he said."Are you breaking into our home now? That only proves how much
