Nisha’S POVAfter a lengthy drive, we arrived at The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park hotel, where Dum would meet with an important client who wishes to see him at the meeting. First, I let Dum step out of the car in front of the hotel's entryway so that he could enter inside first, while I parked the car in the parking lot."What are you not getting out of the car for?" " Dum questioned as he peered at me through the car window."I'm going to park the car, sir; you go inside first, and I'll follow you inside when I finish parking the car," I told him."No, get out of the car and let the Valet Park it," Dum said angrily."But I can do-" I didn't complete my statement since Dum was staring at me angrily. I groaned and opened the car door, stepping out instantly."Hand the car keys to the Valet as soon as possible; we're going to be late due to your slowness!" " Dum reprimanded me once more.I instantly handed over the car key to the Valet and followed Dum as he entered the hotel. We
Nisha's POVThe tension around the room got more intense as Dum looked at grandmother with a challenged eye " Simple because you have the same last name Mrs. Damore" he replied to grandmother's question.Grandmother raised her eyebrows at him again and smiled, "If we have the same last name, do we have a family connection? What if it was just a coincidence that we have the same last name, Mr.Mace?" Grandmother asked Dum, "If the employee right there who escorted you also has the same last name, does that mean she also has a family connection towards me?"Yes, Grandmother has a point that dum shouldn't deduce that we have a family link, but he is correct to be suspicious because of our last names, and what he suspects is the fact that my grandmother and I have a familial connection. Dum should be unaware of such information, and he should dismiss his suspicions about my relationship with my grandma."Mrs.Damore is correct Sir, you should not jump to conclusions about us having a famili
Nisha's POV After a little silence, Dum returned to Grandmother's statement with a solemn expression as he turned to face her. Dum responded to my grandmother's statement while listening carefully and felt intimidated on the inside."My secretary is simply concerned that you may be rushing to become our lifetime investor in my company." Dum, explain the reaction "I also agree with her. Please rethink and comprehend seriously if your decision is correct because you may change your mind and regret being a Lifetime investor in my company Mrs. Damore.""Interesting, other businessmen would not have this reaction; they quickly smile and agree on my decision to be their lifetime investor, but you and your secretary are totally different," Grandmother observed.Of course, Dum is not like those greedy and selfish businessmen who only want money so they can deceive and exploit it, even if it isn't their money in the first place."Well, those people are selfish and greedy thieves who only thin
Nisha's POV This can't be real; why is he here? I looked at my grandmother, who was pretending to be interested in the design on the wall. I really need to talk to her once this problem is resolved."Oh, who is this lovely young lady in front of me?" Mr.Dadds questioned seductively as he caught me staring at him.I was a little frightened, and my cheeks paled when I thought this person may identify me as Nyx, but I'm confident he won't remember me because I was wearing my mask when we last met. I simply want to make sure he doesn't recognize me.I didn't respond to his question; instead, I avoided his stare and diverted my focus to Dum, who was making an irritating grimace at Mr.Dadds." Sir, we need to go right now for you to rest; that was the doctor's orders and condition when they granted your discharge," I said to Dum, but it was a lie; the doctor never mentioned having Dum rest as a condition for him to be released from the hospital.I simply want an excuse to get out of here a
Nisha's POV Why are my kids here?! I turned to face my grandma, who just averted my gaze and smiled at my children. How can you possibly smile right now? Oh my goodness! Grandmother, this is an issue, so don't grin as if nothing is wrong with the scenario!"Oh, my kids, I'm sorry grandma's meeting lasted so long that I forgot my promise to you," grandmother apologized to Ird and Boone, who looked bewildered.Both children shake their heads as an answer " No, grandmother we should be the one who should say sorry because we just barged in your meeting without thinking we might interrupt you with your guest" Ird and Boone apologize to Grandmother.Oh, my babies are so adorable! They are now mature enough to recognize when they have done something wrong and to apologize for it. I'm delighted I was able to raise my children correctly on my own."No it's okay my babies, grandmother understand why you did it " grandmother replied to them " come here my babies let me hug you both" Ird and B
Nisha's POV"Anyhow, pleasure meeting everyone!" Ird said, smiling at the three of us.Except for Mr. Dadds, who is staring at him with a bored face, we all smiled back.My kid was born attractive, and he has a pleasant personality that makes him interesting to others. Unlike her elder sister Boone, who is a bit rude and mean to her brother, and also the way she expresses herself among people who are strangers to her."We should definitely go, Mrs. Damore, so you can bond with your grandkids, who are so thrilled to be with you," Dum said to grandmother."Well, you're mistaken, Mr.Mace; these kids are merely happy to visit their mother, who is staying in New York for a year on business," Grandmother explains to Dum about my children's excitement to see their mother.I was just furious at my grandma, who constantly talked about me and how she brought the kids with her to New York, putting their safety at danger."Oh okay, it's reasonable they'd miss their mother who was constantly there
Nisha's POV Finally, after so many talks, we're going to leave this place. I can now rest, knowing that nothing has occurred and that no one has recognized me or the kids." We will be going out then Mrs.Damore and children " Dum said goodby to them as he bowed his head in respect before starting to walk away.Because I was pretending to be a naive and innocent secretary. I hurriedly bowed my head without saying anything and followed Dum, who was already opening the door. I dashed towards him in order to get ahead of him." You close the door" Dum ordered when he saw that I caught up with him in his back.I simply nodded at him and closed the door gently. I went to check into the room one more time to see my babies before closing the door. When I finished locking the door, I walked rapidly towards Dum, who was also going quickly." Sir, congrats on your new contract as well as your new investor!" I congratulate him on his deal with my grandma."Don't be too excited yet, squirrel, we
Dhruv’s POVI'm not sure why I was so irritated when the bellman abruptly grasped the squirrel's hand in front of me; when I saw what he did, I wanted to murder him right away for holding her hand without permission. But I changed my mind; I want to make that man pay for holding her hand, so he will regret it. I'm not sure why this stranger stirred up unwelcome emotions and thoughts that I had hidden away under my heart after Ranie had left me that night."Sir," the squirrel remarked to me, "I believe it is time to quit washing; my hands are already clean."I stare at her hand, which I am still scrubbing, and I am not sure whether it is clean or not. I want to make certain that the bellman's touch and filth are erased. I didn’t listen to her plea ang continued to wipe her hand."No, it's not cleaned yet," I responded coldly."But sir, it's very embarrassing to have my own employer do this," she grumbled again.While I was cleaning her hands, I noticed the car begin to move away from t
NISHA'S POV I am now free after being imprisoned in the hospital for one week! I was cheerfully loading my belongings into my suitcase. Dum entered my room, so I looked at him to welcome him."Hello, sir! Who are they?" I smiled as I welcomed him, but when I noticed there was someone with him, I asked."Oh, they're your bodyguards," Dum answered my question.My what?!"My bodyguards, sir? What do you mean?" I asked, my face puzzled."Well, because of what occurred to you these last few days, I've decided to appoint a bodyguard to protect you for the duration of this issue with me." Dum explain to me"But I don't need a bodyguard, sir; you do since someone is attempting to murder you!" I instantly objected that I don't need a bodyguard because I can take care of myself, and he does."Don't worry, I can take care of myself, and you need it the most because you're near to me, and they could target you the most to get me," Dum said, dismissing my protest.Damn it, if I have a bodyguard t
Chief's POV" Sir, we failed to attack him," they said, explaining what had transpired."Idiots! It's a simple chore, and you couldn't do it?" I yelled angrily at them, hurling the glass I was holding at them.Damn these stupid fools, it was only an easy assignment to murder that jerk! That man should die, or else all I've done in the past would be for naught!"We did our best, sir, but we were overpowered by him and his new secretary," they both replied again."You did your best?! IDIOTS!" I yelled angrily at them again.In rage and irritation by their foolish response, I hurl another object at them. If these guys are so ignorant, how did they become top-tier assassins?"YOU DID YOUR BEST?! WHAT A JOKE!" I yelled angrily at them again." Sir-""You didn't do your best, fools! If you actually did your best, that jerk would have died right now and I wouldn't have had any problems, but he's still alive because you're both useless!" I yelled at them."All right sir, we'll depart immediat
NISHA'S POV"Sir, is there anything in my face, and why are you gazing at my face so seriously?" I asked, nervously."No, there's nothing on your face. I was only thinking about how to apologize to you for our shameless behavior that you witnessed minutes ago when Me and Lionel were being dumb and immature," he said in an embarrassed tone."No, it's alright, sir, I understand because I know sometimes friends really fight each other and me and my friends fight all the time when we meet" I said promptly, telling him I didn't mind what I had just witnessed.He simply smiled at me with relief in his eyes, saying, "Thank you for understanding, and I am very sorry for endangering your life in this situation."I also smiled back at him, "no, sir, I already told you it's alright, I understand, and it's not your fault okay? And you truly didn't intend that I'd be in danger," I added again."I am really fortunate to have such an understanding secretary as you, and I do not regret having you as
TWIN'S POV" Hey pig, do you know what mom's secret is?" I questioned my sister abruptly."What nonsense are you asking, cow?" said angrily as she looked at me and put down her book.I merely rolled my eyes at her, put down the pen I was holding, and stopped doing my schoolwork to look her in the eyes." It's not nonsense, I'm seriNow it's her time to widen her eyes in front of me in astonishment and laugh at me. "You anticipated that to be my reaction, didn't you? Sorry but you're mistaken, sir," she remarked, telling me that my assumption was incorrect.ous pig," I told her once again, my countenance solemn.She also rolled her eyes back to me, "fine, if your question is serious, then I don't know what mom's secret is, whatever it is," she eventually answered my question."Then you're stupid if you didn't notice it then, and I thought I had a clever sister but I was mistaken," I stated again, frustrated and dismissive.She slammed the table so hard that the book she was reading fell
Nisha's POVI was taken aback when I heard her question since the manner she questioned me on who I was made me feel as if she was accusing me of not being who I am.I furrowed my brows at her after hearing her strange question to me, "what do you mean by that question Ma'am? I am Sir Dhruv's secretary," I asked, confusedly.She just stared at my eyes directly and it made me uncomfortable and so I just turned my face, acted like I was looking for something in my bed."Do you want water, ma'am? Or food? I'm sorry we didn't give you anything when you came in because of the serious discussion minutes ago." As I walked down to my bed, I offered her something to drink or eat and apologized for not giving it earlier."Are you sure?" She asked again in a lower voice.It made me tilt my head toward her again and look her in the eyes. "I don't understand what you meant, Ma'am," I said innocently, not understanding what she was saying."I truly dislike individuals like you who act ignorant whe
NISHA'S POV"Wait, did I hear you properly, you're a victim? And how did that happen?" Shmue said, shocked, when he was the first to recover from his astonishment."It's a lengthy story to tell, and I don't recall much of it since I suffered from amnesia for the previous 17 years and only remembered fragments of what occurred and who I was," the woman answered to Shmue's question.So she was a victim with no recall of the previous 17 years? That is hard for me to believe. I examine the woman in the mask intently to see whether she is speaking the truth."Nope, I'm not going to trust you, I have a feeling you're lying and hiding something!" Lionel responded, not believing what he heard from the woman.Lionel, you are not alone. I'm also skeptical of what she's saying, and I suspect she's keeping something from us. If I could simply ask her more questions without being suspicious of Dum, Shmue, and Lionel, I would."I know it's difficult to believe, but I'm speaking the truth about what
Nisha's POVWhen we finished eating, the dish was not totally consumed, so Shmue asked if he may eat it instead. We were both shocked when he offered to finish the dish by himself."Anyway, sir, can you explain to me right now what's going on and what AS is? I've already heard those words twice" I began to ask Dum the things I wanted to ask him.When he heard the questions I was asking him, Dum groaned in resignation. "All right, I'll explain it, but the information I have isn't all that full, so there are certain things I couldn't describe adequately," Dum answered."All right, sir, I'm good with that," I said."The only thing I know is that someone is trying to kill me because I am trying to find out about the death of my ex lover, ex partner, and also my first love Ranie Oleen Nach, as well as what the connection is between the well-known NYX's death and her death as well," dum began to slowly explain his answers to my questions."And don't forget Ranie will be your forever first a
Nisha's POV We started eating silently since it was becoming weird, and I don't enjoy not talking. I cast a peek towards Dum, but am surprised to realize that he is not eating but is simply staring at me."Why are you not eating, Sir?" I said as I ceased eating as well."I'm not hungry yet, so please keep on eating," Dum said as he told me to continue eating."No, sir, you should eat, see how small and thin your physique is! It's a waste if you keep doing that, that'll simply make you ugly and I don't like it because it's a waste to make a lovely guy become ugly," I said, shaking my head in disdain."I am handsome?" Dum asks, his voice disbelieving.Wow look at this dude, he is still ignorant not to recognize how attractive his face is?!"Of course, sir, just look in the mirror and you'll see a face that every single girl dreams of having as her husband!" I answered to Dum, assuring him of his good looks."Well, I think you're simply deluded because what I see every time I look in th
Nisha's POVAfter a few minutes had elapsed since everyone had left my room. I attempted to sleep on my bed, but no matter how many times I tried to close my eyes and sleep, I couldn't.Damn it!When will they stop talking to each other?! Dum might just tell her to go, and that would be the end of it. I now regret telling them to leave the room. I'm dying to know what they're on about!I can't take it any longer, so I'm going to listen in on their conversation outside. I stepped down to my bed and proceeded towards the door, placing my ear into the door and listening to what was going on outside.Oh my goodness, I can't understand what they're saying! What should I do to improve my hearing? aha! Let me just fetch a glass, that should be enough.When I finished obtaining a glass from the mini kitchen, I quickly placed it on the door and began listening from within to what they were saying outside.Dhruv's PovWhen we eventually got out of the room, I let go of Isolabella's arm.
