"Nina, looks like you are upset now. Let's talk about this calmly tomorrow over lunch. Come, sit down and eat your dinner" William pushed his anger down and coaxed Nina.

But Nina is not in the mood to play a happy family with them.

"I lost my appetite" with that said, she walked away in the general direction of her room. She quickly packed everything she needed before she left her father's house.

"What is wrong with her?" Silas asked no one in general.

William frowned, but didn't reply.

'If Nina really decided to divorce Theodore, then no one can save me from this crisis. I need to coax her gently to change her decision ' he decided.

The next morning, Nina received a call from Ella, urging her to quickly come to 'Fragrance'. The company owned by the Vincent's. Nina skipped breakfast and rushed to the company. Ella didn't mention what happened. But her tone said it all. It is urgent.

The moment Nina stepped inside the lobby of Fragrance, she spotted Ella who was waiting for her. Ella ushered Nina to the top floor where a panel of directors, shareholders, and the technical team of 'Fragrance ' were waiting for her.

"Here she is. Nina Mor..." before Ella could finish, Nina cut her off with a smile.

"Hello, I am Nina Davis" Nina introduced herself.

A look of understanding passed between Nina and Ella.

"Is she the same woman who gave you those incense formulas?" one of the directors inquired.

"Yes" Ella replied proudly.

"Well Miss, we decided to launch testers based on the formulas you gave us. And we are delighted to announce that they are a huge hit. We are receiving millions worth of pre orders per each new scent. To meet the demand, we need to start the production immediately. All of us have unanimously decided to sign a contract with you. You will be given the position of the head of the technical team. Along with that, if you are willing to sign five years of bond with us, Miss Vincent is willing to offer twenty percent of company shares to you as a token of our appreciation" one of the directors, who is also Ella's father in law spoke gently. He is the only person in the Vincent family who supports Ella. But He is old and couldn't be of much help to her.

Nina was pleasantly surprised to hear this. She turned to look at Ella, who is grinning from ear to ear.

"You know what you did today?" Nina asked softly.

Ella thought for a moment before replying.

"I gave you a job?" she spoke as if she asking rather than replying.

Nina smiled softly.

"No, you showed me that you trust me. Ella, no one has ever trusted me the way you did. Not my biological father, or the man whom I am about to divorce. Thankyou" she spoke feeling moved and overwhelmed.

Ella hugged Nina.

"Well, you didn't throw me into the jail for almost killing you. Instead, you gave me your incenses which saved my husband's dream. This is the least I could do for you" she replied.

James Vincent, Ella's father-in-law looked at them with a fond smile. He is happy that Ella found someone who genuinely likes her. He can foresee a strong bond forming between the two.

Nina quickly finished the procedure. She signed the contract and officially became a part of the 'Fragrance' team.

"Well, see you tomorrow at work" Nina said goodbye to Ella.

Ella gave her a curious look.

"Where to?" she asked with a curious smile.

Nina pulled out the divorce agreement which she signed.

"I am going to take these to Mr. Morrison. I am planning to finalize our divorce today" Nina said. She is pleased that her voice never wavered despite the ache in her heart.

Ella gave Nina a thumbs up.

"Well, don't let his handsomness affect your decision" she teased to cheer Nina.

Nina grinned.

"It's a good thing that I am immune to his handsomness now" she replied.

After saying goodbye to Ella, Nina went directly to the Morrison group. But the receptionist near the lobby didn't recognise Nina and refused to allow her inside.

"We cannot allow you inside without an appointment Miss" the receptionist informed Nina.

Nina didn't bother calling Theodore. Because she knows that he wouldn't answer her calls.

"Well then, in that case, please give these papers to Mr. Morrison. Tell him that Nina gave these papers to him" Nina handed over the papers near the front desk before turning to leave.

But the moment she turned around, she stumbled into someone.

"I am so..." her apology died in her throat when she saw who the man is. It's none other than her soon to be Ex husband.

"What a coincidence" she murmurred with a cold look.

Her eyes lack the usual warmth it holds when she is facing him. Instead, all she could give him is her cold indifference.

He is not alone. His assistant Neel is a step behind him.

"What are you doing here?" Theo asked Nina. His expression shows his indifference and distrust towards the woman infront of him.

Nina is used to seeing this from him. It used to hurt her before. But after watching him with Chelsea in that hospital, a part of her died there. So his lack of affection is not at all bothering her.

Nina calmly picked up the divorce agreement from the reception desk and offered him the papers. When he refused to take it, she slapped the papers on his chest coldly.

Everyone gasped with shock at her audacity. Theodore is known for his coldness. No one dares to offend him. But today Nina did it openly.

'Well, boss might kill Mrs. Morrison today' Neel thought.

Theo on the other hand caught Nina by her elbow and pulled her along towards his cabin. Neel hastily followed after him. As her leg and arm are still not healed, she struggled to walk. But she didn't show him how much it is hurting her.

What new tricks are you playing at? What are you trying to prove by coming to my company with all those bandages? None of them might know that these tricks of yours are not new to me and you are a liar. But I know you and your intentions. Are you trying to look pity in front of me?" he snapped at Nina coldly.Nina is already used to him looking at everything she did as a ploy to win his favour. She is not shocked. But still she felt a pang of pain in her heart. She suppressed her emotions and looked at him coldly. The image of Theo escorting Chelsea in the hospital reminded her why she decided to divorce him in the first place."Well Mr. Morrison, you might not care whether I live or die. But don't worry, I didn't come here to cause you any trouble. In fact I never remember causing you any trouble either. It's you w

    "Now why do I feel like you truly doesn't care about my wellbeing? What do you want?" Nina asked calmly. Chelsea is taken aback by Nina's reaction. The other woman is calm and composed. Chelsea didn't like it. She wanted Nina to be riled up and cause a scene here, So that Theo would come and see his wife under bad light and rescue Chelsea. "Oh Nina, you are mistaken. I know you must be feeling bitter because Theo chose me instead of you. I know he doesn't like you at all. He often shares how cold his bed feels.

Just then, she remembered what Bianca just said before she received that text and left. 'My brother is not happy with my relationship with Sandro' Bianca's friend smirked and decided to call Bryan. She immediately found Bryan's number from her contact list and dialed his number. Bryan answered the call on fourth ring. "Hello" he sounded rude and irritated. Bianca's friend hesitated before she decided to go with her plan. "Brother, I am Bianca's friend. She stayed at my place last night. But she just left after she received a text from her boyfriend Sandro. I thought you should know" she said as if she is worried about Bianca. Bryan immediately became stiff. 'What?

He can only get rid of their suspicion if they believed that he is no longer the same man from the past. So he made it a point to greet Diego and offer his condolenses. "I am sorry for your loss" Bryan offered. Diego looked at him coldy without saying a word. Bryan simply turned and left with a grim expression. He didn't let his anger show until he was safely inside his car. "Idiot, why was he looking at me like i murdered his father? That old bastard died on his own. I don't have anything to do with it. He doesnt seems to believe me. But no problem. I will make them think that i changed" Byan thought. On the other hand, Bianca was seen in one of her friends house.

    "Mom, calm down. Nothing will happen to her" Bryan assured Stacy. Stacy looked at him uncertainty. By this point, Bianca left the Smith residence and her retreating figure dissappeared into the darkness. "Nothing will happen to her? Are you crazy? A lone woman in the dead of the night will become a target to bad people. How can you still say that nothing will happen to her?" Stacy demanded. Bryan received a call right at that moment from his friend Lance. "I am following after her" Lance confirmed. Bryan planned all this. He expected Bianca to go and find Sandro once she was kicked out of the house. So he put Lance behind her to follow her from a distance. "Good, keep me posted" Bryan replied before disconnecting the call. Stacy frowned when she heard the conversation. She looked confused. "Bryan, what is this all about?" she inquired. Bryan sighed heavily. He is tired, but still determined to deal with Sandro before the day fall. "That punk with whom Bianca foolis

Stacy demanded angrily. Bianca on the other hand was folded into herself in fetal position. She didn't utter a single word. She is scared and thats all she was feeling. She didn't think about Bryan. She didn't think about anyone but herself. When Stacy didn't get a reply from her daughter, she became even more upset. "Bianca, I am talking to you" she snapped at her.

    Bryan was waiting for Sandro to close his restaurant and come out. A hit and run would be very convenient way to get rid of Sandro. So Bryan taped up his number plates to cover his identity. Even if someone watches the car hitting Sandro, no one would be able to locate the driver without the number plate. So with that plan in mind, Bryan waited impatiently. But as minutes turned into an hour, Bryan started to suspect that something is amiss. 'Its well past midnight. What is he still doing in there? All of his employees left for the night. He should have locked it up long ago. Why didn't he? Did he suspect something?' Bryan started to wonder. Getting out of his car and showing his face would be a risky move at that moment, especially when he was planning to kill Sandro. So he decided to wait a little longer. An hour passed, yet Sandro didn't show up. 'Did that punk double cross me and already left?' Bryan realized with anger. He slammed his fist into the wheel with fury. He start
