Theo caught Nina by her elbow and pulled her inside his cabin. He roughly pushed her onto the couch inside his cabin with barely restrained anger.

"What are you up to now? 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 who always storms to the Morrison villa and yells at me at the top of your lungs about things which I didn't do and don't know about. You never believed me when I tried to explain that I am innocent. And I am tired of living my life like that. Today I came to Your company to hand over the divorce papers to you personally. If you are free, we can go to the civil office bureau to file for our divorce. I am done with you. Let's end this marriage once and for all" she spoke calmly, but firmly.

Theo is stunned to hear this. What stunned him even more is the look in her eyes. It's empty and detached, which is so unlike her. He has always seen affection in her eyes when she used to look at him. And she never spoke to him like this in the one year they have been together.

Even Neel, Theo's assistant was dumb stuck. He never saw this side of Mrs. Morrison. Usually Ms. Chelsea comes crying to Mr. Morrison and complaint against Mrs. Morrison said that Mrs. Morrison slapped her in front of everyone in the mall, or hired someone to kidnap Ms. Chelsea or something similar. Mr. Morrison usually believes Ms. Chelsea and scolded his wife. But no matter what Ms. Chelsea says about Mrs. Morrison, Neel never saw Mrs. Morrison acting brashly. He used to think that Mrs. Morrison is good at pretending to be nice. Because Ms. Chelsea made everyone turn against Nina. Now, Neel is stunned to see this side of Nina.

Theo snorted sarcastically once he recovered from initial shock.

"If this is your new trick to fool me, you almost got me this time. Now if you are done, get lost and never come back" he sneered.

Nina gave him a cold stare.

"Theodore Morrison, you might be a good son and an excellent businessman. But you are an idiot who blindly believes everyone. You are as stupid as you are smart. If you think that this is a trick, then think again. When did I ever come to Your company to any kind of tricks? I am busy tomorrow. Let me know when you are ready to file our divorce. The sooner, the better " she insulted him coldly.

Theo is extremely angry at the way she insulted him.

"You..." he opened his mouth to scold her, but she ignored him and walked past him with her head held high. As he dragged her roughly just now, her wounds near her elbow and her calf started bleeding. Her blood soaked the white gauze that was wrapped around her injuries. The scent of blood became thick in his office.

That's when Theo noticed her bloody gauze.

"You are bleeding" he stopped her by holding her wrist gently.

Nina glared at him angrily and snatched her hand back.

"Don't touch me" she snapped before she turned and left.

Theo is stunned.

"Neel, do you know when she got injured?" Theo inquired.

Neel hesitated for a moment. He knows when Mrs. Morrison got injured. But he is surprised that his boss forgot about it.

"What?" Theo snapped when Neel immediately replied.

Neel immediately reminded his boss.

"Boss, we received a call from the hospital that Mrs. Morrison got into an accident a week ago. They also said that her condition is critical. I informed you. But you were busy with work and brushed it off as her another trick to grab your attention. Looks like Mrs. Morrison really got into an accident" he said, feeling bad for Nina.

Theo remembered getting a call. But he is used to her tactics. Previously he rushed home a couple of times when he received texts from her saying that she is committing suicide. But he found her happily chatting with their house keeper. So this time he thought she is playing tricks again and ignored the call.

In the debths of his heart, he felt guilty.

'No wonder she is angry ' he thought.

As soon as Nina left the Morrison group, Chelsea came. She saw the retreating back of Nina with stunned silence.

'What is she doing here? She is not supposed to come here. Theo hates her too much. She never dared to come here in the past. Then what changed now?' she thought as Jealousy and insecurity started to make her feel uncomfortable.

She quickly walked inside the Company, while the employees greeted her politely. Everyone recognise her in the Morrison group, while no one recognised Nina.

Chelsea directly went to the top floor to meet Theo.

    "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.

    Nina is wasted. She could hardly stand on her own. "If you ever dared to even look at my wife the wrong way, you are going to regret it" Theo fumed and pushed the man away. Nina is swaying on her feet unsteadily. Theo walked towards her and lifted her in his arms with a displeased frown. "You, let me go" Nina demanded and pointed her finger which is intended to poke at Theo, but she poked everywhere around him but not him. "You are wasted. How much did you drink?" he muttered with a frown. Nina giggled at his question. "I drank this many" she showed how much by moving both her palms as far as she could. Theo gritted his teeth. "I can see that. May I know why?" he asked sarcastically. Nina giggled again. "We are celebrating her victory" Ella supplied helpfully. Theo's frown deepened. 'Are they talking about me? Is she considering a victory not to contact me for a whole week?' he suspected. "What kind of Victory miss?" Jeremiah asked curiously. Ella looked

    The next morning, Nina woke up with a banging hangover. "Ahh.. why did I drink so much?" she mumbled without opening her eyes. She massaged her head slowly. "Here, drink this. It will feel better" Theo's voice drifted into her ears. Nina's eyes flickered open and landed on Theo's imposing figure. She looked at her surroundings and realised that she is in Pearl garden, the Morrison's family home. "What am I doing here?" she doesn't remember how she ended up there. Belated she noticed that she is wearing his clothes. If she would have woken up to the same situation before a few months ago, then she would have been ecstatic. But now, she is feeling as if her old wounds are reopening again. She looked at him coldly. She remembered bits and pieces of what happened the previous night. She masked her emotions and looked at him coldly. "Thank you for helping me last night, Mr. Morrison, I will get out of your hair now" she spoke with detachment. Theo still is not used to

    Theo all but ran inside his home while Ryan searched for the goons whom Chelsea hired to kill Nina. Theo found Nina and Rosa lying in the backyard, unconscious. What happened after that is a blur. The ambulance arrived right after Theo and Ryan and carried Nina and Rosa to a nearby hospital. Rosa inhaled too much Carbon monoxide than Nina, as the concentration of the gas downstairs was more than it was upstairs. When Agatha learned about this accident, she rushed from Paris to be with Nina. Silas on the other hand lost his life. He was taken to a hospital nearby soon after he collapsed. But the poison Chelsea used was meant to kill Silas, and so it did. Silas's death hit his parents and the Rossi family hard. Barbara collapsed on the ground when she heard about this. And the Rossi family rushed to the hospital to see Silas. "Silas, my son. What happened to you?" Barbara cried her eyes out. Silas's body is now turned dark due to the poison. He was almost unrecognisable. But stil

    "You did all this?" Chelsea blamed Theo. Theo stood there, looking at her coldly. She was once his good friend, but now, she turned into his most hated enemy. "What did you expect? You come after my family and try to kill them and I would keep quiet and let you hurt them more? You are delusional if you think that way" Theo spoke coldly. Chelsea looked at him with a sneer. A slow smile spread over her lips. It looked crazy and happy. It puts everyone out there on edge. The lady officers tightened their hold on Chelsea. But Chelsea started to laugh louder, to their shock. Just then, Silas fell down to his knees while foaming through his mouth. A gargling sound came from his throat and gradually he started to turn purple. "What is happening to him?" one of the officers cried out in alarm. But Theo was looking at Chelsea who looked very proud of herself. Theo particularly never liked Silas to begin with. So he is not worried about Silas now either. "He is dying. That fool didn't

    Chelsea navigated her way to the address Silas sent her. As she came closer and closer to her destination, she felt like she was hit by a feeling of Deja vu. And when she stopped right in front of Ryan's house, she understood why. She still remembered this house. This is where they killed Stella. Immediately she dialled Silas's number, to confirm if this is the right address. He immediately answered the call. "Why did you ask me to come here again?" she demanded angrily. Silas sighed. "Then where do you wanted to meet. Cops and Theo are searching for us all over Neopolis. This is the only place I found where we will not be found. Come to the basement through the backdoor. We can talk there" with those words, Silas disconnected the call. Chelsea is irritated. 'I shouldn't have agreed to meet him in the first place' she thought with annoyance. But she heard the sirens of the cops from nearby, she immediately rushed towards the backdoor and ran to the basement. Once in the baseme

    In the basement, Ryan decided to use Silas to catch Chelsea. Ryan noticed that Silas received many calls from Chelsea while his mobile was turned off. So he decided to use Silas to lure Chelsea into their trap. Ryan met with Dr. Seth, who confessed that it was Chelsea who bribed him to do her dirty deeds. His confession was recorded to take Chelsea into custody. Based on Dr. Seth's statement alone they can file criminal charges against Chelsea. And not to mention that Silas is ready to co-operate with them and that's another minus point to Chelsea here. Ryan has already stationed a few officers near the Dankworth mansion and a couple were deployed to search the Rossi home to check if Chelsea was still there. But based on the statement of Mr. Rossi and his family, Chelsea left a while ago. She was neither in the Dankworth mansion or in the Rossi home where Francis sent her. So Ryan decided to take quick action against Chelsea, as it is not safe for Nina or Agatha if she was not

    "Francis" Theo greeted Francis coldly. Francis moved aside to let them inside. The Dankworth family head is having a hard time to hold back his fear. Theo ruined him thoroughly even before he learned about what Chelsea did in the past to harm his mother and wife. Now, looking at the officers in their uniforms, Francis is scared to death to imagine what Theo would do now. Except for his life, Francis has nothing left to lose. "You are no fool. You might have already guessed why I am here today" Theo spoke with cold fury. Usually, Theo used to respect Francis in the past. But the events recently made Theo treat Francis like a stranger and not his mentor whom he used to respect. Francis looked dishelved and tired. He is ruined completely, and the credit goes to his daughter. "I do" he replied with resignation, imagining his fate. Theo lifted his chin with indifference. He noticed that the man who was always arrogant and proud is now looking like just an ordinary man. He lost ever

    Chelsea had no money and she had nowhere to go. She tried calling Silas and asked him for help, but his mobile was switched off. Francis refused to allow her inside the Dankworth mansion, so she was left on the streets without any place to go to. She wandered here and there for a few hours, when she no longer could bear that, she sucked her pride in and decided to ask Amber for help. Chelsea realised that requesting Amber is better than wandering on the streets where she could be attacked and taken advantage of by anyone. So after half an hour, Chelsea found herself standing outside the Rossi home. 'This is just temporary. Once dad recovers from his losses, I will teach all these people a lesson for humiliating me like this. I will make their lives miserable, starting with this Amber who dared to demand that I apologise to her' Chelsea thought with anger. She sucked a deep breath before ringing the doorbell. A maid answered the door who immediately recognised Chelsea. She was esco

    "Mr. Morrison, do you remember Dr. Seth?" Ryan asked Theo over the phone. After Ryan left the basement, he decided to share everything he learned from Silas. He inquired and found out out that Dr. Seth is in prison and it's Theo who put him there. Theo gritted his teeth when he heard that doctors name. He almost killed Agatha for his selfish reasons. "Yes, what about him?" Theo inquired sharply. Theo would have killed that doctor if homicide is legal. Ryan took a deep breath. "Silas mentioned a few disturbing things about Chelsea Dankworth. He is claiming that it's Chelsea who is the person behind your mother's accident a year ago. And after that, it's Chelsea who bribed that doctor to keep Madam Agatha in a Coma until she is passed away. Silas confessed that we could confirm all this of we speak with that doctor" Ryan shared everything, much to Theo's shock. He couldn't believe what he just heard. He clearly remember the day when his mother tumbled down the stairs and Nina was
