"Nina? What happened to you? Why is your arm bandaged?" Agatha asked worriedly.

Nina gave her a sad smile. Out of everyone whom she thought were her family, none of them bothered about her injuries. Theo ignored her injuries thinking that she was faking them. Her father was more worried about what he could gain from her rather than her well being. But Agatha, Whom Nina met her by chance became a mother to her. She is genuinely worried about her.

'Sad that I might not be able to meet her often after my divorce with Theo' she thought sadly.

"It's nothing mom, just a few scraps. I am fine now" Nina down played it.

Theo on the other hand felt a hint of guilt. Neel inquired about the extent of Nina's injuries and found out that she was in a coma for three days and her condition was deemed critical until the day she woke up. He is feeling bad for abandoning her like that, especially after the clarity given by his mother.

    "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. But don't worry, we often spend wild nights together. I should have been pregnant with his baby a while ago. But Theo doesn't want to involve our baby in this when he is yet to divorce you. But I have to tell you, he is wild in bed and insatiable. I will be so exhausted the next morning, that he cooks breakfast in bed for me. He is so sweet" Chelsea drew with an intention to make Nina angry. Nina's heart which was already in pain started to bleed at Chelsea's shameless re

Liam is the charming one. He can make any woman fall for his charms. Jeremiah looks easy to get along with, while Liam has an edge. But Theo is aloof and unapproachable.

    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

    "What do you mean by hiring a cab?" Theo asked with displeasure when Nina refused to come with him and instead decided to hire a cab. She agreed to come with him in front of his mother. After coming outside, she doesn't want to come with him. He understood that she was still upset by his behaviour when she got into an accident. He knows that he made a mistake. He thought she would revert back to her old self sooner. But as the days tick by, she is only going away from him. "It means that I don't want to travel in one car with you. I prefer taking a cab. If you have time today, we can go and finalize our divorce agreement in the Civil affairs bureau. It's useless to drag a dead relationship. We can hide this from mom untill she recovers. No one except my family and mom knows that I am your wife. So it wouldn't be an issue" she spoke coldly. Just then, her cab came and she left him standing infront of his House, reeling with complex emotions. It was true that he initiated the divor

But the new investor insisted on meeting Nina before signing the contract. Nina was in such a rush that she didn't see where she was going. Hastily she rounded a corner and bumped into someone.

    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

  • Billionaire husband's pursuit for his wife   Tricky call

    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.
