Nicholas' POVHe returned my handshake and nodded his head, saying, "Indeed, I am.""Please, have a seat," I urged as I noticed his momentary hesitation. This wasn't what I had imagined. I had heard about how powerful of a man he was, but his current demeanor was different from the mental image I had formed. Perhaps it was because of his daughter.Tension lingered in the air as our gazes met. Eventually, he cleared his throat and began to speak."Thank you for safeguarding my daughter, Mr. Nicholas. I was…""Apologies, you can just call me Nicholas," I interjected, immediately regretting the interruption. He maintained a calm expression, showing no signs of anger."I heard about everything that transpired—how Juarez, a rival of mine, attempted to kill my daughter," his eyes darkened, and a grim expression settled on his face."Juarez isn't entirely despicable. You must have seriously offended him for him to resort to such a drastic action," I defended Juarez, despite disliking the met

Nicholas' POVHer eyes grew dark, and her expression turned frigid as she fixed her gaze upon him. With an abrupt motion, she rose from her seat and redirected her attention towards me, a sinister glint evident in her eyes."How could you? How could you bring this man into this home, after everything he has done?" Her voice, sharp and laden with a blend of anger and bitterness, reverberated through the room.I was utterly confused. I had thought it would be a pleasant surprise for her, not having seen him all her life. I believed she needed to hear his side of the story regarding why everything happened the way it did."Calm down, Laura. He has some things to tell you; please, hear him out," I urged."I don't want to hear anything he has to say!" She interjected, her eyes shooting daggers at me. She spun around to face her father, whose eyes had turned red."I never want to see you again in my entire life. Make sure you don't show your face around me ever again!" A tear ran down her c

Laura's POVWhat had he just said? Did I hear him correctly? Did he just imply that I was the one acting like a child? I was seething with anger!"Excuse me! Who are you referring to as a child?" I snapped."Oh, come on, Laura! That's enough. I didn't call you a child; I said you were acting like one," he replied, moving to the sofa and taking a seat."What's the difference?" I questioned, glaring at him. I was itching for a confrontation. After what he had done to me, I needed to vent my frustration."Laura!""Nicholas!" I shot back."Why are you getting so worked up?" His brows furrowed as he stood up, towering over me with his height.I wasn't the least bit intimidated by him; if anything, it only fueled my anger."What was the meaning of what you did downstairs, huh?"I wanted to slap him; my blood was boiling."How dare you, Nicholas? How dare you bring my father here without my consent, after all he did?""What did he actually do? Leave you and your mom shortly after you were bo

Laura's POVI casually turned around to face him, maintaining my composure. I glanced at the lady accompanying him and offered a friendly smile."Hello there, I am Laura," I introduced myself before Nicholas had a chance to.The lady ignored me and redirected her attention to Nicholas, inquiring, "Who is she?"Nicholas assessed me from head to toe before meeting my gaze and replied, "She is Laura, a friend of mine.""Oh, I see," she remarked, gazing at me with a cynical smile. "Nice to meet you, my dear. I'm Rachel." I wished she had extended her hand for a greeting; then, I would have reciprocated and mirrored her indifference.She casually leaned her head on Nicholas' shoulder and slipped her arm through his. Throughout this, Nicholas stared at me with a hint of anger in his eyes.He then proceeded to walk past me, ascending the stairs towards his room. I heard the door close before I retreated to my own room. I was torn, my heart aching. I had no idea he would follow through with i

Laura's POVI locked eyes with him as I kept walking down the staircase. His brows were furrowed, and his lips curled up in anger."I am wearing a dress, Nicholas," I replied calmly. Staring into space, I said, "I remember saying we were going to the club, correct?""I said we were going to the club; I never said you should dress like a slut." I was infuriated at his words but decided to keep my cool. I already had everything planned out; I wasn't going to let anything interfere with my plans.He dared to imply I was a slut? Well, that's fine; I'd just have to add it to the list of things he has been doing."This is a game you started, Nicholas. It's a good thing; two can play.""Well, this is what I feel comfortable wearing," I said, averting my gaze from his and forcing a smile. "Shall we?"He came close to me, barely inches away. He breathed heavily on my skin; his breath was hot. "You better not try anything silly at the club, do you hear me?" he asked, anger evident in his voice.

Nicholas' POVHe stood there, eyeing me with a look of fear in his eyes. The temptation to give him a slap, just to jog his memory, was overwhelming. Perhaps he had forgotten that I had just posed a question to him."Neato!" I snapped."Yes... s-s-s boss..." he stammered."Where on earth is Laura?" I inquired, my voice strained with anger and frustration. I was making every effort to keep my composure, especially considering that I was in the company of a highly important business partner."She mentioned her intention to leave the lounge, and I strongly urged her to stay," he said, seeking affirmation from his colleague.He turned his gaze back to me, visibly nervous, and continued, "Then, she insisted on using the restroom. At that point, it became impossible to refuse, so...""So, what's the point, Naeto? Quit dragging this out and get to the point!" I snapped."So, we escorted her to the women's restroom and waited outside. After about ten minutes, we realized she wasn't in there a

Nicholas' POVHere she was, asking what I did when she was the reason everything happened. She looked fierce and angry, likely having overheard my conversation with Carlos."What did you do, Nicholas?" she snapped. Realizing it was more serious than I had initially thought, I motioned to Carlos to give us some privacy. After he left, I took a few steps toward her."You want to know what I did?" I asked, gazing into her eyes which had darkened with anger. "I killed a man. I killed a man because of you, Laura. That's what I did."Her brows furrowed, and her face flushed red. "How dare you? How dare you take a life and then dare to blame it on me?" she exclaimed."Don't ever ask me such a question again! Who the hell do you think you are to question me?" I retorted. How did it all come to this? When did I stoop to such a level, allowing a mere lady to raise her voice at me and dictate what I should or should not do? What insolence! Nicholas, just look at what you've become, I thought.I

Nicholas' POV"Boss, there's been a shooting at our bar. We've lost two men," came the urgent report. I stood up abruptly, trying to process what I had just heard. Two of my men had been shot?"Josh, you wasted no time," I gritted my teeth in anger. He had acted swiftly, not even waiting for a few more days or weeks. He had struck within 24 hours? That wasn't his usual method."I'll be there soon," I said into the phone before ending the call. I glanced over at Laura's concerned face. She could tell that something was amiss."What's the problem, Nicholas?" she inquired."Nothing much, it's just a work-related issue," I lied. I didn't want her to know what had just occurred. How could I tell her that two men had lost their lives as a result of last night's events? The news would devastate her, and she'd blame herself for their deaths. I couldn't allow that; I couldn't let anything harm her fragile heart.I was the one who took that man's life, and I had to bear the consequences of my a
