Micah still did not give her an immediate answer. "It's too early to decide. When the time comes, you might regret it.""If there's no country, there’s no home. I’ve known you for a long time, and I understand your responsibilities. Micah, I’m ready to accept everything about you with no conditions. If I’m lying, may I never have peace!" Freya even raised her hand, ready to make an oath, desperate for him to believe her.Micah gently grabbed her hand, stopping her. "Don't make such vows lightly. I believe you. I know your heart is with me, and you're a good woman. But I'm not an ordinary man. My life belongs to the Yaren Tribe.""But you can’t give your whole life to the tribe. Even your father got married and had children. You can’t live your life alone. I can…"Before she could finish, Freya wrapped her arms around Micah. People passed by, but in that moment, all she could see was him. She only wanted Micah."I know. Let me think about it.""Okay." Freya beamed, feeling like sh
After investigating, all signs pointed to Remi. She had not given up after failing to achieve her goal at the wedding.But now that she had been caught, Nash was not going to let her get away with it. Remi was brought before him and Nina, bound hand and foot. Her eyes seethed with rage as she glared at Nina, lying in bed with an IV in her arm, wishing she could tear her to pieces."We’ve come this far, and you still haven’t given up," Nina said with a calm smile. "I know your feelings for Nash are real. Otherwise, why would you be so eager to become my son’s stepmother?"Remi had known Nash had a son, and it had not stopped her. She knew about the wedding, and still, she did not back down. If that wasn’t love, what was it?Nina exchanged a glance with Nash, signaling her intentions. However, Nash did not trust Remi enough to leave Nina alone with her.Nina chuckled softly. "She’s all tied up, and you’re right outside the door. Plus, you’ve got your men here. What could she possibl
Remi's gaze seemed to say, "What are you so smug about?"But Nina wasn’t feeling smug at all. She smiled and said, "Remi, you might not know this, but before me, there was another woman named Miranda. She came into Nash’s life even before I did."Miranda had appeared long before Nina and shared a special connection with Nash. She was even his lifesaver. Yet, in the end, it was Nina who ended up with him. Sometimes, fate had its own plans.Remi had never heard of Miranda. All she knew was Nina. Now, hearing Nina speak, she began to reevaluate her relationship with Nash. From the moment she saw Nash, she had been captivated by his stunning looks, his capability, and his air of pride. She had always gotten what she wanted, and the defeat she faced with Nash only fueled her desire to win."Nina, I'm sorry," Remi said, bowing her head in apology.In that moment, she truly understood and came to terms with everything.Nina did not want Remi to be trapped by her obsession, which was w
Dominic could easily find someone to take charge if he really wanted to. Nash was convinced this might all be a trap, but to his surprise, Remi came back.She looked anxious. "Nash, the situation in Salterra is really bad right now. The President called me and asked me to bring you back."I know you want to stay with your wife, but if it weren’t for the President saving you and taking care of you, how would you be standing here safely today?"Her words were not wrong. However, after Nash regained consciousness, he had been consistently helping manage Salterra's affairs. He had even considered giving himself just one final year to wrap things up. However, Nina recognized him and everything started spiraling out of control."Give me a moment," Nash finally said, unable to fully resolve the inner conflict he was feeling.Remi didn’t protest and waited quietly. She knew how strong the bond was between Nash and Nina. If Nash was going to leave, he had to say goodbye to his wife first.
Nash had responsibilities to his country, and to Dominic. Even though Dominic was not his biological father, Nash owed him his life and had to repay that debt.Nina had been upset, frustrated, and angry, but hearing Nash say this only made her heart ache more. She cupped his face in her hands, "I know you have a lot on your shoulders, which is why I want to be by your side this time. Nash, take me with you."I promise I won’t be a burden. If anything happens, I can help by reporting on it. We’re a team. We’re married and we have a child. Whatever comes our way, we should face it together."Nash saw the hope in Nina’s eyes. He remembered the promises he had made to her and the look on her face now. In the end, he could not refuse her.He pulled her close and kissed her, "Alright, you’ll come with me. Stay by my side, and no matter what happens, I’ll protect you."Even if it would cost him his life, he would never let anything happen to her.But before they could head to Salterra
Nash remained silent but his silence spoke volumes.Nina, enraged, punched him in the chest. "Nash, if you dare to keep thinking like this, I’ll kill you myself!"She was truly furious. She had endured agony and heartbreak for five years, holding on only because of their child. Nash had not died, but he had not contacted her either. Sure, at first, he was unconscious, but after that? Not a word. Whenever she thought of it, her anger flared up again. And now, he had the nerve to hold such thoughts!Micah glanced at Nash with a cold expression. "You deserve it! My sister suffered for all these years, and you still want her to suffer more? If you’re a real man, you’ll fix this mess!""I will," Nash replied firmly. He was determined to fulfill all the promises he had made to Nina.Micah gave him one last look. He had said what needed to be said. The rest was up to Nash.And so, Nash and Nina headed to Salterra together. Dominic had expected Nash to return alone but was surpri
"Alright," Dominic responded, watching Nash turn away. Although Nash said he would visit when he could, Dominic knew deep down that this might be the last time they would see each other.But Dominic could not let him leave just like that. He caught up to Nash, and even though Nash had refused earlier, Dominic still shoved the bank card into his hand."It's all in Birkham currency. This isn’t for you, it's for my grandson. I was too hard on him in the past."That was why Orion had not contacted him once since he left."Don't tell me Orion doesn't need it. You better save this money for him!" Dominic insisted firmly.Then, thinking of Nina, Dominic asked, "Can I have a moment alone with Nina? Don’t worry, with the current situation and all these people around, I couldn’t do anything to her even if I wanted to."Nash hesitated but eventually called Nina over to Dominic.Nina approached respectfully. "Father."Dominic, shocked, stared at her in disbelief. "I tried to kill you befor
This was Nina's only hope now. She and Nash longed for their family's acceptance and blessings.Dominic nodded in agreement. "You have my word. Now that we've come this far, I won’t trouble you and Nash anymore."He had once hoped Nash would take over his position and become the next president of Salterra. But Nash had no interest in such a role. He wanted a simple life. Dominic, burdened with guilt over his neglect of Nash's mother and the years of distance between them, could not bear to see his son trapped in a life of suffering."Thank you," Nina said, her gratitude making Dominic feel even more conflicted. Nina and Nash had been married for five years, living together through thick and thin. To them, they were meant to be. Yet Nina was still thanking him for something that should have been a given.The estrangement between him and Nash weighed heavily on Dominic’s heart, filling him with regret.Nash and Nina stayed in Salterra for a while, helping Dominic stabilize the s
