As she fell into Nash's arms, Nina felt her eyes burn with unshed tears. "Let go of me!" she pushed him away, her eyes locked onto his. "I don't need your sympathy.""Nina..." Nash called her name helplessly.Nina took a step back, her bitter smile unwavering. "Don’t look at me with pity. We have no ties after the divorce. Take your people and go.""I can’t just leave you," Nash stepped forward. "Things aren't what you think.""Don’t come any closer! That’s enough!" Nina shouted hysterically. "Nash, I hate you! You hid everything from me, left me in the dark, and now Scott has to risk his life to save me. If anything happens to him, I’ll hate you forever!"Nash's expression grew complicated. "Would you really treat me like this for Scott?"Nina retorted, "Scott is a hundred times better than you! He’s willing to risk his life for me. Would you do that? You chose someone else when I was at my lowest!""Is that how you see me?" Nash’s voice was tinged with sorrow.Nina sneered.
While keeping Miranda in check, they also had to search for a cure."It’s not like what Ma'am said. It's not just Scott risking himself for her. You are too..." James felt a deep sense of injustice. Nina could not see all that Nash was doing for her. It felt so unfair.Mentioning this, Nash's brows furrowed slightly. "I didn’t expect Scott to find out."He certainly did not expect him to venture into such a dangerous place alone."We'll find another way," Felix said. "Right now, Ma'am needs reassurance."Nash gave a bitter smile. "Didn’t you see? She hates me now. Going back will only make her more upset."He took off his soaked jacket and headed upstairs to change clothes. James and Felix followed, sensing his sadness and frustration. They had rarely seen him this dejected. Even a strong man could be vulnerable in matters of the heart."Solving the core issue is what matters most," Nash said softly. Despite Nina's anger and resentment, he knew what he wanted. He needed to f
Nash said, "She doesn’t need me anymore.""So, there’s a rift in their relationship? No wonder he came back soaked. Even the strongest bonds can be irreparably damaged once a crack appears," Miranda thought to herself.Miranda felt a spark of joy in her heart. She looked at Nash and said, "Nash, I will always need you. I will never abandon you. Believe me, I love you the most. If Nina truly loved you, she wouldn’t treat you this way."As she spoke, she leaned into Nash's chest, her entire being filled with joy.---Upon learning about her poisoning, Nina went to the hospital for a check-up. She wanted to know how long she had left to live and whether she could survive until her baby was born. But the doctor told her there was nothing wrong with her body.Could the poison be undetectable by the hospital?Nina's mind was heavy with worry, facing numerous difficult decisions. What if she died before the baby was born? What if she died after the baby was born? She had to ensur
The script called for a romance between an older woman and a younger man, creating strong chemistry between Penelope and Ivan."Nina."Ivan, bare-chested, approached. His physique, a result of long-term training, combined with his height, made him stand out. If this drama became a hit, he was destined to be the next big star. After every scene, he was polite, bowing to the crew and thanking them for their hard work. Then, he would come to Nina to review his scenes on the camera."Did I not capture that scene well?" he asked, referring to a pool scene with Penelope.Ivan's performance had been a bit raw.Nina reassured him, "No, your character is supposed to be young and inexperienced with relationships. Your performance fits perfectly.""That's good to hear."Ivan was dedicated and serious. Penelope, dressed in a swimsuit, wiped herself with a towel and joined them to review her scene."There's no problem," she said, patting Ivan's shoulder. "Don't worry.""Thank you, Penelo
Her face lit up with joy as she quickly answered the call, "Scott!"But the voice on the other end was speaking in a language she did not understand.Nina’s expression froze. "What are you saying? You’re not Scott?"The voice on the other end was male, and the background noise was chaotic, making it impossible to understand.Nina began to panic. Why wasn't Scott answering his phone?"Don't hang up, I need to find someone who can translate..." she said urgently, but before she could find help, the call disconnected.She tried calling back, but the phone was turned off, leaving Nina even more anxious. The phone was not with Scott, which meant he might be in danger.Her heart raced with fear and uncertainty."Nina," Penelope called out, noticing her distress. "What happened?"Nina looked at Penelope, not knowing what to do. "Scott is in danger.""Scott?" Penelope thought quickly. "He’s still missing. Was that call about him?""The person on the other end was a stranger, speakin
"This kind of news still exists? It's like we've gone back decades. It's terrifying!""We should avoid isolated places. Even if it’s not this case, there are still rapes and murders. It's always right to cherish your life and protect yourself!"Nina overheard their conversation and felt uneasy. With everything happening to her, it seemed like trouble was brewing. Organ harvesting... it sounded like organ trafficking. Had things gotten that out of control?She clenched her fists, pushing aside her fear and feeling a surge of defiance. She could not help but think about that organization.After the night shoot, Nina prepared to go home. Penelope reminded her to be careful and avoid deserted places. Nina left with Angel, but they parted ways at a certain point. Even though it was night, the streets were still crowded. However, she felt like someone was following her. They said these crimes happened in isolated places, but would someone dare to act in such a public area with so m
Scarlett did not say anything but followed Nina inside. As soon as she stepped through the door, she felt the warmth and took in the surroundings. A faint fragrance filled the air. The interior was thoughtfully decorated, suggesting that Nina was someone who loved life. Even in a small space, she lived with elegance and positivity.Seeing Nina making tea, Scarlett felt a pang of envy. They had shared a similar fate, yet Nina had broken free and was living a fulfilling life. Scarlett longed for such a normal life."Have a seat," Nina said politely, noticing Scarlett standing by the door.Scarlett nodded and walked over to the sofa. Nina placed a cup of freshly brewed tea on the table beside her. Scarlett lifted the cup, feeling the warmth, and watched the clear tea with a few floating petals. It had been a long time since she had experienced such simple pleasures. Despite her love for beauty and caring for her appearance, her life had been rough and unsophisticated.She took a
Nina's face turned pale. "I don't know which one you were, but the fact that you managed to escape means you're not ordinary!" Scarlett said. "Wilfred is risking everything to protect you so you absolutely cannot die. This is his wish, and I'll make sure it happens."Nina clenched her fists, her eyes filled with complex emotions before they turned cold again. "Is that why you came here today? Just to tell me this?""My point is, you need to be careful. You're pregnant now, so you need to take extra precautions.""Are you done? Do you think I'll thank you for this?" Nina's icy words made Scarlett blink in surprise. She had not expected this reaction.Nina stared at Scarlett with a cold smile. "Anyone can say nice things, but don't forget who poisoned me. Do you think I trust you?"I’ve had enough of you and Wilfred! Even if we were together in the past, what does that prove? My hands have never been stained with blood, but yours are! We are not the same, and I will never be grate
