Nina’s biological father, Pharaoh of the Yaren tribe, was exposed. The previous chaos within the Yaren tribe, his subordinates’ acts of looting, the establishment of slave camps, and the use of live humans for experiments were all revealed. Nina was labeled the "Daughter of the Devil," causing an uproar on international forums."Who would have thought that this kind-hearted journalist advocating for peace is actually the devil’s daughter? Look at her father’s evil deeds!""It’s only because of Birkham’s tolerance for the sake of peace that they haven't pursued the Yaren tribe.""Exactly! Otherwise, the Yaren tribe would have been wiped out long ago!""Nina’s actions are laughable. Her father is a monster, yet she wants to be a justice warrior.""She must have been planted in Birkham by Pharaoh as a spy!""She was married to Nash, and he later died in the Yaren tribe. She must have caused his death!""Death to the spy! She doesn’t deserve to be a journalist or to pretend to be
Nina also realized that with Micah still here, those people might come looking for trouble with him. She pressed her lips together, her expression serious, "Micah, you should leave.""Do you think I can just leave you here alone?" Micah held Nina's hand. He could not abandon her. Besides, given the current relationship between the Yaren tribe and Birkham, Birkham would not detain him.Especially since Nash’s death had been officially reported and investigated.Nina was at a loss for words.She was not a spy, but Birkham needed to provide the public with an explanation. She would need to undergo an investigation, including a review of her recent call records.As Nina was about to be taken away, Orion clung to her hand, refusing to let go. Nina knelt down and patiently explained to him, "Orion, stay with Uncle Micah. I just need to handle some things with these people. You have to be good."After speaking to Orion, she looked up at Micah, her eyes filled with hope. She did not
Eventually, the bag covering Nina's head was removed. She saw the car's interior light up with a warm orange glow, revealing several men holding guns. The man sitting next to her had some white hairs at his temples. The lighting was dim on his side, so she could not make out his face clearly.The man smirked, "Why do you think we captured you to exchange for Seth?"Nina remained silent, deep in thought. If they did not want to trade her for Seth, what was their goal? Or maybe her reports had affected the interests of the allied forces? Were they planning to use her as a bargaining chip with the Yaren tribe? Nina's breath quickened. She had not revealed her connection to Micah or Pharaoh. She had mentioned those names hoping it would make these people reconsider and release her. Clearly, it had not worked. She could not afford to become a burden to them."If that's not it, then just kill me." Nina leaned back against the seat, resigned. With Nash's survival a secret, she coul
Nash did not want to involve her, but since it concerned her directly, she had the right to know the truth. He knew how stubborn she could be, especially when she was angry. After a moment of silence, Nash spoke slowly, "These people are from my father's side. Sally isn't my biological mother, and William isn't my biological father. My real father is the president of Salterra. When I fell into the river that runs through the Yaren tribe, it was my father who saved me. I spent a long time recovering, and later he arranged many things for me. Nina, I made a deal with him back then. There were things I had to agree to."Nina could guess some of the complications that had kept Nash from contacting her, but hearing it from him still hurt. She wanted to reach out and hold him, but she held back, thinking about their child. "What about the child, Nash? I'm not a child myself. I can handle the truth. Is our child alive or not?"Tears welled up in her eyes as she gripped Nash's hand. St
Nina pushed Nash away. "Go do what you need to do. As long as my child is alive…""Are you saying you don't want me anymore?"Nash could not bear to hear the rest of her words. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Nina, his gaze intense and full of emotion. The redness in his eyes spread, and layers of sorrow seemed to rise within him.He knew that after being away for five years and suddenly reappearing, she would be angry and blame him. But he had no way to fight fate, no way to appear before her as the broken man he had been.Nina felt a surge of emotion, her blood rushing to her head. She looked at Nash, noting the scar on his forehead and the strands of white hair. Her heart ached intensely.She reached out to touch his face. "You have your position and your obligations. Nash, I can't stop you, and I can't help you. All I want now is my child."She was desperate to return to Orion, to make up for the five years she had missed as his mother.Nash's heart was in agony. He would r
Nina frowned but remained silent.Eugene continued, "I won't hurt you. I have some things I need to tell you."Nina looked at him, waiting for him to speak.After a moment of silence, Eugene began, "Mr. Nash was saved by the President and remained in a coma for over three years. The bullet was very close to his heart, and he had multiple fractures and severe injuries all over his body. During his recovery, without the use of anesthesia to avoid side effects, he underwent countless surgeries and therapy sessions. In his moments of pain, he always called your name. He cares about you deeply. Now, he's even willing to defy the President for your sake. The President has a Reset Plan—""Eugene!" Eugene was abruptly interrupted by Nash's angry shout from outside the room. He immediately stood at attention, responding instinctively.Nash's men were trained to react this way. Despite the interruption, Eugene's words echoed in Nina's mind. She had suspected Nash had reasons for his actio
This was the real Nash!No matter how angry Nina had been before, she loved Nash deeply and could not bear to see him die in front of her. Besides, his men had already explained everything to her. He had explained it himself, and she could understand his situation and feel his pain.Nina held Nash even tighter. "Nash, you have your reasons. Honestly, I’m grateful your father saved you."If it weren’t for his father, Nash might have died in that icy river. She would never have seen him again or been able to hold him like this.Most parents would want their children to succeed, and his father was the president. Their positions were different, especially now that she had been exposed as Pharaoh’s daughter and labeled the "daughter of a demon.""Nash, can I take Orion back to Birkham?" Nina decided not to dwell on their issues because thinking about them would only bring pain and suffocation. Orion was her child, and she wanted to take him out of the war zone and give him the best
Dominic could not believe that Nash was actually throwing words at him here right now!He did not need anyone to point fingers at what he was doing.Nash's expression darkened as well. He pulled Nina behind him and said, "If you don't want to listen, then handle your own matters yourself. Don’t drag others into it."This could also be understood as he was stepping down as the Third Prince.And all of this was because of Nash's stance, particularly because of his relationship with Nina.Dominic pulled out his gun. As he cocked the trigger, Nash stood in front of Nina. Nash was ready to face death.Dominic was ruthless, but Nash had recovered and was still his most valued child. He could not just shoot Nash dead."It seems like you’re determined to be with her, even if it kills you. Fine, if she wants to be your wife, then she has to fulfill the duties of a wife. Being the wife of the Third Prince of Salterra isn’t that easy!" Dominic glared at Nina, his words cold and sharp.Nin
