Micah picked up Orion and walked away with him.......Meanwhile, Nina and Nash's flight ran into trouble, forcing them to land and leaving them stranded at the airport. Everything was unfolding exactly as they had anticipated.Dominic had made his move.He arranged his men to capturer Nina and Nash. Everything was going according to their plan. After being forced off the plane and rerouted to Salterra, they finally came face-to-face with Dominic.Dominic tried to separate them, but Nash held Nina's hand tightly, refusing to let go. In the end, they were both brought before Dominic together."You claim to care about him so much, yet you're willing to ignore the poison still in his body?" Dominic said, his hands clasped behind his back, addressing Nina with cold disdain. He clearly did not like her and made no effort to hide it.A faint trace of sarcasm played on Nina's lips. "You were the one who sought him out in the first place. Instead of making amends, you poisoned him. On
Now, his image on the international stage has plummeted, with the forums filled with nothing but scorn for him. Especially since his face was clearly captured in the footage."It's you..." Dominic's eyes burned with rage. He had only one thought which was to kill Nina. She was the cause of all this chaos. Without her, Nash would never have defied him so repeatedly.But with everything being livestreamed, he could not act against her now.Facing Dominic's accusations, Nina stood her ground without fear or hesitation. "Yes, it was me. You've pushed us too far. We just want to live in peace, but you won’t allow it."Don't think we don’t know that you kept Orion close, refusing to fully heal him, just so you could use him to control Nash."Nash had not contacted her for five years. At first, it was because he was severely injured and in a coma. Later, he made his own decisions, wanting to wait until everything was settled so they could live peacefully as a family. But things did n
Nina knew one thing for sure. This time, Dominic would not come after them again. But while Dominic might let them go, Remi certainly wouldn’t.Remi rushed up to Nash, blocking their path. "Nash, you’re taking her away, but did you even ask me? I’m your fiancée. I won’t allow it!""That was arranged by Dominic, not by me. Nina is my wife. You should move on and find someone else." Nash’s tone was calm but firm as he rejected her.With that, he wrapped his arm around Nina and continued walking.Remi wanted to follow, but a sharp voice stopped her in her tracks, "Remi, stay where you are!"Remi had no choice but to stop in her tracks, but she knew that in this world, secrets never stay hidden. She was determined to have Nash, no matter what. She would not let this go unpunished. The humiliation she suffered because of him, especially in front of so many people, demanded retribution. She needed to get back at him and restore her pride. Remi would make sure of it and she was not
Though Freya was heartbroken, she still cared about Micah and chose to leave quietly. She knew that if he saw her lingering outside his door, he would be upset, and she did not want to cause him any distress. But she did not leave the matter entirely alone. Instead, she went to see Pharaoh. Noticing her red, swollen eyes, Pharaoh understood immediately. "If Micah bullied you, I can teach him a lesson," he offered. He was implying that if it was about anything else, it was out of his hands.Pharaoh had reached his current position through years of experience. He knew Freya had always been by Micah's side, and it was clear to him how she felt about Micah. But matters of the heart could not be forced, especially with someone as strong-willed as Micah.Freya had not expected Pharaoh to be so blunt. She took a deep breath and said softly, "Pharaoh, can't you help me? I really love him... He doesn't have anyone else in his life. I promise, I'll stay by his side and support him always."
Nina immediately realized what was happening and grabbed Nash's hand. "The poison in your body... it hasn’t been cured, has it?""I'm sorry..." Nash's voice was raspy and weak.Hearing this, Nina felt a sharp pain in her heart. "I don’t want to hear your apologies. We’re going back right now!" Nina grabbed Nash and started to pull him back. She had believed that her father had already cured Nash of the poison, especially since Nash had shown no signs of weakness. She had assumed everything was fine. But now, realizing Nash had been pretending all along, she felt a deep pain in her heart.Just as she was about to head back, Nash held her tightly and shook his head. He knew exactly what she was thinking. She wanted to return to his father for help. But if Dominic had been willing to give the antidote, he would not have let them go in the first place, not without saying a word."He won’t give it up easily. He probably wants to negotiate with us, but we—""I don’t want to negotiat
On their way back to the Yaren Tribe, Nina and Nash rented a car and sat together in the back seat. Nina kept a close watch on Nash’s condition, and fortunately, he seemed stable. However, they were suddenly stopped halfway through their journey.Nash's first instinct was to suspect Dominic's involvement.He pressed Nina down gently and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll get out and check. If things go south, have the driver keep going without stopping. Stick to our plan, but you need to stay in the tribe."If Dominic was truly determined to ignore the international scrutiny, Nash would stay behind. As long as Nina and Orion were safe, that would be enough for him.But Nina shook her head firmly. "You promised me, no matter what happens, you’d stay by my side. Now you want me to go on without you? Not a chance. Don’t go back on your word, Nash."Just as she finished speaking, a car pulled in front of them, followed by several others that kept their distance but stayed close enough to
Dominic ended the call abruptly, leaving Nash listening to the busy tone. Nash realized that Dominic was indeed someone who cared deeply about his reputation.He put away his phone and pulled Nina close. "Let’s head back and make sure this medicine is legitimate."If it was, and he was free from the poison’s hold, he could finally take Nina and Orion back to Birkham and live the life Nina had always wanted.……Meanwhile, back with Orion, he had developed a high fever. The sudden onset left Pharaoh scrambling. After a thorough examination, Pharaoh sighed in relief upon confirming that it was just a common cold and not a rejection or something more serious. However, when physical cooling methods did not bring the fever down, Pharaoh resorted to giving Orion an IV, staying by his side the entire time without a moment's rest.As Orion’s condition stabilized, even Micah, who was concerned, took it upon himself to cook chicken broth for the boy. Freya, seeing Micah busy in the kit
Micah gave her a cold, dismissive glance. "Do I owe you an explanation?"Freya's heart clenched painfully. She had no claim on Micah, no right to demand anything from him. The realization hurt deeply, but there was nothing she could do. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at him, her voice trembling. "I know I don’t have the right to ask you this, but... I really want to be with you. If you... If it's true, I could help you. We could pretend to be married. I could help you keep up appearances."She clung to the belief that spending time together could eventually lead to real feelings. She was convinced that if given enough time, she could win his heart.But Micah’s expression remained cold, a hint of disdain curling his lips. "You’re giving yourself too much credit."He brushed past her without another glance, treating her as if she were invisible. Freya stood there, unable to help him with anything. All she could do was watch as he finished everything himself.Micah broug
