Adira found it extremely boring staying alone in the hotel. She couldn't make it to the office as she wasn't in the right frame of mind to work, and she didn't have any friends to call over either. She felt so depressed, alone and exhausted.

She had thrown up twice that morning, and her head wouldn't stop banging. The pregnancy symptoms were getting serious.

When it was evening, she tried calling Lancelot, but like the first time, his line was switched off. Did the bastard intentionally dump his phone just to ignore her? Well, he should keep doing that for as long as he could, because she was never going to stop trying.

She was too enraged, she decided to go over to his house and meet him instead. Perhaps, if she could get him to talk while secretly putting it on record, it could serve as an evidence that he had really set her up. That way, she'd be able to get Nikolai back and also get the bastard arrested.

    Vesper walked back to her, a scrowl on his face."What nonsense are you spewing, Adira?"He asked hoarsely. "From what Na-ri said, you're the reason he got drunk and drove out in that state. So, why the fúck are you trying to point accusing fingers at me?"Adira rose to her feet, still maintaining a calm look."You shouldn't get so worked up. I'm just asking because, you seem to be the only one benefitting from all this.""Well, I didn't do it. So, watch your words." He glared at her and left.Adira fell back to her seat, finally letting her weakness shadow her features. Nikolai's condition was making her lose her mind.

    Adira let out a terrifying scream immediately, her eyes nearly bulging out of her sockets. The bag she held slipped to the floor, and her heart pounded repeatedly against her ribcage. She was too frightened to move and simply watched as blood gushed from his head. It didn't take long before people rushed out, drawn by her scream. First,it was Finn and his wife, followed by Vesper and Kalina. They all expressed great shock at the sight in front of them. "Grandpa!" Finn and Vesper ran to his unconscious body. His wheelchair had fallen along with him and was beside his body on the floor. From every indication, someone pushed him. Finn and Vesper were trying to get him from the floor when Bellamy came out. She gasped at the sight she found. "What the hell happened here? What happened to him?!" Her eyes were already sore. Nobody could say anything and instead, focused on getting the old man from the floor. Adira's heart raced heavily. She watched with bated breath as Finn and Vesper

    Lyra ran into her father's house and fell onto the couch immediately, crying her eyes out. Jared was there as well, but neither of them said a word to Lyra as she wept profusely."All I needed was one more day." She whimpered, her face covered in her palms. "The will was to be ready today, and he'd have signed it already. My life would've been all better by now."Jagger had a glass of wine with him, and he sipped from time to time, saying nothing to his hurting daughter."Lyra, come on, it's enough." Jared rolled her eyes, tired of her whinging already."I'm also angry that the plan was ruined at the last minute, but you shouldn't kill yourself over it. With the rate at which you've been crying, you might actually fall sick."Lyra lifted her face from her palms to look at him."You think I'm worried about being sick right now? Do you have any idea what I've planned? How much that money was supposed to help me?" She pointed a hand to her chest."My life is ruined, Jared! But of course,

    It's been a week now.Vesper seemed to be the one benefitting more from the death of Mr. Thatcher as he felt there was no will to share. Due to Nikolai's absence, his position at the company had gotten pretty high. It was all he's ever wished for.His grandfather had been buried already, but the air at home was always tinged with sadness. He even had to move out of the mansion as he got tired of the unending gloom.He just finished from a meeting and was walking out with his assistant when a call came into his phone. It was Kalina again. He'd lost count of the number of times she had called him for the day, and it was becoming annoying already.Grudgingly, he answered the call."Finally! Someone decided to take my call." She exclaimed, her voice echoing with anger. "What is going on, Vesper? You have been ignoring me for ages now.""I was in a meeting, okay? And you were interrupting." His reply was peeved.Kalina scoffed, like she couldn't believe it. "Seriously? Now, I'm being a pes

    Adira found it difficult believing Bellamy's words. Was she for real? How could this woman have the guts to say this to her face?She was hurt, she wouldn't deny; hurt that Nikolai had been processing their divorce. Of course, he told her about it. But now, it was just too difficult to believe.She sniffed as an uncontrolled tear dropped to her cheek. Looking up at Bellamy, she found no emotions on the woman's face. When did the woman change so much? She used to love her a lot.She looked at the paper again before pushing it away, towards Bellamy."I'm not signing it." She said in a hardened tone.Bellamy's brows furrowed in surprise. She never expected that rigidity from Adira."Are you being serious?" She scoffed. "Do you have any idea what I'm offering you? If you agree to sign these documents, I'll make sure we drop the charges against you and you can be out of jail. You'll be free."The temptation of the offer lingered on Adira's mind.

    Bellamy and her husband ran into Nikolai's room and gasped when they found him awake on the bed. When Na-ri had called and told them about it, they couldn't believe. But finally setting their eyes on him..."My dear son..." She whimpered as she went closer, holding his hand. "Good Lord! You're awake."Nikolai was still lying on the bed, and his face etched with concern when his parents came in alone."Nik, how're you feeling?" Mr. Vincent asked, going to stand at the edge of the bed.Nikolai's eyes were fixed on the door, and when he didn't see who he was expecting, he looked at his parents."Where's she? Why isn't she here?" He asked feebly.Bellamy shared a glance with Na-ri. Na-ri had also told them over the phone that he was asking for Adira.Wearing a smile, Bellamy caresssed his hand."Son, you just woke up after a long time. I believe you need as much rest as you can get. Stop worrying about anyone and just...""Where's she?!" He half-yelled. It was now becoming obvious that so

    Lyra walked into the house and found Jagger there in the living room, having some apples. He had a knife with which he cut out the apple before taking it into his mouth. He seemed so happy, while she was there, mourning."Lyra." He called, his mouth full with a chunk of apple. "You didn't tell me you were coming."Lyra's eyes were sore and swollen. She fixed her gaze on him as she dropped her bag on the parting table in the room."How do you do it?" She asked in a low tone. "How do you manage to stay so happy when our biggest plan crashed a week ago? You didn't even bother to comfort me, neither did you seem worried that we had lost a lot of money. You didn't even try to come up with an alternative or something. It's so unlike...you."Jagger scoffed. He sliced out a piece of apple and threw it into his mouth before looking at her."Did you say an alternative? What was I supposed to do?

    76Blood gushed from his head, he staggered and his entire body lost balance.Lyra took a step back, the blood-stained knife in her hand. And as soon as she did, the mighty Jagger slumped to the floor.Lyra watched with shaky breath as he writhed and gasped for air. Fearfully, she watched and could do nothing.His widened eyes looked at her, calling for help. Until finally, he stopped struggling. His eyes remained open, but she could tell they weren't alive anymore. He was...dead.The knife fell off her hand, and only then did she realize the gravity of what she had done. With her bare hands, she just killed her own father. She killed him!"No..." She muttered inaudibly, fear eating her up.Disgust crawled into her stomach, making her throw up instantly in the room. Tears spilled from her eyes as she dabbed her lips and looked at her father's corpse on the floor. How did she become this? How could she become this?"No!" She let out a painful cry. Her anger had gotten the best of her.
