Nathaniel's POV:I realized as I stared at Lydia that she was at the brink of crying as soon as she hung up the call and my heart clenched. I knew it had to be because she hadn't apprehended the murderer. In a second, we made eye contact and my heart rate picked up for some odd reason."Sir, your order is up." The barista announced and I smiled small collecting my cup of coffee. I paid and headed straight to Lydia's table and she watched me intently all while like she knew something I didn't.Did she know I had the video? Did she think it was planned?"May I join you?" I questioned pulling down my nose mask and she gestured for me to take a seat."Is there something I can help you with Nathaniel?" She asked with an attitude and rather than being intimidated or behaving she would hit me, I took a sip of my coffee and gathered my words."Come with me to the station."I spoke sternly, putting on an emotional face when all I wanted to do was to ask how she is and playfully question her wh
LYDIA'S POV:AT THE STATION:The chief detective led us into his office and I took a seat while Nathaniel stood behind me. For some reason, he wouldn't tell me anything so I was tense and wondered who it could be. How was the person found? How will I react? Those questions were on my mind. "Here you go, Miss Miller. Just press play." The detective spoke, placing his laptop in front of me and I nodded. I sighed deeply and I felt Nathaniel lovingly using his thumb caress my shoulder in order to calm me down.I didn't even know how to feel about that. So I just quickly pressed play and watched the video intently."This whore." I clenched my jaw as I shook my head with anger radiating off my body. "I knew it, I knew it. And she still tried to act manipulative and make me doubt my thoughts. She's crazy as hell." I was livid but a part of me was relieved but definitely not calm. I felt like murdering with my own hands for doing this. Now Andrew has to go through severe pain because she wa
Lydia's POV:"Thank you…..thank you Lydia." He let out a breath rising to his feet and I was quite shocked that he wasn't hurt by words but rather hopeful."Can I hug you?" He asked and I just looked at him, trying to catch my breath and read how my words had given so much hope. On the other hand, I truly meant my words. I didn't want to harbor hate towards him, whether it meant I was letting him or not. I needed to express myself and this served as a form of closure. He embraced me in a warm hug and we were like that for about a minute before he slowly pulled us apart and I felt his beard near my neck making me shiver a little."Thank you again and Bye." I thanked him for standing behind me this time. And he nodded, staring at me before I exited the office.Who would have thought I would have gotten closure in a detective's office?Nonetheless, a burden was lifted off me and I felt light and happy. Now, all I wanted to do was hug and talk to my brother.But a call from my father cam
NATHANIEL'S POV.I stood on my balcony sipping wine trying to hide my anxiety and anticipation to get that one call informing me of Jenny's arrest. She had contributed in making Lydia's life hell and the text message she had sent was enough confirmation for me to see her true colors. However, I was baffled and I kept recounting the events of today, they were quite life changing. But I was quite excited that Lydia had forgiven me, I already began to make plans on everything I would do to make her see that I was different now and willing to do anything in my power to make sure I have her.But a question that lay on my mind was, who sent that video and why was it sent to me alone?It was now 7pm, about an hour after Lydia and I had left the station. After gazing at the sun set, I went back in search of what I could do to distract myself and what better thing to do than work. I picked up the blueprint I had been inspecting earlier but soon, the doorbell rang. I made a promise to myself th
Nathaniel POV:Is Rachel still with Jason then? I thought to myself texting her.Our attention was turned away from our devices at the opening of the door. I stared at the hallway hoping to see Rachel coming in because I was getting worried and even her driver wasn't picking up.***********LYDIA'S POV:With happiness and excitement, I came out of the elevator arriving at Andrew's hospital floor. I almost skipped joyfully as I walked, we had uncovered who cut the brakes to my car leading to Andrew's accident and the damage of my baby, my first car, and finally expressing myself to Nathaniel seemed to make my heart light. I would be over the moon excited when I get the update that Jenny had been brought in the station.I had already planned what I would do as soon as I saw her, and I would be the one laughing.My eyebrows knitted in confusion as I heard an argument coming from the front of Andrew's room. Walking further, I was bewildered seeing Lorena and Darren in a heated argument an
JENNY'S POV:Lydia must be crazy if she thinks I would let the police bring me to that hell hole. I would rather die than go to prison and get laughed at by her and the entire country. I couldn't believe Nathaniel actually told on me, after everything we have been through. He will pay some other way but as soon as I get settled in wherever I decide to run to, then I will call him and I'm certain he will come to my aid for anything I might need.Or maybe I should just let him be for a while? So he can realize what he has done. I will just think about that later.I carried a small bag and put it in the minivan in the garage, hoping to leave the mansion without any staff's notice. I had sneaked out leaving a small note for Mrs King, she was resting in her room and I knew she was either truly taking a nap or thinking about her major life changes. I started up the minivan realizing that there wasn't gas anymore, so I debated for about a minute if I could take one of Nathaniel's old sports
JENNY'S POV:3 HOURS BEFORE:3RD POV:Mrs King woke up from her nap hearing an impatient knock coming from her door. She rose up from her bed in annoyance and walked to the door but before opening the door, she saw a white note on the floor. In confusion, she picked it up and read it in astonishment:Dear Mrs King, I want to let you know you were right, I was responsible for Lydia's brother's accident. I was so angry that I had cut the brakes to Lydia's car with the intention to have her killed. I was just trying to protect you by keeping this information from you, I hope you understand.The police and the media have found out, as KELVIN had caught me and recorded it all. He sent it to Nathaniel and your son reported it probably because of his obsession over Lydia.I have escaped and taken a sum of your money but you will make it back…smiley face. Oh and I took some jewelry. So that's not stealing right?I need you to please fight for me and help me keep Nathaniel and Lydia apart, b
NATHANIEL'S POV:I watched as Kelvin walked in with a smile on his face holding two boxes of pizza. My heart fell and rather than heading over to greet him or welcome him, I just went into my home office and began to call Jenny repeatedly. I called her for the last time and it rang continuously rather than going straight to voicemail."Come on, pick up." I paced back and forth waiting patiently and through the corner of my eye I saw Kelvin entering the large office which was also a study, containing my old books, college textbooks and educational books on running a company and being the best at my field."Hello Nathaniel, what's up? Is everything alright?" She asked cooly, yet her tone sounded worried once she picked up the goddamn call."I'm meant to be asking you that. Are you okay? Where are you? Who are you with?" I bombarded her with questions out of worry but realized it might make her feel some type of way that I was being top protective."Nathaniel, I'm a big girl and I know w
