Less than half a minute after Yaacob read the text message, he received another message from Ain's number.[I have her too!]He showed both text messages to Randall, to which the latter asked, "If your guess is correct and Ain is the real killer, then she's behind this too?"Yaacob frowned and said nothing.Immediately afterward, he received the third text message from an unknown number. [Choose one of the two.][Who are you?][I'm going to kill all the women around you!][Are you from the organization?][Yes.]After that, the unknown number sent Yaacob a photo.It was a photo of Nancy tied up and unconscious.[She is really beautiful. It'll be a shame to chop her up into pieces. She'll make a wonderful specimen.][Don't you dare]After that, the unknown number sent him a photo of Ain, who was all tied up and unconscious as well. Judging from the background of the photo, she and Nancy are not in the same room.[I can let one of them go. It's up to you to choose who shal
Nancy was trapped in a burning room. In order to save herself, she burned the rope that was tying her down. Because of that, her hands suffered burns. She was sent to the hospital to receive treatment, and the doctor had to wrap her hands up. For the next few days, she had been grunting and worrying if there would be any scars left on her hands."Yaacob, are my hands going to recover?" Nancy asked."The doctor said you were lucky. You only suffered a minor burn on your fingers. The doctor will prescribe ointment for the burn. I'm sure it can help with removing the scar if you apply it consistently," Yaacob consoled the narcissistic Nancy.Nancy was relieved to hear that and exhaled deeply."Here, drink this." Yaacob fed her a spoonful of soup.She could not use her hands and had to rely on people to feed her and take care of her. Therefore, Yaacob moved his office to the ward and stayed with her.While she was drinking the soup, she suddenly thought of what the police told her wh
Nancy's dinner date with Yaacob was at six o'clock in the evening, so she still had time to go to the beauty salon. While going through her facial, Nancy was about to fall asleep when a woman's voice jolted her awake."Ms. Lawson, your skin is flawless. You must really take good care of it."Nancy thought someone was talking to her, but then she heard another voice reply, "Not really. I just make sure to wash my face properly at the end of the day."Based on that pretentious answer alone, Nancy knew Teresa was next door."Then you must be born with flawless skin, Teresa. Oh my god, I'm so jealous. We women really need to take care of our skin especially when we are older than 25 years old. In fact, I wish I could get facial treatments every day."'Wait a minute… Isn't that Rosa's voice? Why is she hanging out with Teresa?' thought Nancy."Rosa, your family is so rich that you can just open your own private beauty salon at home. Unlike me, I have to pinch pennies to make ends meet
"Rosa, I would like to have a word with Teresa, in private. Would you mind giving us some space?" Nancy said warmly as she summoned up all the niceness she had in her.Face it. Rosa was Yaacob's biological sister. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. No matter how much Nancy might dislike Rosa, she was willing to look past their differences for Yaacob's sake. Besides, Nancy did not wish to put Yaacob in a position where he was forced to choose between them. Unfortunately, the same could be said of Rosa, for she never considered Nancy family. Rosa said with her chest puffed out, "Nancy, Teresa is my bestie, if you even think of pushing her around." Nancy was exasperated and said, "Why would I do such a thing? I just wanted to talk to her about certain disputes we had regarding my previous marriage. If Teresa doesn't mind, do feel free to stick around."By putting Teresa on the spot, she knew Teresa would flinch and would not want Rosa to be around. Nancy had Teresa on
Yaacob did consider going after Lola. However, that was a tactical evasion he considered when he realized he was falling more and more for Nancy each day. To this day, he felt it was the worst mistake he had made in the past few years.Yaacob used to despise women who boasted about the number of men being at their heels and used that to show off. However, Nancy was the exception. Nancy took pride and reveled in her own beauty, and yet, in Yaacob's eyes, that was a captivating and charming sight.Not all women who were bestowed with beauty were able to make use of it without being annoying.Obviously, Lola did not have the same gift as Nancy. She tried as she might to flirt with Yaacob, but it only caused Yaacob to furrow his brows deeper and get agitated."The keyword being 'almost'!" replied Yaacob.Lola could tell from his tone of voice that he was relieved that he did not fall for her. That greatly embarrassed her."Oh my. I did not expect a fine gentleman such as Mr. Getson t
Before the dinner "party" was even over, the two main characters had left.Randall went to a nearby hotel with Rowena, and after some intimacy, he held her in his arms tightly.It was about thirty minutes to midnight. When he saw that there was only half a circle left by the bedside table, he frowned.At that moment, the room was very quiet. He could hear Rowena panting audibly next to him. Their session had been incredibly intense.However, as they slowly cooled down, Randall felt his heart empty.It was a strange feeling. He was holding her, but he still felt empty.He knew he would not be able to hold her again very soon.He could not help but tighten his arms around her, gently kissing her forehead.He tried to get her favor: "Rowena, what do you want? I'll give you anything."Rowena's face was still red after how intimate they had been. She smiled as she stopped her panting and answered, "There's no need. I'll get what I want very soon."What she wanted had always been t
Nancy spat out her coffee.She coughed as she wiped her mouth with a napkin.She took the chance to digest what Rowena had said before looking at the woman in disbelief. "Are you serious? Lola's his mistress!""I've already divorced Randall. There are no mistresses any more." Rowena was even trying to defend Lola.It was probably only those who had true love like Nancy did who hated mistresses and homewreckers!In Rowena's eyes, there was no mistress because she had never thought of Randall as her husband. So she did not care if anyone took him away."If you really want to get rid of Randall, you could hope that he falls for another girl. It doesn't need to be Lola."In truth, even though Nancy thought Randall was a scumbag, she still felt that it would be his loss to be with Lola.After all, he was a romantic at heart, and Lola just wanted his money. She had even used such underhanded methods.Rowena shook her head, stirring her coffee as she said, "If he could fall for a wom
Nancy was stunned to see the scar on Lola's chest.She never expected something like that to exist between Lola and Randall.Nancy still remembered when Ain had been in Randall's hospital. Ain had asked Nancy if she was there to see Lola.At the time, Nancy had not realized what she had meant, but after Lola had said that she had met Ain before, she realized they had met at the hospital.Lola had taken a bullet for Randall and had been sent to the hospital to get treated. There, she had met Ain.That was probably what had happened. After that, Randall had arranged a place for her to stay after she had gotten better.So he had not been keeping her as his mistress."Nancy, I know you look down on me. At the start, I really did do everything I could to get closer to Randall, but so what? Compared to you and Mr. Getson, I'm unlucky. I seized this chance for myself. I just lost out to his wife because I met him a few years later. If it was her, would she have taken a bullet for Randa
