After Nancy left the washroom, her mind was occupied. Why would Lynn have that kind of drug?Luckily, Nancy had not drunk any alcohol today so the scent would not affect her.What about Yaacob? Had he drunk anything?Was this how Lynn meant to take down Yaacob? By drugging him?Nancy and Yaacob were divorced. After their unpleasant meeting just now, it did not seem like she was in a position to meddle in his business.If Yaacob wanted to date Lynn, then he must have been prepared that, sooner or later, they would move on to the next phase.'Nancy, oh, Nancy… Who are you to stop this?' she thought to herself.She left the restaurant through the back door but regretted it very quickly. It would not have mattered if she had not learned about it. However, could she just do nothing now that she knew a woman was going to drug Yaacob?She understood Yaacob was bound to be together with Lynn. However, letting him be drugged and raped by her did not feel right.Her phone in her bag vib
The first thing Yaacob did upon entering the room was smack away the morning-after pill in Nancy's hand and drag her out of bed.She had not put her clothes on yet. She used the blanket to cover her naked body."Yaacob, what are you doing?" she asked."Did you do it on purpose?" Yaacob asked.Both of them had spoken at the same time, so Nancy did not hear his question clearly."What did you say?" "I'm asking, did you and Benjamin plan this together?"Nancy was baffled. "I don't understand.""Lynn was raped," Yaacob explained."No… How could that happen?" Nancy was stunned.That was what Yaacob had gone to deal with while Nancy slept. During the days they had been together, Yaacob's phone had been switched off. Under the drug's influence, he had decided to let loose and enjoy the insanity.He had been acting discreetly for many years. In this brief moment of negligence, catastrophe had befallen.Two days ago, he had realized his body temperature had not been right, so he ha
That night, Nancy left Athenapolis.Randall had sent her to the airport. Nancy had not even had the time to inform Yvonne about her departure.Yvonne would be mad when she found out Nancy had left without telling her. However, Nancy knew Yvonne would not stay mad at her for long because they were best friends. She just needed to say sorry to Yvonne for Yvonne forgive her in the future.That was if they were ever going to meet in the future.Before Nancy's flight took off, Randall thought he should inform Yaacob. As Nancy's ex-husband, that was the least he could do for him before sending Nancy away.When Yaacob received the text message, he glanced at it, did not reply, and deleted it. This was the end between him and Nancy. He had been harsh to her and had said many things that hurt her in the hotel room. It did not matter to or affect him whether Nancy stayed or left the country.The next day, he received a notification from the bank. It told him that Nancy had returned the ali
Xander ignored Kristine, but she was reluctant to leave and followed him into his bedroom."Xander, why are you giving me the cold shoulder after Anna's accident? Are you blaming me for her accident? Have you forgotten who our enemy is? She's Wesley Yale's daughter! He was a scoundrel, rogue, good-for-nothing person when he was young! He stole everything he has today! He also killed your parents. You're just taking what belongs to you. Wesley and Anna deserve this ending!" Kristine reminded him."Don't forget. My sister was killed by Anna! They used their power to make the murder seem like an accident. Why are you being so hard on yourself now that Anna is dead because of a car accident? You don't owe her anything!" Kristine continued."That's enough! Stop talking!" Xander cut her off. He was annoyed that Kristine had come into his room while he was trying to change. "Get out now!""I'm not finished yet! Have you forgotten that you promised my sister that you'd take care of me? Now
When Xander reached, Randall and Yaacob were drinking together. It had been a long time since the three of them had met.For the past few months, they had been busy with their lives. Trouble was their closest friend.It was a miracle that they had found the chance to meet up and drink.Randall did not talk about Nancy, and Yaacob did not ask. Many things were left unsaid as they enjoyed their drinks.However, when Xander arrived, he nervously asked, "Yaacob, where's Nancy?"Yaacob replied without looking at him, "Don't ask me.""Haven't you two made up yet?" Xander said and looked at Randall."Don't ask me either. She specifically told me not to tell you where she is," Randall answered. "Maybe she is sick of you."Xander had scared Nancy by sending many baby items to her.Randall handed Xander a glass of alcohol, and they sat together in a row.Xander was wet because of the rain. He took off his coat, took a sip of the alcohol to warm up, and said, "I have news about Anna."
"Rowena…"Randall had dreamed of seeing Rowena awake. Yet, now she was, he did not know what to say. He wanted to ask if she was all right, but he found it hard to utter a word.While Randall walked toward Rowena, Barry put on his pants and tried to sneak away.Randall seemed to have eyes on his back. He shot Barry's left leg without looking.The gunshot echoed loudly in the small treatment room. Blood gushed out Barry's leg. His face grew ashen. He screamed in pain, "Ah! My leg! My leg!""Ah!" Rowena shrieked, jumped off the bed, and hid behind Randall.Randall grabbed her arms. The ferocious look on his face disappeared. He quickly consoled her in a soft voice: "Don't be scared!""I want to leave! Bring me away from here!" Rowena requested."Okay," Randall answered.That had been his original plan: to take Rowena away while she was unconscious. He had been afraid he would harm her if he took her away so he had not. In return, he had had to give Donald his support.Since Bar
Randall realized it would be hard for him to get used to the way Rowena was treating him. He had not quite accepted that Rowena had lost her memory.Rowena had hated and loathed him. She had dreamed of breaking free of Randall's control and had fled from him when he had tried to get close to her. None of those unhappy memories remained in her mind now. She felt no hatred toward Randall. In fact, he sensed that she was slowly leaning toward depending on him.Then again, Randall did not know if his instincts were right. He found it hard to believe because his luck was always poor.He would always lose at bets and gambling. When his life had been in danger and Rowena had saved him and when he had been abused… Those were the consequences he had to bear for losing a bet with God.The only lucky thing that had ever happened to him was meeting Rowena. Not only had she saved him, but he had met his dream girl.He had made another bet with God when he had tried to make Rowena fall in love
Randall began to contact Harrison frequently after he had a falling out with Donald. With Yaacob acting as the middle person, it stood to reason Harrison welcomed Randall with open arms. Plus, Randall's resources and connections would only make Harrison even more powerful, no matter who he sided with.Adding to the fact that Randall beat up Barry when he rescued Rowena, he had made himself an enemy of the Hardin family. After that, Donald said that he would crack down on the criminals working in the gray area in an interview, and everyone knew he was actually talking about Randall.However, Randall did not work in the gray area; all of his investments were of legitimate businesses. The ones that Donald had cracked down on were not really that important to Randall, so he was able to let them go without even batting an eye.Donald had not expected Randall to be able to wash his hands off his shady businesses completely. As furious as he was, there was nothing he could do about it. To
