"Mr. Knight. I was a fool. I will do anything you want. Please spare my life" the leader begged again. Nikolai became curious when he heard this. A smirk appeared on his face. 'Anything I want? Intresting. There is no way I can trust him. But he is bulky enough to be used as a muscle man. I need men to deal with Christian here. Why not just this one?' he thought. "Are you really willing to do anything for me?" Nikolai asked casually. The man bobbed his head eagerly. "Yes , yes. Anything you want. It's a pleasure to work for you than against you. Who wouldn't want to be on the winning side. It's clear that Christian has some beef with you. It's his bad luck that he is going against you. But I don't want to repeat that mistake again. Please, I will be loyal. I will not betray you" he spoke up, showing how eager he is to work for Nikolai. Nikolai chuckled at his eagerness. "You must have got an idea by now that I won't spare the life of anyone who betrayed me. You better no
The early next morning, the video recording of Christian plotting against Ivy to drug her was released by Adam and was released anonymously. Soon, the internet is flooded by comments against Christian. Everyone called out to ban the designs of Christian. And most importantly, the global award which was given to him was revoked by the committee. The reputation, name and fame Christian built over the graves of Nikolai's parents started to crumble. 'That liar, look at how he intentionally targeted Miss Johnson. He lied claiming that it was a misunderstanding. What a big scumbag' 'I heard that Christian is not a good man' 'There was a rumour that Christian killed his biggest competitor who was supposed to win the global award and was mysteriously dead a few weeks before the award ceremony ' 'John Sandler's death cannot be a coincidence. Christian must have killed his biggest competitor' As the internet started to buzz with building hatred for Christian. The woman who was kidna
"I have taken poison before coming here" Kelly's confession broke Adam's heart. "Why? Why did you do this to me? Why?" he demanded tears streaming down in his eyes. His heart is breaking into a million pieces just by looking at her in this state. Kelly cupped his cheek with her shaking palm. "I know you love me so much, Adam. I love you too. I know how much this would affect you. I am so sorry Adam. I had to do this. I dreamt about marrying you for so long. I imagined our kids and even picked their names. But, I am not the same person whom you fell for. I am tainted. I don't deserve a man like you" she spoke with sadness and regret. Kelly is crying too. Looking at the two of them, everyone who is watching them suffer like this couldn't stop themselves from cursing Christian. What Kelly did move everyone. Adam's pain made them feel like it was their pain. "No, l love you. I love you as a whole. Not just your body. Just a mishap which was not in your hands would never taint you
"Christian, I suggest that you should leave. Your reputation is not very good at the moment. And I don't want to get tangled up in this mess along with you. And my wife doesn't want you to stay with us" the lawyer friend spoke bluntly, much to Christian's displeasure. Christian was sipping his whiskey when the lawyer broached the subject hesitantly. Everyone knows that Christian is a sinking ship. Who would want to sink along with him? Being a lawyer, he himself knows about that fact. Christian was useful as long as he had money and power. But now that his reputation took the hit and he will be put behind the bars sooner or later, the lawyer decided to send him away. Christian looked at his friend with an angry glare. "What? Your wife is scared of me? As far as I remembered, every girl I sent to your room came back abused and traumatized. Does your wife know about that side of your character? Let's call her over here and disclose all of that to her, what do you say?" Christian
"Boss, he escaped" Shawn shared the news of Christian's escape with Nikolai. Nikolai already knew about this and he has sent Axel and his men to search for Christian. "I know, How is Kelly?" Nikolai inquired. Shawn's face became solemn. "She was saved at the last moment. By that time all of the poison she consumed reached her head. So she is alive, but she is in a coma now. Adam is with her" he explained the situation. Nikolai felt bad for whatever happened to Adam and Kelly. After suffering for so long, they deserve to be happy. "Instruct the doctors to help her recover no matter what. I Have sent Axel and his men to find Christian. They knew this town better than us. And seems like Axel has been working for Christian for a while now. So I am sure he would know where to find Christian" Nikolai shared his plan. Just then, Ivy rushed to where Nikolai and Shawn were speaking. "Nikolai, look at this news" she showed him the news of a lawyer and his wife being killed brutally
'Lets not affect our friendship because of the past. I will be happy if I could help you in any way' Richard offered genuinely. Nikolai is surprised and so is Ivy. They were not expecting this from Richard. 'Looks like you became mature, Mr. Nina' Nikolai said with a hint of smile. But Richard didn't hold back his chuckle. 'Of course, if I have a friend like you, then I have to grow faster to catch up with you' he joked. Nikolai smiled slightly. He is glad he didn't gain another enemy in the form of Richard Nina. In this one decade, he offended a lot of people in his quest for revenge. Now that he found Ivy, he wanted to leave all that and live a happy life with her. 'You don't worry about anything here. I will take care of Christian. Will meet you after coming back. You rest and recover well' Nikolai advised. Richard on the other hand smiled fondly. 'Sure' with that said, they both disconnected the call. After the call with Richard, Nikolai seemed to be in a good mood
"Mr. Miller?" Axel gasped with shock. Christian took another pull from his cigar before blowing the smoke out. "Looks like you still remember me" he spoke with mockery. Axel is quiet for a moment. Now that he decided to be loyal to Nikolai and give up on Christian, he decided to stick to his plan. Who would want to be on the losing side. Moreover, he knows how capable Nikolai Knight is. He wouldn't even dream about going against him again. But only a fool would show his hand in front of their enemies. So he decided to play along with Christian. "Mr. Miller, how can I forget you?" he replied politely. Christian snorted sarcastically. "Is it? Then I remembered giving you a task to kill that Nikolai Knight. But you didn't bother to call me back again. You didn't even answer my calls. If you think you can ignore me, then I make sure that you regret your decision Axel" he threatened. Axel frowned, worrying that Christian might be suspecting something. But soon realised that it do
Inside Christian's holiday home, he is relaxing without any fear of being caught. He doesn't even know that Nikolai is coming for him. He is listening to some music with his eyes closed. So he didn't immediately hear the small sound of the door opening. Nikolai, Shawn and Axel quietly made their way inside Christian's holiday home. Nikolai is in the lead, while Shawn and Axel are a step behind him on either side.They stopped when they saw Christian relaxing on the couch with his eyes closed.Nikolai gave a nod to Shawn, who stealthily approached Christian from behind and stabbed him near his neck with a needle filled with Chloroform.That's when Christian's eyes blinked open with shock. He tried to push Shawn away, but noticed that his limbs are feeling heavy and he is feeling dizzy. "Who...who are you?" he demanded.Nikolai appeared in front of Christian, shocking the hell out of him. "It..it's you?" he mumbled, gradually losing his conscience."You should have expected a visit f
After three years...Nikolai and Ivy were relaxing outside their family vacation home. Their two year old daughter is seen playing with Noah, who is all too happy to indulge her every whim. She is the apple of Noah's eyes. The fact that she resembles a lot like Ivy added a lot to his pampering. He will not say no to anything she asked of him. "I am happy" Nikolai confessed out of the blue" Ivy gave him a surprised look. "I never thought I would be able to find someone who would understand me the way you do. You share my past and my pain. You never judged me for my actions. You supported me in everything I did. But the feeling of revenge will keep a fire of anger burning inside you. What we never realise is, that fire will burn us as well. I never had a peaceful day before I kidnapped you. I ran after my past to avenge my parents. Life was filled with bitterness and anger. But now, it's filled with love and laughter. Because of you. I am so happy that I kidnapped you that day" Niko
Ten years ago.... In the Knight mansion... "What? Forgive him? Samuel, have you looked at what William did to his wife? He killed her. How can anyone forgive a monster like him?" Nikolai's mother demanded angrily. Samuel is not happy to hear this. "We are friends. Let's just forget all that and get back to normal" Samuel suggested and tried to use the friend card. Nikolai's mother shook her head with displeasure and sadness. "She was my friend too Samuel. And she begged me to help her. What did she do to deserve such a fate? I am not letting him go. He has to be punished" she insisted. Samuel lost his cool. He looked at Nikolai's father for help, but he didn't get any. It's clear that Mr. Knight is supporting his wife. "So be it" with that said, Samuel slapped Nikolai's mother hard across her face. She stumbled and fell down on the floor. Nikolai's father lunged at Samuel, but Coco and Mills appeared from nowhere and grabbed him from behind. "You brought this upon yourself"
After Nikolai and Ivy left, Coco was scared half to death. He was standing on the thin and narrow ledge while Rattle snakes were hissing just a few feet underneath him. To his horror, those snakes are not content in staying there. They are crawling up the wall and on to the ledge where he was standing. He tried to scare the snakes away. And he succeeded a few times before one of the snakes refused to leave the ledge. It started coming closer and closer to him. In his haste to move out of the way, he tumbled and fell onto the floor where so many snakes are there. The moment he fell, all the snakes bit him at once for scaring them and hurting them. "Ahh..." "No.." "Help..." Coco tried to pull himself over to the ledge again, but was unable to do so as he started to lose control over his limbs. His limbs started to go numb and paralysed within minutes. He fell back over the snakes once again. But this time he found himself unable to move. He is still alive, but he couldn't move. Not
In the warehouse, Coco is restrained to a chair. Despite being at the mercy of Nikolai Knight, he was looking very smug and happy. He is a very cunning man who can twist any kind of situation to his advantage. Just like how he did it with Nikolai. The previous day, when Nikolai came to see if he came back to his conscience, Coco started to sow seeds of discord and doubts against Ivy. Twenty four hours ago... 'You don't know what Ivy is like. She is not right in her head. Jason knows it better. That chip tampered with her mind and made her insane. What would happen if her mind becomes unstable in the future? Do you want to risk it?' Coco started his manipulation. Nikolai was quiet, not speaking a single word. When Nikolai was silent, Coco thought that Nikolai was buying his words. 'We had to admit her with a shrink so that she could feel better. There were days when she would even forget to do basic things like taking a bath and eating. You lost your family, are you willing to mar
When the beauticians were finished, Ivy looked extremely beautiful. Just as beautiful as a bride. The blue diamond studded necklace is both subtle and elegant, matching with the earrings. Ivy never dreamt about how she would look as a bride. But now, looking at herself in the mirror, she wouldn't have imagined her better than this. "This would complete the look" with those words, a veil was draped over her head, surprising Ivy. Now she is looking like a bride who is about to be married in a moment. Ivy is confused. All of this started as a dress trial, where she ended up like a bride instead. "Luna..." Ivy turned to ask Luna what was going on, but she noticed belatedly that Luna is no longer in the room and even the beauticians are leaving. No one gave Ivy a chance to think more about what is happening around her. Instead, Noah walked inside the room in his tux and his hair combed back neatly. He trimmed his beard and moustache. He is looking younger and better than how she r
After taking away Coco under the guise of attempted Suicide, they made it look like Coco's condition is not stable. They arranged a dead body which resembled a bit like Coco, but a bit darker in colour. The doctors already lied to Coco's wife that Coco's body turned dark due to the kind of poison he took and she believed him. After a couple of hours, they will declare that he died and will keep the body in the morgue for an autopsy, as it was a suicide case. After the autopsy they will bandage the body after that so that no one could recognise that the dead body doesn't belong to Coco. On the other hand, the real Coco is in Nikolai's warehouse. Still unconscious after drinking the spiked juice Ivy gave him. In the meantime, Nikolai looked very content for the first time in ten years. His heart was not chaotic and demanding to see the blood of those people who killed his parents. He is relaxed without the burden of his revenge weighing him down. "What are we doing here?" Richard a
Coco was feeling sad after Jason was taken away to an asylum. His wife was not pleased, but he couldn't do anything. "So much money and so many connections. But now, nothing is useful. No one can bring my son's sanity back" he thought sadly to himself. He vaguely heard the front door of his home being opened and closed. But he didn't give it any mind. He is not happy with the recent events. Until a voice greeted him. The voice of the person whom he heard almost a decade ago. "Long time no see Carlos" Noah spoke up, startling Coco. Immediately Coco snapped out of his daze and looked at the man who was supposed to be in an asylum, but somehow was standing inside his home. "Noah? You? How did you come here? Did you escape from the asylum?" he inquired with shock. Noah smirked. "Why should I run away? I am not mentally retarded in the first place, am I?" Noah asked with a smile and made himself comfortable on the couch. Coco wheeled his wheelchair closer to Noah. He still couldn't
"I still can't believe that Carlos and Jason did all that. I used to feel like, Jason is the most genuine person and I was very happy that he was there to take care of you when I couldn't. To hear that they did all this and manipulated us to this extent, it's shocking" Noah spoke up after a long silence. After the initial fear and anxiety that made Noah almost paralysed with how petrified he was in Nikolai's presence, he recovered slowly. The funny banter between Richard, Nikolai, Philip, Shawn and Bryan made his anxiety go down a little. And when Ivy reprimanded all of them and asked them to get out, they all obeyed without another word. After they left, Noah relaxed even more. The fact that his daughter has the authority to command the most feared man in the city and he simply obeyed made him assured that things are not as bad as he assumed them to be initially. After that, Ivy showed him to his room where she filled the wardrobe with new clothes for him to wear. He took a showe
"Facility? You mean an asylum?" Coco asked with shock. Philip nodded his head gravely. "It's for his own good Mr. Carlos. If he is not treated immediately, no one can tell what he would do and whom he would hurt in the future. He just assaulted you today. He might kill you tomorrow if he is not treated properly. His condition will only deteriorate from here. It's not safe for you, or anyone in your home. If he manages to get out of the house, he might even hurt a passer-by. It will only give you unnecessary headaches. I am sure no one would want a potential lawsuit on their heads" Philip thoroughly scared Coco. Coco is conflicted. Jason is his only son and the heir of his fortune. He cannot possibly send him to an asylum. Ivy saw the hesitation on his face. It's clear that he doesn't want to send his son to an asylum. 'He readily trapped my father in a mental institution, and was ready to send me there as well. But now he doesn't want to send his son? What a joke. I was someone's
