'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
"Mr. Carlos, we are here to arrest your son, Jason" Bryan shared. This is the last thing Coco was expecting to hear when he woke up that morning. His head started to spin with shock. "W..what? Arrest my son?" he gasped with shock. Until that point, Coco thought only Nikolai was suspecting that Jason was alive. He never thought that cops would come to arrest him. "Yes, we are here to arrest your son. Can you call him over?" Bryan spoke calmly. Coco is sweating profusely. Jason is in his room. If he refuses to call Jason over, they might demand to search his house, which is not good for him. "Officer? What are you speaking about? Look over there" Coco pointed to a far wall where Jason's picture was hanging on a wall. A flower bouquet was placed near his picture, to make people that he is dead. Bryan looked at the picture for a split second before turning back to face Coco again. "Mr. Carlos, it came to our knowledge that your son is still alive. The person whose corpse
In Aquila, Christian slowly came back to his conscience. His head is pounding with pain because of the Chloroform given to him. He tried to lift him hand, only to realise that he couldn't move his limbs. That's when his eyes flew open and looked around him with shock. He is in a dimly lit room, and it felt like a garage or a basement. He is laid down on his back while his limbs are being pulled tightly and were being restrained by chains. "What the hell? Hey, do you think i am a dog? Why the hell do you restrain me like this?" he demanded into the dark room. But no one replied. Vaguely he recollected Nikolai coming inside his home and then he fainted. 'Did Nikolai kidnap me? But for what? Eying his girlfriend? This is insane.' he thought to himself and tugged at the chains with anger. "Hey, someone there?" he yelled at the top of his lungs. But no one responded. "Let me go. Nikolai, don't play with fire. You don't know who I am and what I can do to you. Let me go now" he deman
That night, after delivering Christian's first punishment, Neither Ivy nor Nikolai were in the mood to talk to anyone. So they locked themselves in their temporary room, seeking comfort in each other's arms. Ivy understood that what Nikolai said was true. It's not easy to kill or punish someone so brutally and not let the small pang of guilt enter your consciousness. But whenever she starts to feel guilty, Ivy reminds herself of what Christian did ten years ago. And what he did with Kelly and the other woman. He needs to be punished more brutally than this. "I suggest you go back tomorrow" Nikolai spoke up, breaking into her thoughts. She didn't pretend as if she didn't understand what he was speaking about. "This is not easy. Even though he did all sorts of bad things, I still felt a pang in my conscience. But I am suppressing my conscience. He doesn't deserve pity. I want to be here. I want to see his misery, just how I was forced to see the misery of our parents" she spoke s
Ivy was on her way to buy food for Kelly when she saw Jason. She became so happy to see him there, that she took a detour to speak with him. He was looking at the prescription which he was holding in his hands, that he didn't notice. "Jason" she called out for him, making everyone around her to turn and look at her. She gave them an apologetic look before she hurried after Jason who is walking away. On the other hand, Jason heard Ivy loud and clear. But he didn't stop. Because he was stunned to see her there. Who would have expected that he would stumble upon Ivy in a hospital in another town. They both doesn't belong in that town. So visiting a hospital was not expected. He ignored her and hurried out of there as fast as he could. 'Ivy saw me here. What of she told Nikolai? He will search for me and will not stop until he finds me. I cannot go back home either. I cannot let Ivy tell Nikolai about me. Can I take that chance? Looks like she doesn't know about my involvement i
"Jason? Where am I?" Ivy asked Jason feeling anxious to inform Nikolai. She knows that he must be worried for her. Jason looked at her with a calculating gleam in his eyes, without replying. When he didn't reply, Ivy started to become suspicious. His whole behaviour today was odd. As if he did something wrong and tried to escape. "Jason, where am I ? I need to call Nikolai. He must be searching for me" she spoke with a hint of underlying fear. For the first time she is feeling uneasy in Jason's presence. When she mentioned Nikolai, Jason became upset. "Nikolai, Nikolai, Nikolai. ..Why do you always only think about him? You just met him a few months ago. But we were together for the past ten years. Did these ten years mean nothing to you? He kidnapped you for crying out loud. What is so great about him which I lack? You know I love you too. I am good looking as well. Then why him and why not me?" he demanded angrily. Ivy is stunned at his outburst. The calm and composed Jaso
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
