Nikolai wanted to chase the men who attacked him. But he couldn't bring himself to leave Ivy alone. The bullet just grazed past his abdomen, but still he started to feel dizzy. He shook his head stubbornly to suppress his dizziness. He stumbled towards the area where he hid Ivy. Under the blanket of darkness, he found her folded into herself while tightly shutting her eyes while shielding her ears with her arms."Angel" he gently touched her shoulder. She jumped at his touch, but soon recovered when she noticed that it was Nikolai."Mr. Knight...." her words died in her throat when she saw blood seeping from his shirt."Nikolai, you are injured" she cried and sat up hurriedly to help him. But whatever his enemies coated the bullets with is making him increasingly dizzy. He stumbled again. This time Ivy stood up to her feet to assist him from falling. But despite her efforts to help him, she couldn't hold his entire weight. He stumbled again and fell down. This time Ivy too fell down
In the woods, a man is watching the unmoving figure of Nikolai under the branches. It is so dark down the hill that he couldn't see anything clearly. He just assumed that only Nikolai is lying there. The man smirked with satisfaction.He dialled a number on his mobile. His call was answered on the third ring."What happened?" the person on the other end inquired."Our poison is working. He is dying. No one can save him now" the man who is watching Nikolai replied."Too bad, Stevenson had to sacrifice his life" the other man spoke in a detached tone as if he doesn't care if Stevenson lives or dies. After that, the call got disconnected and the man left with satisfaction.Down the hill, Ivy is extremely concerned for Nikolai."Nikolai, please don't sleep" she whispered when she noticed that he was closing his eyes. He opened his eyes with difficulty. The allure of slipping into a deep sleep is so tempting and overwhelming. At that moment, he felt so lonely. He has been fighting a batt
That night in the woods, Ivy is sleeping soundly despite their not so ideal situation. But Nikolai is not sleeping. He is keeping watch. He knows that the people who came to kill him must have misunderstood that he is dead. But once they find out that he is not dead, then they will try to kill him again. 'Shawn might have found out that I am missing. He must be searching for me. After that, I have to find out who is trying to kill me this time. Based on how perfectly they planned this attack, they don't want me to escape. Too bad, I survived. That's to my angel ' he thought to himself. He looked at Ivy who was sleeping in his arms. Her concern and worry for him was very evident when he was shot. She could have left him to his fate and doesn't have to tend to him last night. He has to admit that his recovery was so quick because of her. After his parents passed away, she is the only one who cared for him genuinely without expecting anything in return. He made sure where they stood th
"What is this? Why did she have that in her head?" Nikolai asked while holding a small one inch long black square like thing which looks like a chip. It has some copper colour buttons like things on its surface.Philip removed his specs and rubbed his tired eyes. Ivy was taken to his private clinic and he removed this suspicious looking chip from her head after keeping her under anaesthesia. He sent it to a lab who is well versed with this kind of thing. But it was Shawn who already guessed what it was the moment he saw it."Shawn was right. Someone intentionally planted this chip inside her head. This chip can be controlled using a remote. It releases electricity inside her mind, forcing her to behave oddly. She might imagine things which are not there, or she can hear things which no one else can. Gradually the person will lose his or her mind and go insane" Philip explained.Nikolai was stunned to hear this."But why her? Who is trying to hurt her? She is a good girl, so why target
All the guests who came to the last rights of Stevenson were stunned.Nina's are a big name in society. They are considered elites. So almost everyone from the higher ranking members of rich families attended the banquet along with the paparazzi. The paparazzi are eagerly recording everything that happened in the cemetery. It's not a secret from anyone that Catherine Simpson is engaged to Nikolai Knight. William and Samuel already let the rumours spread for their benefits. When someone questioned them about the engagement, they tactfully refused to answer, but never outright brushed it off as a rumour. That made everyone believe that Catherine is to marry Nikolai. But now when Richard Nina openly announced that he has an affair with Catherine who is still engaged to Nikolai is no less than a scandal of epic proportions."She is a bit*h who sleeps with anyone and everyone, Nik. You better drop your plans to marry this vicious bi*ch" Richard fumed.Nikolai already knows about this. So h
"Mr. Nina, we received your complaint and the proofs you sent us against Mr. Samuel. We are here to take Mr. Samuel Simpson into our custody" one of the officers informed Richard.Richard looked puzzled. He didn't file any complaints. But he didn't refuse when the cops mistook the issue. He wanted to kill Samuel with his bare hands, but sending him behind the bars is equally promising. So he agreed."Yes, it was me. Here are the proofs against Samuel Simpson. My father spoke with him for the last time before he left our home and crashed into that truck. Here is the proof" Richard handed over his father's mobile phone and the caller id which is showing a call with Samuel."I suspect that Samuel is involved with my father's accident. Here is the video from the hospital where you can see him shaking my father vigorously leading to my father's death. He is a criminal" Richard openly handed over all the proofs against Samuel to the cops. The cops took the proofs and handcuffed Samuel."I d
Nikolai walked inside the small clinic while holding his black suit jacket with one hand. His tie is loosely hanging around his neck. The three buttons of his black shirt are undone, showing a hint of his toned chest. He looked tired. With lack of sleep the other night and getting injured and poisoned were not easy on his body. The need for his revenge is fueling him to keep moving forward with his plan. "Philip, change the dressing" Nikolai instructed while pointing at his bullet wound from last night. Richard's elbow hit his abdomen when he was trying to hold Richard back in the cemetery. It was an accident. But it didn't hurt any less. It took a lot of control on Nikolai's part to not show his discomfort. Philip immediately fetched his first aid box while Nikolai unbuttoned his shirt and sat beside Ivy on her bed. He leaned back while resting his back to the head board of the bed. Ivy gasped when she saw that the white gauze had now turned red. She tried to move away so that he
The old man has a thoughtful gleam in his eyes."Well, looks like the cold Nikolai Knight now has a chink in his armour. And she is none other than Ivy. I want you to make her go insane almost immediately. Turn on the chip and don't turn it off. She will start her screams and this time she will not stop until someone kindly sends her to an asylum, straight to her father. She made the mistake of seeing my face that night. I cannot let her ruin my fate just when it started to shine. Let her illness keep Nikolai distracted. And then take a lawyer to bring Samuel out of jail. He should know that Nikolai is targeting him" the old man instructed his son.The young man nodded and left.That evening, Ivy left Philips clinic after she was cautioned to take good rest. Shawn dropped her near Jason's food stall in the market."Thank you Shawn" Ivy thanked him.Shawn smiled at her."No problem, Ivy. Take care" he said before leaving. What Neither Shawn nor Nikolai told her was that, now she has a
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
