"Do you have any evidence or basis for your statement just now, Mr Nicolas?" exclaimed one journalist and was followed by similar questions from other journalists.Nicolas nodded. "Of course I have proof. And I will show it to all of you." The man glanced at Detective Arron so that he could tell the operator controlling the screen to play their presentation.Next, there was a recording of the conversation that Detective Arron had given Nicolas two days ago.The crowd listened intently with bated breath and shock. They also saw several photos and videos with their faces blurred as proof that the recording was authentic.The situation became increasingly frenzied and uncontrollable, the evidence of the footage caused mixed reactions, but people now knew that there was a mastermind who ordered the hitman to harm Nicolas the CEO."With this... I want to tell someone who has been hiding behind all this." Nicolas wanted to end the press conference as it was already at the end of the program
"He is my fiancé, sir," Dianne babbled, running her fingers through her hair."Did you say your parents are dead and the man you called earlier is your uncle?" the police officer wondered. Confused because Dianne was talking out of her arse."Ah, I was still feeling a bit tipsy," Dianne joked."So here it is, sir. Our team was patrolling and found Miss Dianne's car parked in front of the road near the red light. When we checked her, we found that she was driving while intoxicated and after checking, we detected an alcohol level on her breath of 15 ml/L."Nicolas, who was standing still, could only logicalise everything at this point. He occasionally glanced at Dianne while digesting the notice. He couldn't understand why Dianne was driving while drunk, and the car she was using was the office car too, the car that she had used yesterday to pick up Keenan from the airport.Fortunately, Dianne did not cause an accident and harm other road users. But still, what this girl did was a safet
With her head aching and stomach churning, Dianne had just woken up on Nicolas' luxurious penthouse bed."Where is this? Why... am I here?" The girl realized she was in a bed that was not her own. Once more awake, Dianne was able to recognize that the girl was in the penthouse of the man she had disappointed.The sound of the shower in the bathroom could be heard stopping. Soon, a man opened the bathroom door and came out shirtless with his bottom covered by a white towel.Instead of Nicolas who should have been shocked, it was Dianne who was stunned at Nicolas' appearance which again made her eyes feel like they were being tainted. "Aaahh!!!" Dianne covered her eyes with both palms."Aaahhh!!!" Nicolas also shouted while crossing his arms on his chest, spontaneously. How could he not, he had left the room while Dianne was still sleeping beautifully, but now she was awake."What are you doing here?" pointed out Dianne."What do you mean by what I'm doing here? Of course I'm here, in m
"I don't know, I'm not sure telling you is the right thing. I just didn't want to take a risk and mortgage my brother's safety," Dianne said, giving a little clue."What, so this has something to do with your brother Kariaf?" Nicolas frowned. "What is it? Does he owe a large sum to a loan shark? Or... did he cause trouble at his college?"Dianne shook her head. "It has nothing to do with my brother." The girl regretted answering Nicolas' question.Nicolas nodded in understanding, he wouldn't have pressed the question if Dianne hadn't wanted to share her burden. "Whatever the case, you must never act like yesterday again, okay," he said in a softer tone. "I'd go crazy if anything happened to you, Dianne."Silence.The atmosphere in the living room was silent for a few seconds. Both Dianne and Nicolas were silent after that last sentence, which was full of meaning and significance. Both looked into each other's beady eyes, busy controlling the rumbling and strange sensations in their ch
After the thinning of the boundary between Dianne and Nicolas this afternoon, the girl began to convince herself to tell Nicolas about Andreas. But, the girl had to choose the right location and timing. Dianne also had to stay with Kairaf afterward so that Andreas wouldn't kill her brother.After returning from the penthouse and being dropped off by Nicolas, Dianne immediately called Kairaf to ask him to come home immediately because she wanted to talk about something. However, it was already nine o'clock in the evening and the bridge of her brother's nose had yet to appear.As Dianne waited restlessly, an email notification arrived on her mobile phone. The pattern of the email was very similar to the threatening emails she often got from Andreas.Without waiting any longer, Dianne immediately read the email.[Andreas]: You must be waiting for your brother, don't you? Unfortunately, he is now in my hands. Do you think I'm stupid? Of course, I need a prisoner for you to actually give m
Nicolas widened his eyes when he heard the unexpected confession that Keenan had just made."What?" came Nicolas' choked breath."So what if it was me?" repeated Keenan with a smirk. His usually friendly and innocent facial expression had now fully blossomed, turning into a sly and otherworldly-looking face."Keenan! Are you sure about what you said? Don't joke around! It's not funny!" snapped Nicolas, even though he was the one who provoked Keenan to confess but he was shocked and disbelieved.Nicolas just couldn't believe that all this time Keenan was not the Keenan he knew. The man looked like someone else, where did his best friend who had been with him for 10 years go? And what did he mean by 'what if it was him?'Keenan laughed sarcastically, his annoyance and true nature had surfaced at an unexpected time, and now was the time. "You're here to browbeat me into confessing, aren't you? I don't know where you got the clue that I'm the one, but... I applaud you for coming here at n
Nicolas clenched his hands into fists. This was not what he had come to see Keenan for if only to get this deep of a disappointment. He had just felt a betrayal that hurt beyond measure. A pain that exceeded Dianne's who lied to him to be a fake fiancé."You can't be like this, Keenan! You had someone run me over, and you admit it, then you say you don't want to talk about it now! What a fucking human!" groaned Nicolas in annoyance.Keenan, who had his back to Nicolas, turned his body to face the man. There was a sense of annoyance because Nicolas suddenly threw that rude frown at him. But on the other hand, he felt that it was natural because he almost got the man killed."I want you to feel more pain, Nicolas!" snapped Keenan in a sharp tone. His eyeballs were red with emotion. "You should know the suffering I've been through.""What pain?" asked Nicolas in a high tone. "What have I done to you! As angry as I was with you, I never thought of harming you. But you..." The man pointed
Nicolas froze for a few seconds after hearing Dianne's voicemail that suddenly came into his mobile phone while he was having a conflicted conversation with Keenan.The voicemail from Dianne actually sounded like the last message. It was as if the girl would never appear before Nicolas again, even though it was only a few hours ago that Nicolas drove Dianne home and he made sure she was safe until he closed the door again."What does that mean?" murmured Nicolas in a low, rustling tone, looking at his chat room with the girl. The man now no longer cared about his heated debate with Keenan even though this moment was something that hit him quite hard.Keenan, who was also listening to Dianne's voice message, immediately racked his brain. He tried to remember something that Dianne had discussed with him on the way from the airport to the apartment. Keenan remembered that Dianne was now dealing with Andreas because the girl had asked him when they both ate at the restaurant.At that time
