Nicolas doesn't seem to want to stop. He kept on babbling.“I was the one who tolerated you. Allowing you guys to come to show up again after twelve years, ah… no, it's been thirteen years of seclusion now.” Nicolas took a deep breath, trying to keep control of himself even though at this point he was doing his best.“Last year, you guys shamelessly came and asked me to go to college, pretending to know which future would be better for me. But… since you guys are self-conscious, Papa made an excuse to step down for a bit on the grounds of my mental health!” Nicolas clenched his fists beside his thighs."You don't remember what Papa said last year?" Carlloz cut in, he didn't want to lose power to his son even though what Nicolas said was completely true. But Carloz always lies to himself. “You should go to college, Nicolas! Because that's what Grandpa Anthony wanted, and so did Papa. We will guarantee your future.”"Guarantee?" Nicolas chuckled again.“All you have to do is one, Nicola
“It was easy for Papa and Grandpa Anthony,” said Carloz. "Papa just needs to find a relationship to get in there and all you have to do is write a motivation letter so Stanford University can actually apply," explained Carloz.Nicolas’s shock finally ended. In the end, it all really depends on himself, he wants to keep applying and making various essays and motivation letters so that his data can be processed and selected.It turned out that no matter how great the Trallington family's relations were, a world-renowned university would not be able to accept new students just because of money. Surely the selection system to enter there will be very strict.Nicolas chuckled lightly. "So you mean Papa, I, who don't intend to go to college, have to write an essay and a motivation letter to go to university at Stanford too?" he laughed.“Of course, you deserve to go in there, Nicolas. Or maybe you are more interested in studying at another university, other than in the United States for exa
At a second that coincided with the clock striking twice, Nicolas woke up from his meditation on the single sofa chair.The man gasped after various thoughts swirled in his head and finally found the most appropriate point that was the way out of his Revenge.“Haaaah!!” Nicolas’s heart was beating fast and his breath was short. It's like getting inspired. However, because this is the context of revenge, then that man... Nicolas... seemed to have been whispered by the demons about the method of revenge he could choose.Nicolas widened his eyes in shock that finally his heart and mind connected. Establishing an answer to his contemplation during this time.“I will take over the Barton Group companies, subdue the Trallington Family, then destroy them from within!”Nicolas cast his revenge spell. His pupils were flashing red with burning coals. Yes… the young man had finally made up his mind.****In just one night, Nicolas finished writing an essay and motivation letter which was used as
“Well, okay. As comfortable as you are." Nicolas didn't want to argue over pleasantries. He didn't want to be bothered either. “Now, leave the bicycle there and come with me to the clinic. I don't want you to find out that your knee fracture was caused by being hit by my car and it got worse because you weren't recognized earlier."Keenan's face went sour. "You seem to be praying for a crack in my knee, huh."Nicolas chuckled. "Hahaha, sorry. But you know what I mean," he chuckled savory. “Come. Leave the bike there and I'll call someone to pick up your bike and take it to a repair shop."Sixth finally complied. There is nothing wrong with following the words of this rich man's son. Yes, this Nicolas is definitely a rich man's son. "You really make it difficult for me," grumbled Keenan, even though he had only met Nicolas for a few minutes. "I should be in class by now.""Just relax. Your grades won't be red just because you missed one meeting," said Nicolas driving casually, heading
Nicolas hides the partial return of his memories from everyone, including Dianne and Keenan.It turned out that this boy's childhood had preceded him, ahead of the closest moments of his life now. A very bleak childhood, filled with trauma and disappointment toward family. As painful as it was to remember, at least Nicolas now knew that he actually had a family, he wasn't the lonely man that people in this country knew him to be.In reality, Nicolas is a Canadian man, born there, and has family connections there. In fact, America is the country where Nicolas was abandoned by his own family and became the new world that Nicolas grew up in and created for his life.Nicolas is now convinced that there was a reason why he finally got up and started his own company, Buenos Solar Company, whether it was to take revenge for his family who had abandoned him or something else that Nicolas can't quite remember.What is clear is that amid his amnesia, the man finally had a big picture of his pur
One day, Nicolas organized a special meeting to celebrate the company's achievements and strengthen the bonds among his employees. The meeting would be held at a charming and enchanting park located outside the city.Nicolas, accompanied by his loyal deputy director, Keenan, and the ever-efficient intern secretary, Dianne, set about organizing a most memorable event. The garden was a place full of vibrant flowers, tall trees, and cool air.The three worked tirelessly to transform the garden into a pleasant atmosphere. They hung colorful lanterns on the branches of the trees, set up tables decorated with beautiful flowers, and arranged comfortable seating for all the employees. The air was filled with excitement and anticipation as the day of the meeting approached.On the day of the event, employees arrived dressed in their finest, ready to enjoy a day filled with festivities. The garden was filled with laughter and chatter as everyone marveled at the enchanting atmosphere.Nicolas, K
Agatha looked at her. "That's very kind of you, Dianne. It's not easy to lie to the person you love and then say that you don't want him to give you anything more than what he has already given.""Agatha..." Dianne was speechless."Oh, that's right, you don't really love Nicolas, do you?" Agatha smiled seductively.Dianne said nothing but looked at her. "Lately I've been thinking more and more about my lies. At first, it was okay for me to lie to him but then as my feelings started to grow, I couldn't bear to keep lying to Nicolas."Agatha just nodded her head. She did not know how to respond.The two of them finished their pedicure manicure while chatting about their respective jobs."Then, let's go to the cinema," Agatha said after a while as the two came out of the 'Alhera Beauty' shop."I can't believe you had to miss out on a second film experience with Nicolas," Agatha snapped, her feet stepping up the escalator and followed by Dianne.Dianne finally smiled. "I can't help it, I'
Dianne takes Nicolas into her cozy kitchen, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air. On the table are several paper bags filled with exotic coffee beans, as if this chalet has been transformed into a coffee lover's paradise.Nicolas looked astonished at this sight. He didn't see these materials when he left for the office this morning."Since when did the penthouse kitchen become like this?" grinned Nicolas, sitting on one of the stools in the kitchen set."You have a coffee machine, but you don't have much coffee in this kitchen," Dianne said as she picked up a small cup and placed it under the coffee machine, ready to extract the coffee grounds she had pressed and attached to the machine.Nicolas just watched Dianne silently, not knowing that his fiancée had a passion for coffee. But, he was sure that what Dianne wanted to say was not just to show her skill in extracting coffee powder into espresso.Dianne doesn't talk much and focuses on her activities. She successfu
"Where is Dianne? Why my lovely girl hasn’t shown up yet?"Nicolas glanced at the watch on his wrist as it was already 10 AM. They were supposed to be at the conference center where Nicolas was giving his speech about the new project he had signed with the partner company.However, the girl, his secretary and lover, had not yet appeared. He had to hug Dianne first in order to achieve composure during the ceremonial speech and ribbon-cutting later."Come on, Dianne. He said he was just fixing a stuck zipper on his skirt," Nicolas grumbles, smoothing the tie around his neck. In the near future, Nicolas would not be appointing his new deputy or assistant as Keenan's replacement. He would leave the position vacant for the time being.The CEO received several surprised looks from employees in front of the lift on the same floor, as everyone knew that Nicolas was supposed to be in the conference center.In reply to the astonished look and respectful greeting, Nicolas just nodded formally. A
"All this time I had forgotten that moment, without realizing, I had made a mistake and just forgot about it. Even though my mistake was about Keenan's sister's life," Nicolas continued. "To be honest, until Keenan mentioned his sister's name, I didn't really remember, but I finally remembered that during my college internship, I had reported an individual who leaked the data of the company where we were both interning.""Did that happen before you started your current company?" asked Dianne, showing that she was paying full attention to Nicolas' confession.Nicolas nodded. "Long before that, when I was far from mature. I reported that person, who was one of Keenan's sisters, even though that woman had begged me not to report her and to repent.""Hmm, I see." Dianne nodded.Nicolas pulled his head away from Dianne's shoulder out of pity for the girl to support his heavy back for so long. Instead, Nicolas hugged Dianne's body to seek warmth from his girl. "I didn't even care about that
Now, Dianne knows what really happened to this father and son, Andreas and Nicolas. Fate was too cruel to them. Too many things have made Nicolas as cold-hearted as he is now, but in the midst of his cold heart, Dianne will be the only warmth for him.By Nicolas, he no longer cares if Andreas is his biological father, the man is just like a parasite to him. It was enough for him to endure the man in silence and that's why no one in the public knew Nicolas' family secrets in the past including his extended family.Nicolas manages to make himself known as a single man, which is just a cover for his image, a cover for the various wounds he has been hiding. Finally, Dianne will know all that through the past that Nicolas will tell her later."Now, let my girl go!" shouted Nicolas with a strong growl. He knew that talking to Andreas wouldn't solve the problem at all. But what could he do, he didn't know what else to do."My brother is being held captive, Nicolas!" exclaimed Dianne in betwe
Seeing that things were getting out of control, Nicolas finally confessed. This situation shows that he can no longer hide this secret."What Laura and Tania said is true, Ma... Pa," Nicolas said softly. It was useless to deny everything, the evidence was so strong, and he also didn't want to continue this lie anymore."Nicolas... what do you mean, child?" Mrs. Bianca pressed her chest in pain. It hurt to hear this confession from her son."In the past, Georgia and Andreas were in a relationship. They were dating and Georgia got pregnant," Nicolas explains. "I was so sorry and couldn't bear to see Georgia's downfall. I finally agreed to marry Georgia to protect her dignity. At first, I just felt sorry for her and wanted to help her, but then my feelings for her grew and now I really love her very much."Georgia who was sitting next to Nicolas could only look down to hide her tears. She couldn't bear all this, her heart was so broken because finally the old wound was reopened, even now
BREAK!!"SHUT UP!" Andreas kicked the table because he didn't want to hear any more of that nonsense from Keenan. "Now give me the tape!" he scolded in a threatening tone.Keenan, who was not at all intimidated, smiled and shrugged his shoulders. Of course, the purpose of coming here was to give the recording to Andreas."I can guess what will happen," Keenan grinned to himself as he waited for the audio recording of the conversation between him and Georgia to be sent to Andreas' mobile phone. "Surely after this Andreas will be furious with Georgia. And... their household will be even more fractured, shattered into pieces," he mused.Andreas now had the tape. His face was still as red as the tie he was wearing. He struggled to control his emotions in order to protect his dignity in front of Keenan."Has the recording been sent completely?" Keenan wanted to make sure.Andreas was silent, his breathing was ragged and he didn't know what action he would take with this footage."You'd bet
After praising her for being such a genius, Keenan immediately grabbed his car keys and intended to come visit Georgia at her office.In his usual black car, Keenan drove to the location where Georgia was now.As soon as he arrived at the restaurant that was only a hundred kilometers away from the parking lot of Georgia's office, Keenan immediately entered and cast his eyes over the rows of tables in the restaurant.Her eyes immediately caught Georgia's figure sitting by the window. Alone and looking pensive. In natural style, Keenan pretended to be surprised when he met Georgia and sat in front of her."Well, what a coincidence that you're here, Georgia," he grinned, placing his car keys on the table. "Are you alone?"Georgia nodded. "Are you alone? What are you doing here?" Georgia wondered. She thought Keenan's office was far enough away that there was no way he would have traveled that far for lunch to this restaurant."Ah, I had a lunch appointment with a friend, but it turns out
Since then, Andreas' attitude has slowly changed and he has become cold towards Georgia. For the past few days, the two of them have been communicating less and less. On the one hand, Andreas is busy with his work and so is Georgia whose career is getting smoother and better.However, Georgia certainly felt the change in her man. The few times she tried to engage Andreas in conversation, he would pull away and say that he was tired and worn out.There was a nagging feeling in Georgia's mind that Andreas was still angry with her."I already apologized," Georgia thought in a sad tone as she sat pensively in the room. "I even begged by prostrating myself in front of him, was that not enough?" Slowly, Georgia's tears welled up in her eyes.He turned his head towards the bathroom whose door was closed. The man had taken a shower immediately after waking up in the morning. Normally Andreas would ask Georgia to prepare his clothes for going out but it had been over a week since he had asked
Mrs. Bianca and Dianne chatted until it was getting late. The sun had moved from the top of the head to the western horizon. Mrs. Bianca went into the house first as her knees began to ache when evening came.Dianne, who was just about to enter the house, saw Nicolas' car entering their yard. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her lips because her man was home.Dianne took Nicolas straight up to the room and let him clean up first. Meanwhile, Dianne brought the remaining pieces of fruit into the room for her man to eat."How was work?" asked the woman who wanted to know what Nicolas had been doing at the office all day."As usual." Nicolas dried his hair, the man had just finished showering and his body now felt very fresh. "Ah, yes. But there's something I want to tell you." He remembered as he rubbed the white towel on his head.The man glanced at Dianne who was sitting on the bed while Nicolas was inside the sink room which could be seen from the direction of the bed."What's the story
"Stop messing with my life, Father!" shouted Nicolas in frustration. He had no idea that he, Dianne, and Andreas could be in such a heartbreaking moment.What man wouldn't have a dilemma when the girl he loved was being held captive by his father? Truly, this was Nicolas' worst nightmare in his entire life.Andreas grinned while showing his row of yellow teeth, to be honest, the man had never considered Nicolas as his son, but rather his financial source all along. That way, he could continue to capitalize on this ill-fated relationship."If you want to blame me, then wouldn't you rather blame the universe for having you born as my flesh and blood!" grinned Andreas, tightening his hold on Dianne.Nicolas shook his head. "This time I've had enough! You think I can't put you in jail just because a bastard like you is my father?" he snarled."You know nothing about my past, you should respect me!" added Andreas, not to be outdone."You think I don't know what your past is like to have me
