The night was dark and heavy with anticipation as Nicholas set out on his mission. His heart pounded in his chest as he thought about what he was about to do - risk everything to get justice for Rose. The phone calls from her had gone unanswered, but he knew that this was a sacrifice he had to make.Nicholas had stumbled upon a lead, a person who had information about the ones responsible for shooting Rose. It was a risky move, but he couldn't sit idly by while his girlfriend suffered. With determination burning in his eyes, he made his way to the location he had discovered.As he approached the address, Nicholas could feel the tension building within him. This was uncharted territory, a place where his bravery would be put to the ultimate test. He tightened his grip on the weapon he had brought along for protection, ready to face whatever came his way.Little did he know, his every move was being watched. The door swung open ominously, revealing a group of hooded figures. Before Nich
Ellen opened her eyes again for the umpteenth time in the day. She has been in the hospital for a few days and has only seen Nicholas once. She is sad and annoyed that she can't leave even if she wants to because Nicholas strictly instructed the hospital not to let her out. Nicholas was said to be on an emergency trip for the past few days which is why he could not come to the hospital. She thinks Nicholas is probably at home with Rose and lying about his trip. While she was still thinking about this, James walked in with some food. She scoffed and looked away. When the door opened, she has gotten to excited thinking it was Nicholas. They say when you think of someone too much, they are the next person you would see walking through the door. All that seems to be a lie. James gently put down the food bag he brought. His eyes scanned the room, hopefully waiting for her to look at him. It would be a lie at this point if he denies what he feels for Ellen. It's something he's always ke
In the quiet and secluded cafe, Rose met with Kay. She wasn't going there to meet with him officially yet. Also, she only wanted someone to talk to. She doesn't have any thoughts of apologizing to him for snapping at him yet. She met him already waiting for her there. He also got her favourite type of coffee. "You came quite early. Are you trying to make me feel guilty?" She sneered. He shook his head, "You are welcome to think that way. I'll be glad if you feel guilty at least." She took a sip of the coffee, "You must be so proud of yourself. It's annoying." Kay leaned in, concern etched on his face. "Any luck with finding out who shot you?" he asked gently.Rose sighed, shaking her head. "No, not yet. I've been trying, but it's been difficult to get any solid leads." "I'm sorry, Rose," Kay began, his face filled with concern. "I've been looking into it, but I haven't found any leads on who shot you."Rose nodded, understanding the complexities of their world. "It's okay, Kay
The next day, as Nicholas was reviewing the information about the men they had caught, Ellen entered his office. "Boss," she said in her usual confident tone, "what do you plan to do with those men you caught?" Nicholas looked at her, his expression serious. "I am going to make sure they face the consequences of their actions," he replied firmly. "But my main priority now is to find the real boss behind all of this." "There's someone else aside from the ones you already caught? I don't think those men are going to say the truth. You are a boss yourself, you know how everyone is trained to keep their mouths shut." Ellen tried to reason. "I know. The more reason I will make them confess even if they don't want to. I won't let them get away with what they did." He promised. "So... What do you have in mind? Do you have any leads on their boss?" Nicholas doesn't know why Ellen wants to dig further. He wants to believe it's not because she is trying to hide something. But he decided
Ellen walked out of the club trying to find Kay but she did not see him anywhere. She scoffed angrily. She had seen Kay watching the gate when she drove by earlier. She pretended to be going somewhere else to see who the person was. She parked the car somewhere closeby and watched Kay for as long as he stayed there. She knows no one would dare stay right in front of Nicholas's resident unless they want something. After watching the car leave, she decided to follow the person and found out it's a man. She saw the man chasing away everyone that came towards him so she tried. She is surprised to see how good looking he is and wondered what he could want. She decided to feed her curiousity by mentioning Rose. To her surprise, he reacted in a different way. She knows he is hiding something from her. She drove back to the villa and asked Nicholas to see her outside. She is ready to expose Rose though she may not have full evidence yet. If only Nicholas would investigate her, then everyt
Nicholas adjusted his seat to answer to her. The wind blew fast as if trying to blow them away. Rose adjusted her hair that scattered due to the effect of the wind. She adjusted her long floral gown flowing in the direction of the wind. Then she took a sip of the mango juice, then patiently waited for him to talk. In simple terms, he is in a state of shock. "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you not going to talk to me anymore? Why? Are you shocked that I know what you did before coming here?" She asked him in confusion. "That's not what happened." He tried to explain, "I actually came through the hospital road. I didn't want to waste time going back there and I decided to check on her. I didn't mean to go there before coming home." Rose nodded, even though she feels that he might be right. She didn't want to forgive him that easily. She's mad that Ellen is still doing everything to get his attention and he is actually giving her all of the attention too. "It doesn't matter
Rose is finally going out to meet with Kay. She needed to do this to stop herself from being in danger. Not only is she getting suspicious, a lot of people are after her life. Since Nicholas belongs to the elite society, it's easier for her to get caught. All of her victims are powerful and big people in the country. She also has some clients outside the country. She met with Kay at their usual café and found him waiting at the usual spot. After making sure the road was clear and no one was following her, she made her way inside the room. Kay stood up immediately he saw Rose, he went ahead to hug her catching her off guard. She wasn't expecting him to suddenly hug her like that. "Rose! I'm so glad you're okay. Does anywhere hurt? Are you good now? Do you need me to do anything for you?" He desperately asked. "Hey... Are you okay? What's up with you? You're acting weird." She said in confusion. Why is he acting like they didn't argue a lot and don't really have good
Rose did not know what to say. The problem she has been avoiding the whole time is now here. Even if she was going to get caught, never in her wildest dreams did she think that it would be Ellen. Ellen is the least person she wants talking about her right now. And here she is standing in front of Rose with that picture. "Why? You can't say anything anymore?" Ellen asked with an evil grin. Rose cleared her throat. It would be better to pretend and know how far Ellen knows. So she wouldn't make any mistakes and spill everything. "What do you want from me? You keep bothering me for no reason. You never really told me what you want. What should I do with this picture?" Rose asked Ellen. Ellen looked at Rose suspiciously. The audacity even after she has been caught baffles Ellen. "Are you saying you don't care if I tell Nicholas you have been seeing this man?" Rose scoffed, "He's my friend. What's wrong with seeing my friends? Is that a big deal?" Ellen bu
