Chapter 3 - Emily

Sensitive as she was, Selena quickly noticed that something was obviously wrong with her bestie's voice. Her voice on the phone panicked as she asked with urgency, "Nina, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you! Tell me, I promise to make that person's life a living hell!"

On hearing Selena's protective words,  warmth instantly suffused Nina's ice-encased heart. She replied teasingly, the unpleasantness in her heart fading away temporarily.

"How are you so sure that I was the one who got bullied and not the one bullying people?"

Almost without thinking, Selena replied arrogantly, "Even if they got bullied, it's their honour to be bullied by you."

Nina instantly laughed out loud, feeling carefree for the first time after finding out about Justin's affair.

On the other end of the phone, Selena inaudibly breathed out a sigh of relief listening to her friend's carefree laughter. No one knew how scared she was hearing Nina's obviously wrong tone and now listening to her laughter, she felt relieved and at the same time thought to herself that whatever the problem was, it would have to wait until she was face-to-face with Nina.

She never believed that there was an unsolvable problem in this world, only people who were unwilling to try!

"I am back, Nina darling! Come pick me up at the airport. I'll be waiting for you, don't lemme wait for too long, okay?", Selena said.

"Okay Lena... I'll be there in a moment, just give me a few minutes."

After hanging up, Nina quickly composed herself and drove towards the airport.

AT NIGHT KINGDOM

The Night Kingdom was the most luxurious entertainment hub in Nova City. It had everything you could ever imagine for entertaining either yourself or business partners.

It's luxuriousness was apparent in its garage. Various luxury cars ranging from Bugatti, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and others whose prices you couldn't even begin to imagine could be found parked neatly over there.

It had three floors. Two of which was open to normal rich customers while the top floor had three suites; Heaven, Earth, Stars. The Heaven suite belonged to the mysterious owner of the club and wasn't for booking while the Earth and Stars suite were mostly booked by the mega rich and powerful.

Currently at the top floor, inside the most luxurious Heaven suite, the situation appeared obviously tense. Three handsome men who looked like they had walked out of an magazine cover sat inside the room while another stood beside one of the men.

The three gazes all looked in the same direction with a gloomy and sinister look in their eyes. The object of their stare, a seductive looking woman was kneeling on the floors as she sobbed heartbreakingly.

It was supposed to be a particularly moving scene but none of men in the room felt anything towards it. In fact, Justin who was sitting on the sofa stared at the woman crying with deep coldness and even killing intent. He wished nothing but to strangle the woman to death right then and there but repressed the thought after thinking of the consequences. 

Not to mention that even though he had the power to make sure he could take her life cleanly and wouldn't even be able held responsible for it, he didn't want to dirty his hands because of someone like her since he found her unworthy of doing so.

Moreover, it wasn't time yet after all, he hadn't gotten the information he wanted to know from her mouth yet..

"I will ask you once again, how had you been able to get inside the suite that day?"

Yes, this was the woman he had found on his bed and whom he had supposedly cheated with.

"Young Sir, I really do not know anything! You have to believe me when I say that I also can't tell how I found myself inside your room. I was also surprised to find myself on the bed, with you beside me that day as well. I must have been set-up, Young Sir!" Emily looked up pitifully with her puffed up eyes at the gorgeous looking man who looked like he walked right out of a painting.

He was silver-haired and had deep ocean blue aquiline eyes which seemed to see through everything making her panic for no reason as she feared the fact that he might have seen through her, yet those eyes also made him seem even more beguiling. He also a straight nose with a perfect jawline and his thin lips looked absolutely kissable, making her swallow involuntarily.

Then, she thought with hatred, jealousy and resentment to herself.

"We had both debuted at the same time together but why was her road to stardom so smooth while mine was filled with obstacles! And what right does that b**ch has to receive the love of such a perfect man? But anyway, it doesn't matter now anymore for he now belongs to me because I am now pregnant with his child!"

A cold and sharp look from the man in question ruthlessly snapped her out of her daydream. She then began to tremble when she remembered the rumors of his ruthlessness. With one word he could decide her life and death, so she definitely couldn't let him find loopholes in her story. If he finds out it was all a set-up to separate him and Nina....

Emily shuddered just thinking of the consequence. She definitely couldn't let him find out! Never!

"I slept with you that night?" Justin asked again, looking sharply at the woman trying to decipher any change in her demeanor.

But he was bound to be disappointed as the woman who was definitely a born actress blushed furiously like a newly bloomed flower, only he couldn't feel any tenderness or attraction towards the woman. But if it was Nina....

Realizing his thoughts were moving in the wrong path, he quickly cleared his thoughts to focus on the matter at hand.

But after questioning the woman for a while, Justin discovered the fact that he couldn't get any useful Intel from her since she was very tight lipped. Turning to Larry who was standing beside him faithfully, he ordered with deep coldness in his voice.

"Move her to the villa in the outskirts of the town and tell them to watch over her well."
