Rocky laughed as he said, “You’re so brutal to cut off their escape.”Zenovia’s eyes were cold. “Let’s wait for the good news.”At a sanatorium in a small town somewhere…Edison waited in front of the door with two men in black. Nollace and Colton were in the study, having a serious discussion with the director of the sanatorium.Almost all the patients in the courtyard were from all walks of life. Some were reading, some were zoning out, and some were talking to each other.It was calm and clean.Daisie sat on the stairs with her head resting on her hands in thought.Freyja walked next to her and sat down. “This short holiday isn’t very fun.”Daisie sighed. “Who knew this was going to happen?”She would be lying to say she wasn’t upset. They finally had a few days of holiday, but this happened.Nollace and Colton walked out, then Daisie stood up and heard Nollace say, “The director is going to let us stay here for a night.”Freyja was surprised. “Why don’t we just go back
Nollace looked at her and asked, “Do you wish that I could remember?”“Of course, there are debts to settle,” muttered Daisie.He leaned in closer. “What debts?”Daisie looked away and said, “I won’t tell you.”He smiled. “Alright, just keep it in mind. I’ll accept any punishment for that.”Daisie chuckled. “I’m not going to punish you.”“You’ll feel bad.”She got up and cheekily said, “Yes, I will, so you’re not allowed to sleep with me anymore.”Nollace paused before chuckling. “That’s too cruel.”Daisie was already halfway up the stairs when she turned back and said, “I’m going to annoy you!”The next day…They said their goodbyes to the director and left the place.Daisie kept yawning ever since she got into the car. Freyja sat close to her and whispered, “Did you two sneak up for some fun last night?”Daisie pushed her away. “No.”“When I fell asleep, it was already after 1:00 a.m., but you weren’t back yet. Tsk, I was wondering why you like sneaking around so much.”
Zenovia was waiting for news and made a few phone calls, but none of them went through. She sat on the couch with a pit in her stomach. Suddenly, the door opened, and the server came in. Zenovia stood up and wanted to say something but saw Diana showing up with some men, so her expression changed. “Mrs. Knwoles?”Her guards went up after seeing the people. “What’s the meaning of this?”Diana sat on the couch and said, “You don’t need to ask me what you’ve done.”Zenovia tried hard to remain calm. ‘Did she find out?‘And the calls that never went through, were they caught!?’Zenovia tried to remain calm. “I know you have a bone to pick with me, but I don’t know what I’ve done to make you so hostile toward me.”“Why are you so annoying? Aren’t you self-conscious?” Diana stood up and went straight to the point. “You think your plans would work by putting my daughter-in-law in danger to force my son to compromise? You’re pathetic.”Zenovia shook with anger. “I’m pathetic? Nollac
Unfortunately, no one knew the truth. At the police department…Zenovia was agitated in the interrogation room. “You don’t have evidence that I did anything!”The female police officer sitting across from her opened his notebook. “What if we could present evidence?”She was shocked. The police officer placed the notebook in front of her. “The suspect has pointed out that you were behind it. We have a recording of it too.”Zenovia was stunned. They had recorded it!When she was arrested, she had guessed that the three men were caught, but she had only verbally agreed she would give them $100,000 Even if they ratted her out, they had never received the money, so she would know how to distance herself from them. Her hope of getting away was shattered when she found out that they had recorded their conversation.Her eyes were red when she barked, “I’m not the mastermind! It was Rocky Wansell! He planned everything!”Yes, she should say Rocky helped her! She wasn’t going down
The Skull Club was a gang from the new West District. They were a huge gang that spanned from Moriwch to Stoslo and usually collected protection money for the nightclubs and were giving out illegal loans on the side.The club was made up of outlaws and would do anything as long as the price was right. Most importantly, they wouldn’t betray the people who hired them. That was their rule.Donald chuckled, then slowly drank his whiskey. “Great, Bear, get someone to follow Young Mr. Knowles around.”The man named Bear was curious. “Young Mr. Knowles? Aren’t you working together?”Donald kept his eyes on the glass before looking back. “There’s no such thing as a long-term partner. I don’t trust him.”A week after Zenovia was arrested, she was sent back to Haniston for her trial. She was sentenced to five years in prison and two years of probation because of attempted murder. She was barred from leaving the country forever.She went from a highly regarded upper-class lady to a convict.
Daisie smiled. “That's all the more reason for me to sharpen myself up.”“Are you willing to leave Nollace behind, though?”Daisie was stumped.Xyla chuckled. “If you want to return to your own country, it means you have to separate from Nollace. You two will need to maintain a long-distance relationship. Are you not worried that your beloved Nolly will fall in love with someone else?” Daisie was tongue-tied, and she grabbed the cup tightly. Suddenly, a chuckle rang out behind her. “You should probably stop teasing her.”Xyla turned her head around and saw Yorrick standing behind her with Xena.She stretched her arm forward to get Xena and chuckled. “I’m not teasing her. I’m just giving her a warning.”Yorrick looked toward Daisie and asked, “So what do you think?”Daisie pressed her lips thin and replied, “I… I don’t know…”“Both of you are still young.” Yorrick sat on the couch and said calmly, “Life is a long journey of trials and tribulations. If you two separate just b
Both of them turned their heads to look at Colton and asked at the same time. “Then who is it for?”Colton was obviously not happy with the surprising bond between the two. He snatched the cup of coffee away from Freyja’s hand and said, “They are both for me. Do you have a problem with that?”“Umm…” His friend scratched his head and waved his hand. “Alright, alright. I’ll go buy one myself.”When Freyja was about to leave, Colton stopped her. “Where are you going?”She smiled. “I already brought you the coffee that you asked for, so I can leave already, right?”“You promised me that you would listen to everything I tell you until I say stop.” Colton approached her as a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. “I haven’t said stop yet.”Freyja took a deep breath as she tried her best to suppress the rage that was building inside of her.Not only did she lose the surfing game to him a month ago, but he also saved her. She had agreed to his request to be his "personal assistant”.
Daisie buried herself in Nollace’s chest and clutched at his clothes. “You need to promise me. Promise me that you won’t fall in love with another woman.”A laugh spilled from Nollace’s throat as he said, “I’ll not fall in love with anyone other than you, Daisie. You can have my word.” He looked toward the corner, and his gaze turned grim.He couldn’t promise Daisie a good future since he hadn’t gotten rid of Donald yet. Therefore, rather than letting Daisie stay by his side, it would be better for him to clear all the obstacles and bring the Knowles back to their feet first. When that happened, he would be able to go see her with his head held high. A week later, at the Hilton Villas…After Daisie submitted her graduation application to the college, she had been at home these days preparing her resume for management companies. Waylon made a cup of coffee, brought it to the study room, and put it on the table. He glanced across the monitor and said, “Why don’t you return to
