You'll love it."Alicia rolled her eyes lazily, she then chuckled. Her laugh sounded hoarse and melodious at the same time. "You need to lose that confidence, Nic.""I can't.

But there was nothing colder than living in loneliness and emptiness.Having managed to gather consciousness from her deep sleep, Alicia walked towards the source of the smell. It seemed to be the aroma of cake. A smell quite similar to the one she had encountered in the kitchen of Emma, Nicholas' mother."Nicholas?"Alicia's husky voice made Nicholas look up.

Did you sleep well last night?"Alicia bent her forehead, then pointed at Nicholas' hand which was still waving in the air. "You made food with the gloves you used to hold dead

He waved the gun in his hand and pointed the butt of the gun at Alicia."You will see everything you have disappear forever, Alicia," said the masked man.Nicholas had just been shot. He was shot in the leg, but the wound was enough to keep Nicholas from chasing the masked man who was now waving as he walked away from the two of them.The man's laughter was still haunting, as Alicia tried to untie the ropes that bound her."Nicholas!

CHAPTER 106Angela's footsteps stopped as she entered the meeting room of the chief commissioners. Her red heels perfectly matched the red dress she wore that afternoon.
