Lahat ng Kabanata ng Nina; The real me: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

As the night crept in, the house became calm. The lights have suddenly gone off and none of them dare to go out for fear of what might happen. They depended on the moonlight filtered through the curtains.Nina looked at Henry, her eyes searching his face for any sign of reassurance. "Henry, how did you manage to raise such a huge amount of money so quickly?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry.Henry sighed, taking her hand in his. "I can't bear to let you stay with him so I borrowed it from friends," he said, his voice gentle but firm. "I requested a favor from everyone I could think of."Nina frowned, sensing there was more to the story. "And the rest of the money? The full hundred million? How did you get that?"Henry hesitated for a moment before meeting her gaze. "We added fake money to the real amount," he admitted. "Olivia suggested it since there was no more money coming our way. We mixed in about thirty million in fake bills."Nina's eyes widened in shock. "Fake money? Hen

The knock on the door in the early hours of the morning, made Nina's heart skip. She wasn't expecting anyone. “Could it be Marcus?” She whispered softly.She looked at the stairs, no one was in sight. She took a deep breath and walked towards the window to check if she could at least see the face of who was behind the door.“Oh my goodness!” She cried out softly as the knock came again for the fourth time. She walked into the kitchen, unsure of what she was looking for. After spending some minutes in the kitchen, she walked towards the door for the fifth time. “Why don't you say your last prayer?” A voice echoed in her thoughts. She turned to look at the house one last time and then she opened the door “Nina, happy belated birthday!” Olivia exclaimed, pulling her sister into a tight embrace. “We wanted to bring you something special.”Nina felt her heart leap from chest and then she smiled, her heart warming at the sight of her sister and mother standing on her doorstep. “So it was y

“Henry, what do you think about what happened last night?” Nina asked, trying to face her husband.“Sweetheart, i've told you not to worry about anything, just ignore any news from anyone. We just celebrated your birthday and we can't just let some worry take away the joy that he had.”“It's okay but…” Nina’s phone buzzed with an incoming call. She glanced at the screen, noting it was from an unknown number. “Who could this be?” She whispered softly.“Hello?” she answered.“Is this Nina?” a male voice asked.“Yes, who is this?” Nina asked, trying to keep her voice steady.“I just wanted to know if you were at home,” the voice said, ignoring her question.Nina’s suspicions were immediately aroused. “I’m sorry, but I can’t disclose my location to someone I don’t know. Who are you?”There was a pause on the other end before the line went dead. Nina stared at her phone, with her heart pounding. Something wasn’t right. She hurried downstairs to find Henry, who was in the living room, scrol

“Good morning, Mum” Olivia greeted as she stretched out her arms, but there was no response from her mother. She turned and became shocked to see her mother struggling.Out of fear, Olivia burst into Nina's room. "Nina, come quick! It's Mom. She’s not feeling well. I think it might be a heart attack!"“What!” Nina’s heart dropped. She leaped from her bed, without taking a moment to put on her robe. Henry, who had been sleeping lightly due to the stress of the past few days, woke up instantly at the sound of the door and Olivia's voice. Together, they rushed to Mrs. Dorothy’s room.Mrs. Dorothy lay on the bed, using her hand to hold her chest tightly. She was gasping for breath, her eyes wide with fear. Nina’s mind skipped several beats as she knelt beside her mother, trying to stay calm.“Mom, it’s going to be okay. We’re here,” Nina said in fear. “Henry, we need to get her to the hospital now!”Henry nodded and quickly helped Mrs. Dorothy into a sitting position, carefully lifting he

Night had fallen, and the sounds and movements in the hospital were gradually reducing. Henry had returned home to look after the kids, leaving Nina and Olivia to stay with their mother.“Please take care of yourself, you two.”“Sure we will, hug the kids for me.” Nina said as she left the arms of her husband.She returned to the room to sit beside her mother's bed, gently stroking her hand while Olivia paced about the room, unable to sit for a long time. The recent happenings had left both women clueless of what would happen next but they found comfort in each other's company as they kept watch over their mother."She looks so peaceful," Nina whispered, more to herself than to Olivia. "I hope she’s finally getting some rest."Olivia nodded, her eyes filled with worry. "She needs it. We all do."“I hope this ends soon sis.” Nina said as she squeezed her sister's hand.As they sat in silence, the door creaked open, and a nurse stepped in. She was young, with a kind face and a professio
