Thank you so much for your Golden Ticket. It was a massive support. And thanks to all my readers also (even the ghost readers, lol).

Thank you all so much.

....

When ordered to give them privacy, the nurse gave none. Rather, she stood before the door and glued her ear to the door. Curious for information, she was extremely careful not to be noticed.

Standing at the door in an awkward position for almost a minute, she frowned as she got bored of the conversation going on in there. It was all about who visited and nothing more.

She wasn’t getting the answers she came for. About to leave, she heard his name and immediately, her interest rate went from 0-100.

Her expression tightened, "Mr. Adams," she muttered to herself. Instantly, she took out her phone and sent a message across.

[Your guess was right. She knows where Mr. Adam is]

Putting her phone into her uniform pocket, she was torn between eavesdropping for more information or walking away.

She can’t risk it if someone catches her doing this but still, her ears were hungry and she needed to feed them.

Pressing her ear back on the door, she frowned hearing some emotional friends talk and then her brows furrowed when she heard them argue.

A smile graced her face when the argument turned heated. And hearing them talk about not trusting themselves, her smile increased.

Remembering how her plan to inject the liquid into Adele’s body failed because of Jocelyn’s presence, she daydreamed how easy it would be once Jocelyn leaves here and surely, Arissa wouldn’t be stationed here so, their argument was a blessing to her.

"Boss would be so proud," she murmured to herself, and with a satisfied grin, she walked back to the stationed seat she have to manage for a while.

....

Nicklaus rubbed his brows with tiredness. His mood had been deadpanned since he left the higher-ups as he buried himself in his laptop screen and overview some reviews.

He had been working non-stop since last night. He would have stopped working hours ago but each second he stares out of his keyboard, he sees her.

It had only been a day since he last saw her but still, he badly wants to see her again and feel her in his arms.

He can’t believe he was busy thinking about some annoying wife of his when he was supposed to be resting for the next pile of paperwork but still, he couldn’t help it.

It was all weird and strange as he don’t know how that woman took over his mind this way or what she did to him.

And again, did Geal not promise all those wired rubbish feelings would leave the moment they have sex? He trusted Geal but now he just failed him.

Even after having sex with her, nothing changed. If anything, whatever he felt for her only connected more and he couldn’t understand why.

His eyes darted over to his phone in deep thought. He already has her number but calling was an issue. He knows Arissa, and she might answer with curiosity to know who has the number but when she realizes he’s the one, she could ignore his call till the end of time.

He could remember not talking to her before he left. He tried talking to her but each word he said was replied with a blank indifferent stare as she was still annoyed with whatever she was annoyed at or whoever she was annoyed at.

People get punished for acting that way towards him but her....she gets nothing as punishment which was weird because he ought to do something to her as her disrespect was high but he could no longer even raise his voice at her anymore.

When did he become such a softie?

Forcefully shutting his laptop, he glanced at his phone just beside him. His fingers itched to pick the device up and call her with just one click.

He was becoming annoyed, he was never a man who lets his emotions show but ever since he met her, beginning from that night, all she does was crumble his walls, break his principles, and make his emotions run wild.

Nicklaus had never expected that she would be his wife. That night, was his first soft sex. He don’t know why but he took it upon himself to make her first night worth it. He had never f*cked a virgin as he always loved it hardcore but from that night, she broke his principles and it was getting worst each second.

And stupid he would relax with her, forgetting about his promise not to be too relaxed with a woman. In deep concentration, he tried to connect with the real him - the one who cares about no one.

However, after a minute of trying to connect to whatever real self he was hoping to connect to, he found nothing and it frustrated him more when her scent wafted through his nostrils and her dazzling eyes came into his view like she was just before him.

"Fuck!" he cursed at his hallucinations as he was beginning to lose control of himself further. He pinched the skin between his brows to stop himself from blaming his desk for rage.

Feeling tortured, he grabbed his phone with haste. The moment he pressed the on button, his brows tightened when he saw messages from Graham - his new bodyguard for Arissa - attached with a video.

Fastly, he unlocked his phone and went through the messages. Messages from Graham were important well at least until he leaves here.

[Mrs. ate nothing for breakfast before leaving for the hospital] he frowned seeing. He would have to call his mother, she might be feeling lonely, or did she eat outside? He was beginning to get worried again.

Another read;

[She’s having a conversation with Logan (video below)

Reading this, his frown deepened. Logan, again?

Without hesitation, he played the video and his brows immediately tightened as his fist clenched his phone tightly like he might break it soon.

With gritted teeth, he listened to their conversations which left him confused because his doubt seemed to be false since Arissa was all distant.

His gaze darkened, and he clenched his fist to the point where blue gains showed from them when he saw how close Logan held his wife.

His eyes moved over to Arissa and the anger in his heart grew as he clenched his jaw to stay sane. His breathing turned uneven as controlling himself became hard when he saw her so close to Logan that way.

It was as if they would kiss. He waited, staring at the screen without blinking as he focused on their lips and eyes, feeling enraged.

With this rate of anger, he was sure to kill Logan at this moment if he goes any closer to Arissa’s face but then, an unexpected chuckle left his lips when he saw the next scene and how she slapped Logan.

It was sudden but stil, his dark eyes were suddenly filled with pride and then another slap came which was now comical to him. Unconsciously, the weird feeling in his heart was added with twenty more points.

And then his eyes darkened again when he saw how Logan watched the couple behind the closed door. He knows the people in there but the look across Logan’s eye was what he doesn’t understand but one thing was made clear.

He has to protect the Knewman couple.
