Lola’s POV

Together, we walked into the private suite. I had my hair packed up in a knot-twist bun. My lipstick was lightly applied and my purse was held firmly by her side.

I already have Anabel on the stand by to call the police in case anything happens that I couldn’t control.

We entered the room and waited for the guest to arrive. While waiting, Isaac offered me a drink and I pretended to take a sip while he watched.

After a moment, the door opened again and I lifted my head to see who the important guest was, expecting some old perverted man, but instead Nicholas Foster was standing there.

I couldn’t hide my shock, my eyes widened and frowned at the same time. I clenched my jaw as I glared at him.

What on earth is he doing here?

Before I could understand, Isaac stood up.

“Mr. Foster, I’ve brought my wife to you like you asked” he said.

My eyes flashed to him. That scumbag.

I was too infuriated. I got up fast, ready to lash out, but I was suddenly forced back with a migraine that hit me without a warning. Nicholas who was standing there, looked panicked at once, he took a step forward.

He turned to Isaac with a dark, smoldering gaze. ‘What the fuck did you do?” he growled.

Isaac spoke immediately.

“My wife is quite stubborn. I made sure she won’t be able to fight back” he replied.

I watched Nicholas clenched his fists at his sides, his eyes shifted to me, guilt and anger rushed crept on his countenance at once.

I grabbed my head, conflicted. I had clearly not taken a sip from the glass he gave me.

He leaned closer to me as I struggled with the pain. “You think you’re smart, I’m smarter” a malicious grin played at the corner of his lips.

My face scowled hard, but it was useless. My limbs were starting to feel too weak to move. I tried to grab on to him, but he thrust me off and walked up to Nicholas.

“She’s all yours now” he said with a creepy smile and left the room.

I lifted my gaze to Nicholas instantly, my heart threw a dagger at him. He rushed quickly at me and held me up.

“How could you?” I snapped at him, trying to push him off.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t think your psychopath husband would pull something like this” he said, but I wasn’t ready to hear it.

“Let’s get you out of here”

Nicholas said and grabbed her steadily. He tried to move, but suddenly he paused. Pain invade his expression slowly. His breaths suddenly felt too difficult to let out.

I stared at him wondering what was going on.

He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and exhaled dangerously. “Something is not right” he let out.

I let myself think. Despite not drinking, I was still drugged. I glanced around the spacious room and pushed Nicholas off as I noticed the incense lighted just at the entrance of the room.

When we entered earlier, I did not notice it. Isaac must have hidden it well. I turned to Nicholas whose eyes were already on me.

‘We were both drugged” I informed him.

A hard scowl came on his face, he quickly grab the glass on the table and rushed to me. He poured the liquid inside the incense and let out a hard breath.

“We really need to get out of there” he said again.

I could feel he was losing control.

He moved again to grab his phone and I did too.

‘Help’ I sent to Anabel.

We both turned to stared at each other and nodded to leave. Just then, a knock came on the door.

My heart stuttered in panic, guessing this was Isaac’s plot. He was trying to frame me as a cheat too. Whatever he was planning, I can’t let him succeed.

Nicholas moved to the door to unlock it and I tried to stop him.

“Are you crazy?” I tried to yell.

He didn’t answer, but pull the door opened instead. I covered my face with my palms while panting hard. But it was one of his men who walked in.

“The car is downstairs.” he said.

Nicholas nodded and turned to me.

I shook my head quickly. “No, that’s too risky. Isaac probably has someone ready to take pictures” I told him.

He paused.

‘Take us to another room instead” he said and the man nodded.

Together, we walked out of the room, with Nicholas’s jacket covering our heads.
