Chapter 7

Autor: One Three One
Nathan appeared on the massive screen. He was standing at the entrance of the courthouse, wearing a black-and-white suit. He looked utterly calm despite his pale complexion.

Hailey slowly turned her head, her eyes locked on the frail figure on the massive screen.

On the screen, the reporter asked pointedly. "According to the case file, you actually tried to reach out for help when you got drugged at Nocturnal Bar. Did you really have no friends or acquaintances nearby at that moment, Mr. Zelle

    Nathan's POVA year later, beyond the studio window in Northern Elaria, snow-dusted cedars stood in the cold as afternoon sunlight streamed through the glass and fell across the canvas. I stood before the easel, taking my time with each brushstroke.Bobby Hall, my junior who had just returned from home, worked on his canvas while sharing some gossip. "I heard that the Heath family is completely ruined. "Andrew went off the rails the moment Hailey dumped him. He even showed up at Somerville Group to cause a scene. He was sentenced to ten years in prison after Hailey turned over evidence of his embezzlement to the police."Upon hearing that, the young woman beside us chimed in. "Somerville Group isn't doing any better either. Hailey risked all her capital to go up against the Heath family back then, and both sides ended up suffering heavy losses. Somerville Group is nothing but a shell of a company these days."Bobby whispered, "I heard some people from the Heath family broke Haile

    Hailey wasn't even sure how she made her way back to the wedding venue.Andrew was inside the lounge. He was still clad in Nathan's wedding suit as he casually fixed his hair in the mirror.When he heard the door being kicked open, Andrew caught sight of a disheveled Hailey through the reflection, a smile tugging at his lips as if none of this came as a surprise.Hailey grabbed him by the throat, her eyes bloodshot with rage. "You knew all along, didn't you? You sent that message right then just to ruin Nathan! You deliberately called me from the police station to stop me from finding out the truth! You played me, Andrew!"Andrew flushed from being choked, but he still managed a twisted smile. "Did I force you to hang up on his phone call and ignore his messages? Did I force you to break his right leg? You can drop the whole heartbroken victim act now! You were the one who chose to betray Nathan, not me!"Hailey's face flushed red with fury as she snarled, "You knew damn well how

    Nathan appeared on the massive screen. He was standing at the entrance of the courthouse, wearing a black-and-white suit. He looked utterly calm despite his pale complexion.Hailey slowly turned her head, her eyes locked on the frail figure on the massive screen.On the screen, the reporter asked pointedly. "According to the case file, you actually tried to reach out for help when you got drugged at Nocturnal Bar. Did you really have no friends or acquaintances nearby at that moment, Mr. Zeller?"Nathan looked right at the camera and replied softly, "I did."The reporter continued pressing him. "Why didn't you ask that person for help, then?"Nathan furrowed his brow, seeming reluctant to relive that nightmare of a night. "I did. I sent her a message asking for help and called her too. I was in the private room right across from her when the whole thing took place, separated by only one hallway."In that instant, the crowd erupted into an uproar.The reporter's voice rose with i

    In the meantime, the massive doors glided open as the spotlight shifted, illuminating the entrance of the banquet hall.Hailey quickly looked up, desperate to see who had arrived. She froze the moment she saw who was approaching. She realized that the man slowly walking toward her wasn't Nathan, whom she had been desperately looking for, but Andrew instead.She stared intently at the custom wedding suit Andrew was wearing. Nathan had spent countless late nights designing the wedding suit himself. He had waited three years to wear it, but now, another man was wearing it.She felt a sudden pang in her chest, her face clouding over with rage. She grabbed Andrew's wrist and barked, "Take it off!"Andrew smiled faintly. "What's the matter? Does Nathan's wedding suit look bad on me, Hailey?"Hailey's eyes flared with fury. "I won't repeat myself! Take it off this instant! It belongs to Nathan! Who allowed you to touch it?"Andrew's smile widened. "I've already slept with his fiance

    Hailey's heart sank. She hurriedly called her lawyer to handle Andrew's situation, only finding the time to look around the villa once he arrived.In the end, the police officers had to suspend the arrest due to a lack of solid evidence.Hailey noticed that aside from Nathan's personal set of keys and case files, the cabinet at the foyer was completely bare. She looked around and found that there were no festive wedding decorations anywhere in the massive villa, only an empty, echoing silence.She scowled as she opened every door in the villa, only to find no sign of Nathan. She stared at the empty house and realized with a start that, except for a subtle lingering scent of jasmine in the air, not a single trace of Nathan remained in this villa.She stared at the empty closet, her mounting anxiety growing at an alarming speed.Andrew strolled up beside her and said casually, "You should just give it a rest. Nathan is obviously still throwing a fit over what happened earlier. H

    I stared at the hospital ceiling, my expression hollow.Hailey sat beside my hospital bed, holding my cold hand in hers with an expression brimming with remorse. "W-We'll find a way to treat your leg… There has to be a way to treat it, Nathan…"I glanced at Andrew, whose eyes were brimming with tears, before shifting my gaze toward Hailey. I then said faintly, "I've injured my leg for the second time now, Hailey."Hailey immediately stiffened.Three years ago, amidst a heavy blizzard, Andrew dragged me into a "quick reply game" to test our significant others' loyalty. Ten minutes later, a Maybach pulled over and whisked Andrew away. I, on the other hand, was left stranded in the freezing blizzard.I eventually passed out in the freezing snow and remained unconscious all night. I came to with terrible frostbite on my right leg, which had nearly required amputation.Hailey had once again ruined my right leg, all for the sake of Andrew.It was clear that the two of them remembere
