FAZER LOGINNATHALIE’S POV đ
–
“What are you talking about?” I asked curiously.
Harrison averted his gaze from me. He moved his gaze down to the floor.
I remained silent and did not take my gaze off him while waiting for whatever his answer would be.
After what seemed like more than a minute, he looked back at me.
“I want to know where he was taken before I had the accident.”
I didn’t ask any more questions.

~ AUTHOR’S POV đ» ~-Two days have passed since Madame Beatrice spoke to Veronica. Every day, every hour, she thinks about their conversation.Every time Beatrice thinks about their conversation, she cries, which leads to a breakdown. She screams and cries, throwing away everything she can hold.Night had fallen deep by then. Beatrice had managed less than an hour of sleep when a dream suddenly stirred from her sleep.“Every last one of you is despicable!” Beatrice screamed in rage. “May you all perish!”Mr. Ethan, who had just left his wife’s room to check on her, hurried back in the second he heard Beatrice’s scream.He caught Beatrice throwing away the pillows and comforter from the bed, which were the only things left in that room.“Beat...rice...”Hearing her husband’s voice, Beatrice felt no joy instead, her a
~ AUTHOR’S POV đ» ~-In the hotel room where Tyler is staying, he drinks alcohol alone while looking out the window, observing the city lights from various buildings.In the two days that have passed since that night, nothing else has been running through his mind but Nathalie.He wavered, uncertain whether to take Nathalie’s answer as it was, or to fight for his love, hoping one day she would open her heart to him.Lost deep in thought, he didn’t hear his phone ringing for nearly half an hour, nor did he hear Dashiell knocking and ringing the doorbell outside his hotel room.“Nathalie,” the name passed his lips without his knowledge. “My beloved... I love you more than my own life.”Meanwhile, Dashiell, who was outside of his hotel room, was slamming the door angrily.Dashiell took a deep breath, having figured out a way to get past the pa
NATHLIEâS POV đ-I let Tyler cry endlessly against my waist, waiting for him to stop.I never wanted to see him like this again, especially because of me.âTy...â I said, breaking the silence as his sobs subsided.He stayed wrapped around my waist. He moved his face away from my waist.âYouâre important to me... I canât stand you being like this because of me. And if I donât do this, thereâs a chance youâll never be free.â I swallowed hard, before continuing. âItâs better if end our friendship thatâs we already ruined.âHis eyes snapped toward me.It pained my heart to see Tylerâs eyes so red, brimming with wetness, and traces of dried tears on his face.I removed his embrace from my waist.I rose and reached into the drawer to take the ring heâd given me.When I looked back at him, he was already standing. His eyes were pleading through tears.I stepped closer.
NATHLIE’S POV đ-“What happened there?” Tyler asked as we entered the kitchen. “Why is the fridge like that? Where did that dent come from?”“Oh, that? I was cleaning and accidentally dropped the chair heavily against it. That’s why the fridge looks like that.” I gave the same excuse again, just as I had told Donna before.That was what happened when Calix slammed the chair against the fridge.If he had struck it twice that night, he would surely have completely ruined the fridge.“Does that still work? Do you want me to buy a new one tomorrow?” Tyler asked concernedly, then sat down.“There’s no need to buy a new one. The fridge still works perfectly, it just looks broken because the door is dented.”“Are you sure?”“Hm-hm. Don’t worry about that, Ty. Let’s eat. I’ve
