登入NICHOLE’S POVThe message on my phone screen said someone was standing outside with a gun, and my legs became weak as I stepped back from the window. I did not run or scream because I knew I had to stay calm to keep myself alive in this dark room.To my greatest surprise, the heavy glass window did not break, but the back door of the house burst open, and Raymond walked inside the room with dirty clothes and wild eyes. He was not holding a gun, but he held a big iron rod in his right hand, his breathing was heavy as he looked at me."You have to come with me right now, Nichole," Raymond said, walking toward me while his hand shook on the metal rod. "We can leave this city together today, and you can help me build my company again."I stood my ground and did not move a single inch away from him. "I am not going anywhere with you, Raymond," I said, making my voice firm and clear so he would know I was no longer afraid of his anger."You used to love me!" Raymond shouted, stepping close
NICHOLE’S POVThe television screen on the wall showed Mira’s face, and my hands trembled as I listened to her tell a complete lie to the whole world. She was sitting inside a bright news room, wearing a plain white dress and wiping small tears from her eyes like an innocent child. I stood in front of the screen with a cold feeling in my body because I knew that if I did not act right now, people would believe her clever stories and let her walk free again."Beatrice tricked me and used my good name to do bad things," Mira said on the television screen, holding a small tissue paper in her hand. "I did not know anything about the attack on Nichole at the old warehouse, and I am very sorry for all the pain she suffered."As anger boiled through my heart, I pressed the red button on my remote control to turn off the television set, and the room became very quiet. My heart was beating fast inside my chest as I walked over to my wooden desk. I pulled out my laptop computer and set it on
XAVIER’S POVThe white light above the hospital door stayed on for hours while the doctors worked inside the room. I sat on the hard plastic chair in the corridor, staring at the floor with my hands folded together.The main doctor finally walked out of the room, pulling off his face mask as he stopped in front of me. "Your mother is in very bad shape," the doctor said softly, looking at me with sad eyes. "Her two kidneys have stopped working completely, and she needs a new organ immediately if she is going to stay alive."My heart fell inside my chest as I listened to his words, knowing that all her anger and fights had finally broken her health. I stood up from the chair and walked toward the window, looking out at the city streets below.With my mother lying helpless on the hospital bed, I knew that those greedy business people would try to steal our family company before the week was over. I pulled out my phone and called the head manager at the main office building. "I am taking
RAYMOND’S POVThe bank manager called me on the phone early this morning to tell me that they were closing all my business accounts. I held the steering wheel of my car with cold hands, knowing that if I did not get fresh money today, I would go to prison before the sun set. I drove straight to Madam Hemilighton’s big office building, hoping to convince her to join her company with mine so I could use her name to borrow more cash.I walked into her room upstairs and sat opposite her at the table, trying to make my face look calm."My business is having a small problem, and the banks are bothering me," I said, leaning forward to look into her eyes. "If we join our two companies together today, we can become stronger and stop all our enemies."Madam Hemilighton looked at me with tired eyes, holding her gold pen. "I do not have much power left in me," Madam Hemilighton said, sighing as she rubbed her head. "Joining our businesses will cost me a lot of money.""It is the best way for us,
NICHOLE’S POVThe text message from the unknown number stayed on my phone screen, and my fingers trembled as I looked at the Slias in the mirror. Silas kept his eyes on the long road, holding the steering wheel softly. He looked calm, like the same good acquaintance who had been helping Xavier for a long time, but my heart was not settled and curious about the message on my screen. I gently pushed the phone back into my small bag and kept quiet.I knew that if I made any small mistake by reacting to it inside this car, those bad people could catch me again before I even had the chance to fight back.When we finally reached the big house, I walked inside and went straight to the small room near the back door. I locked the door with a small key and pulled out the computer that Silas had set up for me two days ago. My hands were steady now because the big fear in my heart was turning into anger. I opened the file that contained the real bank records of Beatrice’s money, which were pap
NICHOLE’S POVI stood near the bed with the paper in my hand and stared at the quiet wooden door. My knees were shaking, but my brain was working very fast because I needed to make a choice before anyone caught me. I quickly hid the folded note deep inside my dress pocket, trying to calm my breathing so my face would not betray my thoughts.Then the door opened slowly and Xavier walked inside, holding a small paper cup filled with warm water. "You need to drink your medicine now," Xavier said softly, reaching out his hand to give me the cup.I took a step back, pulling the note from my pocket and tossing it straight onto the white blanket where he could see it clearly. "Explain this to me right now," I said in a cold voice, watching his face closely to see if his eyes would twitch.Then Xavier placed the paper cup down on the table, and picked up the note with two fingers to read the black ink. "This is not my writing," Xavier said quickly, his eyes widening as he looked up at me wit
POV :Beatrice.Knock! knock!I heard a knock on the door.She didn't look like a woman who had just seen a tragedy. Her coat was buttoned, and her face was a mask of cold indifference. She looked at me with eyes that were far too calm for the news she was carrying."Mrs. Beatrice," she said flatly,
‘Ma please you can't go in” The secretary dragged.Raymond didn’t look up when the office door swung open. He remained busy at his annoying files that have kept him rigid since morning, his expression clearly looks pissed off by network issues from his system.He was still necked deep into his work
