As Natalie's eyes fluttered open, she was met with a sterile white environment. She instantly realized she was in a hospital.

"Nat! You're finally awake, how are you feeling?" Her mother, Lucille, asked abruptly with worry in her face. "What happened, why you suddenly had an attack? I thought your condition wasn't that serious when Lorraine told me about your situation, it turns out...." She sobbed between her words.

"Mom...." Nathalie reached out to rubbed her arm. "My condition isn't that serious, I'm just agitated. Besides, I was dragged by those two guards, that's why." She stopped abruptly when she remembered something important. "Goodness! I almost forgot!" She hastily removed the blanket and quickly got out of bed.

"Hey, what's happened to you? Where are you going?"

"Mom.... I-Ineed to talk to Nigel!"

W-what? nat,wait!"

But before she could step out of the room, she nearly bump to her father at the door. "Where are you going, do you feel better now?"

    The middle-aged woman stared at Nigel's face. When she confirmed who it was, she sarcastically laughed. "Oh, just look at the coincidence. So it's you? How are you, Mr. Sarmiento? You're still alive?"Nigel's grip on the woman's arm tightened. "Of course, I'm still alive, and I won't die yet - not until you receive the punishment you deserve.""Ha?" Lorraine went puzzled. "What are you talking about? Do I owe you something I didn't know?"Nigel shook her violently out of rage; he didn't seem to care that she was a woman or that she was old enough to be his mother. "Stop denying it! You're only making your guilt worse. Just admit what you've done already!"Lorraine resisted. "Let me go, you're hurting me!" When she managed to break free, she immediately distanced herself. "Are you insane? What am I supposed to have done that you're talking about?" "However much you deny it, I won't let you get away with it. You're such a vile woman; you shouldn't be a doctor, you should be in jail."

    "See, isn't he's so shameless? How thick his face was to blame others when it all started with him! If he hadn't secretly hooked up with your snake of a friend, would you guys end up in this state? I really wondered, what kind of mindset your ex-husband has. Good grief! The good thing is that you're finally free from him." Said the agitated Lorraine after she told everything to nathalie about what she went through because of Nigel. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Nathalie massaging her temples. "Nat, are you alright? What's wrong?" She checked on her heart monitor watch."I'm fine 'mie. I apologize for what Nigel had done to you." "Hump! Why are you apologizing on his behalf? He should be the one to apologize to me. And don't ever defend him, he's not even worthy of your concern.""Fine, can you just calm down now? You've been agitated since earlier. What's important is, the cops didn't take side with him and they didn't detain you illegally. But, I have a request for you.

    After chatting with the guests, Armando was about to introduce Nathalie, but she was nowhere to be found. He approached his wife, Lucille, who was happily chatting with her friends, to ask if she knew where their daughter was.Lucille looked around and searched among the crowd. "Is she still not here? She told me she was going to the restroom a while ago.""She went to the restroom a while ago, but she's still not here?""I don't know either, maybe Nico knows where his sister is. Why don't you ask him?" Lucille suggested.Armando approached his eldest son, Nico, who was quietly drinking on the side. "Nico, have you seen your sister?"Nico didn't respond, as if he hadn't heard him."Nico," Armando called out again."Yes, Dad?""Have you seen Nathalie?"Nico scowled and slightly raised his voice. "Why are you looking for her with me? Am I her babysitter? Besides, she's already grown up, right?""What's wrong with you? I'm just asking if you've seen your sister. You can't behave like th

    "Is what you're saying is true, Nigel? Where's Nathalie?""Uncle, don't worry, she's fine now. She's just resting in my suite."When Nathalie came downstairs, she heard this. "Dad, I'm here. I'm fine, don't worry.""Nat..." Armando looked his daughter up and down. "Is what Nigel said true, that those women did something to you?"Nathalie didn't deny it and quickly confirmed it.Armando turned to the four women, furious. "How dare you do something like that within my own company and on the day of the anniversary! Spill it, you're spies from the rival company, aren't you?"The women quickly denied it: "N-no! Mr. Andeza, we're not! We've worked here for a long time and we've never done anything like that.""Yeah, please believe us.""If that's true, then why did you do it? What made you do something like that?"The four women exchanged nervous glances."I-I..." Ria spoke up. She's been quiet until then.

    Nico quickly headed to the trash can to throw away the flowers, but his sister stopped him. "Hey, hey, what are you doing? Why are you throwing these?" Nathalie swiftly snatched the flowers from his brother. Nico tried to grab the flowers back, but Nathalie quickly moved away. "Brother, please..... These are mine, why are you throwing them without my consent?""Hey Nathalie, don't tell me you're okay with Nigel giving you all this stuff. Be honest, do you still like him? Are you planning on getting back with him?" Nico's tone mixed with irritation. He didn't even notice that they were already drawing attention from the employees."It's not like that, bro...." Nathalie replied. "My point is, it's not right for you to interfere with my decisions. I'll decide whether or not to accept what he's giving me, got it?""I don't know what to say to you. You want to decide for yourself? then go ahead!" Nico turned his back on Nathalie and left. As he stepped into the elevator, he called his a

    Andy was standing off to the side, casually glancing at his boss who'd been in front of the mirror for a while now. His gaze drifted to the bed, which was covered in high-end suits. He'd picked out some of them, while Nigel had chosen the others. Nigel had asked for his help, but always ended up rejecting his suggestions.Andy couldn't take it anymore, so he cleared his throat. "Uh, sir... You've been trying on suits for ages, and you still can't decide?" Nigel didn't respond, too busy with what he was doing."Sir, isn't it just a meeting with Andeza's enterprises? Do you really need to dress up that formally? It's not like you're going to attend some grand gala or anything." This time, Nigel looked at him, but Andy felt a surge of fear. "Uh, don't get me wrong, sir. I'm just worried that you might intimidate the people you're meeting with later because of how you're dressed.""What do I care?" Nigel replied nonchalantly without even turning to face his assistant. He was now

"Nothing ma'am, I'm just curious... But if you don't want to tell me, that's okay." "Have you asked your boss about it? What did he say?" "Uh, I haven't asked him yet. You know my boss, he's kinda scary. I don't want to get in trouble and have my salary deducted again.""I'm not gonna deny that our breakup wasn't good. I just won't say who was at fault between us, but I can say that I don't regret marrying him, even though..." Nathalie gave a faint, bitter smile. "Even though I knew we were impossible from the start."Nathalie walked ahead, while Andy slowed down his pace. As he thought about Nathalie's last statement, he finally realized who was to blame for their breakup.When they return to the meeting room, Andy's perception of his boss suddenly changed.

    "Hi Nigel, good afternoon," Elaine greeted as she entered Nigel's office. Nigel just glanced at her and continued working. "Don't you have anything to say to me?" Elaine asked, walking closer to the desk. "What should I say to you?" Nigel replied without looking up. "I left yesterday without telling you, I thought you might be looking for me." "No, I wasn't. Actually, it's fine with me even if you don't show up at all."Elaine wasn't angered with his response, she walked around to his back and hugged him.Nigel froze. His expression darkening, and for a moment, he had an urge to kick her out of the office. However, he clenched his fist and restrained himself. He couldn't afford to act out yet, not until he got what he needed from her."Don't be like that, Nigel. If I don't show up anymore, our deal will be over. How will you get Nathalie's heart then?" she whispered in his ear, her voice almost seductive, but it only seemed to annoy him further. "You're not going to give up on

    Nigel's body stiffened as he looked down at the ring on his table. When he picked it up, a pang hit his chest. He clenched his fist around the ring. "Nat, you're breaking off your engagement to me? Why?""Why? Are you really clueless? I think I don't need to answer that. You know exactly why, don't you, Nigel? I'm not going to let you make a fool of me again like you did before. Don't even think I'll still marry you knowing you're cheating on me again.""Cheating on you?" Nigel took a deep breath. "Is this about Elaine?"Nathalie didn't respond, but her face darkened while tears welled up in her eyes. She struggled to hold them back. "Since Elaine is the one you really love, why'd you make me believe your lies? You even pretended to be angry with her, but it truned out..."Nigel looked troubled by Nathalie's accusations. "Nathalie, no... it's not like that." He pulled his hair in frustration. "Just trust me, okay? Everything I'm doing is for a reason, and it's all for you. I just ca

    "Goodness gracious!" an older woman exclaimed as Nathalie, who was rushing bumped into her. Nathalie covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. The woman watched as she leaned against the wall, wondering about her heart monitor watch beeping away. Realizing something was wrong, she approached her. "Miss, are you okay?" But before she could reach her, Nathalie took off.Nathalie walked away, trying to calm herself down. With a mix of sadness and anger swirling inside her, she refused to give in this time. She pressed her lips together, rubbing her chest soothingly. 'That's enough, calm down...' But her heart monitor watch continued to beep, filling her with worry. Unlike when she had an attack at Nigel's company, where she felt secure with Andy's help, now she felt uneasy being in an unfamiliar place with no one she knew.As her grip on the wall slipped, she was about to fall when a hand suddenly grasped her arm. "N-Nathalie?!" a man who had just arrived exclaimed. When Nath

    Elaine tossed the medicine bottle aside when she realized it was empty. Her head was throbbing and aching as she made a call to the pharmacy to deliver the medication she needed. She had planned to follow Nigel to the hospital where Nathalie was, but not to comfort her, but to mock and ridicule her instead. However, karma seemed to have caught up with her as her migraine suddenly flared up, forcing her to rush back to her hotel.When the medication delivery arrived, she immediately took it. Once her migraine subsided, she grabbed a glass of red wine and sat down on the chaise lounge. She then called Nigel, but he didn't answer. She gulped all the wine in the glass and headed to visit him at his office instead."Ma'am, we're here," the taxi driver said to Nathalie. After being discharged from the hospital, she had taken a taxi home, despite Andy's offer to drive her. She had declined because she wanted to be alone; she also hadn't told her family what had happened.Upon reaching thei

    "You're really quiet today, don't you have anything to say? You didn't even greet me or ask if I've had breakfast," Elaine said to Nigel, who was driving. Nigel didn't respond, like he hadn't heard her. If only Elaine knew how much he wanted to kick her out of the car, but he knew he had to play nice. "Where should I drop you off?" "You want to get rid of me already, huh?" Elaine moved closer and unexpectedly hugged Nigel. She almost jerked forward when Nigel suddenly slammed on the brakes.Nigel pulled over for a moment. "What the...?! Can't you see I'm driving?!" he snapped. Elaine fell silent, pouting like a scolded child. "Sorry, Nigel... why are you being so grumpy with me? I remember you never used to raise your voice at me before, you were always so gentle when we talked. But now, just a little mistake and you're already yelling?"Nigel continued driving. "Are you still holding on to the hope that we'll go back to the way we are before? Don't day dream. Don't you still get

    Elaine happily chooses her outfit for the day. She chooses to wear her expensive branded dress, paired with heavy makeup, as if she's going on a date. She likely forgot what the meeting is all about.Her hips sway as she heads to the VIP suite she booked. She asks the person she's going to meet to wait there. Before entering, she takes out her expensive perfume from her pouch and gives herself a quick spritz.When she opened the door, she saw a man standing by the window. She knitted her brows when he didn't give her even a single glance, acting as if she wasn't there. "Nigel," she called out loudly to get his attention.When Nigel faced her, she swayed her hips as she approached him. When she wrapped her arms around his neck, he was about to push her away when she warned him, "If you stop me, I won't cooperate with you."Nigel froze. He just endured the discomfort he felt. As the woman was almost hugging him, he asked, "Where's Nathalie's heart? Is it still at the hospital?" "I do

    When Nathalie woke up, she jolted upright, disoriented. The events from earlier immediately flooded back to her. She had been heading to the restroom at a gas station when someone suddenly attacked her from behind. They grabbed her and dragged her somewhere, while one of them made her inhale something from a handkerchief, making her pass out.When she looked around, she realized she was in an abandoned place. Fear enveloped her as she wrapped her arms around herself. A question formed in her mind: was this a kidnapping for ransom? Thinking that might be the reason, her fear slightly diminished. If that was the case, they would definitely ask ransom money. As long as the kidnappers didn't think of doing anything inappropriate to her, she will be fine.She jolted as the creaky, rusty door swung open. Two men, both wearing hoods and face masks entered. "Oh, she's awake. Maybe we can start now and get this job done?" One of the men asked.Nathalie's fear returned. What did the man mean?

    Nigel suddenly grabbed Elaine's neck. "Do you really want me to be a criminal, Elaine? Do you really want me to be forced to kill someone?" Elaine struggled and angrily broke free from his grip. "Can't you just accept me, Nigel? Why is it so hard for you to do what I'm asking? Didn't you love me once–" "Yes, but I was blind back then!" Nigel snapped, silencing Elaine. "I made a mistake! I chose the wrong person. If you hadn't lied to me and pretended to save me from the fire, do you think I would've even noticed you?" Elaine froze, feeling like she'd been slapped as she was reminded of her deception and lies."Actually, it's also my fault for being deceived. I didn't even think you were fake. You know, you're one of the mistakes in my life. I wish I never met you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have hurt the person I love." "Enough!" Elaine interrupted, somewhat hurt by his words.

    When Elaine finally unleashed her pent-up frustrations, she suddenly realized that she became the center of attention. She fished out some money from her clutch bag and slapped it on the counter, then she walked out without looking back. She leaned against a wall, feeling the effects of the alcohol kicking in, and now she felt dizzy.She grabbed her cellphone and dialed Nigel's number. She tried ten times, but it kept going straight to voicemail. "Why can't I reach him? Did he block me, or did he change his number?"Then she called someone abroad. "Hello, dear? I just want to confirm if I'll be okay if I expose myself - won't I be throw in jail?"The man on the other end replied, "You're good, they can't touch you. Besides, isn't your boyfriend some big-shot international lawyer?"Elaine felt a wave of relief. "Really? Thanks, dear. I feel so much better now.""No worries, babe. Anything for you.""Alright, see you." Elaine replied."Bye, I love you.""I love you too."When the call
