NINA'S EMOTIONS WERE mixed with fear, confusion, nervousness... Excitement..."The world will take us apart," Hayes whispered, running his thumb across Nina's bottom lip. "Your mind will forget me too but my heart will always be yours."She's maybe sheltered but she's not ignorant of such things, she knows very well what Hayes is doing and what will eventually happen but she can't push him. She also doesn't want him to stop.Her eyes close slightly. She's even anticipating every move he makes, savoring it. The fact that she's letting him do this to her really scares her. He can control her without him knowing it and she even likes it.Maybe because she was already used to always being controlled by her own father."And if ever we meet in our next lifetime, let me love you more than love itself." He growls out against her lips.Then she felt his lips on her neck as he slowly took off her tank top. Nina can feel Hayes getting hard against her and it sends shivers down her spine.To thin

NINA JUST WATCHED her phone ring, the name Hayes Xavier was shown on the screen there and she doesn't have any plan to answer it. She's been in the office of her clinic for hours now. Until this day, she can't still process the revelations of Argus or maybe she just does not want to believe it.She also repeatedly typed Hayes' name in the search bar but just like what Argus had said, there's not even a single piece of information that pops out about him.And when she searched about Hawthorne Salvatrix but Hayes' face always came out. Their faces are one hundred percent matched to each other as if they were really one person.Her parents must be looking for her too and they are definitely furious. She watched Diether on the TV this afternoon and he already announced that their wedding will be off. Because of it, the sales and stocks of Lexington's company dropped that now owned by her while her father's company increased.Nina already expected that and she already has a plan ready. But

HAWTHORNE COULD NO longer control himself and he punched the nearest wall because of the raving anger he was feeling. He couldn't anymore manage his temper and he badly wanted to harm someone. After he accompanied Nina home, he immediately returned to her clinic. She did not even speak to him, nor did she look at him. He could feel her trembling, fear, and coldness."Draco wasn't himself, Hayes. He definitely doesn't know what he was doing either so don't blame him." Safiya reasoned out but that only added to his anger."Because of your stubbornness and you all chose to disobey me that is why this happened." He retorted that he doesn't want to look at them because his vision might darken and he can't control himself and he might hurt them. "I already warned all of you but still, you didn't listen to me."Safiya took a deep breath, giving up. "I'm sorry! Okay! It's our fault that this happened. And if something bad happened to Draco I definitely can't forgive myself either. So, I'm rea

"YOU CAN'T SLEEP, Miss Nina?" Soleil asked her.Nina lightly nodded at her while reading a fantasy novel in her bed. That has been her hobby lately to divert her attention to other things and she is also at the climax of the book."Looks like you've not been sleeping well for a few days, miss Nina." Soleil noticed. "Do you want me to ask your doctor for medicine so you can sleep anyway?""Don't bother, Soleil." She immediately shook her head.She's already problematic and she doesn't want to end up addicted to those medicines and drugs."Where's Argus by the way?""He informed me that he will be gone in a few days, he said he has something important to do but he will be back soon." She fixed her blanket. "He said he couldn't talk to you because you've been taking care of a lot of things lately."And Nina didn't know why her chest was throbbing so violently, she also lost her attention to what she was reading and remembered her last conversation with Argus.But she also immediately era

NINA FELT THE glances of Safiya at her from time to time. She's sitting beside Safiya who was driving the car and she had no intention of talking to her until they reached the place where they took Argus. Safiya exhaled violently and exaggeratedly as if she was making sure that Nina would know how bored she was and she doesn't like the silence. Maybe even the idea that she was the one who is driving."If you're not going to talk to me or say something, I hope I'm not the one you forced to accompany you, right?""As far as I remember, I didn't force you," Nina said flatly."But you suggested to Hayes that I come with you even though he already volunteered."She had to avoid Hayes first. When she is with him, she cannot think straight. He seems like he can control not only her body but also her heart. It's scary how easily she forgets about her worries and problems every time he is with her."But you didn't refuse." Nina still insisted."Whatever! But still, we're not friends.""Don't
