The scent of vanilla mixed with baked bananas woke Alicia up. She didn't usually smell something delicious in the morning like this. Alicia blinked her eyes a few times before letting out a long sigh and getting out of bed. She looked around and realized a thick blanket still covered her body.The cold weather outside made her body cold. But there was nothing colder than living in loneliness and emptiness.Having managed to gather consciousness from her deep sleep, Alicia walked towards the source of the smell. It seemed to be the aroma of cake. A smell quite similar to the one she had encountered in the kitchen of Emma, Nicholas' mother."Nicholas?"Alicia's husky voice made Nicholas look up. Nicholas' hand, which was already wrapped in a latex glove, was raised in the air. He smiled and waved. "Good morning. Did you sleep well last night?"Alicia bent her forehead, then pointed at Nicholas' hand which was still waving in the air. "You made food with the gloves you used to hold dead

CHAPTER 104The masked man laughed with satisfaction. He waved the gun in his hand and pointed the butt of the gun at Alicia."You will see everything you have disappear forever, Alicia," said the masked man.Nicholas had just been shot. He was shot in the leg, but the wound was enough to keep Nicholas from chasing the masked man who was now waving as he walked away from the two of them.The man's laughter was still haunting, as Alicia tried to untie the ropes that bound her."Nicholas! Nic, please!"A moaning voice was heard from Nicholas. The man was still lying on the ground with both hands clutching his shot right thigh. Blood filled his pants. He felt his thigh throbbing. It was very painful and Nicholas couldn't help it."Nicholas..."But Alicia's voice, which sounded worried, brought Nicholas to his senses. He tried to move his body, while turning slowly, he tried to see Alicia. "I'm... fine, Alicia. Noel will be here soon, he checked... arg! he checked the location of my cell

CHAPTER 106Angela's footsteps stopped as she entered the meeting room of the chief commissioners. Her red heels perfectly matched the red dress she wore that afternoon. Her eyes, covered by Gucci glasses, scanned the surroundings. She looked at the important people in the room, before finally sitting down and clearing her throat softly."We can start the meeting now," Angela said.She was a strong and independent woman who, despite being fifty years old, was still a woman of strong character and conviction."Alright. We will open today's meeting with stock information regarding the plan to build a specialty hospital in the UK." Anna spoke formally. She stood with a folder in her left hand. Anna was Prof. Kyoto's secretary. A doctoral professor who was well-versed in the medical field. Anna walked to the large screen at the front of the room, pressed the remote button and started showing the results of the stock investment report for the construction of the hospital.Angela watched th

CHAPTER 108Ace was reading a book when Mike suddenly appeared and blocked the view. Ace looked at him for a moment, but looked away then. He wasn't in a good mood to talk, so ignoring the existence of Mike, Angela's man, was a good idea."You have to come with me now," Mike said in his stern voice.Ace realized that Mike was an undercover prison officer. He had been paid in full by his own mother to help Ace get out of that place. Everything about Alicia, Ace had seen. She had gotten out of prison with Mike's help. It was all Angela's plan. Angela used her money lavishly just so she could get more money from Ace.Ace closed the book slowly, his mind racing. He had suspected Angela's involvement in his release, but never understood the intricate web that revolved around her. Mike's arrival, confirming his suspicions, unraveled the thin thread of trust that remained."Mom paid you?" Ace's voice shook with a mixture of shock and betrayal.Mike's stern face softened slightly. "Look, Ace,

CHAPTER 110"You mean... we have to hide this news from the media?"Nicholas took a deep breath, then let it out as he looked at everyone inside the hospital's inpatient room. It was a VIP room, Nicholas had gotten it because Noel had requested it and taken care of all the paperwork.It was just the three of them now. Racing in panic and time that they didn't know the limits of."Give me two times twenty-four hours to find Ace," Nicholas said confidently. He was filled with anxiety, what if Ace would harm Alicia?"You can't do that, Nic!" Alicia refused. She bit her lip, looking just as panicked as Noel when he had just arrived. "Didn't you hear what Doctor Harris said? You need to rest for your wounds to heal."Nicholas glanced at the monitors around the room, their soft beeps echoing in the tense atmosphere. He knew Alicia was right - his wounds needed rest. But Ace's threat remained like a storm cloud, and he could not ignore its urgency."We're not going to hide it," Noel interjec
