Chapter Thirty-one: A Deal with the Devil

Nina's POV Soon, the picnic was over.Alexander carried Finn while holding Mia as he walked me to his car."I'll be driving you home," he said calmly.I nodded. I didn't argue with him this time. I'd learned not to because it was pointless. Anything he decided to do, he would do. Nothing could change his mind.The ride wasn't quiet.The kids couldn't stop talking about the picnic or asking Alex questions.I relaxed in the back seat as they bombarded him with one question after another.Once he dropped us off, Mia immediately hugged him and asked, "Can we come again next year?"Without thinking, he replied, "Yes."He seemed to be getting attached to the kids.Nolan's POVI still couldn't believe that Nina had really moved on. She used to be head over heels in love with me.I knew I had messed up, but a second chance would be enough for me to make it up to her.I just couldn't stand seeing her with Alexander.

Chapter Thirty-three: Don’t Run Away

Nina’s POVI stood on the rooftop, the cold breeze brushing against my face and blowing my hair backward.After the accusations, I couldn't help but wonder if leaving Carter Global would be the best decision.I didn't know who was behind all of this, but it could seriously affect Carter Global, especially Alexander.I didn't want his company to fail because of me. He had worked so hard to get where he was.His years of effort shouldn't be in vain because of me.“Maybe leaving would be the best thing for us,” I whispered to myself.My heart tightened.The thought of leaving was breaking my heart, but I had to do it. I wiped away the tears threatening to fall from my eyes.“Do you always run away when life becomes difficult?” His deep voice jolted me.I turned around and found him standing behind me. “How long have you been standing there?” I couldn't help but ask.
