All Chapters of Her Instant Replies Proved She Loved Him: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Nathan's POVIt wasn't long before the drug's effect rushed through my system even more aggressively, leaving my body limp and burning up. I didn't even have the strength to lift a finger. In the meantime, once Andrew Heath, my best friend, was taken away, the people who drugged me returned and surrounded me. I suffered through the ordeal in a blur for God knows how long, and once the assault finally ended, they dragged me out and dumped me outside the private room.I barely managed to steady myself against the wall when I saw Hailey Somerville, my fiancee, helping Andrew into the private room across the hallway. I then heard soft panting and moans coming from behind the slightly ajar door.I dragged my exhausted body over to the door, and just as I raised my hand to knock, a black card was tossed through the crack and landed at my feet. Hailey's voice sounded from the darkness, seductive yet impatient. "Go buy me a box of ultra-thin condoms and bring it over—make it fast!"

Hailey hurried into the police station and threw her arms around Andrew, her face practically glowing with excitement. She took a while to realize that I was actually sitting nearby. She approached me guiltily and took my hand. "You probably heard what I said on the phone earlier, right? I'm pregnant with Andrew's baby. How could I just leave him alone in that private room, especially since he's the father of my baby, Nathan?"Just then, two police officers walked past, talking among themselves. "Did you hear what happened just now? There was some guy at the bar who just got used by a bunch of wealthy women! He just came over to file a report…"Hailey's face paled abruptly. She pulled Andrew closer to her side, then turned to me and asked, "Did you hear that? If I hadn't made it there in time, Andrew would've been the one going through that nightmare! "You'd have done the same for someone you cared about, right? You get where I'm coming from, right, Nathan?"Seeing the way she

Hailey's heart sank. She hurriedly called her lawyer to handle Andrew's situation, only finding the time to look around the villa once he arrived.In the end, the police officers had to suspend the arrest due to a lack of solid evidence.Hailey noticed that aside from Nathan's personal set of keys and case files, the cabinet at the foyer was completely bare. She looked around and found that there were no festive wedding decorations anywhere in the massive villa, only an empty, echoing silence.She scowled as she opened every door in the villa, only to find no sign of Nathan. She stared at the empty house and realized with a start that, except for a subtle lingering scent of jasmine in the air, not a single trace of Nathan remained in this villa.She stared at the empty closet, her mounting anxiety growing at an alarming speed.Andrew strolled up beside her and said casually, "You should just give it a rest. Nathan is obviously still throwing a fit over what happened earlier. H

Nathan appeared on the massive screen. He was standing at the entrance of the courthouse, wearing a black-and-white suit. He looked utterly calm despite his pale complexion.Hailey slowly turned her head, her eyes locked on the frail figure on the massive screen.On the screen, the reporter asked pointedly. "According to the case file, you actually tried to reach out for help when you got drugged at Nocturnal Bar. Did you really have no friends or acquaintances nearby at that moment, Mr. Zeller?"Nathan looked right at the camera and replied softly, "I did."The reporter continued pressing him. "Why didn't you ask that person for help, then?"Nathan furrowed his brow, seeming reluctant to relive that nightmare of a night. "I did. I sent her a message asking for help and called her too. I was in the private room right across from her when the whole thing took place, separated by only one hallway."In that instant, the crowd erupted into an uproar.The reporter's voice rose with i

Nathan's POVA year later, beyond the studio window in Northern Elaria, snow-dusted cedars stood in the cold as afternoon sunlight streamed through the glass and fell across the canvas. I stood before the easel, taking my time with each brushstroke.Bobby Hall, my junior who had just returned from home, worked on his canvas while sharing some gossip. "I heard that the Heath family is completely ruined. "Andrew went off the rails the moment Hailey dumped him. He even showed up at Somerville Group to cause a scene. He was sentenced to ten years in prison after Hailey turned over evidence of his embezzlement to the police."Upon hearing that, the young woman beside us chimed in. "Somerville Group isn't doing any better either. Hailey risked all her capital to go up against the Heath family back then, and both sides ended up suffering heavy losses. Somerville Group is nothing but a shell of a company these days."Bobby whispered, "I heard some people from the Heath family broke Haile
