Levant studied her hesitant expression and began to panic.
No…I have to make her agree to this!
However, before he could say anything, one of his maids walked in and told him that he had a visitor.
With that, Levant stood up to leave. “Get some rest. I’ll be back soon.”
As he walked out of the room, Nicole sighed heavily.
I wonder how he’s going to deal with Evan…
Evan…
The more she thought about that name, the more she felt conflicted on the inside.
It is obvious that Levant will not let him go so easily…
This is all your fault, Evan!
You brought this upon yourself.
Feeling irritated, she stood up and walked over to the bedroom.
However, before she could put her hand on the handle of the door, it flew open and Juan ran in while panting heavily. She was shocked out of her wits.
“What’s wrong, Juan?” she asked.
“I saw the bad woman, Mommy!” Juan said, struggling to catch his breath.
“The bad woman?”
“Yeah, that Susan woman. I saw her talking to Levant! I don’t think they’re up to any good,” Juan explained.
Levant and Susan? Why would they be together?
Nicole was rather surprised by the news.
Juan whipped out his phone and showed her a picture. “Look! I took this picture of them in secret. I’m pretty sure that’s Susan!”
Nicole took a good look at the photo and raised an eyebrow when she noticed the two people in the picture were indeed Susan and Levant.
How did they know each other?
She cracked her head over the matter. Could it be that she is here to see Levant in the hope to rescue Evan?
That’s not entirely impossible.
Right, she is definitely here for Evan. She will go all out trying to save him. After all, she is the one he will be spending the rest of his life with. Well, who am I to get involved though?
“Thanks for telling me, Juan,” she said with a smile while ruffling his hair. “You can go now.”
Juan nodded and walked out of the room.
Meanwhile, Levant watched as Susan disappeared around a corner with a smirk on his face.
She’s one wicked woman! I’d never have guessed that she would use such ruthless methods to get what she wants!
I’m sure Nicole will give up all hopes on Evan and come back to me once she witnesses this amazing act we’ve planned out for her!
He scoffed and gestured to one of his henchmen. “You there! Go and…”
“Yes, Mr. Levant.”
That night, Nicole sat alone in the bedroom. She was trying hard to clear her mind of that cold face of Evan but to no avail.
In her opinion, Evan was a tyrant that would do anything to achieve his goals.
He could torture her until she bled and cried for his mercy, and he would even resort to impersonating another person just to keep her by his side.
Is he what people would call a cruel lover?
It is too bad he is such a ruthless character. How I wish he would show me only his loving and gentle side; I am sure we would have been very happy together.
A tiny grin appeared on her face as she thought of his love, only for it to be wiped off by a sudden gust of wind.
Wake up, Nicole! He has nothing to do with me anymore! Just stop thinking about him…now and forever…
She got up to see her kids but was stopped by Levant, who rushed in looking panicky.
“Nicole! Susan wants to meet Evan! Do you think I should allow her?” he asked, sitting down on the couch in the room.
Nicole fell silent. A few seconds later, she replied, “I don’t know. It’s up to you.”
Levant could tell that she was conflicted about it, and it irritated him to see that she still cared about Evan. Most importantly, his relationship with Susan.
He clenched his fists as a mysterious grin appeared on his face.
