CHAPTER 52
Nick’s POV
ANGER, that’s what I’m feeling right now. It’s like a burning log that can’t be removed from me. Fuck! They took Zara away from me again. I only found out about it from Eugenie, so I hurriedly came back to the island. I am greeted by Eugenie, who is crying.
“Didn’t I tell you, Eugenie, to immediately call my people there when there are suspicious individuals? What’s that! What kind of negligence is that!?” I shout at Eugenie with intense frustration and anger! Everything I’ve worked for is going to go to waste again.
Fuck it! Fuck it!
Lucas! Yup! That son of a devil! He’s the only one who could have done this! But how did he find our hiding place? How!
Then I remembered Giselle’s sudden disappearance! That fucking bitch betrayed me!
I feel like I’m going crazy, losing my mind! I can’t accept this! NO! NO, I WON’T LET THIS HAPPEN!
I can’t believe Eugenie is looking at me.
“Are you yelling at me, young master? I am Eugenie, the one who raised you! And now you’re acting like this because of a married woman you stole!” Eugenie says, which silences me.
But my mind and heart remain closed. Because all I know is that Zara is mine.
“Eugenie, she’s mine. She’s mine alone, Eugenie, and if I have to do everything! If I have to make mistakes again. I’ll do it, Eugenie!” I shout, crying and losing control.
“You’re losing it, my child! You’re going insane with what you’re saying! I’ve warned you that this won’t last! There will come a day when the fire you started will turn to smoke. I’ve warned you, but what? You ignored it!”
I fell silent, and Eugenie left me, planning to leave too. Everyone’s leaving! Everyone is leaving me! Everyone! Everyone! Damn it, I just need her to stay for me, but why! I gave everything!
I cried while looking at my cellphone. Zara is with me, the woman I will love deeply.
I will take her back in any way possible.
SOMEONE called me last night. I woke up with empty alcohol bottles on the floor and beside my bed. I’m a mess, sleepless, and tired. Too tired of thinking about how to get her back.
Because no matter what they say, Zara is mine! And that won’t change just because she’s married to a fucking bastard and has his own child.
So I want to get her back. And I have this dark idea. Even though, you know, it might not be approved by everyone. I know I’m going to add to my sins. I know that we might feel guilty.
But I don’t care. I love Zara so much that I’ve lost control of myself.
And last night, I received a call from Enrique. I woke up with beer bottles on the floor and around my bed. I’m a mess, sleep-deprived, and exhausted. Too exhausted from thinking about how to get her back.
Because no matter what they say, Zara is mine! And that won’t change just because she’s married to a fucking bastard and has his own child.
So I want to get her back. And I have this dark idea. Even though, you know, it might not be approved by everyone. I know I’m going to add to my sins. I know that we might feel guilty.
But I don’t care. I love Zara so much that I’ve lost control of myself.
And last night, I received a call from Enrique. It made me confirm that Lucas has Zara for a month. I feel like I’m going back to hell for another month.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
But now? I’m going to take her back. Fuck! I won’t let him have his way again. I’m just taking back what’s rightfully mine.
As I remember last night, Enrique called me around 8 pm. I was still sober and not totally drunk. So I was conscious at that time.
“Hello, Uncle Nick?” my godchild greeted me cheerfully.
“Yes, Kiddo?” I replied while looking into nothingness.
“I have some news for you. It’s late, but I wanted to tell you that Mom is back! She’s here with us again, Uncle!” he said happily.
That’s when I confirmed what would happen. I confirmed that Lucas is the reason for all of this. I felt so down and depressed because of this situation.
I gambled, wasted too much time and effort. I bet my dignity, my everything just to have her. And that motherfucking Lucas snatched my greatest possession instantly?! Damn it, I waited so long, and he takes her away from me just like that? I can’t accept it!
I’m not the type of man who surrenders easily. She was mine first. I was the first one to love her! I was the one who was always by her side. It’s me! But why wasn’t I the one she chose!
So a plan started forming in my mind. It might be the craziest and most evil thing I’ll ever do. This is my last chance and my last attempt. I just want to end my pain.
I want Zara back. And if I have to lose everything all at once, I will do it.
“Is that so, Kiddo? Can you do me a favor?” I asked him on the other line.
“What is it, Uncle?” he responded.
“Let’s meet up tomorrow morning. No bodyguards or drivers, right? You know how to commute. I just want you to help me plan a welcome party for your mom. So don’t tell anyone else about this. Just between us, okay?” I said, trying to be as convincing as possible.
Yeah, that’s my plan. I have to fake a kidnapping, and the ransom I’ll demand is Zara. It sounds messed up, but who the hell cares.
If I need to do this as a last resort? I would do it just to have her. We’ll be far away, and she’ll learn to love me. Because I can’t unlove her. She was meant to be mine from the beginning.
It’s a long shot, but what do they care? They don’t understand what I’m feeling and deciding. People don’t know my pain. The scars and wounds I’ve acquired from overthinking. Inside, I’m a man deeply wounded.
So what happened was I took a shower. Got ready and hired a few of my men. Because something big is about to happen. I know it’s wrong. I know that, but for her, I’ll do it.
I’m willing to be a sinner just for her. That’s how crazy I am for you, Zara! But damn it, can’t you see that!
I shaved my beard, put on something presentable before meeting my godchild.
I’ll apologize to him in advance. He’ll be the key to accomplishing my mission. I’m sorry, but I really need to do this. Or it will destroy me. Not having her might destroy me even more deeply.
I met Enrique in my condo. He looks happy, but I’ll apologize because that happiness won’t last for long. I have to do this.
“Uncle! Bless…” he began and bowed to me.
I can feel the guilt and conscience. But there’s nothing I can do about it. The system has consumed me.
I slowly took a handkerchief from my pocket, with a sedative.
I quickly covered my nose and mouth with it and handed one to my godchild. I saw the pain of betrayal in his eyes.
I’m so sorry… Sorry.
