CHAPTER 43
Nick’s POV
When you’re too in love, you can blur the line between right and wrong. I’m blinded by my feelings, and the thought of not having her drives me insane. I can’t accept that after waiting for so long, I’m being ignored while she falls for another man.
I was the one who stood by her when she was hurt by Lucas. I’ve been there as her companion, support, and tool. I waited because I knew Zara’s ultimate destination was meant to be with me.
I feel like I’m losing my mind, going crazy. The jealousy is consuming me, and I can’t accept not being her last choice.
It’s been a long time since I’ve loved someone from afar, just waiting for the right moment to make my move and make her mine. I’ll keep a close eye on her, and the moment I see someone else trying to take what should be mine, I won’t hesitate to act. I’ve worked too hard, faced too many challenges, and invested too much of myself to let her slip away. I will make sure that I am her endgame.
Zara has been kidnapped, and I still remember that day. It was her wedding day, but she ended up in the car I arranged for her, not knowing it wasn’t the bridal car. She had no idea something was wrong with that car.
If it weren’t for me… But I never expected Zara to be so stubborn and brave. She tried to take control of the car and steer it away from danger, but it crashed into a tree. Luckily, I was following her car.
I saved her, but the person I ordered to kidnap her lost his life. I kept her hidden away, and for years she remained lifeless and comatose. During that time, she even gave birth to a girl while still in a coma. I couldn’t bear the thought of anything reminding her of her past life, so I gave the baby girl to an orphanage.
Call me evil, call me a demon, call me selfish-I don’t care. I am happy with my decision, even though many people would say it’s wrong. I’m just saving her, rescuing her from pain and misery with Lucas.
Zara woke up without her memories, and I took advantage of the situation. I fabricated a story that we were married and in love. I also made sure she wouldn’t regain her memories by giving her memory-suppressing medication. I won’t let all my efforts go to waste.
Last night, Zara mentioned Lucas’s name in her dream. It made me nervous; perhaps she’s starting to remember something. I fear the day when she wakes up, remembers all the sins I’ve committed against her, and leaves me. I can’t bear to be alone again. I’d rather die than feel that loneliness.
The stormy weather outside makes me wish it would never end. It gives me a reason to stay on the island, where Zara is safe, hidden from Lucas or anyone else who might try to interfere with us.
I didn’t sleep, knowing that Zara may wake up with more memories. I must find a more effective drug to ensure her memory doesn’t return. I won’t allow her to remember her past life.
Zara believes I am her husband, that we love each other, and if I have to tell her a lie, I will. I just can’t bear to be alone, and I won’t accept anything less.
In the living room, I’m having coffee, and Eugenie, who has been my nanny since childhood, scolds me for staying up late. She knows why Zara is here, and though she disapproves of my actions, I no longer care. I’m content with my decision.
She tells me I should make things right while I still have time, but I’m prepared to face the consequences of my actions. I’m waiting for karma to come for me, but for now, I’ll live with my guilt.
The next day, the weather clears up, and I hate leaving Zara alone on the island. However, I have business and work in Claybourne, and as the heir to my father’s company, I must fulfill my obligations.
Before I leave, I talk to Zara again, reminding her not to leave the island. I can’t risk anyone seeing her and taking her away from me. I’ve waited too long to let anyone steal her from me again.
Back in Claybourne, I receive a report from my godchild, Enrique. He’s still missing his mother, whom I took away from him. I promise Enrique that we’ll find his mother and that I’ll take care of him and Zara’s daughter from the orphanage. We’ll start a new family in another country.
While I’m relaxing on my couch with a drink, Giselle shows up at my condominium, looking annoyed. She starts ranting about Lucas and how she still wants him, but I pay little attention to her complaints.
She demands my help, and I reluctantly agree. But I won’t let anyone come between Zara and me. Giselle might think she has a plan, but I have my own, and I’ll ensure that Zara remains mine.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Someone rings the doorbell, and it’s Giselle. She barges in and sits on my couch, sipping my whisky, and looks troubled.
She starts criticizing Zara, and I warn her not to speak ill of her. I’m ready to defend what’s mine, and I won’t let anyone take her away.
Giselle eventually calms down, and I listen to her rants, even though I’m still determined to protect Zara and keep her by my side.
“I want Lucas to be mine again. Help me, Nick.”
