Chapter 0594
But why? Could it really have been M who did it? And if so, what should I do?
I wanted to tell Tim, but right now, I wasn''t so sure. I needed some time to think. After all, my career was on the line; and I couldn''t afford to be one of those people who had a smear campaign started against me.
No, I needed to think about this rationally. But first, I needed to worry about Nina, about our child.
I was lost in my thoughts when there was a knock on the door of my hotel room. I hurriedly finished packing and went to answer it, not expecting to find anyone there other than housekeeping.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
But to my surprise, it was...
"Good morning, Enzo."
"M? What are you doing here?"
Her lips stretched into a thin smile, painted red. The lipstick still looked wet and fresh, like she had just put it on." Tim asked me to drive you to the airport," she said, folding her arms across her chest. "He didn''t tell you?"
I furrowed my brow, finding Tim''s request rather unusual. "He didn''t mention it," I said, a hint of suspicion in my voice. "But I can take a cab or an Uber. You don''t have to go out of your way,"
M shook her head, her expression determined. "No, Tim insisted, and I''m here to make sure you get to the airport safely. Please, let me take you."
I sighed, realizing that arguing further would be futile. "Alright, M," I said, feeling resigned. "Thank you for your help."
As we made our way out, the atmosphere in the car was tense. I couldn''t help but feel that something was off, that there was more to this situation than met the eye. I kept my guard up, ready for whatever mighte my way.
The drive to the airport was quiet, and I was lost in my thoughts as I stared out of the window. Finally, the airport came into view, and I felt relieved.
M pulled into a parking space and turned to look at me. "Here we are," she said with a grin. "Are you excited to head back to the middle of nowhere?"
I nodded, reaching for my jacket on the back seat. "Yeah, I''m looking forward to going home," I said. "To see my-" But then it happened. As I was turning toward the back seat to grab my jacket, M suddenly leaned closer, grabbed my face in her hands, forced me to look at her, and...
She kissed me.
I was taken aback and pushed her away instinctively without so much as a second thought. But I pushed her with more force than I intended, and she hit her head against the window with a thud.
Blood began to trickle down from her forehead, and I immediately felt a wave of panic wash over me. "Shit. M, I''m so sorry," I eximed, reaching for a tissue to help stop the bleeding.
But as I tried to tend to her injury, I realized that something was terribly wrong. M''s grip on my wrist was far stronger than it should have been, and her eyes... her eyes were a strange, inhuman shade, a color I couldn''t even begin to describe.
I managed to wrench my arm free, but not before her nails dug into my skin. "M?" I asked, my eyes narrowing.
M''s eyes, still that eerie color, locked onto mine. She spoke in a low, threatening tone.
"If you tell a soul about that kiss, Enzo, I''ll show everyone this cut on my forehead," she said, her voice dripping with malice. "And I''ll tell them that you sexually assaulted me. You''ll lose your entire career, your reputation, everything. Even your precious wife."
I couldn''t believe what I was hearing. It was like a nightmare unfolding right in front of me. All at once, I felt like a fool and a coward for not doing something sooner, but now here I was, caught in a trap that, judging from the look of things, was very carefully set.
She blinked, and her eyes returned to their normal color. She leaned back in her seat, a smug smile ying on her lips. "Now, get the hell out of my car," she ordered.
I didn''t need any further prompting. I practically bolted out of the car, my mind whirling with what had just happened.
I quickly retrieved my things, and watched as M sped off, tires screeching on asphalt.
