I had to agree to let him be in my mansion because I know It hurts her to see me with Jessica but I had no other choice because Jessica’s father was my business partner, knowing that I was single he wanted me to be his son in law.
I can't refuse him as we both were bound in a project and if I refused him he would step back from the project which can be a big loss to my business. Keeping that in mind, I said I wanted to grow a relationship with her first and later we will discuss the marriage, he agreed to that and from then I had to tolerate Jessica.
I know she was giving bitchy attitude towards Venessa, but I had to ignore her stupid behavior because of her father, I know that she lied that Venessa pushed her actually she wanted to push and make Venessa fall from stairs but instead of Venessa, she slipped and fell down from the stairs and broke her ankle.
While all this was happening in the mansion, I thought someone had to be with her, support her as I had to act to be with Jessica and support Jessica. Keeping all this in mind, I agreed to what Nikolai said to me. Every Time I saw them together I felt hurt and I had to convince myself that it's best for her to be with him, he is the one for her and she'll be happier with him than with me but that was the hardest part for me to take in.
The sound of someone pushing the door and walking inside made me snap back to reality, everyone was looking at Paul who was breathing hard as he ran for hours without stopping.
John immediately walked towards him and gave him a glass of water, he gulped it whole and took a deep breath before turning his head towards me, “Venessa called me before she went missing,” he said looking at me and Nikolai, we both looked at each other. Before I could ask him the question, Nikolai bet me and asked him,” What did she say to you?” he asked him as he stood up from the chair.
“She asked me to bring the chain which Lorenzo gave her,” he said looking at me with a small smile playing on his lips.
What! She had it...with her..till…. now?
Hearing what he said my lips moved upward, “She had it all this while with her,” I whispered, happy to know this small detail.
All of a sudden, The actual hint she gave to me by asking him to bring the chain to her hit me. I once told her that the chain had a tracking device in it, I totally forgot about this.
I turned to John, "John!" I said, looking at my face he immediately understood what I was thinking.
"I'm on it, Sir," he said while nodding his head and walking out of the room.
I internally smirked at her smart move, “That's my cleaver puppy,” I said with a big smirk on my face.
Nikolai stared at me with confusion written on his face, clearly, he didn't know about the necklace I gave her.
As I was smirking, one thing struck me, Wait… what?
Puppy? Where did that come from?
As I heard unfamiliar noises around me, I slowly began opening my eyes. Everything was a bit blurry in the beginning, but eventually, my vision became clearer and the first thing I noticed was a long white coat.
I couldn't understand what was happening at all, I tried to open my mouth but there was a strong pain on my chest. I hissed because of the pain, hearing me the doctor who was standing in front of me turned his head towards me and pushed my shoulder back making lay back on the bed,
“Mr. Francisco. Please lay down,” he said, looking at my face, I didn't understand what was happening around me. I was very confused, and this pain in my chest was making it impossible to move.
I tried to move my lips, but my throat was sore, and it felt like something very hot liquid just went into my throat making it impossible to talk. The doctor who was standing in front of me saw my face and grabbed the glass of water from the table and passed it over to me.
I immediately took it and swallowed it whole. After drinking the water, I looked up at him who was talking to the nurse next to him. She gave him a file with few papers, he began checking the papers and mumbled something to the nurse.
I opened my mouth to say something but before that doctor turned to me, “Mr. Francisco, you need to relax, and please lay down also don’t talk much, it may hurt you,” he said. I was pissed now.
What's happening here? I glared at him while gritting my teeth, “What's going on here?” I asked him While looking around,” Where’s Venessa?” I asked.
Before the doctor could say something, the door began opening and Nikolai walked in. Looking at me, he smiled a bit. There was something wrong with his smile. I don’t know why but I felt like something had happened and that includes Venessa.
Suddenly panic began erupting from the bottom of my heart as I looked around searching for my Venessa. I immediately tried to get up but my chest pain didn’t let me. Nikolai immediately ran to me,” Enzo!” he yelled while holding my arms and making me sit. I hissed at the pain and tried to control it.
“w..whe..where is she?” I asked him, hearing my question his face fell and he began avoiding my eye contact,
“sh..she’s okay,” he said, handing me tablets with a glass of water.
