Chapter 61
Chapter 61.With the calm came tension.Nicholas stood in the apartment, surrounded by the work he'd done and the space he'd created for Rebecca.It was perfect but as he looked around, his heart hammered at the thought of the remaining amount to be spent. He still had over two million dollars left to spend and just less than a day to do it.Nicholas ran a hand through his hair, his mind racing.He'd bought clothes. Gifts. Furniture. Decorations.He'd spent a million on one shopping trip alone.But two million?How was he supposed to spend two million dollars in less than twenty-four hours?Nicholas exhaled slowly, his jaw clenching.He needed to think.But first, he needed to get Rebecca.Nicholas locked the apartment and headed back to the hospital.The evening air was cool and the streets quieter now as the city settled into the night.Nicholas's mind was still spinning, but he pushed it aside.He has resolved to be handling one thing at a time.When he reached the hospital, he we

Rebecca sat on the edge of the bed, her hands still running over the rabbit, her eyes still wet with tears.But as the initial wave of emotion passed, her expression shifted.She looked around the room again, then back at Nicholas."Nich," she said slowly. "How did you afford all this?"Nicholas had been expecting the question.He sat down beside her, his hands resting on his knees. "It's a long story." He deflected. Rebecca's eyes narrowed slightly. "A long story I need to hear."Nicholas shook his head gently. "Not yet.""Nich…""When you're recovered," Nicholas said firmly. "When you're feeling better. I'll explain everything. I promise."Rebecca studied him for a long moment, her expression conflicted.Then she sighed. "You're not going to tell me now, are you?""No," Nicholas said without a second thought. Rebecca shook her head, a faint smile tugging at her lips despite herself. "You're impossible."Nicholas smiled back. "I know."Rebecca looked around the room again, her ey
Chapter 63
Chapter 63.Rebecca's hand stayed on Nicholas's arm, her grip was gentle but firm."Nich," she said quietly. "Look at me." She tugged at his arms..Nicholas tore his eyes away from Kelly, his jaw still tight with anger, while his chest still heaving.Rebecca's expression was soft and sad, but calm."He's not worth it," she said.Nicholas exhaled sharply. "He doesn't even remember…""I know," Rebecca cut him off gently. "But getting angry isn't going to change that."Nicholas's hands curled into fists on the table.Rebecca squeezed his arm. "Please. Just sit down. Let's finish dinner."Nicholas looked at her for a long moment, then slowly sat back down.His shoulders were still tense and his breathing still uneven.But he stayed seated. Rebecca gave him a small, grateful smile. "Thank you."But Nicholas didn't respond.He just stared at his plate, his appetite long gone.But Rebecca started eating again, her movements slow and deliberate, and eventually, Nicholas picked up his fork to
Chapter 64
Chapter 64.Nicholas woke to sunlight streaming through the hotel curtains.Rebecca was still asleep beside him, curled up on her side of the massive bed, her breathing soft and even.He had to spend the rest of the morning today, somehow. He sat up slowly, his mind already working.Today was a day that had to count.By the time Rebecca woke up, Nicholas had already ordered room service. They brought pancakes, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, and orange juice.Rebecca sat up carefully, her eyes widening when she saw the spread laid out on the table."Breakfast in bed?" she said, smiling sheepishly. Nicholas grinned. "Better. Breakfast in a five-star hotel."They both laughed together. They ate together, Rebecca savoring every bite, her mood lighter than Nicholas had seen in months.When they finished, Nicholas stood. "Get dressed. We're going out."Rebecca's brow furrowed. "Where?"Nicholas smiled. "You'll see."The first stop was the harbor.Nicholas had booked a private cruise, a s
Chapter 65
Chapter 65Nicholas woke to silence.The kind of silence that felt heavy, thick, like the air itself was holding its breath.He blinked slowly, his eyes adjusting to the soft morning light filtering through the hotel curtains.For a moment, he didn't move.He just lay there, staring at the ceiling, his mind foggy with sleep.Then it all came rushing back.The cruise. The arcade. The gallery. The spa.Rebecca's laughter. Her smile. The way her eyes had lit up with every new experience.Nicholas turned his head slightly.Rebecca was still asleep on the bed, the blanket he'd draped over her last night pulled up to her chin.The stuffed panda sat beside her, one of its ears flopped over her arm.Her face was peaceful, relaxed in a way Nicholas hadn't seen in years..He sat up slowly, careful not to make noise, and swung his legs over the side of the bed.His body ached, not from pain though but from exhaustion.The kind that came from spending an entire day on your feet, moving from place
Chapter 66
Chapter 66.Nicholas woke Rebecca gently, his hand on her shoulder."Hey," he said softly. "We need to get ready."Rebecca stirred, blinking up at him sleepily. "What time is it?""Early," Nicholas said. "You have to get back to the hospital today."Rebecca sat up slowly, wincing slightly as she moved. "Already?"Nicholas nodded. "Doctor Burke wants to see you. Make sure everything's healing properly."Rebecca stretched carefully, then swung her legs over the side of the bed. "Okay. Give me a few minutes."Nicholas waited while she got dressed, his mind elsewhere.The system's directive echoed in his head.Return to the hostel within 24 hours.No contact with any individual for subsequent 24 hours.He checked his phone again.The missed calls from Agnes were still there.Beckham's message stared back at him.“Time's running out, Mr. Keiser.”Nicholas shoved the phone into his pocket, He'd deal with it later.Right now, Rebecca needs him.They checked out of the hotel quickly, Nicholas
Chapter 67
Chapter 67.Nicholas left the apartment quietly, closing the door behind him.Rebecca was still asleep, her breathing soft and steady.He'd left a note on the nightstand: Gone to campus. Be back tomorrow or the next. Food is in the freezer xxxx,”The morning air was cool as Nicholas stepped outside, the sun climbing higher in the sky.He checked his phone.Eighteen hours left.The system's directive hung over him like a weight.Nicholas flagged down a cab, climbing into the back seat."Clinton University," he told the driver.The campus was an hour ride from the apartment district.Nicholas stared out the window as the city passed by, his mind working.He hadn't been to campus in days.The cab pulled up to the main gates, and Nicholas paid the driver, he decided to use the rest of the journey to stretch his legs. He stepped out, adjusting the collar of his new jacket.The clothes he'd bought from the boutique fit perfectly, dark jeans, a tailored black jacket, and crisp white sneaker
Chapter 68
Chapter 68.Nicholas spent the next twenty-four hours alone in his hostel room.No calls.No messages.No contact with anyone.The system's directive was clear, and Nicholas followed it to the letter; he didn't want to find out the consequences under any circumstance. He stayed inside, the door locked, the blinds drawn.He ordered food delivery twice, leaving cash in an envelope outside the door and retrieving the bags once the delivery person had left.He didn't speak to anyone.Didn't text Rebecca, didn't answer Agnes's calls, didn't respond to Beckham's message.Complete isolation.The hours crawled by.Nicholas spent most of the time lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling, his mind racing.Devon and the Crimson Brotherhood.The mysterious man from the restaurant and the hospital.Agnes's missed calls.Beckham's offer.Everything was circling, tightening around him like a noose.But the system had been silent.No new notifications.No new directives.Just silence.By the time t
Chapter 69
Chapter 69.Nicholas's phone buzzed as he walked across campus.He pulled it out, glancing at the screen.Agnes. Again. The name flashed across the display, insistent.Nicholas hesitated, then fibally answered. "Agnes.""We need to meet," Agnes said, her voice tight. "Now."Nicholas frowned. "What's wrong?""Not over the phone," Agnes said. "My office. One hour."The line went dead.Nicholas stared at his phone, his stomach twisting.Agnes never sounded like that.Never that tense, that urgent.Something was wrong.Nicholas checked the time, then flagged down a cab.Agnes's office was downtown, in a sleek high-rise that housed some of the city's top law firms.Nicholas had never been there once before, even when he'd first hired her to handle the investments.The cab dropped him off at the entrance, and Nicholas took the elevator to the fifteenth floor.The reception area was all glass and polished wood, minimalist and expensive.Nicholas gave his name to the receptionist, and she no
Chapter 70
Chapter 70. Nicholas left the lecture hall, his bag slung over one shoulder, his mind already shifting to the next task.The hallway was crowded with students, voices echoing off the walls as they moved between classes.Nicholas kept his head down, weaving through the crowd.Then he heard her voice."Nicholas!"He stopped. He knew that voice.Nicholas turned slowly.Clara stood a few feet away, her eyes locked on him.She looked different. Completely different. Her hair was pulled back messily, strands falling loose around her face.Her clothes were wrinkled, a simple sweater and jeans that looked like they'd been worn for days.Her eyes were red-rimmed, dark circles underneath.She looked exhausted.Desperate, too. Nicholas didn't move. "Clara."Clara took a step forward, then another, closing the distance between them."I need to talk to you," she said, her voice low and urgent.Nicholas glanced around at the students passing by, some of them already staring. "Not here."Clara
