"Oh, hello, sweetheart." Nikolai greeted playfully from the other end of the call. "I heard what happened. I thought you and that guy were pretty close, so… I wanted to know my fiancee's well-being!"
Zoey scoffed upon hearing his ridiculous fakery. What a douche. The nerve to even pretend but not even try to conceal his enjoyment about this entire ordeal.
"What do you want?" Without beating around the bush, Zoey inquired. "What the heck do you want from me, Nik?"
Zoey repeated. In her previous life, she didn't have such a problem until seven years later. But that problem was not even about Nikolai; it was about Inigo.
But in this lifetime, Nikolai was causing her unnecessary problems. Why? Just what changes did she make?
Contacting him again? Trying to make peace with him? The knowledge about Inigo's fake death?
