Nathaniel squeezed her wrist a little more and gritted his teeth.
Her words were rather clear.
She would leave him alone in this villa.
Was this her way of forcing him to sign?
âLet me go!â Lucinda hissed and pushed his hand away.
Before she turned to leave again, Nathaniel said hurriedly, âJust one year!â
Lucinda paused and looked at him in confusion before he continued, âFor three years, you stayed married to me, took care of me, cooked for me⦠This year, Iâll repay all you did.
Once I pay off everything, Iâll leave and never disturb your life again if thatâs what you want.
â
âReally?â
Lucinda squinted at him in suspicion.
âYou will get out of my Life for good, yes?â
Nathaniel held his breath and said with great difficulty, âYes, I will.
I mean it.
â
âOkay then.
â She nodded and took out her phone to record his promise.
âDonât forget this.
â
Nathaniel nodded, his face void of any emotions.
After a while, he said, âI made you dinner.
Should I serve you some?â
Lucinda shrugged.
If they were to stick to the agreement, she would let him do what he had to do.
At least, his cooking wasnât as bad as it was in the beginning.
Lucinda ate to her fill before she went to the study to deal with some business.
Once she was done with work, she went to her room, where she took a shower and went to bed.
The next morning, she got ready to go to Angle Intl as usual.
But as she walked out of the gate of Bay Villa, a group of policemen in uniform walked towards her.
The leading police officer showed her his credentials and said, âMiss Ross, Iâm Amon Walsh, the captain of the third detachment of the police department in Forden.
Youâre being accused of trespassing into a private house, inflicting intentional injury and causing intentional damage to a private property.
Please, come with us.
â
The police? So soon?
Lucinda wasnât surprised.
She had expected this.
She held out her hand and smiled.
âLetâs go then.
