Chapter 75 - Ninas Decision (1/2)

Nina's mind wandered. She didn't know how she was able to go down the Eiffel tower. Her knees were shaking, and her heart felt like it would suddenly burst out.

”Mrs.Cross! We've been looking for you!” It was one of her bodyguards.

Nina's face was white as if her soul just left her body. But she had to make sure that no one would suspect what happened.

”I wanted to see the tower so I came here. Anyway there's nothing to see here so let's go to the supermarket.” She said, trying to convince her bodyguards that everything was okay.

They accompanied her to buy some groceries, and she also went to a cake shop to buy one. She wanted to show them that she was okay so no one would suspect her.

When she arrived at the suite, she put all the things she bought in the kitchen, went to the bathroom and cried.

She broke down on the floor, her whole body was trembling. She wailed like there's no tomorrow. She couldn't believe that she was already trapped into Paolo Santelmo's scheme.

She had no other choice. Andrew's mom was more important than her own life. She saw how Andrew badly wanted to see his mother. Nina wouldn't risk her husband's mom for the sake of her own safety. She cannot do that.

Nina took a bath and fixed herself. She put on some makeup to hide her swollen eyes before Andrew arrived.

She then went to the kitchen and prepared the meal she wanted to cook for her husband.

When Andrew returned, Nina was happily waiting for him. But he noticed that she looked pale and asked her.

”Are you okay? You looked like you had seen a ghost.” He asked.

Nina bit her lips to stop it from trembling.

”I'm fine. I was just a little dizzy.” She answered.

”Okay. Let's eat and then see the doctor.” He said.

The lunch went smoothly. Nina didn't know how she was able to look Andrew in his eyes. She was able to talk to him like nothing happened. She had to be awarded the best act for pretending that she was okay.

After lunch, they went to a nearby hospital since Andrew already set an appointment for her check up. Nina was askes with some questions regarding her and her family's health history.

Then she went into a series of tests. It took her an hour to finish all of it while Andrew was outside patiently waiting. Nina wanted to tell Andrew, but she was afraid that Paolo's men were just around them and if he found out that she talked, he would kill Andrew's mother.

Nina saw Andrew sitting outside the test room. She decided to go to the restroom first while they waited for the results. She was washing her hands when a woman beside her suddenly spoke to her.

”Make sure you will not speak about anything to your husband. Paolo is not a patient man. Make a decision as soon as possible, or do we have to bring his mother's head in a plate so you could make sure that he's not bluffing?” The woman said.

She looked like in her mid twenties. She was wearing a doctor's coat, but Nina was sure that it was just a disguise.

Her heart started pounding again. Her body shivers by the words left by the woman. She could feel her knees trembling as she walked outside the restroom.

”Baby, is there something wrong?” Andrew asked with a frown face.

Nina glanced at him and smiled. She could feel her lips were shaking, but she still forced herself to smile at him.

”I-I'm just tired from all of those tests. I think I was having a headache.” She answered.

Andrew supported her by sitting down beside him. He bought a bottle of water for her and pulled her head on his shoulders.

”Rest. I'll wake you up once the doctor has the results.” Andrew whispered.

”No. I want to wait with you. I'm fine.”

He chuckled. ”Okay. By the way, I talked to my lawyers and instructed them to transfer some of my properties under your name. When we return home, you need to sign some papers as well.

Nina's heart was slowly being shattered. It was like Paolo said. It was happening so fast. She wanted to scream and tell Andrew to not do that, but again she was scared.

Then she saw the woman who talked to her in the restroom. She had never been scared of her life. Paolo's men were everywhere.
