"I contacted Ivan for the report and it's here." She said as we entered the office
"Why Ivan?" I frowned. I hated that man. He looked like he could betray us at any moment.
"You know it, he is trustworthy and has been with us since the beginning. Papa (Grandpa) too thinks he's on our side." She said.
"But you still could've told me. I would've asked the investigator." I argued.
"Oh the same investigator who threatened you to either pay a million dollars or he would expose all your personal information including the size of your-" she laughed.
"Ok, I understand. Give me the file." I said grumpily
After reading it I was shocked.
"See... neither of them was lying." Nova said.
"And he's on his tail..." I said.
"Wait.. who is after who?" She questioned
"Julius is after James. Do you seriously not see the news?" I said
"Nicolette was right." She said.
"About what?"
"Julius torturing that kid-"
"I told you!" Nicolette shouted from the door as she struggled to come in but Emma held her back.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Come in the two of you." Nova said
"I told her not to go. But she was too curious." Emma said
"He has him now, doesn't he?" Nicolette asked tearing up.
"No, they are still searching for him." I told her.
"Please, I beg you...please save him. If not for me at least do it for my unborn baby."
"I know it's not my place to speak but please...do something Nova." Emma said.
"We'll do something." I reassured them after receiving a nod from Nova.
"Do it now!" Nicolette stomped her foot
"Nicole, calm down." Emma said.
"Emma's right, munchkin." I said.
"Give me some time..." Nova said.
"You want time?! His life is in danger and you want time?" She scoffed.
"I-"
"Don't give me any excuses..." she threatened .
"I can't believe you are my mother's daughter. She is such a loving, compassionate woman and look at you... a monster a feelingless monster-"
"Enough, please Nicolette." I pleaded seeing tears in Nova's eyes.
"You don't even know how it feels...to lose someone you love-" Nicolette was cut by Nova shouting.
"SHUT UP! AND GO TO YOUR ROOM THIS INSTANT!"
Scared Nicolette scurried away. After she left, Nova muttered a small sorry and went out of the room.
