His love

Nicola once said, “We all came empty–handed as the day we’re born. We ought to leave empty–handed. Be faithful to one person, and keep your soul free.” 

Willow covered her mouth. She couldn’t stop sobbing. 

Nicola was cheerful and optimistic. But in some ways, she was also very conservative. 

She only wanted to give herself to the man she deeply loved. But those disgusting men had violated Nicola. 

Nicola must have felt that she was no longer clean. That’s why she was in so much pain. She couldn’t even muster the strength to live. 

Since Nicola was already violated, Willow couldn’t let those accusations tarnish Nicola further. 

So, even though she was no longer alive, Willow wanted Zayn to testify in court to clear Nicola of any 

wrongdoing. 

Trembling, Willow reached for her phone on the coffee table and dialed Zayn’s number. 

She waited for a while before hearing his indifferent and somewhat impatient voice. “What is it?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Mr. Carter, you promised to testify for Nicola. I hope you can prove her innocence.” 

“Willow, you seem to have forgotten something.” 

Willow didn’t understand what Zayn meant by that, but she knew he would explain. So, she didn’t ask further and waited quietly for him to continue. 

“Willow, I promised to help you prove Nicola’s innocence, but only if you satisfy me.” 

Zayn’s voice was tinged with disdain as he continued, “Right now, I’m not satisfied with you!” 

Willow was so angry that she wanted to curse, but she needed his help. So, she suppressed her anger and spoke, “Mr. Carter, what do I need to do to satisfy you?” 

She didn’t want to get close to Zayn anymore, but Nicola was the best in the world. Willow could not let Nicola be known as a murderer after her death. 

Willow would bear all the blame by herself. 

“Look for Room 2208 at Velvet Noir tonight at 9:00 pm!” 

Zayn hung up the phone without any hesitation. 

Willow knew that his invitation would mean nothing good. But to clear Nicola’s name and establish Sylvia as the murderer, she decided to meet Zayn. 

She clearly knew she shouldn’t be doing this. But it would be worth it if Willow could use her broken body to make those people she hated pay a price. 

Unable to endure the pain any longer, Willow bought some painkillers. 

After eating a simple dinner, she put on a coat and hurried to Velvet Noir. 

She 

felt unusually cold recently. She still shivered while wearing thick clothes when the air conditioning 

was on. 

The cab driver stopped the car on the roadside opposite Velvet Nolr. As Willow walked this short distance, she felt an immense coldness throughout her body. 

Her life had almost come to an end. 

As she suppressed the tremble in her body, Willow walked to the private room mentioned by Zayn. 

The door was not closed tightly. With a gentle push, the door was already open. 

She immediately understood why Zayn insisted on her coming over. It was because Kenan was also there.
