After years of keeping him on a leash, she now wanted to cast him aside and run off with another man? That was
a bit too brazen, even for her.
Victor sped home, fury propelling him, and headed straight for Nadia's room.
Nadia had just gotten back from work and was about to take a shower. She had barely begun undressing when
Victor barged in.
Startled, she quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself.
Victor sneered, his face full of mockery. "What's this? Saving yourself for that pretty boy?"
"Get out!" Nadia snapped, not wanting to waste another word on him.
She had once planned to tell him the truth about her illness, as Suzy had suggested. But the day she tried to
bring it up...
"Victor, if-just hypothetically-if | were sick..."
Before she could even finish her sentence, Victor cut her off with an impatient scoff. "What now? Another pity

And now this? What's next? Haven't you exhausted your bag of schemes yet?"
Nadia was speechless.

In his eyes, she was nothing more than manipulative and scheming.
The words she had meant to say got stuck in her throat and were swallowed back down.
What was the point of explaining if he would never believe her?
Seeing Victor standing there motionless, Nadia frowned and moved to leave the room.
Victor, already fuming, grew even angrier at her growing indifference. Just as she tried to pass him, he grabbed
her wrist tightly.
"Nadia, robbing the cradle now, are we? Aren't you afraid of karma catching up with you?"
"And what does it matter to you?" Nadia shot back coolly, her expression unyielding. Whether he's twenty or
eighteen, if | can have him, that's my talent. If you think you can do better, be my guest and give it a try!"
"Talent?" Victor's tone grew even more mocking, his sneer deepening. "If you didn't have money, do you really
think he'd give you a second glance?"
He scoffed, as though her confidence was laughable. That boy toy was only after her wealth

and status. If she were an ordinary woman who was nearly thirty, he probably wouldn't even spare her a passing
look.
"I don't care," Nadia said smoothly, her tone unwavering. "If he wants money, I've got it. Whatever he asks for,
I'll give it to him."
"That money comes from the Steele family!" Victor snapped, his anger flaring. "You're using my money to fund
your little fling? Do you think I'm just going to stand by and let that happen?"
"Why so angry?" Nadia said, her gaze unwavering as she looked at him, his temple pulsing with visible fury.
"Victor Steele, ever since you found out aboutand him, you've gotten angrier and angrier every tit's
brought up.
"Have you ever thought that maybe the reason you're so upset isn't because you feel played, but because..."
She leaned in closer, her voice dropping. "You're jealous."
“Jealous?” For a brief moment, Victor's eyes flickered with something he quickly masked with derision. "Are you
serious? Letmake one thing clear. Even if every woman on this pldisappeared tomorrow, | still wouldn't

"But even if | don't want you, there's no way I'm letting you shack up with that pretty boy. I've put up with nearly
twenty years of your nonsense, and you think you can just walk away and play house with him? Dream on."
Victor's temper flared dangerously as he stepped closer, yanking the towel from around her body and pinning
her against the door.
"Planning to save yourself for him?" he hissed, his voice low and furious. "Well, | won't let that happen."
"Victor Steele, letgo!" Nadia struggled against him, her voice sharp with anger.
The more she resisted, the more Victor's control slipped, his rage boiling over until-
Suddenly, Nadia coughed violently, blood spilling from her lips, and then her entire body went limp as she
collapsed unconscious.
