"Shawn, where is Nikolai? Is he alright?" Ivy inquired with worry when she noticed that Nikolai is nowhere to be seen in their Suite. Shawn gave her an assuring smile. "Ivy, don't worry. Boss will be fine. It's not easy to outweigh the boss. He is smarter, faster and stealthy than the men Christian sent. You don't worry. Let's go. I am sure the Boss will be back soon" he assured her. But Ivy is stressed. Based on what Shawn just shared, she understood that Christian sent those men to kidnap her and hurt Nikolai. 'That Christian deserves what he is going to get' she thought angrily. In the basement, Nikolai found the men waiting in front of the elevators. 'Stupid men. They took the bait ' he thought to himself. It's him who sent an empty car to the basement to divert their attention from Shawn. Nikolai banged a car parked nearby and hid behind a pillar beside the car. All the five men turned to look in the direction from where the sound came from. "What was that noise?"

The early next morning, the video recording of Christian plotting against Ivy to drug her was released by Adam and was released anonymously. Soon, the internet is flooded by comments against Christian. Everyone called out to ban the designs of Christian. And most importantly, the global award which was given to him was revoked by the committee. The reputation, name and fame Christian built over the graves of Nikolai's parents started to crumble. 'That liar, look at how he intentionally targeted Miss Johnson. He lied claiming that it was a misunderstanding. What a big scumbag' 'I heard that Christian is not a good man' 'There was a rumour that Christian killed his biggest competitor who was supposed to win the global award and was mysteriously dead a few weeks before the award ceremony ' 'John Sandler's death cannot be a coincidence. Christian must have killed his biggest competitor' As the internet started to buzz with building hatred for Christian. The woman who was kidna

"Christian, I suggest that you should leave. Your reputation is not very good at the moment. And I don't want to get tangled up in this mess along with you. And my wife doesn't want you to stay with us" the lawyer friend spoke bluntly, much to Christian's displeasure. Christian was sipping his whiskey when the lawyer broached the subject hesitantly. Everyone knows that Christian is a sinking ship. Who would want to sink along with him? Being a lawyer, he himself knows about that fact. Christian was useful as long as he had money and power. But now that his reputation took the hit and he will be put behind the bars sooner or later, the lawyer decided to send him away. Christian looked at his friend with an angry glare. "What? Your wife is scared of me? As far as I remembered, every girl I sent to your room came back abused and traumatized. Does your wife know about that side of your character? Let's call her over here and disclose all of that to her, what do you say?" Christian

'Lets not affect our friendship because of the past. I will be happy if I could help you in any way' Richard offered genuinely. Nikolai is surprised and so is Ivy. They were not expecting this from Richard. 'Looks like you became mature, Mr. Nina' Nikolai said with a hint of smile. But Richard didn't hold back his chuckle. 'Of course, if I have a friend like you, then I have to grow faster to catch up with you' he joked. Nikolai smiled slightly. He is glad he didn't gain another enemy in the form of Richard Nina. In this one decade, he offended a lot of people in his quest for revenge. Now that he found Ivy, he wanted to leave all that and live a happy life with her. 'You don't worry about anything here. I will take care of Christian. Will meet you after coming back. You rest and recover well' Nikolai advised. Richard on the other hand smiled fondly. 'Sure' with that said, they both disconnected the call. After the call with Richard, Nikolai seemed to be in a good mood

Inside Christian's holiday home, he is relaxing without any fear of being caught. He doesn't even know that Nikolai is coming for him. He is listening to some music with his eyes closed. So he didn't immediately hear the small sound of the door opening. Nikolai, Shawn and Axel quietly made their way inside Christian's holiday home. Nikolai is in the lead, while Shawn and Axel are a step behind him on either side.They stopped when they saw Christian relaxing on the couch with his eyes closed.Nikolai gave a nod to Shawn, who stealthily approached Christian from behind and stabbed him near his neck with a needle filled with Chloroform.That's when Christian's eyes blinked open with shock. He tried to push Shawn away, but noticed that his limbs are feeling heavy and he is feeling dizzy. "Who...who are you?" he demanded.Nikolai appeared in front of Christian, shocking the hell out of him. "It..it's you?" he mumbled, gradually losing his conscience."You should have expected a visit f
