The Woman From Hell

I actually did not expect Tyler and Susan to regain the courage to be together again after one conversation. However, I hoped that they could change their minds a little because of it so that there may be hope for them in the future.

I started the car and was going to go to the company, but when I was waiting at a red light on the way, I received a call from Nicky.

I had already deleted her WhatsApp, but I forgot about her contact number.

I did not really want to answer it, but she called me several times. I answered it in order to reduce the noise. "Tell me, what is it this time?"

"I didn't expect you to know it's me." Nicky's slightly smiling voice came from the speaker, and I could imagine the expression on her face at the moment.

Not wanting to chat with her, I cut in again. "If there's nothing, I'm going to hang up."

I was not just making a comment and was about to hang up the call after saying that. Nicky obviously knew that I would do it, so she took the lead and continued, "I have something to talk to you about. Let's meet and talk."

"What's the matter?" I asked. If it was not something I was interested in, I would not want to meet her for it. After all, meeting Nicky was very dangerous.

Nicky caught the impatience in my words and just added leisurely, "Don't you want to know about your mother?"

I was momentarily shocked by what she said. I stepped on the brakes and pulled to the side to stop.

I frowned, and my breathing gradually became short. "How do you know about my mother? Where did you find out about her?"

"You don't have to worry about how I found out about her. You just need to know that I know everything about your mother now. I'll give you 15 minutes to come to me. I won't wait for you if you're late."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

"Nicky! Nicky!"

The phone beeping sounded through the car. She had already hung up.

I took a deep breath and pursed my lips. Was it true that she knew everything about my mother?

After so many years, I thought I

would never have a chance to learn the secrets regarding my mother in this life. However, I also never

thought that it would be Nicky who

brought up this matter again.

I did not know if she really knew everything, but I could not help but be curious after hearing her tone.

Perhaps she was telling the truth?

Perhaps now that things had passed, I could learn about my mother's secret.

I ought to go check it out.

I made my decision. I started the car

again and drove to the locationCcontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Nicky mentioned. On the way,

called Theo and informed him about it. He sounded anxious. "Don't rush there. I'll go with you."

"I'm on my way."

"Where's the location? I'll go there now."

I shared Nicky's location with Theo. His tone was heavy. "It's a little far away from me now. I'll try my best to get there. Can you contact Marius or Tyler? Don't go alone, do you understand?"

"I understand."

After I stopped talking with Theo. I wanted to call Tyler but recalled that he was with Susan, so I did not want to disturb him. Instead, I called Marius. The call rang for a long time, but he did not answer. Perhaps he was busy. I did not have time to call him again as I had already arrived at my destination.

After getting out of the car, I walked for a while before I arrived at the place Nicky mentioned. It was an old-looking bookstore. The street was also very old and sparsely populated.

It was hard for me not to suspect that Nicky had ulterior motives after coming here.

I called Marius again, but still, there was no answer. Forget it, he was unreliable during critical moments. It was still daytime, so perhaps nothing would happen.

With a slight push, the door of the bookstore opened...
