She hooked her fingers around Simon's and spoke softly. "Of course, I do. If I didn't, why would I be engaged to you?"
As soon as she said it, his kisses covered her again.
Niki raised her head, unable to even moan.
The man above her seemed determined to devour her, their passion continuing until the sky outside was pitch black.
Simon fell asleep. In the darkness, Niki opened her eyes silently.
She sat up, wincing at the soreness.
Damn, the sacrifices for this mission were too much!
She gritted her teeth and carefully removed a black diamond ring pendant from Simon's neck.
This ring was said to be a family heirloom of the Wakefields, but it also had other uses she wasn't clear on. After all, she was just in it for the money.
Niki pocketed the ring, changed her clothes, and left in the thick night.
A pre-arranged Lexus was waiting at the street corner. Niki started the car and sped away.
It was already past 4 a.m., the streets were empty, streetlights flickering eerily in the silence.
Niki's instincts screamed that something was wrong, a dark premonition clouding over her. She yanked the steering wheel, but it wouldn't budge!
Was it a malfunction or sabotage?!
She slammed on the brakes, but it was too late.
The car, like an out-of-control wild horse, crashed heavily into the building!
"Boom-"
In a deafening roar, Niki completely lost consciousness.
Six years later.
Wakefields' Group, conference room.
A tall man stood coldly, tossing a stack of papers onto the desk. "This is the trash you come up with after a month?"
The executives sweated, heads bowed, not daring to make a sound, the room so silent you could hear a pin drop.
Simon's eyes were dark with icy anger. "This report..."
Before he could finish, the conference room door was abruptly pushed open.
"Hi, is my dad here?"
A child's voice broke the dead silence like a thunderclap.
Two identical little boys stood in the doorway, one holding a tablet, tapping it a few times before tilting his head in confusion. "It should be here..."
An assistant rushed forward. "Whose kids are you? How did you get in here? You need to leave!"
But before he could reach them, the other child locked eyes with Simon and ran over excitedly. "Daddy!"
Caught off guard, Simon felt a little boy latch onto his leg.
The executives were stunned.
Everyone knew that since his fiancée had died in a car crash six years ago, Simon hadn't been with another woman, let alone having two kids pop up out of nowhere!
Simon's eyes narrowed. "What did you call me?"
Eddie Paxton beamed up at him, clutching his leg. "Daddy!"
Marvin Paxton came over too. "You might not believe it, but according to the genetic database, there's a 99.9% chance you're our biological father..."
He didn't get to finish before Simon grabbed him by the collar, lifting both boys in front of him.
"What do you think you're doing?" Marvin clutched his tablet, struggling.
"I'll have you know, child abuse is illegal. If you think you can abandon Mom and us, we won't let you off easy!"
It sounded like a threat, but with his baby face, it wasn't very intimidating. Instead, something fell out of his pocket during the struggle, and Simon quickly caught it.
Seeing what it was made Simon's pupils contract sharply.
It was a black diamond ring.
The very one Niki had taken when she disappeared all those years ago.
