Chapter 85 Nina was gasping for breath, letting the cold wind hit her, yet she remained oblivious to the chill as she was too consumed by her need to escape.
She didn't know how long she'd been running. Exhausted, she finally stopped, panting heavily.
With her hands on her knees, tears streamed down her face, falling to the ground without her noticing.
In that moment, Nina realized her cheeks were soaked with tears, each warm droplet turning icy, stinging her skin.
Why did it have to be this way? Why? Nina silently questioned herself, why did all the good things turn out to be lies? She believed that Nash's most tender and attractive demeanor was merely a facade of compensation and guilt..

Nina sank to the ground, feeling her heart grow cold, her arms tightly wrapped around herself.
She wished she had a shell to retreat into, where she wouldn't suffer any more pain.
But what could she do now? She had lost miserably.
After what felt like an eternity, Nina's stiff hands finally pushed her upright. She glanced back at the imposing villa behind her, realizing that Mrs. York's status was never meant for her.
But where else could she turn? Nina's hands and feet were ice-cold, and she had nothing with her, not even her phone.
She didn't know where she could go tonight.

Zoe glanced repeatedly at Nash. She was deeply concerned about his affairs, fearing he might be blinded and fall for Miranda again. If that happened, chaos would surely ensue in the York family.
However, Zoe was relieved to see Nina return with a happy expression, noticing an improvement in their relationship. So, she shouldn't worry too much about intervening.

His brows furrowed in thought. The timeline between Miranda's om departure and the tshe allegedly spent with him that night didn't align. Nash remained skeptical about the events of that evening.
Perhaps it wasn't Miranda after all.
His phone rang at that moment.
A voice cthrough, "Mr. York, Miranda did visit you that night, but she went elsewhere later on.
N Considering the timeline you O' provided, it's highly unlikely that woman was Miranda."
Nash tapped his fingers on the desk. Memories of that night flashed m before him. He couldn't recall the woman's face or much about her, but it felt strangely familiar...
