“What happened?”

“Out of nowhere, his wife met her end in a tragic accident. The man landed a massive insurance fortune, cleared his debts, and turned his leftovers into a billionaire’s portfolio!”

“Seriously?”

“Cross my heart. I’d drop dead if this isn’t true!”

As Niko found himself drawn into their tale, an officer finally summoned him.

Niko had braced himself for criminal charges, but surprisingly, they held him for only two weeks. That seemed fair. After all, he was no criminal.

Two weeks on, Mila showed up to collect him personally.

She had agreed to compensate him with $800,000. However, Niko had a change of heart. Despite the allure of $800,000, it paled in comparison to his towering debts.

“Mila, keep your money. I acted of my own free will. You’re the one person I truly love! I made a promise to your grandfather to always protect you!”

Mila was utterly taken aback. She hadn’t anticipated such selflessness from Niko. Compared to Adrian, Niko’s loyalty and dedication were unparalleled.

“Really? Are you certain?”

Niko gave a resolute nod, seizing Mila’s hand. “Every single day of those fourteen, you were on my mind.”

Mila’s cheeks warmed with a flush of shyness. “Are you trying to fool me? I’m no naive graduate, easily duped by flattery!”

“It’s the truth!” Niko gathered his bravery and embraced Mila tightly. His embrace caught Mila off guard, and she forgot to resist.

“Mila, no woman has ever captivated me the way you do. You outshine everyone with your charm. Even Joelle pales in comparison; it’s you I truly desire.” His words moved her deeply.

She rationalized that since Stephen trusted Niko, he had to be a good choice.

“Niko, will you only have eyes for me from now on?”

“Without a doubt!” he stated firmly.

“And will you always protect me?”

“Of course! I’ll guard you with my life and ensure no harm comes your way!”

“Good.” Convinced of Niko’s loyalty, Mila felt she had finally met someone more devoted than Adrian. This was enough to eclipse Joelle.

“Here’s $800,000 for now. As my partner, you need to be second to none.”

“Understood.”

Fred, desperate to rid himself of his troublesome sister, quickly set up the wedding once Mila consented to marry Niko. On their wedding night, Niko presented a stack of life insurance policies, all with his name as the beneficiary.

“Why so many policies?” Mila asked.

“Out of love for you.”

Blind to any deceit, Mila signed the documents without any reservations.

Meanwhile, Joelle and Adrian found themselves in another country.

In a display of ostentation about her marital bliss, Mila rang Joelle in the dead of night.

“Joelle, can you believe it? I finally have an amazing husband!”

“Really? I figured you were still sore from our last violin duel. Guess it was something else.”
