Sky laughs hysterically. "Ha. If Karma doesn't f*****g hit you, I will! Thanks to you, now I believe in hatred at first sight."
"Back off Skylar, it's our problem, not yours. I don't care if you hate me because that feeling is mutual." Jack sneered.
She raised her eyebrows and showed him her middle finger. "Yeah, whatever! And never let me see your face again with that b***h Lorie."
"Shut up, will you?!" He said he was pissed off.
"Hmph!"
Jack turns his gaze to Nichole and pursues her with the utmost tenderness. "Nichole honey, what you saw in the penthouse ... I, It's not what you think, Lorie and I don't have that kind of relationship, please, don't think about it too much." He said, and keep going. "I know I've made a lot of mistakes, but please forgive me this time. Just give me a chance, please."
Nichole met his gaze, she stared at him coldly and perplexed. But deep down she wants to run away and erase all the pain she has felt through him, she is neither cowardly nor stupid to give him another chance to break her heart again, but something in her telling to give him a second chance. No, it's more than an opportunity to make her heart feel at ease.
She took a deep breath and takes the courage to speak. "I'm quiet, but I'm not blind Jack, I saw with my own eyes what I saw that day. I don't hate you, I'm just disappointed that you turned into everything you said you'll never be, it hurts so much, and I wanted to hate you so badly for that. But every time I remember and can't forget all the times you've made me feel like I was made of the sun, I cried silently. I didn't see it coming at me at all, so don't apologize, it wasn't your fault, it's my mistake... For trusting you. I met you for a reason and leaving you was my decision. I hope you understand that."
Jack Spirit collapsed. He tumbles while he talks. "So-so, you're leaving me now?" His eye narrowed.
"Yeah... It'll be good for both of us."
He choked, hoping he was just hearing things.
"How... How can you easily say that it would be good for us, Nichole? .. We've been dating for five years in a couple of months! Is it really difficult for you to understand me, to end up breaking up with me ?! I love you more than myself but, how about you did you really love me with all your heart, or maybe you've never loved me?" He said it ridiculously.
Sky's eyes are widening with astonishment, she can't believe it came from an i***t like him to question Nichole ridiculously after he cheats. And she swears she wants to curse this man. "Wha--"
But. Before Sky could speak and rebuke Jack, Nichole slapped him heavily in the face, struggling to hold back the tears.
"You have no right to question my love for you, asshole!" She screamed at his face.
Skylar was speechless like everyone else who looked at them both.
Jack didn't react to Nichole's slap, but grabbed her wrist immediately and turned it hard in his anger. "Yes! I have f*****g rights, Nichole! You're mine, and you're mine alone. So don't ever try to leave me. I won't let you. Over my dead goddamn body!" He roared. Suddenly, he felt the fear of loss as if he were about to lose something precious and irreplaceable to him...
Nichole can't believe Jack's true color was exposed before her eyes, behind that gentle and caring man she knows was a ruthless and compulsive man.
"Let me go." She said.
"NO. You're not leaving me. Nichole Gale! I won't let you."
"I said, let go of me!"
She tried to separate herself from his hands and leave her no choice but to kick him there.
He released his grip on her wrist when he didn't expect Nichole to kick him "Ahhh!" Jack screamed in pain struggling to stand properly after being beaten in his private part.
"Then go and die now! I don't care whatever happens to you, because we're never gonna end up like this if you really care about me in the first place! Thanks to you, I learned that men are unreliable as they seem and promises were nothing but just sweet coated lies."
She went on, her hands trembling... "So, please... Please, don't make me wish that I'd never met you. Because I'm on the edge of hating you."
Jack was a bit embarrassed and full of guilt lowering his eyes and saying no words.
He wants to speak up but, he had no courage to do so,
"From today onward we don't have ties with each other Jack, your business is not my business anymore. I don't care whenever you cheat or slept with someone else." She declared. "Sky, come on."
Nichole grabbed Sky's hand and was about to leave when a third party suddenly stepped forward and blocked Nichole's view.
It was no one but her great pretender stepsister, Jane.
She rushes toward where Jack is. "Jack! Are you alright?"
Sky enlarged her eyes in disgust at Jane's sudden appearance. "What the hell a shameless b***h like you doing here?" Tilting her head in thought.
Jane sideways glances at Sky and crossed her arms. "Excuse me, do I know you? How dare you insult me."
Sky stands firm with her hands clasped behind her back. "I'm not insulting you b***h, I'm describing YOU. Not anyone but YOU."
"What?!" Jane becomes furious grinding her teeth.
Although Skylar remains calm, there was a touch of anger in her eyes. "Are you deaf or dumb? I said you were a shameless b***h for not knowing your place and stealing someone... Ah no. It should be, your a w***e snake crawling at your sister's man!"
"YOU!! How dare you call me stupid!" Jane lifted her hand into the air, ready to hit Sky's face when Sky caught her hand that Jane couldn't let go of.
"Let go of me!" Jane screams and tries to shake her off. But with Sky's physical strength that matches a man that seems impossible.
"Oh, sorry did I hurt your feelings when I called you stupid? I thought you already knew..." Sky said innocently and stepped forward to mutter. "The pain you feel is nothing compared to what you did to your sister, but thanks to you she no longer needed to suffer from dealing with an arrogant serpent-like you."
As Nichole watched the raucous scene in front of her, Nichole couldn't take it anymore and came over to stop them.
"You!" Jane's shrill, sharp voice echoed in the coffee shop, making Nichole's headache.
"Sky, stop it," Nichole's firm voice reached Sky and Jane's ears.
"Jane, have you had enough? You're both attracting too many people. We're at a public coffee shop not at a freaking scene of some TV drama!" Nichole said.
Sky tosses off Jane's hand with disgust, but as soon as Jane's eyes fell on Nichole, she became even more restless. "What's the point of doing that when we've already caused too many scenes here," Jane uttered in dismay.
"And sister, could you please stop making things difficult for Jack? Is embarrassing him not enough yet? If you want to leave just leave. He's already apologized to you, and that shows how sincere he was to you. Are you still jealous because Jack picked me?" Jane looked at her mockingly.
"Me, jealous of you? God bless your delirious heart, Jane. You've got nothing I should be jealous of. So if you don't have anything important to say we're leaving. You're wasting my time talking about your bullshit." Nichole responds in a sarcastic tone and turned away.
"Then why do you make things difficult for us if you weren't jealous? You're doing this on purpose? Is this your revenge?"
Nichole turned to them once again and a cold smile flashed through her face. "Hah, revenge?" She rolled her eyes, and she said. "I haven't done anything yet, and revenge sounds a little mean, I prefer calling it Returning the favor, Lorie Jane." She said plausibly calmly.
"Remember... Lorie Jane Salvatore, from the moment you jumped onto Jack's bed and seduced him as a w***e does, we were no longer sisters. I'll give him to you since you like leftovers, but I also have a request for you, that is. Don't pretend to be familiar with me, Anymore, because I'm not going to waste my relationship and goodwill for you."
"What??!! Take back what you said!"
Jane burst into a rage at Nichole's insulting words. Nichole let her be. And left the shop with Sky to returned to Henry's office.

"So you're trying to say, Reine, is going to pretend as an innocent young lady in front of him? What kind of crap are you talking about Master!" Sky slapped the desk aloud.
Upon hearing and receiving Sky's anger blew Henry out of his seat frightened by Sky's strong dominant voice.
If he just knew that Nichole would tell Sky everything he should have already hide at this moment from her. Although he has superior power, when it comes to these two fierce ladies he becomes submissive. Even he wondered what made him like that, too.
"It's not like that, S-Skylar please calm down... Let me explain--"
Sky interrupted him from completing his sentence. "You want me to calm down? Master your fully aware that Reine was not yet emotionally healed! She just went through a break with the person she thought who is loyal to her but ended up deceiving her and cause her to be in such a state.."
"And now you want her to be tied to that tyrant bastard man for holy f*****g years, where is the justice there, Master!"
Henry sigh and can't bear it anymore. "What are you being mad for Skylar? Reine has already agreed to do it, and it's not like you who's going to marry that man."
"Master!" She yelled at him.
"What? Did I say anything wrong?" Henry said and avoid Sky's murderous look.
"Stop arguing, you two," Nichole warned.
"But Reine! Why would you suddenly accept a mission like this all of a sudden without telling me first?" Sky complained about it.
Nichole knows that Sky was only concerned for her, well, who wouldn't be worried when it involves highly aristocratic people and of course a sudden marriage contract that Nichole once believed and imagined as a sacred and one life event that requires commitment and true love relationship. Was now shattered into pieces.
"It happens fast and I forgot about it, so long story short. That tyrant doesn't know, and he shouldn't know I'm an agent, am I right, Henry?" Nichole ask.
"Absolutely," Henry affirmed.
"Why is that?"
"Yes?"
"Why he's not allowed to know who am I? Why do we need to bother to put such an act in front of him? Is there a particular reason?" Her face stiffens.
Henry sits back properly and firmly locked eyes on hers. "Basically because the Organization must be kept hidden in the eye of the public."
"I don't quite understand, Henry. He's our customer, so why? Care to elaborate?"
"No, honestly it wasn't David who contact me, it was his assistant. But the real problem here is. You Reine. Your identity as a secret agent. You can't marry him as your current Identity. You probably don't want to be suspected, do you?"
"What bullshit are you talking about Henry?"
"It's not bullshit, Reine. A great man like David Tyler, won't let you off the hook. He won't hesitate to kill you once he knows who really you are. And even if I am him, I would not let a secret agent like you who kill mercilessly by my side, who knows what intention you have behind my back and as my wife in the paper."
"Wow, as in wow. Henry, do I seem like someone who harbors bad intentions?"
"Ehem* It's not what I mean don't be offended Reine, but. the other seems made you a nickname aren't you aware of it? Ugh. wait, let me think about it... Sky. What was it again?" Henry asked intentionally.
"Oh, Reine's nickname was widely known as Evil reincarnate." Sky smirk.
"Oh! right, you're known as Evil reincarnate!" Henry acts like he suddenly remembers and teases Nichole more. "Haha, can't you believe it? Someone dares to even give you a nickname. Such a daring person, I should reward him for his bravery."
"S-Shut up Henry... Do you wish to die early?" Her face flushed red.
The two sneakered after seeing Nichole's flushed expression. "I'm just kidding, just kidding."
"So, I'll act as an innocents lady in front of him only until the contract end right?" Nichole tries to change the topic back.
"To be precise, you'll act as an innocent loving wife of David Tyler until the contract's end, his assistant will explain the details, so you should meet him first," Henry explained, Nichole nodded.
"Wait a minute! Do you mean, now?" Sky asks.
"Yeah, Reine needs to meet him. The sooner the better, so she could prepare herself."
"I don't get what you mean master, what do you mean by prepare? Is this freaking mission dangerous?!"
"Yeah... Maybe, I don't know..."
"What kind of answer is that, Master?"
"You must ask yourself first, what kind of a question is that, Sky? I'm not married yet, so how am I supposed to know?"
Nichole chuckles. "So do I."
"But soon you will be... Reine."
