“Lisa, calm down! What do you want?”
“What do I want?” Lisa’s voice cracked with fury. “I want justice for my dead child!”
“Your child?” Nicole frowned, utterly confused. She had no idea what Lisa was talking about.
“Because of you, Tristan forced me to abort my baby! Do you even realize? That baby was my ticket to becoming Mrs. Ford! Without the baby, Tristan doesn’t want me anymore. My career is ruined, and now I’m nothing but a homewrecker everyone despises!”
“You and Tristan had a child?” Nicole scoffed, her laugh dripping with cold disdain. She hadn’t expected that they even had a child together.
“And now it’s all gone!” Lisa shouted, her voice trembling with rage. “The doctor said I’ll never be able to have children again! Nicole, this is all your fault! You’ve taken everything from me, and I’ll never forgive you!”

“This is on you! You knew w Tristan was married, yet you still got involved with him. You should’ve known this day would come!”
“Shut up! Shut your mouth!”
Lisa was unhinged now, glaring at Nicole with wild eyes. She grabbed the glass of water laced with sleeping pills and forced it
against Nicole’s lips.
“Mmph-”
Nicole struggled, shaking her head and trying to resist, but Lisa pressed the knife deeper into her side.
The sharp pain overwhelmed her, and Nicole had no choice but to swallow the entire glass of drugged water.
Before long, her body felt heavy, her vision blurred, and she slipped into unconsciousness.
Once Nicole was out, Lisa tied her securely to a chair with rope. Then, she retrieved a can of gasoline and poured it in a circle around the coffee shop.
With everything set, Lisa took out her phone and dialed Tristan’s number.
When Tristan saw the call was from Lisa, he immediately rejected it without a second thought.
Lisa, undeterred, called again.
This time, Tristan answered, but before she could speak, his voice came sharp and cold.
“Leave, Lisa. I warned you to stay away. If you show up again, don’t hold me responsible for what happens next.
Hearing the i
icy disdain in his voice, Lisa’s entire body t trembled with fury.
Lisa couldn’t help but think back to the past. With just one call, Tristan would drop everything and rush to her side, showering her with sweet words and calling her “baby.”
He’d always come bearing gifts, lavishing her with attention.
But now? Now, he treated her like a disposable toy–used and discarded.
Not only had he forced her to lose the baby, but he had also ruined her reputation so thoroughly that she could no longer survive
back home.
Everything that had happened to her, she was determined to take out on Nicole.
She wanted to see if Tristan cared enough about Nicole to risk everything for her–even his own life.
Lisa ended the call and took a picture of Nicole, tied to the chair, unconscious
She sent the photo to Tristan.
It wasn’t long before his call came through.
