Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 582

Chapter 582 

“Have you interrogated those men?” Nicholas asked as he sat down on the couch with his hawk like gaze boring into Edward.

A chill ran down Edward’s spine when he felt the terrifying and oppressive presence in the air.

Because of his fear of what might happen if he dallied, he hurriedly reported on the interrogation results.

“The men said the person who gave them the orders was an Asian-looking woman.”

“Asian-looking? Who is it?”

Nicholas’ tone promised death for the culprit.

Edward’s legs began to shiver. “I’ve done some digging… The only person in Vienna who has any grudge against Miss Tessa is… Hayley Stone.”

The name uttered made Nicholas’ face cloud over.

He didn’t expect Hayley to have the guts to target Tessa after his warning.

This time, he would not be merciful.

“Go, bring her to me. If you can’t find her, then the Stone Family shall be eradicated from the world!”

One look at the gloomy face, and Edward knew his president was fuming.

“I’ve sent some men for a follow-up investigation,” he cautiously reported. “I believe we’ll have some news soon.”

Hearing that, Nicholas nodded. “And the group of men?”

“We’ve sent them to a police station. I’ve made sure they won’t have a good time there,” Edward answered.

The report made Nicholas give a satisfied nod, but he was still seething with anger.

Even now, the mere thought of what had happened terrified him to the core.

He didn’t dare to imagine what would’ve happened if he hadn’t given Tessa a bodyguard, or if he had arrived slightly later.

Who knew what horrifying events might’ve occurred then?

The memory of her breaking down in his arms made his heart ache even now.

“Use everything we have at our disposal to capture Hayley!”

This woman was a ticking time bomb. He had to get rid of her before his departure, or he

With a few quick steps, he walked over to hold her restless hands before lying down on the bed to pull her into an embrace.

“Don’t be scared. I’m here. No one can hurt you,” he repeated over and over again as he stroked her back.

Perhaps due to his soothing pats, she eventually calmed down.

She blearily woke up with a familiar scent in her nose-a scent that made her feel extremely safe.

Slowly, she opened her eyes to find Nicholas’ handsome face before her eyes.

“Nicholas,” she mumbled.

“Sleep,” he said as he continued to stroke her back. “I’ll be here with you.”

In response, she nodded before closing her eyes in exhaustion.

Soon, her breathing evened out.

As the white rays of moonlight drifted in through the window, Nicholas looked down at the sleeping face of the woman in his arms.

First, he kissed her bright forehead, then her soft lips. Finally, he fell asleep with her safe in his arms.
