The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1398

James caught on to what Mirabella meant right away. Without asking any more questions, he poured the pills into his palm, picked up the glass of water from the coffee table, and downed the medicine in one go.

Mirabella clicked her tongue, teasing, "What if it was poison?"

James placed the glass back down, looked at her, and with a soft smile, pointed to his heart, "You wouldn’t."

Her eyes followed his finger, and a blush crept up her cheeks. She thought, maybe she should've prepared a poison after all!

...

Before long, Dane pulled up outside James's villa.

As the car came to a stop, Nikolai looked out at the gate, then turned to Dane, "Dane, I’ll go in alone. You should head back."

Dane was just about to unbuckle his seatbelt when he heard this. He hesitated, then turned to his father, "But..."

Nikolai cut him off, "It's best if you don’t come with me."

Dane paused for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, call me when you’re done."

"No need, I’ll grab a cab back," Nikolai said, shaking his head as he stepped out of the car.

Dane watched his father walk towards the gate, his eyes narrowing slightly, and then drove away.

Once Dane's car disappeared down the road, Nikolai turned back and pressed the doorbell.

In no time, Wyatt came hurrying out. Seeing Nikolai, he gave a slight nod and opened the door, "Nikolai, glad you’re here."
