Nina moaned comfortably. “Where did you learn this technique, Luca?”

“I devised it myself. How does it feel?” Luca looked at Nina’s face and planned how she could make her life more comfortable. If what Nina said were true, Percy would not let her go that easily, and he might be able to find her by today.

“This is great. You’re so amazing, Luca. You’re well-educated, gentle, and caring, not to mention you’re a great cook. You even know how to give great massages too! Any man would be very lucky to marry you,” Nina praised. At the same time, she thought of Bianca.

Luca’s personality reminded her of Bianca before she lost her memories.

It was understandable that Luke was interested in Luca. Women like her deserved to be loved and pampered. Any man would want their wife to be like that.

Luca smiled but said nothing. She continued pressing certain spots on Nina’s temples to make her feel better.

She was not as amazing as Nina said. She imagined that Nina would hate her if Nina knew that her hands were stained in the blood of the innocent.

The Bianca from before could withstand all external pressure and remain by Luke’s side. That was because she believed that one day, she would be as outstanding as Luke.

The Bianca now could only use those external qualities to cover the darkness inside. That alone took almost all her strength. How was she going to be more outstanding?

Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Luca stood up and said, “That should be the room service. You should go and wash up.”

“Alright.” Nina stood up lazily. The massage had improved her headache. Her muscles were still slightly sore, but that was the extent of her discomfort.

She went into the bathroom and closed the door.

Luca went to answer the door, thinking that it was the room service. She opened the door without looking through the peephole, and she was surprised when she saw the person standing outside.

The person standing outside the door was none other than Percy.

Percy was also surprised to see that Nina was not the person who opened the door. He glanced at the room number again to make sure he was not at the wrong room, then asked, “Where’s Nina?”

“Nina? I don’t know her. You must be at the wrong room.” Luca knew that Nina was not willing to talk to the man. She wanted to close the door, but Percy held it open forcefully.

“Nina checked into this room with her ID. She must be inside,” Percy said coldly. He did not expect that Nina was staying with another person.

Fortunately for Luca, she was a woman. If she were a man, Percy would not hesitate to off her.

“Who are you? Why should I let you in?” Luca tried to stall him.

“I’m looking for Nina. You’d better get lost if you don’t want any trouble,” Percy said impatiently.

When the maid woke up earlier that morning, she found that Nina was not in her bedroom.

The maid searched the room and noticed that a suitcase was missing, and most of Nina’s daily clothes were gone. She guessed that Nina must have run away and contacted Percy.

Percy tasked his subordinates to search the hotels and homestays throughout A City and eventually found the hotel Nina was in.

When he received the information, he immediately rushed over to the hotel. Text content © .

“Nina and I have our rights. What can you do to us? Also, Nina didn’t sign any contract with you, so what right do you have to take her away? Oh, right, I remember that you have a fiancée, right? Don’t think that you can take advantage of Nina. She’s not that kind of person. Be a gentleman and leave.” Luca did not feel threatened by Percy’s presence. She only hoped that Nina would not come out of the bathroom before she drove that man away.

She did not understand why Percy would not let go of Nina when he was going to marry another woman. Did he not know that Nina was not going to be forever young?

“I’d rather not get violent on you,” Percy slowly clenched his hands in fists. He would have already thrown a punch if not that the woman might be Nina’s friend.

Luca raised her eyebrows. Was he planning to fight her?

If it were three years ago, Bianca would not have been able to beat anyone in a fight. Things were different now, and she was no longer a pushover. Not many people on the Island of Despair could beat her in a fight, and she thought that she was evenly matched with Percy.

“Are you sure you want to fight? If you manage to defeat me, I’ll let you do whatever you want,” Luca said.

She had just finished speaking when Nina stepped out of the bathroom.

Nina had already heard Percy’s voice. She did not plan to step out of the bathroom until she heard that Luca was going to fight Percy.

“Stop it, Percy Mallory,” Nina said.

Percy turned his head to look at her. “Come home with me.”

“Now that I’ve left, I’m never going back,” Nina said while standing in front of Luca. She knew that Percy would not hesitate to beat up a woman if she offended him.

However, she was sure that Percy would never hit her.

He did not become violent the night before, even though he was furious. That was why Nina thought that she could protect Luca.

“You don’t have to protect me, Luca. He’s not going to take me away,” she said.

Percy became even angrier when he heard that Nina did not want to go back. He wanted to reach out and grab Nina, but Luca blocked his advance.

“If Nina doesn’t want to go with you, don’t even think of taking her away,” Luca said insistently.

Percy gazed at Luca gloomily, thinking that the woman was being a pest.

Nina was worried for Luca, knowing that Percy had a vengeful character. If Luca offended him now, he would eventually get back at her.

Nina did not want to trouble other people.

“I can talk to him, Luca,” Nina said.

Luca looked behind her in disbelief. “You’ve already said what you wanted to say, Nina.”

“I’ve already said it, but I think that he doesn’t get it yet. I’d like to repeat myself,” Nina said and took a deep breath. She was trying to control her emotions.

Luca wanted to say something, but she heard Luke’s voice. “Don’t meddle in their personal affairs.”

Luca looked down the corridor when she heard the low and resonant voice. Indeed, it was Luke.

Luke was also looking at her. “Come out here. I want to talk to you.”

Luca looked at him, then at Nina behind her, then at Percy. If Nina wanted to try to talk to him, she had no right to stop her. She pulled her hands away and warned Percy, “I’ll be right outside. Don’t even think of laying a finger on Nina. I’ll call the police.”

“The police can’t touch me,” Percy said viciously. He walked into the room and closed the door.
