Chapter 1555:

Right now, with Carol refusing to let up, he finally understood what it meant to have no way out.

He found himself frozen under her intense stare, feeling as though every secret he'd tried to hide was suddenly

exposed.

“I'm not scared, alright?” Any hint of defiance he’d had was gone, replaced by an uneasy flicker in his eyes. He

looked away and asked, “What's there to be afraid of anyway?”

A small laugh slipped from Carol. “Is that so? Because I'm not going anywhere.”

Frustration crept onto Nikolas’ face, and he moved forward, trying to bridge the gap between them.

Carol lowered her head, her eyes locked on him as he tried to close the distance. Yet before anything else could

happen, Nikolas pressed his lips into a thin line and backed away, suddenly hesitant.

That only made Carol's lips curl into a sly grin as she folded her arms, looking every bit like she was enjoying the

standoff.

“You're walking out of here, whether you like it or not,” Nikolas said.

Carol arched a brow, her eyes gleaming with challenge. “Really? You're going to force me? Tell me, Nikolas,

would you risk everything just to keepsafe? Or do you honestly believe my life matters more to you than

your own?”

By now, Carol had pushed him right to his breaking point. A straightforward answer was all she'd hoped for.

Instead, what cnext wasn’t even close to what she wanted to hear. “I'll be fine. Trust me, | know exactly

what I'm doing,” Nikolas insisted, already beginning to pull back.

Carol watched him for a moment, then whispered, “Coward.”

Raising her voice, she turned to the group waiting upstairs. “You three, that’s enough waiting. Cdown here.”

A light laugh slipped from Daniela as she made her way down, Cedric and Damon following after her.

Though Daniela didn’t say a word to Nikolas, the look she gave him said plenty. When it cto affairs of the

heart, she always kept her distance.

But that didn’t stop Nikolas’ cheeks from turning pink.

Sidling up beside Carol, Daniela leaned in and whispered, “Don’t tease him too hard. He's sensitive. If he bolts,

you'll regret it.”

Carol kept her mouth shut, her lips pressed into a line. She never liked prolonging situations like this. While there

was plenty she wanted to clear up with Nikolas, now wasn’t the moment for it.

Watching Carol finally let the matter drop, Nikolas breathed out in obvious relief.

Catching that, Daniela just shook her head in amusement.

“Let's get to what really matters,” Nikolas began, quickly launching into his plan. Once he finished explaining, he

shot a look at the clock. “We're almost out of time. Bags are ready, so you all need to get going.”

Daniela offered a crooked smile. “You honestly think the guards sent by your uncle scare me?”

Nikolas couldn't believe how unfazed Daniela seemed. He'd figured she'd bolt the moment she heard the details.

But that calm, steady look never left her face.

“If you're smart, you'll take your dad’s advice and leave with Damon,” Daniela added, her voice cool and

measured. “The rest of us can manage what comes next.”
