100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Forty-Three...

~~*****~~

[ Back to the venue... ]

After fifteen minutes, Amara returned to the ballroom hall. The ball dance already started. The majority of the guests were enjoying the dance floor.

Amara searched for Nadia. A few seconds later, she spotted Nadia on the corner table, looking for someone.

'Hmm. I bet she is looking for her cheating fiancé.' Amara's lips curled up in a mocking smile.

She quickly dashed in her direction. Upon reaching Nadia's spot, Amara pulled her out of the venue.

"Amara, wait! What are you up to again? Where are you bringing me?" Nadia complained, removing Amara's hand that was holding her elbow.

"Come with me, Nadia. You have to see something. Your fiancé is cheating on you with Abigail Scarlett!" Amara declared to her with conviction.

However, Nadia only rolled her eyes skyward. She didn't want to believe her.

"Stop this already, Amara. Why are you tarnishing my fiancé's image by accusing him? Do you have any problem with him?"

Amara massaged her temples. She already expected this. Nadia wouldn't easily believe her words. Without further ado, Amara picked up her phone and showed Abigail's and Richard's photos.

"You are searching for Richard, am I right? However, you can't see any sign of him inside the venue. Now, take a look at this."

Nadia accepted Amara's phone and checked the photo. She almost dropped the phone when she saw the photo of Abigail and Richard entering the executive suite.

"I told you! They had an illicit relationship. They are cheating on you."

Nadia could no longer bear to listen to Amara. She stumbled on her feet. She felt like every ounce of her energy was drained. Her body was trembling from too much shock and anger.

Nadia stayed quiet, folding her fingers into fists. She had been ignoring those rumors for the past few months. She chose to believe and trust Richard. But now, she started to waver. She regretted turning a blind eye on this.

She didn't want to become a laughingstock. She would be subject to mockery and ridicule for letting herself be deceived by Richard and a mere actress.

"Richard only loves you because of our family's wealth, Nadia. Wake up, already!"

Nadia sniffled, trying her best to suppress her sobs. She didn't want to cry. She had to face this bravely.

"Where are they?" Nadia asked Amara through her gritted teeth.

"Executive Suite A909!" Amara promptly responded. "This way."

They were about to leave when Madam Priya and Madam Lu saw them. "Ladies, where are you going?"

Madam Lu called the attention of Nadia and Amara.

"Right timing, Mom! And Big Sis!" Amara faced the two middle-aged women.

"Big Sis, do you have an access card to all the executive rooms of this hotel, am I right?" Amara asked her older cousin Madam Priyanshi.

"Yes, I have. Why?" Madam Priyanshi gave the two women a questioning gaze. Noticing the pale expression of her daughter, Madam Priyanshi approached her and cupped her face.

"Are you okay, my dear? Do you feel sick? You don't look good." Madam Priyanshi sounded worried about her. She even checked her temperature, placing her hand on Nadia's forehead. But her temperature was normal.

"Big Sis, you have to accompany us. We are going to catch Nadia's cheating fiancé! Nadia, show them their picture." Amara urged Nadia to let the two women see the photo.

With a dejected look on her face, Nadia handed the phone over to her mother. Madam Priyanshi's eyes widened when she saw the picture. Meanwhile, Madam Lu also took a peek to see the photo.

"OMG! I knew it! The two are secret lovers!" Madam Lu said exasperatedly while gasping.

"What are we waiting for?! Let's go!" Madam Lu pulled Madam Priyanshi's hand while Amara dragged Nadia. The four women headed to the executive suite where Abigail, Alexander, and Richard were having a business meeting.

Madam Priyanshi called the hotel manager, commanding him to bring the access key card. Though this was against the privacy of the guest, she wanted to prioritize her daughter. This was a matter of her daughter's happiness. They had to find out the truth.

At first, she didn't want to judge Abigail Scarlett. She looked like a good person to her. But because of Amara's and Madam Lu's influence, she began to slowly believe that Richard might be cheating on her daughter. But to see is to believe! She still wanted to give them a benefit of the doubt.

It did not take long before they reached the executive suite. They only waited for the hotel manager to bring the access key.

"Madam, here is the access keycard." The manager immediately passed the keycard to Madam Priyanshi.

Madam Priyanshi gave the key to Nadia, herself. Nadia's hand was trembling and she was still hesitating to open the executive suite.

Because she was reluctant to open the door, Amara snatched the keycard from her hand and opened the door. She was the first one who entered the room. Nadia, Madam Priyanshi, and Madam Lu followed her behind.

The executive suite was so spacious. Amara headed to the bedroom first. She was confident that they would catch Abigail and Richard in the act.

But to her surprise, there was no sign of them inside the bedroom.

"Eh? Where are they?" Amara mumbled in puzzlement. Nadia moved forward, following Amara's line of sight. Her eyes scanned the room and her heart felt relieved when they didn't see Abigail and Richard.

It did not take long before they heard some voices talking on the other side of the room. The sound came from the balcony. Amara pulled Nadia as they walked toward the balcony.

Amara's eyes lit up upon seeing two figures sitting on the balcony. Abigail and Richard were talking there. They looked like a couple. Abigail was holding a bouquet of roses and they saw the jewelry box near her. They didn't see Alexander there.

Wanting to pick a fight, Amara charged forward, grabbing the glass of champagne in front of Abigail. Without a second thought, she splashed the wine on Abigail's face.

"You bitch!"

Richard: "..."

Everything happened so fast. But thanks to Phantomflake's instinct and reflex, Abigail was able to block the wine from hitting her face. She used the plate. But her dress was soaked with wine.

"Hey. What's happening here?" Richard stood up. He was shocked by the sudden intrusion of the Yan Family.

Nadia was the one who faced Richard.

Pak!

Without explaining a thing, Nadia slapped Richard in the face.

Abigail could only frown as she watched this scene. She could already figure out the reason Amara and Nadia went there. They misunderstood them.

Meanwhile, Richard couldn't understand why Nadia slapped him.

"Explain this!!! How could you betray Nadia?!" Madam Lu intervened as well, lashing out at Richard. Madam Priyanshi just held her daughter's shoulders trying to calm her down.

"Huh? Betraying who?!" Richard was still confused.

"C'mon, Rich! No need to feign innocence. You were both caught in the act! You were secretly dating here. Treating your other woman to a romantic dinner huh? Ahuh! You even gave her an expensive gift!" Amara picked up the jewelry box.

"Ouch!!!" Amara winced in pain when Abigail twisted her arm, getting the jewelry back from her.

"Don't touch that. That's mine." Abigail said coldly.
