Lucinda whirled around and frowned at him in confusion.
She had known him for a long time, but this was the first time she had ever heard Nathaniel apologize.
He hadn’t apologized when he discovered that Eleanor had framed her.
Nor had he apologized when he learned that he had owed her far too much during the three years they had been married.
Even just a while ago, when he had actually cut her with a knife, all he had said was that he regretted the incident. He had never apologized for it.
Now, he apologized?
“I’m afraid your apology comes a little too late. I refuse to accept it. Get out!” Lucinda spat the words at his face and shook off his hand.
Nathaniel was currently weak. Lucinda didn’t have to use much force to knock him to the floor.
She strode to the door without giving him another glance, and left the villa.
Nathaniel didn’t chase after her. He just sat on the floor in silence, occupied with his own thoughts.
Only when he heard a car engine start did he pick himself up and walk to the window.
Her bodyguards had got into a second car to go with Lucinda.
A couple of minutes later, the two vehicles sped out into the night.
The villa was eerily quiet now that Lucinda was gone.
Nathaniel set aside his jealousy and looked around Lucinda’s room.
Perhaps there was some clue in her room, something that would verify her true identity, once and for all. She had taken all her men with her.

He had no way of knowing when she would return, but he might as well grab this rare opportunity to search the premises.
And yet, Nathaniel didn’t move. He just stood there and looked out the window for a while more, a complicated mix of emotions crossing his eyes.
At that same time, the two cars stopped not far away from Bay Villa.
Lucinda sat in the car and waited.
It was so quiet that she could hear her own heartbeat.
She stared straight ahead, her face blank. She was deep in her own thoughts.
Half an hour ticked by.
She took out her phone and called the bodyguards she had left in the villa, who she had specifically instructed to remain hidden.
