Vicki possessed a talent for masquerading and hoodwinking the public with her facade of innocence. Yet beneath, she harbored a heart of unmitigated cruelty. None rivaled her in cruelty. Jarrod would be better served to marry anyone but Vicki.
Nicoles apprehension deepened, prompting her resolve to enter Jarrods villa to check on Austin stronger. Given the impossibility of seeking Jarrods approval of her entry, she resolved to explore alternative ways.
Addressing Alec, Nicole voiced her concern, Alec, theres cause for concern regarding Miss Hampton. I implore you to dedicate more attention to Austin. After all, he is also Jarrods child.
This served as a reminder for Alec, who possessed intelligence and wouldnt fall prey to deception easily. While Vicki excelled in the art of deception, her facade was destined to crumble eventually.
Following the phone calls conclusion, Nicole pondered alternative approaches, yet the mansions formidable security posed insurmountable obstacles. Scaling the walls or navigating the backyard proved futile endeavors.

Hence, Nicole resorted to a rudimentary and inelegant tactic: vocalization. Positioned by the mansions gate, she vocalized her call for the nanny, confident that the household staff would recognize her voice. Her sole aim was to assert her presence and intent.
Deliberately refraining from uttering Austins name, Nicole feared unsettling him.
Given Austins unique nature, Nicole handled every aspect concerning him with utmost caution.
Nicole shouted, Kamilah, Kamilah, are you there?
After several repetitions, security personnel intervened, urging her to desist. Madam, shouting in this residential vicinity is prohibited. Should you persist, I shall be obliged to request your departure.
The security guards demeanor shifted from courteous to apprehensive, not out of concern for nuisance but rather out of fear of offending.
To them, Nicoles conduct suggested she lacked familiarity with Jarrod. Where she connected, shed refrain from such clamor, and Jarrod would have likely provided instructions for her entry.

Firmly, the guard replied, Madam, I cannot assist in such matters. Entering the mansion to locate someone is beyond our purview. Your actions are untenable. Should you persist in causing a disturbance, immediate eviction will be necessary.
Nicole, retrieving her phone, countered, Kamilah and I have lost contact, fueling my concern. Failure to reconnect today will compel police involvement. Do you wish to avoid such consequences?

Nicole nodded gravely. You have my word. I wont trouble you further. My concern lies solely with Kamilahs well-being, as Ive been unable to reach her.
Ensuring Kamilahs safety was paramount to safeguarding Austin. With Kamilahs presence, Nicole had faith in Austins protection. Yet now
Considering Austins circumstances, it seemed likely Kamilah was either under constraint or unable to attend to Austins needs conveniently.
Nicoles mind raced with conjecture, heightening her anxiety.
Shortly after, the guard emerged from within, conveying, Madam, the butler relayed that Kamilah is indisposed and under care. Regrettably, she cannot contact you presently. You should return and await her communication once she recuperates.
Nicoles apprehension deepened. This sudden claim of illness to the point of lacking the strength to make a call? Yet, she had just recently communicated with Kamilah through texts. This discrepancy strongly suggested the sender of the texts was an imposter.
Nicole shook her head firmly and implored, Sir, kindly allow me entry to see Kamilah. I cannot rest until Ive laid eyes on her
