‘I know you must be furious when you see my name in your email inbox, but I had no other way to contact you. I won’t explain everything in detail because it concerns my safety, but I want you to know that I didn’t mean to betray you; there’s a specific reason why I lied then. The purpose of this email is to warn you not to attend any events in New York because Alicia Fox will do anything to prevent you from meeting Mr. Specter again. Please prioritize your safety.‘”

Rebecca was stunned as she read the message from Lucy. She covered her mouth, and suddenly everything made sense. She should have known from the start that Lucy would never stab her in the back. She became curious about how much Lucy knew about Alicia’s deceit.

“Poor Lucy, she must be living in fear…”

Restless, Rebecca got out of bed and went to the kitchen to get a glass of wine to help calm her nerves. She leaned against the kitchen island, sipping her wine slowly, Despite Lucy’s warning not to set foot in New York, Rebecca’s desire for revenge only grew stronger. She clenched her free hand, eager to bring Alicia down. She had never hated anyone so much in her life, but Alicia was an exception.

After two glasses of wine, Rebecca felt better. She slept soundly, hoping that the day of her revenge would come soon.

Two weeks later,

“I’m done packing, how about you?” Nicholas asked while chopping broccoli on the cutting board. Rebecca frowned, “Are you going to New York too?”

Nicholas looked up, his face suddenly darkening. “Yeah, why? Are be able to meet Harvey freely?”

Rebecca glared, surprised. “What?” she almost angrily exploded, but Nicholas waved his hand dismissively. “It’s not that, okay? I have some business to take care of at the headquarters, besides, don’t you need a plus one for the Met Gala? Or do you want to go alone so the media will report it and the news will reach Harvey?” Nicholas said. casually.

“What’s wrong with you? If you’re so sick of Harvey, can you stop mentioning his name?” Rebecca replied, putting the carrot back in the fridge and leaving the kitchen, Josing her appetite.

Irritated, she went to her room and flopped onto her bed. She had run out of patience with Nicholas, who had constantly talked about Harvey since she decided to accept Arnault Saverio’s offer to attend the Met Gala in New York. Even though her main goal in New York was revenge on Alicia, getting back with Harvey was not part of her plan.

Suddenly, there was a knock on her bedroom door.

“Becky?”

Rebecca sighed deeply, then dragged herself to open the door, finding Nicholas looking at her intently.

“Can we talk?” Nicholas asked, stepping into the room before Rebecca could invite him in.

“About what? Harvey?” Rebecca asked, deliberately standing by the door, folding her arms across her chest.

Nicholas rubbed his face, and Rebecca noticed his trembling fingers as if he was suppressing some emotion. “Can you understand that I’m so afraid you’ll go back to Harvey and make the same mistake again?” he whispered, staring at Rebecca without blinking.

“I’m not going back to Harvey, but I think you need to understand something, Nic. I don’t think our relationship will work,” Rebecca finally managed to say.

Nicholas’s eyes flashed with anger.

“So because you’re going to New York, you’re ending our relationship? Or you’re dumping me because you can walk and care for yourself now?”

Rebecca felt emotionally drained, making her headache. “Nic, I think you forgot that from the start, our relationship was just-” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Give me one more chance!” Nicholas suddenly knelt on the floor in front of Rebecca, shocking her.

“Nic, don’t do this…”

ways might be wrong and make you “I’m too afraid of losing you, Becky. I know my uncomfortable, but please don’t give up on us. Let’s try again,” Nicholas said, grabbing Rebecca’s hanging hand and holding it gently.

“Nic, the problem is..”

“Please?”

Seeing Nicholas’s face, Rebecca remembered all the kind things he had done for her, and she felt reluctant to hurt him. She sighed deeply, “Alright, I’ll try one more time, but if it doesn’t work, please, being friends like before isn’t a bad idea,” she said. carefully.

“This time it will work, I promise!” Nicholas stood up and hugged Rebecca, who stood stiffly.

The next morning, Rebecca woke up with a heavy head after a restless night. She regretted her decision to give her relationship with Nicholas another chance, but she felt trapped by his past kindness.

“Morning!” Nicholas greeted as Rebecca emerged from her room. “I made you coffee and waffles. We have thirty more minutes.”

“Thanks,” Rebecca replied with a faint smile, then sat down next to Nicholas, who acted as if nothing had happened the previous night. Fortunately, Nicholas received a call from one of his associates at his law firm, sparing Rebecca from having to make conversation.

The flight from LA to New York felt longer than usual, with Rebecca’s mind racing with countless thoughts. She tried to distract herself by editing video content on her laptop and occasionally chatting with Nicholas about trivial matters.

“I already ordered a suit from Arnault Saverio. The event is at 5:30 PM the day after tomorrow, right?” Nicholas said suddenly.

Rebecca turned, surprised. She hadn’t even mentioned it yet, but Nicholas had already made the decision without consulting her. He raised an eyebrow, “Do you mind if I come with you? Don’t worry, I can keep the suit and wear it another time,” he said with a wry smile.

“No, I mean, you can come with me. Yeah, the event starts at 5:30 PM Rebecca replied, not wanting to argue and lose focus.

Nicholas smiled broadly and gently stroked Rebecca’s cheek.

Landing at JFK Airport, Rebecca put on her Prada sunglasses and walked confidently. She knew she wasn’t a celebrity, but she had a million followers, some of whom might

her,

“Excuse me, are you Becky Blush–Off?” one of them asked, examining Rebecca’s face closely.

Rebecca took off her sunglasses, smiled slightly, and nodded. The two girls cheered, “Can we take pictures with you?”

Soon after leaving the airport, Rebecca’s arrival, known online as Becky Blush–Off, went viral.

“Enjoying your fame?” Nicholas muttered, glancing at Rebecca, who was busy scrolling through her phone.

Rebecca nodded, “Yeah, this is what I want,” she replied, still hiding her true motive.

As she checked the viral posts about herself, she suddenly received an email from Lucy.

‘Ma’am! Didn’t I tell you not to come back to New York? You have no idea what you’re up against! Go back to LA before it’s too late! Alicia knows almost everything about you, I don’t know how but don’t trust anyone!‘
