Chapter 351 - Angel From The Heaven Above

She had been biding her time, finding the perfect moment. Finally, she was able to find an opportunity to escape. She knew she had to seize the chance.

After last night\'s incident with Nick, she feared she could not hold off Nick from discovering she did not possess the evidence anymore. She still could recall their conversation last night.

"Our plans are almost at play. All I need now is what you promise me. In return, I will give you the revenge that we have agreed upon." Nick whispered to her ears as they lay naked on his bed.

But how could she give him what she did not possess anymore? However, even if she still had it, she probably would not give it to him. She did not want to proceed with her revenge plot, and she did not trust Nick with all those information.

"Of course, as a promise, I will deliver." She lied to her teeth as she diverted his attention away from the topic by doing what she knew best.

It was the only way she could silence him. Once he was too exhausted and satisfied, he would eventually go to sleep, and she would be free from his scrutiny.

But she could sense that he was becoming impatient. She could not keep dodging his questions. Nick would soon want to get his hands on the files. She had to act fast before he figured what she had done.

A knock on the door snapped her out of her reverie. She quickly slid out of bed and moved to the door. "This came for you, Miss." One of Nick\'s security stood outside with a package for her.

She thanked the man guarding her, making sure that she had gained his trust. It would be easier for her to execute her plan if the security was clueless about it.

She took the box into the room and placed it on the bed, knowing what she would find inside. When she opened the box, she found a beautiful red dress and matching shoes.

She read the card with an attached note on it. It came from no one else but the man that held her captive. He had invited her this morning before he left to attend a dinner date tonight.

Wear it later. I will pick you up at six. Nick.

"I will." She mumbled to herself as she picked up the dress and placed it in front of her as she gazed at her reflection in the mirror.

In the past, she had enjoyed the gifts she had received from Nick. Today, she could only stare at herself, thinking that this dress was her ticket out of this place.

She would make sure to look extra stunning tonight, alluring Nick and whoever he was entertaining. Then, she would make her disappearing act.

"You can\'t fail." She told the woman standing in front of her. She could see the determination in her eyes. She just hoped that everything would work out just the way she had planned it in her mind.

She believed that once Nick learned of her betrayal, her life would be in grave danger. Nick was not a person who would take what she had done lightly. He would surely exact his revenge.

She had to find a way out of his place and his life for good as soon as possible. She preferred now. She could only think of one person who could help her, Alexander Princeton.

On the other side of the city, his mind kept returning to the woman he left in his bed. He sat in his office, staring at the window outside. He was working on a project, but he could not keep his concentration on his task.

"Sir, these files just came in. It requires your immediate approval." His assistant placed the files on the table, arranging them according to his preference.

His work was piling up, and his mind still kept flying elsewhere. He felt like something was wrong. He could sense that Cassie was hiding something from him.

"Thanks, Michael." He told his assistant, who interrupted his thought when he walked into his room.

"Do I have confirmation on my meeting tonight?" Nick asked his loyal assistant. He believed that money controls everything. As long as he was paying him well, he would do everything he commanded.

"Yes, Sir Nick. I have sent the dress to your house too." He informed him, knowing that he had to do his job well.

"If Edward arrives, send him first to my private room. I will attend to him in a little while." He instructed as he scanned the new files on his table.

He finally dismissed his assistant, leaving him alone again. He returned his attention to his work, trying his best to finish it. Somehow, he finally was able to set aside thoughts of her.

He barely accomplished much when Michael informed him that Edward had arrived. The prince was already waiting for him in the other room for their meeting.

"Tell him to give me a few minutes." The prince was early from their appointed time. He would make him sit for a while, making him remember his place in this arrangement.

He could not barge in his office as if he owned the place and demand for his time. He might be significant in executing his plans, but he would not hesitate to throw him the trash if he kept meddling where he did not belong.

"Yes, Sir," Michael excused himself and returned to his place outside his door.

He was again on his own, closing the file he had been working on before he was interrupted. He maliciously smiled as he thought of the man waiting for him in the other room.

He turned around on his chair, once again gazing at the view outside his office. Not at all in a hurry to entertain his guest. Even if he knew he would be fuming any minute now.

After a few more minutes, like clockwork. Nick heard the door of his office open with a slightly forceful bang. Edward must have been raging from his stunt. But he was already prepared for his wrath.

"Where is Cassie?" Someone from the door shouted.

"Sir, sorry, but I could not stop her." Michael apologetically muttered as he followed her into the room.

He abruptly turned his chair around as he recognized that melodic voice. His visitor was not what he expected. He thought that it was Edward, who would be barging on his space, but it was someone else.

He could not believe his eyes. He stared at the woman who stood in front of his desk with fire in her eyes. She looked calm, but he could sense her anger just underneath the surface.

"It is nice to see you too." That was his response to her question. "I am glad that you remember to visit me."

He leaned on his chair and entwined his fingers in front of him as he smiled at her presence. He could not stop staring at her beautiful face, once again regretting letting her go in the first place.

She was indeed an angel from the heaven above.
