The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy

Dora told Wyatt everything that had happened between her and Nicole that day.

By the end of it, Wyatt had gone pale. “And then? What happened next?”

Dora kept her smile complacent.

The voice that came from her was mocking. “You know how the saying goes, Wyatt. The devil looks after his own. Those people won’t die so easily. When Nicole’s mother was sent to the hospital, even the doctor couldn’t believe their eyes. He said that her mother should have long been dead from heart disease. How she survived that long was beyond him.”

Wyatt hesitantly prodded, “So… Nicole made a deal with you for her mother?”

Dora snorted and looked at him with a self-satisfied smile.

“Oh, she made things difficult, that’s for sure. She fought me off, declaring her undying love for you. But that was in the beginning. After all, her mother lay dying before her very eyes, and there was nothing she could do. She knew I was the only person who could save the poor woman. In the end, she changed her mind. Even she would beg for her parent’s life.”

“So you promised to save her mother in exchange for leaving me.”

It had no longer come out as a question. As the story went on, it became clearer to Wyatt how it would end.
