\'\'I brought you flowers; \'\'

Nicklaus said, staring at the beautiful flowers in his hand before he placed them on the table.

Taking her hand on the bed, he kissed it; it was a little cold so he blew warm air on it.

His eyes rested on her face and he smiled;

\'\'Do you know? I made sure Liam isn\'t going to come back to haunt us anymore, he hired about 50 men but we took them all out. He isn\'t going to come back anymore, we\'re safe now… \'\'

Nicklaus stopped as he brought Tiana\'s fingers to his lips again and he kissed them;

\'\'So please wake up okay? I miss you. I miss you badly.\'\'

He breathed out, even though he had taken out Liam he was not happy because she was still not awake, he had to be patient, but he really wanted to drag out all the doctors in that hospital and give them anything they wanted underneath the sun if they could make her wake up.

He didn\'t know how much longer it was going to take, but he was going to be by her side when she wakes up.

…

Like an old fairy tale, the wicked are never at peace…

Gwen paced around in her room, sweat pouring from her face, in less than five minutes she had thought of a thousand ways she would die.

Should she kill herself before Nicklaus comes to find her? 

No, no, no, what if Liam didn\'t rat her out to him, she would have just died for nothing. No, she would wait to see if he was going to come for her or send someone to come after her.

She had intentionally left Tiana in the ward with the other maids and told them that if Nicklaus came by, they should call her immediately, but she was surprised when Nicklaus came back and didn\'t ask for her, she waited but no one asked after her. After some hours, he drove out in his car,

Gwen was stunned, did Liam not tell on her? Did he not? She had screamed at him on the phone so there was no reason to not tell Nicklaus that she was the one who had leaked Tiana\'s whereabouts to him. A few minutes after he had left, Gwen stepped out of her room; she walked carefully like a child who had just been caught stealing candies.

Breathing in, she put a smile on and asked a guard what happened; she was surprised when he told her that everything was fine; he didn\'t tell her if Liam was killed or not, but the smile on his face was clear enough to show that Liam didn\'t tell on her.

Gwen stood silent for a few seconds before walking away. Going back to her room, she turned on the television;

News of Liam\'s mansion burnt, and bodies found inside played on the screen. Gwen blinked; that meant that Nicklaus indeed killed him, but why didn\'t he give her away.

Gwen thought, and then she smiled when she realized what he did; since he couldn\'t get back at him, telling on her was a little too easy; he wanted to leave him with the thought that the person who gave his wife away was alive, so he would forever live on his toes.

A smile crept up on Gwen\'s face as she instantly became relaxed. Standing up, she went into the bathroom to take a shower; she had a sad and lonely man to console after all. 

…

Two weeks later...

Still waiting for Tiana to wake up, Leo and Claire come to visit, the wedding was in a few days\' time and Claire was especially sad that Tiana wouldn\'t be able to attend.

Four weeks...

Elizabeth and Grandma were sitting around the bed with Gwen cleaning Tiana\'s face with a towel, everyone looked moody, Nicklaus was standing by the window staring outside like a lost soul, he had lost a considerable amount of weight, and he looked like a shadow of himself.

Everything was fine, why was she not waking?

Only one person in the room was especially happy that she was not waking, she silently prayed she would become a vegetable, maybe that would force Nicklaus to move on with his life. 

She had stayed by his side all these while, making sure to prepare his meal herself and bring him a change of clothes. Although he didn\'t talk much, any small talk he had was with her, surely if he was planning to move on, she was the next available person he was going to move on with. Besides she looked almost like her sister, it wasn\'t going to be hard for him to fall in love.

10 weeks.

Gwen has risen to fame. Tiana\'s accident brought her so much attention that before long she was on the big screens; she didn\'t mind the fake tears she had to put up for the media, as long as she was getting all the attention. She had signed with so many brands, and although she pretended that she didn\'t notice, she was silently happy about those pairing her with Nicklaus, since Tiana had refused to wake.  She was too busy now, too busy to sit by Tiana\'s bedside and looking after her, these days she visited once a week, and spent less than ten minutes with her before leaving.

Whenever she stopped by, she thought of just taking out the oxygen mask and let her die peacefully, but she couldn\'t. A CCTV camera was above her head and she was super famous now, she couldn\'t afford to risk it.

She crossed her arms as she watched Tiana lying sickly on the bed.

Maybe being a villain wasn\'t that bad after all, she had gotten everything she ever wanted, she was more famous than Tiana now, with over twice Tiana\'s followers on IG, she had fame, everything.

But there was just one thing she hadn\'t gotten.

Just as she thought about it, the door opened and Nicklaus walked in, a faint smile washed his lips when he saw her.

\'\'You came; \'\'

Gwen smiled sweetly;

\'\'yeah, how are you? \'\'  She had moved out of the house after garnering so much attention, although she didn\'t want to, her agency didn\'t want any rumors about her and Nicklaus, so it was best she moved.

\'\'I\'m great. \'\'

Gwen nodded as she watched Nicklaus take off his coat, revealing his toned muscles underneath the tight black shirt.
