My hands started to tremble processing that discovery
- Lucy, are you okay? - Nick feigned innocence approaching me, but nothing came out of my mouth due the shock- Wait here, I'll take care of her - he told everyone to then speak softly to me - Don't make a show - he whispered in my ear.
I watched him with wide open eyes and I gave a look to all, the Maleks watched me worried and certainly I realized that I did not want to give a show in front of them
- I must go to the bathroom - I apologize to start walking inside
- I will accompany you - listen to Nick's voice
Shit
I ran inside to the bathroom where I emptied all my stomach contents in the toilet, I walked to the sink feeling my head spinning and I heard the door open, Nick appeared walking inside
- Why?! - were the first words that came from my lips - Rami forgave you after what you did to us! - I felt the anger boil inside me - Why?! If you have witnessed everything that Rami and I have had to go through, from Singer, from the media, from the fans. Why?! - I ended up with my eyes filling with frustrated tears
- You haven't thought dear Lucy ... - he began stroking his chin - That all these bad things started to happen since you appeared in the life of Rami? It's you, you're toxic
- I think that's something that Rami himself should consider, not you! - I tried to hide how his words affected me
- That's where you're wrong - he stood at a safe distance - First, Rami is completely blinded. I don't know what you've done to him but he does not see things clearly. And second, Rami has been my investment for years and I will not allow a little blonde rat to put at risk everything that I have worked for, I will not let the Oscar go out of my hands for you and your problems
- Are you listening yourself?! - his thinking was so bad on so many levels - Rami is not a company, a business from which you can expect profits!
- For me it is - he said in a soft voice which was more threatening. This man was dangerous, even more dangerous than Singer. At least Singer didn't pretend to be something he was not.
- Let's see what Rami thinks about it - I said raising my chin and walking outside with a proud gesture.
- Don't you dare! - He followed me across the hall grabbing my arm
- Let me go! - I shouted instinctively, forcefully removing his contact from my skin. After everything that had happened I had learned to defend myself
- Lucy? - Rami walked down the hall watching me and Nick. My breathing was fast and I felt my cheeks red with fury
- Rami - I extended my phone without saying anything.
Rami watched it and without hesitation he dialed the number that the app had decrypted
- She tries to accuse me of something - Nick jumped when his infamous phone rang again
- How cheeky are you?! - I gave him a hateful look
- Nick? - Rami's voice sounded confused
- Don't believe her - Nick pressed - I've been by your side for many years and you will trust more in this stranger than me?
- You're nothing more than a piece of meat with a price tag for him - my voice was raw when I faced Rami
- Shut up, rat! - Nick shouted at me, taking a threatening step towards me
- Hey, hey - Rami interposed between Nick and me - What the fuck is going on? It's been you been all this time? Blackmailing Lucy? the person harassing her? Hacking Emma and Ben?! - Rami's voice sounded hurt
