Chapter 9 - Nico Rejects Camille’s Insincere Public Apology
Nico rolled smoothly into the hallway, his expression a mask of cold indifference as he glanced between Marcus and Adeline.
“Is there a problem in my hallway, Marcus?” Nico asked, his voice carrying the dangerous weight of a mob boss.
“No problem at all, boss... just discussing nurse Marsh’s schedule,” Marcus muttered, stepping back and walking away quickly.
Before Nico could speak, Camille glided down the staircase wearing a pristine white silk dress and a sickeningly sweet smile.
“Nico, darling, I came to apologize for my outburst last night... the stress of the wedding planning just got to me,” Camille cooed softly.

Nico looked up at her with dead, unfeeling eyes that made Camille’s rehearsed smile falter for a split second.
“Save the performance for the tabloids, Camille... you're not wearing white in seventeen days because there isn't going to be a wedding,” Nico stated flatly.
