Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 1239:

Listening closely, Nikolas watched their faces. Slowly, his stern expression loosened, the edge of suspicion fading. “Then we’re agreed. No one makes a move on their own. No private dealings with Daniela.”

Both Charles and Kohen nodded in unison. “Of course not. We’re family. And family decisions stay in the family.”

By the time night settled over the city, the hospital had grown still. Kohen lay in silence, his eyes drifting toward the glowing moon outside the window. After a while, he whispered, “Nikolas?” Only silence greeted him.

Moments passed, and with no reply, he tried again, voice even softer. “Charles?” Still nothing.

Roughly five minutes later, the soft rustle of a blanket broke the silence. A quiet figure slipped out of bed, slipped on his shoes, and eased the door open before vanishing into the hallway.

The door shut with a soft click, and Nikolas gradually let his eyes drift open. For a brief moment, a glimmer of icy, deliberate malice sparked in his gaze.

After dinner, Cedric was about to approach Daniela for a conversation when Carol abruptly entered the room. She gestured toward the entrance and said, “Daniela, you have a visitor.”

Daniela glanced up, curiosity flickering in her eyes.

With a mischievous grin, Carol teased, “Take a wild guess—who gave in first?”

Maintaining her composure, Daniela rose gracefully from her seat. “Kohen,” she replied steadily.

With a chuckle, Carol gave a dramatic thumbs-up. “Spot on! I was sure Charles would be the one to crack under the pressure. Isn’t Kohen supposed to be Nikolas’ staunchest ally?”

As Daniela approached the doorway, she spoke with chilling detachment. “The closer the bonds appear, the greater the danger lurking beneath them.” In a world where elite families vie for power and wealth, who can truly shun temptation?noveldrama

Cedric might be the only exception.

Just before crossing the threshold, Daniela turned her head slightly, stealing a final glance at Cedric, who stood frozen inside the villa. Their eyes met momentarily, and though Cedric’s gaze lingered, Daniela broke it off without hesitation, striding out decisively.

Carol, trailing slightly behind, looked back several times. “Looks like Cedric’s on the verge of tears. Isn’t this a bit too cruel?”

Daniela’s lips tightened, and she kept walking, her silence heavy with unspoken thoughts.

Yet deep down, she understood the gravity of her decision. If she wavered now, Cedric might join the McCoy family—a choice that should come from him alone, not be swayed by her actions.

The weight of such love was more than she was prepared to shoulder at the moment.

Daniela remained quiet, striding forward with such determination that Carol couldn’t help but shiver slightly.

Outside, Kohen lingered, bundled in a coat yet still in his striped hospital attire, evidently fresh from a medical visit.

“Daniela!”
