Nicole forgot about the tears pooling in her eyes. Indeed, she was unwilling to admit her loss, yet sheforgot that this man might never like her again.

Forsaking every smidgen of her pride, she lifted her chin as tears streamed down her cheeks like adeluge. "Hayden Coleman, please save me! We're friends, aren't we?"

Hayden did not utter a word and shoved her away. After being pushed around by the men, the loosewig on her head fell to reveal her bald head. Hurriedly, she wore the wig to cover her bald head inwhich only a few inches of hair strands grew on the shaved part.

She looked at Olivia, who had a loving Eugene by her side on the couch. Nicole compared her patheticself with that wholesome scene, which eventually made her cry buckets.

Just how did I end up like this?

Still, Hayden's heart hurt since it was the woman he loved after all. So, he averted his gaze ontoEugene. "Eugene, what do you say?"

Eugene raised his gaze to take a glance at him. "Why? Are you going to plead in her stead?"

Hayden exclaimed, "She's my first love!"

Eugene chuckled. "Well, she's kinda meh, but I relented for your sake. You've seen the wounds on mymom, Alex, and Jewel. I don't think it's overboard to settle the score with her."

Hayden's brows knitted tightly. "What? You're trying to kill her!"

Eugene retorted, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I don't care if she dies."

Hayden knew that having Eugene let Nicole off the hook was out of the question, hence the pleading.He deemed it as the last thing he could do for her, considering their past relationship.

"Hand her over to the police. Let them decide."

"That's too much leeway for her." Eugene's voice became low.

"She's not the one who hurt Ellen!" Hayden reasoned.

Eugene remained cold. "That is if she didn't hand over the map. That way, the killer couldn't have comein. If Alex and Jewel didn't come in time, my mother could've died! Do you know how scary the situationwas? Don't you think that she's more evil than Lara? My mother is just a stranger to her and yet shedared to hurt someone she doesn't know!"

"I know, but it's all because she wants to have you. Please let her go," begged Hayden.

"She wants to have me? The more reason for me to kill her," replied Eugene frostily.

Hayden lowered his head in silence for a moment before saying, "Eugene, the three of us grew uptogether. Please consider our friendship and hand Nicole over to the police. There's no more chancebetween her and I, but I can't let you do this to her!"

The feeling he had for Nicole was real, but so was the disappointment. Even if he fell out of love, howcould he remain unfazed while watching Eugene hurting her? He could not possibly drain away all ofhis feelings within seconds.

Eugene kept quiet as he stared at the agonizing man with cold eyes. The intention behind callingHayden over was to reveal Nicole's true color. However, he left out that emotional attachments werewhat hurt the most.

"I told you that she isn't worth it." His voice eventually softened.

Hayden responded, "Just say that I owe you one. You can make use of it anytime you want."

Eugene sighed helplessly. "Fine. As long as she confesses how she contacted Lara, I'll let her go."

It was not until then did Hayden gaze at Nicole. "Spill it. There's no need for you to hide anymore,otherwise, there's no one else to save you."
