A Month Later...
Nova hadn't seen Casper in what felt like forever, and it was driving her up the wall. She'd tried calling him countless times.
Either his phone was off, or no one would answer, and lately... it went straight to a disconnected number.
How could the CEO of Welton International have a disconnected number? He must have blocked her.
But why? Eliza was gone. Shouldn't he be more focused on her now? What was going on?
Nova couldn't make sense of it.
Then, a team of movers barged in.
She frowned at the intruders. "Who are you? How can you just waltz into my house?"
"The house has been sold. The owner asked us to help you move your stuff," one of the movers said, glancing at his clipboard and then back at Nova. "You're the tenant, Nova, right?"
Tenant? Since when?
"I own this place. Who told you to come?" Nova's face turned pale, raising her cane towards the movers. "You can't just enter someone's house like this. I could call the police."
The mover checked his clipboard again, "Ms. Nova, the deed is in Mr. Casper's name, not yours. Would you like to pack up yourself, or shall we help you?"
Was Casper trying to kick her out? Why?
No, he wasn’t kicking her out. He must’ve been planning to marry and move her into the Welton Estate. That had to be it.
An excited smile spread across Nova's face. She lifted her chin, directing the movers. "Go ahead and pack. My belongings are very valuable, so be careful."
"We have specialized packing materials, don't worry."
