“Thank you… for yesterday,” she said quietly. “If you hadn’t

There was no need to finish the sentence. Anyone who had stood at that edge understood what it meant.

“How’s your baby?” Elena asked.

Nicole gave a faint, tired smile. “He came early. He’s in the NICU.”

“You’re over eight months,” Elena said gently. “With proper care, he’s going to be okay.”

“Thank you.”

Elena could tell she wasn’t in the best condition, so she hadn’t planned to bring up Landon just yet.

But Nicole spoke first.

“You’re here because of Landon, aren’t you?”

Elena paused.

Nicole smiled faintly. “I know who you are. People i

She didn’t finish the sentence, but the meaning was clear.

“No,” Nicole said firmly. “He didn’t force me.”

Elena let out a quiet breath.

At least that line hadn’t been crossed.

“I know what you’re thinking.” Nicole continued. “But you don’t need to get involved in this. It’s not worth it.”

She looked at Elena with quiet sincerity. “You saved me. That’s enough. Thank you. But you should leave this alone.”

Her tone was gentle, but there was no room for negotiation.

Elena hadn’t expected that.

Nicole had been ready to end her life, and yet she still refused to say anything about Landon.

“I don’t understand,” Elena said, trying one last time. “Why protect him? You know how many accusations are out there. You can’t be the only one he’s hurt.”

Her voice grew more serious.

“Yesterday it was you. Next time it could be someone else. Sooner than you think.”

Nicole’s lashes trembled again.

For a moment, Elena thought she might speak.

But she didn’t. The silence said everything.

Elena nodded slowly. “Alright.”

She turned and walked out with Hannah.

Once they stepped into the elevator, Hannah finally let her frustration out. “I don’t get it. She was ready to jump, but she still won’t say anything? If she just talks, we could expose him, we could shut him down completely.”

Elena didn’t answer right away.

Her mind was still on the woman in the room.

This isn’t just about Landon. Someone powerful is backing him.

“And Nicole knows it,” she added quietly.

Elena pressed the lobby button. “We don’t wait for her.”

Hannah was already moving. “Give me a minute.”

It didn’t take long. “He’s going to a celebration event tonight,” Hannah said, then hesitated.

“What?” Elena asked,

“There’s something else,” Hannah added. “The show he’s starting next month… it’s being funded by Apex Pictures.
