Capítulo 129: It wasn't her

''You heard me right, I met Tiana just before I came here, Nicklaus, and I told her exactly the same thing I told you now; and without the slightest hesitation, she took the money and house I offered. She even wishes you a grand wedding, what an irony.''

Grandpa completed with a slight chuckle;

For the first time in his life; Nicklaus felt like a battered dog in the rain; he was utterly shocked; there was no way…

''it's not possible, I don't… I don't believe you…''

His face was as pale as dew, his eyes looking like he had seen a ghost;

Grandpa shook his head;

''Nicklaus, this is not what I've come here to talk about; you can call her and confirm for yourself, so what do you say, do you still want to wager your inheritance for a woman who didn't even think twice to give you up? Or are you going ahead with the marriage? ''

 The world around Nicklaus stood still, and he felt it hard to breathe.

It's not possible… no… it can't be…
