The Knight in Shinning Suit
(S2): Return of Nicole
Hendrik drags Theoden into his study when Kiana and her parents are gone.
“Daddy is curious, what have you told Kiana so she would marry you?”
“I didn't do anything, dad. Kiana herself wants to marry me.:
“Really?”tanyanya could not believe it.
“Iya.”
“Good dad you finally want to marry him.”
“Kiana is a good girl.”
“Of course. If she wasn't a good girl, I wouldn't force you to marry her. The girl comes from a good family. I have to prepare your wedding.”
“Let me and Kiana do it. I'd better take a break. I don't want dad's health to deteriorate by the time of my wedding.”
“Good. Dad will be back to room.”
Henry met Catherine in the room. The woman is fixing her makeup.
“So you've been from anywhere? The Waldgrave family came to talk about Theoden and Kiana.”'s marriage
“I have business outside. So Theoden will actually marry the girl?”
“True. What say?”
“Entahlah. I think Kiana is a good girl. Hopefully they can live happily.”
“How's your daughter, Andrea?”
“She is fine.”
“What are the other 2 months she can return from Japan?”
“What's the reason?”
“Theo will marry.”
“Secap it?”
Catherine stopped her activities.
“True.”
“ I'll tell her that her brother is getting married.”
Catherine turned to look at Hendrik who was lying on the bed. She did not like Theoden and Kiana's wedding plans. He wanted to take control of the entire estate of the MacAllister family, if Henry and Theoden died. Of course it was in his plan from the beginning. Slowly unbeknownst to anyone, Catherine had poisoned Hendrik little by little so that his death was not suspected.
Catherine's plan almost succeeded in seeing Hendrik's health continue to decline, but now he has other problems. Theoden is getting married. If he had children, the hope of mastering their treasures would be extremely difficult.
“What's up? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Nothing.”
Catherine got up from the dresser chair.
“You'll go again?”
“Iya. I'll see my friends again. I'll be home soon.”
The bedroom door closed and Hendrik let out a long breath. As long as Catherine became his new wife, the woman very rarely paid attention to her unlike Irene who had always been considerate of him.
Catherine was more concerned with herself than anyone else including her husband and children.
Henry often felt a deep longing for Irene, his late wife. During his 16 years of death, he would never be able to stop loving her. For Hendrik, Irene was his true love and soul mate. He wanted to marry Catherine, because Theoden needed a mother's affection, but it turned out that Catherine could not fulfill it.
In her heart was a sense of regret for marrying Catherine. Hendrik thought Catherine would be able to replace Irene as his wife and mother. He knew there would never be a woman like Irene. Hendrik coughed again and took a drink from his bedside nightstand. Somehow lately his health has always declined from day to day. Hendrik thought about seeing his doctor again.

Kiana stood in front of the window of her room. His eyes looked far ahead. He did not expect to soon marry the man he secretly loved. The decision has been made and he has to run it. Kiana hoped that her decision would not be wrong to accept this marriage.
Surely the people there will consider her a stupid woman and willingly accept this marriage. He could have rejected it outright.
Kiana wants to give herself a chance to get to know her future husband, even though she has known him for a long time in the last 5 years. Theoden may be the man he's been waiting for and who he's always been waiting for, but is that right?
Kiana sat on her bed with a long sigh, then closed her eyes and imagined Theoden's handsome face in her mind. The man was indeed very handsome with his own charisma. Her lips look so sexy. Kiana opened her eyes and shook her head. What are you thinking, Kiana? It's in the heart.
The sound of knocking on the door surprised him.
“Log in!”
Phillippa appeared from behind the door and Kiana smiled seeing her mother coming, then sat down beside Kiana.
“Do I bother you?”
“No. I'm glad Mom's here.”
Kiana hugged her mother. He loved the warmth of his mother's embrace. When he is married, he will miss his mother's embrace. Suddenly, her tears came.
“What's up?”ask Phillippa worriedly.
Kiana shook her head.”It's just that later I'll miss Mom a lot after I get married.”
Phillippa stroking her daughter's hair with affection.” I will miss you too. This mansion will feel very quiet without your presence.”
Kiana hugged her mother again.
“Should Mom and Dad have another child, so you guys don't get lonely when I'm not around.”
“You know, the mother's uterus must be removed, because of complications of pregnancy when the mother gave birth to your sister and your sister has been kidnapped by no one.”
“I know that. May Kiana's sister be found quickly. How did you adopt a child?”
“We haven't thought about it yet, but we'll talk about it with your father.”
“I love Mom.”
“Mother also loves Kiana.”
“ Are you happy with your dad?”
“Of course. I'm so happy to be married to your father.”
Kiana looked at her mother.”Kiana could see it. You two love each other.”

Phillippa had just come out of the kitchen, a waiter immediately approached her.
“Someone wants to meet you?”
“Who?”
“A woman. Her name is Nicole Bellamare.”
Phillippa's body froze and it was as if a large piece of rock had been smashed into his head.
“Ni..Nicole Bellamare.”.
“Iya mistress. That's what it says.”
“Where is he now?”
“There is outside.”
Phillippa doesn't think Nicole has been released from prison and she's so scared that Nicole will hurt her again like she did. Nicole already made him almost lose his life. He doesn't know what to do now.
“Mistress,”call her maid.
“Good.”
Phillippa waited for Nicole's arrival in the living room with a feeling of uneasiness and fear. He then called Joshua who was in his office.
“Nicole came home,” Phillippa said after her phone call was answered by Joshua.
“Whataa?”
“It looks like Nicole has been released from prison. You better go home.”
“Calm yourself! I'm sure Nicole won't do you any more evil.”
“Why can you be sure of that?”
Joshua remained silent.
“Trust me! I'm going home now and will explain everything to you.”
“Good.”
Phillippa hung up and waited for Nicole to arrive. Nicole came with the waiter. The two of them looked at each other with mixed feelings. The shadow of the past is again present. All of Nicole's cruelty can't be forgotten.
Nicole's appearance has changed a lot. White hair had adorned his head. His facial skin had been filled with wrinkles, his body was extremely thin, even Phillippa could see his bones protruding from his body. The way it goes is not as agile as before. Nicole tries to get close to Phillippa, but Phillippa steps back.
Nicole who understood Phillippa's fear towards him immediately stopped her steps, then a smile fell on her wrinkled face.
“Halo Phillippa! It's been a long time since we met.”
“What do you want from me? Do you want to disturb my life again and hurt me again?”
“I didn't come here for that.”
“Then what?”
“I came here to apologize to you for all my evil deeds in the past.”
Phillippa who heard it didn't believe it. Nicole Bellamare apologized to him.
“I know for sure you have a hard time believing it. All this time I've done evil to you and now I'm so sorry.”
Nicole sat on the couch without being told to.
“Life in prison has changed me a lot. I'm not the Nicole I used to be. Now I'm the new Nicole. “
“When did you get out of jail?”
“Sunday ago.”
“I can't believe after 20 years we will meet again here.”
“You don't have to be afraid of me anymore. I won't hurt you.”
Nicole looked at Phillippa with her old eyes. His gaze was so sad after all these years he missed his daughter. Now Phillippa was in front of him, but he still could not reach him. There was a gaping gap between them. If only time could be played back, he would never have hurt Phillippa.
“I'm sorry. I know this won't be easy for you, because I've hurt you too much.”
Phillippa looked at Nicole with a look of disbelief.
“I beg you to forgive me.”
Tear drops fell from both of Nicole's eyes.
“I can't forgive. I can't.”
“I understand, if you don't want to forgive me. My mistake for you is already too much.”
“ Now go! I don't want to see you again.”
Before Nicole left once again she looked at Phillippa hoping that Phillippa would forgive her, but the reality she had was only a look of hatred.
“Good. Goodbye!”
Nicole stood up and walked slowly away from the living room, then she suddenly stopped, looking back. Phillippa still looked at him with anger.
“There's one more thing I want to say to you.”
“I am your mother.”
Nicole's confession makes Phillippa almost have a heart attack.
“No. That's not possible. You must have lied,”shouted.
“I didn't lie. I am your birth mother. Genevieve is not your mother.”
“I don't know what your plan is anymore. You said this, because you want to hurt my feelings again, no.”
“I tell the truth.”
Philllippa shook his head. His face was soaked with tears. His legs became limp and his body almost collapsed to the floor if only his hands did not jump on the chair.
“But how could you be my mother.”
“I'll tell you everything. “
Nicole sat back on the couch. His eyes glared as he recalled his bitter past and could not possibly be replayed to fix everything.
Nicole then told me that her parents had exchanged her baby and the dead baby Genevive, because Phillippa was better off being a Genevive and Valentine's child. During this time Nicole thought the baby had died, then she exhaled a long breath after she finished telling her story.
Phillippa was silent trying to digest all the new information from Nicole. He still has a hard time believing, that Nicole has a mother all along. The fact that Nicole is her mother makes Phillippa's feelings even more painful.
“Do you have proof that you are my mother?”
“Genevive left a letter before he died. It's about who your parents really are.”
“Is Valentine Bellamare my father?”
“Valentine Bellmare is your father.”
Phillippa closed her eyes.
“Which Nicole said was right,” Joshua said, then stepped into the living room.
“Good afternoon Mr Waldgrave!”greet Nicole.
“Siang! I didn't know you were free. How are you?”
“Good.”
Joshua kissed Phillippa on the forehead and led her to sit on the sofa.
“Nicole is your mother. I've known this for 21 years,” Joshua told Phillippa.
“So you've known all this time?”
“True. Forgive me for keeping all this a secret to you. I found out after reading Genevive's letter. When I found out, I was very surprised and I meant to tell you, but Nicole forbade me.”
“I don't understand at all you can keep this a secret for 21 years to me.”
“I'm sorry! I was thinking better then that you didn't know about this, because you were sick. I don't want to add to the burden of your mind by knowing Nicole is your mother.”
“I don't know what else to say.”
“There's one more thing you don't know.”
“What else?”philippa asked annoyed.
Joshua glanced at Nicole and Nicole knew what Joshua was going to say to Phillippa.
“Nicolelah who has donated his spinal cord to you, so you can recover and get back to health.”
Joshua's confession made him come back shocked. [ ]
