326 What did he do to her?

Dead silence enveloped the line as neither of the three talked. Ivan blinked his eyes in disbelief. He wondered if he heard Nikolai's news right. Did he say that Inigo's grave was left empty? Wait, what? What's going on?

His gaze slowly traveled from Zoey's solemn side profile as she was deep in her thoughts. So that ridiculous wild guess was right, after all? How was that possible?

"We buried an empty coffin, huh…" After a long silence, Nikolai scoffed faintly as his tongue touched his inner cheek. "An empty f*cking coffin…" He muttered slowly, stressing every word Ivan and Zoey sensed the dreary mood from miles away by the tone of his voice.

"That motherf*cker cheated death…" Nikolai chuckled, yet his tone could make someone shudder as it was laced with killing intent. "Zia, how did you know?" He suddenly asked, diverting the subject before he lost his mind thinking how he was deceived for five years thinking Inigo was dead.
