Very slowly, Nicholas released Alesya's grip. Fix the blanket, before leaving. He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, it was past midnight. No wonder Nicholas' waist felt stiff and numb.

“Diki… who is he?” Nicholas muttered. Her brain was thinking, guessing who Alesya said Diki was.

"Later." Nicholas shook his head. Wanting to focus on Diki in the middle of the night is certainly useless. It's better to finish it tomorrow morning.

Rather than taking care of Diki, whose name could be shared by many people, Nicholas would be better off checking the kitchen. Looking for food ingredients to process. I'm afraid that soon Alesya will wake up and be hungry.

Alesya blinked. His eyes still sting, his body hurts when he moves. However, he still tried to sit up. Remembering what happened to him, he arrived at the guest room in his own house.

Alesya sighed. Rubbing his face roughly, he imagined Diki's passionate gaze who wanted to take his purity. He couldn't believe that the man could do such a terrible thing to him.

"Nicholas..." Alesya muttered softly as soon as she saw the bedroom door open. Nicholas came with a tray. The man smiled so sweetly. As usual, Alesya's smile always made her addicted to it.

“In the kitchen there are several cans of sardines. Eggs and vegetables. The fish and chickens did not survive because the lights were not turned on. It's okay, okay, you eat with this first. Later when it's morning..."

Before Nicholas had time to put the tray on the nightstand, Alesya was already hugging him. Burying her face in Nicholas' stomach. Alesya cried silently, thanking Nicholas for always being her savior and home.

“I'll put this down for a moment. It'll spill."

Alesya nodded. Slowly let go of Nicholas and pulled away. He sat quietly waiting as Nicholas wanted.

"Come here." Nicholas took Alesya into his arms. "Sorry, I was emotional yesterday."

“No, I was wrong. I'm the one who made you angry, Nik.” Alesya raised her head.

“I'm the impatient one.” Nicholas cupped Alesya's cheeks. "I should have been more patient. I should have known this wasn't easy for you."

Unable to reply. Alesya was only able to pull back the corners of her lips. Without being able to stop the tears from falling. Should Alesya be grateful now? Can be close to Nicholas. You could feel the man's great attention.

A hope is now starting to emerge in Alesya's heart. He was sure there was a speck of happiness for him ahead.

I don't know who started it, now their lips are connected to each other. Sniffing and wrapping around each other. Without realizing it, Nicholas gently squeezed Alesya's hair, pressing it so that the knot and kiss on Alesya's lips deepened. Getting hotter and more passionate.

"Nik..." Alesya's breath came quickly. When her and Nicholas's lips were separated. Now the man lowered his head slightly so he could enjoy her smooth neck. Wiping it with his wet lips. A little kiss, soared Alesya to the highest point.

So deep and passionate. Melts away all the scary images when you are with Diki. Nicholas eliminated everything.

Alesya squeezed Nicholas' hair tightly. Guiding him to lower himself further so that Nicholas can pamper his two dense moci. The tip had stiffened. Craving Nicholas' warm, wet mouth. Alesya has surrendered, willing to give up everything. All on Nicholas. The only figure he can trust.

Alesya threw her whole life into Nicholas. It's up to the man where he wants to take him. Arranging what kind, Alesya didn't hesitate at all. Because right now Nicholas is all he has.

Instead of sipping his favorite moci, Nicholas went back upstairs. He kissed Alesya on the lips for a long time and rubbed the top of her head.

"Let's eat first." Messing Alesya's hair. Before taking off the jacket he was wearing and putting it on Alesya.

Alesya rubbed the back of her neck. She was embarrassed because she had longed for more of Nicholas. Forgetting the boundaries between herself and Nicholas.

"Here, I'll feed you." Nicholas sat beside Alesya, ready to feed his brother-in-law. Nicholas also forced a smile. In order to cover up his guilt, he almost slept with Alesya.

One, two, up to five bites. Alesya devoured it well. As if there wasn't a single problem in his life right now... All the fear and trauma had evaporated somewhere. Melting into one destroyed Nicholas' existence.

"Why?"

Nicholas' hand which wanted to feed Alesya was hanging in the air because Alesya was just silent, not having the slightest intention of opening her mouth.

“It's not fair. You have to eat too. I'm sure you haven't eaten yet, Nik.”

Nicholas nodded. "You're right, I haven't eaten yet. But I don't think I'll have any appetite if you haven't finished this.”

"I don't want to eat if you don't come eat with me."

"Okay. If that's what you want." Nicholas stopped feeding Alesya. He ate first, then fed Alesya. And so on until there is no food left.

After eating, Nicholas cleaned up their food. Clean it directly in the kitchen and rearrange it in its original place. Meanwhile, Alesya remained silent in her room, thinking about what really happened to her.

Alesya felt strange with herself. Insisting on wanting to sell herself in order to have a baby in her womb. However, he refused Diki's wishes. Wouldn't it be that if he hadn't fought yesterday everything would have been finished?

Alesya took a deep breath. It was Nicholas's turn that he always threatened to sell himself so Nicholas got angry and dropped him on the street. Alesya squeezed the blanket, feeling like she was looking for more attention from Nicholas.

Rejects and feels harassed when touched by other people, but with Nicholas? Not afraid at all. It's okay to sleep without clothes. Just a little touch, just be willing and surrender if Nicholas really wants his body.

Alesya was really confused with herself. When he is near other people he feels so holy, he doesn't want to be touched even just a little. Meanwhile, next to Nicholas...cheaper than a service provider woman.

"I now know what makes you willing to do anything to defend this house."

Alesya turned towards the bedroom door.

"There are a lot of memories here," Nicholas sat cross-legged in front of Alesya. "Your parents must have given you immense love, which is why you grew up to be such a loving person. Unlike me, who was always demanded and shaped into what they wanted. I was cast aside when I chose my own path."

Alesya raised an eyebrow.

"In the living room, I saw many photos of you with clothing designs in the background. And both of your parents with such genuine smiles. From there, it's evident that they supported whatever you wanted. Even though being a designer has no connection to the business your father runs."

Alesya pursed her lips, nodding in agreement with what Nicholas was saying.

"However, sadly, all those permissions and blessings brought disaster for me. I was so engrossed in the world of designing that I had no idea my father was drowning in debt. I really had no clue, until suddenly debt collectors showed up, demanding a substantial amount. Maybe it's because my father was good at hiding his problems, or something was wrong with his business. Or maybe I just didn't understand it all, to the point that I didn't realize there was debt that had consumed many of our family's assets."

"Didn't you ever ask about your father's business? Even a little?"

Alesya shook her head. "No. Because my father never seemed to be in trouble. He appeared fine, and he even continued to give. The last time, he injected funds into your father's business, I'm not sure how much exactly. What I do know is that your father used our house as collateral."

"When was that?" Nicholas inquired. The idea of their house being used as collateral for a loan bothered him. After all, the house they currently lived in was the only one they had, and it didn't stand on its own. He had been involved in its construction when their first restaurant became successful.

"Um... about a month ago. Your father came here. Unfortunately, I only came to bring them tea, nothing more. Before leaving the office, I overheard something about the house being used as collateral for a loan."
