Nicholas' pupils darkened, and his body trembled. He looked past the men around him and watched me from across the detention room.I saw his hand slowly clench into fists by his sides as if he had heard something unbelievable. He stared at me in a daze as if he didn't know me.I looked at him with a
I looked at Nicholas expressionlessly, waiting for him to continue signing. Claudia tugged on his sleeve, but he didn't react."He he." She chuckled unnaturally and said, "Nick, if you don't want to divorce Ariana, I'll be the first to agree." Her smile grew as she spoke, and she was even jumping wi
I cut again, and my fallen hair flew onto him like a broken shackle. No matter how many strands there were, they could no longer bind us together. Eventually, they fell uselessly to the ground.As my fingers ran through my hair to the ends, an emptiness echoed in my heart."It's fine," I thought to
"What?" His sudden question left me baffled, making me struggle even harder."I asked," he said, gently biting my earlobe, "have you ever taken our marriage seriously even though it's a marriage alliance?"I admitted that I was weak. Although we hadn't shared much of a married life, he knew my sensi
Claudia bit her red lips, her eyes wet and filled with gloom. I was shocked beyond words when I saw her standing behind Nicholas and me. I had no idea how long she had been there, watching.She might have been there for hours, witnessing everything Nicholas did to humiliate me. Her eyes were red, a
Nicholas' cold eyes were like a venomous snake's, silent and sinister, as they turned to look at Neal."Claudia is suspected of inciting crime and hiring someone to falsely accuse Ms. Jones. The evidence I have here is irrefutable. We need to arrest her for investigation. Please cooperate with us, M
Nicholas raised his arm and placed it on my shoulder, pulling me toward him as if declaring his authority over me. The more I struggled, the tighter he held me.Suddenly, a leg inserted itself between him and me, forcing him to let go.Neal quickly retracted his leg, and in that sudden outburst, his
The next day, I returned to Radiant City, hoping to see him one last time. To my surprise, I was turned away at the entrance.A small note was handed to me by a police officer. On it were Nicholas' strong, determined words."Wait for me to atone for my sins. Wait for me to come to you."Staring at t

I suddenly received a call from Douglas. He asked when I would need Tabitha's passport back, as it was still with him. I couldn't help but feel that once a person wakes up to the truth, everything starts to fall into place as it was meant to."Send it to Coral Villa," I said, then hung up and went t
In the following days, my schedule was always tightly arranged by Nicholas.He subtly hinted and asked whether I'd consider remarrying him, saying it might make the adoption process for Cory easier. However, I could handle the matter myself, even if it was more troublesome.Rather than discussing re
It wasn't until Leo was wheeled out of the operating room that I finally saw Yasmine and Nicholas in the ward.The two of them exchanged a silent glance when they saw me and turned away in unison, as if by mutual agreement.I couldn't help but feel that the tension between them had somehow lessened.
Nicholas' entire body trembled violently, his mouth opening and closing for a long time without being able to utter a single word."My father… wasn't it because of my mother…""It was your mother who ordered it, and Claudia carried it out!"Nicholas still couldn't comprehend, his voice hollow and di
