After Cindy's studio posted her latest update, Ariana was bashed so hard on the Internet that her name became a trending topic on Twitter. It wasn't that popular compared to the other topics, but it still sparked discussions among Twitter users."Lawyers are willing to take any court cases just for
I tilted my head innocently. Then, I asked nonchalantly, "Why did you bring him up?"A look of realization appeared on my face immediately. "Oh… Do you want me to protect you next time?"Then, I reached out to pinch Nicholas on the nose before tapping on the tip, just like how he always did to me ba
I had no idea if my guess was right, but I was willing to excuse his behavior. Zachary had someone he loved greatly. He was so lucky. Honestly speaking, I was quite envious of him.I brushed my cheek across Nicholas' as I leaned over to speak into the phone. "Ms. Gardner, don't make things difficult
In the end, we didn't get to go to the police station, but Nicholas and I didn't do anything other than the kiss we shared in the car.Today, Claudia didn't go to school at all. She intended to spend some private time with Nicholas, only to be interrupted by Francis.Since Nicholas chose to pick me
As I fought with Nicholas, I started believing the ridiculous reason that I used to instigate the argument. When I recalled the moments I had spent with Nicholas over the past four years, I'd always remember Claudia's presence in every one of them.In the past, I always kept my identity in check. H
I straddled Nicholas as I looked down at him silently. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, the desire in his dark eyes plain to see. But he wasn't in a hurry to take me.Under the faint moonlight, Nicholas studied me from various angles while maintaining his grip on my hips. It was as if he was admiri
It was a rather wild night for us. When I woke up, my mind was a complete mess.When I asked Wendy what time it was, her answer made me realize that it was already the next day. This made me smack myself in the head in frustration.Zachary had probably already been transferred to the detention cente
In the end, Claudia couldn't hold her own urges back at all. I fell silent for a moment before yanking my arm out, which had already gone white from her grip. Then, I smiled."So you're saying that you're the one who hired someone to stab you before framing me, right?"Claudia's smile faded away ins
"Nich…" As Nicholas leaned in suddenly, I immediately fell silent. I did not doubt that if I said even one more word, his lips would press down without hesitation.Our faces were inches apart. The intimate sound of our breaths tangled, slipping directly into each other's ears. The faint scent of tob
We spent too long on the road, and it was already 11:00 p.m. when I reached home. I politely thanked Nicholas and got out of the car, waiting for him to leave. However, he also got out of the car. "Let me walk you in."I glanced up at the short distance ahead, wondering what there was to walk me in
"But Claudia begged you. I heard her." I casually spoke, lightly tapping the screen with my fingers.It didn't matter how many times Nicholas tried to bury the trending topics surrounding Claudia online—I'd find a way to bring it back up. It was better to confront him than to keep lingering in unce
Some things wouldn't change whether spoken aloud or left unsaid. Nicholas didn't understand. He had already explained himself. What more did I want from him?The hope in his eyes dimmed as he said, "You clearly care about me, so why won't you let me get close?"No matter how good-tempered Nicholas w
I stayed silent, feeling dizzy the moment Nicholas held my hand. The words I didn't want to hear, the topics I tried to avoid, slipped so easily from his lips. "Ariana, I truly didn't know you were carrying our child. I thought the baby was gone back in the hospital..."His Adam's apple moved as he
"Where's Tabitha? I'm here to take her home," I looked around and asked.Nicholas replied, "I've put her to sleep. Could she stay with me for a few more days?""This early?" Nicholas nodded as he looked at me. His voice was heavy like something was weighing him down."She usually doesn't fall aslee
Claudia had left, yet it still felt like someone was standing there. The tension of a silent standoff stirred something deep within me. But under the cover of darkness, whatever I couldn't hide would still remain unseen."Was it you?" Nicholas's voice carried no hint of emotion, and his gaze was unr
The journey from Jay Caldwell & Co. to Coral Villa wasn't long, taking less than half an hour.I kept refreshing the webpage, watching the situation unfold. The trending topics about Claudia and Nelson continued to drop in popularity. Someone was clearly working to bury the story."Tell the PR team
In Nicholas's mind, it seemed like I still loved him because I had his child.I could clearly feel that from the moment I revealed that Tabitha was his daughter, he became much softer."We're here," Douglas reminded me in a low voice, snapping me back to the present.Today, I was meeting with Yasmin
