I quickly ran over and placed my hands over the arm Nicholas was using to hold onto Pete's collar. I tried to break them apart, but Nicholas' grip was so tight that the veins around his arm had popped from his wrist up into his sleeve.Looking up, I saw that his entire face was dark and even his ga
As expected, Nicholas entered my apartment with ease. It was almost as if he was entering his own home. He turned on the lights and looked at me. He even asked, "Aren't you going to come in?"Head inside? Why should I head inside and be in the same room as him?I felt like I was in a dream as I loo
I didn't even have the strength to cry as I watched him lose control. I only felt a strong sense of helplessness.My heart was filled with sorrow. The feeling of his touch did not make me feel anything, and I knew he was merely lashing out at me. I raised my head helplessly, trying to avoid his kis
The edge of the pendant scratched Nicholas' face, causing his cheek to bleed. He tilted his head as he watched the necklace fall to the ground. He looked like he had just been punched in the gut."Stop wasting your time on me! Stop going crazy over me! And stop interfering with my life! No matter wh
I was tired, but I couldn't fall asleep even as tears streamed down my cheeks from exhaustion.Early the next morning, I brought a small suitcase with me and moved into Yasmine's home. She comforted me, saying that I was just going through a rough patch and that things would slowly get better.In t
I watched as cars continued to pass by us while Yasmine's sighs kept getting louder."I won't allow you to lower your head against that bastard. If push comes to shove, we'll just contact Silas. He had been your mentor once. I doubt he'll sit back and not lend a helping hand, right?"I collected my
Disguised as members of high society, people wore fake smiles and greeted each other with superficial pleasantries.Jasmine, who was dressed in a bright red suit, stood in the center of the hall, looking professional and stunning.When someone was in the limelight, no one cared about their past. Eve
The music in the hall persisted relentlessly, but everyone present was frozen in place.Jasmine's face was half swollen, and the other half was as pale as a ghost. Her fragile body nearly collapsed to the ground, but someone quickly caught her. Her eyes were empty and devoid of life."I heard Mr. Ha
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
"All the mistakes began with me, so today, I will end them."Because of my actions, those who deserved punishment were able to evade justice for four long years. I am willing to cooperate with the police investigation, provide the necessary evidence, and take full legal responsibility for any past a
After hanging up the call, I immediately searched online.Screenshots of Nicholas being taken away were plastered across numerous articles by the tabloids. And the top four trending topics were all about him."Hawk Corporation CEO Publicly Confesses Love""Hawk Corporation CEO Taken Away for Investi
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
Nicholas started trembling uncontrollably, anger surging through him almost instantly, consuming every fiber of his being.Although he was aware that there were still some unresolved misunderstandings between him and me, she had already said she didn't mind. He had thought it wasn't something import
The ambulance arrived swiftly, its flashing red warning lights casting Yasmine's pale face in an even starker hue.She got into the ambulance with Leo, while Nicholas and I drove together to the hospital.Nicholas sighed regretfully, "I arranged everything as quickly as I could, but I was still a bi
