The sound of running water echoed from the bathroom. I could hear some indescribable noises of pleasure too. He would rather take care of himself than touch me. I always thought Nicholas's possessiveness toward me was related to the "new experiences" I had brought into his life. I had suddenly inj
Though he was aroused, he also knew how to restrain himself. Nicholas called for a stop again at the crucial moment. "I can wait for you." Nicholas gently bit my lip to end this intimate moment. "But don't make me wait too long." His body trembled slightly as he breathed. His breath was heavy with
Nicholas's words instantly stirred up emotions in my heart as it pounded hard. His gaze was soft and sincere. I raised my hand to cover his eyes and planted a light kiss on his lips. If we had not gone through those experiences before, I would have been moved. But now… It was too late. By the time
It was from my Facebook posts. I used to treat my social media like a diary. I had said so many things there that I probably would not remember every word. But once reminded, I could usually recall most of it. Yet, Nicholas quoted it word for word. He kept moving closer to me, so close that even ou
Ever since I started seeing Nicholas again, he had suggested I go visit his father. For Daniel, my return was good news. He said it might help improve Daniel's condition. I wonder if Nicholas's fixation on me has something to do with his father too, given how good of a son he was. But I was not som
"Nicholas, you think too highly of yourself." How could Nicholas possibly understand how I felt back then? I once loved him deeply. But his so-called "not doing well" only resulted in forceful possession of me. He never truly suffered or worried for me even for a moment. "I used to want the person
I pushed him away. The smell of alcohol on his breath was overwhelming as if I had been drinking too. Though this was his first time being so drunk, it was something I would have done when I was younger. Back then, I was constantly anxious. I would swing between high spirits and thoughts of giving
It was a grand fireworks display for the whole city to watch. Some netizens joked, "I wonder which CEO is appeasing his sweet wife now." A few observant netizens noticed that this fireworks show was identical to a recent one. Nicholas and Jasmine's names once again appeared in the public eye after
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

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
