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
Nicholas glanced up. He looked past my shoulder as his eyes landed on Jasmine behind me. "Seems like spreading rumors offline was not enough for her. Now, she's trying to do it online too!" "Look! The main character has arrived. I wonder what kind of drama will unfold now." "It's clearly a movie
The camera immediately focused on Jasmine. She looked as if she was greatly wronged and kept choking up. I was even more surprised. Nicholas had always been gentle and proper in public. I had rarely seen him confront anyone in a public setting before. I did not expect such harsh words to be directe

The auction hall's large screen flickered, casting an unsettling light and filling the room with a sense of dread. The once-curious crowd now stared wide-eyed, frightened by Claudia's eerie smile and the sinister laughter echoing from the speakers.Nicholas spread his coat wide and wrapped me tightl
Nelson stumbled to the front of the stage, grabbed the microphone from the host, and shouted loudly, "Today's auction is canceled! Canceled!"Nicholas stood up calmly and said, "Since there was a bid, and my bid complies with the rules, this land is already mine! There's no justification for canceli
The auctioneer initially thought starting the bid at zero would ignite a frenzy in the auction room, given that this was a plot of land worth over 100 million dollars.But the moment he announced the starting price, the entire venue fell into an eerie silence.With Nicholas present, no one dared to
On our way back, Leo was still standing beside Yasmine. When he saw us approaching, he surprisingly nodded at both me and Nicholas—a rare acknowledgment.I frowned and glared at him. He had upset Yasmine again! I had expected Nicholas to ignore him entirely, but to my surprise, he nodded back sligh
Dressed in a black coat, the hem of Nicholas' garment billowed as he took a long stride forward.He walked toward me, his dark eyes seeming to hold an infinite power. At the moment our gazes met, a sense of calm washed over me.Only Nicholas made me truly think of this word. He was my calm, but he w
"Yasmine, check the brooch. Claudia will probably reveal my photos in the second half," I said.Yasmine had worn a sunflower brooch on her outfit today, equipped with a portable recording device to capture the events at the scene.She nodded with a serious expression. "Don't worry. It's all set."Sh
An auction naturally features more than one item. At first, there were some insignificant small plots of land with very low starting prices, serving as a warm-up. The attendees showed little interest, though some took the opportunity to bid on the cheap properties.Before the main event began, Beth
I lingered in the guest room until the time I had agreed upon with Yasmine before finally leaving the room.Originally, I had intended to avoid Nicholas for a while, but to my surprise, he was already gone from the Coral Villa.After bidding farewell to Tabitha and Cory, I drove to the firm to pick
