I did not let go. The anger and resentm

slowly grew from the moment I saw him

was not until I tasted

blood did I felt a hint of vengeful satisfaction.

Nicholas endured the pain with fierce eyes. His handsome face was dark and covered with a terrifying layer of ice.

Even with blood flowing down his wrist, he did not make a sound. He was just shaking uncontrollably from the physical pain.

My teeth ached from biting down on him so hard. He slowly moved his wrist and pulled his hand from my mouth, but he never let go of my hand. His thumb caressed the back of my hand.

His voice was hoarse and full of warning. "Ariana, don't fight against me and the Hawk family. I just want you to understand that you're nothing if you're not Mrs. Hawk. You won't be able to have anything.

"But if you stay by my side, you can have everything you want." He smiled elegantly. "Come. I'll take you home.

"Ariana, I'll be good to you." His gentleness frightened me. How could someone say such cruel things with a soft voice?

It felt as if the air around me had become thin. My chest heaved, but I still felt like I could not breathe.

I thought I had grown up now that I had entered society, but why was I still unable to discern people's hearts? Now, I just wanted to know if the Nicholas I fell in love with had ever been truly gentle, or if it was all an act like today. Everything he showed could be just a mask he wore when

"If you kill me, it'll solve everything. Daudia will be maddy, and mU heart won't beat or hurt anymore

Tears filled my eyes before streaming down my face with a distorted expression. Nicholas's face blured in my VISOT. HET I became clear again.

His raised arm did not fall for a long time, his fist clenching and unclenching. He suddenly pulled me into an embrace with a trembling voice.

His embrace was warm as the enveloped my unsteady brock Tie spent on him was familiar, fresh, and pleasant

"Nicholas, I'd rather you kill me than torture me so gently

I would prefer him to pick a big fight with me unreasonably, or even tie me up and take me back to the seaside villa to give me the cold shoulder. It was better than taking me home this way. Slow burns hurt more over time. My chest ached piercingly. Every inch of skin where he held me felt like it was burning and bursting 1 struggled to push him away and tried to control my helpless emotions.

"Nicholas, I'll only ask you one thing. Did you listen to the voice recording?"

Nicholas, who usually remained impassive no matter what happened, trembled for a moment. His face darkened. Though his lips moved, no words came out. Sometimes, silence was the best

answer.

"Just go. You've already driven me to the brink. What else can I fear from you?"

I paused. My tears were not yet dry, but I somehow managed to laugh. "Nicholas, have you ever heard the saying 'Those with nothing to lose fear nothing?"

I stepped forward to force him to retreat. As he stepped outside, I gripped the door handle and was ready to close it.

"Ariana!" He braced one hand against the door frame. His voice was restrained and suppressed as he yelled, "She's my only sister! Do you have to be at odds with her?"

"I'm at odds with her?" I could hardly believe it. Did Nicholas even. know what he was saying?

But I did not care about angering Nicholas further. What more could he do to me? I changed my tone.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"I have evidence of all the bad things she's done. Go ahead and keep pushing me if you dare. In the worst-case scenario, we'll just go down together!"

For three consecutive days, I called Västrine daily to ask about Fay Caldwell & Co and her parents

Her parents were about to retire. My greatest fear was that this would affect them. I was worried that he would ruin their family's noble reputation in their twilight years.

I kept praying that Nicholas would have some conscience left and would not go after the elderly Fortunately, Yasmine assured me that everything was fine.

After enduring these worries for three days, my body finally could not take the strain anymore. The exhaustion and overexertion caused me to develop a high fever as my body burned up.

When Yasmine found me, I could not remember how she got me to the hospital. I only knew there was an annoying voice in my ear stopping me from falling asleep.
