I couldn’t understand what Nicholas was saying, but I did know that I could not allow Nicholas to take me away j

just like that. Otherwise, my trip to the Goodwin residence would be for nothing.

Karen came over to invite us in enthusiastically. I nodded, but Nicholas quickly held my head in place. Upon seeing this, Karen quickly shoved Marcus, wanting him to convince us to stay.

However, Marcus just stood there tensely, unmoving.

Nicholas turned me around in his arms and lifted me up by the hips like I was a child, and walked away.

“Let me down,” I whispered in his ear.

My face was flushed red due to the fact that I found our posture to be slightly embarrassing, considering that we were out in public.

The second he lifted me up, I felt like the world around me was spinning. I wished I could have just passed out from the dizziness as it was so embarrassing.

Suddenly, a rough slap landed on my ass, causing me to straighten my upper body, while I subconsciously wrapped my legs around his waist tightly. The intimate gesture happened so naturally, almost as if we back in the past.

Nicholas‘ breaths grew heavy as he said, “Don’t squeeze your legs so tightly.”

Just then, Karen came rushing toward us. “N–Nick–Mr. Hawk-”

Everyone always looked at Nicholas as if he was some kind of money–making machine, but I always sa…

him as someone who was cautious and reserved. Not to mention, his entire body was burning up.

I buried my face in his shoulders as my face was flushed red. I was too embarrassed to look at anyone..

Nicholas ignored Karen completely. He did not even pause momentarily as he quickly carried us to his

car

Once we were settled inside his car, Nicholas looked at me coldly. However, his voice was slightly hoarse as he asked, “Didn’t I tell you that there’s no need for you to come here today?”

The atmosphere within the car was ice–cold, and I could feel the coldness seeping into my body. I didn’t want to argue with him, so I kept my mouth shut and looked out the window.

I felt like Nicholas and I were great performers putting on a show. We would always be loving and affectionate in the eyes of the public, but we would always return to strangers when we were alone.

But what part of it was real, and what part of it was just a performance? I didn’t know either.

Once we reached home, I leaned over the table by the fish tank dazedly. Nicholas proceeded to purposely stand before the fish tank, blocking my view.

I looked at him momentarily before turning to look over him. The fish tank was huge, so it was impossible for him to block the entire thing.

He seemed to have noticed that and walked closer toward me, right until he had blocked my view completely.

I didn’t know what was wrong with Nicholas, but I was getting annoyed by his immature behavior.

“I’ll stop looking then.” With that, I got up and turned around.

Suddenly, he grabbed me by my waist and hoisted me over his shoulders. Before I could struggle, he had already thrown me onto the soft bed.

Nicholas ignored everything and pinned me down on the bed with his body, and I quickly used my arms and legs to create some distance between us.

Looking up at him, my eyes were filled with bitterness. “Don’t touch me. I was the one who insisted on meeting them alone. It can’t be considered as whatever ‘deal‘ we have between us.”

Nicholas scoffed before gulping. He didn’t want to go after her either. But what if she got hurt if he wasn’t there?

He wasn’t sure if he could handle seeing her passed out while blood seeped from her neck again.

Back then, he had gotten consecutive nightmares after the whole incident. He would dream of Ariana dying right before him.

A compilation of complex emotions flashed across his eyes. Other than desire, there was also a hint of grievances.

Just as I thought he was about to say something, he held me by my chin and kissed me. I couldn’t struggle. Soon, my clothes were quickly torn into pieces and scattered around the room.

As his kisses trailed downward, he asked, “Ariana, am I invisible? Can’t you see me? All you do is use me, and once you’re done, I’m of no use to you anymore, is that it?”
