Rift in the perfect picture

Chapter 0428

Nicholas grabbed my hand and threw me into the car without a word! He did not even bother with the seatbelt. His sports car instantly hit 180 miles per hour. Even in the dead of night, this was insanely dangerous on city streets.

My face went pale. I felt sick to my stomach like I might throw up any second. With shaking hands, I fumbled for the seatbelt.

“Nicholas, have you lost your mind?”

His bloodshot eyes were glued to the road ahead. He did not even blink, let alone answer me. The speedometer crept up to 200 miles per hour.

“Nicholas! If you want to die, leave me out of it! Stop the car! I want to get out!” His pupils constricted. Maybe something I said hit a nerve. He finally answered, “I wish we could die together!”

The car hit 220, and I did not dare provoke him further. Who knew how much faster he might go? I tried to stay calm.

“Okay. Then don’t stop. Just slow down a bit. Where are you taking me? I’ll go with you. We haven’t seen each other in so long, so we can talk on the way.”

I had underestimated how far gone Nicholas was. He ignored everything I said. I started to wonder if he could even hear me.

“Ariana, we should have died together at Pete’s wedding. That way, we’d be together forever, and Pete would have a wedding he’d never forget!”

The car hit 250 miles per hour. We had reached its limit. At this speed, even a tiny pebble on the road could kill us both. He must have been insane!

He did not want to live, and he did not want me to live either! He already forced Pete to get married, so what more did he want?

For a split second, I thought if I died here, it might actually be a relief. I was so tired of all this! My eyes were burning as I screamed at him, “Fine! Let’s just die together then!”

Tears spilled down my face uncontrollably. I clutched my stomach and yelled until my throat was raw,” We’ll die nice and neat, with your child and all!”

“What did you say?” Nicholas whipped his head around. His pale face suddenly flushed red. He roared in disbelief, “Ariana, say that again!”

When I was feeling really weak a while ago, I went to the hospital and found out I was pregnant again. It must have happened during New Year’s when we were abroad. That was the only time I could not think about contraception, and… well…

The doctor said my body was not suited for pregnancy. It had something to do with that herbal tonic Claudia gave me. My body was not fit to be a proper hast for a baby.

So this time, I had been extra careful. I even put work on hold. Every day I had been on edge, terrified something might go wrong. This constant fear made me feel so vulnerable.

Waking up in the middle of the night, I would wonder if I could keep going. Being a single mom was not
