Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438 Nicholas’ Revenge
Only then did the gloominess on Nicholas’ face ease a little; Kieran managed to persuade him.
“Take care of this. I don’t want anything to happen to Timothy’s company,” he ordered. Because if something happened to Timothy, Tessa would definitely be uneasy, and he didn’t want her to worry.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely take care of it properly.” Kieran smiled confidently before he switched the topic to other matters at the company.
That afternoon, Nero received a report from his assistant. “Mr. Stone, Sawyer Group released a message saying that Reinhart Group is under them. Now other companies have recontacted Reinhart Group under the interference of Sawyer Group to prepare for a partnership.”
Hearing this, Nero was furious. He gritted his teeth. “Does Nicholas really want to protect the Reinhart Family to the end?”
The assistant stood respectfully in the center of the office in silence. He knew that the chairman didn’t need him to respond to these words.
…
At the villa in Vienna, Tessa didn’t know what was happening back at home. Hathaway gave her two days off in order for her to have a good rest at home. During the past two days, Nicholas did not go to the branch office, and stayed at home with her and Gregory. During the day, Nicholas would handle the company’s affairs in the study while she would practice the violin with Gregory in the music room. After dinner in the evening, they would go for a walk in a nearby park, holding hands with each other just like a happy family. Their days were ordinary and blissful, and it felt like a dream to Tessa every time she thought about it.
After they made love that night, she couldn’t help but hug Nicholas and sigh. “I’ve been so happy recently that it feels unreal. I’m scared that it’s a dream, and that after I wake up, both you and Greg won’t be here anymore.”
Nicholas raised his eyebrows slightly as he listened to her worries. Suddenly, he turned over and pressed her under his body again, saying condescendingly, “I guess I didn’t use enough force just now if you still have the energy to think about this. In that case, let’s continue.”
As soon as he said that, he descended upon her again. Tessa wasn’t able to stop him in time, and was lost in his intense kisses again as their passion was reignited. By the time they were finished, it was already almost dawn. She was sprawled out on the big bed, so tired that she couldn’t even move a finger.
As the sight entered Nicholas’ view, an evil smirk appeared on his lips, and he said with a smile, “Surely those pointless worries are gone by now?”
“Go to sleep.” Tessa glared at him angrily and bundled herself in the blanket before turning her back to him, pretending to sleep.
She vowed that even if she was imagining things, she would never tell him again. Otherwise, she might drop dead on the bed.
Meanwhile, unlike Tessa’s happy days, Duane had had a terrible two days. The Black Wolves Mercenary Group that he had created was raided in two of their bases, both suffering heavy losses. He was especially shocked and angry after learning from his subordinates that Nicholas was behind this, as he hadn’t expected Nicholas’ revenge to come so quickly.
“Master, what should we do now? I feel like Nicholas wouldn’t give up easily.” The confidant stood in the center of the office and looked at Duane inquisitively.
Duane was also aware that Nicholas would not just forget this matter, or he wouldn’t have destroyed both of his bases in a row, and in such a cruel and decisive method that it was shocking. Thinking of this, he was more frightened than angry, for he had never suffered this much after starting Black Wolves for so long! Nicholas Sawyer, a tough opponent indeed.
“Tell everyone in each base to get their acts together now. No matter which base it is, if anything happens, the other bases must immediately provide support! Also, double the supplies that are being allocated to the bases, and tell them that in any case, they must hold on until reinforcements arrive.”
“Yes, sir!” The confidant left to do as he was told.
After that, Duane was the only one left in the office. He sat in the leather executive chair with a dark expression, confident that Nicholas wouldn’t dare to continue provoking him like this.
