“What do you think?“

I bit my slightly numb lips and chuckled. “What else do we have left between us?”
Nicholas frowned. “Why don’t you guess why I went to meet Marcus?”
My grip tightened around Nicholas’ shirt. I was holding onto him so tightly that I was oblivious to the fact that my nails were drawing blood from his shoulders.
“What do you mean?”
Nicholas said, “He’s about to be sent abroad, and he’ll regain his freedom once he’s abroad.”
As if that wasn’t enough, Nicholas continued, “Once he’s abroad, he’ll get married and start a family. He’ll follow the life his father has planned for him. You won’t be in his future life.
“I’ve known all along that the two of you would never work out.”
He pinched my cheeks and shook it slightly as if he was trying to admire my pained expression. He also seemed to be testing me, testing to see how important Pete was to me.
But he was bound to be disappointed. I would be happier than anyone else if Pete could live well and
have a stable future.
I stopped hiding and struggling. Instead, I reached out to tug away the clothes in between us and wrapped my arms around his waist.
“Let’s do this.”
I closed my eyes, waiting for him to take what he wanted. But as the seconds ticked away, nothing happened. Perhaps my calmness had caused him to lose interest.
“Nicholas?” I called gently. “If you don’t want to do it, could you get off of me?”
Nevertheless, he remained unmoved. Suddenly, there was a loud smashing sound.
Just as I opened my eyes, thinking that he wanted me to take the initiative, he suddenly clenched his hand into a fist and punched the headboard.
I got off the bed and went to find a set of clothes to change into.
1 shook my head, unwilling to think further about the matter. I planned to head to Jay Caldwell & Co. as there were multiple things to deal with considering that Yasmine wasn’t around.
