Chapter 0041
Claudia rested in Nicholas‘ embrace, wiping her tears away. Yet, he remained resolute in his decision.
I lost interest in watching further, but I was intrigued by the guy Nicholas had mentioned and his relationship with Claudia.
Would someone as influential as Nicholas even tolerate Claudia mentioning another guy when he wouldn’t let me talk to a guy I’ve known for over 20 years?
Upon reaching Hawk Manor, Claudia quickly exited the car and hurried inside. Rather than immediately following her, Nicholas circled to my side, opening the passenger door and gently helping me with my seatbelt.
“Brenda’s presence is unsettling my dad. You must send her away today!” Nicholas muttered.
I only realized then that everyone outside the manor was watching us. He deliberately grazed his cheek against my lips and said audibly enough for others to hear, “Sweetheart, there are a lot of eyes on us. Let’s save that kiss for later when we’re alone in our room.”
“You should start the divorce proceedings sooner rather than later. It’s for the best,” I whispered.
“I paid you over 80 million dollars. Isn’t that more than
generous for you to play along? I wouldn’t shell out that much even for a top celebrity. What makes you think you deserve it, Ariana?”

+25 BONU!
Nicholas‘ cold voice brushed against my ear, sending a chill down my spine. Finally, those words escaped his mouth.
Frustration simmered inside me, and I discreetly hit him, though to observers, it appeared to be playful banter between a couple.
Brenda finally felt relieved when she saw Nicholas grasp my hand as I got out of the car. She intertwined his hand with mine, patting mine so firmly that it quickly red after just two taps.
