Chapter 0005
I rubbed my forehead as tears brimmed in my eyes. I looked up and realized that I hadn’t bumped into a wall. Instead, I bumped into Nicholas‘ solid chest.
“I wouldn’t go bankrupt even if I had to employ a billion. housekeepers like Wendy to keep you fed,” Nicholas said.
Nicholas hid his emotions well, but I still caught a fleeting look. of disdain on his face. What was there to be so smug about? No matter how rich he was, I paid Wendy her salary.
I grabbed the handle of my suitcase and walked past Nicholas.
without sparing him another glance.
However, Nicholas blocked my way expressionlessly and kicked the bottom of the suitcase. He instructed Wendy, who was standing nearby, “Put the madam’s belongings back in their place.”
Wendy quickly ran after the rolling suitcase and made her
escape.
I didn’t blame Wendy for her lack of loyalty, nor did I feel ashamed about getting caught by Nicholas. I was definitely not the person in his household who should feel ashamed.
“You shouldn’t block the way if you know what’s good for you.” This was probably the most assertive thing I had said to Nicholas since we met.
Nicholas did not reply. Instead, he suddenly crouched down.
Before I could understand what was happening, I found myself

with both feet in the air. Nicholas actually hoisted me over his shoulder!
I struggled and kicked to get away, only to receive a hard slap on my butt. Stunned, I bit down on his shoulder in anger.
The pain from my clenched teeth couldn’t wash away the indescribable resentment I felt in my heart. Tears fell uncontrollably from my eyes.
Did Nicholas refuse to let me go because he enjoyed testing the moral boundaries of having both his wife and mistress under the same roof? Or had he fallen in love with the thrill of
infidelity?
I tried to ease my pain with such venomous thoughts, but it was futile.
Nicholas threw me on the bed and immediately pressed his body down on top of me. He landed kisses all over my face,
but all he could taste were bitter tears.
“Don’t touch me!” I cried.
He had already masturbated once today. Wasn’t he afraid he’d be sexually exhausted if he had sex with me now? We had never done it twice in a row before. Honestly, I had almost forgotten what it felt like.
Surprised, Nicholas fixed his gaze on me. “Are you crying. because we didn’t do it this morning?”
“No!” I retorted, “I don’t want to be with you anymore. I want a divorce.”

I thought that I would feel hurt when the word “divorce” slipped out of my mouth, but I didn’t feel sad at all. Instead, she felt a sense of relief.
I had enough of trying to please him all these years. I was tired of it. It seemed that I had also been waiting for this day
subconsciously.
It was no wonder that Nicholas remained cold to me no matter
how well I treated him. It turned out that he had long been secretly in love with someone else.
The tenderness on Nicholas‘ face disappeared and was replaced with a chilling look. “You want a divorce just because I spent more time with Claudia after she got hurt? Ariana, you should know how to draw the line within the limits of my patience even if you wish to kick up a fuss.”
1 fixed my gaze on Nicholas silently before letting out a sigh. Nicholas, you are a married man. Do you understand what boundaries are?”
Nicholas replied, “Are you talking to me about boundaries? You confessed to me right away in our arranged meeting. Do you
know what a woman’s boundaries are?
“Besides, Claudia is like a sister to me. We’ve always been like this. Maybe you should reflect on yourself if you think there’s a problem between us.”
I gaped in shock. I never expected Nicholas to bring up the fact
that I had confessed to him first.

The first time I met him was at a banquet. Nicholas was performing on stage, like a picture of a perfect golden child. Back then, everyone in Radiant City described him as an exceptional scion of the Hawk family whenever his name was mentioned.
