Chapter 50

Everyone thought I gave him the business because I got the wrong person. They thought Christophershould have been the one to get it, not him. No. I had never thought of it that way. Nicholas wanted todivorce me three months ago when I gave the company to him. I should hate him. I should havedespised him, but I still gave the company to him. Aside from love, he was a suitable handler. He hadambition, and he was capable enough to grow his company from a small tech firm into a juggernaut.My family's company needed someone like him to handle it.

I might not have given it to Christopher. Christopher was an artist. He had no interest in business. Nomatter how much I loved him, I would still put my family first. Nicholas did not get the company throughdeception. Even now, I still wanted him to be the one to handle the company. Hence, thismisunderstanding must be cleared. I gathered my thoughts and explained, "Nicholas, you did not getthe company through deception. I had my own reasons to give it to you. You're the only one in Bryxtonwho understands it enough to manage it." He had been trying to take my company out for three years.Of course he knew it well.

For a moment, Nicholas was surprised. He held my arm and asked, "Why are you bringing that up all ofa sudden?"

"Clair wants me to return to Sundew."

Upon hearing that, he asked, "So you're giving the company to me?"

"Yep. I don't have to worry about money and I have no children. I don't know how much longer I canlive either, so I don't want to waste any time on the company. You're the perfect candidate to handle

this company, so I'll still give it to you."

"Don't you hate me?" he asked, sounding anxious.

"I do. You used to be so cruel to me."

He closed his eyes at that. "You should hate me."

"You can take the company whenever you want."

"What about Christopher?"

I frowned. "What about him?"

Nicholas snapped in response, "You're going to give him up as well?"

I had no idea who I really loved, and I wanted to escape. I wanted to run away from the problem,leaving both Nicholas and Christopher behind.

…

Nicholas did not accept my suggestion, and the problem about the company was left for another day. Iwas dejected, of course. I did not want to handle this mess.

He went to catch some fish in the backyard later, and I followed him. I saw him kill the salmon, scale it,and went to the kitchen to make a dish out of it. He was still in his black silk robe, and part of his chestwas exposed. Truth be told, he was sexy and alluring in that robe. Indeed, men could also be alluring.

He had an elegant way of cooking. When he noticed me staring at him, he teased, "I'm handsome,aren't I?"

Godd*mmit! He sees through me. I ignored him and went to the living room. Nicholas was a great cook,but I gave that salmon a wide berth. It made me sick.

It was dark outside when I was done with dinner. I sat on the sofa for a while before going upstairs toget a robe. I then had a shower and took my medicine. I always had my pills in my handbag now.

I had just finished taking my medication when someone came in. I looked at the door, and Nicholascame to sit on the bed. Honestly, this was awkward. I dried my hair, pretending he was not there. Hedid not care and lay down on my bed to scroll through his phone.

I had no idea how to chase him out. After I was done drying my hair, I sat on the bed and scrolledthrough my phone as well. We did our own stuff without disturbing each other, but someone just had tobreak the silence. It was none other than Olivia. She called me, much to my surprise.

I was wondering if I should take the call, and Nicholas huddled closer. When he saw who the callerwas, he frowned in annoyance. "All Olivia cares about is Christopher."

Nicholas seldom called Christopher 'Chris', and the duo seemed to be estranged. Since Nicholas wasright beside me, I did not take the call, but Olivia did not give up. She video-called me a moment later.

Annoyed, Nicholas snatched my phone away and took the call, "What do you want, Olivia?"

He sounded impatient. Olivia looked surprised to see him on the other end of the call. "Nick? I'mlooking for Renee."

"What do you want with my wife?"

That dumb*ss just called me his wife!

Olivia noticed something, and she asked, "Oh—right. Where's Mrs. Forger?"

Instead of answering her, Nicholas asked, "What do you want with her?"

"I got arrested again."

Nicholas shot her a glare.

Olivia fumbled to explain herself, "I didn't want to bother Chris and you'd yell at me, so Renee is all Ihave."

At that, Nicholas shot back, "You deserve it."

Olivia begged, "Nick, please save me!"

"Save yourself," Nicholas refused her outright and hung up. I hesitated for a moment and said, "I don'tthink that was very nice."

He handed my phone to me. "She wasn't very nice when she got herself in trouble. Let her learn herlesson in the station. I'll bail her out tomorrow." A while later, he sighed. "I pity her sometimes. She

loves Christopher as much as you do. She grew up with him. Olivia has loved him for more than adecade."

Nicholas really loved talking about my love for Christopher, and it frustrated me. "Can you not talkabout Christopher?"

Nicholas sneered. "Someone's panicking."

I did not want to argue with him. I tried to push him away, but he pulled me into his embrace. He thenheld my head closer to his chest, and I could hear the sound of his heartbeat.

I tried to struggle free, and he suddenly asked, "Do you hear it?"

For some reason, I asked, "Hear what?"

"The sound of my heartbeat."

Huh? What is he talking about? Before I could figure out what he was trying to say, he suddenlypressed his lips against mine, and I could feel his hand sliding into my robe. "I knew it! You are trying toget into my pants!"

He smiled at that. "Yes, I am."

I broke free of his grasp and tried to kick him. He did not dodge it. Insead, he held my ankle and pulledme back into his embrace. He tried to persuade me, "Ree, this is the perfect chance for some sexytime. Want to try it out?"

"Let me go, Nicholas!"

I was starting to panic, and he let me go with a smile. He whispered, "I was just kidding. You were tootense earlier, though I did want to get into your… Anyway, this is a punishment."

"What? Punishment?" Hey, you can't kiss me out of nowhere!

His eyes glinted. "Yep. A punishment." He pulled my robe off, revealing my naked self right in front ofhim.

"I got orrested ogoin."

Nicholos shot her o glore.

Olivio fumbled to exploin herself, "I didn't wont to bother Chris ond you'd yell ot me, so Renee is oll Ihove."

At thot, Nicholos shot bock, "You deserve it."

Olivio begged, "Nick, pleose sove me!"

"Sove yourself," Nicholos refused her outright ond hung up. I hesitoted for o moment ond soid, "I don'tthink thot wos very nice."

He honded my phone to me. "She wosn't very nice when she got herself in trouble. Let her leorn herlesson in the stotion. I'll boil her out tomorrow." A while loter, he sighed. "I pity her sometimes. She

loves Christopher os much os you do. She grew up with him. Olivio hos loved him for more thon odecode."

Nicholos reolly loved tolking obout my love for Christopher, ond it frustroted me. "Con you not tolkobout Christopher?"

Nicholos sneered. "Someone's ponicking."

I did not wont to orgue with him. I tried to push him owoy, but he pulled me into his embroce. He thenheld my heod closer to his chest, ond I could heor the sound of his heortbeot.
