It was already bright outside when Veronica was still asleep. However, not long after the rest, Nick kissed her again on the lips. His breath against her skin felt hot and tingly.
“No, I’m begging you. Please.” Veronica woke up and burst into tears.
Nick kissed her roughly and asked, “So, who is that guy? Who called you? Say it and I’ll let you rest ”
“No. I don’t know.” Veronica shook her head crying, her tears wetting her face. “Please, leave me alone, I really don’t know. Stop!”
Why was he doing this? How could he do this?
What did she do wrong?
When noon came near Nick got out of bed and went directly to the company, straight away, still full of hostility.
While the lifeless Veronica huddled in the quilt, tears flowed from his eyes onto her pillow. Her limp body was a mess.
From the moment Nick got off the car, his intimidating aura affected the whole KING Group, causing people to panic. They knew something dangerous just happened.
After all, the scenario of people getting fired for no reason was still fresh in their memory!
Those in power were emotionally unstable, which made the people below them suffer!
If they became lenient to their workers, the KING Group could not stay, and if it was strict, the whole workforce would be affected. However, even if there was a lot of pressure, they still worked conscientiously for the company. After all, the salary was high!
Watching special assistant Tours follow Mr. Cage into the elevator, Sheila at the front desk breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Supervisor, do you think special assistant Tours will be very strict?”
“I think so. Not everyone dares to take a high salary. It really depends on ability,” Venus Noyes said.
Kay Tours entered Nick’s office and asked politely, “Mr. Cage, have you had lunch yet? If not, I’ll prepare it for you now!”
“Get me coffee.” Three words.
“Yes, of course.” Kay went down to make coffee for him.
He brought the coffee and gently put it on his desk. “Mr. Cage, here’s your coffee.”
Nick didn’t move.
Since he came in, he had not sat down. He just stood at the huge French window and looked at the whole business district.
His whole body exuded a cold and grumpy aura, which was daunting to the people around him.
“If you don’t have anything to do, I’ll go down.” Kay nodded slightly.
“She hasn’t eaten.”
Kay froze for a moment and understood his words. It seemed that yesterday’s phone problem has not yet been solved, and even intensified.
When Kay went to make coffee, Nick got a call from the apartment. Veronica woke up but didn’t eat.
“Really? How so?” Kay asked further.
“She didn’t eat this morning. It’s almost 01:00 p. m. How can she not be hungry?” Nick said coldly, “It’s not that she’s not hungry, she’s just fighting!”
“Maybe, it’s just a wrong number,” Kay said.
“It can’t be a wrong number.” Nick was acutely aware that there was a problem between them! Veronica must have known that man. Why didn’t she say so? Who was she protecting? Was there anyone else besides him?
The thought of that possibility made his heart extremely irritable and violent!
He would never let that happen! Veronica was his, always will be. She could never escape him, and she must not even think about it!
“I need you to find that man.” Nick’s dark eyes were deep and cold. “Go listen to her cellphone.”
“Yes, sir.”
Veronica stood in the bathroom and looked at her miserable appearance in the mirror. Her swollen eyes could not help but burst into tears for the hundredth time.
As she closed her eyes, she swallowed the tears down and shut her screams.
Why did she have to go through so much?
Does Nick have a heart or not? Does he have to force her to death?
Yesterday, she was thinking of picking up the six little children and spending Sunday with them instead.
She was just trying to live.
Why would he do this to her?
She didn’t want Nick to touch her ever. Kissing him was already a kind of pain for her, not to mention his endless possessiveness!
It’s not that he didn’t know that she rejects him at times, but he had never taken into account her feelings, even though she was already begging him.
Their relationship was a dangerous game.
While she was in great grief, the bathroom door opened without consent and Veronica turned around with an anxious and frightened heart. Seeing the sudden large figure, she retreated with fear until she leaned against the wall.
Nick watched her panic reaction, slightly twisted his eyebrow. He held back from cursing at her, “Am I so terrible?”
“Stop. Don’t touch me.” Veronica’s eyes trembled with tears. It seemed that what appeared before her was not a man, but the devil.
“Go eat your meal.”
Veronica did not speak, as if weighing the meaning of the sentence. She was weighing the pros and cons of answering him back.
Nick stepped forward without saying a word.
“No, don’t. Go back! ” Veronica ran to the corner. She was pulled over by Nick. He picked her up and made her cry hard. “Nick, I’m begging you, don’t.”
As he took the person back to the room, he put her head on the reclining bed.
Nick sat on the edge of the bed, stared at her, wiped the tears from her face with his fingers, and assured her in a low voice, “I won’t touch you. But have a good meal.”
Veronica raised her scared glance. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she still looked at him in fear.
The maid outside brought the food in and Nick fed her himself.
Veronica looked at the meat being fed to her mouth in front of her, and the tears in her eyes rolled down.
Nick’s hands holding the spoon were stiff. “I didn’t hurt you last night, did I? I just touched you and now you went on a hunger strike against me?”
“I said not to continue.” Veronica’s voice was hoarse.
“Give me a reason.”
Veronica looked at the deep and sharp black eyes and felt a sharp stab in her chest. The tension in the air between them could be felt so vividly.
She wondered, what’s the reason? For Nick, there was no reason! She would not even dare to touch him in her lifetime!
She knew that she must open up herself to accept him for no reason so that she finally belonged to him completely.
“Open your mouth,” Nick said, patiently waving the spoon in front of her face.
“I can by myself.”
“Just eat it.” Nick was overbearing.
“Nick, are you afraid of starving me to death?” Veronica asked.
“You won’t have the chance.”
Nick went back to the company after feeding Veronica.
It seemed that he only came back to feed Veronica!
Veronica lay in bed, not sleepy. She looked at the sky outside the floating window with tearful eyes.
She only came back to avenge Isabella.
Although Chloe was not dead, she would be driven to despair by the way things were. She just wanted to make her pay a heavy price for what she has done.
Now that she already achieved her goal, what about herself?
Where should she go?
The lawyer reappeared in front of Chloe.
Before the purpose was stated, Chloe drove the lawyer away like crazy, “Get out! Get out of here! Don’t let me see you again!”
“Chloe, you will have to sue him if he doesn’t sign the divorce agreement, so it’s better not to make it too ugly.” The lawyer reminded her.
“Ugly? Do you think I am still afraid of things turning ugly?” Chloe was out in the open. “I want to see Kevin Cage!”
“Kevin won’t see you.”
“Even if he doesn’t want to see it, anyone else can see it!”
The lawyer stood there, speechless.
“You tell him that as long as I am alive, I will never sign those papers.”
The lawyer said, “Why? Kevin said he didn’t want to see you anymore?”
“Get out of here! Let him sue me! I’m not going to get divorced, and I’m not going to die!”
