NovelEnglishFrom the moment I got in the car, Nicholas hadn't spareda glance. Even now, his eyes remained closed. I couldn't discern his emotions. What kind of façade was he keeping up? I suddenly felt like laughing. I knew exactly what he wanted.
Realizing that there was no need to beat around the bush with him, I began, "I want you to helpkeep Yasmine and Pete safe." Nicholas's eyes snapped open, his gaze so piercing that it felt as if my eyes had been stabbed. As a jolt of instinctive pain shot through my eyes, tears started welling up in them. My body was trying to helprelieve my agony. His expression darkened at the mention of Pete. "I told you yesterday that you're asking for too much." I met his gaze boldly and said, "You also want something that I happen to have." He snorted, propping his head with one hand as he turned to look at me. He still looked stunning, but the disdain in his expression was like he was weighing my worth and assessing whether I was worthy enough for this invisible deal. "Is this how you ask for a favor?" I bit my lip and clenched my fists. "What do you want?" "I don't have tto waste with you. If you can't figure it out, get out." At this point, I knew Nicholas was furious.

I had no idea whether he genuinely didn't want to seeor he was merely acting out of spite. Nevertheless, I was well aware that if he kickedout right now, no one else would be able to help me.
My tears fell onto his hand, and he jerked back as if he'd been scalded. The next second, he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulledonto his lap.
Nicholas leaned close to me, his breath hot against my ear. "I gave you a chance. If you don't leave now, there's no turning back." I nodded. Then, he hadstraddle him with my arms braced on his shoulders.
"Look at me." I obeyed, complying with his assessment to test my obedience. However, my mind was somewhere else as I mulled over the fact that we always ended up back at square one no matter how much thad passed.
A sharp jolt of pain shot through my lips. Snapping back to my senses, I realized Nicholas was devouring my lips with a frenzied fervor.
It wasn't a kiss. It was more like a vengeful outburst. I flinched from the pain, but I didn't pull away. Soon, a metallic tang spread in our mouths.
After quite stime, he finally pulled back. His gaze was cold and menacing, but his voice remained gentle. Gently brushing away the blood from my lips, he said, "Now you've shed blood fortoo."
