Chapter 117

Nicole

I bit my lip after finally getting the last balloon up on the living room ceiling. A satisfied grin spread across my face as I took in all the decorations.

I wasn't sure if Nathan would appreciate this surprise, but I have to say, the birthday decor really brought his place to life.

Nathan was the type of guy who buried himself at work to escape his sadness. He had those nightmares he wished he could erase. But I was hoping that chapter was behind him now. No one should have to live with that kind of pain and loneliness.

When I glanced over at Landon, I frowned. Even with this exciting birthday bash for Nathan that I was so pumped about, he seemed off. He was perched on a stool at the kitchen counter, glued to his phone.

He looked restless, his legs bouncing up and down like he was anxiously waiting for something. His face showed a mix of anger and disappointment.

What was up with him?

"Landon," I called out, and he snapped his head up to look at me. "Are you

    NathanLandon rolled his eyes. "Care to explain that? Because what you just said makes zero sense. Let me ask you this: when you were in LA, did you let those two mess with your mind again?" There was a pause before Landon added, a bit uncertain, "Did you and Trish--""We didn't do anything," I replied. "There's nothing going on between us anymore. I ended things with her, and she promised that she won't bother me again."Landon sighed in relief, but the thought that he even considered me and Trish together made me feel sick."So what's going on right now?" His voice dropped, laced with anger. "Do you really want Nicole to leave you? She loves you, man. She told me that just yesterday."My fists trembled as I gripped the armrests. "Love me?" I scoffed. "What? She said she was in love with someone else, and now she tells you she loves me? She's just messing around, dude. She needs to leave, and honestly, she should have done it ages ago.""You're unbelievable!" Landon shook his head, c

  • Forced Married with the Ugly Billionaire   Leave me alone

    Chapter 120Nathan I just couldn't do it. I couldn't let her stay with me any longer.I was staring out the window in my room, lost in thought, when I felt Nicole at my door.She wasn't leaving, even though I was clearly ignoring her. It would have been simpler if she had just walked away. Each passing moment reminded me that I had to guide her to the farewell I never wanted to face."Nathan," Nicole called out again, her voice sounding weaker than before. There was a fragility in it, like glass that could break at any moment.She was losing her resolve, which was concerning because she had always tried to be strong for me. If she hadn't been strong, she wouldn't have been able to handle me. I knew I wasn't the easiest person to be with because of my past."What are you doing here, Nicole?" I finally spoke, still staring out the window.An awkward silence followed. She must have been puzzled by my question.But I genuinely wanted to know why she was here with me."Uh, I..." She hesit

    Chapter 119NicoleI was so anxious that all I wanted was to hear Nathan come through the front door. Landon's gaze softened, revealing the sadness he couldn't hide.Seeing that made me want to cry because I knew he understood. Given his intelligence, there was no way he didn't know about the articles. He stayed silent, not wanting to hurt me, and he wasn't trying to comfort me either, because the truth was undeniable."I get it," he said, swallowing hard as he looked at me one last time before turning to leave.I let out a sigh as he disappeared from view. I adjusted my pillow, lay back down, and pulled the blanket up to my chest. My eyes were fixed on the ceiling, which was adorned with balloons and letters wishing Nathan a happy birthday.When I planned this surprise, I was so excited to see his joyful expression. But now, I couldn't shake the worry of whether I'd ever see him again.Come on, Nicole. What are you doing? Stop letting negative thoughts creep in, as if crying in bed f

    Chapter 118NicoleAfter I typed the keyword into Google, I started scrolling through my phone. In just a few seconds, I stumbled upon a picture that nearly made my heart stop. It was a fresh shot, taken today, and both the image and the article title shattered my heart into pieces, leaving me gasping for air. Trish Collins was seen with her ex-fiancé, Nathan Monroe, walking into a hotel in Los Angeles. My eyes filled with tears as I stared at the photo of them entering the hotel lobby, and a big lump formed in my throat, making it hard for me to swallow.I clicked the link with shaky fingers, but the page didn't reveal much since the paparazzi were barred from the hotel, only managing to capture them outside. The article mentioned that the hotel was owned by Maxwell Group and noted how close they were walking together, leading us to speculate about what was happening between them inside the hotel room and whether her husband was aware.I shook my head in disbelief, accidentally dr

    Chapter 116"I get it if you want to leave," Trish said, her lips quivering. "I won't stop you, and honestly, just having you here to listen means the world to me. I couldn't ask for more. I'm really thankful you came to hear the explanation you needed. I just..." I stopped, waiting for her to continue."Aren't you going to say anything?" she whispered, her voice trembling. "Just tell me what's on your mind. You can even shout at me if you need to. Let me see the anger that's been bottled up inside you for so long. Please, Nathan, say something. I've been feeling so low because I can't stop thinking about you and what you've been through. Just give me a sign, anything." When I stayed silent, she gasped, tears choking her voice. "Just anything."I noticed her trembling hand still gripping my arm, and I could see the bruises on her arm too. I met her gaze again and calmly said, "I'm just here for answers. I don't have anything else to say." The truth came out. Trish stepped back, lett
