Chapter 10

Author: Scarlett Flame
I walked out to the arrival hall with my luggage. I looked up and searched around, spotting that tall figure in a quick moment.

There Aaron stood, in a tall black coat.

I felt a warm current flow through my body and quickly walked over to him.

He smiled at me and pulled me into his arms.

"I'm an adult, Aaron. There's no need to pick me up."

Aaron was my father's adopted son, but he never once allowed me to refer to him as my brother.

He ruffled my hair and replied, "To me, you'll always be a kid."

Getting in the car, the nervousness and exhaustion of the past few days finally vanished. I slumped lazily in the passenger seat.

Aaron asked inquisitively, "Nina, how old is your ex-boyfriend? Why did you break up with him?"

That caught me off-guard, not expecting him to go into such details.

I did not want to answer, so I sat in silence, fiddling with my fingers.

He said helplessly, "You had a boyfriend without telling me or your father. Once we found out, you didn't even let us

  • The Man I Shouldn't Have Loved   Chapter 13

    Just when Lucian was distracted, our car sped off. He stood in the same spot, watching the car vanish from his sight. His heart suddenly felt empty."Nina! Nina!" His voice echoed in the streets, filled with pain and regret.…Back in the car, Aaron looked at Lucian going crazy through the rearview mirror. He could not help but look at me.He took a deep breath and asked, "Nina, could you tell me what happened between you two?"I looked up at him and told him everything that happened between Lucian and me, from how I got to know him, and how I was taken advantage of, to how I broke it off with him."I thought of seeking revenge once I've calmed down, but I never thought he'd come looking for me."Aaron hugged me tightly, feeling sorry for me. A hint of hostility gleamed in his gaze. "Don't worry. I'll seek justice for you."Then, he instructed the driver. "Turn around and crash into him."…Lucian was delighted to see the car turn around. He was so sure I changed my mind.

    Through Aaron's constant pursuit, I finally lowered my guard and decided to test the waters with him as a couple.What made me feel at ease was that Aaron would never once restrict me. Our interaction together was still as natural as before. I did not need to tiptoe around him like I did with Lucian.That day, I came out of the shopping mall to see a familiar figure standing by the door.Horrified to see Lucian, I was about to pick up my things and leave when Lucian stopped me in my path."Nina, I'm here to apologize…" he pleaded hoarsely. "I was a scumbag. I shouldn't have hurt you. No one's seen the videos, not even at our graduation ball. I actually thought of proposing to you that day–""If this is what you came here to say, forget about it," I said, cutting him off. "I'd like to forget it all."Lucian's heart sank. "I'm not only here to apologize. I'm here to get you back. I've liked you for a long time. No one else! I won't let you break up with me!"I said sarcastically,

    My mind was in a complete mess. I did not know how to respond.Noticing my anxiousness, Aaron did not force me to give him an answer immediately, but decided to pursue me once more.The next few days, he took me everywhere. With every date, he proved himself to me, lessening my worries.Suddenly, one day, I realized I was no longer thinking about Lucian. Aaron had eclipsed him entirely in my life….At the same moment in Lucian's mansion, the lights were dimmed, and the air reeked strongly of alcohol.Lucian was sitting on the floor with a bottle of whisky in his hand. He had been drinking himself drunk for almost an entire month.For the past month, he had been constantly searching for Nina but could not find her anywhere.His friends tried to talk him out of it, but he would not listen to anyone."What's going on with Lucian? He's never once reacted this way. It can't be only because of the failed plan, right?"Another person asked tentatively, "Have you all realized that…L

    Wendy's yells got further and further away, but everyone heard her loud and clear.The entire place fell into pin-drop silence the moment Wendy was taken away. Everyone looked on with bated breath, waiting for things to unfold.Someone finally said, "Lucian, why didn't you tell her? This matter could've been resolved with just one sentence."Lucian glared at him. "Why do I have to answer her questions? I can't stand unreasonable women like her."One of his friends said, "It's been a long while. Why isn't Nina here yet?"Lucian furrowed his brows as an unsettling feeling washed over him. He was worried that something had happened to me.With that, he picked up his phone to call me.When he unlocked his phone, however, he saw the message.[We're done. I don't love you anymore. You disgust me.]He froze on the spot. His fingers started to tremble, unable to believe what he was seeing.He immediately replied to my message only to realize I had blocked him. He tried calling me, bu

    What Lucian said stunned everyone.He continued, saying openly, "I think playing the videos now isn't enough of a revenge. I plan to play it on our wedding day. That's going to hurt Aaron more."Then, he headed into the hall, where he had already decorated the place for a proposal.He looked at the bouquet and frowned. "She doesn't like pink flowers. Change them to blue."He added, "Once she says yes, release transparent balloons. She likes them romantic."He took an intricate ring box out from his pocket and opened the box. A huge diamond-studded ring lay inside."Do you think she'll like the ring?"Everyone gasped when they saw the ring."Wasn't this ring owned by a princess? This costs a few hundred million!"Lucian said nothing but kept the ring back in his pocket. His friends started to look worried."Lucian's act is getting too real. Something feels off."One of his other friends shook his head. "Yeah. We better not mention the videos anymore. I suspect he's doing this
