Rift in the perfect picture

“Did you really do nothing?” I smiled slightly. Then, give our baby the grandest fireworks show,

Nicholas’s eyes were red as he nodded. He immediately pulled out his phone and made the

arrangements himself. The display was so grand that overshadowed Pete’s wedding, but I wasn’t able

to enjoy it

Back at the hotel, I was already running a fever. The fever came from an infection due to my injuries. It wasn’t easy to get proper treatment abroad for something like this, so I was given a few pills and left to wat for my body to cool down on its own.

In the pitch–black room, Nicholas sat by the bed and watched over me. My mind drifted in and out of consciousness, but I could still hear the distant fireworks outsideThis is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Because of my return was delayed Nicholas didn’t spend all his time with me either

He was busy as he had to deal with the mess left befied by his partnership with Annie We couldn’t make 8. back for New Year’s with Daniel, so he arranged for Claudia to be sent home first.

Before she left, she deliberately sneaked into my momand woke me up. Her eyes gleamed with malice like denbaring to fango as she glared down at me

Ever since she learned that Nicholas and I had never divorced, I could feel the hostility in her growing soranger i didn’t have the energy to deal with her

She leaned in close and whispered in my ears, “Anand, Petes having a hard time now I don’t know why Nicholas kept targeting him Even I cant stand it but Nicholas wort sten to me

“Please get better soon. Perhaps you can talk to him. After all, he practically watched Pete grow up. He wouldn’t just ignore their brotherhood, right?”

I spent the rest of the night tossing and turning, trapped in nightmares. In the dream, Pete stood on the edge of a cliff, and Nicholas smiled at him from the front.

Each time Nicholas took a step forward, Pete retreated one step back. Pebbles tumbled off the cliffside. I screamed, “No! Stop!”

But in the next instant, Pete fell backward, plummeting to the bottom. His body shattered upon impact, right before my eyes….

I jolted awake, grabbing the trash can by my bedside and throwing up. A large hand suddenly rested on my back.

Cold sweat drenched me as fear washed over my body. I trembled uncontrollably.

“Why are you sweating so much?” Nicholas moved in front of me, wiping my face with a tissue. “Did you

have a nightmare?”

I looked up at him, meeting his empty, hollow eyes.
