Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Chapter 465

He was definitely coming down with something, and it wasn’t anything minor.

With a deep sigh, Mercer shut his eyes, willing his mind to go blank.

Selah, a bit flushed from the drinks, was dropped off at her place by Nicolas.

The hint of red made her look even more enchanting.

Nicolas seemed to watch her a lot, whether he meant to or not.

He seemed like he wanted to say something the entire ride, but he kept silent.

As they pulled up to Selah’s apartment building in the fancy car, Nicolas was just about to open the door for Selah when something caught his eye outside.

He just froze.

Selah didn’t move to open the door either.

She turned to see Nicolas staring intently outside, a deep look in his eyes.

“Nicolas, is something wrong?” she asked.

With a nod of his chin towards the outside, Nicolas said, “Arturo’s here.

”

Then he unlocked the car door.

Selah’s grip on the handle tightened, and her body tensed up in the seat.

Noticing her pale face, Nicolas’s cold look grew even sharper.

“If you don’t want to face him, stay put.

I can take you away to hide for a bit.

”

But Selah bit her lip silently and held on to the car door.

She managed a weak but composed smile at Nicolas.

“Thanks, but you don’t have to worry about me.

This is my problem.

I should head in.

See you around.

”

With that, she pushed the door open and stepped out of the car.

Nicolas didn’t leave right away.

Instead, he peered through the dark window at the two figures outside.

“Why are you here?” Selah approached Arturo with a questioning look.

Catching sight of the fancy car by the curb, a slick grin spread across Arturo’s face.

He seized Selah’s wrist, drew her close, and ki*sed her swiftly.

Nicolas’ eyes fluttered shut, and he jerked his head to the side.

His hands clenched the steering wheel, his knuckles white, his eyes stormy.

He floored the gas pedal, speeding away.

Selah, pressed against Arturo’s solid frame, struggled to break free, but he was immovable, holding her firmly.

Frustrated, she bit his tongue sharply.

Arturo winced, a trickle of blood running from his lip, but he didn’t stop, his ki*s growing more intense.

The tang of blood filled their mouths, and Selah gasped for air.

Finally, Arturo let her go, looking down at her.

“Have you lost your mind?” Selah’s voice shook with anger.

Arturo, blood on his lips, stared coldly at her.

“If I hadn’t shown up, would you have invited that guy in? So, you’ve been pushing me away because you’ve got someone else!”
