Chapter 172

Chapter 0172

Pete immediately grabbed my arm wanted to break free, but he

was too strong

"Were you about to hit me?"

"I don't want to talk to you. Let go of me, and get out!"

"This is my house!"

"Then move away. I'll leave!"

Suddenly, Pete chuckled and said, "You're so heartless!"

The next second, he pulled my hand and pinned me onto the bed. Ariana, I'm willing to risk it all today. I'd rather you hate me for the rest of your life than see you get back together with Nicholas."

I could see my pale face reflected in his deep, dark eyes. I watched as he closed his eyes and lowered his head without hesitation.

I quickly turned my head to the side while his lips fell onto the pillow beside me as he continued to pin down my shaking body.

I don't think we had ever been so close before. The thin materials of our clothes couldn't hide our rapid heartbeats.

For some unknown reason, there was a dead silence hanging. between us. But after a moment, it felt like a mysterious ritual had begun as the two of us began to speak.

"I'm sorry for bullying you back then"

"It's alright. I got used to it."

Pete gulped before saying, "I'm still a virgin."

Te no longer a vrgn

Nothing would change even if you were a prostitute, but I've lost my courage Could you take the initiative to do it instead? I don't want you to hate me.

I gritted my teeth. I'm not a prostitute. I'm already married, and you're acting out of line here."

"I don't care. I can take care of you after you've divorced him."

"You'll need to get up first before I can get a divorce."

"Fine."

Pete slowly got up before pinning me back down again. His voice was filled with reluctance as he said. "It's my first time pinning you on the bed, yet it ended up like this. Maybe it's because I know you too well, so I couldn't bring myself to do it. Ariana, why don't we try it again."

I kicked his leg and yelled, "Get the fuck out!"

He said dejectedly, "Fine. Also, the housekeeper was the one who changed your clothes. I didn't see anything.

It seemed like Pete and I were destined to meet since we were kids. Be it in kindergarten or school, we had grown up together.

Perhaps the price of that fate was that I would never be able to hate or blame him.

"Pete, there's a possibility that you're just protecting me out of habit, and not because you like me. Once you meet the person you truly love, you'll be able to see the difference."

I didn't want him to waste too much time on me. He was a good man

and deserved someone better than me.

"What are you two doing?"

Before I could finish my sentence, an angry voice rang out in the room. Pete was currently on top of me.

Nicholas immediately grabbed Pete by the collar with bloodshot eyes and flung him onto the floor. Following his action was the loud sound of Pete hitting something.

A plump housekeeper quickly ran in Pete's direction. "Sir, how could you break into a private property? I can call the police!"

Nicholas ignored the housekeeper and walked toward Pete. He held Pete by the neck and looked like he was about to choke Pete to death.

Pete winced in pain, but he was still stubborn as he said in a hoarse. voice, "Nicholas, you should kill me today if you can. Otherwise, don't even think of taking Ariana away from me!" There was a wave of chilling anger and hostility in Nicholas' eyes. when he said, "Then I'll fulfill your wishes!"

I quickly ran over and held Nicholas's arm tightly, but I couldn't move his hands away. Seeing Pete's complexion slowly turn purple, I exclaimed, "Let go of him. He's about to die!" Then, I opened my mouth and bit Nicholas' arm harshly.
