"Since when did Pete becmore important to you than Yasmine?" Even Nicholas's shadow seemed to carry weight. For a moment, I felt like I could barely breathe.
As he closed in on me, I felt my body trembling. Trapped between the wall and his chest, I had no strength left to resist.

When Nicholas asked this question, his heart was pounding just as hard. He could handle arguing withor our relationship being strained, but he also couldn't acceptfalling for someone else during this time.
He had overestimated human nature. Pete had likedfor so many years. Now that he had the chance, there was no way he would letgo.
But luckily, it wasn't too late. As long as I chose Yasmine, he wouldn't mind doing Pete favor, as long as I still belonged to him.
I stared coldly at Nicholas. "So, are you admitting that you're behind what happened to Yasmine and Pete?" Nicholas remained silent, his lips pressed together. Jasmine's words suddenly echoed in his mind. Maybe he should push her to make a choice. He spoke softly. "Ariana, have you had enough fun? It's tto chome." My straight back bent even lower as Nicholas's head leaned closer. Just as he was about to kiss me, I pushed hard against his shoulders.
My heart pounded loudly in my chest. "If I choose one, does it cwith conditions or not?" When it cto me, Nicholas had all the patience in the world.

Then, he said with a mocking tone, "Ms. Jones, you should count how many demands you just made." I couldn't tell what Nicholas was hinting at. Was he accusingof pushing my luck, or was it just a casual tease? The dim lighting in the room made it impossible to read his mood through his eyes.
I only knew that, without Pete, it would be nearly impossible to get Yasmine out of this mess on my own, let alone help with her parents' situation. No one understood the power of public opinion better than I did.

I meant it, utterly seriously. Nicholas for a moment m remained silent for a perhaps contemplating. "Fine. But from now on, you can't contact Pete anymore. Can you do that?"
His large hand reached out, easily enveloping my hand which wasm holding the phone! He raised his hand, shaking it firmly in front of my face. "All contact information must be deleted, no exceptions."
