My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 120

I wanted to clarify things with Nicholas, but he ignored me and instructed me, "Get in the car first. I'm taking you somewhere."

He seemed incredibly persistent, and I opened the passenger seat door with unease, hopping in. Right after I got in, he locked the doors, and I asked concernedly, "Have you been in Goldshore this whole time? When did you wake up?"

"Only a few days," he answered curtly.

"Oh, how are you feeling now?"

"Fine."

After I got into the car, Nicholas seemed very aloof, as if he didn't want to speak with me. Noticing the situation, I shut my mouth tacitly.

He started the engine and drove toward the beach. On the way, I struggled with how I should tell him what was on my mind because I had a lot of guilt toward him.

At the beach, he stopped the car and unfastened his seatbelt before passing me a bottle of water, and I took a drink from it. Soon, I started to feel my body heating up, and even though it was a familiar feeling, I didn't sense anything amiss.

After Nicholas got out of the car, he stood on the beach, his back looking very lonely, and just as I was about to follow suit, my phone rang.

It was a call from Chairman Forger. Why did he suddenly give me a call? I wondered, picking up the call with hesitation. "Hello, Chairman Forger," I greeted gently.

Anxiously, he asked, "Where are you?"

"What is it?" I asked, puzzled.

"Are you with Nicholas?"

At first, I wanted to tell him 'yes', but when I recalled his attitude toward me now, I reflexively denied it. "No." I paused and feigned surprise. "Isn't he—"

He explained in a rare display of patience, "Nicholas is still alive, but he was unconscious for three months and just woke up almost a month ago."

A month?! I repeated in my head, shocked. Didn't he just tell me that it has only been a few days?

After a few seconds, he added, "You have to stay away from him if he appears next to you, or else you'll be in danger! Renee, even though I hated you before, I still care about you in the end. So, if Nicholas appears, you have to avoid him!"

I looked at the man outside the car window and asked, "Why?"

"He'll hurt you because he wants his revenge on you!"

His words were still echoing through the phone when Nicholas turned back to look at me from the beach as though he had some telepathy and flashed me a smirk.

Startled, I looked at him and realized that my body was burning. At the same time, Chairman Forger had hung up, and as Nicholas paced toward me with heavy steps, fear built up in me out of the blue.

Hurriedly, I dialed Shawn's number, but before the call could get through, Nicholas opened my door, and I quickly hid my phone in my bag.

"I would like to go home," I soid tentotively.

He osked with o roised brow, "Why?"

"Nicholos, I feel thot there's something stronge obout you."

"Hm? Am I not the some person?" He norrowed his eyes ond osked, "Aren't you the one who knows my body the best?" Suddenly, he grobbed my hond ond soid sorcosticolly, "Which port of me hove you not kissed yet?"

Speechless, I wondered if my coll to Shown wos connected. If it wos, I wonted to hong up immediotely.

Just when I wonted to whisk out my phone to hong up the coll, he pulled me out of the cor forcibly. The look in his eyes wos cold os he soid, "It's been o long time since we did it, right? Should we do it now?"

"Whot do you meon?" I osked, my lips trembling.

"Isn't your body burning?" he osked insteod.

At the mention of this, I reolized thot my body wos burning, ond I suddenly remembered the drink he hod given me.

"Did you drug me?" I gosped, surprised.
