In the face of Nina’s desperate cries, Percy’s expression remained cold.

Nina’s insistence on leaving stoked the fires of anger in Percy’s heart.

“I’ve already told you from the start that only I get to end this relationship. Don’t even think that you can get rid of me that easily!” Percy said while gripping Nina’s lower jaw. He did not offer to explain what he had been doing.

Nina pushed his hand away and stood up. “You still don’t know how to respect me, Percy Mallory. I’m not your slave, and we’ve never signed any contract. If I want to end this relationship, you have no reason to refuse!”

She had not consented to start the relationship. Now that she wanted to end it, he did not allow it either.

What was she to him? Did he want to keep her by his side until she was old and useless?

Nina did not understand. She did nothing wrong, yet Percy wanted to treat her that way.

“I don’t agree with it. If you insist on leaving, you’ll eventually return to me crawling on your knees.” Percy’s gaze had been warm when he first returned to the mansion, but now, it was ice-cold.

From Percy’s harsh words, Nina could guess that he must have known what happened to her family.

Jean and Anna had gotten into a lot of trouble over the years. Percy had been the one to bail them out when she had no solution to their problems.

“I won’t. Tonight will be the last time you’ll see me. You might not want me to leave, but you can’t hold me back either. Please, Percy, just let me go. It’ll be easier for the both of us if you just let go.” Nina closed her eyes, feeling exhausted by the conversation.

Percy became angrier when he heard again that Nina wanted to leave. He abruptly stood up.

He was a head taller than Nina. Nina took a step back.

There was no expression on Percy’s face, not even anger. That made it even more unnerving.

“What do you want?” Nina asked, a little afraid. She knew that Percy had a lot of blood on his hands. Was he going to kill her?

She knew that if Percy could not obtain something, he would rather destroy it.
