Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 414 "Khloe...!" "Khloe-" Arista cried out loud, and Loretta staggered, terrified. Leon was the first to regain his composure. He scolded Nick, bewildered by his grandson's sudden, reckless behavior. But Nick's gaze remained distant, unfocused. He stared at everything in front of him, brow furrowed, as if lost in a chaotic fog. In an instant, the knife had cut through Khloe's palm. Blood trickled slowly down her delicate wrist, drop by drop, staining the floor. Yet Nick showed no sign of letting go. His grip didn't weaken, and the knife tip inched forward.

Gasping under the sharp intake of air from the onlookers, Khloe strained against his strength. The pain made her breaths ragged. "Nick... what's wrong with you?" She could feel it-he was almost not himself, acting as if his body moved without his mind. The Hunt family rushed forward to help. Seeing the severity of Khloe's injury and Nick's refusal to release the knife, they feared that forcibly intervening would only worsen things. They shouted, tried to reason, but it was as if no one could reach him-not Loretta, not Arista, not even Leon. "I'm fine," Khloe said calmly, her voice steady.

Her words were both for the family and for Nick. Nick's eyes shimmered, a sudden wave of emotion surfacing. His eyelashes flickered, yet the tense veins on his forehead remained taut. His whole body was coiled with effort, trembling with a restrained fury. "Nick... don't be afraid. I'm here. It's okay... really, it's okay..." Khloe felt a pang of worry. She didn't fully understand what had overtaken him, but the warmth and tenderness in her gaze spoke volumes-soft, forgiving, and full of care. Still, her strength was waning, and Nick's hand continued to press.

Blood had already soaked his shirt. Loretta could no longer watch. She motioned to the stunned George, urging him to intervene. Suddenly, Khloe spread her hand, letting the knife tip edge toward her own throat... "Nick!" In that last heartbeat, everyone's sweat ran cold. Yet, Khloe's gaze remained unwavering, calm as though she had never doubted he would hurt her. The knife fell to the floor. Nick seemed to snap back to reality. His palm trembled, exhausted, and his broad frame slowly, heavily collapsed. Everyone rushed forward. Khloe wrapped her arms around him.

1/2 Chapter 414 "K-Khloe?" +25 Bonus Nick's eyes were red, raw, almost bloodshot. His voice hoarse, he called her name. Only then did he notice the blood on the floor, on her hand-the hand she had raised at him. She... had cut herself? The moments replayed in his mind, crystal clear. Nick's face drained of color, his brow twitched, his heart stinging sharply. He... had relapsed! "It's okay, it's okay," Khloe murmured. She could tell he had been triggered, and without waiting for him to speak, she wrapped her body around him, shielding him. George wanted to step forward, but dared not.

His mouth twitched; he opened it, then let out a frustrated, "He's really insane! I wasn't wrong!" before storming out, slamming the door. But no one paid him attention. The maids rushed for the first-aid kit. Arista grabbed her phone to call their private doctor. Only Loretta understood Khloe's unspoken intention. She held Nick close, watching the frantic, flustered family struggle helplessly around them, and silently shook her head.
