Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 423 "You... came to see Nick?" Loretta's eyes widened in surprise. She blurted out, "Isn't he with you?" "He... hasn't come home?" Khloe's heart skipped a beat as the thought hit her. "Did something happen between you two?" Loretta's voice wavered with worry, just starting to tense up-until Khloe quickly smiled. "Oh, maybe I misunderstood. He went to the company earlier today, and I just assumed that since he hadn't come home, he must have come here..." She pulled out her phone, glancing at it as if she had just seen a message. "Ah, he's already gone back.

Sorry, Grandma." "Really?" Loretta sounded half convinced, half uncertain. But Khloe, finishing her explanation, hurried off before Loretta could ask any more questions. As soon as Khloe left, Loretta immediately called Nick. Yet strangely, no one answered. Once Khloe left the manor, she immediately dialed Nick. Every bit of irritation she had felt was now replaced with worry for him. He didn't pick up. She called Lenny instead, and this time the line connected quickly. "Where's Nick?" Lenny hesitated, clearly caught off guard by her directness, fumbling for words. Khloe's tone sharpened.

"Lenny, I can't get through to him. If anything happens to him, are you going to take responsibility?" The pressure was too much, and even Lenny, diligent as he was, could not resist. Eventually, he relented and told her everything. Half an hour later, Khloe sped to Nick's apartment, her heart hammering the entire way-equal parts anxiety and anger. She stepped out of the elevator and froze. A familiar figure blocked her path. "Nick." She instinctively called his name, but the words she had rehearsed caught in her throat when she saw who stood before her. It wasn't Nick. It was...

Michelle, Michelle wore only a thin knit dress. Her long hair fell loosely over her shoulders, and her face, without makeup, looked even softer and more delicate than usual. "Khloe, are you here for Nick?" 1/3 Chapter 423 +25 Bonus She wasn't surprised. Her gaze was calm but firm as she looked at Khloe. "Why... are you here?" Khloe frowned. She tried to make sense of it. Wasn't Michelle supposed to be in Felanche? Before Michelle could answer, heat surged through Khloe's veins. She tried to rush past the elevator doors toward Nick, but Michelle grabbed her arm.

"Khloe, why are you forcing yourself? If you can't accept him, let go. Do you want Nick's injuries to pile up even more before you finally give up?" The words lit a fuse in Khloe. She tore her arm free and raised her hand to strike. But Michelle didn't flinch. She tilted her face upward, almost daring Khloe to hit her, as if waiting to prove her point. She had struck Khloe's deepest pain, shattering the fragile trust Khloe had in Nick. A relationship teetered on the edge of collapse, and it began in that moment. Yet, the anticipated blow never came.

Michelle opened her eyes to see Khloe's hand hovering mid-air for a long beat before she slowly clenched and released it. Rationality returned at the last moment. Khloe snorted, a disdainful smile on her lips. "You want me to hit you just to prove you exist. Too bad, I'm not like you. I won't cling to a relationship that's already rotten. I feel sorry for you." Comments Support Share Cedella Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
