Chapter 180 - Nicholas... An Animal

Ch-179 

"From tomorrow, you will stop working here. And will hand over your work to Michelle by the end of the day." So… he should leave after the office hours today itself and would never be able to set his foot here again. He felt a sharp sword slicing his heart mercilessly. This was the end of his love life and the life where he protected his future Sister-in-law and the Queen of Basilisk. 

"As for Michelle, I don't know what you will do. Don't you dare to think she was a pushover! I will chop your balls if you do! She is my person. I will protect her!" When he heard the last line, he felt another sword stabbed into his heart. He will agree if he was not her loyal person because he was a loyal person to his brother. And yeah… he betrayed her by sending her information to his brother. But he was not that sick bastard who could hurt his lover. Did he look like that? He wanted to have a good life and wants to live with her for eternity. He wanted to continue the rest of his life journey with her. It's just that it would be complicated. Since things turned out like he should be straightforward rather than being sneaky. 

"Sister-in-law, since… It's like this. I won't mind if you remove me from my post. But it's not fair to meddle in the affairs of me and Michelle. Her heart thinks she is free to choose by herself, you don't need to give your advice to her," he said. 

He can work under his brother or help his brother. But it doesn't mean he would give up on his love just because of accusations. He has to make it clear, if not he would be the one who suffers the most. Nicholas lost his love once, again he wasn't ready to lose. He didn't know her real identity at that time, but he got to know her name was Uma, was an assistant cum maid for Raudra Muki. But he got to know these things after she died. He cried like a madman in front of her dead body, but he couldn't do anything. He just hid his sadness in his heart and moved on. After Uma… no one moved his heart. Once in a while, he had flings. He used them for one-night stands and paid them with a stash of money. But when he saw Michelle, something stirred in his heart. She has a magnet in her body that could only attract him. Every time she was in his proximity, he felt like someone was beating his heart with a hammer making him feel restless. She woke up the desires in him that were buried in him a long ago. Slowly, she won his heart. She occupied his heart and made a royal throne claiming that his heart belonged to her, Michelle. 

Just because he was the spy of Cyrus, it doesn't take away his right to love Michelle. He would fight for it with his life. He won't repeat the same mistakes. 

But looks like his brother would have a hard life. Looks like history was repeating in his life. He tried to escape the calamity but it came haunting Cyrus again. But… Nicholas couldn't understand that even though she managed to change her fate from that monster could she change it again and again? Could she be lucky all the while? He came out of thoughts when he heard her words again. 

"I never said you should break up or something like that. I said… She is not a pushover. You had so many flings. She is not one of them! And I won't let her be treated like one. If you want her, do things properly. She deserves the best things. You already took one of her precious things like an animal when she was not in her right state of mind. If you love her, do things properly. Do you think she was avoiding you for fun? Or do you think she was playing the hard-to-get kind? Nope! Why would she accept you in the first place? What did you do to her, to gain her love? Did you ever give her the confidence that you would be there for them when she needed it? What did she do to deserve this kind of thing? She was always bullied in school and was molested when she was not in the right senses….. And don't say, she asked for it! Everyone would ask that if they were drugged! You are not a human! So you could endure! But she is a common person! How could you do this to her!? You could use your powers to calm her down and get her treated!? But what did you do? You did things differently! Think and tell me, are you worthy of her?" Esther said as she slammed the table loudly. If she had used a bit more strength the glass on the coffee table would have been broken. 

Nicholas never thought things would be like this. He never thought of insecurities in Michelle's heart. Now… When Esther pointed them out one by one, he realized he was indeed a jerk. No wonder, she was giving him a cold shoulder. He should do things in the right way. Doing things in the wrong way would only lead to the doom of the things. From the start, he was doing things the way he wanted.  He was forcing him on herself. Even on Monday, When he went to look for her, he just had his way with her that night in her apartment. 

Indeed, he was an unreliable bastard. He gave a self-deprecating laugh to himself. Nicholas realized she was flinching away from him as he forced himself on her like an animal not even caring that she might be still sore from their Sunday night's deed. He was in a hurry to mark her as his but never gave a damn whether she liked him or not.
