Chapter 234

? ? ? ? ?

Nicole knelt before Jarrod, her body weak and pressed against his knee.

Jarrod deftly unbuckled his belt buckle with a silent click.

Nicole's face drained of color. I knew what he wanted me to do.

Outraged, she could not contain the words.

«Jarrod, isn't Jamie enough for you? Can't you wait to recover from your illness?

Jarrod chuckled.

«Isn't this what you deserve? I wouldn't treat Jamie like that. "I appreciate her."

His words stung, as if he belittled her and considered her a mere toy to be used by men.

Shame overcame Nicole, and she pressed her lip between her teeth until it turned red.

Jarrod, unfazed, cradled the back of her neck with his hand, his eyes intense. He spoke softly, but firmly.

"Whether your father ends up in jail will depend entirely on my state of mind."

He assumed that Nicole had lied to him again, and his anger grew.

He had almost forgotten the poison that hid beneath her beautiful appearance.

In her mind, Nicole considered men mere pawns to her plans. He hated himself for having fallen into their trap.

She was never sincere, always calculating and deceitful.

But he couldn't let her go, using the force to keep her close. He became convinced that it was his way of getting revenge, since she had played with his feelings. I wanted to make her suffer slowly.

Nicole shuddered and her eyelashes fluttered. She closed her eyes, refusing to show her tears.

Jarrod looked at her and coldly ordered, "Open your eyes!"

Reluctantly, Nicole opened her eyes, and the brightness in her eyes dimmed.

Jarrod grabbed her hair and pulled her head to look at her, a wicked smile on his lips.

«Take a good look at her. Who are you serving?

A sick blush colored Nicole's face as her hatred surfaced. It excited him even more, making his blood boil.

Jarrod assumed that Nicole had once played with his feelings and caused him pain. But here it was. Now she was at his mercy, causing him a sensation more exciting than sexual intercourse itself.

The effect on his mind and body brought Jarrod to the peak of exhilaration.

After their intimate moments, Jarrod nonchalantly cleaned himself with mineral water. He saw Nicole looking at the remaining water.

He deliberately drank it all, denying her the opportunity to clean herself.

«Feel blessed to be surrounded by my aromas. If you get horny, take my essences to comfort you.

Nicole felt sick, overwhelmed by his lingering scent.

Jarrod covered Nicole with his jacket, the smell of it causing him to grimace.

Reluctantly, he put it on to cover himself.

Jarrod helped Nicole into the car.

As they drove through the night, Nicole's heart sank.

«Where are we going? "I need to go home."

Jarrod's response pierced her: Let's get rid of the bastard inside you!

"No! You can't do this! Nicole screamed.

But Jarrod ignored her, making a call to organize everything.

They quickly reached their destination, stopping the car.

Jarrod remained calm, rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.

"It's better that you go alone."

Nicole was gripped by fear.

«Jarrod, you can't make me! "He is my son."

"Your son?" Jarrod's eyes darkened.

«I'm not going to force you.

Choose between the child and your father.

Choose? Nicole's face twisted in torment. He couldn't abandon either of them.

Struggling to stay calm, her voice shook: “Jarrod, please let me keep this baby. I have real cancer. My life is fading. I want my son to ease my parents' agony after my death. Please take me for tests and you will see that I am seriously ill. We can try different treatments and consult various doctors. Then you will see the truth.

Jarrod scoffed, his tone laden with disdain.

«I'm impressed. Your affection for this baby seems deep. "Even pretending you have cancer to keep it."

Nicole shook her head, her eyes brimming with honesty.

"No, it's not that, I haven't lied to you!"

“Do you know that man called Kieran?” Jarrod interrupted impatiently.

"Yes, but..."

Before she could finish, Jarrod coldly interjected, “Was he your ex-boyfriend?”

Nicole hesitated and then nodded.

"Yes, it was."

A satisfied smile crossed Jarrod's face.

“Get out of the car right now!”

He was determined not to be fooled by her again, he was not willing to make a fool of himself.

Desperately, Nicole clung to Jarrod's arm.

«Listen to me. There was nothing between me and Kieran. This child cannot be yours.

Jarrod's lips twisted into a disdainful smile.

«If it's not yours, then someone else's. In any case, he is an illegitimate child.

The idea of ​​an illegitimate child being born was unbearable to him, an insult to his dignity.

Just then, Alec had confirmed a disturbing truth.

That doctor had accepted money for a fake operation, linked to the Lawrence Group.

Nicole's parents had confirmed that Nicole had only told them that she was suffering from a simple stomach ulcer.

Kieran, in fact Nicole's ex-boyfriend, was often seen near Nicole's house.

All the evidence seemed to point to Nicole's infidelity, defying her desperate claims of innocence.

However, Nicole's voice carried an unwavering sincerity.

«I have not lied to you, nor have I lied about my illness. What am I going to gain by lying to you that I am at death's door?

Jarrod's expression changed subtly at the mention of death, a hint of discomfort marking his features.

A fracture appeared in the frigid exterior of his heart.

The images of Nicole's death haunted him: intense headaches, chilling sweat, a fear he couldn't explain.

But he quickly dismissed those thoughts. I didn't think I was going to die so easily. How could it be possible?

Grabbing Nicole's neck in rage, Jarrod issued a harsh warning: "Remember, you need my permission to die. Otherwise, I will make sure your entire family joins you.”

Pain pierced Nicole's heart.

She knew that even after his death, he would not forgive his family.

What humanity was left when one was denied even the right to die?

She felt reduced to a mere puppet, a hollow being.

Gathering her courage, Nicole choked out each word: What if I say the child is yours?
