Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 314

Chapter 314: Sinking in abyss
Nicolai knew that he needed to turn around on his feet and get the fuck out and away from this damned seductress.

The entire situation was turning too dangerous, too damn risky, and he was this close to losing control.

But his resolve was splintering as he looked at the woman holding on to the sleeve of his coat.

“Tell me,” Nicolai whispered. “If you let go of me now, we can resolve this matter in your way, princess. Nice, elegant and proper. But if you keep looking at me like that then I will resolve this problem, in my way.”

“Do you want to deal with this problematic situation my way, princess?”

She trembled against him. Fuck the world right the fuck off. She was fucking trembling against him. Or maybe it was the drug and alcohol in her system that was causing her to sway.

But Nicolai could no longer care about that, he had been living like a friar for months and forgive him, if he were to choose to believe that Ariana was trembling because of him.

For him.

That she was trembling like this because he had thrown her off her ‘I am holier and better than thou,’ pedestal.

Nicolai wanted to believe that Ariana was not as immune to his charm and presence as he thought.

That he was getting under her skin in the same way this damned woman had penetrated his.

She better be affected by him or else——

‘I will just chop rebellious Nico, the great. I will amputate him with my own hands and feed him to my dogs,’ Nicolai gritted his teeth when he thought about how he had been living a life of celibacy at his prime.

All of this was just because Nico, the Great, woke up one day and decided that he favoured only one woman.

Nicolai inhaled sharply as he pushed Ariana against the wall and pressed his body right onto hers. He tightened his muscles for the shove or push that might be coming in a few seconds.

But surprise, surprise ——

That did not happen.

He stepped back and looked at Ariana, who was rubbing the tips of her fingers against her palm harshly. Otherwise, she was not doing anything, she was looking at the ground, and her eyes were dead and blank.

What the ——

The light in her eyes was gone.

She was not even breathing.

Okay…?

Nicolai frowned, he had seen a lot of fucked up situations, given that his mother was sick for a very long time. But there was something about Ariana’s vacant eyes that made him spooked out.

Because it was just so fucking disturbing that Nicolai couldn’t help but step back.

Did he do something just now? But he did not even touch her in a way she did not like. Was it his words? However, he said those things all the time.

Ariana shook her head and gulped. She clutched the front of her dress and Nicolai did not know whether it was because the woman was drunk or drugged, but she swayed twice and almost fell.

It was Nicolai who stopped her as he hugged her just in time before Ariana fell to the ground. Her face was now pressed against his chest while she clung to him.

“I——I need to leave…” She pushed him away with her nose scrunched up in disgust.

“Sure thing, princess,” Nicolai rolled his eyes as he backed away from Ariana almost instantly. “Go ahead and leave because it is such a tragedy to be touched by me right? Should I arrange for someone to take you away, maybe that will help you with the disgust you might be feeling at the moment?”

“It will be a catastrophe if you were to breathe the same air as me, right Ariana Harlow?”

Nicolai then stepped aside and motioned for her to leave, “Be quick on your feet, or else my touch might get imprinted on your pristine skin, and you wouldn’t be able to wash it away.”

“Or I can ask Patrick to take you to a hotel first, you can take a bath to wash off my dirty touch.”

“What the hell is your problem, Nico,” Ariana called him by his name as she raised her head and glared at him.

Nicolai invaded her space and he pushed her back. He punched his hands on the side of her head and growled, “What the hell is your problem, Pallas?”

His chest grazed her bosom as he pressed her against the wall again. The two of them inhaled at the same time as soon as their bodies brushed against one another. “Why the fuck did you stay quiet when that preppy boy went for a kiss? But now that I am touching you—— you are reacting as if it is the end of the world.”

“Do I disgust you so much?” Nicolai stared down at the woman with a burning gaze which did not hide his fury. “If you find me disgusting then you might as well say it. Save your time and mine as well.”

Nicolai almost cursed himself for saying those words in the heat of the moment because he knew that Ariana was going to ask him to back the fuck off because she did, in fact, find him disgusting.

“It’s not you——it’s me who is disgusting,” she whispered and Nicolai almost missed what she said but with his senses that were trained from childhood, he caught what Ariana said.

“What the hell does that mean?” Nicolai questioned. How could Ariana with her pristine clean reputation and body that no man had touched ever be disgusting?

And even if she was —— there was no way he was better than her, right? The infamous playboy of the Lonest City who had changed more women than clothes.

Ariana didn’t seem to hear him as she went on and said, “As for Noah going in for a kiss… I didn’t feel anything when he tried to kiss me but——”

She caught herself in time not saying a word more, but Nicolai caught the slip of her tongue, and he found himself grinning.

Ariana did not feel anything when Noah went for the kiss, which was the reason she did not stop him. What did it mean? Doesn’t it mean that he made her feel something, which was why she was pushing him away?

Of course, he could be wrong, but Nicolai chose to believe that it was his presence that was throwing Ariana off her loop.
