After straightening his clothes, he closed his eyes and pretended to take a nap. "I've fallen ill, yet you haven't shown this much concern." I looked at his worn-out face and felt exhausted. When I was still in love with him, I often fantasized about being a devoted, caring wife who would look after her sick husband-it was the ideal of a loving marriage.
My imagination had run wild back then. I'd heard that when a man was ill, his body temperature could rise all over, even in his private parts. I used to fantasize about his body in ways I couldn't admit out loud. However, I was more rational now. As his ex-wife, I should put those. thoughts behind me. I let out a soft sigh, lifted my hand to press the button above me, and told the driver, "Please pull over." Nicholas' eyes flew open, dark and menacing. "You've got no patience left for me!" It felt as if he was scrutinizing every aspect of our relationship with a fine- tooth comb, getting upset over every change from how things used to be.

"His family will cut him off entirely, reducing him to nothing more than a tool for an arranged marriage, while Marc takes over the Shelman family because he's the eldest son. He's got his sights set on you, Ariana. Do you think I'd let him succeed? "Now that his life is in your hands, you can get out of the car, but are you really going to force a man of his stature to marry into someone else's family?" Go abroad... and marry into someone else's family? I understood every single word he said, but the implications hitlike a ton of bricks. My brain felt like it was overloaded, and it took a moment for his words to sink in. I looked up at him and asked, "Are you threatening me?"
