Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1027

Khloe shook her head fiercely, repeating only one word, "No."

Nick did not rush her. He simply stayed with her, waiting for her emotions to settle.

Soon, it was time to board.

He tried to take her with him by force, but she refused to stand.

"Come on," he said softly. "Lacuna has already targeted you. It's dangerous to stay here."

"You said you'll never forgive anyone who hurts me. Find them now!"

"I will. But right now, you and the baby—"

"If they're really that dangerous, then even if we manage to escape today, we might not escape tomorrow. When you're gone, I'll just wait for them to come after me, to kill me!"

For the first time, she argued back with him—truly losing her temper, her face flushed with emotion.

But her words struck right at his weakest point.

When he was gone… if she encountered danger again, or made any reckless decision again, he would no longer be able to stop her. And worse—what was pushing her into despair and fury right now… was him.

Seeing him fall silent, a flicker of hurt crossing his face, Khloe felt the sting as well. But this time, she did not step down. She turned and walked away.

The bodyguards and assistants moved to stop her instinctively, but Nick raised a hand, signaling them not to.

She left the VIP terminal alone, with assistants and bodyguards quickly following behind to escort her into the car first.

Nick followed shortly after.

The car turned around and headed straight back from the airport to their residence.

Inside the vehicle, the atmosphere was suffocatingly tense. Nick and Khloe each sat on one side, staring out of opposite windows, neither willing to speak first.

The air around them was cold and heavy, as if it could suffocate anyone in between.

Without avoiding him, Khloe made two phone calls—one to Charlotte, and one to Lucas.
