Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1104

"From the very beginning, we agreed this was a marriage of convenience—each taking what we needed. I thought you'd be like me, rational when it came to feelings."

This time, Khloe didn't look away. She held Nick's gaze steadily.

A faint smile still lingered on his lips. The hand cupping her cheek loosened slightly, his thumb brushing her skin in an unconscious caress, though his voice had grown even hoarser.

"If being cold and heartless is what you call rational, then I suppose I'm not."

"Nick, I don't want to waste any more time with you…" Khloe paused for a few seconds before finally averting her eyes. Something dark flickered beneath them, as if a thought had crossed her mind, and her voice turned even colder.

"I believe your family will be sensible enough not to cling to the mother of a child."

Her words struck deep. Nick's grip tightened abruptly. "You're planning to let Grandma and the others know about this?"

"Sooner or later, everyone will know. Of course, I still hope we can resolve this peacefully between ourselves. There's no need to make it bigger than it has to be."

There was no room for negotiation in her tone.

"You're the one who chose to give your heart, and now you're the one who wants to take it all back as if nothing matters. Khloe… I really can't understand you anymore."

"That's right. You've never truly understood me. This is who I am. Did you really think someone like me—without parents, betrayed time and again—would depend on love that much? If anything, it's you. As the head of the Hunt family and the CEO of Hunt Group, you should value profit over feelings. If you're willing to sit down and talk, then the divorce settlement—"

Before she could finish, Nick cut her off by crushing his lips against hers.

The kiss came fierce and unrestrained, stripped of all the gentleness it once held. It was wild, almost punishing, as though he wanted to turn all his anger into something that could steal her breath away.

Khloe froze for a moment before struggling immediately.

Even weakened, Nick was still far stronger than her. Against the difference in strength between them, she had no choice but to endure.

But after only a short while, his strength began to falter.

Her resistance was too intense—he softened.

Khloe didn't hesitate. Seizing the moment, she shoved him away and struck him across the face.
