Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1166

Trey was obviously lying.

When Khloe had issued him an ultimatum, he had chosen his family without hesitation. His family was clearly not insignificant to him.

Yet now, when Ariana asked him the same question, he didn't show the slightest trace of conflict.

If Trey had honestly told her that his family mattered more—or that he simply couldn't choose—Ariana might have thought there was still hope for them.

But in order to please her, he would stop at nothing. Lying came as naturally as breathing.

Ethan's words echoed in her ears once more.

Back then, had Trey deceived Khloe the same way?

Khloe had endured far more than she had. She must have suffered even more deeply.

"Ariana, why are you looking at me like that...? Do you not believe me? I swear to God, I—"

"There's no need. Of course, I believe you."

Lowering her head, Ariana interrupted him softly.

"Ariana..."

Trey wrapped his arms around her. This time, Ariana didn't resist.

His breath brushed against her neck.

"If I weren't worried about how exhausted you are, I'd really want you right now..."

In a low voice, Ariana said, "I've already heard about what's been happening at Olympus recently. What are you planning to do now? Are you going to lower your head and admit defeat to Khloe?"

"Of course not!"

The moment she asked, the anxiety hanging over Trey's heart finally eased. He immediately turned her face toward him, excitement filling his eyes.

"Now that you're back, I've got nothing to be afraid of. Khloe thinks she can control me, and the Hunt Group thinks they can take down Olympus. They're delusional. From today on, husband and wife, side by side—we're going to make them pay."

"Husband and wife?"

Ariana looked up.

"Yeah. Let's get married—make it official. I know it's not fair to you, but I don't want to lose you again. I don't want to spend every day terrified that someone's going to come between us."
