Upon hearing the voice, Nina's face jolted with surprise, nearly stumbling.

With her balance faltering, her body leaned towards him. Nash felt her body tilting and reached out to steady her by the waist. The scorching warmth instantly reminded her of the scene from last night when he ravaged her recklessly.

Nina composed herself, lifting her head to meet his deep gaze. His eyes were too serious, containing both questioning and doubt, as if trying to see through her with just one look. Nina's heart raced rapidly. She dared not hold his gaze for another second, instinctively lowering her head.

When he assumed it was the woman from earlier, he flew into a rage. If he were to discover it was her, her fate wouldn't be any better. Yet, she couldn't accept it. If Nash knew it was her, could their marriage last a little longer?

She dared not meet his eyes. "Why would you ask such a thing?" Only she knew she was hoping for it.

However, Nash chuckled lightly. "You don't have the courage."

Nina's hand stiffened, and she lowered her eyelids. Nash secretly hoped it wasn't her after all. After all, their marriage was just a contractual one. Moreover, the agreement would expire in a few days. Suddenly, Nash firmly grasped her hand. Her heart skipped a beat, and she raised her gaze to meet his, finding his gaze cold and intense, filled with strong scrutiny.

She struggled to pull her hand back, but in the next moment, Nash pressed her entire body against the floor-length mirror.

"What are you doing?"

Nina forced herself to remain composed, but her trembling voice betrayed her fear and nervousness.

"Did you really fall asleep in the office?"

Nina looked into his eyes, as black as ink. Was he suspecting her? Suddenly, she remembered their wedding night three years ago. She thought he had married her willingly, reaching out to him, but before she could touch his hand, he stood up with a cold expression on his face.

He said, "Nina, I married you only to fulfill my grandfather's last wish. Three years later, we'll go our separate ways. So don't ever touch me. Otherwise, you should know what I'm capable of."

He wouldn't let her touch him, only to keep himself pure for his beloved. With his love for Mira, he would kill her for touching him!
