Love Unbreakable

Nicole listened intently to Jarrod's accusations.

Stomach ulcer? Bastard? Kieran's sudden involvement? It all seemed like a well-crafted trap set to entangle her.

She wondered why she warranted such elaborate schemes from others.

Even without these accusations, Jarrod's treatment of her was harsh enough.

What was there to gain in all of this? Keeping her composure, Nicole replied, “Jarrod, did Jamie feed you this story? Stomach ulcer, an illegitimate child, Kieran's involvement.

It seemed she went to great lengths to weave such a complex story." "Shut up!" Jarrod's eyes blazed with fury.

"You have no right to talk about Jamie that way! She's nothing like you!" In Jarrod's mind, Jamie had flaws, but not to the extent of orchestrating such a scheme.

"Jarrod, a simple check can confirm whether I have stomach cancer.

As for the child..." Nicole paused, her heart heavy.

She had wanted to give birth to the baby to ease her parents' agony when she met her demise because of the cancer one day.

But if Jarrod knew, he would never let her keep it.

Jarrod’s gaze was icy as he cut her off, "Lost your words? You probably don’t even know who fathered the child.

Since you crave such a lifestyle, I'll grant you that wish!" Suddenly, he scooped her up effortlessly.

He was startled by her lightness.

She felt no heavier than a child, Nicole, unsure of his intentions, panicked.

"Jarrod, where are you taking me? Let me go! I've given up on my company.

You have no right to do this to me!" Undeterred, Jarrod carried her to his car and placed her inside.

"No right?” Jarrod’s laughter was cold as he tossed a stack of documents at Nicole's face.
