Chapter 86: Bondage marriage.
Arissa was all flustered with his very close appearance but she tried to be calm and in control so she would not add up to his huge ego. Her heart pounded on her ribcage and she turned breathless when his face leaned in to take a clear view of her arm.
Arissa pulled her eyes away before they would bleed as she began to question her sanity.
Nicklaus raised his face to her and stared into her eyes. Arissa’s lips parted in response as she gulped not knowing the reason she was feeling this way.
"You were mingling with your father’s crimes," Nicklaus stated holding her gaze.
Arissa’s heart skipped a beat as she came back to reality with his words. She frowned at him and her eyes went back to his hand on her arm and back to his face. She was logically telling him to take his hand off her but Nicklaus was too overbearing to take orders from her.
Arissa also did not clarify his logic. From the way he remarked his thought, he sounded so sure and it irked Arissa that he was prying on her privacy.
Seeing her discomfort to talk about the topic, he changed it, "My doctor would be here soon," Nicklaus informed her and he shifted closer to her. Arissa shifted back, staring daggers at him, and highly irritated, she twat his hand off her shoulder.
Covering her shoulder with the shirt, she eyed him, "You don’t have to do that. I also have a doctor," she rejected his help, pointing out the fact that she doesn’t need his help.
It was late last night and that was why she came back straight home to avoid suspicions from night patrols - so, to hell with his help.
Nicklaus’s eyes turned hazy with rage as her statement made him remember that scumbag that had the audacity of confessing love to his wife before him.
Pushing the thought of her doctor aside since he does not want them to start arguing about that, he asked, "How did this happen?" picking up that topic again.
