The Key To The Heart Chapter 53
Dianna just shook her head and changed the subject completely so that neither of them would feel any more awkward. She hoped that by now, Nicholas had already chosen her, and therefore, kisses between them wouldn't be a problem. However, she wouldn't press the issue because the last thing she wanted was to have a disagreement with him just before the decision, giving him a reason to find her pushy, inconvenient, or overly confident.Dianna Cooper wasn't in love with Nicholas Pierce, but she very much wanted to be chosen. Not because her parents had always encouraged her to marry a wealthy and influential man, but for her own reasons, unrelated to his bank account. First and foremost, there was her vanity and competitiveness. She didn't want to see Maya come out on top. Secondly, there was her secret desire to move out of the Cooper household as soon as possible, which could only happen throug
The Key To The Heart Chapter 54
The two of them ended up at a corner table in a not-so-fancy restaurant. Neil had always been a guy with simple tastes, and Nicholas had continued to maintain simple habits even after becoming a millionaire. The corner had been chosen because both of them were in the spotlight, but they didn't want to deal with people asking for photos and autographs at that moment. They just wanted to know more about each other's lives, chat about nonsense, and eat and drink in peace."Have you seen your sister?" Nicholas suddenly asked, after they had been talking for almost two hours about their lives and reminiscing about some funny things from their youth, without mentioning her name once. They were paying the bill because both had commitments, and Nicholas had already received several messages from his assistants because he was running late for the next meeting.

"That's because he has no idea what you saw," he said quietly, almost afraid of what he had to reveal. He would never have told this if they hadn't met again, if it wasn't relevant. There was a great chance that his sister wouldn't understand his previous choice to remain silent, so he was anxious and hesitant. However, her reaction showed that she still loved Nicholas and that the whole story still affected her deeply. That's why he had to sacrifice himself for the sake of the truth and, who knows, even for his sister's happiness and his best friend, whom he had ever had. "What do you mean?" she asked, confused. "He doesn't know what you saw because our mother went to the registry office and told all of us that you didn't want to get married anymore... that you had de
The Key To The Heart Chapter 56
Nicholas was in the living room of his apartment, reading the script of an action movie that a director friend had proposed for GHShow to produce. He had convinced John that he didn't need to spend the whole night at the mansion where his TV show was filmed, and now he was enjoying the solitude he was about to lose.There was a part of him that found this good, of course. After all, he had created the show because he wasn't truly satisfied with not having someone to share his life with, to come home to at night, to have conversations with, and to learn about their day and share his own. Another part, however, had doubts about whether it would really be a good idea to have a woman waiting for him, eager to hear about his day and share hers, when that woman wouldn't be the one he truly wanted to tell about all his joys, fears, expectations, successes, and anxieties, and whose routine he would l

"I needed to see you," she interrupted, taking a deep breath and fighting back the lump in her throat. "I need to tell you so many things! I need you to know that..." she couldn't finish the sentence as she broke down into sobs again, and he got up, deciding she needed something to help calm her."Where are you going? Stay here. Stay close to me, Nicholas. Please, stay close to me!" she said, a little more desperate than she would have liked, reacting to the torrent of emotions building up inside her with each passing minute since her brother's revelations."Calm down," he said, sitting back down and wiping her tears away with his thumbs gently. "Calm down, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere," he gave a little smile, and she managed a very timid one in return. "I just think you need something to help you calm down so you can tell me al

"I know I should have trusted you, Nicholas. I know!" Sophie suddenly said, pulling Nicholas out of his musings and making him stop pacing like a madman. "I was stupid, naive, impulsive... and I understand if you never forgive me for the suffering you went through. But I needed... I really NEEDED you to know that I loved you. That I didn't trade you for anything, that I... would never trade you.""Soph..." he approached, getting very close to her and taking her small hands in his. "You were eighteen... and, as you said, you SAW. I think if I saw you in bed with another guy, completely naked, I wouldn't wait for explanations either. And if you tried to explain, denied what I SAW... I probably wouldn't believe you," he wiped her tears away again with his fingers. "I don't even have to forgive you!" he shrugged, and she started crying uncontrollably again, throwing herself into his arms.
The Key To The Heart Chapter 59
Their lips sought each other and greeted several times until their tongues also had their long-awaited encounter. Nicholas pulled Sophie's body so she was completely on top of him, and while keeping one hand firmly on the nape of her neck, he caressed the part of her back that the dress didn't cover with the other. She lightly ran her nails through his scalp and neck, already wanting to intensify the contact between them.As the initially calm, slow kisses gave way to more eager and rapid ones, and their hands couldn't stay in one place anymore, wandering and exploring their bodies, their breathing became more frantic. Sophie pulled away for a moment, kneeling between Nicholas's legs. She removed her dress, leaving her in just a small pair of panties, while Nicholas, enjoying the sight of her, quickly discarded his shirt.She pushed
The Key To The Heart Chapter 60
Sophie took her breakfast calmly, stopped by her own home, and went to work, acting as if it were any other day. She left her phone in a drawer, the same phone number Nicholas had since their first meeting, to avoid constantly checking it, hoping for his call. If someone needed to contact her about work, they would call her office. She didn't want to nurture hope even when she received flowers with a card that said, "I love you forever," because that phrase could mean a fond farewell, or it could simply mean he would love her from afar until the end of his days.Nicholas, on the other hand, spent a good part of the day anxious because Sophie wasn't answering his calls. He didn't want to call the magazine's office, as he imagined she might not appreciate interference in her personal life at work, but he couldn't understand why, after the previous night, she might not want to talk to him.
