As soon as those words left her mouth, the atmosphere instantly turned tense.
Nikola's jaw tightened, his fingers clenched so hard that his knuckles turned white.
Back then, even when he had nearly become a vegetable after the car accident, she had never abandoned him. She had risked hemorrhagic shock to donate 1000cc of blood for him and had cared for him for half a year until he fully recovered.
But now, did she want to call off the engagement?
Nikolai stared at her for a long moment before suddenly loosening his grip and curling his lips into a teasing smile.
"Sienna, stop making trouble. Without me, you’re nothing more than a pawn the Moretti family can use in an arranged marriage at any moment. There’s no way you’d really give up this engagement."
What sounded like a joke pierced deeply into the softest part of Sienna's heart like a needle. He knew exactly where her weakness lay.
That was why he kept deceiving her and hurting her again and again. Because he was certain that even if she learned the truth, she would never leave him.
Emotions surged violently within Sienna, and she let out a self-mocking laugh.
"What if I insist on ending the engagement?"
At her words, Nikolai pressed his lips into a thin line. He grabbed her wrist and stared at her intensely.
"To marry you, I completed ninety-nine challenges. And now you think you can just cancel the engagement whenever you want? On what grounds?"
Sienna’s heart felt as though it had been soaked in bitter liquor, swollen with pain and sorrow.
He had climbed snowy mountains to gather medicine for her, knelt across burning coals, and even risked his life to protect her. Only after completing all ninety-nine challenges had he earned her mother’s approval as her future husband.
But those unforgettable memories now overlapped with the images of his betrayal, turning everything grotesque and unbearable.
A mocking smile rose on Sienna’s lips. "Nikolai, you don’t deserve me."
Nikolai stared at her for a long while before finally tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"Sienna, don’t forget something. I still have your private videos. A wealthy socialite shamelessly acting wild in the backseat of a car, desperately begging beneath a man… If those videos get leaked, who would ever dare marry you?"
Sienna’s heart twisted repeatedly like it was being carved apart by a dull blade. The pain made her entire body tremble.
She remembered their first time together. She had been so nervous that her face flushed bright red.
Nikolai had comforted her gently, coaxing her softly into recording those intimate videos, saying he wanted to keep them as memories for the future.
That night, he had been restrained yet passionate, changing positions over and over while treating her like a priceless treasure in the palm of his hand.
But now, he was using all of it as leverage to threaten her!
The pain nearly suffocated Sienna. Her lips trembled as tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks.
Nikolai watched her burning tears fall one after another.
Something stabbed sharply into his heart. His lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something. But in the next second, Lucie suddenly clutched her stomach, her face deathly pale.
"It hurts… My stomach hurts so much…"
Nikolai immediately shifted his attention away from Sienna and skillfully began rubbing Lucie’s lower abdomen.
His voice was filled with concern. "Does it still hurt?"
Lucie weakly pushed him away and bit her lip before speaking softly. "Your fiancée is angry. You should comfort her first. I… I can still endure it for a little while."
Her small face was pale, beads of sweat clinging to her forehead while strands of messy hair stuck to her skin, as though she might collapse at any moment.
Nikolai frowned and looked toward Sienna, his expression gradually turning cold.
"Lucie isn’t feeling well, and she’s pregnant. I don’t have time to keep indulging your tantrums. If you insist on refusing this arranged marriage, then don’t blame me for disregarding our past and releasing those videos to the media. Let everyone see exactly how shameless and seductive you were.
"You can either remain the luxurious Mrs. Lennox or become a disgraced woman with your reputation destroyed. The choice is yours."
After saying that, he carried Lucie in his arms and left without looking back.
Sienna felt cold to her very bones, as though she had fallen into an icy abyss. Her final shred of hope had been completely destroyed.
But she could not give up!
She would find those private videos, destroy them, break off the engagement completely, and leave him forever.
After returning to the villa, Sienna searched every corner of the house. Finally, she found the flash drive hidden inside the study.
Suppressing her disgust, she deleted every single video before decisively contacting a lawyer to prepare legal proceedings to terminate the engagement.
However, two hours later, Nikolai burst furiously into the bedroom and pinned her against the wall.
"Sienna, where did you hide Lucie? She’s pregnant. She can’t handle any stress right now. If you’re angry, take it out on me instead!"
Sienna looked at him calmly and replied expressionlessly, "It has nothing to do with me." The moment she finished speaking, her phone rang.
A cheerful voice came through the call. "Miss Moretti, everything you requested has been taken care of! That vixen is heavily pregnant, so I specially hired the filthiest homeless men I could find to deal with her. Once we record the videos, Mr. Lennox won’t dare threaten you with those recordings anymore!"
Nikolai’s pupils contracted violently in disbelief.
