NovelOnlineI waited in our marital huntil night fell. I reached out, tracing the outline of the tall buildings and Nicholas. The night was as dark as ink, and the glass windows reflected my exhausted face. It felt like I already knew the outcome, yet I was reluctant to let go.
The clock's hands had just moved to midnight when my phone rang abruptly.
"Ariana, the police have surrounded the Coral Villa. If you want Nick to die, let them cin and arrest me!" It was a message, a blatant provocation from Claudia. I reached out and wiped the window frantically. I couldn't erase my frustration, only leaving a hand full of dust.

I got up and walked to the fish tank. I took out the tiny, stinking fish bodies and buried them in the garden soil of the villa.
I let out an ironic laugh. Letting Claudia go? I drove the trowel hard into the dirt. Counting this time, I couldn't even keep track of how many times I had let Claudia off for Nicholas.

"But I can't keep this from him any longer. It's against the rules." "I understand. If he hasn't requested a visit, leave it to me. I'll find a chance to inform him."
