Chapter 66\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick\u2019s words reached Khloe\u2019s ears, and she murmured a reply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick thought of how she had been pressed close against his chest just moments ago. His voice dropped, low and controlled, \u201cYou\u2019re not asleep?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026 I was so tired earlier I could barely keep my eyes open\u2026 but I knew, Mr. Hunt, that you were here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe tilted her head back, eyes still heavy and barely open, a faint smile tugging at her lips. \u201cI don\u2019t know how you got here, but with you\u2026 I don\u2019t think anyone could dare hurt me now\u2026 I just want to rest a bit\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The alcohol muddled her thoughts. She spoke without coherence, saying whatever came to mind, but the meaning was clear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Something stirred in Nick. She trusted him-truly trusted him. And the word \u201churt\u201d lingered in his mind, filling him with a flicker of guilt. \u201cSorry, I\u2019m late.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot late\u2026 just in time.\u201d Khloe pressed her dry lips together, voice thick with haze. \u201cI finished everything\u2026 now I can rest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRest here, with me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMhm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He asked casually, and she murmured her assent, her voice soft and unsteady. A smile threatened his lips. He had seen her twice before, she had seemed serious and composed, yet here she was-loose, disheveled, yet somehow endearing. The drunk, unfocused look on her face wasn\u2019t unpleasant at all; if anything, it was oddly charming.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, his phone buzzed. Lenny had sent him a video.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He glanced at Khloe, curled in the corner of the seat, slipping gradually into a heap. Unsure if she was asleep, he slipped on his headphones and watched.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The footage made his expression darken instantly. The men in the private room had been far worse than he imagined forcing drinks, harassing her, leering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He took off the headphones and sent Lenny two words: [Handle them.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He set the phone aside, his voice low and firm as he spoke her name again. After a long moment, she murmured a faint \u201cMm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stirred, perhaps understanding, but didn\u2019t move, mumbling incoherently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you tell me the Morrison family were bullying you?\u201d he asked coldly. Even though he knew she was barely processing anything, likely unable to fully hear him, he pressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She murmured another soft \u201cMm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t want to be hurt, don\u2019t pretend you can handle everything alone. Isn\u2019t it that simple-to let someone help you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He thought of how she was an orphan, how she had always relied only on herself. That independence, that relentless self-reliance, made her different. No one else could ever be completely selfless, could ever give so\u00a0<\/p>\n

much and ask for nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the journey back, Khloe finally drifted into sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick brought her back to his estate, having the staff prepare a room in advance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two maids assisted her with washing and changing, ensuring she was comfortable. Only when she was safely asleep did he retreat to his study and wait for Lenny.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything handled?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, sir.\u201d Lenny said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick nodded, letting his thoughts linger a moment. \u201cHow much funding did Khloe secure?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout 15 million,\u201d Lenny replied.<\/p>\n
