"I don't care what you say, this is love. What I feel for you is love." Nicholas snaps, grasping your hands tightly.

"You're just as much mine as I am yours- can't you see?" He needs you to understand. Nicholas needs you to realize that love can come in many different forms- love could make one happy and yet it could also hurt. But so what? He wanted it to hurt.

A servant shouldn't be refusing his marriage proposal, let alone the only person Nicholas has ever let this close to his heart. How could he give you up now, when he was this close to having you? He couldn't. He wouldn't.

Nicholas will never let you go.
