Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0031

I had dreams of finding true love, but I also knew better than anyone else what a marriage alliance entailed. Love and loyalty were rare in our social circle.

I would've preferred it if he had just kissed Claudia in front of me and told me that he'd never loved me. I would've accepted that all my love for the past four years was unrequited.

She patted Nicholas on the shoulder excitedly. "Go, Nick, go! Let's go find Ariana!"

"You shouldn't be so disrespectful," Nicholas said without any heat whatsoever. With Claudia in his arms, he walked toward the house.
