Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0073

Nicholas' pupils darkened, and his body trembled. He looked past the men around him and watched me from across the detention room.

I saw his hand slowly clench into fists by his sides as if he had heard something unbelievable. He stared at me in a daze as if he didn't know me.

I looked at him with a smile, tears glistening at the corners of my eyes, and shouted, "Nicholas Hawk, I hate you!"

I was pushed back and forth until my body was numb. My mind started filling with memories of the insignificant moments between us.

I used to love acting coy with him, rubbing against him like a kitten. I would cling to him and call him Honey". I would blush and ask him to kiss me, love me, and make love with me.

I loved him and was willing to give him my all. Tears streamed down my face.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and strode toward me. He kicked away the bodyguard closest to me and demanded, "What are you guys doing? Why is she in pain?"

The other bodyguards stepped aside, creating an unobstructed path. Even Claudia instinctively stepped back. There were ten steps between us. He didn't come closer, though he looked down at me with pity. "Ariana, I'm giving you this one chance. If you don't want to sign it now, we won't ever get a divorce." My eyes traced up from his spotless shoes, finally meeting his eyes after a few seconds. "Do you mean you don't want to get a divorce?"

I pulled the paper I hadn't had a chance to swallow out from my mouth and spread it out in front of Nicholas. It was stained with blood.

"Did you just say you don't want to get a divorce?" I chuckled and questioned. "If you don't want to get a divorce, why did you have them cut my hand?"
