Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0142

I couldn't sleep that night. At 3:00 am, I was scrolling through my phone when I saw a post on Claudia's social media

e had sent a response with a photo of Nicholas sleeping peacefully beside her.

His eyes were closed, his face relaxed and calm, a stark contrast to the tense confrontation we had earlier. He looked as handsome as a serene painting.

The corner of Claudia's cartoon pajamas was visible near his shoulder. Though they were both fully clothed, they were sleeping together.

My 22-year-old stepsister and her 29-year-old brother were lying side by side... She had even captioned the photo, saying, 'I'll always be by Nick's side!"

I smiled helplessly, feeling as if every cell in my body had been drained. I lay weakly on the hard bed in the guest room like a corpse that had been dead for a while. My heart was barely beating.

Ever since that night, Nicholas and I hadn't had any interactions. There were no arguments. We had a tacit understanding, a silent agreement. We simply stopped talking to each other.

For the next few days, I would wake up in the morning to find that he had already left for work.
