Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0181

When I arrived at the hospital, Claudia was lying in bed fiddling with her phone. She looked much healthier compared to Nicholas' pale complexion yesterday.

I straightened my posture and called out to her solemnly. "Claudia!"

She had been focused on her phone and immediately sat up in fright when she heard my voice. Feeling embarrassed, her cheeks turned red as she asked, "Ariana, why are you here?"

"I heard no one could find you yesterday." Then, she came to her senses and smiled at me mockingly. "Shouldn't you be hiding in your room with your windows tightly shut while you cry alone in your dark room?

She gave me a once-over and continued, "It seems like your skills in seducing Nick isn't that impressive after all. So many people have seen your body. You no longer have any right to stay by Nick's side!"

I looked down with a small smile on my lips. No one could contact me yesterday as I had turned my phone off to ensure I would get a good rest. Otherwise, I would not be able to sleep with my phone ringing constantly.

Unexpectedly, Claudia had assumed that I was scared and had gone into hiding. But no matter how scared I was, I wouldn't let her off so easily. I would step into the light and ensure she remained trapped in my shadow, giving her a true taste of darkness. "So, you're admitting that you were the one behind this, right?"
