Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0260

I kicked Nicholas' arm with my foot. His arm went limp and slid down to the ground as if it had no bones. He was having a fever, and his forehead was burning hot.

I slapped his cheek a few times, and he opened his eyes. His dark eyes were sharp, but they softened when he recognized me, looking at me as if he were in a dream.

Just as I was about to speak, he suddenly hugged me tightly and murmured, "If only time could stop at this moment forever."

Back when we were briefly close, I too had such unrealistic fantasies. At that time, I had in-laws who loved me, a mother who cared for me, and a man I cherished deeply. But now, I had nothing. "Nicholas, you're too selfish," I said while tilting my head slightly, my voice reaching his ear.

His fevered body seemed to cool a little, and he slowly let go of me. "Ariana, I didn't want to disturb you."

I stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "If this isn't disturbing, then what is? A proper ex should remain in the past, not frequently appear in my life."

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes were filled with hurt.

"Ex?" he said painfully., "Ariana, why are you always so rational? Compared to you, I feel like an insane fool!"

I figured he probably hated who he was now. I didn't like it, and neither did he. He was always a controlling man, once so confident in balancing the relationship between his stepsister and me. Now that he realized everything had slipped out of his control, how could he not be in pain?
