Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0289

I couldn't let Nicholas know that I got hurt. The last thing I wanted v for him to be informed of my situation. Otherwise, he would patronize.. by saying nonsense like, "I knew it'd end up this way." "If you don't want to talk, then don't. Do you think I care to listen?"

As Nicholas lost interest, his grip around my ankle was no longer seductive. Instead, it was replaced by sheer pain. But physical pain was easier to bear than heartache.

He was always like this. Saying vague things to make me soften up, yet resorting to force when that didn't work. But no matter what he did, were his actions genuine at all?
