Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Clinging helplessly to the leather seat, I realized Nicholas had known all along.

"I'm not getting out." I shook my head. "It's pointless, and I won't come back here ever again."

I stole a glance outside the car window, hastily putting an end to the chapter of the past few days that felt like a dream. I just wanted to remember and cherish the memory. When I turned around, Nicholas was no longer in the car. He slammed the door shut. As if he could teleport, he suddenly appeared next to me and yanked the door open. Looking sullen, he grabbed my wrist and I couldn't even resist. I staggered out of the car, and before I could even steady myself, he stormed forward.

I lost my balance and collapsed to the ground. As I felt a jolt of pain through my ankle, Nicholas stopped and peered down at me.

Beads of sweat trickled into my eyes as I tilted my head back, sending a stinging sensation throughout my body.

Barely exerting any effort, Nicholas yanked me up from the ground with one hand. He didn't pity me. He merely thought I was in his way. "Nicholas..."

I couldn't keep up with him. Every step I took felt like I was stepping on nails.
