Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Nicholas scowled at Claudia. "Get out!"

Tears streamed down her face. How could a doll like her shed tears?

I got up in silence and headed out, leaving some personal space for the siblings. It must've pained Nicholas to see his sister cry, and I didn't want to see him coax her.

And here I was, thinking about how there was no going back for us. But in the next instant, it felt like I had returned to the beginning.

The same pampered sister, the same doting brother-even the scene remained the same.

As I brushed past Claudia, she grabbed my arm and hollered, "I'm talking to you, Ariana! Why did you come back? You've already divorced my brother. How dare you be so shameless and sleep with him?"

I wasn't sure if she had stopped pretending or if she believed that Nicholas wouldn't mind her true colors, but she didn't even bother to put up a pretense now.

I stared at her for a few seconds, and my gaze fell on her hand gripping my arm.

"W-What are you looking at?" Seemingly diffident, she continued, "I wasn't wrong! Nick is going to be with Jasmine. You're a homewrecker!"

I shoved her away. One wouldn't even feel cold walking on the carpet by the bed, and falling on it wouldn't hurt as well.
