Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

We were both tainted... Nicholas said that we were both tainted. But in his eyes, just how filthy did he think I was? If I were so filthy, who was the man holding me so tightly right now?

Anger surged through me, my whole body trembling as I struggled against him. How could he pin all his mistakes on me?

"Even if we had divorced, how could you move on so quickly? Do you even care about me? If you loved me, I don't believe you could've forgotten me so easily!"
