Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0522

My body felt like a boneless rag doll as Nicholas turned me over in his arms, inspecting me thoroughly. Then, as if I were trash, he dropped me beside him without a second thought.

He let out a heavy sigh, pressing his trembling hand against his brow. He shot me a sidelong glance, muttering under his breath, "Damn it."

A headache started throbbing in my temples, and I couldn't tell if it was from his words or the effects of the drug kicking in. But it was clear that Nicholas was far angrier than I was, his voice seething with frustration.

"Ariana, can you go one day without causing trouble? I was at the airport when I found out you had come here on your own. Did you even think about what would happen if I couldn't make it back in time?"

Pete was leaving the country today. He had gone to the airport to personally ask him some pressing questions. As soon as he had arrived, he overheard Douglas on a call with Pete.

Even the people around me knew to reach out to Pete when I was in trouble. How could he not be furious? Pete had even remarked casually, 'Because when she was in danger before, I was the one there with her."

Nicholas was almost at his breaking point, rushing back with all his might. He felt like he wanted to tear off my pants and give me a good beating, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He truly didn't know what to do.
