Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0575

Earlier, when the maids had crowded outside my door, I hadn't even noticed that Nicholas had somehow left his

room.

Tabitha's room was arranged right next to his, so it was no surprise he had overheard every word I said. But it didn't matter at all. I couldn't stand even looking at him now.

With so many people around, I had no intention of engaging in pointless arguments. Lowering my gaze, I turned to open the door and go back inside.

Just as my hand touched the handle, a strong grip landed on my shoulder.

The maids, startled by Nicholas storming over, quickly scattered out of sight.

I turned around, smacking his hand off my shoulder with all the strength I could muster. My palm burned with pain, and the fiery red mark on the back of his hand made it clear that he hadn't escaped unscathed either.
