Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0582

Nicholas seemned drained as if all his strength had been sucked out of him. I gave a light push, and it was effortless to slip out of his embrace.

As I reached the door, I glanced back at him. He was staring at the scattered paper on the floor, not even noticing the paper bits that had fallen on his head.

A wave of sadness washed over me, an emotion I couldn't hide. The helplessness I once felt now seemed like a painful memory, the kind that felt like a suffocating force that destroyed everything in its path.

I understood that feeling of isolation all too well, and I knew what I had sacrificed to survive. Compared to what he once gave me, it seemed insignificant. Besides, this punishment was long overdue, and it wasn't nearly enough.

Nicholas suddenly looked up, his face twisted in a pained expression that made it impossible to read his eyes.

"Why won't you listen to my explanation? I didn't do it. I would never hurt you or joke about your safety."

He didn't understand. His voice was hoarse and choked.
