Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0581

Nicholas' gaze was like an invisible rope, tightly binding my body and limbs in front of him. As I stared into his dark eyes, a sense of danger radiated from them, making me want to flee.

I furrowed my brow and instinctively turned my head to look at him. "You said you wouldn't get close to me without my permission."
