Trouble in Paradise

The sudden kiss was like a tornado, and it ambushed me.

Nicholas' agile tongue explored every inch of my mouth. I couldn't react to it in time and couldn't fight back at all. The only thing I felt was that every other sense in my body had turned itself off at that moment. All that was left was the mild scent of cigarettes wafting into my nose and numbing every single one of my nerves.

He showed me his lust with that kiss. For a moment there, every drop of blood inside me had rushed to my head. His insanity had sent every nerve in my body into overdrive. It hurt me so much that I was almost asphyxiated. I came around after that. My palm had just begun pushing against his chest when he grabbed it and interlaced his fingers with mine.

At the very next second, the back of my palm was pressed onto the window and left a mark on the glass.

It seemed like Nicholas had lost control. He locked every single inch of my body in place. The guy never gave me any chance to flee. His tongue, which was slightly icy earlier, had become burning hot after that intense kiss. I wanted to talk at the time, and he seized the opportunity to slip his tongue further in. He had consumed every struggle and word I had in mind.

I had no idea how much time had passed before I finally got the chance to catch my breath. I aimed for his tongue and bit down. The pungent taste of blood instantly spread out. Nicholas was in so much pain that he let me go. Nicholas' eyes were bloodshot when he looked at me. He licked his bleeding lip. His gaze brimmed with accusation as he asked, "Are you still annoyed with me?"

Seeing his bloodthirsty side, I was surprisingly at a loss for words for a moment there. I couldn't stop my lips from trembling.

I lifted my arm as much as I could and then mercilessly swung my palm toward his shameless face.

Slap!

My slap got his face to turn to the side. The sound of it echoed within the car. Nicholas never defended himself. He endured my slap head-on. Red marks slowly appeared on his face.

Even my voice was trembling when I said, "We are about to get a divorce!"

"I am well aware of that," replied Nicholas.

He then turned back around. He gently caressed his face with his thumb and grinned evilly at me. "That is why you should get your fill now. I'd rather not have you make things complicated and come after me after the divorce." "What you did was illegal!"

"Hah! And what can you do about it?"

As he spoke, he latched onto me without even giving me a moment to think. He had one hand on the back of my neck and was putting pressure on me once more.

Nicholas had challenged me and asked me what I could do about that. His words bound me and dragged me deep into the water. A sense of breathlessness immediately engulfed me. He had said the same thing Claudia did.

I guessed that he said similar words with his head held high when he bailed Claudia out. His words got Claudia to admire him even more.

I thought it was impossible for her not to love a brother who protected her like that.

That meant that Nicholas already had someone he wanted to protect and love. I wondered why he still insisted on treating me that way under those circumstances.

That was an extremely invasive kiss, and it carried a hint of barbarism that humans instinctively had. It also came with a touch of pain.

Just as I assumed that I would have to keep enduring everything, Nicholas finally used up his strength. The kiss eventually slowed down and became loving.

His gaze seemed to be sending a thousand messages, but I couldn't see them anymore. My tears had already blurred my vision. Then, Nicholas let me go. We were both tortured.

When we finally reached Coral Villa, Claudia heard the sound of the car and got out to welcome Nicholas. She was wearing pink bunny pajamas, and the fake ears fluttered as she ran into Nicholas' embrace.

I didn't even look at them. I got out of the car and hurried into the master bedroom. However, when I opened the last drawer of the nightstand, I realized that my precious box was nowhere to be seen.

Claudia was hugging Nicholas' arm when she showed up by the bedroom door. Her tone was taunting when she said, "Ariana, didn't you say that you would let me have the master bedroom? You're not going to go back on your word and kick me out, are you?" Claudia swung Nicholas' arm and was acting all cute when she called out to him. Her tone suggested that she was asking for his help.

I shifted my gaze to Nicholas' face. He had his hands in his pocket and looked calm. It was clear that he was on Claudia's side. The way the two of them were together instantly triggered me and got me a little out of breath.

I gritted my teeth as I glared at Claudia and demanded, "Where is my stuff?"

Claudia stared tauntingly at me and replied, "I thought you wouldn't be back, so I moved everything to the basement. You can go look for them there."All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
