Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 135

Alicia paused, considering Tyrone. Then she turned her gaze to Jade. "But today, I don't feel like forgiving you."

Jade drew in a sharp breath. "Fine. Then I'll come back tomorrow…"

She glared at Alicia, barely restraining the urge to lash out.

"Why are you so afraid of her, sis?" Nicole demanded, frustration in her voice.
