Trouble in Paradise (Arianna and Nicholas) novel Chapter 310

"I thought the first thing you would ask me is about how Yasmine is doing," Nicholas slowly turned around, stepping closer to me with each word.

"Since when did Pete become more important to you than Yasmine?"

Even Nicholas's shadow seemed to carry weight. For a moment, I felt like I could barely breathe.

As he closed in on me, I felt my body trembling. Trapped between the wall and his chest, I had no strength left to resist.

"You're shameless! How could you go through my phone!"

He raised an eyebrow, completely indifferent. "I can only save one—Yasmine or Pete. Who do you choose?"

When Nicholas asked this question, his heart was pounding just as hard. He could handle arguing with me or our relationship being strained, but he also couldn't accept me falling for someone else during this time.

He had overestimated human nature. Pete had liked me for so many years. Now that he had the chance, there was no way he would let me go.

But luckily, it wasn't too late. As long as I chose Yasmine, he wouldn't mind doing Pete a favor, as long as I still belonged to him.

I stared coldly at Nicholas. "So, are you admitting that you're behind what happened to Yasmine and Pete?"

Nicholas remained silent, his lips pressed together. Jasmine's words suddenly echoed in his mind. Maybe he should push her to make a choice.

He spoke softly. "Ariana, have you had enough fun? It's time to come home."

My straight back bent even lower as Nicholas's head leaned closer. Just as he was about to kiss me, I pushed hard against his shoulders.

My heart pounded loudly in my chest. "If I choose one, does it come with conditions or not?"
