Chapter 71

Laura's POV

I locked eyes with him as I kept walking down the staircase. His brows were furrowed, and his lips curled up in anger.

"I am wearing a dress, Nicholas," I replied calmly. Staring into space, I said, "I remember saying we were going to the club, correct?"

"I said we were going to the club; I never said you should dress like a slut." I was infuriated at his words but decided to keep my cool. I already had everything planned out; I wasn't going to let anything interfere with my plans.

He dared to imply I was a slut? Well, that's fine; I'd just have to add it to the list of things he has been doing.

"This is a game you started, Nicholas. It's a good thing; two can play."

"Well, this is what I feel comfortable wearing," I said, averting my gaze from his and forcing a smile. "Shall we?"

He came close to me, barely inches away. He breathed heavily on my skin; his breath was hot. "You better not try anything silly at the club, do you hear me?" he asked, anger evident in his voice.
