Blue's POVRestrained and blindfolded, my heart is racing in too much tension and anticipation. I was gripping the headboard tight as I bit my bottom lip hard. I can't move my arms because of Nicholas' belt tying my wrists to the headboard.I can feel him. I can feel Nicholas near me. I don't know what he's doing or what he's thinking, but I know he's still angry. After we got home, he dragged me inside his room—our room and tied me to the bed.He's mad because I told him not to promise anything to Sunny again. He's mad because he wants to be responsible for my sister and I'm resisting. I don't know why he's mad about it but I'll make sure that after the deal, we will never cross paths again.I gasped and flinched after I felt Nicholas kneeled between my parted legs. He slowly and sensually caressed my inner thighs, causing me to whimper and arch my back.My heartbeat doubled as I felt his wet and soft lips kissing my inner thighs. Oh, God!"Nicholas!" I moaned his name after he licke
Nicholas' POV"Bye!"I stared at Blue's face as she waved at me and entered the hospital she's working at. She's smiling. Her eyes are worried-free but why does it feel so wrong? I felt like she's starting to distance herself from me despite being so bold whenever we're having sex. It has been three weeks since the first time we made love, and I'm starting to feel like she's building an invisible wall between us. She's obviously starting to avoid me.I don't like this! I need to talk to her. I need to make sure that she feels the same way as I am. I need to give her assurance that I won't disappoint her.Instead of going home, I went to my bar and met Theo in the private room. He got drunk last night and he slept here. He's drinking coffee when I came."Man!" He greeted me as we bumped our fists.I lazily sat on the couch across from him and rested my back on the couch. I shook my head and palmed my nape. I clenched my jaws. This is making me crazy. What should I do?"What's up, man?
Nicholas' POVI threw the countless photos on the floor that Laura gave me. I kicked the couch and shouted my curse on the top of my lungs. My chest is moving up and down rapidly. I can't control myself. Anger is overpowering me. I've been trying to figure out who killed my mom and why she was killed but… but now. I don't know anymore. All I want is to punish those who are responsible."Nico, I didn't leave you because I wanted to. I left because I want to find the truth about your mother's death. Luke Morris also threatened me to leave you or he'll hurt you. I was scared, Nico."Laura hissed angrily. "Luke Morris is the heir to the mafia group that's against the reign of your family in the mafia world, Nico."I don't understand. After leaving me, here she is, giving me information about my mother's killer. I glared at her. "Why would you meddle with my life? This isn't yours to decide, so why?""N-Nico, I was just trying to help—""I DON'T NEED YOUR F-CKING HELP, LAURA!" I cut her of
Blue's POVNicholas didn't come back. I waited for him all night until morning today but I didn't see even his shadow. I felt my heart clenching with combined pain and fury. I want to see him and punch his face. I want to know if he still wants me or he's just using me for his own desire. I'm starting to hate him again."Blue, have you thought about what I said?"I looked at Doctor Trevor and pressed my lips together. He's referring me to his father's friend, who is a professor. He wants me to practice my skills and continue my study. I would be able to become a registered nurse if I get proper practice.He smiled at me. "Come on, Blue. This will benefit you. Don't think about the time you'll have to sacrifice. Think about the future that awaits you after you become a registered nurse."He has a point. I actually want to become a registered nurse. I want to fulfill my dreams but not now. Probably after my sister's recovery? Right. She'll be undergoing surgery so I have to focus on her
Blue's POVLuke Morris was my highschool sweetheart. He courted me for two years. He became my boyfriend after two years and then in our last year in high school, he disappeared without a trace, without a word. I was so devastated. He promised to marry me but he broke his own promises.I rose from the bench and was about to leave when he grabbed my wrist, stopping me. "Blue, please let's talk."I glared at him. "There's nothing to talk about, Luke."His eyes softened. "Please? I just want to talk to you. Just give me five minutes, please. Please, Blue…"I balled my fists and laughed sarcastically. "Did even say goodbye before, Luke? No! You disappeared without a word and now you want me to waste five minutes with you? Never!"A bus stopped in front of me, so I quickly got on the bus, leaving him there. I don't wanna talk to him. I don't even wanna see him. He broke my heart and now he's trying to get in my life again? I'd be stupid if I give him a chance.I pressed my lips together as
Nicholas' POVAnger overpowered me. Seeing Blue with another guy made me so furious. I want to give her a punishment she would never forget. I can't take the image of him touching my fiancée. It's intensifying the anger in me.Blue Rivers. How is she connected with Luke Morris? How come she knows that bastard? He's the heir to the mafia group who killed my mom. Doubts are flooding my mind as I suspected Blue as a spy. I was trying so hard to disregard my doubts and ego. I was trying so hard to make myself believe that she's not a spy.No! She can't be a spy. She was found by my father and was promised to marry me. She's mine.I clenched my jaws. Fck you, Luke, Morris! You can't take my fiancée away from me. Blue Rivers is mine. I don't even care anymore whether she's a spy or what. She's for me."Nicholas!" She growled at me angrily after I tore her blouse apart.Her resistance made me even more angry. I pinned her hands on the bed after putting my weight on her. I'm kissing her neck,
Blue's POVI moved my face away when Nicholas attempted to kiss my cheek after I entered the pad. He seems to be waiting for me since I saw him leaning on the wall in the foyer while his hands are inside his pocket. I pressed my lips together as I saw how he heaved a sigh."Have you eaten?" He asked using a very calm voice.I nodded and walked past him. I went straight to our bedroom and looked at him after he followed me. He was scratching the back of his neck while looking at the floor. He seems bothered about something. I know he's thinking about reconciling with me but I'm not in the mood. I'm still angry about what he did to me.He lifted his face and our gaze met. He bit his bottom lip and was about to speak when my phone rang. I took it out and a smile crept on my lips after seeing Sunny's name on the screen. She has a phone now. Nick Sanford gave her one. That old man seemed so fond of my sister. I'm actually happy that he's kind to her and treating her as his son.I answered
Blue's POVI entered the comfort room and was about to retouch when someone pushed the door and I heard it locked. My lips parted after I saw Luke looking at me with fury in his eyes. His jaws were clenching. His eyes are sharp. I don't know what's going on inside his mind but I'm sure he's mad.I looked around. We're alone here."What are you doing, Luke?" I asked after gathering my strength.He rushed to me and cornered me between his body and the wall. I tried to push him but he's stronger than me."Luke!"He slammed his palm against the wall as he looked down at me angrily. "Why were you with Nicholas Sanford?"My jaw almost dropped. He knew Nicholas? Despite the shock, I kept my composure and fought his intense eyes. "What is it to you?""Goddamn it, Blue! He's no good for you."I laughed sarcastically. "And who's good for me? You?"He clenched his jaws. "You can't be with him, Blue. He's a dangerous man.""You're more dangerous, Luke," I said with a sharp tone. "You left me with
Nicholas’ POVI’ve been staring at my wife’s face for almost an hour now. My wife. A smile crept on my lips because of that one word that seemed so simple but meant a lot to me. I married her yesterday. Our marriage should’ve happened five years ago if she didn’t disappear and lost her memories but it’s fine. The time we spent apart didn’t go to waste anyway. In the end, she’s back in my arms. In the end, she’s still mine. It’s so fcking enchanting to reminisce about the past while staring at her face. Who would’ve thought that my father’s idea would work like this? I can’t blame him for choosing Blue. This woman has a lot of traits to impress everyone around her. This woman is fcking lovable and so damn lucky to have her as my wife. An angel who fell in love with a devil? I thought this would only work in romance books and movies but love is really magical, huh?“Daddy?”I kissed my wife’s forehead before opening the bedroom door for my daughter. Blue doesn’t want to leave Nicholai,
Blue’s POVWearing my elegant wedding dress, I’m standing nervously under the arch of the decoration. We’re having a garden wedding. I couldn’t see Nicholas from where I’m standing and it seems like adding to my nervousness. I’m feeling so many emotions. Fear, excitement, happiness, anticipation and everything I could’t name.I’m finally marrying Nicholas. I’ve been so lonely ever since my parents died. I’ve been so lonely and hopeless especially after Luke left me without a word. I thought I wouldn’t find someone who would love me. I thought I’m actually meant to be alone but fate has another plan. I was entangled with the rebellious son of a ruthless mafia lord. Nick Sanforf became the bridge who brought me to Nicholas. At first, I really found it unjust and ridiculous but now thinking about everything that happened, I must say everything was planned. Everything that happened was fated to happen.“Are you ready?”I lifted my face to see the organizer of the wedding. She’s smiling so
Blue's POV"I wanna kiss you all day, all night… forever…"I chewed my bottom lip. We're dancing beside our table here in an exclusive restaurant. He kept on whispering sweet words, making my heart flutter so much."You'll love my kisses that you won't be able to sleep without it."I hit his chest. "Stop it! It sounded like you're enchanting me."His lips twitched. "Are you enchanted?"I laughed again. "Just stop it, Nicholas.""Make me," he challenged and leaned closer.He chuckled and kissed the tip of my nose. "Get your lips ready. I'll make sure to make it swollen from my kisses after we get married."I frowned at him. "Are you challenging me?""Kinda. Why? You're challenged?"Chuckling, I pinched his side. He dodged and laughed. We're so comfortable with each other and I like it. Conversing with him like this makes my heart jump in happiness. I have finally found my soulmate.He stole a kiss from my lips and grinned. "What did you eat?"I frowned. "Huh?" I glanced at the table. "
Blue's POVI was staring at the wall. My mind was blank and my eyes were swollen. I cried all night after the doctor announced Edward's death. He was shot in his chest, straight to his lung. I want to hurt Laura but she's also lying on the morgue bed, cold and pale. I want to find someone to blame but I can only blame myself. It was all my fault. I caused his death.I swallowed hard and caressed my chest. The pain in my heart doesn't want to vanish. Losing Edward feels like losing the person who gave me another reason to live. It's so painful."Blue."I lifted my face only to see my old friend's face. Fiona, Ivy, Liza and Trevor. I smiled at them. "Hey!""Are you okay? Your husband is now stable. I checked him myself," Trevor asked and sat beside me.I nodded at him. "I'm fine. Thanks for checking on him.""Sunny told us about what really happened." It was Ivy, who caressed my shoulder.I held her hand. "Thank you for coming here, girls."After a short conversation with them, I went i
Blue's POVI gritted my teeth after I saw the real Laura escaping. She ran to the forest, carrying a gun. I was about to follow her when a hand grabbed my arm. A punch welcomed my face as I saw the fake Laura's grin. Nicholas was behind her. He couldn't move as he stared at the woman in front of me.I licked the blood off my lips and pushed the ground, supporting my weight to stand on my feet."Hi, Blue." She chuckled. "You'll pay for shooting me."I glanced at her wounded knee. I gritted my teeth and balled my fists. "I don't have time for you.""Oh uh! Would you rather leave your dear fiancée with me?"Laughing sarcastically, I stared at her. "You think I'm that stupid?"I lifted my arm holding a gun and pointed it at her forehead. She chuckled as she slowly faced Nicholas behind her. "Nicholas, would you let her shoot your mom?"Nicholas gasped. Fck! I pressed my lips together and stared at Nicholas. He slowly turned to me. He's having a hard time. He knew that the woman in front o
Blue's POV"Come on, Blue. Today is Nicholai's birthday. Let's celebrate this special day on a date. Let's have girls bonding."I stared at Mari and shook my head. "Mari, you know that I can't put Nicholai's life in danger. Laura's around, roaming. Promise, we'll take her out after all the mess."She frowned and nodded. "Fine! I just missed my baby princess."I pressed my lips together. She really cares for Nicholai and it's definitely because of Nicholas. Laura managed to get Nicholai's trust in Mari's character. I also figured that she won't really hurt Nicholai because she still wants Nicholas. I want to feel pity. I'm hurting for her, but I won't tolerate her. She've done so many mistakes. She've done crimes. She need to pay for her sins."Blue, are you okay?"I smiled bitterly. "I want all of these to end, Mari. I'm so tired to this chasing game. I just want Laura to pay for her sins. That's all I want."Mari stared into my eyes. An emotion crossed her eyes. Anger. Why didn’t I r
Blue's POV"You sacred the fck out of me!" Nicholas growled at Theo. We all are in the living area. After the explosion, Nicholas ran to check on the burning car, thinking Theo was inside, but Theo luckily survived. He said he went out of the car again because he forgot to give his gift to Nicholai. I was so thankful that he has an advance gift for my daughter, if not… I don't even wanna think about it."How did your car explode? I mean, you aren't that stupid not to notice a bomb. And my men are roaming around this area. It's so fcking impossible for Laura to come here," Nicholas added.Theo heaved a sigh. "I don't know, okay? I don't know. I'm still so fcking scared and shocked. I almost got toasted.""What is fcking?"My eyes widened after I heard Nicholai's voice. I thought I told Sunny to make her sleep again, but it turns out Sunny was the one who fell asleep.I heard Nicholas gasping. "Sweetheart, why are you still awake?"Nicholas carried his daughter and looked at me. Nichola
Blue's POV"Breakfast in bed."I looked at Nicholas who entered the room carrying a tray of food. My eyes squinted as I saw happiness in his eyes. Smile wasn't leaving his lips as he went to me full of energy.He sat on the bed. "I'm gonna feed you.""I'm not crippled, Nicholas."His smile didn't fade. "Just let me pamper you, please!""DADDY! MOMMY!" Nicholai suddenly entered the room. I covered my body with a blanket. I'm wearing Nicholas' t-shirt but nothing underneath.Nicholas faces his daughter with a sweet smile. He kissed Nicholai's cheeks. "Yes, sweetheart? Good morning."Nicholai kissed his cheek and mine. "Good morning, mommy. Good morning, daddy. Can I go to the mall with my pretty aunt?"I looked at Nicholas. The aunt pretty she’s calling is Sunny. She's already so fond of her aunt after just a few days of living here in Nick Sanford's mansion.Nicholas heaved a sigh. "Sweetheart, I'm afraid you can't roam around yet. Mommy and I have to prioritize your safety, so can you
Blue’s POVI received a death threat from Laura the next day. She’s so furious about what happened. She’s blaming me for Logan’s betrayal and accusing me of seducing him. I want to laugh at her reaction but I know better that she’ll plot revenge. She would do everything to ruin me and I opt not to underestimate her again. Laura is a smart woman. I have already proven that. She’s blinded by anger and envy, so she’ll do whatever it takes to bring me down. She’s just so unlucky that Logan happened to be my brother.“Don’t think too much.” Nicholas’ voice woke me up from my reverie. I smiled as he sat beside me and handed me a cup of coffee.“Thanks,” I said and looked at the night sky. We’re on the roof deck. I’m watching the starless sky. It seemed so calm and kinda making me nervous. There’s a rainbow after the rain, they say. But after a calm night, there’s a storm.“Laura can never hurt you again, Blue. I promise to protect you with all my heart and at the expense of my life.”Slowly
