Blake:“What the fuck do you mean she filed for a divorce?” I asked my lawyer, my eyes widening in surprise as I processed what he just told me. She had sent her lawyer here earlier, but the last thing I expected was for her to do something like this. “She sent the papers that needed signing, boss. Her lawyer says that there is nothing for us to worry about when it concerns the business partnership, she is more than willing to keep it running; but she does not wish to proceed with the marriage” His eyes avoided mine as he handed me the divorce paper with her signature on it. And staring at the papers, I felt like my heart dropped to my stomach.“Get out” I said, not bothering to look up from the sheet of paper, now realizing and understanding how much damage a small paper could do to a person. My world itself felt like it was breaking apart, and I couldn’t even bring myself to accept or believe that she would do such a thing with everything that the two of us were going through.“Bos
Natalia:I was quiet as I sat on the edge of the couch of my office, thinking of what Blake told me. The office was already empty right now, and the only one downstairs was the security man. The night’s air, despite being as cold as it was, felt warm and tight with each passing second, and I couldn’t help but feel small with each breath that I took. The man, my husband, who had come here to accuse me of simply being jealous despite all the things that I was trying to prove to him. He didn’t see that I was scared of losing him, and that was something that bothered me more than I could describe. In his eyes, I was jealous of his past relationship. But he didn’t understand that he knew what it was like to love and be loved. I, on the other hand, didn’t. Blake was the one man who I have ever been with, and he was the ONLY man I fell in love with; therefore, the idea of losing him and getting my heart broken was scarier than I ever thought it would be. Even filing the divorce and signin
Blake: I opened my eyes to frown when I saw that my mate was sleeping on a chair with her head laying on the edge of the bed. She rested her head on her arm as her hand held on mine despite her being asleep, and judging by the frown on her face, I could tell that she only slept out of exhaustion; however, she was nowhere near being okay. If anything, I could even tell that she was still somewhat conscious despite her being asleep, her body just needed the rest. I ran my finger over her hand, gently stroking it, making her stir. And opening her eyes, Natalia’s eyes met mine before she released a breath that she was holding. I smiled weakly at her, the effect of painkillers starting to wear off, and taking my hand in both of hers, she kissed my palm gently. I nodded at her, wanting her to get in bed beside me, and she froze, waiting for a few seconds before making a move. Her eyes met mine and I smiled at my beauty, my eyes softening “I won’t sleep in bed while you sit on a chair
Natalia: “What are you doing?” I asked Blake, raising an eyebrow at him as he tried getting out of bed. “Natalia…” “Blake, we have literally been over this a hundred times right now. Come on” I said, shaking my head at his stubborn behavior. I swear, the man was as stubborn as a child who didn’t want to sit still. He sighed and laid back, knowing that I wouldn’t let him move, I haven’t been allowing him to for the past week, and I wasn’t going to do so now, at least, not until the doctors said that he could. “Nat, you know that I can’t stay in bed all day” he said, growing frustrated. I laughed at his childish behavior but didn’t bother responding as I helped him adjust his legs on the bed. The two of us have been together in this hospital room since they brought him in here, and despite him asking me to go home and rest, seeing as I needed it in his opinion, I kept refusing, not wanting to leave him alone in case he needed anything. “Blake, you are still injured, and you need t
Blake:I smiled as we entered the pack’s ground.Never in my life did I think that I would be forced to stay away due to being as injured as I was.The fact that they wouldn’t even let me go home to recover there was not something that I could easily forget or ignore, but I was also thankful for my mate who stayed by my side through it all.I didn’t even know how I would be able to repay her for what she did to me. Her putting all our fights, arguments, and issues aside to simply stick to my side, ensuring to be the one who took care of me regardless of knowing that there were nurses that could have done the job instead.My arm was looped around my mate’s, holding her close to me as we walked. Her father, who I knew was still confused about her leaving the way that she did, stood, watching us in silence, knowing not to interfere in such situations. Mostly because he was unsure of the reasons; however, I knew that if he knew, things wouldn’t go as smoothly as they were going now. The m
Natalia: “Nat…” “The bath is ready for you, Blake” I said, stopping him, not wanting him to dwell on the subject. I knew that he was well aware of the struggles that I have been through; however, I was never really one to actually voice them out like that. The fact that my parents wanted to choose to give me up as a child never left my mind, and no matter how old I got, or how many times I tried to convince myself to just let it slide, I couldn’t. I was too hurt by them to do so. “Natalia, don’t” Blake said, wrapping his arm around my waist, stopping me from taking a step forward. My chest ached, but I couldn’t say a word to respond to him, and my body wouldn’t even let me move from his grip if I tried. He pulled me to his chest, ignoring the fact that nothing should be touching his stomach or side just yet, at least, not with pressure. “I’m fine, Blake” I said, stopping him before he could say a word. The pressure that I was under lately was becoming too much, and the scary p
Blake:“Are you sure that you want to handle seeing him, baby girl?” I asked Natalia who smiled as she put her shirt on. “I can’t keep hiding here from him. Plus, we have to start with this stupid training; otherwise, we are in deep hell when Drake decides to pop up” Natalia said, looking at me. I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her to my chest, feeling thankful for her being by my side. She didn’t even know how happy I was that she was actually giving me a chance to fix things between us, but the last thing I could think of right now was asking too many questions that could make her nervous about us being okay now or not.One thing that I knew for sure, I was thankful for the fact that the two of us managed to share a bed for the first time in weeks, OUR bed, and that is something that I couldn’t have been more grateful for. The night was the first peaceful night in the many nights of us either being in a fight, of us staying at the hospital. The warmth that we felt, and t
Natalia:People often say that to be in love is like walking on a knife’s edge.It hurts, cuts, and tears, but at times, it is worth every single pain that you can go through.I never understood what that meant until I saw Blake removing the portrait off that wall.The way he looked at me, and the way he spoke to me, everything about him was different, and I didn’t know what it was that changed him; but I was more than thankful for it.“You need to focus on what element you want to use, you can’t use them all at random.” Dad said, breaking my train of thoughts. I nodded at him, and starting a field, I made water rise from all around me, circling us, turning around before it rose to the sky, forming a dragon’s shape. Crystal, who was on my shoulder, looked at me then at the dragon above.“That’s me.”“Indeed it is, little one.” I told my dragon who purred and rubbed her muzzle on my cheek as a dog would to its owner. I looked at dad who nodded before crossing his arms over his chest.“
