Author’s POVFlashback…Cyrus made his way towards his friends after calling and instructing the driver to come to the main door of the hall and pick up Natalie.“Have you forgotten your friends because of your wife, huh?” Ryker asked in a teasing manner.Cyrus didn’t react to him in any way. His mind was occupied with his wife’s thoughts. He was really worried about her.He had noticed that she was acting a little strange, since last night when he told her about this party.She said that she was nervous or feeling stressed because of the pressure of being in front of so many people.But to him it felt like she was not nervous, instead she was scared of something. But what? He wasn’t quite sure.“Hey man, what are you thinking about?” Ryker asked him bringing him out of his thoughts.“Nothing, just work” he lied.“I still can’t believe that you got married man. We thought that you were going to be single for the rest of your life, having fun you know” his another friend Dav

Causing a small shriek to escape her mouth.“Don’t you test my patience Natalie” he growled at her face but she just stood there and didn’t even react to his outburst.“Let me go…” she spoke in her low hoarse voice while trying to pull her hand out of his grip.She didn’t even lift her head to look at him. Her eyes were down casted. She looked broken and he hated seeing her like this.“What are you trying to play at huh? Why are you acting like a victim here? Do you think if you act like a victim in this situation then you wouldn’t have to be responsible for your shameful acts?” he spat in anger.Finally she lifted her eyes up to look at him and asked

Author’s POVCyrus was still sitting on the couch in his study room. His head is resting against the headrest of the couch as his mind kept thinking about what his wife said before leaving.‘Was she telling me the truth? Did she really do nothing wrong? Was Smith trying to take advantage of her when he saw them together last night? If yes then why didn’t she screamed for help? Why didn’t she push him away?” All of this unanswered questions are making his head ache.

Author’s POV“Natalie!” A whisper left Cyrus’ mouth as soon as he entered into the room and saw his wife.She was laying there on the floor, motionless. He immediately dashed in her direction and crouched down beside her on the floor. Maria followed him and stood beside him. She is looking equally worried for her.Natalie looked paler than before. Her lips have lost their natural pink colour. Cyrus reached to touch her face and his eyes widened in shock when his palm made contact with her skin. Her body was burning up in fever.“Natalie…” he patted her face lightly while calling her name. But when she didn’t open her eyes he shook her by her shoulder but still she didn’t respond.Panic crawled in his each vein.Without wasting another second, he slid his one arm behind her back and another behind her thighs. He lifted her tiny body in bridal style in his arms and walked towards his bed.“Maria, call the doctor” he ordered and she immediately dashed to take the receiver a
Billionaire's Cruel Temptation Chapter 26
Author’s POV“Why are you doing this to me?” Natalie shouted after pushing Cyrus away from herself. But her voice just came out weak. Her push was not strong enough to make him move away from her body but he still took a step away from her because of the tears that he saw pooling in her dull brown eyes. “Nat, I was just trying to hel…” she didn’t let him complete his sentence and cut him off by saying, “Don’t call me that”. “Don’t act like we are close” she shouted in frustration. “Why are you doing this to me, huh? Why are you showing this concern to me after what you did to me? Why are you acting like you care when you don’t?” she asked. She is still not feeling stable emotionally. She doesn’t even know what she is saying right now. “Natalie please, calm down. You shouldn’t be taking stress right now. Doctor said you have to give rest to both your body and also your mind” Cyrus said worried. He is concerned that she will get sick again due to all this stress. “As if you car

He pressed the button for the sixty sixth floor where my office is and came to stand beside me.“So Kings have postponed the meeting for a month from now on.
