**Nancy's POV**
It's already midnight and I am not getting a single sleep. How would I even get that?
I call Mia but she doesn't receives my phone. She is more than just angry with me. How can I make her fine with me?
My heart feels restless.
It feels really heavy.
I know it doesn't work but whenever I get disturbed another person with whom I could talk to was Kevin, I call him. I used to nag him tell him all of my insecurities and problems.
Even after knowing that he won't be able to pick up the call, I dial his number through speed dial. He is number five in my speed dial.
The rings goes on. My heart feels as if be would pick up the call, that he is okay but he doesn't. He wouldn't.
I cut off the phone and then dial the speed dial number one.
"Sorry! The number you are calling is unavailable," it says.
Tears come out of my eyes.
"Ma... Ma... I just... Miss you... So much," I say even after hearing the voi
**Nancy's POV**His parents died in plane crash? And I never knew about it.It's been seven years that I haven't got any information about them. All of them were lost like a foams and we never heard about it.After that day, Zion was never seen. Even in school and never in surrounding. He had left everything and went somewhere none of us could track him down.All these year, I lived in his hypothetical memories. I didn't even knew that he was dead or alive.His number wasn't available. His address wasn't the same that he had on his documents. He was lost, lost like the foam in the air.Right now, I am sleeping right beside him. The man who seems so calm right now and looks as innocent as a child.What happened all those years? My ears want to listen each and everyone of itWhat changed him from a reckless bad guy to the hardworking CEO, I want to know them all.But when?Seems like he doesn't rem
**Nancy's POV**What the shit did we do just now?We both get shocked from the sharp and loud voice from the door.It's Selena.I gulp my saliva as the sound of it comes out loud that I can hear it myself."Selena," I say."You bitch! How dare you do that with my fiance? I knew that you were slut from the first moment I saw you. You dare to play with my fiance?" she walks in as she raise her hands and tries to land it on my cheeks.But her hands never reach on mine.Xander resists it with the pain clearly on his face."What the fuck do you think you are doing right now? Who let you enter into my house?" he grunts as he jerks off her hand in an abrupt way and she falls on the ground."I am warning you whoever you are, I don't want to see your face in front of me. Make sure you stay away from me," he says and holds my hand."Don't you dare to hurt my love. She belongs to me and no one can hurt her. If someone
**Nancy's POV**He is sitting in the chair in front of me while I am busy looking at the butterflies and the insects in the garden along with the beautiful flowers in there."Baby, can you please stop lingering on those plants? Those insects are scary," he says when he sees me playing with the insect.I was science student and I had to dissect almost all the cringe animals of the world before I joined chemistry as my main subject.I know that he is scared of insects. I want to tease him for a while."You love them, don't you?" I ask him blinking my one eye to him."Obviously not!" he protests as he turns his head to another direction.I pick one spider from there and place it right in front of his eyes and the next thing that happened was just more than just precious.You can never watch him shout like a child in fear."Put it away from me," he shouts and I laugh it like a crazy person that I am not able to stop my laugh
**Nancy's POV**"You know my number?" I ask him. How can he dial my number without even a delay? I mean he is so quick and his fingers moved like he knew the number from decades."Of course, yes Selena. I got it from Mr. Bradley yesterday and recited it whole day," he says."Oh!!" I make a long face. What am I even expecting?After having breakfast with him, I get back to my room and get ready for the work.I am doing make up on my room when I see him standing on the door leaning at its side and looking at me with a grin."What are you doing over there? Since when we're you standing over there?" I ask him and he walks in wobbly manner and sits on the chair next to me."Since, you were in front of mirror?" he says and I smile."You need anything?" I ask."Nothing, just want to see you. I can live my whole day without you after seeing you whole heartedly," he says.Gosh!How can he be so cheesy?
**Nancy's POV**"Mam, your test tube is going to fall," a fellow colleague tries to warn me when I am lost in my own thoughts."Oh! Thanks for informing," I say as I place it back and check out the chemical reactions on my notes.He smiles at me and walks further that is when I see him going to get hit with the bottle of concentrated sulphuric acid."Hey! Watch out," I shout at him as I pull him to me and we both fall on the floor.The falling of the acid alerts all of the staffs and all of their concentration gets fixed on us."Are you alright?" I ask him and get up and help him get up from there.He nods and looks around.We both look at the acid that is being corrosive on the ground."That would have been my skin if you haven't saved me," he turns to me and hugs me being so much emotional with me."It's fine. Be careful next time," I pat his back gently and move back to my work. In some minutes they clean it up
Nancy's POV**"How do you know that I'm smiling a lot? Are you somewhere here?" I ask him."I am always near to you Selena. You just never got to see me," he says as someone honks the horn of a car.I look around and watch the car.The window of the car opens and the man inside is none other than Zion himself. I stand in awe while I see him."You want me to come over there?" he asks.I am just lot in his image in front of me that it takes me some seconds to decipher what he is telling."No... Please, get seated inside. I will come to you," I say and walk to his car.I don't want people to create another scene after they see someone close to me and specially when it is a guy.Also, he is sick and I don't want to make him take all the difficult decision for me or I would say Selena.I rush to the car and open the passengers seat door behind and get a seat in there. He closes the window.As soon as I close the
**Nancy's POV**"What did you say?" My ears can't believe what he said just now. My blood pressure suddenly gets low when I hear that."Marry me," he says one more time and I get up quickly from my seat.This isn't supposed to happen. I know that I am pretending on someone's behalf and I know that someone would someday come to me to claim his man but even after that it is so selfish of me that I am being happy with him.I am loving every moments with him.I can't actually love him back now. I can't get married with him.How can I? He has someone reserved for him and I am waiting for someone in my life too."Zion, I am not suppose to do this. I... I am really sorry," I say and try to look at another side but he turns me to his direction and places both his hands on my face."Don't say that. I really can't imagine my life wi
*Zion's POV**"Boss, she is leaving?" Bradley informs me while I am wincing on pain and can't show it to her."Mr. Bradley, call the doctor quick," I say as I try to walk to the bed but I can't and fall on the floor.I become unconscious after it and don't know what happened. The moment I open my eyes, I am in the king sized bed of mine and as always my assistant Bradley is right beside me."I am telling as a long term friend Zion. I know what you have gone through all these years. I don't want you to do all of these just for a girl. You're handsome, dashing and also you're eligible bachelor or whole city. You can find anyone and whoever you love with," he says which I am not even interested in hearing.Michelangelo Bradley, my roomate with whom I spent all of my college years in London.At first we were cold and it was really hard for me to open up to him but as time passed by he became one of my favourite and this is the reason I tru
Final chapterNancy's POV:(Before the surgery)"Nan! I'm here. You shouldn't worry about anything. You know I love you, don't you? " He holds my hands in his as he gently caresses them.Me, sleeping in the bed, smile brightly as I look up to his face. His face creases as he looks at me. There isn't a pity in his eyes. There is only the love, care and honest commitment in his eyes."Thank you! Thank you for everything but will you let me go now," I say and he smiles."Yes!" He says and the ward boys take me towards the surgery room.I look around as the bed moves inside the horrible and scary surgery room. I have never been in the surgery room in my whole life.I hated it. I completely hated the surgery room after I lost my mother with the same disease and look at the funniest and most hilarious part of l
**Nancy's POV**"I won't do it. I won't just do it," I shout as I stand on the entrance of the washroom.How can this happen? How can this ever happen?Why me? I have never even imagined that it could be me. It could be I that should go through all of this.I break down in front of the washroom as I fall on the cleanly wiped tiled floor with my both hands supporting me to sit.The tears stream down my cheeks like they are flooded with that salty liquid and are never ever going to stop in my whole life.Zion runs to me as he sees me falling down on the floor."Nan! Don't do this please. You should stay strong and everything is going to be alright after you do your surgery," he consoles but I don't have any intention to get consoled by his words.H doesn't know how can I live without my bre
**Zion's POV**My eyes feel like tearing our right now when she asks me that if she has any problem?How can I say that?How can I literally say that she is diseased?"Miss Nancy, would you please take a seat first. We need to talk with you first," the doctor advises with the gentle voice and she sits right opposite to him sharing me a confused look.I walk to her and pat her shoulder gently."Don't worry, dear I'm always right here by your side," I assure her and she sits quite calm but I know more than anyone that she is so much afraid right now.The doctor explains all of her situation in front of her. She seems to be more shocked and worried when she listened to them."So, what is the solution? What can I do to treat it on time?" she asks with low and hopeless voice. Doctor has assured her that her disease will be alright and she will be healthy again but being a diseased itself is such a huge shock to everyone and wh
**Zion's POV**I get a call from the doctor. He inform me that I should make her ready as soon as possible for the surgery and this could be never done until I tell her what she has as a disease.I cannot hide from her anymore."I think I am all better right now. I don't need to visit hospital," she says brightly.Actually it's about what she went last day, it's about what she has been going all these time and doesn't know about it.It is because breast cancer symptoms are seen at the later stage and she hasn't still seen the symptoms maybe."Still we need to visit the hospital. I want you to meet someone at the hospital," I say as I increase the speed of the car. I am freaking serious right now and there is no joke regarding her health."Don't tell me you are going to set me up with some of your doctor's friend?" she chuckles and I become a little mad.Why the hell would I set up my girlfriend with some other guy?
**Nancy's POV**I tip toe towards my room as I enter inside the house. I don't want to encounter neither dad nor Nathan at all. I don't want our eyes to meet at all.I grab my heels on my hand and slowly tip toe towards the stairs in the pace of cat walks."Caught you," Nathan's voice rings on my ear like hell. Why him? Why of all people it should be him?"Nathan!" I breathe out the air from my mouth as his eyes gazes on mine playfully."Guess someone had a good time tonight," he smirks as he sips the lemon tea from the kitchen counter. He literally loves lemon tea which I hate so so so much."Don't shout. It's not like that. We just wanted to give you peaceful time with your friends and that's all." I throw both of my hands in the air and sigh breathing out loud that even the ants in the room can hear."Your sighs are making me think that
**Nancy's POV**My eyes magnifies as I hear him say that."Shower together?"He grins as he can see confused look on my face."But you are already done, right?" My brows arches up as my hands are still on his shoulders fiddling his bare muscular and toned skin in there."I can take bath again," he says as he closes the bathroom door and locks it from inside.God!Why do I feel hot?I feel like the bathroom is some kind of desert which is really hot and I cannot find any air in there.My cheeks are burning and I guess he can clearly see the blushes on my cheek and anxiety on my eyes.I quickly get down from his waist and stand in front of him."This is bad idea. I am not comfortable with this." I see downward. He grips my chin and lifts it so that my eyes could see him and
**Nancy's POV**The bed dips its mattress as his weight lays beside me, holding me amidst his huge arms and his body dangerously close to me.My heart races like a leopard, making it thump so much loud.Is he able to hear me? What about my heart?I gulp the saliva formed in my throat and I try not to make any sounds so that it will wake him up or he knows that I am not asleep. I forcibly close my eyes as I don't want him to think I am not asleep right now."Not getting a sleep," I hear his murmur which makes my eyes shit open all of an immediaten.I nod absent mindedly and then I immediately realize that I am not suppose to do that. I am just supposed to pretend I am asleep."Nancy! Turn your head to me. I want to see you," he says and I gulp hard on my throat.It's not like he has never seen or something like that. He has seen me and but his approach is always dangerously overwhelming to me.He uses his hand
**Nancy's POV**"Wear this." He hands me the white plain T-shirt which is obviously oversized. It must be his."Should I go out?" He asks. I have never seen him getting my permission while I am changing the dress. I mean I have to push him outside while changing the dress."Uhm... Would you mind?" I say."It's fine. Let me go out and wait for you," he says as he walks out of the room and slams the door gently.It is such a waste that I did quite a make up for the party but didn't even get chance to go over there. By the way, I got to wear the outfit which was rotting almost for years on my wardrobe.I curl up my fingers to reach the bottom of my one piece as I tuck it out of my body. I have rarely watched my body all this time.I mean I rarely get time to adore what I have. These beautiful shoulders, my slender stomach, white and soft skin which I have neglected all this time.And the beautiful busts of mine which are obviously n
**Nancy's POV**"Will you marry me?" Zion's voice enunciates in the whole hall like he has some speaker on his mouth. Or is it because my senses are all filled with his thoughts that I hear him everywhere."What do you mean by marry?" my brows rise up to get the glimpse of his eyes. They are sparkling like hell."I mean you are serious right now? Like really really get married? Right now?" My brows pucker gazing at his amazing smirk which are talking a lot more than his actual words.This man isn't joking at all."I am serious Nan! Will you marry me?" he reiterates."Uhm... Don't you think this is quite awkward position for marriage proposal. I mean who proposes like this,"" I try to wake up but be pulls me back and I yank hard on his chest."Yes or no," he asks firmly. His eyes wandering all over my face like he is scared of rejection that might come from me."Zion, please stop this!" I try to stand up one more time but he doe
