A shocked Ryder tried to push Nikolas away but he was too strong for him. “Who the hell are you talking about? I don’t even know who you are. Why should I want to marry your girl?” Yelled Ryder. Brandon came to his senses and rushed forward to help his best friend.
“I am Nikolas Ardolf. Now you know what you've done? You have snatched my Brooklyn away. How dare you plan to marry her?” gritted out Nikolas, shaking Ryder like a madman.
“Sir, please calm down. There’s a misunderstanding. Ryder isn’t..,” Brandon started but was cut short as Nikolas pushed him away, not listening to anything he was saying. Other people came forward to get Ryder free from his grip but it wasn’t easy. Nikolas would rather die than let Ryder marry his Brooklyn.
“Sir, ca
After the wedding ceremony was over, Nikolas was held up by the crowd of people congratulating the newlyweds. He tried to look for Brooklyn who was standing by her best friend but it was impossible to see her amongst the crowd. They finally dispersed but Nikolas couldn’t find Brooklyn anywhere. His eyes searched for her everywhere. He looked all around the place for Brooklyn and his babies but it seemed as if they had simply disappeared from the place!He noticed Brandon laughing with a younger guy and strode towards him. “Where’s Brooklyn?” he barked impatiently. Brandon gave him a surprised look and looked around for his twin.“She was right here a few minutes ago,” said Brandon looking around for the twins.“Don’t f*cking play games with me, Brando
“Are you okay?” Asked Wesley, looking worriedly at Brooklyn who sat dazed beside the window.“Yeah but how long will we stay here? When are your grandparents returning home?” Asked a tired Brooklyn. Yesterday upon reaching Wesley’s grandparents' house, they realized that his grandparents had gone to the Bahamas on a vacation. Brooklyn was worried and lost, not knowing where to go next. Wesley called his grandma, Jane Ashburn, and told her everything. She asked them to stay at her best friend’s house for a few days.Wesley’s granny’s best friend, Sarah Grantville lived three houses away. Upon hearing about Brooklyn, she came to take her and the babies to her house. She was a friendly old lady with twinkling blue eyes who introduced herself and insisted that they stay at her house till his granny Jane re
A gasp escaped Brooklyn’s mouth as she clutched at her heart with shock. So he knew that she was here but how? Did granny Sarah give her away? However, that question was soon answered since both granny Sarah and her husband were just as perplexed as she was.“How did you know that Brooklyn is here?” Asked a perplexed granny Sarah. Nikolas laughed and stood up. How could he miss her? The moment he had stopped his car farther down the street, he had seen her peering at him from a window, at a little distance from where he was. He had patiently waited for her to make a move. He had been so happy when she at last did!“She can’t hide behind a curtain for long. I saw her fighting with that assistant of hers, Wesley Mitchell. Where is he by the way? He needs to be punished,” said Nikolas.
Brooklyn’s heart started thundering in her chest, ready to jump out of its ribcage. Why was he coming towards her when he should be going to the other side of the bed to sleep? “Sleep there, not with me,” said Brooklyn, seeing him approach her.“If I sleep, I’ll sleep beside you. What if I crush my babies in the middle of the night?” Asked Nikolas a little worriedly.“You won’t,” assured Brooklyn but Nikolas was adamant and lay down right beside her, pulling out a spare pillow for himself.“I’m sleeping here. Tomorrow we’ll go home. I’ll ask Kathy to get cribs for the twins,” said Nikolas, breathing into her neck. Brooklyn shifted as much as possible to make space for him on the king-sized bed. His hot breath on her neck
Brooklyn stared at him, shocked by his speech. Nikolas gazed at her for a second waiting for a reply. When she didn’t utter a single word, he walked out of the house. Brooklyn blinked and sat down to eat, with Nikolas’s words ringing inside her head.You can’t escape me in this life, Brooklyn. I’ll chase you forever till you completely surrender to meNo, she wouldn’t escape him again. No one cared for them as much as he did. Although he had a strange way of showing his love for them, he did love them, maybe more than she loved him.She relished the delicious sausage and egg sandwiches and fruit salad that he had made for her, all the time staring at him as he stood on the porch and talked on his phone. She noted that he had reduced a lot in the last nine months, his hair ha
Brooklyn’s breath got stuck in her throat as he approached her with an amused look on his face. Her eyes widened with apprehension even thinking of what he might be up to in front of the twins. “Nikolas, Bry and Nik are watching, please,” she whispered breathlessly. Nikolas chuckled and walked past her over to the drinks counter, pouring himself some minty drink. Brooklyn’s jaws dropped with astonishment. What was he up to? Was he kissing her or not?“What? I’ll have to settle with this at the moment. I don’t want you running for the hills leaving those two with me. I can’t handle them at all,” he chuckled. Brooklyn smiled and looked away, but was she really relieved? It would be a lie to say that she didn’t want to be kissed by Nikolas!“I’m glad that good sense finally prevail
“So, what about your job there in LA? Have you resigned?” Asked Nikolas, as he waited for her to finish her dinner.“Not yet, I’m on extended maternity leave. I hadn’t taken a day off work since I joined,” said Brooklyn. “I was also pursuing my studies simultaneously since the company was sponsoring my education,” she informed him.“I want you to email them your resignation as henceforth I’ll be taking care of you as well as your education,” stated Nikolas like an order. “This isn’t up for argument,” he added when she opened her mouth to speak.“Okay, I’ll email them my resignation,” said Brooklyn, feeling a little down. She didn’t want to be dependent upon Nikolas at all. “But I don&rs
Nikolas freed his hand from her hold. “Just don’t touch me if you want me to stay away from you,” he said gruffly, walking around to his side of the bed and lying down, with his back towards her. Brooklyn gaped at him, taken aback by his sudden outburst. She went towards her side and lay down, wide awake, listening to his angry breathing.She had no idea when she fell asleep but when she woke up, she found Sally by her bedside. “The twins need a feed, Brooklyn,” she said, gently. Brooklyn got up and noted that it was the wee hours of the morning, a few minutes still left for sunrise. Nikolas’s side was empty which only meant that he was already awake. “Sir wasn’t there when I came in,” said Sally, leading her out of the room towards the nursery. Brooklyn glanced towards Nikolas’s study room to see that the lights were on. So was he spending
