Nathan's POV

The burn of whiskey is familiar now, almost comforting as it slides down my throat, I had been drinking since she left. I sit in my dimly lit living room, a half-empty bottle on the table beside me. The room is silent, save for the faint hum of the city outside.

The room reeked of alcohol and loneliness, all the beautiful things that were used to adorn the room became dull and useless, they all lost their beauty in mine eyes.

Everything lost its spark after she left, then I realized that she is my world and without her I am nothing but a mould of clay and emptiness.

I take another sip, my mind reeling with thoughts of regrets.

But I lost her.

Just when I managed to get her back, just when things were going smoothly, this happened.

I push the thought away, but it found its way back. She didn't let me explain, but even if she did what would I have said to back up my claims.

Fuck, I messed up.

I flinched when I heard the sudden ringing of my phone, pulling me out of my tho

    Onika's POV My eyes widened as I saw his face, why was he doing here, I poked my head to take a peep and check if he had left but Kent's figure still stood there talking to one of the villagers."I clearly told him not to come," I mumbled to myself."I told you this was more than just caring for a friend, why would he go through the stress of finding you and coming here when you told him not to if he was just trying to be friends," Laura muttered."You're my friend and you did the same," I said trying to tease her."I'm different," she replied pouting her lips.I think we're too noisy for people trying to hide from someone, I poked my head to check again but I didn't see him."I think he's gone," I whispered to Laura."You think? Let me check," Laura said carefully waking out of the corner we hid."He's gone," she said after she scanned the area."Wheww," I let out a sigh of relief.

Laura and I are the only one who knows about this so how did he find out, I turned to look at Laura, could she? Then I recalled when she said Kent was ready to take care of me and dmy child, did she tell him after I asked her not to say anything to anyone?"Laura, what did you do?" I asked, anger evident in my face."What are you talking about? I didn't do anything," she denied."You're lying, I told you to keep one secret and yet you went about yapping about it to everyone?" The words came out of my mouth, dripping with anger."First of all I am not everyone, secondly I didn't even find out from her," Kent blurted."Of course you didn't," I scoffed."I did not say a word to him Onika," Laura sobbed.I couldn't explain what I was feeling, I was pained.

    Nathan's POV I leaned back in my office chair, fingers pressing against my temple as I skimmed through the quarterly financial reports. The numbers were solid, profit margins had increased, investments were stable, and the company was expanding into new territories. It should have been satisfying, it showed that everything I had worked for was bringing in profits but my mind kept drifting to her, Onika.No matter how much I buried myself in work, she was always there, lingering in the back of my thoughts like a ghost that wouldn't disappear. Was she okay? Was she eating well? Sleeping? Did she ever think about me? I clenched my jaw, shaking my head. This wasn’t the time, I had things to do.Forcing my focus back on the screen, I picked up my phone and dialed Henry, one of my top executives."Mr Nathan," Henry greeted. "I was just about to update you on the new partnership with the Miller Group.""Go ahead," I said, adjusting my tie."The negotiations went well, they’ve agreed to ou

    Onika's POVI sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the dimly lit screen of my phone, the notification from my bank was still there, I hadn't removed it, a silent reminder that my accounts had been unfrozen.I should have felt relieved, I should have felt victorious instead, I felt… lost. Money had never been the problem, it was what it represented. Freedom, independence. The ability to take control of my life again. And yet, now that I had it back, I wasn’t sure where to begin. Do I stay in Michigan? Start over somewhere else?Do I go back to New York and face the life I left behind?I clenched my phone tightly, pushing those thoughts aside.There was only one thing I knew for certain. The gallery, it was my dream, my project, something I had built with my own hands. It was more than just an art exhibition. It was something an everything and I wasn’t going to let anything or anyone take it away from me.Before I could overthink it, I unlocked my phone and scrolled through my contacts

    Onika's POV The soft hum of my laptop filled the quiet room as I scrolled through vendor lists, my fingers tapping mindlessly against the keyboard. It had been a while since I worked like this, really worked, apart from the little journalist job I took, then I wasn't the boss so I didn't make the decisions but now I was. It was first overwhelming but the familiarity of it grounded me. I had spent too long feeling lost, but now, with the gallery back on my mind, there was a renewed sense of purpose.My phone vibrated against the desk for the third time in the past twenty minutes. I didn’t even have to check the screen to know who it was. Amara.I sighed, picking up the phone and pressing it to my ear. "Amara, if this is about the caterers again..""It’s not," Her voice was sharp with urgency. "I mean, yes but also, no. Onika, listen Mr. Sam Damon is still in." I froze. "What?'"He’s still part of the investors," she said, excitement buzzing in her tone. "I just went through the upd

Something just felt... off.Maybe it was because I hadn’t stopped thinking about her, Onika.Her name alone was enough to make my chest tighten, I swore I wouldn’t let myself get caught up in these thoughts again, but it was like fighting a losing battle.
