ONIKA'S POVBy the time dinner was over, I was still staring at Damien, a frown on my face. He hadn't still explained what he was doing here.I had thought he would stay behind. Did Nathan ask him to come with me even though I had told him not to?The thought made me mad instantly and I felt like calling Nathan, not caring if he was busy or not.Laura who was still sitting beside me, kept staring at Damien, a dreamy look on her face. âYou look really hot right nowâŠâ she whispered, a smile on her face.That was the fifth compliment that she had thrown at him in the last two minutes but he hadn't replied to any one of them.I was more focused on my food and just enjoying this night but I knew that Kent wanted to say something.He was staring at me pointedly and when I couldn't put up with it anymore, I sighed and spoke up. âKent, can I see you outside?â I asked.He looked taken aback by my request, his eyes widening slightly. âWhat? Oh yeah sureâ he quickly said.I nodded and stood up,

NATHAN'S POVThe meeting was stressful as hell and by the time I had come back to the hotel that night, I was exhausted and ready to just have a good night's rest yet several thoughts plagued my mind, making sleep flee from me.Gina had been in my office as she had said yesterday and for once I thought the woman would have something to say but just as guessed, it was just to throw shade on Onika and say that I was making a big mistake by choosing Onika over her but it wasn't too late to change that.Luckily, I got her led out of the company before I could hear any more of that bullshit.Going to see my mum was another hill on its own and the conversation was seared into my brain.When I had gone there, she looked mad at me but she offered me food and made me sit down before she started telling me all the reasons why Onika wanted to ruin our lives but I had just cut her short, wanting to explain to her what I had said over the phone.âMum, that's not importantâ I had cut her off impati

ONIKA'S POV I was scared as I sat down in my office that morning, my mind kept mulling over the news, the gazes that my employees had given me when I walked into the company that day.This wasn't looking good for me right now.Amara knocked on the door to my office and walked in, her eyes tired but a smile on her face.âGood morning, ma'amâ She greeted cheerfully, a smile on her face as always.I rubbed at my face, not wanting to look as wanton as I felt. âIs there something going on? I don't have any meetings scheduled for nowâ I said, my voice hoarse Should I call Nathan? I had received his text but I had ignored it because I knew ri was certain that he had seen the news already so how would I explain it? Be knew that there was nothing between Kent and I, not like I cared what he thought but this was looking bad for my company.Fuck.What would people say? The press had made it like Kent and I were a thing which was far from the truth.The sound of Amara's voice brought me out of

ONIKA'S POVIt had been five whole hours,, and I had been occasionally checking my phone to know if the news would somehow come back, but it never came back, and I began to wonder if it was all just a dream.But as Amara came to inform me that the meeting would soon start, I realized it wasn't a dream,, and I would have to explain my partnership with M.r. Sam Damon and then this new issue that had just arisen.âI'll be there in 5 minutesâ I muttered to her, grabbing my phone from the table as I prepared to go to the meeting room.As I walked out of the office, I went straight to the meeting room and Amara was at the door already waiting for me.âMr Sam Damon has sent someone from his team to represent him as he's currently not in the country. His name is Mr Liam. He's inside with the shareholdersâ She informed me, giving me a heads-up.I nodded, thanking her before I walked in with her following closely behind me.Amara had taken her seat near the corner, her notepad in hand, ready to

ONIKA'S POV I wanted to protest and insist on using my car to go back to the mansion but the look on Damien's face as I opened my mouth made me stop and grudgingly hand over my car keys to him.âKeep it safeâ I grunted to him, suddenly feeling my happy mood float away into the sky at the recent change of things.He smiled and collected it, the sight a bit weird to look at. âDon't worry, I'll keep it safeâ He smirked. âThat's my jobâWithout waiting for a non existent reply, he walked out of the company, leaving me in the corridor.Silently muttering a curse under my breath, I walked to Amara where she was still talking to Mr Liam but she excused herself to come to me, leaving him to go over the documents she had given him for the financial reports fo finalize everything in that aspect.âYes ma'am?â She asked, her eyes curious and confused.I pointed to behind me. âMy fiance is here right now so I have to go now. Make sure to clock out once it's time, okay? Get some rest and please go

NATHAN'S POVThe next day, I had spoken to Mr Sam Damon and made the arrangements with him again, imploring him not to reveal it to anyone. Onika would be pissed off if she found out what I was doing and she would label me a liar and the last thing I was for that to happen.Besides, Mr Sam was benefitting from the arrangement also so it was a win-win for us both.When I had come back from work by evening, I had just come to pick Onika so we could get over with the meeting and go back home to relax.Onika was already getting ready for the interview. I came home by 5pm, she wasn't in the living room and when I had walked up the stairs to her room, I had heard the sound of the shower running which made me know that she was in the bathroom getting ready.I had seen her door open which was the reason why I had walked in to check on her, I noticed that the painting was still right there above her bed and then I noticed something on her bedside table so I went closer to it, realizing that it

ONIKA'S POV Both of them were looking like I had said the most shocking thing that they'd heard, but if I was to go by what Willow had done to me over the years, I would have treated her to a worse punishment to shame her publicly so people knew the monster that she was.Nathan didn't object, he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, a curse escaping his lips.âOnikaâŠâ he said, his voice low but warning like I shouldn't do something like that.If I did, Willow would probably look for more ways to make my life hell. We were way past that.Willow spoke up, interrupting my haze of thoughts. âIf you think that I will get on my knees for you to apologize to you just so you can marry my son, then you're poorly mistaken; Nathan would never let me do that; I'm his mother!â She hissed at me, all forms of mock apology gone from her face replaced by the bitch I was used to seeing.I matched her gaze, my eyes dim. âAnd what makes you so sure? Nathan wouldn't let you do that. You're important

ONIKA'S POVWillow had left the house immediately, cursing under her breath but I didn't care. She had done what I had said and now I was left with Nathan in the living room.He was sitting across from me, and he was staring at me. âLook, now she did it. Does that make you feel better?ââYes,â I raised my chin. âKeep your mum and the other woman in check, I don't want anything to do with your exâHe winced at that, clearly not liking the term as he probably didn't seem to like Gina that much anymore. That immediately got me thinking. What had she done that had made him break up with her? He was going to get married to her anyway before I came back in the picture. They had also been dating for a long time so what had happened?âYes, I'll do that,â he muttered, his voice defeated, like he was too tired to argue with me.âWhat did Gina do to you?â I suddenly asked without thinking, regretting the words once it was out of my mouth but the look of shock on his face was enough for me to kno

NATHAN'S POVI felt like a shell of myself the next day as I sat in my office.Believe me when I said I had tried to get some sleep but that was a luxury that I apparently couldn't afford because I had spent the night tossing and turning, my mind going haywire with thoughts. How was it possible that she hadn't checked into the hotel? I had gotten them to go to the nearby hotels but there was no trace of her. There was no way that she could have slept on the streets.Dread filled my veins and I felt true fear the previous night. I didn't believe that I could be this worried over someone but this was fucking Onika! Of course I would be worried about her! I fucking cared about her and now it felt like a part of me has been violently ripped out, leaving me without a vital piece of my life.I had spent the entire night waiting for a callâany damn callâfrom the people I had stationed in Barcelona, but my phone had remained frustratingly silent. Not a single update. Not from the men I sent t

NATHAN'S POVI pinched the bridge of my nose, sighing heavily, feeling my head ache as I paced across my study. The room was dim and it was dark outside already. I had a long day tomorrow, I had one more day to my wedding but my wife was still missing. Gods.I hit the dial button again, the phone ringing in my ear."Talk," I ordered the moment the call connected.A gruff voice responded on the other end. "Weâre still looking, sir. One of our men is sweeping the northern districts, while the other is covering the downtown area."I halted mid-step, my brain short circuiting. "What?""He insisted that splitting up would be more efficient. Said there were too many areas to coverâ""Goddammit," I muttered under my breath, gripping the phone tighter. "I gave a direct fucking order, and theyâre already doing whatever they want?"The man hesitated. "I told him itâd be best to stick together, butâ""Then why didnât you stop him?" My voice was dangerously low now, my patience thinning fast."He

ONIKA'S POVI drew my hoodie harder over my head, staring at the phone in my hands.The shop keeper kept telling me the details about the phone but that wasn't what I needed to hear, I just wanted him to tell me the fucking price so I could leave this place and go find a place to stay.Apparently getting houses at such short notice in this place was near impossible and I would have to go to the elite part of town because they would have more reservations. I had the money, I just needed to get this phone so I could head next to the hotel.Maybe I could ask this man for help on which hotel I could pick but the way he kept blabbing, urging me to buy the phone and bringing new suggestion had begun to piss me off not to mention that he was constantly cutting me off before he would pull out a better phone, eager that I buy a more expensive one.I couldn't blame him, I probably gave off the air of someone who could afford all these.With a sigh, I tugged my hoodie lower, gripping the phone i

NATHAN'S POVI nodded at my assistant, giving her a slight wave of the hand before muttering. âLet her inâI had successfully kept my mum out because I knew what she was going to say but I really did hope that Regina wasn't here for something like that or I'd have to kick her out.I barely looked up when Regina walked in, but I caught the way she shot my assistant a sharp glare before plastering on a fake smile as soon as she walked in."Thatâll be all, dear," she said sweetly, but I could tell she was pissed off that she had been kept waiting for about 5 minutes. Patience was just not one of her values. Even seeing her now as she had the guts to waltz in, made me sick to my guts when I remembered what she did.Regina turned to me, her smile widening. "Nathan."I leaned back in my chair. "Regina."She strode forward, sitting in the chair opposite me. She crossed her legs, dropping her small purse on my table, my eyes narrowing at the movement but I shut up about it unwilling to say an

NATHANâS POVI gripped my phone so tightly it nearly cracked. My knuckles were white, my patience nonexistent as I walked back into my office."Barcelona," I muttered, rubbing my temples. Onika was in fucking Barcelona.Seriously? Once more, I found myself complimenting her despite my shitty situation because damn, she was smart.Who would ever think to go look in Barcelona? It was such an unlikely choice for her so I could understand why she chose it but the problem was I didn't know where in Barcelona and I had been sitting here for a few minutes, contemplating if I should go straight into action or just make sure I was right first of all. Make sure she was actually in Barcelona.I thought about the flight line that Mr Sam Damon had supplied to me when I had asked what flight she had flown so that I could keep a track on her so I'd know what time the plane took off to time when she would be back. Big fat lie.I forced myself to take a deep breath before dialing the airport. It rang

AUTHOR'S POV Regina leaned back against the chair, her eyes shut close as she hummed to herself.She immediately sat up as Willow came into the room.âAre you okay? You look tenseâ Gina pointed out, her face contorted into one of mock concern.Willow collapsed on a nearby chair, burying her face in her hands. âI'm not fine, Gina. That bitch has ruined everything for my sonâ She lamented.Gina smiled to herself, this was going exactly as she wanted it to but she couldn't let Willow know that right now, even though they were practically partners in crime at this point, Gina knew that telling Willow about her plans would only lead to more questions which she couldn't answer right now because as usual, it would mean exposing herself.Who would have thought that it'd be this easy to trick everyone in the city by spreading a bit of fake but not so fake news. She wasn't wrong about one thing in that article but she would rather die than tell that to anyone.âOh, Nathan can at least see her

NATHAN'S POVâWhat do you mean she's not home?!â I yelled into the phone, my other hand running through my hair.Damien who was beside me looked just as panic stricken but he didn't show it, he was still as cool as ever but how I could be calm when Onika had suddenly disappeared. I didn't even know if she was safe and that was what truly bothered me.Was this what she was planning? That nightâŠ. Is this what she was thinking about? She was fucking smart and I would give her that. She had all of us fooled but I knew I couldn't blame her if she had actually chosen to run away. The pressure right now was too much on her but for her to not tell Laura? Damn, she was serious about this one.Laura could be in on it but as I saw her back into the store, tears pricking at her eyes as she looked at me with hope which quickly deflated when I shook my head, I knew she wasn't in on it. She looked just as struck on me.With a strangled sob, she leaned back against the wall, sliding down to the floor

ONIKAâS POV"This is insane." I muttered to myself, pulling my hoodie lower over my head as I walked through the busy airport terminal. If Paranoia was a person, it would be me right now. My heart was hammering in my chest and beads of perspiration rolled down my forehead as I pulled my hoodie lower to obscure my face more.I had done it. I had actually done it.No goodbye. No explanations. Not even to Laura. That was one thing I was yet to come to terms with yet because that was so wrong but I knew what would happen if I had told her that. She would be the logical one and tell me not to leave, she would be the one that tells me to stay and something in me told me that if she urged me to stay, I would so that's what I didn't tell her. She would be worried sick. And NathanâŠI swallowed, shaking my head as I moved toward the departure gates. Nathan would be livid. But I couldnât let that stop me. Not when I was one step away from doing what I wanted right now.I had to disappear.For go

NATHANâS POV"Mr Nathan, this is madness."I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. Across the desk, Richard Foster, one of the event planners I had hired, was staring at me like I had just suggested we hold the wedding in a burning building. Why was everyone so worked up about my wedding?"Itâs a wedding, not a business merger," he continued, tapping a pen against his notepad that was resting on the table. "Youâre giving me less than two days to finalize everything. The media frenzy alone is making it impossible to secure vendors without doubling the cost, and half of them are hesitant because of the recent scandal and the fact that they won't want to be caught upâ""Then offer them triple," I cut in flatly, arching a brow so I could look at him.Richardâs eyes widened. "Triple? Nathan, thatâs not how negotiations workâ""Thatâs exactly how negotiations work," I shot back. "You find their price, then you make it impossible for them to say no. Thatâs Business logics, Richard. I sugge
