ONIKA'S POV

Nathan must have seen the way my face paled because the smile on his face wiped away and was replaced by a more serious expression.

"Who's that?" He asked, his voice soft as he nodded to my phone.

Almost instinctively, I clutched the phone to my chest, looking up at him. "Just a few friends... I uh... Should go take a shower before the driver gets here..." I straightened up, determined to keep my face impassive.

Nathan looked like he was almost about to call me out on my lie and argue with me but then he stopped and nodded, like he had accepted defeat and didn't want to push me further than I wanted to tell him.

Why didn't I want to tell him? It wasn't like I had anything going on with Kent but a small part of me still felt guilty because I knew that despite how Kent acted, he cared and he would be disappointed if he found out that I had forgiven Nathan and even gotten back together with him. Fuck.

I had not spoken to Kent in a while now since I got back from Barcelona. He

    ONIKA'S POVWith a sigh, I went to the door and opened it to see Nathan standing there, a small smile on his face."Hey" He smiled at me but the smile on his smile wiped off as soon as he saw the distraught look on my face."Are you alright?" He asked, raising a brow, his hand automatically rising up to touch my face.I didn't flinch away, instead I found myself leaning towards his touch, his hand was cold against my skin and I hummed in satisfaction at how right it felt.He furrowed his brows but he didn't pull away. "Are you alright?" He asked again.I pulled away and nodded, sighing. "Yeah, I'm fine. I think... Let's just go back to the mansion, hm?" I forced a smile at him.A smile creeped up his face and he leaned forward to press a quick kiss to my lips and to be honest, I wasn't expecting it but I leaned into it, kissing him back just as deeply. It just felt....right.Slowly, he pulled away and pressed his forehead to mine, his eyes searching mine. "Alright, meet me downstairs

    ONIKA'S POVMy eyes were wide with horror.What had I done?Nathan was right there, casually sipping his water, completely oblivious to the fact that I had just exposed myself in the most humiliating way possible. Meanwhile, on my phone screen, Laura’s mouth was hanging open like she had just witnessed a crime scene."Onika. What. The. Fuck?" Her voice came through the speaker, but it was more of a shriek.Oh, for fuck’s sake.I snatched up the phone, clutching it like I could somehow undo the last five seconds. “Uh—hey, Laura! Didn’t realize it was a video call! Haha, wow, technology, right?” I let out the most awkward laugh of my life even though my voice quivered.Could the earth just open up and swallow me?Laura didn’t even blink. She just leaned closer to her screen, her eyes narrowing. “Don’t ‘hey, Laura’ me. What the hell am I looking at?”“Nothing?” I tried, tilting the camera slightly away from Nathan who had sat back on the couch beside me, but it was too late.Laura’s eyes

    ONIKA'S POVThe next morning, I woke up to the feeling of warm lips pressed to my forehead and my eyes fluttered open to see Nathan staring down at me with a smile on his face."Good morning, sleeping beauty" He grinned, sitting up and stretching his arms above his head.It was morning already?I groaned, sitting up also, a yawn escaping me as I tried to get myself oriented with my surroundings again then I looked at him. "What are you doing so early?" I asked, my voice still groggy and full of sleep.He stood up and looked over his shoulder at me. "We're leaving today, you remember that, yeah?" He asked, his brows pinched together.Oh right... We were supposed to leave today. "Right, sorry I'm not myself right now yet" I apologized, throwing my legs off the bed, my limbs aching as soon as I stood up.He nodded, understanding what I was trying to say but there was no judgement on his face, just sheer amusement. "Get ready, breakfast is already done. Also your phone was ringing and I f

    ONIKA'S POVIt had been several hours on the flight and now we were on our way back to the mansion but surprisingly, it hadn't felt that way. Maybe it was the way Nathan kept throwing subtle glances at me when he thought I wasn't looking. Or the way he kept shifting in his seat, trying to get comfortable but failing miserably.Or maybe it was just the fact that I couldn't stop thinking about everything that had happened over the past few days.I looked out of the window. We were back in town meaning back with work and every bad thing that came with being in the country. Not like I could escape it anyways.Nathan was on a call, his voice low but firm as he spoke in hushed whispers. His fingers tapped against his knee, a telltale sign that something was bothering him.After what felt like a whole hour, he finally hung up and sighed, leaning his head back against the seat.I stretched my arms above my head and leaned back into the seat. "Is that work?"Nathan hummed in response, his gaze

    ONIKA'S POV “Welcome back, ma'am” Amara said, following after me the next morning, her gaze burning into my back as I walked into my office, my heels clacking against the tiled floor.“Thank you. Is everything that I emailed you about in place yet?” I asked, slumping down on the swivel chair. Who knew that I would miss this piece of shit eventually? It felt so comfortable under my touch now and I leaned my head back against the headrest.She looked through the stack of papers in her arms, pulling out a binded stack of documents which she dropped unto the table, pushing them towards me. “Yes, I tried my best to get everything ready and I just need your signature on that one” She nodded to the document she has kept on my table.I looked at it with an arched brow before I grabbed it, flipping through it, unsure where this had come from. “What is this?” I had to ask.I don't remember this. This was for contracting a new construction company, why would we need this?“We need the company t

    ONIKA'S POVConfusion warred with anger and disgust in me. Was she really going to come talk to me now?I folded my arms, tilting my head at Damien. “And what exactly does she want?”He shrugged. “Didn’t say. Just that she needed to speak to you urgently.”I scoffed. “Oh, I bet she does.”There was no doubt in my mind that this was about Regina. That viper had finally met her downfall, and now Nathan's mother was here, hoping to what? Plead her case? She couldn't talk to her son again? Pathetic.I moved back to my chair, dropping into it and rubbing my temples. “Tell her to leave. I have nothing to say to her.”Damien hesitated for a second, as if considering arguing, but then he nodded. “Alright.”He turned to leave, but just before he could step out, I heard her voice.“Damien, please
 just give me a moment with her.”Was she seriously begging him? Oh how the mighty have fallen.I clenched my jaw, already irritated. Damien glanced back at me, clearly waiting for a final word.“She s

    ONIKA'S POVAs soon as I stepped into the meeting room, all eyes turned to me. The long table was filled with shareholders, executives, and key members of the project team. At the head of the table sat Mr Sam Damon, his hand resting on the table. As soon as he saw me, he sighed almost visibly, clearly relieved to see me.He stood as I entered, offering a small smile. “Onika.”I nodded in acknowledgment and took my seat. “Mr. Damon.”His sharp gaze studied me. “I would have called you in sooner, but I wanted to make sure you had time to recover from
 everything.”His tone was polite, but the intentions behind his words were clear. Everyone in the room knew about the scandal, the drama, and the mess Regina had caused. Even if they pretended otherwise.“I appreciate that,” I said evenly. “But I’m fine. Business doesn’t wait.”A few murmurs of approval circled the table, but one of the shareholders, a middle-aged man named Greg, cleared his throat. “Actually, since we’re on the subject of

    Onika's POV "Let's leave this place" I said to Nathan feeling nauseous after see so much blood. I still can't believe that Gina killed herself just like that. Even though she made my life a living hell from the beginning, I was still willing to forgive her but she ended her own life just to escape prison. I feel like I'm the one to blame for this. Nathan held my hand in a comforting manner "it's not your fault Onika she brought it upon herself" he said leading me out of the hospital.

    Onika's POV I braced myself for death.Tears streamed down my face as I waited for the gunshot that would end my life. My chest tightened, my breaths coming in shallow gasps. My child... they wouldn’t get to see the world, to take their first breath, to feel my love.It was heartbreaking.I squeezed my eyes shut.But the bullet never came.“What the hell?” Gina's voice dripped with rage.My eyelids fluttered open, and through my blurry vision, I saw her shaking the gun, pulling the trigger repeatedly. Nothing happened.The gun was empty.A dry laugh escaped my lips before I could stop it.Gina’s furious gaze snapped toward me, and for a split second, I saw something else beneath her anger, panic. She hadn’t expected this.Her face twisted, and before I could react, she struck me hard across the face.Pain exploded in my skull, my head snapping to the side. Blood filled my mouth, the sharp metallic taste making me gag. I gasped, blinking through the ringing in my ears.“Just wait, Oni
