ONNIKA’S POVThe car ride was utterly silent as we weaved through the traffic, but I was painfully aware of his leg brushing against mine, and I was beginning to wonder if he was doing it on purpose, but his gaze remained glued to the passing scenery outside the window.I couldn't deny the heat from where our bodies made contact, and I really didn't like it, so I jerked my leg away from his, a scoff escaping my lips.He turned to me at the gesture, confusion in his features. “What happened? Are you okay?” He asked, looking me over.In an attempt to avoid his gaze, I pulled my phone out of my purse and started randomly clicking through stuff on social media. “Your leg was touching mine”“Is that such a bad thing? You didn't mind when we were dating” He muttered under his breath, looking out the window again.I snapped my neck to look at him, a scowl fast forming on my lips. “Yeah, thanks for the reminder, Nathan. That was two years ago, don't give me that shit now” I reminded him.He t
Regina's POV "WHAT THE FUCK?" I yelled as I stared into my phone.The pictures of Nathan and some woman were on every tabloids and blogs I know with the caption, "THE PLAYER HAS FINALLY BEEN BAGGED."These pictures looked like pre-wedding photos and you could see Nathan and this strange woman staring into each others' eyes and smiling so brightly at each other, making my stomach turn.I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this. I felt my anger grow right inside of me, threatening to explode any moment from now.Out of anger, I smashed my phone to the ground causing it to shatter into pieces. A phone was the least of my problem; I could easily get another one. "Why would Nathan do something like this? Is it because of what he saw the last time? Oh come on, I was just playing around a little and having some fun. What's so wrong about that?" I yelled to myself.I needed answers and I needed them immediately. In order for me to get the answers I needed, I knew just the right person to m
Onika's POV "So are you sure you're okay over there? I hope Nathan is not giving you any troubles," Kent asked me.We were talking over a video call then he has been doing this I was since I moved into Nathan's mansion. It would call everyday to ensure that Nathan was being gentlemanly towards me. "There are no troubles over here at least not for the meantime," I replied."I wish I could be there with you too make sure that nothing goes wrong," he said.I simply smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me. Everything is fine.""Okay. If you say so. So what are your plans for today?" He asked.Just as I was about to answer his question, the doorbell rang. Who would be ringing the doorbell? It was obviously not Nathan. Because he wouldn't ring the doorbell at his own house.So who could it be, I thought again.After a while, I didn't hear the doorbell ring again so I thought whoever was at the door had left already."Who was that?" Kent asked."I don't know. Maybe it was some
Onika's POV Willow looked at me with so much anger that I thought she was going to explode. She turned to look at Nathan, hoping he was going to say something but he didn't.She scoffed and without another word said, she turned around and walked out of the house, leaving me and Nathan standing beside each other.Despite the fact that I was able to stand up to her, I was still very much upset. I could feel my anger rising."Onika, I'm sorry about my mother. I didn't know she was coming. If I had known, I'd have come home earlier to stop her from attacking you," Nathan said but I ignored him.I tried to walk away but then he grabbed my arm and in annoyance, I slapped his hands away."Get your hands off me, Nathan. Don't you have a touch me again. Remember what we have is a contract. You don't have any right to touch me except when we are to make public appearance. Got it?" I said to him, angered."Sure. I'm sorry. I just wanted to make sure that you are okay," he said, looking at me in
Nathan's POV Although she was right, I couldn't help but feel bad about the way she said it. But I understand why she's like that. I deeply hurt her by breaking up with her the way I did.It was the most horrible way to end things with someone you're in a relationship with. I just hope with time she'd be able to forgive me, especially now that we'd be working together to keep my position in the company.Just then, I heard the snapping of fingers and I was pulled back to reality."Are you even listening to all I've been saying?" Dion asked me.I looked around me and noticed I had zoned out in the middle of an important business conversation with my best friend and partner, Dion.I shook my head to get rid of the remaining thoughts of Onika and our last encounter."Sorry Dion. I think I just zoomed out for a second. Remind me what we were talking about," I said trying to sound as nonchalant as possible. "Zoned out for a second? Are you kidding me? You've been staring into space for th
Onika's POV I was on my phone, scrolling through Wattpad reading an interesting novel when my phone suddenly began to ring.It was Kent.I immediately picked the call, wondering what he was calling about. "Hi Onika," he greeted. "Hello Kent," I replied."Can you quickly come downstairs for a minute?" He asked."What?" I asked confused.Downstairs? I thought. What is he talking about? I wondered."Just come downstairs. I have a surprise for you," he said."A surprise?" I asked, wondering what this surprise would be."Yes, a surprise," he repeated."Okay then. I'll be down in a minute," I replied, still confused.I couldn't help but wonder what kind of surprise he had for me. I immediately got out of bed, adjusted my dressing to appear more decent and made my way downstairs. When I got downstairs, I heard the doorbell ring. Since he said he had a surprise for me, I thought it was the delivery person at the door. But when I opened the door, I was dumbfounded to find Kent standing at
Nathan's POV Walking into the house and seeing Onika in the hands of another man made me so enraged. I couldn't even describe the anger I felt when I saw her in another man's embrace.It was as if I had been possessed by a wild, driven by alpha instinct to claim what is mine.I didn't even realize what I was doing until Onika slapped me across the face, pulling me back to reality. It was then I realized I had almost killed a person.Seeing her tend to him make me so upset but I controlled my temper. I didn't want to scare Onika anymore. I saw the fear in her eyes when she slapped me.When she turned to look at me and asked me why I did what I did, ingot up because she was taking his side and asked her if she liked him.She froze for a second, probably taken off guard by the question I had asked. Then she replied,"I don't see how my personal life is any of your business.""What?" I asked with a confused expression on my face. "You heard me. My private life is none of your business.
Onika's POV The moment Willow and Gina walked into the house, I knew trouble was about to begin. The mere sight of them made my blood boil.When Willow said all those things about me being a slut and Kent being my secret lover, I realised that if I didn't leave at that point, I'd commit murder so I said my piece and walked away.Nathan tried to stop me but I didn't budge. He didn't even try to defend me from his mother, which made me even more pissed.When Kent and I were finally out of the house, I took a deep breath and exhaled so deeply. I was trying to release all the tension and anger in me."Wow, that was really intense," Kent said but I didn't respond to that."Are you okay?" He asked me and I turned to look at him."I should be the one asking you that. You were the one who received a great amount of beating," I said."Oh, this is nothing. You had to listen to a lot of crap from that woman. Is this how she's been treating you since you agreed to this contract?" he asked, a con
Nathan's POV "What's are you waiting for Onika, it's almost 7 pm you would be late for our dinner" I said to Onika, it was almost 7pm and she wasn't ready yet. "I'm coming she said walking down the stairs making me open my mouth in awe" she was wearing a long white flowing gown it was armless. Though her dressing was simple she still looked really elegant and beautiful in it. I felt so happy that she was going to belong to me soon, she's going to be my wife, my partner and the mother to all my children and I'm going to make everyday of her life a beautiful fairytale. "If you keep staring like that then I'm not sure we would be able to get to our destination before 7" she said teasing me. "It's not my fault, I just can't help but stare at the beautiful angel in my front. You look so beautiful honey" I said pecking her cheeks. Holding her hand we walked to where our car was parked entering it we went to our destination. As we arrived at the Cable Beach, Onika's eyes widened in aw
Onika's POV Nathan still wouldn't tell me where he was taking me to he kept insisting that he was a surprise and that I should just be patient and see what was going to happen. "Are you sure you don't want to tell me were we are going Nathan?" I asked for the hundredth time while on the flight. "Just be patient Onika, you would know when you get there" he said with a smile on his face. As the plane touched down, I couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement. Nathan still hadn't revealed our destination, but the warm tropical air and palm trees visible from the plane window hinted at a paradise. We collected our luggage and made our way to the taxi stand, where Nathan finally revealed our destination: Nassau, the capital city of the Bahamas.The taxi ride to our resort was a blur of colorful buildings, lively music, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore. As we checked into our luxurious beachfront villa, I couldn't wait to start exploring. Nathan handed me a tropical fl
Nathan's POV I couldn't stop myself from laughing when they both looked at me as if they had heard something bad. "I'm just joking no need to be so serious about it" I said making Laura laugh also."Well I was already planning the way you were going to carry the next baby," Onika said looking at me mischievously. "Com'on ladies can we go and do what we came here for, we need to check the wedding dress fitting for Onika today." I said they both needed. Soon the designer called Onika to come over to try her out her wedding dress. Onika came out of the dressing room looking like an angel the long white dress fitted her perfectly. It was an off shoulder fitted dress with a cape around the waist. I could help but open my mouth agape in shock. "The dress looked perfect on you" I complimented her and she blushed shyly. She change to her old dress while the receptionist packed the wedding dress into a shopping bag. "So my Onika is finally going to have her happy ending and even her dre
Onika's POV It was already time for me to be discharged from the hospital. Nathan has been very happy since the birth of our child, he has always been around, he even went as far as learning how change diapers saying he wanted to act like a normal father and not a billionaire. This act makes my heart melt in love and happiness. My Nathan was no longer the proud and arrogant father, he was now a loving and doting father. "Lucas get the car ready, we need to get going now" Nathan said to his assistant as he carried Daniel in his arms. We finally decided to name our child after Nathan father. Daniel it was such a nice name. Nathan mother was very happy and touched when she heard the name we gave to our child. "Your dad will be so proud and happy when ever he is" she said with a smile on her face. We need to get going now Onika Laura said with a smile on her face. We walked out of the hospital only to be met by the media outside. "Congratulations Miss Onika on giving birth to your
Onika gives birth Nathan's POV Four months later. "Com'on Onika can't you be any faster we need to go shop for child's clothing" I called out from downstairs. I've been waiting for her to get ready for over an hour now. She's already in her due month and she could give birth anytime in this month. We were able to find out the child's gender even though we didn't mean to. Onika's was feeling really skin and we had to do a scan on her that was how we found out about our child's gender. We even did our child's gender reveal party a week ago, everyone was happy especially my mom and her best friend Laura. "Will come and drive me to the boutique or will you keep on day dreaming about God knows what." Onika said smiling looking a bit irritated. She is easily irritated by things these days, I asked my mom about it she said it's because of her pregnancy. I could only nod in confusion not understanding pregnant women and there mood swings.As we arrived at the boutique, Onika's irrita
Onika's POV Nathan mother was standing at the door smiling sheepishly at me, I thought I was dreaming until she spoke up "can I come in?" She asked. I could only nod my head walking back inside as she followed me quietly. "Who's that babe?" Nathan asked while serving the dish on the table."Nathan" his mother called from the living. Making Nathan look up in shock, it was obvious that he had no idea that his mother was coming. "What are you doing here mum?" He asked his face looking stern. "Can't I come to see my son and my future daughter in-law" she said making both of us look up in shock. She walked over to the dinning table sitting on down to have breakfast with us, "will you keep on standing or will you both join in for breakfast" she said serving food into her plate. As we sat down at the table, the tension was palpable. Nathan's eyes were narrowed, and his jaw was clenched. I could tell he was still upset with his mother.Willow, on the other hand, seemed determined to ma
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. Nathan drove us back to the house in silence, he seems to be contemplating on what to say. "How are you feeling now?" I asked smiling a bit. "I'm okay, I just had bruises on my stomach and my head" he said making me look up at the bandage on his head. It was already turning red now. It seems his wound has reopened. I made a mental note to myself to change it when we get home. As we arrived home, Nathan seemed to be struggling to keep his balance. He was weak and pale, and I could tell that he was in
Nathan's POV I opened my eyes slightly looking around to see the doctors and nurses walking around my room carrying trays with some medical stuffs on them. "Doctor, Mr Nathan has regained consciousness" one of the nurses said calling the attention of the doctor. He came closer to me checking my vitals and injures to see how I was doing, "thank goodness mr McAllison you woke up sooner than we expected. Do you know where you are or do you recall anything?" He asked. "Calm down doctor I haven't lost my memory yet" I replied him jokingly looking around the room in search for onika. "Any problem Mr McAllison?" He asked when he noticed me looking around confused. "Where is onika, doctor?" I asked him as he looked at me confused. "The police contacted Miss onika when you got an accident but she is yet to come Mr Nathan" the doctor said. "What that can only mean that something bad had happened to onika, call my assistant for me" I said feeling really anxious. "Sir, you are awake, are
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
