"No, he isn't married, but heisin a relationship," I clarify."Oh," she says."I don't understand. How did you let guard down like this,” Bekah remarks, her confusion evident even over the phone."I know, right, but Nathan is… complicated. Well, we have a history. We used to be close a long time ago. But then things changed." I explain."Changed as in getting married to Jason?" Bekah 's voice become gentle, coaxing me to share more.I hesitate, torn between the urge to pour out my heartache and confess everything to Bekah . But, revealing that Nathan is Goerge 's father is not something I’m ready to share right now."Yes, something like that," I carefully reply. Choosing my words wisely."And then, well, last night happened," I add."Last night?" Bekah 's curiosity is once again piqued."Do I even want to know?"I let out a nervous laugh. It's always so easy to unburden my mind with Bekah it’s one of her special talent."Probably not. Let's just say things became really unprofessional
Contracted Husband Chapter 53
The memories of that night are etched into my mind, no matter how much I try to deny it. It was the most memorable night I’ve had in over eighteen years. As I step into the dimly lit dining room, hoping to find my dinner waiting, I’m taken aback to see Nathan sitting there. The anger that has been simmering beneath the surface threatens to boil over. He doesn't look up as I enter, his gaze fixed on the table. Suppressing the tumultuous emotions, I take a deep breath and calmly make my way to the table. I can feel his eyes on me, his presence like a heavy weight in the room. Refusing to give in to his silent scrutiny, I sit down and pretend like he isn't there as I wait for Mrs. Brown to bring in the food. I can feel his gaze burning into me, his silence louder than words. My hands grip the edges of the table, my nails digging into the wood as I summon all my strength to keep my composure. For a moment, we remain like statues, the tension between us palpable. Finally, he breaks the s

"I'm sorry. I'm just trying to collect my thoughts," I tell her. She sighs and locks eyes with me. "Nathan , if you've been avoiding me out of guilty towards Mildred, you should have had the decency to tell me,” she says firmly. "Mildred? No, it's not about that." I respond. She studies me intently, searching for something unsaid. "Then, why?" "I needed time to think. To process everything that's happened between us." I explain. Natalia seems to consider my words, because she nods and says, "I see." "I don't regret what happened between us," I add, my gaze never leaving hers. "But I need you to know that I'm not the same Nathan I was before. You left me years ago, and I can’t forget how unforgettable that time was for me. I am not sure how we ended up here, but we can't go back to what we were all those years ago." Her response is a measured nod. "Nathan I understand. I didn't expect things to go back to the way we were before. We've both changed." A faint smile appears at

"It does.""Perfect," I mutter in response. Ending this sooner may be for the best, as I don’t want to get too emotionally invested in all of this.I type quick responses to some of my emails as I wait for Natalia to join me. It's almost time for us to leave and she is nowhere in sight.Did she change her mind?I question in my head. I'm about to head to her room when she steps out into the hallway. My breath catches at the sight of her. She's wearing a stunning red dress that hugs her curves in all the right places. I'm momentarily lost for words, my usual composure slipping for just a moment."Hi, Nathan . I'm sorry I'm late," she says breathlessly. Her voice sends a beautiful sensation all over my body. For the first few minutes I'm tongue-tied as I take in her alluring beauty."Hi, it's…it's fine." My voice comes out like a whisper. I can't help it as my eyes openly sweep her body."You look amazing," I manage to say, my voice laced with sincerity.Her cheeks blush faintly as our ey

"Parker seems to be quite taken with you," I casually comment."Weren’t his intentions just to make polite conversation?" Natalia raises an eyebrow, her lips curving into a smirk."That was definitely more than just polite conversation. I’m just saying this based on my observations." I shrug, trying to appear nonchalant."Well, that's interesting, then," she chuckles. I frown wondering what is so intriguing about Parker flirting with her. The thought of her possibly being interested in him turns my mood sour.As we drive back to the beach house, the silence between us becomes tense. I can't shake the image of Parker's lingering attention on Natalia , and a knot of unease tightens in my stomach. Once we step out of the car and enter the beach house, I turn to face Natalia ."Natalia , can I ask you something?" The words tumble out before I can second-guess myself."Of course, Nathan ." She glances at me, her expression expectant.I pause for a moment, carefully choosing my words."You

"Nathan , things aren't always as what they seem. My marriage was a nightmare from the start. I despised Jason, but I had to obey him or else my father would have come after you," she says, her lips trembling slightly. I'm drawn to her, closing the gap without hesitation."I wish I could give you all the details, but it's not that simple. Please, trust me."She bites her lip, fear and uncertainty flickering in her eyes. The tension between us grows as I search for answers, but fear is all I see. Her marriage is over, her father is dead, so what has her so scared? Taking a deep breath, I imagine the horrors she must have faced."Fine, but please, when you are ready, I want to know everything," I relent, my voice softer now. I'm relieved when she nods."I want you so much, Nathan . You're the only man who affects me this way.""I want you, too, Natalia . In fact, I've failed every time I tried to resist. I can't deny what's between us, Natalia . It becomes harder to fight it each time."
