Nortia's POV “ Really?” I had both hands on my waist as I questioned because I should have known, when he had that wide grin on his face and he had handed me that card which I knew didn't have a limit that this was his plan. “ I have enough already” “ Not enough to me and besides I haven't seen you in any, so what's bad with me getting you some? And watching you as well?” “ It's a lingerie shop, I am not supposed to be here” “ Why? Because you are with me?” “ Aside that, I am not supposed to be here”“ Then where are you supposed to be?” He teased, throwing banters at me because I wasn't seeing it anyway else. He leaned against my ears, whispering. “I will get the chance to see your perky ass in such fitted fine clothing, wouldn't it be a sight for me?” I turned around, sending him laser glares because he was pissing me off already before tugging me alongside with him. “ Welcome” a girl who stood at the door greeted me when we walked in, her eyes flipped from me to Alexis.
Alexis's POV I knew right away that she was going to be the end of me somehow and I had to do everything to get out of here before it escalated, she was just like a drug to me, one that I would never get tired of taking and would get used to. I let out a sigh when she jerked, scooping her juice as I slipped it in-between my lips while making sure she was looking me straight in the eye. She threw her face away, attempting to hide when I held her back, making sure she wasn't going to tear her face off. “ Let's get you dressed so we can go on a proper date” I said to her, giggling inwardly because it was something I knew she didn't have a clue about. Making her work in circles was just a part of the plan which was supposed to get her mind off whatever we had going, I didn't want her to know what I had in mind. Her eyes melted into shock at my words before she questioned. “ Really? Are we going out?” “ A proper date” I stood up to my full height, deciding to pack up the lingerie
Nortia's POV One more night and we would be out of here, I didn't want this to end, it was everything and I knew it had helped us so I found myself saying while the voice of Noah screaming dawned in the background. “ I will miss this when we are back home” “ We can always go away on random vacations such as this” he explained, slamming the nail where exactly I wanted it. “ Sure?” “ Yes, every weekend we can, as long as you are fine with it and you are ready to go with me, I don't see any problem with that” I let him hold my hand, stretching the box of pizza at me. “ I am going to add more weight after this” I pouted, trying to get the pizza when he handed it back. “ I will always love you the same way, it isn't going to change, the love I have for you is always going to be above that” he said to me. My eyes flooded with crystals pooling underneath it at the words he had just said. “Beside, we can always hit the gym if you want us to, all you have to do is say the words and I
Nortia's POVMonday finally came and I hated so much that we had to go back home, I had considered this as my home and was looking forward to making even more memories here. I was so sure Alexis's mother would be happy to see that her plan worked out the way that she wanted and we had bonded just well. Alexis had said something about the housekeeper reporting to her and that I wouldn't have to do much. I threw my head around one more time, waving to the housekeeper and the gardener who stood waving off at me. I was trying to hide the fact that it would look so awkward if they found the post pills but on second thought, we were married so it was justifiable. “ It seems Samantha wants to give this a try, because she seems so eager to meet with your parents before her marriage, do you think she would be trying to make them like her so she can push me off?” I couldn't help but ask as we got into the car, the driver zoomed off. It was the early hours of the morning and we had to be
Alexis's POV I thought I had talked too much when I wasn't even supposed to until she leaned closer, hands on my cheek before she placed gentle kisses on my face. I beamed at her, the same time the car came to a stop in front of her workplace before she rushed out. I watched her walk in, making sure she was safe and fine inside the walls of her workplace before I gave orders for the driver to move. “ Wait” I said abruptly when I noticed her guards already waiting outside with her driver, they were both skilled martial arts experts and I knew that when the situation arose, they would be able to make sure Nortia was fine. Maybe when it came to it, I would get a way to make sure he knew how to defend herself as well. I hoped it wouldn't come to the situation where she would have to, but just making sure that was going to be better than putting her in harm's way. “The next few days to come are going to be rough and I want you to stay by her side always especially when she isn't with
Nortia's POV I went about the rest of my day with a smile hanging on my lips because my days before today had been eventful. I chewed on my lips, singing to myself when I noticed eyes glossing at me again but I didn't care, they were beginning to do this a lot and it was better that I forgot about them at the moment. A further glance around and I noticed they hadn't stopped, until heels clicked down and I saw Samantha at my door, looking all dashing but she was also the devil incarnate to me. “ Well, well, who do we have here? The pretentious girl? How exactly did you get Alexis to stay with you even after he saw what you had done?” My hand stopped on the keypad as I turned to her. “ That's because unlike you I don't cheat, have you heard about anything like your husband's father or your father in law? I am sure there is a term like that but you haven't heard it yet because you haven't even met Maxwell's father,” “Who told you that? I have and you are just saying words you can't
Alexis's POV I had thrown all the caution to the wind as I strolled across immediately the car had come to a halt just in front of the company, not mine but hers, a few questions with some trying to shove up their boobs at me when they noticed who I was had me over here. I haven't seen her panic the way she did and so I knew I had to do something, that had led me to saying; “ I am here for my wife, Nortia Williams” every eyes had turned to me with Nortia almost dropping on the chair when I said that,was that good news or was I supposed to be getting up and walking away right now?I checked her eyes for what exactly it was and which one I was to go with but I couldn't get anything from her eyes so I had to go with the notion that she was fine and I wasn't supposed to be worried about anything. My eyes went to Samantha who seemed to have been brewed in rage and toppled out, drawing closer, she had a smile on her face before she said “ My cousin is all over here, I am trying to get
Nortia's POV I knew that the relief I felt had stemmed from the fact that my co workers had been shocked to see Alexis, there happened to be a satisfaction from what I had just witnessed that I never knew was there. Samantha had been aggrieved, pissed even and I was glad that Alexis had used the moment to my advantage, so what exactly was wrong with me going to his workplace? Since it was in the open already. “Your mum?” “ She's okay, didn't say a word to my father though because she said it would have him mad”“ At me or at you?” “ Both of us, he hates deceit more than anything” “ But we are trying to make this work, I mean, you can tell and we are putting in the effort,” I explained. Anyone could see that, maybe this would turn out just fine the way that we wanted, the one where we both loved each other and we had to be by each other side by the way through. I didn't know where the car had ended up but it looked like an underground parking lot which might lead to his office
Nortia's POVGenevieve was at the door immediately the word slipped out, tapping on it. I could tell how glad she was at what had just happened and I couldn't wait to go out to let her know. Slipping the test kit in-between my palm, I pulled the door open, when she stood in front of me. “ You are pregnant?” I could sense the hesitation in her tone, the one that wasn't there when she told me to confirm. “ Will it be bad if I say I am?” “ How exactly will that be bad? It will change everything, every single thing, it will. Life will be meaningful again, it will be worth living again” “ Ahaha” I let out, trying not to show that her words have been off in a way because she had said something about life being meaningful again.“ What do you mean by it will change everything? Is there something I don't know about?” It seems I was kept in the dark about something everyone else knew but I didn't have any idea about. “ No, of course not. Why would you even think that? All I am saying i
Nortia's POV Another day went by and Alexis was nowhere to be found, with each day that ran past, I was left thinking about my actions and his as well. Reaching him has been impossible as all the calls bounced back to me with an excuse of him working. I would have gotten his mother to talk to him, but I knew it would make matters worse than it already was so I clung onto that one part of me that believed he was busy and maybe when he is done, he will come back to me. Even when it was difficult to think about it that way, I shove away the thought that accumulated which was all streamlined to him cheating on me, he wasn't a cheat, that was something I could attest to. He could be a whole lot of things but the man I was married to was not a cheat as he had proved it on countless occasions and I have been made to know what he would be capable of and what he wouldn't be capable of. When the bell had rung out announcing someone at the door, I shoved the pillowcase on my leg away bef
Alexis's POV “Have you thought about what to do yet?” Getting out of the house has been hard to make but I have done so, stretching it into weeks. I have been trying to think about what exactly I was to do but every single thing came to a stop at the same point, that I had no business keeping Nortia with me. If I was to protect Genevieve, letting Nortia go was the only issue I was posed with and what I had to make sure happened “ Get the lawyer, it is difficult for me to do this, but I have to let her go” “ There have been requests to see you, most of which are from her and she sounds heartbroken” “ Pass them over” I instructed before flipping my head around as I reached for the landline while placing it against my ears. Nortia's voice came out fine at first but it ended up with her telling me about how her day went and when I will be back to see her, my hands clenched the phone as I wished that was going to be all. That just listening to this would have me running home but I
Alexis's POV My heart dipped while I watched her rush past, trying to get past me into the lift before she turned to me, her face lighting up with a smile before she exhaled. “ I loved how today ended, I will love to do this more often with you” “ We will’ I answered, just so she won't think anything was wrong judging by how quick she was to get that. “ Sure?” She turned to me, flipping her head to the side. “ Will you go with me more often? The next date is on me.” “ Nortia” my eyes clogged with crystal on it which I shoved away because she was doing every single thought to make me have a change of heart even when she had no idea what I had planned and it wasn't even helping. I had promised, to make sure she had no regrets, given her my words that I was the only one who will never hurt her, and had seen through to it, I have intended to see though to that to the very end but it seems I couldn't, things just didn't work out the way one wanted it. “What’s wrong? Your eyes, did
Alexis's POV “Of course not” I answered, was that even possible? A life where I would be tired of her? Even if all she had to offer was her shenanigans, I was ready to go along with it all. I would bear it all as long as it meant her being by my side. I thought I was doing a good job, hiding my emotions and everything that I had to battle with. My mother had stomped after me wanting to know what had happened after Genevieve had burst into tears but I knew there was no way I could tell her, she would be as heartbroken as I was right now.“Why would you even think about that? How is it possible for me to get tired of you?” “ Then what do you want me to think?” Her lips parted as she questioned. “ I know you might take it as me overthinking, but I am not. I know you like the back of my palm, Alex. I do” “ And I am telling you everything is fine, you don't have to worry yourself about anything” She let out a sigh before turning to the side. “If that's what you are going to say, t
Nortia's POV I woke up to the bed empty, and cold, with Alexis nowhere to be found. Pushing myself up the bed, I searched around, calling his name to find out where he was but I got no answer. Sighing, I turned to the side,my reflection in the mirror as I did so. The dress I was to wear today hung by the side, a red gown to compliment my curves, one which ran straight to my knees and had a slit running up to my thighs. Hiding in a giggle, I selected a blue one for Alexis, one which I was so sure will work in tandem with his skin color.Pouting, I waited for him to walk in which was to no avail, letting out a rasp breath, a hand underneath my chin, I made my way to the window, flinging it wide open. We were supposed to have left earlier on,seeing how the sky had inked, I wondered if there was going to be any need. I was really looking forward to this, fiddling with my hands, I decided to take a shower, I felt sticky and stiff in a giggle, I did. The warm water aided in soothing my
Alexis's POV While her chest heaved gently, signifying that she was asleep, I laid beside her watching the angel in human form which laid beside me, the one I could never bring myself to hurt. Her hair laid all about her, spread out as her lashes flustered at intervals, my hands hung up in the air while I tried to tap her just hard enough to wake her up, but I decided against it, it was better that I let her sleep rather than wake her up. Her chest still pinked from how intense it had been ,the memory of my hands clasped around her hair in a fist before it ran all the way to her throat while I slipped in and out of her had me biting into my lips.She had this way of making me feel like a child, every moment with her made me want to spend more time with her, and when she wasn't close to me, I felt suffocated and it was difficult to breathe. My phone ringing slashed through the air, grasping my hand around it. I watched her for a second before I placed it against my ear after slipp
Nortia's POVGiven how suspicious she was acting, I knew something was off, but I tried everything to get their mind off her as they walked away. I knew Alexis would want to pry in but she wouldn't want him to know about her partner yet, it wasn't time for him to do so, as she thought he wouldn't be pleased with him. “ Is something wrong?” He turned to me, wanting to know what I thought about what had just happened but I shook my head. “ She's fine. You don't have to bother yourself about that, I will talk to her and get to know what exactly is going on”He didn't seem pleased but he didn't say one more word as we stood waving them off. When their car was out of sight, he turned to me, grasping me around the waist as he led me in. “ Alexis” I tried to get him off when he stuck adamantly. “ I've missed you” he inhaled into my shoulders. “ What about me did you miss the most?” I wrapped both hands around his neck, yanking him closer to me. “When I saw you today, strapped to the
Nortia's POV“ I'm fine” I kept assuring Genevieve who seemed to be extra clingy at the moment. “ Are you sure? Your face looks so off, and your hand, the straps, were they so painful? How about I take you to see the doctor?”“I have a band aid on, one you placed yourself, so why are you panicking this much?” “ I just want to be sure that you are fine, that's all, nothing else” she pouted before dropping to the couch, letting out an exhilarating sigh.“ Can't he be locked up or something? That was kidnapping and he is also the one who planted the bomb right? Isn't that enough reason?” I had flickered my gaze at her in an instant. “ You know who did it?” I haven't mentioned it since I stepped in here and I knew Alexis hadn't done so either so where had she gotten it from. Her lips parted in a gasp before she turned to her mother who looked just out of place like I was which meant she knew nothing about what she had just said. “How did you know who had done it, Genevieve?” “ Com
