Nortia's POV

I waited for him to give an answer while knowing that whatever it was that he had in mind wasn't going to be nice at all.

I didn't want anything that would hurt him but I will be fine with showing him a lesson just so he wouldn't do it anymore.

“ I wouldn't hurt him, but I will make sure he gets a punishment that will make him wish he is dead”

“ Which is?”

“ All the contracts he has with me or any of my affiliated companies,I am going to cancel them all”

I gulped in, knowing that the company was meant to be mine from the start and any action he took now might affect me in the future.

“ I know what you are thinking about,” he rested a palm on my cheek, massaging it gently.

“ What is that?”

“ That it will affect you, but it won't. You don't have to worry about it, I won't hurt you and that's it. I am going to make your uncle have regrets. You aren't in charge yet so you don't have to feel bad”

He explained, I wanted to believe in his words, and in him because unlike

    Alexis's POV I knew from the moment I had seen her that way it had to be just someone who could make her that way. I knew it would take time for her to fall in love with me but I was really hoping that it would happen soon enough. I needed her to fall for me and I will do the same for her. My feelings were raging and although I was yet to come to them with what they were, I knew she caused them all. Being with her was the reason why I had gone through so much feeling all at once, most of which felt foreign to me .“ Alexis” she whispered my name as I slipped my tongue in between her lips, wanting and tasting her. She was everything that I was supposed to stay away from, the fruit which wasn't supposed to be mine or close to me but I found myself drawn to her every single time. My hand cupped her boobs as I tugged her up before letting her go, just enough for her to catch her breath, she stood panting before she dropped to the floor. “If you are this way just because we had som

    Nortia's POV Just like Alexis had said, when I was awake, they were right out there waiting for me. He hadn't even taken so long to find them, I thought it would take some time to do so but it seemed I had been wrong.I didn't want to think about how exactly last night had gone because he had looked so pissed but I knew I couldn't just move in with him. He wouldn't be able to make me have a change of heart and it was going to take more than just a plea to make that happen. “ Let's go,” I said to them. The guard sat at the passenger seat while I had to sit at the back. I guessed he was trying to make sure that I didn't go with the doctor, he was trying to cut off my communication with him and I didn't know if that was jealousy as well. “We will be going shopping later in the day,” the guard announced to me. “Will you be chanced, madam?” “ I wouldn't be” I guessed I had to get used to being called this way, I didn't know what my coworkers would say and how they would look at me

    Nortia's POV Amend? That was like the last thing I was expecting to hear and there was also no way I was going to believe that. I scoffed, making sure that it was loud enough for him to hear, I could see his fist clenched before I answered. “ The last thing I think you will do is make amends, I don't believe an iota of what you just said” Samantha had her hands underneath her boobs as she gazed at me, eyes piercing through me. “ I know what you are possibly going to say, but you should know as well that there is no way we are going to give you anything else aside that, beside…” her shoulders went in a shrug. “ We are being lenient with you, who exactly would be able to do that with you if it isn't us?”“Stop it” her father admonished, giving her a gentle nudge on the arm as he did so “ Nortia, I shouldn't have treated you in such a way and I have only realized my mistake now, and it wouldn't happen ever again” he apologized. I couldn't sense the sincerity in those words he had

    Nortia's POV The click of the door sent rage down my spine as I flipped my head round, taking a good look at him. “What do you think you are doing? Did you really trick me into coming here? Using your grandmother, is that how low you can go!” I raged at him, waiting for an answer when he chuckled, inching closer. “I knew you would be this way, but I am glad I got you here. Now tell me Nortia, why is it Alexis? How could you even get married to him? What exactly about him did you find so different that you had to end up with him?”“ Because he is better than you, for a start, he doesn't cheat and…” tiny ripple of cackles rented the air at what I had just said. “ You think he is better than me? Really? Can't you see? He saw you as someone easy to get and you fell into his trap, it's a trap Nortia, one that I can help you get away from, all you have to do is come back to me, I know there's no way you are married to him and…”“ I'm married to him” I answered, looking straight into hi

    Alexis's POV My eyes went to the ruffled shirt she had on and the hand that wrapped themselves around her tightly and I gnashed my teeth. I hated how she was trying everything in her to piss me off when she wasn't supposed to do such, I seethed in rage which shimmered above me before my feet sauntered over to her. “ What's wrong?” I could see she was close to tears and she was trying hard not to let them fall. My gaze travelled to the doctor as I wondered if he was the one who had just her but I couldn't deduce anything right now. I swallowed, yanking her to myself, I asked again.“ What is wrong?” I waited for her to give an answer when they ran down her cheek, in torrent they did. “Back off, leave. Now!” I ordered, my voice booming across as I said to them. They scampered away, the doctor, the guard and her driver as well. My anger evaporated when she squeezed my shirt, grasping it so tight that my hands fell to her lower back. I shook my head, trying so hard not to think ba

    Nortia's POV I never knew it would come back to bite me, the pain I felt was forgotten for a while as my mouth fell wide agape. “You can't do that, I can't move in with you, that wasn't in the contract and you know that as well” I accepted the blazer he threw over my shoulders, my heart warmed at what he had done, before I chided myself, getting that behind me. “Then there is no way I am going to come with you to your uncle's place, there has to be something that would be enough to get you to concede to what I want and although I hate that I have to do this, it is the only way I can get you to move in with me, I hate to be petty but you are leaving me with no choice than to do this”His hands rested on my shoulders while he stared at me. “ I know this isn't what you want, I do know, but I have to get you close to me somehow, I need you where I can protect you, where I will be able to sleep, walk knowing that you are fine, Nortia” his words came in a rush at me. “ Look at you” he

    Alexis's POV Her eyes widened at what she had just said, her voice muffled as well while she peered at me with eyes so tender that it had me at a loss at what to say or do. “ Is something wrong?” I had thought I was doing something worthwhile while doing this, but it seemed like I had done something I shouldn't have done. Her tears lightened as she sniffed, dragging them in before she said to me;“ I have never had anyone do this for me, no one has ever made me feel this way, feel cherished at all”she bared her emotions at me. My hand hung above her head while I was left thinking about what I was to do in such a situation, was this a good thing or a bad one? “ I can have it renovated if it isn't fine by you, the decorators will be here in an instant and you no longer have to worry about it” I answered her.Letting her know that I was fine with it if she wasn't at all. I had been wrong, should have asked if she wanted to do so before I even started off at the beginning. “ No, t

    Alexis's POV “ You don't have to do this, you can't do this to me. You know who I am, you know who my family are and they aren't going to like this” A scoff left my lips at what he had just said before pushing him until he had his back against the wall, fidgeting against the chair. “ And you think that I will be scared? What exactly do you think will happen after what you did to Nortia, that I will pat you on the back for a job well done?” I was trying to keep my anger from escalating because all I wanted to do was strangle his neck until he was unable to take in air. I sniffed in, waiting for him to give an answer when the scent permeated the air. “ You peed on yourself? Are you even a man?” I held out a hand, accepting the taser which I had been given as I stroked across to him. “ It was wrong of me to do so, I shouldn't have done that in the first place, please don't ... .help me apologize to her, let her know that I'm sorry, it is the last time and it wouldn't happen anymo

    Nortia's POV My hand tightened around the file while Alexis drove home, my heart thudding so fast as well. I couldn't wait to get back just to open this up but a side of me couldn't help but contemplate on what exactly would happen if it turned out it was more than what I was expecting, if I would be able to handle the consequences of insisting on seeing in even when any wise person will do everything not to open up past baggage. When Alexis drove in, coming to a halt in front of the house, I slipped out, sauntering out before he could rush after me. “ Nortia” he called behind me as my footsteps raced up the stairs, not stopping to take a glance at him, I stomped up the stairs, slamming the door behind me. Leaning against the door when I had the door knotted properly, I held a hand to my heart grazing the edges of the invitation card which I had received. Was it going to be bad if I say I felt a bit hurt seeing the invitation card? I know I wasn't supposed to be but I was unabl

    Alexis's POVWords failed me at that moment because I knew she was trying so hard to hide the tears that were on her face. I held onto her arms which she flung away, tension hummed above us while I tried to calm everything down. “ Get away from me!” She screamed before breaking off into a race, one that had me running after her as well as I cussed. “ Nortia” I called out, listening to her footsteps as she raced out. I knew the paparazzi were out there and it wasn't going to take any more time before she got out there with everyone wanting to take pictures of the moment which they wouldn't be expecting. “ What do you think is going to happen if you step out right now? Please stop!” I begged, still looking around as I tried to get her to stop. A hand around her arm had her turning around as she screamed at me. “ What! What do you want?” “ Please get in” I begged, almost at wit's end as I did so. “I was transparent from the start, I never lied and I told you all that you wanted

    Nortia's POV I knew she had said all of those because she had seen how affected I had been not just by her presence but her words as well. Holding the cup with such a tight grasp that it would have cracked, I forced myself to stop thinking about what was to come and direct my focus instead on the dinner. I could talk about this later at home but for now, it would be better if I just enjoyed this. “ I am sorry if I made you feel that way, it wasn't my intention” she apologized but I could sense the apprehension in her tone.She had meant what she had just said, although she had dashed it away hinting on how she didn't mean it that way, but I wasn't going to be a fool to believe that in the slightest way. “ It's fine, I am sure that you wouldn't do that anymore, besides, my husband will never glance at you twice because I can see how much you repulse him” I gauged her expression for what would be her answer when her lashes flustered at what I had just said before she held her bag,

    Alexis's POV My hands folded in a clench while I tried to come up with something, probably an explanation to Nortia as it had finally dawned on me that putting this off until now hadn't been a good choice. She was bound to overthink things and I didn't know what she would be thinking right now with Charity still here, might be thinking I must have invited her here. “ Hey, welcome” Charity held out a hand to her, one which she didn't hold showing outright she wasn't in for any bullshit. I swallowed, running my eyes around before dropping to the chair just beside her, the lunch date going so awkward even before it started. “ I am sorry if I make you uncomfortable, but I just decided to meet up with Alexis because it's been long” “ Not I” I said in defense of myself, I didn't like the way she was talking as though she was here for me when in the first place I hadn't even invited her. “ I came to your office but you wouldn't let me in” Nortia jerked her head in an instant, taking

    Nortia's POV It was aggravating to know that there were numerous things I didn't know about Alexis, while all of this time, all he had said something about me knowing him and him knowing me also were all lies that he had said to me. I had been stunned to see Genevieve when she walked in through the door, peering at me eagerly, and when the words:“ Who are you?” Had slipped out of my lips, I had seen the look on her face that held disappointment and I knew she had every right to feel that way. Alexis hadn't said a word to me about her, neither in passing and I had been shocked when she had mentioned that she was his sister but that had left me shocked because she looked so different from the regular girls I would have expected her to be. Snobbish, rude and always pissed off, instead she gave off this calm aura that made you drawn to her and made you want to know everything about her so we bonded quickly with her talking endlessly about Alexis and their bond. I could tell their bo

    Alexis's POV It was funny how the universe worked,after getting married or rather announcing that I was married, and there are love up pictures of I and my wife everywhere, she decided to pop up from God knows where just to sabotage what I have right now because there was nothing else that I would get from this. That was the only opinion that I could deduce because if it wasn't that, then I didn't know how exactly she would just show up, claiming that she wanted to meet with me. I was off-bound and I didn't want to see her. “ Let her know that I am busy and I can't see her, also let her know that my wife wouldn't want me being with her” “ I will do just that,” Gerald replied before walking away. I stood, hands on my waist while I tried to understand where this was coming from, whatever I had with her was in the past and she had torn my heart as well. She had done worse than what Maxwell had done to Nortia because stupid me back then had insisted on her staying even after I had

    Alexis's POV Her words didn't seem convincing as though she was hurt by what I had said or she wasn't expecting that I had anyone else who would be by my side aside from her. I knew from how fast her countenance had changed that she wasn't going to answer me right now and I was at a loss still wondering if I was to give her some time or stay back as I needed to know which one it would be. When she didn't give an answer, neither did she say a word, I knew that she was already pissed off at me and so I knew space would be welcoming. “ I will be off now” I took steps closer to her attempting to kiss her on the cheek when she threw her head to the side. “ Nortia, don’t be this way” I urged, still trying to have a go at it when she did the same thing as she had done initially. “ Fine, I will leave now and wait for you to be calm a bit, but you should know that no one else have my heart aside you of course” I waited for her to say something and when the answer wasn’t coming forth, I w

    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

    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
