Chapter 86Layla’s POVI fell to the ground crying and hoping he was still alive, I managed to put myself together to check if he was still breathing, and…and.., oh my goodness he is still breathing, he is alive and for just a second, I was already scared.“It’s okay everyone, my husband is still breathing, please assist me in taking him to his car so I can treat him at home.” I had no choice but to call him my husband if not, they wouldn’t even let me take him and I hoped this would be the last time I would help, luckily for me, his car keys were in his pocket but his wallet and phone were not, I guess it got stolen.They helped me in taking him to his car and he was placed in the back seat. I saw my bag and quickly turned on my phone to call my driver assigned to me to drive the car to the hotel so I could just drive Nate's car and take him home with it.I placed my phone on flight mode and arrived at Nate’s home, my ex's home and nothing much had changed at all.I can’t believe he
Chapter 87Nate’s POV“Ouch, my head hurts.” I cried out the pain I was feeling when I woke up. All my body ached as I tried to stand on my feet. What the hell happened to me? How did I end up in my room? Gosh, I hate to be drunk, I should never have gone to that bar.I managed to walk to the bathroom to freshen up and I was hungry as f**k, I have never been this hungry. Walking to the kitchen I noticed breakfast was already prepared and it was served on the dining table, don’t tell me those people who normally come to keep my home clean came very early to do so.I looked at the way it was served, it can’t be them, this is exactly the way my ex-wife likes to dish breakfast in the morning but it’s impossible for her to come here to do that or did she? Wait a minute, don’t tell me Chloe is at it again, I have had enough of her, where is my phone, I need to make a few calls.I tried looking for my phone but I couldn’t find it, even my wallet was also missing, wait a second, it’s all comi
Chapter 88Nate’s POVShe called me back immediately and I answered, “Hey sweet.”“My name is Layla and not sweet, stop flirting with me, I hate it.” She yelled and a smile curve on my lips.“Are you angry at me?”“I will text you the address to meet me tomorrow.”“Thank you so much and I will make sure you don’t regret the lunch.”“And who told you I agree on having lunch with you, I just want to take my earrings from you.”“Please, don’t be that stubborn, just lunch and I won’t bite.”“I would have let it go without seeing you but I am agreeing to meet because my fiancé got me those beautiful diamond earrings, it means so much more to me so keep it safe.” She ended the call and I got jealous immediately. I wanted to research who she is seeing but I will get hurt the more.I can get her diamond earrings as well, what’s so special about it anyway? If not for the fact I am a gentleman, I would have dumped the earrings in the waste bin.I got so upset and I cooled down a bit when Wilson
Chapter 89Layla’s POV“Oh good God, how did I end up having Amanda as a friend,” I said taking a deep breath.I explained everything to Amanda and she advised me to be careful with the choices I make. We had a little agreement about it because she thinks I still have feelings for him but I do not have any feelings for him, I love just Andrew now but am I sure about it? Well, one thing I know is that I will never hurt Andrew anymore.“So how long do you plan on lying to Andrew?”“I will tell him everything when I return to Canada.”“Please you better do, with everything you told me, I am certain Andrew loves you but at the same time, I know you still have feelings for Nate.”“Please not again.”“Okay, I will hold my peace, I need to get this call.” She said taking her call.Amanda had to leave to interview a big celebrity on the radio she is working at and I still wonder why Smith hasn’t proposed to her yet, could he be hiding something from her or what? I just hope he doesn’t end up
Chapter 90Nate’s POVI left with a smile and I remembered what I asked Mabel to do, using a tour and showing the designs we have already was a way for me to see Layla every day.I got to the hospital feeling so happy and when I entered my father’s ward, my mom was not in and I got told she stepped out.I sat close to my father, “Father can I tell you a secret?” I assumed he said yes to me, “Well father, I will be seeing more of my ex-wife, can you believe that? I just need to try harder and we will get back together and be happy forever.” I let out a genuine smile holding my father’s hand.“I hope you wake up soon because this time Father, I want the wedding to be known by everyone, I want the whole world to know that I am in love with Layla and she is my wife.” I talked with my father about it and I really hope he leaves the hospital soon enough but most times I get scared, what if my dad doesn’t make it out of here? I really can’t lose him, I need to get closer to him and amend the
Chapter 91Layla’s POV“I will help you with that.” He said trying to help me fix the seat belt on when our nose touched and my heart started beating so fast with our eyes locked.“Fixed.” He said still looking at me and his eyes then fixed on my lips, about to kiss his phone rang and thank goodness we didn’t kiss, I was lost in his world for a few moments.He answers his phone, “Wilson, can we talk later?”He ended the phone call and said to me, “Sorry for the delay, will take you there now.” He let out a smile and I suddenly got the chills.I could not stop staring at him while he was focused on driving, he looks hotter than before, am I getting attracted to my ex-husband again? No way this is happening, this is not why I came here, I need to get my thoughts together.We arrived at the estate and oh my God, this entire place is beautiful and huge, I would have been unhappy if I ended up seeing this on the phone or whatever means, but I am happy I came here myself.“You like it?”“Li
Chapter 92Nate’s POVI could have kissed Layal but Wilson had to interrupt with his call, when I leave here, I am going to make sure I deal with him for ruining such a beautiful moment for me.I drove her to the Estate and with the way she admired the entire place I can tell she loves it. She was so natural to me while talking and it made me remember how sweet she was when she was much younger though she changed, it was because of me.I got a beep that my surprise for Layla was ready, I hoped this would show her that I still wanted her in my life but she was in a hurry to leave so I said to her, “Not yet, come with me, I have something to show you.” I held her hands though I thought she might hit my hands off as usual but she didn’t do it.“Come sit,” I said to her with a smile when we walked into the special room and I could tell that she liked it.“Okay, I am certain anyone that comes to meet this will love it, we can use this very idea to set up Valentine dates for intending coupl
Chapter 93Layla’s POVWhen he left, I had to text my driver to pick me up and take me to the hotel.I took a walk around and felt bad about the whole thing, none of this was my fault, the deal had been done but why was Nate making a fuss about everything?I am glad I didn’t tell him about our son, he will go crazy and want to take him from me. I can do this, just a few more days and I am done with this tour then I can return to my life in Canada, resume work at the hospital and schedule dates for other surgeries.“I love you, Layla, how do you expect me to move on when I need you so bad, tell me, what am I supposed to do?” His words played in my head all day and even while I tried to watch a TV at the hotel to get my mind off things, I still couldn’t stop hearing Nate’s voice then it occurred to me that Nate might be drinking again because of me.I grabbed my phone immediately and almost placed a call across to Nate but for some reason I held my peace saying, it’s none of my business
