Chapter 8

Layla’s POV

I imagined him kissing me for the very first time and I thought maybe he has feelings for me now but I guess I fantasize a lot, he didn’t kiss me like I thought instead he removed something from my hair.

“You had a thread on your hair.” He said and I didn’t know what else to say, I just opened the door and left without saying a word.

I didn’t go directly to the professor office, I just rushed to the female toilet and locked myself in, “Why does Chloe have to come back? Why? I am married to him and she is just an ex to him but why does she has more advantage over him? I am married to him this long and we have never slept on the same bed, we have never called ourselves sweet name or cuddle each other, we haven’t done anything as a couple.

I remained in here for up to 15 minutes and I tried to put myself together before stepping out and washing my face with the sink. I looked at the mirror after drying my face, I kind of look dull and I don’t want anyone asking me w

Wait, didn't she just say in the previous chapter that she drove to school, past the restaurant, back home and her friend's house and now she's saying she don't drive. Does the author not remember what she wrote?

The storyline seems interesting, but the bad grammar and sentence structure makes it difficult to read. Would be good to engage someone to edit / proofread.

Why?” I suddenly remembered and I jumped up immediately and my eyes landed on the clock in the living room, 9am OMG, how did this happen? Oh no, I am so late!!I placed the phone back on my ear saying, “I will be there please.” I ended the phone call and dashed to my room.I didn’t have enough time to wash my hair, I guess it’s not smelling after all, I took the document of the research I did and other important file as well and rushed out of my room ready to leave, I saw no trace of Nate’s black Porsche Panamera c

Why?” I asked with tears rolling down from my eyes.“Number one stop crying, you are not a baby and lastly, what don’t you understand by I am not in the mood to talk about this? Why are you so eager? We can talk about this another day.” He said walking out on me and not even caring to wipe off my tears, how can a man be this cold to the woman he got married to? The next minute he got out of his room with his car keys in his hands, don’t tell me he is leaving to be with his lover, is she more important now? He is not in

    Chapter 12Layla’s POVI thought he was going to take the kiss to another level, my entire body craved for his touch but all of a sudden he just stopped and left the bed, “I need to get you food so you can take your medication.” He left without letting me to say a word out to him.This is supposed to be the best memory but as a result of him running away after kissing me it turns out to be the most embarrassing memory, is he regretting that he kissed me? Does he think he will be hurting Chloe? But I am his wife and kissing should be a normal thing right?I got off his bed at once wiping off the tears, I thought this was real a minute ago, why does he keep on doing stuff like this, he makes my heart flutter and then he makes my precious heart to bleed again, why does loving Nate hurt this much and at the same time I still can’t hate him, I still can’t stop loving him the more, everyday my love for him grows deeper.

    Chapter 13Layla’s POVThe following morning, I felt better than yesterday, the medication truly worked. I tied my pink towel and headed to the bathroom to have my shower, with the water running and soaking my hair and down to my entire body, his words played in my head, “LAYLA, I AM NOT IN THE MOOD”Why did he yell over something that will benefit him the most? Am I missing something here? Or could it be that he is having some hard time at work that’s why he keep saying he is not in the mood or what? I really wish I could understand him, but he is just too complicated. The only option I have for now is to forget about the divorce topic for some time and bring it up again maybe by then he will be in a good mood to talk about it and also agree to it in one sitting and we both will be free especially him because he will the get the opportunity to be with the only woman he loves the most in this life.

    Chapter 14 “Hey Layla, you are here, so.” I interrupted her saying, “I need to go now, got an emergency call.” I left without turning back and I kept wiping off my tears as it drops. My life is just too miserable and it’s beyond fixing now, I hate her so much, I hate her and I am envy of her for taking away the man I love so much from me. I got a text from Amanda to meet her at the radio station so I can follow her to the grocery shop, it’s best I go to her and I am sure she will tell me exactly what to do at the moment because I am really confused at the whole thing, he doesn’t want us to talk about us divorcing, he is never in the mood but he has enough time and got good mood whenever it comes to Chloe. I took another taxi and headed directly to the radio station, been a while I came here, guess a few things has changed with what I am seeing right now. I sighted Amanda talking with a guy and she was smiling like an idiot, do not tell me she is in to that guy, wow, I can’t believe

It just a fifteen minutes’ walk from her work place and for the fact we are carried away with our conversation, it was great strolling. We went in the shop and took a basket wheel and I rolled it behind her as she picked what she wanted from each section but it didn’t interrupt our conversation. “My plan will commence when you resume working at The General Hospital, I need you to make sure you both always encounter yourselves, he should not go a day without him seeing you and when he does, always let out your charming smiles no matter what he does to you.” “Hey no, he will not fall for those tricks.” I assured her because the Nate I know is a cold person that can never fall. “Trust me on this, most men who act tough might not be all tough, be in the surgery room with him, ask him question base on you both field, I am telling you, he will have no other option but to get closer to you and when he is vu

Do you know what’s required of us to take out Mrs. Susan Beets from that place? Are you on some drugs or what? I’m lost here. I guess Amanda leaving has really made you insane. Just give me some time, and I’ll talk to her so she can give you a chance.”I sighed, frustrated. “I’m perfectly normal, and I’m not on any drugs, okay? This is the only way out. Something tells me they’re going to hurt her. I really don’t want anything to harm my mother-in-law.”Romeo threw up his hands. “Oh, sweet Lord, help my friend, for he is crazy and out of his damn mind!
