"You can't run from me, Sia!" I yelled at the top of my voice as the two women stormed out, the door slamming behind them with a loud thud.

Did Sia hear what I said?

Well, I couldn't care less. One thing was sure—I was going to find her later that evening. I had already planted people in strategic locations to keep an eye on her and make sure she didn't something as funny as running away.

Also, I needed to find out who had placed those secret cameras at the hotel room, and why they did that.

A fleeting thought flashed my mind and I grimaced.

What if Sia wasn't who I thought she was? What if she was working with some rival of mine to pull me down? As innocent as she looked, I was sure that there was something more to her. I heard light footsteps behind me and swing around to the direction.

One of my staff; Mama Carlotta. She was an aged woman who had once been my nanny at childhood, stood in the doorway, her hands clasped in front of her.

" Do you like Sia?" He repeated. I cocked an eyebrow, “Your superpower is to be the most annoying dumbass in my life. How do you even sit in one place and formulate things in your head?” Greg didn't budge, instead he continued, “Come on, Nicholas, admit it. You like her.”“No, I don't." I cut in, "As a matter of fact, Sia is the last woman I would ever like. Period!” I ended, a scowl on my face. “I need you to remind me again. Why are you so worked up about her safety?”" Her safety?" I repeated his words. He threw his hands in the air, "Is it obvious enough?""I'm telling you, Greg, I don't like her," I grunted, placing emphasis on my last words. “Save it, Nicholas.

    SIA POV“That's enough, Elise. Please let go of my wrist now,” I said, pulling my hands away from Elise's grip as I took two steps backward, massaging my wrist. “Sia, what exactly is your problem?” Elise suddenly asked, taking a step forward as she glared at me. My face lit up in surprise because of all the questions, I didn't think she'd settle for that when she knew exactly what my problem was. “You know exactly what my problem is,” I fired back at her. “Do you really have to squeeze my wrist so tightly?”“You're more concerned about your wrist?” Elise asked, wide eyed. “I can't believe this.”“Of course, I am concerned about my wrist,” I exclaimed, still rubbing the sore skin.Elise stared at me quietly for some time, then she scoffed, “How do you always find yourself in unfortunate situations?”I slowly tilted my head slightly, to meet her gaze. "Unfortunate situations?"Elise's eyes locked onto mine, worry hidden in the depths. "Nicholas Winthrop, the billionaire. He has a gir

My eyes caught Nathan Sterling, my business rival.He stood a distance with his arms folded across his chest, glaring at me.As much as I'd have loved to savor this moment, I couldn't because I was pissed. I pinned my eyes on Sia and spoke in a low tone. "My love" I started, "Of course, I came here to get you.""Get me?" She shot at me with disbelief. "We agreed that you would have a formal introduction with my family tonight. Didn't we?" I asked, with a smirk. I was aware of the impact of my words on her parents anf Nathan who was still looking at me. I didn't need anyone to tell me that Nathan was the idiot who cheated on her. “What do you mean? This is just past 5,” She retorted, stealing a glance at the fancy wall clock.“Well, I missed you too soon. What can I say

My brows furrowed and I felt anger rise gradually in my chest. Everything was becoming so damn overwhelming at this point. First it was Sia, now I had to worry over Lily?Why the heck did she have to add to the ugly situation when she was the main cause?“Shit!” I cursed sharply under my breath.Announcing to the media that she was still my girlfriend just when I had tried to convince the media of the relationship between Sia and I, was an enraging approach.I didn't realize that there was a grown on my face for a long while until I caught Sia staring at me with curiosity.“What's going on?” Greg asked from the driver's seat.“Kindly take us to the fashion store, Greg.” I said to him, ignoring his question.I couldn’t let the news of what Lily had made public online to disrupt my plans for the d

I stomped my feet as I walked towards the gate, and wasn’t willing to answer him. “Sia!” He called out to me again as I passed by the gates. I was already at the car when I turned abruptly to him.“What is it!” I snapped at him. “You brought me here just so your mother could speak demeaning words to me?”"Look who we have here!" A voyce squealed excitement. Nicholas and I swung around to see a young lady in a tight fitting red dress and heavy make-up. She walked towards us, laughing. "My love!" She giggled as she closed up the distance between her and Nicholas. Love? What the hell was going on here? She threw her head backwards and cast a shielded glance at me. A sneer crept on her face as she eyed me. Then, she turned to Nicholas's, placed a hand on his chest and trailed her finger on the fabric of his chest. “Baby, I’m so happy I found you here.” She swooned. I rolled my eyes. Why wa

That was a pathetic lie!!“Oh, come on. Do we need to introduce lies to this newly found relationship? Elise, my best friend, told me that Lily is a crazy woman.” I said, eying him as I waited for a response from him regarding that.Suddenly, his calm expression turned into a displeased one. His brows curved downward, and he maintained a cold look.“You know what? I’m not in any way, comfortable with you keeping Elise as a friend, talk more of a best friend since she really doesn’t know how to mind her business.”“And how should that be something for me to consider? Remember, our contract marriage doesn’t include you getting to choose my friends.” I shot at him, raising my brows.Was that all he could do? Attacking my friend?I scoffed, moving inches away from him on the seat. All I asked was one simple question, and he ha

My eyes opened slowly as I stared at my phone. It was Nicholas calling.I swiped the green button to the right and placed the phone against my ear.“Hello.”“Come downstairs to the lobby. I'm waiting for you.” He informed me, and I gave a tired sigh as the call disconnected.I sat up and dragged my butt down to the edge of the bed, then rose to my feet, stretched and yawned.I pulled off my night gown and walked into the bathroom to have my bath.After having my bath, I put on something simple and just while I was staring at the mirror, a knock came on the door.“Who is it?” I inquired as I gazed at the door.The only person I was expecting was Nicholas and he was at the lobby, expecting me.“Room service, ma'am.

    Chapter 48Nicholas POV I sat at my desk, trying to concentrate on the documents in front of me, but every word blurred. My thoughts drifted back to Sia, and the argument we’d had two days ago. I gritted my teeth. She could do whatever she wanted; it wasn’t my business, not anymore. But despite myself, I felt a pang of guilt, an unwelcome reminder that she was still my wife—contract or not.Just as I was about to bury myself back into my work, my phone rang. Gregory’s name flashed on the screen.I answered, a bit more curtly than usual. “What is it?”“Nicholas, you need to come to the hospital. Sia’s been admitted.” His voice was serious, almost grim.“What happened?” I demanded, already rising from my chair.“I think it’s best if you just come. She’s stable for now, but you should be here.”My pulse quickened. “I’ll be there in ten minutes.”The drive to the hospital felt longer than usual. As I drove, my mind raced with thoughts of Sia lying alone in a sterile room, hurt and poss

    CHAPTER 47SIA POVI didn't need to ask twice before knowing that Nicholas was not going to tell me who he had been speaking with on the phone. I knew that he had been talking to Lily. It was surprising, especially after she had behaved on the day of the press conference. Were they back together now?What was going on?Nicholas stared at me, his eyes narrowed. "I don't know what you're talking about."His phone stopped ringing and I shrugged. "I don't care what you do with your ex-girlfriend," I said, turning away. Then, I walked out of the room, leaving him behind.As soon as I got downstairs, one of the security of the suite approached me. There was a worried look on his face. I frowned. "Any issues?"He nodded, drawing close on me. "There's someone at the big gates, asking to be let in.""Okay?""She fits the description of the person whom boss had warned us to not let into the property, Ma'am."An alarm rang in my head. Elise! That had to be Elise my bestfriend. I rushed out

    Chapter 46Nicholas POV In the split of a second, I watched how Sia went from being shocked to being disappointed to being sad. Something broke inside me. Her eyes widened, shock etched on her face. She opened her mouth, then closed it, struggling to find words."What's wrong?" she finally managed.I rolled my eyes. Did she have to ask me such a stupid question?"Last night...it was a mistake," I repeated, tearing my gaze away from hers.Her face crumpled, and she edged backward, tears rolling down her cheeks. She hastily wiped them off."What did you expect?" I asked, trying to sound detached. "That we'd suddenly become romantic partners just because we shared one night of intimacy?"Sia's voice trembled. "No, I didn't expect that. What I did expect was that you'd be nice enough to stop pretending about what you want.""I'm not pretending," I said, my voice was cold.Sia's eyes flashed. "So, what you mean is that what we shared that night meant nothing to you?""Yes," I replied, as

    CHAPTER 45 - Nicholas POVAs Lily began to kiss me, I almost pushed her away. Yet, I kissed her back. The best way to take down a cunning person like Lily was to be one step ahead of her, and that was exactly what I was ready to do. I planed my next move as I tugged softly on her lips. When I slowly pulled away, breaking the kids, she was looking at me with a smile on her lips. "I guess I have all morning to do this with you, Lily" I said with a hoarse voice, smirking.Her cheeks flushed as she twirled strange of her hair with a finger, seductively biting her lower lip. "Sure. How do you suggest we spend it before we get on the sheets?"Perfect!She asked the right question. Excitement almost burst through my chest as I pointed at the glass of champagne which she had left on the table. "Let's share a drink, first." I said, still smiling. Then, I gestured to the bottle of champagne which chilled in the ice bucket. "Allow me to pour out my drink myself." She jerked her head backwar

Sia laid next to me on the bed, one of her hands remained crossed on my chest and she snores lightly. Her head was on my other arm, and her hair was in my face. I held my breath. This wasn't true. Or...was it? Sia and I in bed together? I shut my eyes, forcing myself to snap out of this dream.I had to be dreaming! How did I spend almost a month, proving to Sia that I hated her in private, only to end up getting intimate with her in one night.Then, it happened. All of a sudden, the memories flooded my mind like a tidal wave.Sia, naked and trembling as I went beneath her. The shower. Her screams of pleasure.My fingers, my tongue...Fuck it!Did I sleep with her? No, we didn't...we didn't have sex. Relief washed over me.

Nicholas sensed my uneasiness as he got into the bathroom. He placed a kiss on my forehead before lowering me to the floor. We got into the shower and he proceeded to bathe me, as though I was a child. He was gentle with me, making me to winder whether he was the same man whose life purpose was to be cold and rude towards me. I forced myself to stop thinking about our past. My past with him. And, I focused on the sensation of his hands rubbing soap all over my body. He was naked too. His cock was erect, and pulsing. It was hard not to look at it, so I focused on his face. When he turned on the shower, he pressed my body against his in hug as we stood underneath the showerhead. Water trickled down our hair and our body. My nipples we
