Nicholas' POV

Chapter 25

"I'll be waiting to hear a word from you, Nicholas! Please, find my daughter." Mrs Stanton called out behind me as I made my way away from her front door, with Mark trudging after me.

I didn't give her any response. My mind was a chaotic as different thoughts swirled in it.

I took long strides back to the car, trying everything I could to stop myself from rushing back into Sia's family house to search it probably.

It would only be a total waste of time, I reasoned.

I didn't want to face Nathan again. Well, I couldn't trust myself to not throw a solid punch at his face.

That liar!

Nathan Sterling certainly had a whole lot of guts. He had guts to carelessly accuse of me knowing where Sia was.

"Boss?" Mark's voice called out besides me.

I turned sideways. His hand was outstretched as he held out his phone to me.

I cocked my eyebrow at him, "uh?"

"You have a call from Gregory."

"Damn it! Why does he have to call you in order to speak to me?" I asked, as I

    Chapter 26Sia POV"I don't want to lose her!!" A high pitched voice cried out and I felt a jerk on my shoulder, causing another stab of pain to shoot its way through my body.My eyes opened slowly and shut almost immediately as the bright lights overheard almost blinded me. A shudder ran through me. "Do you think she'll be fine?" The voice spoke again. "Elise, if you want her to be okay..." A husky, male voice cut in "Can we start by having some silence? She isn't awake yet, but you're yapping and—""I don't appreciate being spoken to in that manner, Nicholas!" The other person said sharply. Where was I? I wondered.My head throbbed badly and I felt as though my skin was on fire. I zoned the speaking voices out of my head and kept my eyes shut. I was certain that they hadn't seen when I had first opened my eyes. I felt weak. Too weak to think about anything or anything. Rather, I remained, unmoving until I slowly slipped into unconsciousness. ~ ~ ~ ~The loud slam of a door jo

    CHAPTER 27NICHOLAS POVDamn it!What the hell was wrong with me? How could I go from arguing with Sia in one minute to kissing her the next minute. I definitely deserved an award as the craziest man alive. I slowly pulled away from her face, gazing deeply into her eyes. Her breathing had become heavier and her forehead was all sweaty. "You asked whether I care about you, right?" I mumbled. Her jaw dropped open as she stared at me without any word. Our faces were only a few inches away from each other. For the first time, I noticed her light blue eyes, and something stirred within me. The taste of her lips still clung to mine, and it took everything in me to stop myself from cupping her chin to kiss her again. "I care about you, Sia" My voice was hoarse, "I care enough about your safety and as long as you are in my life as my contract wife, I will not put you in any position where you—""Eh-ehem! Am I interrupting anything here?" A voice spoke behind me, causing me to jump away

    Chapter 28Nicholas POV"Who are you?" I asked, shoving my hands into my pockets.Something didn't feel right at all. I knew it.I shot a cold stare at the man before me, feeling my skin crawl. He didn't say a word. Rather, he stuck out his hand towards me, expecting a handshake. My eyes fell on his outstretched arm before I looked away from him. I set my lips in a hard line and spun around on my heels to face my mother. "Mum?" I called out, "Who is this?"My mother had a large grin on her face and for the first time, I noticed that she had makeup on. That was unusual. My mother rarely wore makeup at home. She cleared her throat noisily and walked up to me, flashing a smile at the stranger who stood before us. "This is Ethan." She said, as she pointed at the man. "He is a very good friend of your father. Actually, he was your father's bestfriend—""A friend of my father?" I cut in, eying the other man with irritation, "You never told me about him before.""Oh, Nicholas" She said,

I wasn't comfortable with talking about Nicholas, especially with a strange doctor in the room. Elise shrugged, "I don't know, really. He seemed..pissed off.""You need to rest, Sia." The doctor said calmly. She held one of my wrists and peered closely at it. I nodded, weak. "Uhm.. May I ask a question?" "Okay?" The doctor said with a warm smile, looking at me. "It's about Nicholas. Did he give you any instructions concerning —""You?" I bobbed my head, "Yes."She chuckled, "He did. He asked me to make sure you are alright.""And?"She narrowed her eyes at me, "Are you expecting to hear something else? Is everything okay?"I shot a glance at Sia who was winking at me from where she stood behind the doctor. "Oh. Okay. Very well, then." I stuttered.

She said, still behind me. I spun around to face her, "Really, Mum? Let me guess. You're still upset with me over my marriage with Sia?""No. I will not sit back and watch you disrespect an old friend of your father. I raised you better than this, Son!" She said through clenched teeth. I shook my head slowly, as I dug my teeth into my lower lip until the metallic taste of blood was on my tongue. "Mother, I have no issues with Ethan, or whatever the hell his name is, resurfacing. All I ask is to be left out of this bonding stuff he has going on, please.""You need him, Nicholas. I've never given you answers about the questions you've had about your missing father.

Then, he took a few steps towards me. "Nicholas Winthrop!" I called out, making him to stop abruptly. His brows knotted. "What?""Your friend and that Doctor came in here a while ago. They left with Elise. Where —""She's alright." He cut in as he approached me. "Where is she?""I asked Gregory to take her home. It's not safe that she stays here." He explained. My frown deepened, "Not safe for Elise? Then, why am I still here, huh? Why don't you let me go. I need to see my mother.""You don't understand me" He said, as he reached out to move strands of my hair away from my face, tucking it gently behind my ear. I stiffened as I felt the coldness of his fingertips on my face. "Then, make me understand you. When I signed that damn marriage contract with you, it didn't give you an authority to take away my f

He was bent over me, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Wh-what are you doing here?" I asked, slowly pushing myself up from the bed so I could sit. "You seem to have forgotten what you desperately wanted yesterday, Sia." He said..I let out a yawn, slapping my palm over my mouth, "Uh?""I need you to get out of bed. I'll be taking you to your mother this morning, and afterwards we shall show up at the press conference."I gasped, "I literally don't have any clothes to wear!""Exactly. That is why I shall be assigning Rhonda to you. Come in!" He said, snapping his fingers. Immediately, the bedroom door opened and a young lady walked in,clutching a large bag in one of her hands. There was a wide grin on her face as she met my stare. My mouth dropped open with disbelief. I knew her!She

Sia asked, stepping away from Rhoda. Her eyes darted across my face. "Did you meet Nathan again?"I set my lips in a firm line. My jaws remained clenched as I stared at her. This was definitely not the right time for me to ask her about this. I didn't want Rhoda to know the dynamica of my relationship with Sia. I shot a quick glance at Rhoda who was now packing up the bag on the table, and I looked back at Sia. Sia nodded slowly, "You have to stop digging up my past, okay?" She hissed underneath her breath. "Let's get going. We have a very long day ahead of us!" I said, shoving my hands into my pockets. Rhoda walked past me silently. I waited until the door was shut again before I cleared my throat noisily. "Remind me. What did you say about me trying to dig up your past?" I asked. "Stop it! We are only

    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

    CHAPTER 44Nicholas POV I blinked rapidly, trying to shake off the haze.Where was I? My bed. I was in my bed. But...what happened last night? 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

I wanted to know that he wasn't just putting up a facade of non-chalance for me, while trying to shownthe world that i meant something to him. That was our plan, wasn't it?But now, I was willing to be stupid enough to admit that I wanted more. I wanted to see something that I shouldn't even desire to see.To see that, deep down, a part of him was begining to crave me as much I was begining to want him. Fuck it!I wanted him to be inside me again. Afterall, wasn't that the begining of my misery with him? Making him to get inside me, huh? I didn't care anymore.
