Nikaulas squeezed the pillow closer and breathed in its sweet scent. It was so soft and warm. Top of the line. He was going to buy more of these and take back home. But then his nose scrunched when he felt something fluffy tickling it. He ignored it initially but then the tickling grew unbearable. He opened his eyes only to find his vision veiled by a thread of blond hair. The man lifted his free hand and move it out of his eyes. The first thing henoticed was a pink fancy lamp that was set on the nightstand across from him. His groggy senses slowly woke to soft blows of hot air hitting the side of his neck. His gaze lowered to the woman who was in his arms, sound asleep. Her face was buried into the crook of his neck and her small fist tucked between their chests. Her waist-length locks were all over them. More on him then her. Her face was hidden under her locks. He was ought to shove her away but instead he, very cautiously, curled his fingers around one of her strands and one b
The wind howled viciously and soon fat drops of rain begin to splash against the windowpane. The thunder clapped. It was late at night. Nikaulas went to Nichelle's room to check on her. She was asleep. He sat there in the darkness with her for some time before returning to his room. He glanced at his watch. It was already 11 and she was still out with him. He walked to the window overlooking the entrance and stood there. His eyes measuring the path as far as they could. Theo had taken her out on the pretext of work and they still had not returned. Barely two minutes had passed when Nikaulas glanced at his watch again.His anger was building with every passing second. Where the fuck are they? A message popped on his screen. He read it. Theo's car broke down. Me and Theo have found an abandoned building. We will be staying there for the night.A wave of fury crashed through him. He dialed her number and pressed the phone against his ear. His nostrils flaring. She picked up at the fir
They reached home in twenty minutes. The rain had let up for a moment. Nikaulas scooped her up and carried her to her room. The rain resumed pattering once they were inside.Angela could sense tension billowing from him. She couldn't understand why he troubled himslf so much. She had texted him that they would be back as soon as the rain let up. She sighed inwardly, he was a puzzle she could only hope to solve. Also, she didn't like the way he treated Theo. It wasn't like his car would have drowned if he had given him the lift. She made a mental note to ask her guards to pick Theo. The night was too chilly to be spent in a cold abandoned building. Nikaulas didn't bother to look her in the eyes. He was still mad. He set her in her bed and turned to leave when her hand shot out and curled around his wrist. The welcoming warmth of her palm radited into his cold skin. He halted and glanced down at her hand. Angela swallowed, not sure how he would take it. Keeping his eyes on their han
Nichelle was only 17 when her father introduced her to Zac, her new bodyguard. He was only 22 and so ravishingly handsome. The attraction was instant from both sides. Her sweet, bubbly nature made him enamored of her. However, despite his feelings for her, Zac resisted Nichelle for he was well aware of their class difference. She was a mafia princess and he was just an orphan bodyguard. But how long could he resist. One by one, Nichelle knocked down all his walls and before they knew it, they were uninhibitedly in love with each other. They got physical and Nichelle became pregnant only at 18. Her father was beyond enraged when he learned about them and fired Zac. Nichelle was devastated to know that his father had warned Zac against seeing her. She pleaded with her dad, mom, and brother to let her be with Zac but they didn't listen. In their opinion, Zac had manipulated her young mind so that he could get his hand on King's riches. When they refused to listen to her, Nichelle asked
After cruising, they went to a local diner that had the highest rating online. "This place is owned by an old couple. It is said they serve the best food in whole of Amsterdam," Theo explained as they walked towards the diner which was just around the corner. "Yeah! We have been there. The food is delicious but nobody goes there now as people prefers fancy restaurants around it," Chris remarked. They reached the diner in no time. Leah was thrown off once again. It was the same diner where she and Nik had dined after cruising. Her feet felt heavy and throat parched. She felt as if she was being exposed. Nikaulas too had a hard expression on. Oblivious to their situation, everyone sauntered inside the diner. As Chris had said, the diner was fairly empty. Only a couple of customers were there. There was nothing fancy about the diner, no attractive decoration but had a cozy vibe. There was one more thing that Angela liked a lot. The air was practically buzzing with sweet aroma of foo
Nikaulas pulled up into the driveway. Martha came out the moment she spotted car's flashlight and took Nichelle to her room whereas Nikaulas swooped Angela up into his arms. Angela's mind was hazy but she was still in her senses. She locked her arms around his neck but avoided his eyes. Nikaulas had figured she was doing it purposefully. She had been ignoring him since the cruise. And for some reason it was annoying the hell out of him. In brisk, long strides, he entered her room but instead of going for the bed he set her atop the wooden table. Angela was still comprehending when he parted her legs and lodged himself between them. Angela glanced up at him utterly confused. The woman opened her mouth to object but he forced it shut by grabbing her cheeks. He was done playing her stupid games. He wanted answers and now. "Why are you ignoring me?" he demanded. "I..I am not," she lied. His eyes narrowed. "Do not lie to me," he warned her in a tone that chilled her to her bo
"Leah Raeh Muller," she enunciated without moving her gaze from the ceiling, breaking him from his trance. Nikaulas, for the first time, found himself togue-tied. "I had always wondered who this Raeh is. This name was ingraved into my head ever since you.....," she paused and then lowered her eyes to meet his. "I wondered what does she have that I don't? What made you love her so hard? I wanted to know why you can't get over her even after everything and give us a chance?" her voice held no bitterness just pure cruel longing for this man who could not be his. He found no accusation, no resentment only sad yearning.There was only one question behind her every questions. Why can't he love her? What would she have to do to make him love her? Angela felt no bitterness for Leah either. It was not her who came between them. It was Angela who came between them.Her lips stretched into a weak smile and a tear tumbled down her eyes. "I can see why you fell for her. She is stunningly be
Nikaulas returned home to an empty hall. The sofa she used to sit on was without any trace of her. She wasn't there waiting like she always did. It shouldn't have affected him but it did. Ignoring the prickling disappointment, he climbed up the stairs.Two days went like this. He watched Angela from afar. She was laughing, smiling, talking to others like her usual self. It was difficult to reconcile her with the woman who had seemed so broken that night. But now he had learned to see through her facade. The woman occasionally smiled at him too but now her eyes didn't glitter with hopeless affection as they used to before that fateful night. It was then he realised how used to he had become to her special smile that she had only for him. For the first time, he was without a plan. He didn't know what to do next. She had offered to divorce him on her expense then why did he not take it? He should have been happy but instead he was caught by a sinking feeling. He was gritting his teeth
