Chapter- 40
They must be dancing now, her hands must be on his shoulders, and his hands must be on her hips. He must be smiling widely, sure that bastard will smile as he waited for all along.
What if he confesses his love and how she will react? There’s a chance that she might think he’s a better option because he’s that sweet little Derek who made her happy all the time.
No, Naomi won’t think like that, she loves me. His soft, cool normal side told him that.
Does she love you? Then why she didn’t call you yet. She’s busy enjoying her time with him than to give a shit about your ego. His cunning, obnoxious meticulous side retorted back.
Nick heaved a sigh. Maybe this is all normal and I am just confusing over this, he thought.
From the very start, he always wanted to get her attention either in a good or bad way. He coveted her to think about only him, and he confessed his feelings hastily after see
Meanwhile, Naomi danced with Derek just how Nick has imagined. But there’s no big smile on her face, and her body is stiff. Derek felt equally awkward too so they quickly ended their dance and Naomi went dancing with Jorge. With him, she felt somewhat relaxed.“Hey, still thinking about Nick?” Jorge asks.“Yes,” she nods. “He’s stuck with our dad and his dad, I feel bad for that guy, I can imagine how hard that for him,” Jorge said. For the first time, Jorge took Nick’s side because he really sympathizes with him. Maybe he’s not okay with their relationship but he admires Nick more than his brother Magnus.“Yeah, you are right,” she said. After some time, Naomi went to sit beside Derek and watched the other people dancing. Naomi looked at her phone, there’s no calls or a message from Nick which worried her. She decided to call him later.Since they were alone and Derek wan
Chapter- 41Days passed one after the other. Naomi got her scores. As she wished she got the best marks compared to all the other tests. Everyone and Naomi are confident that she would get into law school. But the one person who she’s expecting to say something didn’t call her, text her, or anything. Julia even sends him Naomi’s results but he didn’t respond.Derek got some three decimal points higher than Naomi. Jorge got a good score too. She got gifts from her mom and dad and Vincent is so proud of his daughter, he also noticed the way she’s sad all the time and comes to know about their fight. He didn’t involve thinking it’s just normal.But as the days passed, their growing distance and no response from Nick, she concluded that they have broken up. Nick just vanished out of her life after that incident and she can’t help hating him. Jorge didn’t let her call him so she remained silent too.Meanwhi
Chapter- 42 It was the day before Derek and Jorge were leaving the country. Naomi was sitting in her room hearing a podcast. Nowadays she’s keeping herself busy so that she won’t think about Nick. She looked at the sky which is clear and blue. She took a deep breath when the windblown through the windows. She turned off the podcast and wondered where Nick must be now? Will he come here tomorrow to send off Derek and Jorge. Or is he going to stay like this? She thought why can’t Nick see Derek in the same way he sees Jorge. She said her doubts to Julia and she also agreed that Derek has feelings for her. Why I didn’t see it? This is the only thought she had whenever she looks at Derek. She’s hesitant to ask him and she doesn’t want to create any drama when he’s about to leave. Naomi came out of her room and walked downstairs. This is the boring time of her life, before all these problems she planned to spend this time with Nick b
Chapter- 43 The only good thing that happened in Naomi’s life recently is getting into law school. She still remembers the day she opened her acceptance letter on her laptop. She cried in happiness. This is something she genuinely worked hard putting all her energy and the success made her serene after a long time. From that moment, everything started moving faster than she imagined and it helped her a lot to come out of Nick’s thoughts. She moved on from her house to a small yet beautiful apartment near her university. She got a new car which is Uncle Dan’s gift. He was quite upset about their breakup than anyone else. University life is mundane for Naomi because she didn’t go to any parties, or having a boyfriend and has no big friend’s gang, as she had in high school. But then she made a friend, her name is Andrea and she’s from California. They used to hang out when Andrea’s boyfriend was not in the picture. Because of the constant warning
Nick is standing before her, he’s wearing his reading glasses, wearing sweatpants, and a hoodie but still, managed to look breathtakingly hot. He’s surprised to see her as much as she’s surprised. His eyes sparkled in love, the same old love she had seen in his eyes before. That made her heart race. But soon his face turned stern and his demanding her to say why she’s here. “Is Magnus here?” she asked even knowing that he won’t be here. “He’s not here. Don’t you know that he has moved out,” he asked. “Yeah, I know. I just… I should go,” she said and turned to leave, can’t able to stand in this embarrassment. That moment, something unexpected happened, Nick held her hand and yanked her in telling, “Come inside,” In a blink of an eye, she’s inside his apartment. It’s dark and she thought why can’t he switch on the lights. “Why are you here now? Instead of going home?” he asked walking to the kitchen. How does he know that
Nick’s phone started ringing, it’s an alert signal from the system. He turned it off and asked Naomi to hide somewhere holding his gun. She nods and walks to the stairs but then she was curious to see how she’s going to handle this situation, she always wondered is he that good with guns like everyone says so stood there watching him. He got a call from Vincent, he slides his phone into his pocket. He didn’t waste time seeing them in the peephole and turned on the fake alarm on that floor to distract them. He opened the door. Just a glance is enough for him to see there are two men armed and they were sent by Kaz, probably. He shot them both on the head in a blink of an eye, he’s faster than his opponents, just like how everyone described him. Naomi closed her mouth to see how easily he took two lives. Before falling down the dead guy also pulled the trigger which punctured the wall. Seeing that Nick frowned. “Fuck, you bas
Chapter- 44 “Stay away from Nickolas,” her dad’s warning kept coming back whenever she takes her phone to call Nick. That incident, the way he murdered two people before her eyes still comes as a nightmare. Her father asked her questions about why she went to his home in the first place, and she confessed that she wanted to see him. He didn’t like them being together now and she wondered why? Magnus is disappointed because she didn’t tell him anything. When Naomi got confused about the way they were worried, Vincent told, “Don’t ever do this again. Always inform me where are you going and stay away from Nick,” Their concern was she shouldn’t fall in the enemy’s eyes. If they suspect that they were in a relationship, then Naomi can’t enjoy her freedom. This reason is enough for her to lose her sleep. Naomi got upset for losing her mind like this. She disheartens her parents because of her love for Nick and she doesn’t know how to avoid it. Now that eve
Chapter- 45 Naomi is having her phone in her hands and for safety, she’s having a knife in her backpack which she knew she won’t use unless he gives her a chance to. She doesn’t know where he’s taking her and she doesn’t ask him because till now she didn’t feel anything weird. Her instincts didn’t tell her yet that this is dangerous. “Do you talk to Nick?” Andrei asks getting her attention. “That’s none of your business,” she said. If it was Nick, he would have gotten angry to hear all these snapping but Andrei taking it easy. But Naomi won’t talk this way to Nick. “Okay,” he asks, “Do you know where he is?” “What are you trying? We broke up three years before and you know that; then why are you asking?” “And you told him something about me that made him angry during the negotiation,” she frowned. “Don’t play around again,” She doesn’t know why; she utterly hates to talk with this guy. “I didn’t do anything, i
