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
Nick drove her to his apartment, he knew she doesn’t want to go there and he can’t leave her alone. Throughout the ride, Naomi was silent and cried sometimes sitting in the back seat. He has no clue about what Andrei said to her but that must be something important.They came to his apartment, it’s all the same as the last time she’s here except for the fact that it’s been a year and she has witnessed double murder.It started raining. Naomi sat on the couch and her hands were shaking because of everything she comes to know. Andrei’s words were like poison, it’s all overhead and messing up her beliefs.Nick kneeled on the floor before her and took her hands. “What happened? Why did you go to his house?” he asks. His tone, his gaze, and everything is just like Nick she loves.She looked at him, his eyes, his soft gaze made her vulnerable. She cried and he held her hand. “I don’t
Chapter- 46“Oh my God! Oh my God! My brother! My brother,” Naomi screamed and jumped when she saw Jorge coming out of the airport. She didn’t mind people watching at her.She ran to him; he lifted her from the ground and he twirled her in joy. Derek watched them with a smile.“I missed you so much. Ah look at my handsome brother,” she looked at him and sighed.“Thanks, Mr. Lawyer,” he smiled. She then turned her attention to Derek, he’s breathtakingly handsome. These guys have grown up, groomed, and look like they were straight out of the modeling studio. She’s the only person looking the same and gotten lean with all those stress to graduate.“Hey, Derek. How are you?” she asks and hugged him. “I am great, Nat and you look amazing,” he said pulling out of the hug.“Thanks,” she smiles. They are okay compared to when he left five years ago.
Chapter- 47Naomi is anxious than ever when she got down from the car with Jorge. The party is about to begin and guests were started arriving. Naomi is wearing a peach-colored silk dress, some jewels, light makeup, and her chest-length hair is left free. She’s growing her hair again after seeing her old photos, particularly the photos she took with Nick. Though she hated her hair back then she can't deny she's beautiful with long hair. She wanted to be like that again. Naomi got everyone’s attention as she looked stunningly beautiful. The anniversary party is going to be at their hotel’s hall with high security, they have invited only the close relatives and friends. Magnus and Nick made sure that nothing bad happens on this occasion as Alexandro’s were looking for chances to ruin their happiness.“It’s beautiful,” Jorge said looking at the decorations in the hall.“I chose this design,”
