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,”
Chapter- 48The moment Julia walked into the hall, she felt something nostalgic. She missed this vibe, where she sees everyone smiling happily and there are no serious faces around the corner.She’s even happier to see the one person she yearned to meet –Jorge.He’s there talking to his bros, all dressed in a black suit and looked like all the words that one put to describe a handsome man. He’s here and it’s so fucking real. Julia hated the fact that she can’t go and talk to him as if nothing happened between them. Like they didn’t share their first kiss and almost got undressed to make love on that one fateful day in the past.It was still fresh in Julia’s memory and it will forever stay like that. She confessed her love for him but he rejected her even after showing so many signs that he liked her too and after that, there was this cold war between them. But soon everything sorted out before he left
He turned and kissed Julia passionately. She was surprised at first and kissed him back with a smile. Jorge sat on the couch holding Julia’s hand. She sat on his lap to continue their kiss. His hands slowly moved inside that t-shirt and she left out a gasp to feel it. She couldn’t wait anymore and her hands unfastened his jeans. They didn’t stop kissing while doing this. They both touched each other, turning them on and when they were about to get rid of the clothes. The car horn sound got their attention. “Shit!” Jorge said and Julia got up from him. She adjusted her dress and he did the same. They both sat down on the couch as nothing happened after turning on the television and Julia’s parents entered home the next moment. “Hey, Jorge what a surprise,” Dan smiled. He went and hugged his Uncle and Aunt. They had a small conversation. Dan and Tamika left them alone to sleep as Tamika is drunk. “This is wrong?” Jorge said. “Oh, but not for
Chapter- 49 After having her lunch at the cafeteria with her colleague Emma, Naomi walked to the elevator telling about her life with her brothers. Emma is so curious to know about it but not that creepily curious. She’s just like the girls who were interested to know about her brothers, especially Jorge and Magnus. Jorge joined four days and he’s the talk of the building. He captured so many girl’s hearts here. Naomi answered a few of her questions and said that their brothers were already having girlfriends. Hope this might ensure her brother’s privacy. “They must be protective of you,” Emma said. “Yeah, so protective. They didn’t allow me to date anyone guy in school,” she answered. “You are so lucky to have brothers like that,” she said. “Yes,” Naomi chuckled. When the elevator door opened on the tenth floor, she saw Magnus waiting for her. “Good afternoon, sir,” Emma said to Magnus and he just nodded with a smile.
Two years later“Mermaid,” Nick’s voice made her stir up from her sleep. But she didn’t open her eyes thinking this is her dream. “Wake up, mermaid. Look at your kingdom,” he chuckled softly.Naomi smiled, still thinking this is a dream.“Darling open your eyes and look at this ocean. Don’t waste time sleeping here,” he said and yes, she could hear the sound of the ocean.Naomi left a small sigh and opened her eyes to look at the blue sea from the window.She smiles and her gaze turns to Nick.“Isn’t that beautiful?” he asks. “Yes,” she nods smiling at him.“Now, wake up. I want to go there with you,” he said.“Give me five minutes, please,” she requested, squinting her eyes. He can’t deny it when she does that expression.“Fine,”When he was about to get up, sh
Chapter- 58Naomi is sitting on the small chair before her wardrobe and looking at which dress to wear for Magnus-Lisa’s engagement party tomorrow. This is the first party that they were going to attend after Nick came home.Nick came in and stood next to her after finishing off some work in his office. “What are you looking at?” He asks. His voice sounded tired and he placed his hand on her shoulder.“My clothes aren’t fitting me anymore so I am looking at which one I should wear for tomorrow,” she said.“Can I give you a suggestion?” he asks. “Sure, you can,” Naomi smiles. Nick took a moment and pointed out a yellow dress. “This would be great on you,” he said.“Thanks,” Naomi likes his choice and looks up to meet his eyes. He just simply put her at ease. Being pregnant isn’t that easy as she always stressing out about everythin
Chapter- 57Nick’s scars have healed as a week passed. He mostly stayed at home. Naomi went to work but her thoughts were always on Nick. Now she becomes that worried person in their relationship. She would call Nick often and he loves to attend her calls as he was bored to be alone at home. Naomi would come home earlier and they would watch movies, talk endlessly and fall asleep clasping hands.They have checked with the doctor and Naomi was prescribed medicines and advised not to get stressed at this time.She agreed and they were coming back to normal. But they were also being more conscious about their safety. Naomi double-checks the locks before going to sleep and also had a nightmare which she never wanted to remember. She has been taking advice from her mom, Aunts and they visit her often. When she’s with Nick, she felt safe and happy.In the meantime, Vincent has taken a decision and when he said it to the others, no one thoughts it&rs
Chapter- 56 Everyone’s eyes were fixed at the doorstep where Nick stood, not in his usual brisk. His injuries were covered by the jacket he’s wearing. Even though his face is utterly dull, he managed to plaster a smile for everyone’s sake of happiness. His eyes for Naomi and when he spotted her near stairs, his smile grew wider turning into a happy grin. She’s staring at him back with a smile, it gave him a comfort at last after all that he endured in the past two days. All his family members were there. Magnus has cut off his trip short to see his best friend. He was so worried and completely angry at Andrei. At the time he’s so happy to know that he’s going to be an Uncle soon. “Why everyone looking at me like that?” he asks. “I am alright,” He walked in holding his father’s hand. Naomi can’t help but feel gloomy to see him. “For a few more days. Don’t hug me,” Nick warned them with a smile. Julia and his mom were one’s who hi
Chapter- 55Naomi is sitting in the garden silently and she didn’t look anywhere except her phone. Her thoughts were all on Nick. She’s waiting for the call from Jorge.That time, Julia came with coffee and some potato chips.“Nat, you didn’t eat anything? At least have this coffee,” she said.Naomi finally realized that she should eat, at least for her baby. So she got that mug and sipped the coffee.She looked dull more than she ever was.Nick was shot two times, in the shoulder and chest. It’s critical but he survived. Obviously, the person responsible for this is Andrei.“Nat. I know my brother, he’s such a strong person so don’t worry, okay,”She nods but nothing can comfort her at this time. It’s only Nick, his voice and his assurance that he’s okay are what she’s yearning for right now.“You know what Julia. I am so afraid right now,
Chapter- 54Nick is traveling to Miami and Los Vegas for some business. Naomi is sad but she didn’t show it on her face. She just stood beside the foot of the bed and watching him packing his stuff.“I will be back soon,” he said noticing the apparent sadness in her face.“Okay,” she smiles. “And stay at your father’s home, okay,” he said and she nods in assurance.“I would have taken you with me but I am not going for a normal trip.“Okay,” she nods and went to him.“You have to be safe,” she said caressing his hair.“Don’t worry about me,” he smiles and his hands were resting on her butt.He’s going to leave in two hours and Naomi has something important to tell him but she hesitates to open that up at this time. She wants to reveal it at a perfect moment so she chose to be silent.“I just have an hour left
Chapter- 53“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” Andrei gritted and punched the table hard which heard louder in that empty room.“How could that bastard do this? Again and Again,” Andrei punched the wooden table repeatedly considering that as Nick’s face. He wants to beat him to death and leave him to die painfully. That’s when he could feel better.Andrei isn’t happy with the way Nick has crashed one of his businesses and he has lost millions in this. In the past year, Andrei has maintained low and living a normal life looking after his business but this again tempting him to put the revenge on. He can’t leave this matter; he can’t accept this failure and he’s never going to back down like his father.He took his phone and called his uncle. “I want you to kill him now, don’t give me any fucking excuse. I really want him to be dead this time.“But it’s not that easy, it
“I didn’t meet Nick, Julia’s brother?” she said. “You met him, I introduced him as Nicholas, he got long hair,” Derek reminded. “Yeah, that handsome guy. I remember him. He didn’t chat with us like others so I thought he’s a distant relative and he looked different from the photos,” she said. Monica doesn’t have siblings like Derek, she’s quite interested in his cousins and wants to know how they were so close. When they were in London, he didn’t share this many details with her.Now after meeting all his family members personally she got so many questions. They were all good-looking and interesting people.“He’s a busy person. He actually came there for Naomi, they were together now,” Derek said. “You mean in a relationship?” “Yeah, they were dating on and off since high school,” he answered. “That’s in
Chapter- 52 It was a weekend, Jorge came out of the airport carrying his small travel bag. He’s wearing a black shirt and black slacks and sunglasses covering his blue eyes. He looked like a greek god in modern attire. He removed his sunglasses when he spotted Julia waiting for him and his lips curled in a smile. When Julia saw him, she ran to him with a smile. He lifted her from the ground and her hands, legs were wrapped around him in a strong embrace. She didn’t mind doing such a thing in public because she missed him that much. It’s been two weeks since they met. He started kissing her when she stood on her feet. “I missed you, baby,” he said. She smiled and stood away from him to take a proper look at hi
