NATALIA’s POV. The moment my eyes settle on the lady at the top of the stairs, my heart actually skips a beat. It can’t be her, can it? What is she doing here? It is someone that looks like her, yeah? The more I continue to stare back at her, the more confused I get. Even Nicholas has his mouth open in awe. Not in my life did I ever expect to see her here, how did she even get here? What exactly is she planning now? Truth be told, I can not wrap my head around the fact that Michelle is in this house and what did Enzo just call her? His wife? How can she be his wife? She hadn’t even divorced Nicholas for a month and another man is already calling her wife? Is this some kind of joke or something? What exactly is she doing here? Isn’t she supposed to be somewhere begging for help from strangers since she refused the alimony that Nicholas offered her? She isn’t supposed to be living in luxury like this. Something is definitely wrong somewhere and I am going to find out how
NICHOLAS’s POV. As soon as I set my eyes upon her at the top of the stairs, I gulped. She looks so pretty from the last time I saw her with that beautiful dress gracing her body. Her hair is pulled up in a neat ponytail and those long legs remind me of those days when she would wrap them around me and I would take her time without numbers. But hearing Enzo call her his wife makes me so angry, how can she be his wife when we have barely divorced for a month? How did she even meet him? Was it at the hospital? Is he the little boyfriend that sent the alimony back to me? The more I think about it, the more I am unable to place what is happening. Seeing the way he cups her neck and presses a kiss on her bare shoulder makes my blood boil. The Michelle I knew was one of the sweetest Lunas, how did she end up tangled with someone like Enzo? The more I look at it, the more it looks like a sham to me. How can good things happen to her when she is the worst. Locking her own si
ENZO’s POV. THREE HOURS AGO. As soon as I step into the room, my eyes open wide as I behold the lady standing in front of the mirror. This is the dress that I have been designing for months and seeing it on her body, I can’t help but be proud of myself. The details, the way it clings to her body and accentuates her figure, the flowery pattern and everything is just as I have imagined and it is safe to say this is the most gorgeous piece I have ever created. Michelle has her hair pulled back in a ponytail and the little makeup on her face looks so beautiful on her. This woman is an epitome of beauty and grace and that’s the biggest truth. I can’t help but swallow hard as I continue to take slow steps towards her, my eyes not leaving her for even a moment. “You look so breathtaking, my love” I say as I snake my hand around her waist, “you look spectacular” “This dress is sure very pretty” Michelle answers, “you did a great job with every single detail of the dress and
MICHELLE’s POV. I feel a hand snake my waist and I pull closer to him before pushing my eyes open. His scent filters into my nose and I can’t help but smile a little. After the whole Nicholas saga, Enzo had to leave for an impromptu meeting at the hospital and he just got back. Ever since I met him, I have developed a bad habit of not being able to sleep if I was not in his arms and that’s the same thing that had happened tonight. It is already past twelve but I am still awake because he was not at home but having him by my side now, i feel like all my problems have finally come to an end. “You couldn't sleep without me” his voice filter into my ear, “I am sorry I didn’t come soon” “I read a book though” I tell him, “and it kept me company” “Hmm” We are both silent for a while, a lot going through our minds and even if I can not hear his thoughts, I can guess what is going through his mind. “You did well today, my love. '' His husky voice reaches my ear and I gulp
MICHELLE’s POV. The moment her words reach my ear, my forehead creases into a slight frown. What does she mean by the model was here? Nicholas refused to sign the contract so why is she here? The more I think about it, the more nothing makes sense to me. What exactly is Nicholas planning to do now? He has always been a sly one. “What do you mean the model from Aer is here?” I ask Maria. “I was also unaware of this arrangement ma’am” Maria answers, “i just received a call now” “Nicholas” Enzo growls in anger as he balls his hands into a fist. After a few seconds, the lady comes in front of us and she is not someone I know. I actually know the top model that Enzo was trying to get but this lady looks different from all the models I have seen. I would have recognized her if she was truly the one Enzo wanted. “I am not late, am I?” She asks the moment she comes to a halt in front of us, “my plane was delayed for half an hour and that’s why I am a bit late” “Excuse me,
ENZO’s POV. Heaving a sigh, I push my body on the chair before picking up my phone. I have been in surgery for five hours and luckily, we were able to save the young man at the last minute. I left Michelle back at the office under Maria’s guild and I know she is going to do well. My baby is a smart ass and how can I not be proud of her? Looking at the time, it is already past six and I am certain she is getting ready for that dinner. I know exactly what that woman is planning and I want to sit back and enjoy the show because it is going to be a fight slap on Nicholas’s face. Massaging the space between my brows, I press back against my reclining chair before picking up my phone and dialing her number. After a ring, she answers and my lips curl into a smile the moment I hear her voice. “Hey baby!!” Her excited voice reach my ear, “I was thinking about you” “Are you already missing me that much?” I ask her. “Of course, I miss you every moment of the day when you
NICHOLAS’s POV. “What exactly are you planning on, Nicholas?” Natalia asks me as I make my way towards the car, “why aren’t you telling me anything? I know we want to fuck Michelle and that Enzo guy up but what exactly is going on in your mind? At least let me in so I can help you” “Michelle belongs to me, Natalia. Whatever she is today, I made her her and I will be danmed if I let another man have her. I signed the contract today and we have a lot to discuss about the fashion function over dinner. I have a week to show Enzo that I still have her wrapped around my fingertips, you know that, don’t you?” “One question, Nicholas,” Natalia continues, “do not forget that we are in this together and yes, I want to see her in pain for all the pain she has caused me. I don’t care what you do to her or how you make Enzo hate her but do not forget that we have a baby coming on the way and you can not go back to your ex mate” “She disgusts me, Nat” I tell her, “but I would rather she b
MICHELLE’s POV. As soon as I enter my room; I slump on the bed and close my eyes for a moment. I am trying to expel the anger from my body. Nicholas is not even worth even a cent of my anger. How can he just show up in my life and try to take my back like I am some kind of commodity? Isn’t he afraid of being struck by lightning because of his behavior? The more I think about it, the more angry I become. I am even pissed with Enzo because even as I went to the hospital, he refused to tell me anything and kept saying he was fine. I had to leave because he had a surgery but that’s not the end of the matter, he must tell me what is actually bothering him. I am not sure for how long I have closed my eyes but when I open them, I find myself in a field full of flowers and a woman is standing far off. The moment I see her, I know she is not someone ordinary just from the aura emanating from her. Her inky long black hair is cascading down her back and her garment looks so white
