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
ENZO’s POV. Michelle steers in her sleep and gently opens her eyes; I can’t help but smile back at the beautiful woman lying on my bed and wearing my clothes. No matter how much I gaze upon her, I can not get enough of her. I am actually glad that I discussed my feelings with her and now I feel a lot better. I can’t help but thank this woman enough. She has been an epitome of blessing ever since she came into my life and I have the moon goddess to thank for that. “Good morning beautiful” I say to her and her lips curl up. “How long have you been staring at me?” Her feminine voice reaches my ear. “Long enough to know you were having an erotic dream about me” I answer with a coy smirk on my lips, “I could see it” “Enzo!!” She beams and the color rush on her face is actually very massive, I love to see her happy and smiling. “But we will discuss about your dream later, today is an important day for us” Michelle shoots out of bed, “of course, and I can’t wait to see the
MICHELLE’s POV. After dropping the call, I let out a heavy sigh as a well dressed man walks onto the stage. This is the first time I am attending a gala and I can say this is out of this world. Right from the hall, the decor down to the light and everything is top notch. For the first day of show, Enzo really outdid himself because I can not keep my eyes to myself, the sight of everything is so beautiful to behold and not to talk of the crowd that had gathered. The guest list was filled with important men and seeing how the hall is full, it is safe to say that Enzo has made his mark in the world he exists in. I am the only one seated here right now and Maria told me Enzo specially prepared this place for me. I get to see everything happening on stage and I can’t help but feel proud of the man I married, he treats me like I am the only person on earth. My thoughts are interrupted by the man on the stage again and he is saying something which is making everyone chuckle ligh
MALACHI’s POV.She cried, she had tears in her eyes and it was because of me and she was fucking right. Bryer came into her life because of me. It is my fault that Mr Philips is in this condition, it is my fault that my wife cried and even slapped me. For the first time since we got married, I didn’t go after her. Not because I am upset but because I know she needs some space away from me.“Fuck!!” I mutter under my breath taking a few steps back from the elevator door. My world has come to a fucking standstill. We were happy a few hours ago so what the hell is this?“What’s going on man?” Kayden asks, “what’s happening?”“We need to get the doctor now,” I tell him before turning to my mother in law. She looks so pale and my heart breaks into a million pieces again. It is my fault that everything has happened, I caused this.“Mum…” my voice trails off, I don’t even know what to say to her at this point. She could hate me too, I caused her husband to be here in the first place.“You sh
ODETTE’s POV. Right from Costa Rica down till when the plane touched down in New York, I didn’t say a word and I didn’t call any of my family members. I can’t lie, I was scared. I was scared of what they would say, I was scared that something had happened to my father and I didn’t want to hear it. I was so anxious that I wished we could reach sooner. One of Malachi’s cars was already waiting when the plane landed and in no time, we were on our way to the city hospital. That man, he loves me like a real daughter and never made me feel the absence of a real father. I don’t even know any other father aside from him. How can he come down with a heart attack? Father is not one to neglect his health so how is that even possible? I close my eyes and sniff back a tear, I feel like I am about to lose my fucking mind, I am about to go crazy. Malachi wraps his hand around my waist and pulls me closer and I let him. I rest my head on his shoulder and allow myself to feel whatever I need
MALACHI’s POV.Seeing my wife in that position gives me one of the biggest hardons ever but I don’t want to tire her out again so I only help her shower and put her to bed. She looked so beautiful moaning like that a while back, I wouldn’t be able to keep that image of her out of my head even if I tried.“Are you tired?” I ask as I cover her with the blanket.“Well, can’t say I am not” her face breaks into a small smile, “but I loved that, it was…adventurous, you could say that”I lean forward and press a kiss on her forehead, “now take some rest okay? I have some work to finish in the living room”“Don’t be long, okay?”“Of course princess”After another kiss, I finally make my way out of the room, switching off the light on my way out. I still have a hard on and I doubt it will reduce soon. The moon goddess knows how much I want her but I can’t be so selfish to do that to her after making her fuck herself and I watched.My lips tilt slightly, that image is going to be in my head fo
ODETTE’s POV.Swimming more laps, I finally pull my wet body out of the water as my face breaks into a smile. Malachi is seated at the foot of the pool, his eyes on me with a glass of red wine in hand. Ever since I got pregnant, he has refused to taste any kind of alcohol, he said he didn’t want his child to think his father is an alcoholic.“Aren’t you tired?” He asks me, his voice a mixture of warmth and love.“How about you swim with me?” I inquire with a pout, “the water is nice babe, the moon is beautiful. What more do you want? The night is perfect”“With you everything is perfect, my love” he tells me, a wink following suit, “you know that, don’t you?”My cheeks flush and my smile widens, this man knows how to make me smile without making an effort.“Come and swim with me, Malachi”“I am supposed to be keeping an eye on you, babe”“Come here, Mr man” I raise an eyebrow at him, “or I going to be mad at you”He lets out a sigh before chugging down his entire glass.Before I can s
BRYER’s POV.From afar, I see him taking a sip of his coffee. I know he wouldn’t want to see me now but if I want to get everything back, I need to get his trust back.I just need the right amount of words and pretense.Throwing the half cigarette on the floor, I squash it with my leg before making my way into the café. I have to do this now, I need to make a fucking move. I can’t just sit idle waiting for something to happen.“Mason!” I call out his name gently and he immediately springs up from the chair, anger written on his face.“What are you doing here, Bryer?”I glance at the lady beside him, the one from the salon. I didn’t know two of them were acquaintances, I could have gotten some information for free from her.“Miss Bryer” her face breaks into a small smile.“I didn’t know you knew him” I tell her, flashing her a smile, “Boyfriend?”“It is none of your business” Mason snaps before she can even answer me, “what do you want, Bryer?”I let out a sigh, he has his guards up mo
MALACHI’s POV.“Oh my world!!” Odette screams as soon as I push open the door to the cottage. Imagine the look of surprise and awe on her face when the plane touched down Costa Rica. She has been beaming smiles since then. A few days ago when we had that subway experience, she made mention of the fact that she would like to live normally and I decided to make that happen. Bring her to a place where no one would care about us and just be normal for a few days.I purchased this cottage two days ago and seeing everything, I am in love with it already. The three bedroom cottage which is a little away from the town, looks like something out of a fairytale with a beautiful lake behind and a garden full of beautiful flowers by the side. There is also a swimming pool in front of it, adding an extra layer of magnificence to the house. The former owner sure took care of it because it looks much more amazing than the photos I saw.“How did you even come across this babe?” Odette asks as we cont
ODETTE’s POV.The doorbell rings and I hurry out of the kitchen to open it. Malachi left for the office because he had a meeting, I was asleep when he even left. I decided to make breakfast for myself. At this point I miss Mason, he would have been here to keep me company but I understand that young man is busy with school and I will hate to ruin that.My face breaks into a little smile when I see the person standing outside my door..Emma.“Good morning ma’am” she greets politely.“Good morning Emma, what brings you here?” I open the door wider, “please come on in”“That won’t be necessary ma’am, the boss asked us to bring this for you”This is when I notice the big box the man behind her is carrying.“He said we should have it delivered, he will be home in five minutes to take care of what’s inside”“Okay, please you can keep it in the living room”“Sure ma’am”After he drops the box, he bows lightly and makes his way out again.“Why don’t you stay for breakfast?”“Thank you so much
ODETTE’s POV.When my husband pushes the door open and walks into a room, a frown immediately settles on my face when I see him. He doesn’t have a bruise on his face but I can feel it, he looks tired and a bit worn out.“What happened to you?” I ask him immediately and he comes to sit beside me but instead Malachi pulls me to a hug and rests his head on my shoulder. I allow him to do that, he clearly needs the hug but that still doesn’t stop the fear I felt when I saw him a while back.We stay like that for a while until he finally lets go of me but our faces remain only an inch apart.“Are you okay, babe?”“Hm” he nods with a gentle smile, “I am fine, my love”“Are you lying to me?”“Why would I do that?” He asks me, tucking a few strands of my hair to the back of my ear, “I just had a boxing match with Zachary”“What?” The frown on my face intensifies, why would he even do that? This is unlike Malachi to want to indulge my ex husband more than necessary. Is something going on that I
ZACHARY’s POV.After the call, I push Bryer off of me and pull my half naked body off the bed. After the security led us out of the gala hall last night, she was so upset that she decided to down in alcohol and I ended up going with her. I didn’t want to leave her alone lest she caused another kind of trouble for me. I am still trying to figure out a way to get out of this one. I thought Odette would be happy when I told her but I seem to have forgotten how stubborn that wife of mind is.After drinking her life out, I brought Bryer to my house and we ended up having sex. Sex with her isn’t as exciting as it was from the beginning when everything was fined when I had Odette wrapped around my fingers and I could get her to do anything and everything i wanted. I guess it was the thrill and the adrenaline of that time that kept me going. Now everything felt bland and upsetting. I can’t wait to get my wife back and have my life in order again.“Where are you going?” Bryer asks as she pulls
