ENZO’s POV. As soon as I step out, I place the phone against my ear as a familiar voice filters into my ear. “We found the judge, boss” Stephan says from the other end. Stephan is also one of my trusted men, he also gets the job done quickly. “Good, bring him in. I will have a talk with him before the show” “Yes boss” As I end the call, I close my eyes for a moment to calm myself down. Finding out that Nicholas came to take my wife to the court with him annoyed me the most and I think it is high time I bring him to his knees, he wouldn’t dare to even look at her again if I am done with him. With this at the back of my head, I make my way back into the room. Now Michelle is pacing up and around the room and I know exactly what is going on in her mind, I know exactly what she is passing through now and I know what is about to happen. “Get him treated” I tell Izzy before grabbing a hold of my wife’s hand, “Let’s go” She picks up her bag and the moment we board the c
NATALIA’s POV. Pacing up and down the room, I pick up my phone and dial his number again but for the umpteenth time, he doesn’t answer. This is the first time he is behaving like this and he knows how much I hate to be left alone. It is already past eight and he should be back at the hotel by now. Is he with Michelle? A lot is going on in my head as I continue to pace around while still calling his number. What I am doing is interrupted when the door opens and Nicholas ventures into the room and immediately I feel the hair on the back of my neck stand on edge. I know this feeling, I have felt it before and it is not one I will like to experience ever again. Angry Nicholas is one of the worst things someone can experience and I really do not want that again, not now. “Hey baby” I fake a smile on my face and try to touch him but he halts me in my tracks, a gesture that makes me gulp. “Get dressed, Natalia” he orders and a slight frown appears in my face. “Are we going
MICHELLE’s POV. Standing near the door, I can’t help but admire the man who is seated behind the mahogany desk with his attention on the documents in front of him and how he looks so good in glasses and with his hair falling over his face like that. Gosh, this man is so hot and when I mean hot, I mean he is the most handsome man that has walked the face of the earth because how can he look this good even without trying? “Do I need to learn his skin care?” I think to myself and can’t help but scoff, this man literally doesn’t have any skin care routine. “Are you going to keep ogling at me from the door?” Enzo finally looks up as he leans back on the chair giving me a full view of the god that he is, “you are clearly drooling over me and you won’t come to meet me?” “I wasn’t drooling over you” I tell him and he chuckles lightly. “Have you forgotten that I can listen to your every thought, dear wife?” Wife? Hmm I love the sound of that. “Come here!! Gosh, I immedi
NICHOLAS’s POV. I push open the door and saunter into the room. The moment Natalia sees me, she slowly pushes her body to a sitting position as a sigh leaves her lips. After her fall two days ago, I had to bring her back home after confirming that she lost the baby due to a miscarriage. At the time, I felt like the worst person on earth because that child was supposed to be mine but now it is gone. No matter how I thought about it, I couldn’t wrap my head around it but now seated in front of her with a small smile on her lips, I just don’t know how to feel. “Why do you look so glum?” She asks me, “are you okay?” “How do you feel now?” I ask her in return, my gaze traveling around her. “Just a little headache but I am tough, I will be fine” “I see, you will be fine '' I scoff as I take my hand through my hair as the thought of Michelle winds its way into my head. I remember how her giggles and her chuckles sound, how she makes a pout when she can not get something do
ENZO’s POV. I am seated on the kitchen counter watching my wife as she makes breakfast. Michelle insisted on making breakfast and I allowed her too. Now I am having a cup of coffee while watching her make breakfast for the both of us. I can’t even take my eyes off of her for reasons best known to me. Looking at how happy she looks while swinging her waist from side to side listening to some music, I make up my mind that I must protect this woman at all cost, no matter what happens. My attention is drawn to the phone on the table when it starts to blink and when I see the caller ID, I immediately pick it up and press it against my ear. “Hello” “Sir” Mr Hernandez’s voice filters into my ear. “Tell me, why have you called?” “I have sent the copy of the approved divorce papers to your email sir and I called to let you know” “Very well then, thank you” I end the call and place the phone back on the table as my attention returns to the lady who is now dishing the food i
NICHOLAS’s POV. Pressing my back against the chair, I massage the space between my brows as a little groan escapes my lips. This is when the door opens and my assistant saunters into the office with some documents in hand. “Boss” he bows gently and place the documents on the table before me, “Since the press conference organized by Avanti a few hours ago, our stocks have been plummeting despite the success recorded from the fashion week” “Hmmm, I see” I don’t bother to react to it because I already knew it was going to happen after everything. I also woke up this morning to the news about Michelle and I know who the person that did that was. I know Michelle is suspicious of me but she is right in all ramifications to be suspicious of me. “And about the company that published the article, Avanti has already sued them for defamation” “How fast” I mutter under my breath, “that’s good then, add another lawsuit to that. They dared to publish rubbish about my company and abo
MICHELLE’s POV. My phone keeps ringing non stop even after I have declined all the calls. I am not in the mood to talk to anyone, especially after Enzo left this morning for an impromptu business meeting to spain. It is clearly a day’s meeting but I am already missing him and how I wish he will just come home. My phone rings again, jolting me out of my train of thought and I roll my eyes to the back of my head before picking it up and pressing it against my ear. “Hello” my angry voice resonates around, “I am clearly ignoring your call and you are still calling” “I am outside your house” Nicholas’s voice filters into my ear and the frown on my face intensifies, how dare he? “You sure have some nerves showing your face in front of me” “Just come on out, Michelle” he blurts, “this is important” “You can talk to Enzo regarding anything Nicholas, you and I have no business talking to each other and the next time you call me, I swear you will regret it” “I won’t leave unti
ENZO’s POV. An hour ago. The moment Xavier brings the car to a halt in front of the hospital, I immediately alight and rush towards the entrance. I was in the meeting when Izzy called and I had to leave everything to come running back to America and goodness knows I won’t be able to forgive myself if anything happened to her. Just as I am about to enter the hospital, someone calls out my name and I turn around to see Nicholas taking long strides towards me. The moment I see him, my blood begins to boil and I just want to snap his head off his body. The nerve of him to show his face to me after what he did to Michelle. It is his fault that she is in the hospital now and dared to show his face here. “What the fuck do you think you are doing here?” I grit my teeth in anger as the inkling to grab him by the neck envelopes me. “I have come to talk to you about Michelle” he answers and I clench my teeth together. “Don’t you dare take my wife’s name with your mouth or I will
