Nita's Revenge Twenty Three
“Done”Nita stared at the word on her phone, her heart thundered in her chest, but before she could process it, someone grabbed her arm, and she found herself yanked towards the emergency stairs. The elevator were packed with people trying to escape, or was it people pressing the button and not giving it time to open before pressing again. When she looked up to see who was holding her, it was Nick. He held her with one hand and Nate with the other. At the side of her eyes, she saw Jimmy running after them as they pushed through the throngs of panicked people.It wasn’t the time for talking; it was the time to escape whatever had happened at the lower level of the hotel. They had come out of the hotel through the back door, and numerous occupants were also there. Some were scantily dressed, while some still have soap in their hair as if they had ran out of the bathroom in an urgent. Most of the hotel was fine, but a single room looked thoroughly burnt. It was as if the room was purpo
Nita's Revenge Twenty Four
The silence in the car stretched on like a shadow, swallowing words neither Nita nor Nick seemed willing to utter; especially not in Nate’s presence. Nate lay quietly in her lap, his eyes closed but his breaths shallow, a rhythm that betrayed the fear still gripping him. They were supposed to go home, but then… the explosion. Every time the image flashed in his mind, he squeezes his mother’s hand a little tighter, as if she were his only anchor in the swirling chaos.Nita’s gaze flickered back to her phone, while her hand rubbed Nate’s hair softly. The single word stared up at her from a message received earlier. Whatever happened now, the threat was over. Yet she couldn’t shake the unease, especially since she had no idea how it had been handled. But she trusted her contact; he had always been competent, almost eerily so. He had been working for her ever since she started receiving strange text, and he had never disappointed. Nita watched as the car rolled into the estate, her breat
Nita's Revenge Twenty Five
Nick had never realized how much fun it could be to spend time with a child, especially his own son. Maybe it was because he’d never spared children much of his time before, or maybe it was because this particular child was his blood. Either way, he found himself enjoying every small moment with Nate. And, as a bonus, the boy was happily sharing tidbits about his mother – information Nick knew he’d never get from Nita herself. “So, you mean that man isn’t your mother’s husband?” Nick asked, trying to sound casual as they walked together.Nate narrowed his eyes in confusion, “Which man?”“The one who’s always with you,” Nick replied, his voice softeningNate laughed at the suggestion, looking up with an innocence that made Nick’s heart clench. “That’s my mother’s personal assistant. Don’t be silly.”Nick stopped dead in his tracks.He had been stopping himself from getting closer to Nita because of her personal assistant. He had really thought she had moved on, but it seemed they were
Nita's Revenge One
“I’m done!” The words were so familiar to her, yet so strange coming from her husband’s mouth. They had been married for less than six months, and although it was an arranged marriage, Nita thought her husband was starting to develop feelings for her, so what could have gone wrong?She found it hard to process his words, so she stuttered confused, “Nick…”She wanted to ask more questions, but he was done listening to her. He pushed a brown envelop towards her, “This is the divorce agreement, sign it and the necessary alimony would be sent to your account. Isn’t that why you married me? For money”Nita had never felt that low in her life. Yes, she was from a poor family, and their marriage was an arranged one, but she had never once thought about the wealth that comes from being Nick’s wife. She had gotten married for her grandfather’s sake and now she had developed feelings for Nick.When she didn’t say any word, Nick continued, “I’ll leave this house for you as part of your alimon
Nita's Revenge Two
Nick sat upright and sighed. When the security had called that his wife was in the estate, Nick had made arrangement with two of his workers to dress in a provocative manner and to act that way; he needed to make sure that Nita had no reason to come back to him. He knew she wasn’t going to give up unless he did something drastic.When he first met Nita, he already knew he might end up developing feelings for his wife, but he never knew it was going to be that extreme. So, when the doctor told him about his illness and the possibility of dying young, he decided it was better to break Nita’s heart now than watch her watch him die. “You can go.” He told the maids that scurried off the bed immediately. He got up and dressed up before calling his personal assistant. “Make sure there’s someone always following my wife from a distance and always give me report of her where about? I want to know everything going on with her.”Joel, his personal assistant answered affirmatively. He had no i
Nita's Revenge Three
Nita felt pressure on her head; she felt as if the weight of the world was on her and it was hard for her to open her eyes. When she did, she was surprised by the strange room she met herself. Thankfully, there was a familiar face beside her. The maid was asleep, but still held her hand tight. As she tried to remove her hand from the maid’s, she stirred awake. Her eyes widened when she saw Nita. “Are you okay, ma?” Nita nodded. “Where are we?” The maid narrated how she was almost hit by a car and how she had collapsed due to stress. Nita remembered how she had seen Nick with two women just few hours after giving her the divorce letter. She bit her lower lips and tears streamed down her face. She had thought their marriage would have a second chance, but has it was, Nick couldn’t wait to be rid of her so he could have all the fun he wanted in this life. Her stomach rumbling caused her to touch it. She hadn’t eaten all day. The day had been stressful; she had received a divorce
Nita's Revenge Four
Five Years Later. Nita held a little boy who seemed to want to know everything and why it had to be where it was. He had asked her a million questions in the few hours they had arrived at the airport. “Mummy, is this where daddy lives?” She sighed, “Nate, I already told you a million times that you don’t have a daddy. You only have me.” Nate shook his head, “But that’s impossible, mum. Everybody has a daddy and a mummy, how can I have only a mum. Also, Aunt Mia told me my dad stays in the state.” Nita bit her lips; Mia. Nate had her wrapped around his fingers perfectly that she couldn’t refuse him anything. She would do anything for him. Nita decided she would call Mia to warn her about giving him false hope. “We need to get to the hotel, baby. Mummy is late for her meeting.” When she left the state with Mia five years ago, she had no plans of returning, but five years later, she was more confident than she could have ever been in her life. She wasn’t just Nita Grimm anymore
Nita's Revenge Five
Nita smiled at the face before her. She had strictly told Mia that she wanted to go alone, but just like how she loved to meddle with things, she had sent him after her. She wouldn’t say she wasn’t glad to see him. So, she pulled him for a hug. “Come on. Don’t tell me you allowed Mia forced you to the state?” Jimmy shook his head, “You know I have never been forced to do anything in my life. I followed you here because I wanted to Nita. It wasn’t because of Mia” He pulled out of the hug and held her face like she was made of porcelain. “Look at you. Few hours away from me and you already looked stressed.” Nita hit him playfully on his chest, “Come in. I’m sure Nate will be so glad to see you.” He laughed too, “Where’s that naughty boy? I missed him.” She led the way to her room. Jimmy was her assistant that also had a huge crush on her. He never hides the fact that he wanted her, and although Nita had rejected his open proposal numerous times, he always comes back. She didn’

“Where are we going?” Nate stood at the edge of the bed as he glanced at his mother. A suitcase lay open in front of her, and she was busy depositing every of their belongings into it. She paused for a moment, and directed her gaze towards Nate. “Don’t you want to go back home? Don’t you want to see Aunty Mia and Aunty Fiona?”Her son looked down at the suitcase. Leaving the state meant he wouldn’t be able to search for his father, and also he won’t be able to meet ‘Chocolate man’ again. Uncle Jimmy already promised to help with the search, but for some reason, he hadn’t made any progress. “Why? Can’t we stay few more days?” He needed to say his goodbye to chocolate man. Nita narrowed her eyes at him, “And why do we need to do that? We’re done with what we came here for? I promise you won’t miss anything here.”He frowned, not deeming that a response. He left the room in a hurry, and Nita focused on arranging the bags. She had booked an urgent flight, and informed Mia she was retu

Nita’s breath caught in her throat. ‘My son’ The words echoed in her head, bouncing around in the pit of her stomach like a ticking bomb. There was no way he could have found out? There was no way he could have known that Nate was his son. She had done everything within her power to keep it secret and top classified, protected from the Grimm family’s influence. And now he was here, claiming he wanted to see, ‘his son’“You came here to visit your son.” Her voice was barely above a whisper as she asked. Her eyes narrowed as she scrutinized him. She had to stay calm, so she could easily refute his claim. She couldn’t suddenly lose control now – not when the stakes were so highShe knew if Nate heard even a hint about his father, he would hold unto that sliver of information’ squeezing until he bled her dry to tell him everything.And what happens to her years of sacrifice?Gone. Gone down the drain in the blink of an eye. Nick leaned against the kitchen counter, his eyes never leaving

The deep voice sent shivers down her spine, “Good day, wife.” Nita intended to slam the door back on his face, but he swiftly placed his leg behind the door, preventing her from taking any further action.“Who is that?” a low voice drifted from within the room, prompting them to look back. Nita cursed silently as Nate approached the door, unwittingly granting Nick access.The moment he saw Nick, his eyes widened. “Chocolate Man!” A bright smile took residence on his face, erasing any signs of the previous anger he felt because of Sam.Nick’s face mirrored his, and he lifted Nate up while Nita followed them behind. “How did you know my place?” Nate asked, curiosity sparkling in his eyes.Nick glanced at Nita before responding with a sly smile, “Your mother told me.” Nita bit her lower teeth; the last thing she wanted was Nate thinking she had a close relationship with Nick, but knowing Nick, he might try to escalate the matter if she tried denying it. So, she closed her mouth and jus

“Mr. Moore, what are you doing here?”Sam pulled a vacant seat and added it to their table. He sat down as if he had been invited to dine with them. His gaze moved from Nita to Nate, and a wide smile took residence on his lips, “So, this is it? You’re just a single mother.”Nate frowned at the man before him, “Who are you?”He pulled one of the dishes in front of him and started eating, “I think you can call me your mother’s friend or colleague at work.”Nita haven’t said a word as she stared at him. Was he the one who had taken time to write those stuffs on her wall at the office? He was pulling on a chicken when he stopped to see that both mother and son weren’t eating, both staring at him. He pointed at the food, “Let’s eat. This food is too much to waste.”Nita had long lost her appetite since he sat at the table. She didn’t mind a lot of things, but she hated when certain things were performed in front of her son or said to her son. She hated it when her son got confused by fo

Nate removed his hand from his mother’s and ran towards ‘Chocolate man.’ He could hardly believe he’s meeting him again. They seemed to be fated. Nick, on the other hand, was staring at the woman before him. It had taken him everything in him to sit in his car and wait until she came out with Nate. For once, that guy wasn’t picking his son up, and he thought it was the best time for a surprise.“I’m so happy to see you again. What’s your name?”Nick looked down at the little guy in front of him and smiled. It seemed he had been eager to know his name, but before he could answer, Nita walked towards them, “Hi, Nick.” She forced her tone to sound nice as if she was happy to see him.Nate looked up at her, “Mummy, do you know chocolate man?”Nita nodded. “His name is Nick, and he used to be mummy’s friend.”she could hardly believe he was chocolate man.Excited, Nate turned back to him. “It’s really nice to meet you, Uncle Nick. I’m glad you are mummy’s friend. So we can be friends, too
Nita's Revenge Seventeen
“I couldn’t gather any information about him.” Joel shifted on his toes. It had never happened to him before. Getting information on others had always been easy for him, but he couldn’t get anything on the man his boss had asked him to research on. It was as if the man was a ghost that was untraceable, but he knew the man was real. He had seen him, take pictures of him for research purpose, but yet, there was no single information about him.Nick frowned, “How’s that possible?”Joel though for a while before responding, “Maybe he is a special agent or part of the force. Information about them is highly private as it involves the security of the state.”Nick doubted the man he had seen was part of a force or agent. He had always hovered around Nate as if he was jobless. Whenever he tried to see his son, that man was always there.He nodded at Joel, “Don’t bother. I know what to do.”Joel sighed in relief. He had thought his boss was going to ask him to make more research on the man. H
