Astra couldn't believe herself as badly as she wanted to, she couldn't. She dropped her bag on the coffee coloured table and ordered for an Americano expresso and a croissant with it. As the waitress took her leave after scribbling her order down, she began to wonder what honestly happened during the weekends, she knew she was completely out of it when she came to, the beautiful Versace still hung on her wall, adorned with all the sexiness that came with Versace and her purse still had wads of new notes. What was even funny was that Nicholas didn't call her or anything, if not for anything she would have said he had grown somewhat more matured. More like a man and less of a baby. He didn't call ,didn't check up on her and didn't bother her.

'or maybe you disgusted him so much he didn't see the need to' her mind was playing death tricks on her, playing on her insecurities and her broken up pieces of that night. Her coffee came right on time, she sipped it while it was hot as hell and i

    At that moment, she saw him as a little child that needed saving. He looked like he was out in the cold, shivering and whimpering like a drenched cat. But then, he had the nerves to scream words at her?“You’re pathetic!” She bellowed, making to walk past him into the room. It took every ounce of his selfesteem to hold himself back from hitting her across the face. Despite his anger, his groin tightened when she walked past him, making her way to the couch that was littered with empty cans, filthy glass cups and his dampened stockings. His expression eased just a bit and he heaved a deep sigh, straightening his shoulder. Then she turned a delicate brow, jaw clenched tightly. Nicholas could swear he saw a muscle ticked in her forehead. She was a lunatic. “Before you say anything further, I want you to know that you’re not welcome here.” He said in a low menacing voice. “I can be wherever I want…you seemed to think so highly of yourself, Nicky.” She returned in the same tone. She

    Nicholas groaned in frustration as he replayed what happened when Astra came to his house again.Stupid, stupid. He chided himself. All traces of drunkenness had disappeared and he could feel the beginnings of what would be a massive hangover. There were so many other ways he could have handled Jared, none pf them leading in disaster, but he let his anger and jealousy get the better of him and ruined the chance he had to a good fuck. With any luck, he wouldn’t get any closer to having sex with Astra. Nicholas let out another groan as he remembered how slick her pussy was when touched it, how swollen her clit was. He could remember her sweet sweet moans when he placed his mouth on her hard nipples and sucked on them. Nicholas could feel him dick getting painfully hard again as he remembered how her breath had become hitched as he drew her left nipple between his teeth, all the while playing with her right. He remembered how ready and willing she had been to take his entire length, how

    The nerve of the bastard, to pick up the phone and act as though he bloody owned her. Astra thought.She brought it all on herself though, she deserved everything that happened and even a little more. Astra had been out of her senses and if Jared hadn’t called at that exact moment, she would have let Nicholas fuck her. Worse, she would have enjoyed it. Astra thanked the stars for Jared’s call as she drove back home. She had no idea what had driven her to go to Nicholas’ house in the first place. Astra decided to blame the fact that she was ovulating, and somehow her subconscious had directed her to the only man that could satisfy her. It was easier to blame nature that could not complain than to blame her own self. Astra still loved Nicholas and the fact that he seduced her so easily was just solid proof.She loved him so much that her free moments were just thoughts of him. In as much as he broke her heart, destroyed her pride, she still loved him. Astra figured that was what love w

    The case with Thompson suddenly became more than throwing his friend who betrayed him into jail. Then again, it was never just about that. It was mostly about Astra, and making her feel the same amount of pain that he felt when she cheated on him and broke his heart. It was about maybe being able to get her back again, even after everything. Nicholas knew that he had to choose one, it either had to be revenge or love. He knew that revenge was the reasonable thing to choose. If he got her back, what if she decided to cheat on him again? What if she broke his heart again? Would he keep on forgiving her and putting himself at risk? Was he going to be able to keep up with all that? Nicholas was not sure if he would be able to, revenge was the safest option, and revenge was the option he was going to choose. The feelings he still had for Astra were not worth it, not one bit. There was no use being in love with someone that did not love him in the same measure. It was so bad that he had t

    CHAPTER 19“Hello Jared,” Astra said into the phone as Jared picked up his phone.“Hey Astra, how are you doing?” He asked. He sincerely sounded surprised. It was then that Astra realized how odd it would be. She had never called him before, he was always the one calling her. It would clearly be weird to her.“I am good, thank you,” she said. For a moment, she was short of words. She had no idea what she was going to say to him. Many things crossed her mind, but her greatest fear was the fact that he may realize that she was playing him in a way.“Is anything the matter? Is Nicholas bothering you again? I thought you left his house,” Jared asked and Astra closed her eyes in frustration. She forgot that Jared called her when she was still in Nicholas house. How was she supposed to start dating him when he knew that she had been in her ex husband’s house just a few hours ago?“

    Once Nicholas heard Sarah's plan he knew that it was going to work out well. Astra took her job very seriously and so she would take this case very seriously. It would be so easy for her to fall into his trap."All you have to do is point her in that direction, she will follow. You will just bring the evidence to her and she will follow that route to get the criminal. The problem is that, it will end in a dead end, nothing will come out of it," Sarah said and Nicholas nodded. He liked the plan."I don't even have to be the one to point her in that direction right? I can always hire someone to bring fake evidence to her, that will be very easy," Nicholas added, all the while bouncing Theo on his knee. It seemed like the little man was hungry, he was already putting the button in his mouth, playing with it."Yes, you can do that. It will be much more easier that way," Sarah agreed."How fast can we get the evidence? This night maybe? Something to keep the mov

    Nicholas was working on some paperwork when Sarah's call came. That was fast, Nicholas thought while smiling. He immediately picked up the call."Hello, Nicky, good evening," Sarah said."Good evening, Sarah. Any news?" Nicholas asked. In Sarah's reply, he could basically hear the smile in her voice."The trap had been set, the only issue is that we are waiting for the mouse to jump on it. The actor we paid has already called Astra. She will be going to find him this night," Sarah said.The image that appeared in Nicholas' vision was not very favorable to him. He realized that he did not want Astra going after a criminal that did not exist in the middle of the night."She is really going to go this night?" Nicholas asked and Sarah sighed."It is best that she goes as soon as possible, that is how these things are done. You should not still

    Astra shrieked as she came into contact with at all man.“Calm down, miss,” the man said, it already felt like her heart leapt to her throat, and she was shaking. Through her disoriented self, she could tell that the voice was different from the one that called her. This voice sounded of age.“What are you doing here?” Astra asked. This person was different from the person who called her, and the area was too quiet for people to just be roaming around. Astra could feel her fear building up again.“I should be the one asking you that, miss,” the man asked, and Astra looked at the man very well. The place was dark but she could see with the aid of her phone torch that he was dressed in some sort of uniform.“I am the keeper of this warehouse. Is there anything you needed?” The man asked and Astra became calm. Nevertheless, the small amount of hope that she harbored that the man was the one who called her disappeared. “Someone called me, the person asked me to see him here, I guess it m

My flight is leaving in a few hours and I just wanted to brief you, so please don't call me, thank you," Astra said to her assistant. She had opened her law firm, after she got married, finally achieving her dreams. She hoped that the company would not crumble since she was leaving for two weeks."What if it is really really important, like the building is on fire?" Tricia her assistant asked. Astra knew that she was just trying to rile her up. There were not just boss and employee, they had become friends over the years."I am not a firefighter am I? It's not like I can put off the fire I was there. So don't call me. It is just two weeks, you will be fine. I am not even taking my phone, it will just be, nature and my hot husband so please, thank you. If you need anything ask Jared, he will he willing to help," Astra told Tiana and she disconnected the

    Chapter 65Astra felt giddy, free, and light. She was a bit nervous too, because what bride was not nervous on her wedding day? It did not matter that she had gotten married before and to the same man at that, it also did not matter that she had two children for the said man, she was entitled to pre-wedding jitters and she was having them.Astra's first wedding was in Vegas, she was half drunk and so was Nicholas. They were drunk on both wine and love and they enjoyed each other. Astra could not remember the exact details of her first wedding since she was wasted and all, but it did not waste much time and she was done with it, she did not have enough time to be nervous or to back out of the wedding, that was it. Unlike this time that there was an entire plan, rehearsals, shopping, and too much money involved."Relax Astra, you are too tense. Nicholas loves you and wants to marry you, everything will be alright," Charise said to her as she held her hand. Astra sighed."I know that he

    "Congratulations Astra," her sister said as she entered into the room. Her mother and father were not far behind. Astra smiled as her family came in. She was happy that her sister was there for her, that she was willing to be there for her. Astra was grateful that she was able to fix things with her family."She looks very beautiful, she looks more like Nicholas though, maybe she might grow to look like you," Charise said as she studied the baby."Would you like to hold her?" Astra asked looking at her sister. She was looking at the baby in awe."Oh of course. It has really been so long since I saw a new born baby, it never does get old," Charise said and Astra stretched the baby to her carefully. Her sister extracted the child from her hands and held on the baby. She looked like she was in love."Maybe I will have another child after all," Charise said softly. "She does look so precious. You did very well Astra," her mother said to her. Things were not so rosy after everything that

    Chapter 63Astra felt a dull pain on her lower stomach and then felt it go a little lower. They started earlier that day but she figured they were Braxton Hicks and then her water broke, she began to panic. Nicholas was out of town. He had neglected his business for almost too long and it was telling on him. The stress was getting to him. He did not want to have to have her but she all but pushed him out of her house to go make some money so that the children could feed or something like that. Astra remembered that he was unwilling to leave, but he left at the end because he had to."Brian please bring my phone," Astra said to her son. She was trying to study the contractions, they were coming faster. She did not know who to call. Stephanie had her own baby just three months back, Yvonne was far away, Sarah and Jared were out of town with Theo. Charise, she was the only one she could call."Mommy are you okay?" Her son asked as he brought the phone to her with steady hands. Another wa

    Chapter 62"We are going to the zoo!" Brian shouted at breakfast when Astra told him."Thank you Mommy!" Brian said again and Astra smiled."So just eat up your breakfast, your daddy is coming to take us there," Astra told her son who looked so excited by the fact that her husband was going to take them out. Brian nodded at his mother's words.It was their first family outing. After visiting Brianna's grave, Nicholas said that he wanted to spend as much time as possible with his family, she could not blame him at all. She just lost Brianna so she could feel a fraction of what he felt since he never met her and he missed the first four years of Brian's life. After their dinner date, they had a few more dates together. They had gone to an art museum and looked at art together. They both went around together and looked at art all the while discussing various things. It felt like they were getting to know each other again.

    Chapter 61Nicholas was about to look at the picture when Astra's lips met with his. He felt the sparks when their lips touched. It had been so long they had been together without the aid of alcohol and external influences. It felt wonderful. Nicholas helped Astra to climb him and he kissed her deeper, he slightly tugged on her bottom lip with his teeth while she snuck her tongue past his lips. It felt wonderful for a while as they had a duel of tongues of sorts. They both explored each other with their mouth and their hands. Nicholas' hands went over Astra's body, her hands over his. He felt so hot and hard and all hers.Nicholas flipped her so that she was below him and helped her out of her dress. He wanted some skin and he wanted it fast. He touched her with an urgency of a cave man and he did the same to her."It has been so long," Nicholas said as he removed her dress. She looked so white and beautiful and refreshing. Nicholas had to remind himself to be careful when he saw her

    Chapter 60"I will put these in some water," Astra said and went into her kitchen to find a vase for the flowers. She then put them in some water."We should get going," Astra said when she was done. She was not sure that she could stay in the house with him for much longer without trying to kiss him or doing something equally as odd."I have a gift for you," Nicholas said and then brought out a little velvet box from his pocket. Astra opened her eyes and gazed at the box as Nicholas opened it. It was a necklace. It was silver and had a tear drop of diamond as a a a a a a a a a a locket. It was simple but yet it was very beautiful."Oh my God Nicholas, it is beautiful," Astra said as she gazed at the necklace."Turn around," Nicholas said to Astra and she did. She held her breath as he placed the necklace over her neck. The closeness between them seemed to increase as she felt p breath at her neck. Astra could feel the electricity between the two of them.

    Chapter 59Astra woke up the next morning in a very excited mood. She felt like she was in a very good mood. She wanted the date to go very well without any hitches. She took her bath and started to get ready for the shopping spree. She was already having breakfast when Stephanie called her."Hello Stephanie," Astra said when she picked up the call."Hello, Astra. Are you ready to start going shopping now?" Stephanie asked her and Astra laughed. To think that she thought her friend would not have the strength to go shopping since she was pregnant."You are more eager for this dress than I am Stephanie," Astra said with a laugh. It was a little funny how she could be."Whatever you say Astra, I just want to get clothes, that is all," Steph said and Astra laughed."I will be ready in an hour, " Astra said to her friend before she disconnected the call.After the call, Astra looked at her phone and she saw a text from Nicholas. It was as cheesy as the first one, but the thing was that sh

    Chapter 58"We should do this. We can start by being friends. We can forget that everything happened and pretend that we just met," Nicholas said and Astra laughed a bit."We have a child together, and in four months, we would have another one. That is not a very good plan," Astra said with a smile."Says who?" Nicholas said. He looked so cheeky. It reminded Astra of how she found him so funny when they had first met and that was one of the reasons she fell in love with him."Oh, good evening. I just saw you walking by and I was in awe, such a beautiful lady, I said to myself that I had to meet you. My name is Nicholas, and you are," Nicholas said to Astra, he took her hand in his and kissed her fingers. Astra felt like butterflies were erupting in her stomach like the first day they had met. She felt like he was so handsome then, just like when they had met, a little more than seven years back."My name is Astra, I love your smile," Astra said. She did love the way he smiled. She rem
