Once upon a billionaire's wife Chapter Ten
Astra marched down the hallway, her red heels making click clack sounds in her wake. The light from an adjacent window shone on her hair and reflected on her defiant face as she walked with purpose.She was going to tell her boss she could no longer work on the Michaelson's case and her stand was final.She didn't know what kind of elaborate joke this was, being forced to work hand in hand with her ex husband but she was not finding it funny and Trevor had better be prepared to hear an earful because she was not going to be a pawn in this game, least of all to Nicholas Michaelson any longer and if it meant her sliding of her chair, packing her things and leaving, she would do it. Hell, she would even move states.As she approached the foot of the stairs, she berated herself. Why had she stayed in the same state she'd been broken, expecting to somehow be healed? And why was this thought just occuring now?Taking the stairs one at a time, she recited all the reasons why she would never

Astra went up the stairs without pausing for an instant, letting her feet walk her the familiar path to the music room where the door was slightly ajar. Astra was grateful that there were no instruments playing there because she wasn't sure she couldn't handle the atmosphere. She was already finding it difficult to even be in the same room as Nicholas. The walls she'd let down were coming back up again and she was powerless to stop them.Astra opened the door and saw Nicholas seated on a plush and comfortable looking sky blue bean bag, with papers sprawled around him. He looked deeply focused and Astra appreciated he fact that he's started without her ."Are you going to keep on standing there or come over here?" The tone with which the words were uttered were not harsh, rather they were mild, playful even. She gulped."Was the butler welcoming me in really necessary?" She asked , her tone was had a bit of bitterness in it. Nicholas looked genuinely confused, his head tilting a lit

'Did he think he could just call anytime he wanted to and I would just pick up his phone?" Astra threw questions to the wind like as though somehow, the wind would answer any of it, she thought as she drove away from the magnificent house faster than she intended.she wanted to get far away as possible from Nicholas and from every misery that envelopes the house. What was she thinking? That she could magically just forget what had happened in the house? That omehow she could work for the same man who had promised her forever and still threw her outside in the rain, even though she had pleaded and begged, he had turned deaf ears to her please, making her begging seem like thrash nd her crying look pathetic. Astra got it,she really did, Nicholas was engaged and happy but why on Earth did he have to rub it in and the timing? Perfect timing. The way she waltzed into the area where they had sat down, was it all planned? Was the whole thing a set up? Get her to come over and then insult he

"You want to go at me big boy!! Huhhh! You want to go! Pretty boy?" The unknown man kept shoving his face at Nicholas while Nicholas remained calm and let the man rant as much as he liked, the only reason why he wasn't shoving a hand down his throat was because of Astra. She was the only thing stopping him from going killer mode on this guy. He had the audacity to touch Astra, no shame right here, out in public? He so badly wanted to beat him up but as he tried to guide Astra away from the man, so they would walk away, the man burst out laughing manically. That got Nicholas to turn right back at him, disgust written on every corner of his face and anger etched deep in his eyes."yeah! Pretty boy, walk the fuck away" he shouted at Nicholas. Nicholas balled his fists, his knuckles turning so white, there wasn't any blood left to go towards his brain, his heart beat twice as fast and his anger pumped twice as fast and so did his movements.The unknown man was sprawled out, face up, teet

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

Chapter 66"You are not to call me for anything. Anything at all, I mean it, I deserve this vacation. I have not been on one in years. 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. She told him about her dreams and he told her about his. She told

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
