Nicholas

"We are minutes late to the meeting, Nicholas; hurry the fuck up." Allan's voice drifted inside my office as I stood staring at the sky, too deep in thought to even turn and look at him.

"I am the head of the company; the rest can wait," I dismissed, needing a moment to myself.

"This place reeks of alcohol, your hair looks unkempt, and your desk—god, your desk, Nick—is a whole mess." I kept my mouth clamped, thinking about my argument with Eliana, Reyna's unusual behaviour, and, of course, Gavin's warning.

"Where the hell is Reyna? She should tidy this place now." I had driven to the office earlier than usual, drunk as hell and in a daze after Eliana and I fought. The least I could do was get away from her and drive. I ended up trashing the office in a fit of rage, screaming my frustrations away but Allan didn't need to know that.

"Go get the meeting started; I'm coming." I wasn't up for any conversation, and every other word he uttered went unanswered until he just quietly ex

Lilith may be a good insider to use in Gavins company. Nick gave her money for sexual favors on the past and would also be paid well.

Rayna has access by a side door and took those photos. Maybe it's time to make his relationship public.

    Eliana"You would be dead, forgotten, and buried." Nick's words replayed in my mind for the entire night. I wet my pillow with my tears until I had no more left to express the gnawing feeling inside my chest. By the time I got out of bed the next morning, my throat felt so dry and sore. I couldn't stand looking at my reflection in the mirror without gagging. My eyes were puffy, with dried tears visible on my red cheeks. My nose appeared swollen, and I struggled to breathe through the blocked nostrils."Honey, your tea is ready." Nanny's voice came after she knocked on the door. How she knew I had slept in the guestroom was beyond me, but I could really use some hot herbal tea."I'm coming," I replied in the strongest voice I could master. After taking a quick shower, I went downstairs with my phone in my hand. I looked at it severally, chastising myself for almost anticipating Nick's call or text message. His previous harsh words had sliced across my heart, and they continued to do so.

    NicholasI paced inside my office, throwing glances at the photos splayed on the desk, along with files and papers. My phone was in my hand, my thumb hovering over the call button. For minutes, I had been going back and forth in my mind about whether to call Eliana or break the news to her when I got back home. The problem was that I didn't know where to start after the vile words we had exchanged. I knew it was cowardly of me, but I decided not to talk to her at that moment. "Instead of hiding and pacing in here, we should be looking for the inside person who dared work for Gavin while still under this company." Allan, like usual, trudged in, his right hand in his pocket."I think that Lilith's appearance yesterday, her cryptic words, and the photos are connected in some type of way," he added when I kept quiet, pondering over the issue."The photos had no message written on them. So what makes you think that Gavin has to do with it?" I asked, even though I knew deep down that there

    ElianaI walked into an unfamiliar, classy restaurant, carrying a clutch bag containing my phone and a pepper spray inside just in case Gavin crossed boundaries. I ignored the sound of my heels as they came into contact with the slippery tiled floor, my eyes darting around the cool place in search of Gavin. I held my head high, even though I could literally feel my heart hammering. There was no time to rethink my decision because I reminded myself that I was doing it for Nicholas and for information concerning my mom."Eliana Robert?" A bald, bearded man dressed in a fitting black suit and black shades asked from behind, startling me a bit.Turning and stepping back to put a distance between us, I swallowed. "Who's asking?""Sir Gavin is waiting for you outside." He went straight to the point in a gruff manner, stepping aside to give me space to pass."Tell him to join me inside, as planned," I stressed in the last part, looking around for the table number he had given me. It was to my

    NicholasI drove straight home without uttering a word to Allan or Reyna. My mind at that time had frozen in time for a bit while my voice box got stuck. My body felt weak and drained, but I still managed to head straight upstairs in search of Eliana. My calls to her the entire drive went unanswered, while the recording remained wrapped in a brain freeze. I searched every single room, but there wasn't a single sign of her."Nanny," I called her as I descended the stairs, my brain beginning to function as the reality of Eliana's absence began taking over. I wanted so much to believe that Gavin had used technology to fool me into thinking that it was her voice or that she had been manipulated."I didn't see you come in; is everything okay, sir?" Nanny responded at the bottom of the staircase as I walked down, looking at my dishevelled hair."Where's Eliana?" I frantically looked around the living room, crossing my fingers together."She woke up with the flu, so she left for a checkup wi

    ElianaI walked out of the house, wincing, when a piercing pain crossed my chest. Nicholas was following me outside the house as I wheeled my small suitcase, begging me to at least turn back and look at him. I knew the longer I stayed there, the more his words would stop me from going on with my plan."Please don't do this to me, baby," he said, his trembling, weak voice drawing instant tears that blurred my vision."I love you, Eliana, so so much that it fucking hurts." The last part came out as a whisper that prompted more tears out of my eyes.Sniffing again, I whispered, "fix it.""But you don't have to leave. We'll find a way around this, and even if Gavin leaks the photos, we will have each other." He stood in front of me, blocking my way. I could have sidestepped him, but my feet felt heavy the moment I glanced into his eyes. They reflected a swirl of emotions that glued me to the ground."What about my dignity? Do you want it to go down the drain just like that?" Deep down, I

    Nicholas KingI yawned in the early afternoon while staring at the multiple word files on my email from Reyna, awaiting my review. No matter how hard I tried to get my head into the game, memories of Eliana leaving my place kept finding their way into my mind. In addition, the wound Allan's betrayal caused was still fresh.Since I couldn't get anything done, I decided to get online as a distraction. With Allan's resignation, work was too much, so I needed to get back to work mode as fast as possible. The first video I came across on social media had my eyes almost bulging out of their sockets. Gavin was holding Eliana's waist and owning her in front of the cameras as both of them were getting interviewed. I didn't have the strength to look at it entirely, but I caught Gavin saying that Eliana was indeed his new girlfriend and that he wasn't lying like the other time."Daamn it!" I banged my fist on my desk, then pushed my office chair backward, ignoring th

    ElianaMy head was pounding, but I kept it held high, walking with Gavin as his security team finally pushed the paparazzis away. Question after question ran through my mind. Had Nicholas seen the interview? What was his reaction? Was he going to forgive me?"I didn't tell you that this dress outlines your figure just the way I like it," Gavin's annoying compliment snapped me out of my thoughts."Why thank you!" I faked enthusiasm."I bet you taste as good as you look," he added, making me roll my eyes."Anyway, there is the annual Excellence Awards for the business community in this state," Gavin said after the interview, as he led me to the backyard of his residence."How does it concern me?" I spat, looking sharply at his arm as he guided it around my waist. His touch stirred bile in my gut, but I had to deal with it because it was the only way."Watch your mouth, Ellie; remember, you are at my mercy here," he added,

    Nicholas"Good afternoon boss." A series of the same greeting filled my ears as I walked to the specific spare room in my club. In the same place, I mistakenly moaned Ellie's name instead of Lilith. From what one of the bouncers had told me downstairs, she was already inside, drowning several glasses of margarita."I thought I was dreaming," Lilith screamed, running into my arms the moment I got inside the room. Her arms on my body repulsed me, so I pushed her back a little gently, keeping in mind that she was the key to figuring out what Gavin was on about."Come on, Nick, she is with Gavin now; can't you see that?" she whined, wobbling a bit as she turned to follow me towards the couch by the bed. It was an entirely good thing she still wanted me. That meant that I could use her to get some information concerning Gavin."Coming from a person who betrayed me and joined forces with my enemy," I spoke calmly, crossing my legs."You chose that college bitch...""Don't you dare insult El

    Eliana Two Years Later "Hurry the fuck up, Eliana. I do not want Rachel's wrath on her wedding day," Nicholas shouted from downstairs, making me roll my eyes as I strapped my silver 4-inch heels on, right at the top of the staircase. "Stop cussing around E.J," I responded, running down the stairs. Nicholas was carrying our son, tapping his foot on the floor while staring at his watch. "Well, you made me do it," he defended himself, shrugged, then headed for the door while our son giggled. "How? We agreed that we wouldn't be using that language, especially now that E.J. is learning to speak." I walked after him to catch up. "I'm sorry it slipped. You can be so annoying, especially when you are required to keep time," he defended again, nodding at our chauffer as he opened the passenger door and the back seat door. "Wait until he starts cussing; your sorry won't make sense anymore." I stood behind him as he strapped E.J. into his baby car seat, then used the other side to

    Three Months Later Eliana "I hereby sentence you to life in prison without the possibility of parole." The judge finished, staring right at Gavin, who hung his head, closed his eyes, opened them, and then outright glared at me with moisture in them. His father protested, violence ensuing between his security men and the Court's enforcement officers. I was quickly escorted out by Nick and his security, shielding me from the violence. Despite the adrenaline levels rising inside of me, the smile inside me couldn't be wiped off. My efforts had totally paid off, and I could finally breathe a long sigh of relief. My mother had already been sentenced to death, Matthew to two consecutive life sentences, and the family doctor and lawyer getting reduced sentences of 15 years each for entering a plea deal. Finally, my father's soul could rest in peace. "You did it, Ellie; you put him right where he deserves," Allan stated with an equally big smile as we descended the stairs leading to the p

    Nicholas "How can you even say that?" Eliana shot up, closing her eyes suddenly, while the doctor rushed to her side. "Do you really think so low of me to even imagine me carrying Gavin's child?" Her voice rose. I could feel the pain in it, making me wish I hadn't mentioned Gavin. "I will have to ask you to leave, sir. My patient needs peace right now, and you aren't exactly providing it," Dr. Dave sternly said, adjusting his spectacles. "Leave us." Eliana lowered her voice, her chest rising as she let out a loud breath. "But Nick is not exactly habitable right now," Allan argued, looking at Eliana, trying to make her change her mind. I could, however, see the determination in her eyes as she scooted back to the bed. "I need only a few minutes, please," she added, looking at the doctor. "We just stabilised your pressure, so I need you to know that stress might force it to rise—" "I will be right outside; if things go south, I will intervene," Allan chimed in, assuring the doc.

    Eliana I ran into the ladies washrooms, trying to lose a number of paparazzi who were coming after me. The last thing I wanted was to do an interview about what had transpired. I leaned over one of the sinks, letting out a short sigh of relief. "It's done. I did it." I whispered, looking at my reflection in the mirror above the sink. What I saw were dark circles peeking from some concealer I had tried applying. I attempted to put on a smile for pushing Gavin out of Nick's way, but instead my lips trembled. The pain I had managed to push down while dealing with Gavin was knocking, threatening to consume me. "Why?" Nick's voice filled the space, making me close my eyes. I could feel his presence, but I wasn't sure I could face him. "Why didn't you tell me?" He pressed, his steps sounding louder the closer he came. The smell of alcohol hit me, making me close my eyes while I attempted to swallow the lump that was forming in my throat. I lowered my eyes, unable to look at his reflecti

    Nicholas "Come on, Nick, we'll miss the most important part of the event," Allan nudged, looking at the time on his wrist watch, while I leaned on my leather couch. "I told you I am not going," I responded in a bored tone, the urge to open another bottle of Hennessy Paradis brewing up inside. Attending the Annual Excellence Business Awards was out of the question, knowing that Eliana would be there with Gavin. "But that is a great opportunity to meet other businessmen and women. You know the best deals we've bagged so far usually originate from this event." I covered my face with my hand, closed my eyes, and pulled my brows together. "You always do that without me, Allan. You know I have always hated parading myself out there for any media attention." I sighed, just yearning to be alone in the quiet, with a bottle of alcohol to numb my burning and broken insides. "Eliana is going to be there," he spoke, making me swallow heavily. "The very reason why I am not going," I mumbled,

    Eliana "Finally, I was beginning to think that you had backed out of the deal," Gavin said when I walked into his study, one of his men holding the door for me. "Aren't we impatient?" I rolled my eyes, sitting down on the office chair opposite his. "I thought your head would be killing you after all the clubbing last night," he said, dismissing his employee with a wave of his hand. "Clubbing?" I asked, removing my cat-eyed glasses. He squirmed a bit but quickly covered it by moving his swivel office chair. In fact, if I hadn't been so keen, I would have missed his quick reaction entirely. "How do you know I was clubbing? Are your men following me?" I put the glasses on the desk, then leaned over, looking at him in his evil eyes. There was nothing in them except malice, which sent shivers down my spine. "What? Ha ha, no. Uuh, I mean, why would they?" He stuttered, making me place my clasped hands on the desk, right beside my glasses. "I just saw your red eyes and puffy lids," he

    NicholasI covered my head with my pillow when my phone rang somewhere on the bed. The ringtone felt like it was playing inside my ears, tormenting my banging head. I almost shouted "hallelujah" when it stopped, only for it to ring again after a few seconds."The fuck is wrong with some people?" I groaned, wondering why the person hadn't just left a simple voicemail instead of being stubborn. The only way to stop the disturbance was to grabble on the bed for the phone with my eyes still closed. When I finally found it, I blindly pressed on the screen, hoping it would end the call."Why in the hell aren't you answering my calls? Been calling since 8 and you just let it ring, are you ignoring me?" Allan went all loud, shouting over the phone like a madman, while I struggled to cover my ears. It wasn't enough, though, because I heard everything. I was pretty sure the phone wasn't on loudspeaker, even though Allan was clear."Shut up," I weakly responded, with my eyes still closed."Wait,

    Eliana"I want to be left alone," I said when the guestroom door was knocked."Open up, Ellie; it's me." Allan's voice drifted inside."If he's there, I will close the door on your face," I warned, dragging my feet."If you mean Nicholas, he left without a word as soon as you closed your bedroom door." I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath to stop emotions from taking control over me. The Nick I knew would have followed me, but to hear he had already left? I couldn't pretend that it didn't make my chest ache."Come in." I stepped aside when I opened the door as Allan stepped in."He is hurting, Ellie," he said, his words making me swallow thickly to soothe my drying throat."I attached the chip to his SIM card slot," I uttered, deciding not to comment on Allan's previous statement."For real?""Haven't you seen anything from your end?" I asked, sitting on the bed."I was a little caught up," he rubbed his neck sheepishly, avoiding eye contact."I understand. Catching up with friends

    Nicholas"Shit! Eliana." My stomach constricted into a tight ball. The thought of her in the presence of Gavin had my brain freeze for a moment."Relax; Gavin wouldn't dare hurt her. He knows she's important in his stupid plan." Allan stood, placing his hand on my shoulder and making me step aside."She is out there," I pointed at the door, then continued, "right now, with him. What if he just snaps and decides to..." I couldn't finish up the sentence because the next words jammed in my throat."I'm calling her," Rob stated, fishing his phone out. Their relationship seemed to grow stronger with every passing day, given the fact that she had chosen to stay with him.I watched as he placed his phone against his ear, triggering the waiting game. Tapping my foot on the floor, I began counting the seconds. When she didn't pick up, my adrenaline just shot up. Without a word, I turned for the door, my vision kind of tunnelling before me."Nick wait!" Allan called, stopping me right in front
