CHAPTER 10

last update Last Updated: 2024-08-05 18:27:13

Nathan's POV 

Oh fuck, there seems to be something fundamentally wrong with me. I hope my aunt wasn't right when she labeled me a harbinger of bad luck and disaster years ago, after my mom's death. Everything, even the universe, seems to be against me. I don't have peace within me; I always have this fear of the unknown.

A wave of guilt weighed on me. It seems to me that I'm the architect of my own misery. I should have navigated life with more prudence and grace.

Oh damn, I miss mom. London offers no solace—no love or warmth; everything just seemed off, like I just popped up in the middle of nowhere. Even the one person I love, the one whose forgiveness I desperately seek, I continue to alienate with my careless words and actions.

"Should I just go back to Rome? If I go back, what would I do there?" I mused loudly. No one would want to associate with me, as everyone dreaded and avoided me like a plague.

"Well, let me just stay here. At least I'm a billionaire and highly respected here," I said loudly, rounding off my thoughts.

Reaching out for the cup of coffee placed on the table, I took a sip, which I immediately spat out. The taste was so vile that I started coughing vigorously. 

Furious, I grabbed the phone and summoned her, my voice laced with anger. However, I quickly reminded myself to curb my temper. The pain I inflicted upon her years ago is enough to last a lifetime; I shouldn’t add to it. She deserves some semblance of happiness and peace.

A gentle knock on the door drew me out of my thoughts. "Please come in,"  I said, adopting a more gentle and respectful tone. She came in, looking surprised and a bit lost, wondering if she heard me right. She must have known me as an asshole.

"You called for me, sir?" She inquiried.

"Yes, I did. I don't like the coffee you made; it's not creamy, not sweet enough, and it's cold. Please make another one for me, and this time ensure it is better," I said, managing a weak smile.

"Okay, sir,"  she said, smiling shyly. While walking out of the room, I appreciated her sexy and well-endowed body; she has some amazing features, and I could feel my dick jerk involuntarily.

"Oh damn! Even Catherine, my usual bedmate, doesn't make me feel this way," I muttered as I struggled to control my lustful urge.

Catherine is the girl I always fuck whenever I want to have sex. She is also pretty and sexy, and most importantly, she knows how to please me and satisfy my needs. We have been together for more than a year. We meet up at a hotel, have sex, and I pay her handsomely with no strings attached. Our relationship was a blend of physical satisfaction and professional detachment, as we remained mutually beneficial to each other.

She came back a few minutes later with the coffee and placed it on the table.

"I hope you like this, sir," she said with a smile, looking more cheerful than earlier.

"Okay, let's check it out,"  I said and sat up. I took the cup and sipped; it tasted nice and was better than the former.

He was feigning an expressionless face, as if the coffee was bad.

"How is it, sir?"  she asked anxiously. 

"Not bad," I said and smiled. I took another gulp.

"Thank goodness," she said, visibly relieved. 

I looked at her, and I could see a wave of relief washed over her face. She must have been worried and scared when I yelled at her earlier.

"Okay, sir, let me get back to work.”

"What is your name again?" 

"Judith, Judith Summers,"  she answered calmly.

"I'm sorry for the way I treated you earlier. I was just going through some phases. Though I shouldn't have passed my aggression on to you, I would like you to be here early and perform your duties diligently, and then we wouldn't have a problem," I said without taking my eyes off her.

She looked at me, shocked, and seemed to lose her voice for a moment.

    Judith’s POV I was truly dumbfounded when the mighty and sophisticated Nathan Everton extended a heartfelt apology to me. He has always been known for his rude personality and nasty temper; everyone feared him, and his sudden apology left me speechless and thoroughly stunned for a while. I guess he isn't that bad after all; he must have an iota of conscience and human feelings. "It's okay, sir. I'm partly to blame too," I said, stuttering a little. "I will strive to be more professional, and I hope you can offer some assistance too. It’s my first time working in such an environment like this," I added. "Okay, you may get back to work then," he responded. Just as I was about to leave, I turned back and said, "I really appreciate your apology, sir. It made me feel better. Thank you so much." He merely nodded and flashed a smile that could have floored anyone before I hastily exited his office. "Oh goodness, the job can't be that bad,” I giggled as I stepped into my own office. L

    Nathan’s POV "What?" I shouted, immediately regretting my outburst, as I became embarrassed afterwards. "I don't know you have children," I said, forcing a smile. "Yes, I have a two-year-old twin," she replied confidently as she packed some items inside her bag. "Okay, wow, you can go ahead and close for the day," I said, my mind still reeling from the revelation. "Okay, sir," she responded, took her bag, and left. Immediately after she left, I began to fidget. How could she have children without my knowing? My mind raced with possibilities—did she get pregnant by her fiancé and then not marry him? Perhaps they broke up afterward. Or could the children be mine? The brief encounter we shared seemed too insignificant to result in a pregnancy. I was lost in the thousands of thoughts bombarding my mind, driving me to the brink of madness. My head went blank, and I couldn't think clearly. All I wanted was to get home and relax. Taking my phone out of my inner pockets, I dialed Jam

    Nathan's POV As I arrived at the garage, the car was already parked. I made my way to the driver's seat and ordered James to step out, explaining that I would love to drive myself; it would undoubtedly appear suspicious if I ordered him to tail my personal assistant. What kind of boss would that portray me as? "Boss, did I do something wrong?" His voice trembled, as if he were about to cry. "I'm not firing you. I just needed to be somewhere alone," I reassured myself before taking the keys from him and speeding off. I caught up with her just as she reached the gate. Her car, a dilapidated vehicle in poor condition, seemed to struggle with each movement. It finally came to a halt in front of a school named Great Minds College, located on the outskirts of town. The school was large and immaculate, with several cars belonging to other parents who had come to pick up their children. I parked the car not too far away from hers, assured that she wouldn’t recognize my car. She alighte

    Judith POV "Yes, I would love to have a drink," he said affirmatively. I had anticipated a polite refusal, believing him too fatigued and thirsty to accept my offer. Despite a hectic day at the office, his willingness to assist us was a gesture for which I will remain eternally grateful. He appeared markedly different from the reputation that preceded him, though could a hundred people be entirely mistaken? Or perhaps he has multiple personality disorders. The door was unlocked, and we entered the house, which exuded warmth and coziness. "It's good to be home," I thought as I held the door open for him. "Welcome to my home, Mr. Nathan," I said, smiling. "Welcome to my home, Mr. Nathan," I said, smiling at him. Surveying the room with admiration, he complimented the decor, though his smile seemed forced. Observing his demeanor, I could detect tiredness, or probably discomfort. He must have gone to great lengths to help us. I offered him a seat, and he chose the nearest couch.

    Nathan’s POV Knowing I shouldn’t ask, I asked anyway. I needed to clear my head to purge myself of these gnawing doubts. The uncertainty was gradually draining me and eating me alive. It amazed me how I managed to stay sane. Every meeting and appointment today had been attended to absentmindedly, and it was severely affecting my performance. I needed clarity; I needed to uncover the truth so I could focus on other tasks at hand. “If I get the truth, will it really put my life back on track?” I wondered. But at the very least, it would clear my doubts. “Mr. Nathan, please, I really don’t want to talk about it. It’s a bad experience—an experience that almost shattered my life overnight. But thank God for the twins. They came along and gave my life meaning and purpose again, making me feel fulfilled,” she said, a tear escaping from her eye. “I’m sorry” was all I could muster. I didn’t really know how to console someone, having never done so before. “Please leave, Mr. Nathan. I need

    Judith’s POV Hello, am I speaking with Mrs. Summers?" A voice inquired over the phone. "Yes, you are," I replied, still uncertain about the caller's identity. "It's the receptionist on the first floor. You have a parcel from Rex Motors. Please come pick it up," she informed me. "Rex Motors? Okay, I will be there soon," I said and hung up. "Isn't that a well-known car company? Why would they have a parcel for me?" I murmured, dialing the phone to inform my boss that I would be stepping out briefly. I took the elevator down to the first floor and retrieved the parcel. The parcel truly bore my name. Curiosity got the best of me as I unsealed the package on the first floor and found a car key inside. I was dumbfounded, wondering who could have purchased a car for me. Upon checking the receipt, I saw the buyer's name: Everton Medicals. I hurried back to the elevator and knocked on his office door. He instructed me to enter as he continued working on his laptop. I inquired about the

    "Oh God, oh God," Belinda moaned as she clung her hands tightly to my back, like her life depended on it. Her intense moans seemed to resonate in my mind as I continued thrusting my dick into her, simultaneously fondling her breasts with one hand. Finally, I reached climax and retreated into the en-suite bathroom to shower. "Oh, I love the way you fuck me, Felix," she murmured as she lay naked on the bed. Belinda is my girlfriend. She marks the fourth woman I have been entangled with over the past three years I have been in America. Something about these girls seemed off. None of them possessed the spark and peace Judith emitted. I broke up with them not because they weren’t pretty, but because they incessantly irritated me. Other than sex, they had absolutely nothing to offer. “Oh, I miss Judith—a woman of beauty and intellect. I truly regret abandoning her that day. Had we gotten married, I wouldn't be entangled with these brainless women," I mused as I got out of the shower.

    Judith’s POV It’s been a gruelling month of working with Nathan, and I must confess that the demands of the work have been nothing short of exhausting. The responsibilities range from fixing meetings, conferences, and appointments to meticulously responding and sending emails. I doubted my ability to survive. But surprisingly, I have gradually mastered the role and adapted with each passing day. After the week, we had an impulsive kiss. I have made every effort not to be emotionally entangled with him. I tried to keep it strictly professional. I don't have a problem with the kiss itself; it is how he distanced himself from me afterward, like I were some sort of contagion, leaving me in an awkward situation. Love shouldn't be a priority for me. My children demand my attention; they should be the ones getting all my love and attention, but anytime I'm around him, my heart seems to beat faster, just like it once did with Felix, conveying some unknown feelings. Oh, Felix, I hope he's f

    Judith's POVThe astonishment on his face as I kissed him was unparalled. He, along with everyone else in the office, were left speechless. As my eyes drifted to where Felix was seated, I could see anger deposited on his face."Who are you?" The chief asked, his tone laced with curiosity."Oh, apologies, sir. I'm Judith Summers, Nathan's fiancé, and the supposed victim of the alleged assault."Oh, Mrs. Summers. I was under the impression, according to Mr. Felix's statements, that you were out of town, hence the reason we did not summon you for questioning," he said, directing a scrutinising glare at Felix. By this time, Felix's expression exhibited utter disappointment."Oh, I found it peculiar that I wasn't called in. The fact that he told you I was out of town should tell you that he's a despicable liar," I spat, wondering how I managed to keep my act together."I wanted to wait for your return, but these were serious allegations that necessitated urgent attention. That was why I c

    Judith's POV Immediately, I called Nathan, and he came running over and arrived even before I knew it. It was so comforting to have him around. I could feel the sympathy and regret in his voice and eyes as he occasionally shot glares at me.Throughout his stay, my heart kept racing. I could feel his heart beat too, especially when I cried on his shoulders. I kept wondering why the universe is so unfair to us. We both loved each other, but we can't be together.The solution Nathan had come up with wasn't exactly a good one, and I couldn't help but imagine the worst-case scenario that would emerge from this whole situation. This could end him and everything he had worked hard for.The choice he made was a hard one, but he did it anyway. He did it to protect us and take responsibility for his past actions. I felt pity for him and wished there was another way out of this problem.Convincing him to look for a better solution seemed futile as he became resolute, explaining that he didn't w

    Nathan's POV Despite all the humiliation I had felt from the broken engagement, I was able to swallow it all, and only the thoughts of Judith's forgiveness filled my mind. I stopped calling or visiting her, not because I had moved on but because I wanted her to heal. Constantly seeing me might hurt her further.The last thing I had ever expected from her was for her to get back with me. Everything I had done to her was enough to make her miserable for a lifetime. I just wanted her forgiveness, and that's all.Lately, my life has been a rollercoaster of bad news. Judith's casting me aside has affected my whole being. I couldn't function and focus properly on work. It had gotten so bad that I even lost a business deal because I kept discussing it absentmindedly while the meeting was ongoing.

    Felix's POVThe bombshell I dropped cast an eerie pall over the environment. She stared at me with a mixture of confusion and hatred. However, my mind was resolute, and I felt no remorse for my actions. Her behaviour had driven me to the point where I forgot everything we had shared in the past.Despite my efforts to be considerate and avoid making things difficult for her, she seemed determined to shut me out of her life completely."What did you mean, Felix?" she asked, her voice barely masking the pain."You have to marry me, or the world will know how your kids came into existence. They will know they are a product of assault," I declared harshly.She was speechless for a while, taking a deep breath to calm herself. Overwhelmed and anxious, she stood up from the couch, paced around the living room, then sat down again.I could feel her uneasiness as she asked, "And how do you intend to do that? Felix, you're making my blood boil. I just want you out of my sight.""You must think I

For no tangible reason, I kept feeling insecure and sometimes trembling like a fragile leaf. I grew suspicious of everything and everyone, especially strangers. It was alarming at the rate my heart raced, and I kept praying I wouldn't succumb to a heart attack.An unknown feeling lingered within me, telling me that Felix hasn't given up yet. He is so blinded by rage that he won't stop until he gets what he desires.Despite the hurtful things Nathan has done, I never cease to love him. The feeling has extended so much that I miss him badly and also dream about him occasionally. The thoughts of him lingered in my head, day or night.Downcast and unsure of what to do to make the thoughts go away, I vowed never to get back with him, no matter how much or how long the feeling lingered.I ran my hands through my hair and walked outside to the balcony, hoping to enjoy the sun that shone

    Felix's POVTruthfully, John's plan doesn't seem like the wisest course of action. I would have opted for a better and safer option on how to make her bend to my will, but deep down inside me, I knew it was the only card I had left to play in order to reclaim her affections.The desperation I'm feeling isn't something to be proud of; it is highly disgraceful. I know fully well that I have become too desperate or probably obsessed with her, but at this point, I no longer mind. We compliment each other perfectly, yet it seems she is blind to see that.Perhaps, against my better judgement, I have to agree with John's suggestion. Since the woman I'm trying to be considerate of isn't reciprocating the same feeling to me, she isn't interested in me; despite the fact that she knew I wasn't to blame for the wedding that crashed, I still didn't pique her interest, and that saddened me a lot.Still devastated, I recalled all the affectionate words and stares she gave Nathan the other day; they

    Judith POVI find myself utterly bewildered by Felix. He looks totally different from what I had presumed him to be. The man whom I loved in the past was a better man who had good morals and virtue. It amazes me to the point that I felt like his soul was switched, and he has now been replaced with that of a spiteful entity.I'm shocked at how I never sensed the shift in his demeanour in the past. Perhaps he was pretending then and now to be his true self because he kept saying and doing hurtful things without feeling any form of remorse."Thank goodness, we didn't get married. I would have been married to the devil, unaware and headed to peril, I murmured as I tucked the kids to sleep.As I gazed upon the kids tear-streaked faces, a wave of pity washed over me. Their small, tender hearts had been burdened by the events of the evening. They keep getting more mature every day, and now they are even protective of me. I will eternally be grateful for the gift of them. I'm really lucky to

    I'm still struggling to understand how Judith can still be so naive and foolish. I had anticipated that she would demand his arrest and let him rot in prison, but instead she's still very much in love with him. It still baffles me that she cannot sever her ties with him completely. I need to act fast and exploit this situation wisely to my advantage; otherwise, all of my efforts would be futile.I'm so frustrated at the moment. I feel like a loser who can't seem to get anything right. I don't regret addressing her in such a rash manner. She should feel the same pains I'm going through."Hi, can we meet at the Essence Palace Club House?" I said this over the phone to John while parked at the clubhouse."Alright, I will meet you there in a while," he replied and hung up.I headed inside the clubhouse. The inside of the club house is furnished with neon lights that cast vibrant colours into the room. The air is filled with a mixture of perfumes, colognes, and a thick hint of smoke.In a

    Felix's POV I have been visiting Judith regularly in an attempt to console her and rekindle our love, but all my efforts proved futile. It was as if she was resolutely unwilling to give me a second chance at all. I recognised that she was still grieving, so I decided to give her the time she needed to heal before approaching her with the possibility of rekindling our love."I'm not giving up because I'm sure we are fated to be. It's only a matter of time before she realises I'm the only man for her," I muttered with a determined smile as I navigated through the heavy traffic.However, my determination wavered as soon as I parked in front of Judith's house. I saw Nathan emerging from her front door, which sent a wave of fury crashing on me. He was tall and handsome; he appeared gaunt and a shadow of his former self—haggard and unkempt."Why would she still allow him into her home after everything he has done to her? I questioned him as I got out of the car and walked towards him. He g
