NatalieNatalie dumped the flowers in the dustbin as she entered the place. It was 38th consecutive day when she had received flowers and chocolates. Every morning, noon, and night, a bunch would arrive at her doorstep. Theodore was everywhere. He was sending her flowers, chocolates, cards, knocking on her door, declaring his love, leaving her gifts.She had shifted to her home and had gotten her locks changed. She didn’t trust Theodore. God only knew what if he had a key to her place? He is a dangerous man. She should have understood it in time, but now she was tangled in a web that he had woven. He was hijacking her everywhere.Natalie had lost the best. She had failed in paying her father back, and now that the times were hard, the talk of her marriage had increased manifold. Michael was still ready to marry Natalie and Natalie hated him for that. It made her question his traits. Why is it that he wants to marry her when she had been branded as “another woman” in someone’s relation
Theodore He was avoiding every call. From his parents, Alice, Jonathan, Lionel, everyone. So, he wasn’t surprised when he found Jonathan at his door. Theo exited his car and started walking towards the door as if it was usual seeing his brother there. He was in for a berating, and he didn’t care. “Stop right there, Theo.” Jonathan’s voice warned him, but he really didn’t care. The woman he loved was pushing him away. He had broken off his engagement. The tabloids were calling him a cheat. His parents were angry for calling off a wedding whose preparations were undergoing. His sister-in-law was furious for upsetting her friend. His brother was ready to teach him a lesson. No one was really ready to calm down and ask him what was the reason. So, Theo kept walking. But then Jonathan’s hand landed on Theo’s shoulder and he turned away furiously. “What is it, John? You wanna scold me? You wanna call me names for leaving Kim? Do it now. Come on. I am listening.” “I am not here to scold
TheodoreTheodore was reading the morning newspaper. He usually skipped Page 6, but today he was glad that he saw it, because tucked in the bottom left corner was a small announcement.“The Notorious Greene Set to Tie Knot with Michael Archer.”Theodore rubbed his eyes and read it again. There was no picture just a small announcement that Natalie Greene was set to marry Michael Archer. Theodore immediately pulled up details of Michael Archer. He was the son of industrialist Nicholas Archer.Theodore showered, dressed, and went asked his driver to bring the car around. He arrived at Natalie’s place in precise 20 minutes, which would have taken him 35 minutes usually. His driver was sweating when they arrived.Theodore knocked on the door, but nothing. Not even a curtain twitched. He called her on her phone but there was no response.“Damn it.” He threw the phone on the ground and it bounced twice. Theo needed to think. What’s the next best thing to do?He called his assistant, and aske
Theodore He was punching the bag as hard as he could but his anger was not assuaging at all. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. These were the only thoughts in his mind. She said that he snatched her dreams. Which dream was she talking about? Theodore’s hands were not stopping at all and so was his mind, but he couldn’t let Natalie think the worst of him. What was so wrong if he fell for her? Yes, he was engaged, but he never loved Kim. His only fault was maintaining a sex life with someone other than his fiancée. But other than that, he was not at fault. And as for Natalie, this feeling was not a passing cloud. He really loved her. Theodore stopped punching the bag and sat down on the bench, he gulped the chilled water and poured it down over his head. He needed to calm down. He thought about his encounter with her and wondered when he had fallen for Natalie. He thought about the first night he had seen her. She was crying and he had felt a pang in his chest, as if som
Author’s POVIf there was one thing Michael was aware of in the world of elite, it was that everyone had secrets. When Natalie had confessed to him about Theodore Gilbert, he had been supportive. His father was adamant on him marrying Natalie and Michael really liked her. She had a fiery spirit and a background which was perfect for him.In the world of elite, marrying right is crucial to claim your inheritance. That’s what Michael was doing but Theodore was making it difficult. Why did he want Natalie so bad? He had to fix the situation.So, Michael placed a call to his PI and asked him to gather info on Theodore.The more he knows, the more power he will have, and the more dirt there is on Natalie, the more Eric Greene and Natalie will feel compulsive about the wedding. Their loss was his gain.The next week, he had the ammunition in his hand. He was getting his tux fitted when he got the mail.Michael chuckled as he read the information on his iPad screen.“Let’s have some fun.” He
NatalieNatalie was nervous. Michael’s father had called to say that they needed to talk. Natalie’s father was worried and why wouldn’t he be? His daughter’s name was being rolled around in mud. No parents want it.But most of all, Natalie had herself to blame. If only she had never agreed for such arrangement with Theodore, if only she had broken it off when she came to know about his engagement, if only she had kept herself in check, but none of it mattered now, because someone was adamant on washing their dirty laundry in public.William was cursing journalism.“What the hell does LA Times thinks it’s doing? Do they lack news to print or their editors are nuts, printing stupid stories?”He said that but somewhere Natalie knew that he was blaming her. Heck! Natalie herself was blaming herself. Only her mother was asking all of them to be positive and supportive of each other.Looks like there was more scolding due, because there was no way Nichlas Archer won’t say a thing about all
Natalie Natalie was jittery. It was the night before her wedding and she was experiencing wedding blues. An impending future without love, tomorrow with an impending fear of Theodore, a company to be saved, and everything was running in her mind, except for the fact that she could be happy. It was the last thing on her mind. Every bride is happy before her wedding, right? But it was not the case with Natalie. Sammy called her to Natalie who stood near the pool, silently watching the water throwing beautiful colors on the wall. “What are you doing, Nat? At least drink something. You didn’t even let us throw a bachelor party. It was only Sammy and her. Malcolm and Benjie were still on their honeymoon, and Natalie didn’t want to call them and say, “Get your ass back home, because I have decided to marry out of the blue. “I don’t wanna drink, Sammy.” “And why is that?” It was William, whose voice made her turn around and she hugged him like a panda. “Will, of all people, how can you
NatalieNatalie woke up and the first thing she needed was newspaper. The paparazzi was crazy right now, and she was aware that if Theodore stepped in LA, they will report without a doubt.She quickly made it to Page sic and her heart shattered, because there was a picture of Theodore with a tall, blonde woman. She shouldn’t have felt it but Natalie felt a disappointment. She read the Headline.“Our Billionaire Knows How To “Use and Throw” and Move On”Theodore Gilbert was spotted at his Portugal venture launch party. For our LA friends, let us tell you that Theodore Gilbert has installed the biggest hydropower plant in Portugal and he was seen at the launch [arty last night with a “friend” as he quoted. Looks like Theodore Gilbert knows how to “use and throw” and move on. People throw caution to the wind, but looks like Theodore threw away love to the wind and he is back to his old ways. Honestly, we had missed college playboy Theodore Gilbert a lot. Looks like he is back.Natalie
