NatalieShe got into her blue grey silk dress which flowed beautifully like water, and hugged her every curve. It was Theo’s choice. He had held it up for her, and Natalie had been unable to get her eyes off it.Now she was in it, and admiring her figure. Her makeup was complete. She decided to let her hair fall in beautiful waves. She put on the matching stilettos and earrings and sighed looking at herself. She looked beautiful.She came down to see Theo ready in his white tuxedo and he looked absolutely dashing. However, he had sated her enough today, she was hungry for him again. She wanted to claw her nails in his tux and tear it open to lick his chest. But she smiled and he returned the same smile.“You are breathtaking.” He spoke and kissed her hand.‘You are looking handsome too, Mr. Gilbert.” She placed a kiss on his cheek and found him staring at her with his beautiful eyes. He indeed had beautiful eyes.She could see what he must be thinking. He had asked her a question afte
TheodoreSomething had changed. Theo could feel it. Natalie was different since the moment she walked out of the hall to use ladies’ room. He had sensed something, but he couldn’t put his finger on what was changed.Theo was grateful that Jacobs had not attended the premiere. He had looked for his rival everywhere, without letting his emotions show, but the hair on his neck were erect. Is he losing the touch? Why is he thinking so much about Jacobs? He didn’t want to, but he couldn’t shrug Jacobs’ warning. Theo hated the fact that he had an enemy who couldn’t understand reason. But Jacobs was proving to be a good rival, Theo had to give him that.When Tho had asked Natalie what was wrong, she had told him that she was hungry, and yet, she had not even finished an egg roll. Theodore was not worried. Maybe all the signs were now telling him that he was going in the wrong direction. He wanted to change but what could he do now? Let Natalie go?The picture of her walking out on him shook
NatalieNatalie was feeing bad all day for snapping at Theodore, but she was more upset by his calm demeanor even after her behavior. He had not been angry at all, or given her a reason to doubt him. He said that he will wait. Is he really changing? For her?The more she thought about this question, the more she felt bad that she was doubting him, but she couldn’t help not think about what the man had told her the previous night in the ladies’ room. She had not even asked him his name. How foolish is she?There was also a possibility that what if the man is proven wrong? What if there is no reason for her to not love Theodore? What will she do? Because with every passing day, her heart was yearning for his proximity, his touch, his scent, at all times. This is not how one should feel when they are not in love with someone, right?Her heart was at war. She wanted to believe Theodore. Yet there was a sword hanging on above their relation.She paced around the house all day. There were t
NatalieNatalie was numb when she got home. She was shivering despite the heat of the summer, and her heart was merely beating but she didn’t care. Because she had no reason why it must beat.All she could think of was Theodore’s betrayal.‘He was an engaged man. He chased her still. He was forbidden, and yet he made her is dirty little secret. It was nothing but lust on his part and he made her believe that it was an arrangement, when he had deliberately thought everything. He was a cheater, and he can’t change. He told her specifically that they were supposed to be strangers, when he had everything on her. He had told her that they were not supposed to fall in love, but he did it himself. There were no rules in his world, and he didn’t abide by any. He was just a powerful man who acted at the whim of his mood, his desires, his lust, and he had Natalie trapped because he had fallen for her. Yet, he never learned to be honest with her. Even when she asked him that would he always be h
NatalieShe was shocked why Theodore wanted to see his mother. He wanted to see her? Or he had a hidden agenda, she had no idea, but she was not very enthusiastic about them meeting. She shouldn’t have been surprised though when he had told her that he will be coming with her. He won’t leave her alone, she knew.She had to think fast. She had to do something. What if one day they wake up and Theo wants to marry her? He had kidnapped her from one wedding. He can organize one too at gun point.So, she did, what she could do. She acted like a kid, knowing 200% that it will work.She came down for breakfast next morning in her pajamas and when she found Theo on the couch reading newspaper, her inner goddess salivated at the sight of him. He was dressed in a tank and gym shorts. His hair were falling deliciously on his forehead and he looked absolutely edible.So, she did what her heart told her to, because right now, her mind was in conformity with her inner goddess.She walked up to him
TheodoreHe looked at himself in the mirror and sighed, rubbing his hands. He was a tall, muscular, handsome men, and he knew it very well. He had used his amazing body to his advantage a million times in life. Be it the librarian Mrs. Lucca, or the girls in his college, he had always felt on top of the world.Once someone had told him that even if he would wear rags, he would look photo-ready for Vogue. Theodore was proud of himself.But today when Theodore was going to see his future mother-in-law, or so he believed that she shall be one day, he was doubting himself. His bed was a pile of clothes because he couldn’t decide what to wear. Wearing shirt and trousers will make him look dressed for a formal meet. Wearing a t-shirt and jeans will make him look like a teenager.“Urrgghhhh…..” He growled as he pulled the t-shirt over his head and threw it on the ever-growing pile.“Need help?” Turning around, he saw Natalie on his doorstep, watching him with an amusing smile on her face.“I
NatalieNatalie was shocked at Theodore’s behavior. He was being awfully honest. Did her prayers for him to become an honest man were answered? If yes, it was a shitty time.When she had seen him an hour ago, nervously rejecting every piece of cloth, she had smiled. He was making an effort. It had put her into a great dilemma when he had told her again that he loved her, and she had this feeling where she wanted to ask him for the truth. But how could she?She had wrestled with the thought, but now in this moment, the way he was talking to her family, about her father, Natalie wasn’t so sure. He wasn’t changing. He is the arrogant billionaire who has kidnapped her. Though, he was not a torturer. Maybe the most gentle kidnapper in the history, she had thought.Her mother had made her sit down and asked, “How are you, dearest? Is he treating you well? Please tell me you are not being tortured? Oh, dear, I can’t tell you how helpless your father and I feel.”“I am fine, Mom.” Natalie ha
NatalieWilliam was rinsing the dishes and drying them, while Natalie was lathering them up.“So, what do you think of Theodore now?” William asked her, but she had her own set of questions ready.“Forget about him. How is father? Let me ask, considering Theo isn’t around to make a condemning remark about him.” She scoffed.“He is well. What I don’t understand is why is he still entertaining Nicholas and his son.”“What do you mean?” Natalie asked.“I had heard them planning a move on defeating Theo, but I walked in, they stopped and Dad and I had an argument.”“About what?” Natalie had washed her hands now and focused her attention on William.“It doesn’t matter. But Dad is hiding something, I am sure of it. There is more to it.”Natalie could guess what it was. Her father was planning things to rescue her from this cage while William was suspecting he was plotting something for Theo. It was the only explanation.She didn’t give it much thought, because she didn’t need to. She had an
