Everyone at least the six of us which included myself, Mr. Stuart and two other men from whom I think is one of his assistants and lastly Jocelyn waited for Nathan to answer. I only had one thing in my mind. Please don’t say gorgeous.
He had said that to me making me feel special and a heart break is guaranteed if he does call her that. I know and have accepted the fact that she is pretty. She looked amazing in her silver formfitting gown and her hair in a high bun. What is with the colors gold and silver for her? She is always wearing those colors or red.
I looked at Nathan who had removed his hand from mine. “Nathan I am sure she is waiting. Answer her, we have a gala to begin.” Mr. Stuart chuckled but Nathan continued to glare into space.
“I will see you in a while Mr. Stuart.” He said before turning around and leaving us stunned. He did pass us girls each a look but didn’t say anything. Should I be surprised h
How do you like the book so far? Any suggestions? Anyone out there supporting Jocelyn?

The Inflammable Secret Red Eyes
-NATHAN-Where is she? She left to the restroom twenty minutes ago and hasn't still returned. Maybe I should go look for her. But if there is nothing wrong then I don't want to irritate her especially when the day is going really well. “It is rude to ignore when a person asks you something. Especially when it is related to a woman.”I know that voice. I turned around and saw her giving me a flirty smile. If it was a few months before or even at least weeks I would have felt something when I saw her but now I don’t feel anything. There is a chance that I am finally over her. “Oh come on Natty, you just have to compliment my look after all we are to be partners in business.”“I don’t find it necessary. Please excuse me.” I tried to leave but she stood in front of me blocking my pa
The Inflammable Secret Surprise Visitors
-ANASTASIA-I couldn’t confront him yesterday and I don’t think I will ever have the courage to do so. I really wanted to but I couldn’t. Nathan being adamant on doing what he wants changed my focus. He came back to bed all tensed and when I asked, he told me about his mother.She is such a strong woman that I can’t expect her to have a sudden decline in her blood pressure. I spoke to her and she sounded fine but there was fear in her voice. She made sure to make me promise that Nathan should not return back until the honeymoon is over.I did ask her if they were busy, I could ask my parents to keep Helena for a few more days but she was against it. I looked at the clock. The post is supposed to be here in fifteen with all the things I bought for Nathan. He is in his room and will be there for the rest of the day doing some work.He only said this in the morning. “The date is tonight, be ready by seven.&rdquo
The Inflammable Secret Dance
-ANASTASIA-Sighing I looked up trying to keep my tears in my eyes. “Please can we not talk about me being okay?” He eyes on me only became grave. “Fine. I am not okay. Does that make you happy?”His eyes widened before shaking his head. “What makes you say that? Of course, that doesn’t please me.”I scoffed. “Nathan, I want you to be honest.” He nodded after a bit of hesitation. “Do you pity me?” I had the feeling in my heart that despite whether he pitied me or not and despite what my brain screamed I knew for a fact that Nathan didn’t feel disgusted by me.“No. I don’t.”A sigh of relief left my lips before I could stop it. Because I still had questions. “Then why do you ask me every time whether I am okay? Especially after the Dave incident. It irks me and I really don’t need your pity. If not pity then what?”&ldq
The Inflammable Secret Incomplete
-ANASTASIA-“What?” Nathan asked kissing my collar bone. I wanted to take back what I said and I would have if he hadn’t heard it. When I didn’t answer, he came up to my face resting himself above me on his elbows so that he wouldn’t crush me with his weight.Our heavy breaths didn’t do anything to cover up what I said. I tried to pull Nathan back to me but he stayed firm. I sighed and took a deep breath. “Uh… The man send me an email today morning.”Nathan raised his brow first in confusion and then realized who I was speaking about. “Bloody hell!” he cursed before removing himself off me. For a second, he lay beside me in complete silence. “Couldn’t you tell me earlier?” He was pissed but I wasn’t entirely sure of what exactly.Whoa! In the heat of what we were doing I didn’t even realize how wet the bed was. I shivered slightly which didn&r
The Inflammable Secret Birthday
-NATHAN-“Happy Birthday bro.” Marco wished giving me 3-inch-wide grin. I just nodded in acknowledgement and went through the contract once again. “Why are you not happy on your birthday?”I looked up from the papers, am I that visible? I always try to keep my emotions to check then how did he realize my unhappiness. “I am fine. It is just a regular day.” At least it is according to Anastasia. I never really cared who wished me actually I didn’t even remember it was my birthday until mom called to wish in the morning.It is not like I expect her to remember but somehow, I wanted her to wish me. “Dude, you spaced out.”“Hmm?”Marco chuckled causing me to frown. “Didn’t Tasha give you birthday sex?”The events from today morning came back to my head, irritating me even more. Even her mere thought had me turned on and that is not going to be a g
The Inflammable Secret Back Home
-ANASTASIA-‘I am back, you guys. I just had one of the best vacations ever and I recommend it to everyone. Getting up today after a day’s rest I realized that every morning life throws us some form of torture, it can be a craving for junk food especially when you are in a diet or sad news and sometimes really happy news that only lasts for the day.If you are waiting for me to give you some idea or solution against this torture then I am sorry because I am as helpless as you but I do live by one motto and that it is... there is twenty-four hours in a day and your problem feels big only for these many hours and by the time it becomes the 25th hour you will feel better.The cycle of life keeps moving till we puncture the wheel so whatever happens remember that we have time and we will get over it.

The Inflammable Secret Nathan
-ANASTASIA-Small droplets tickled my face making me groan, why do I feel a headache brewing? I heard whispers around me. “Is she okay?”“Should we call the ambulance?”Ambulance? “First the news about her husband and child …. And now this. I think it is bad luck.” Nathan! Helena! My eyes flew open and stood up but sat back down when I felt the sudden head rush.I looked at the worried faces of Cain and Priya. “Did someone call?” They shook their heads in negative. I have to go. I got up again and took my purse to leave when Priya stopped me.“Please calm down and then go.” She said with a pleading face. I shook my head.“I have to. My child and husband is there and I don’t even know who died. You can’t... and won’t understand.” The word ‘died’ caused tears to stream down my face. I pushed her away when I saw Cain spe
The Inflammable Secret Tears for Him
-ANASTASIA-“Do you want me to drop you?” Marco asked making me turn around to face him. I shook my head.And then pointed towards the operation theatre. “James needs someone and can you please call in his wife?” He nodded. I know what he was waiting for but it was hard for me to say the words. “Kelly will drop me. I hope you don’t mind.” I said looking at her, she gave me a thumbs up.We started to go to the entrance when I stopped again, Marco had begun to walk to the theatre. "Marco, wait.” He turned around. He knew what I was going to say. “Please make him like the billionaire that he is known for.” With tears in his eyes, he nodded and went his way.The drive to the Dominic mansion was silent as I remembered the days in Maldives. IT hasn’t even been a week, I scrolled through the pictures we had taken when I remembered the email. It had said ‘tricked you’.

The Inflammable Secret Epilogue
-ANASTASIA-“There you go.” I said pulling the t-shirt over my three-year-old and as always it was a green t-shirt, the boy didn’t like anything other than green. He gave me a cute smile before jumping off the bed giving me a heart attack and ran off to the kitchen to steal one of the cookies that Nathan made the other day. “Don’t take more than one, Chris.” I yelled but I know that it is off no use.Hurrying I changed into a maroon formal dress and did a half up and down before getting out of the room. “Come on Chris, I have a reading to be done with and then we have to go to your sister’s play.” By the time I reached the kitchen I was panting.Chris had cookie crumble all over his face, “Mama can I have another cookie?” I looked at the plate, out of six cookies that were there only four were remain, I gave him a knowing look which made him pout. “Two mama, yummy dada&rsquo
The Inflammable Secret I Love You
-ANASTASIA-Oof! All the bags were packed but I was only taking one with me, Nathan said he could send the rest to Philadelphia. No, he is not okay with me going but that is how it has to be. My bus comes at 10 which means I have to leave now if I want to catch that bus.I read my response to Philadelphia once again with a sigh. I guess I am happy with my decision, this is for the best. “Are you packed?” Nathan asked making me turn around and see him leaning against the door.Last night I thought he would not stay with me in the room but he did, he hugged me tightly almost as if I would get up and leave at night. Then again, I didn’t complain because I don’t know when I will get the chance to sleep with him again. “Yeah. Helena awake?”He nodded. I removed the shirt I was wearing noticing my belly, it was not showing yet, Dr. Melendez said I would have to wait for three months to see the bump but he sai
The Inflammable Secret His Version of the Truth
-NATHAN-“Why did you lie to me?” She asked tears filling her eyes. I thought she was bothered by me not being Helena’s father but her problem was that I lied to her.Sighing I pulled at the ends of my hair, I was going to tell her when we went on that date but then she felt insecure and the day went with that. I tried many times but backed off afraid of her reaction. “I was scared.”She scoffed. “Is that the truth? Because Nathan as far as I can remember from the time, we met you have only been feeding me with lies and me, like a fool believed each and every one of it.” Her words hurt but I deserved it and I won’t ask her to take it back or apologize.“I am now telling you the truth...” I said trying to reach out to her but she stepped away like I was a stranger, this hurt way worse than when Jocelyn cheated on me and I can’t imagine the pain I caused her. “Anastasia
The Inflammable Secret New Member
-ANASTASIA-My eyes widened. “Ar… are you sure?” I asked trying to remember whether we used any protection, all the times we did it but I am not sure. I didn’t take any pills but about Nathan, I am not sure.“Yes. WE checked twice since we were shocked.” Should I panic? No, I am not sad, I have a life growing in me, in nine months I will get someone like Helena there is nothing to be sad only happy. But I don’t know if Nathan felt the same. “Anastasia, we took your blood with you pregnant that is not good.”I frowned. “How so? The baby is fine right?”“For now, yes but I don’t know about the future, because as you can see you have intense pain and that is not going to reduce. During the delivery you are going to have complications and anemia is something you will have to suffer throughout the nine months.” I smiled at him, making him raise his brow. &ldqu
The Inflammable Secret Helena
-ANASTASIA-I had stopped listening to the doctor and had my eyes on a frantic Maria. Moving away from the others I walked over to her, somehow my mind kept telling me that something is wrong. But what could go wrong? Maybe Helena was being fussy so Maria brought her to me.Yeah, that is the best explanation. I touched her shoulder, she turned to me and heaved a big sigh of relief. “Tasha... Helena is not well.”I raised my brow before taking Helena from her, “What could be wrong? She was fine when we left her in the morning.” I said chuckling nervously. I touched her forehead, it wasn’t warm but she looked pale and wasn’t opening her eyes. “She doesn’t have a temperature but why is she so pale?”Maria shrugged. “She was playing with her toy when it dropped from her hand, I thought it was normal but when I looked at her, she was on the verge of fainting. I picked her up and calle
The Inflammable Secret Stitches
-ANASTASIA-Their eyes were wide like saucers when the door was bashed open and Nathan came in with the cops. “Surprised?”I smacked his arm. “Stop being so dramatic, they get our point.” Nathan glared at each one of them and I saw his clenched fists, I didn’t want him to fight in here no at least not in front of the cops. I took his hand in mine releasing the knuckles and then entwining our fingers.“You. Were. Alive?” Jocelyn asked still in shock.“Yes. If you only wanted to kill me and take my place in the company then why did you pretend to be in love?” Jocelyn’s head bowed in shame, his eyes were on Stella. Even when he says that he doesn’t care, I knew he did after all it was his cousin and first love.Stella was screaming and throwing her feet in air as they dragged her out. “Nathan we are cousins, why do you think that I would plot to kill you? I am&hel
The Inflammable Secret Making him Confess
ANASTASIA-Surprisingly Dave wanted to meet today, that is a week after our conversation. I wonder why he did that? “Park how long till we reach?” I asked him leaning over.“10 minutes ma’am.” Nodding my head, I continued to look outside. I knew Nathan was ten feet away from me but I couldn’t help but feel slightly nervous. If everything goes well, then according to the plan Nathan will announce that he is alive in the afternoon and from tomorrow I can go back to reporting and Nathan can go to his second home, his office.Dave wanted us to meet in a hotel, not a very pricey one but considerably cheap. It was a motel more than a hotel. When Park parked the car, I took in a deep breath before praying in my head. I am scared, I don’t want to do this. Shit! I am panicking. “Relax, I am right behind you.”Nathan’s voice calmed me and I smiled at myself. “Let’s go teach thi
The Inflammable Secret Trapping Them
-NATHAN-Jocelyn had entered my list as number three, yes, she managed to pass five other people. Seeing Anastasia’s shocked face, I could understand why she would think that I wouldn’t put Jocelyn’s name in the list. What she didn’t know was that I am way too rational and practical, I don’t trust anyone easily.And Jocelyn had stepped down from my trust list the day she cheated on me. Also, her sudden interest to be with me again was way too obvious, she wanted money which was actually greed but I knew what she wanted more and that is power. “Stop looking surprised, Monroe and tell me if you think of anything else. I will run this with Marco.”She nodded and went out of the room only to come back within minutes. I smirked at her, “Missed me already?”Rolling her eyes, she came near me past my desk and stood in front of me with one hand on her hip making her look sexy, the crop top she
The Inflammable Secret Confirming the Enemies
-ANASTASIA-“I am sorry but you are wrong.” They looked confused and Cecilia’s face suggested that she thought I was crazy. Standing up I took my purse and said to them, “Come on, I will prove it to you.”Without waiting for their answer, I left the office and Stella glanced behind my back, I hope they don’t talk to her about what happened inside. I watched through the open elevator doors as they came out of the office eyes filled with tears and passed by Stella. Thankfully, they did not speak with her. “We will follow your car, Tasha.” Michael said getting out of the elevator.Nodding I got in the car and asked Park to drive to the Dominic residence. This was a better idea because then I might get a chance to warn Nathan. He is not going to expect this which makes his reaction almost unimaginable. I don’t want him to be mad at least not after last night.Last night’s memories au
