Nate's POVHe took a sit in front of my desk and we started discussing about business.I was at first shocked that he had arrived so quickly because my secretary had only got back to him about five minutes ago that he could come over.Seeing him here not long after made me wonder if was in the neighbourhood before.It was as if he read my mind and he knew what I was thinking because he gave me the right answer to my bother.Sorry for coming into your office on just short notice, I was actually in the neighbourhood and I thought that I'd reach out to you to know if you are available so we could discuss our partnership progress.I was shocked at his statement but I didn't make a visible reaction.Alright by me, I said I'm the coolest of tone.Something always doesn't just feel right with me anytime I meet with this man.I could not tell what it was but I usually feel some odd energy around him.I wanted to place know what it was by all means and I'm pretty sure I will find that out soon
Nate's POVI don't know what it is that was always wrong when meeting with Mike but it became bothersome to me.Having such odd and unrelatable feelings towards someone is suspicious.There's no way that there is no bad or dangerous hidden act in the hands of Mike.As I was trying to pace the whole situation even though it was proving stubborn to understand, there was nothing I could donate at the moment.I thought to myself to wait for Damien since he said he was coming, I will tell him about the whole issue and then we'll also conduct another finding through our private investigator to know Mike's movements and other things that can be found in him.Also, the fact that he said he needed to get the contact of my private investigator made me know he was up to something fishy.I suspected him a lot and I could tell he had something's he was up to which is of no good.Not long as I was still thinking, I heard a knock on my door and then Damien came into my office.As he entered, I could
Nate's POVI think that explains the odd unrelatable feeling I usually have when Mike is around me.It never sits well with me nor have I gotten used to it since we started seeing each other for our partnership meetings.How do I break this news to Isabella, imagine telling her that I have something to say to her and the thing that comes out of my mouth is that I partnered with her ex-boyfriend for work.Wouldn't she even think we've known each other before and I'm a culprit too?She might also think I probably want to sell her out in the long run and send her back to Mike or even maybe I'm a bad person just as Mike was.I might probably hurt her the same way Mike had done to her or even worse.All this situation is so blurry and it's giving me no clear way forward on how I should go about the situation.I and Damien sat still in my office for so long, it could be minutes or even an hour on but we didn't know.We were only just worried about the whole situation that just unravelled in
Nate's POVI was still sitting there in my office, with my mind running through different thoughts because Jane had come to put me off my present dilemma.She knocked on my door and came into my office, then she told me we had a site inspection we needed to do for now as the clients were already on their way there.I had thought she didn't notice a change in my mood because I had tried to mask my current mood as she came into my office, but I guess I thought wrong or she probably just read my mind because she asked me if I was good immediately I had just thought about her not noticing my mood change.I jinxed it, I guess.Oh, of course, I'm good, I tried to put on a smiling face.I'm only tired for the day and I'd completely forgotten about the site inspection we have scheduled for later today.But don't worry about me, okay?It's fine, let's just go.I checked through my table to see if I needed anything and I picked up my phone before leaving the office.I met with Jane downstairs w
Nate's POVI gave her a nod as we both walked to the front of the building to go meet up with our client.Hi, Mr Nelson, I said as I approached him.He also greeted me back.Hello, Mr Nate sorry we are late.We encountered a bit of traffic on our way here, that was the cause of our delay.Oh, not to worry, that's fine.Alright, let's get into it then.How far gone is the work, he asked me.Oh, it's going pretty well and the workers are doing a great job so far, as you can see for yourself now.The work is going on speedily which means we will be able to achieve everything we want to do in due time.This is a good job done so far, he said with a smile on his face as he nodded in approval of the progress of the work. I'm very pleased with the pace at which this work is moving.With the rate of things now, it means we will have enough time to complete everything we want to before the opening date.I like the work you people are doing here so far. This shows we are in trusted hands.Oh,
Nate's POV.I did a bit more paperwork and signed all the documents Jane had given to me earlier that needed to be signed.I did this for over two hours and I completed all the work that I needed to do for the day.After I finished, I turned in to go and rest for the day.I had wanted to go home today so I could see Isabella but the turnout of this didn't make me feel like it anymore.I wanted to make sure that I have everything under control before I can go home to face Isabella.This issue with Mike was just a turn in my flesh.I knew I needed to sort it out as soon as possible before it got completely out of hand.I went into the room that I had at my workplace after Jane came to tell me she was done for the day.She bade me a good night and so did I too.As soon as I stepped into the room, I got a call from Andrew.He said he was coming to see me at work.I asked if there was any problem and he said there was no problem at all.That even made me more worried because I didn't know
Isabella's POVAs soon as I got back into the kitchen, Thelma was already waiting for me.She said, she had checked around the kitchen and she had thought of a meal we could make but she was waiting for me just in case the ladies had another good option or suggestions for the food we should make.I told her immediately that the ladies didn't say anything to me, when I asked them if they had anything in mind for us to make, they all echoed a big “no” all at once.It was as if they had rehearsed it before.I didn't know what to say to them so I just said “okay” and left.They didn't seem to want to speak even if I persuaded them, it would have been a waste of time, effort and energy.Also, looking on the bright side, we are not restricted to making what they want and they are not picky with food too so we can make something very nice ourselves and they will appreciate it. Well, that's true, I'm glad they didn't pick anything too because I have an idea of what when I went to check for
Isabella's POVI watched Andrew leave the kitchen, as he took the food pack along with him and he stylishly stole a glance at Thelma as he left.I cleared my throat as I turned to Thelma to see her face.She made a blank expressionless face but as her friend, I could tell she also saw the way Andrew looked at her.I wanted to even tease her about it but I had a rethink of heart so I decided not to anymore.After what she had faced in the hands of a relationship before, I don't know how long it will take Thelma to give love a chance again.I really wish I could help her but there is little or nothing I could do about it.I immediately put on a smiling face to lighten up the room then I told her to come set the table with me.I had told the ladies to join us in ten minutes and I'm sure they will be here soon.We brought out the food she had served in the serving dishes and we took them to the dining area.We set the tables with plates and all the cutleries that will be needed.She also
Isabella's POVNate stopped me. He then put his hands on my shoulders while making me sit on the bed.You have done enough, now it's my turn, he whispered.He then moved his hands to my back and unclasped my bra in one move.He looked at me sexily before he gently pushed me back to the bed.He made sure to take off all of my clothes first.The only thing I had in me was the ring he had asked me to marry him with.He told me to put it on while he then had his way with me.I much I have missed being with him.I was in love with this man, madly in love with him.We stayed glued to each other the whole night.Days passed, weeks went by, and it was about two months after now the plans for our weddingwere going on.I was with Thelma, and we went for my dress, finally fitting.My wedding with Nate was in a week, and I was the happiest woman on earth.It was my dream come through.I began to think about everything that had happened and how I have gotten here.My wedding was in less than a wee
Isabella's POV As we were talking, he mentioned relocation.It was a good thing that schools were on holiday during this period.It was a good time to change the children's school. We would have enough time to get a good school for them.We discussed the movement and everything we needed to put in place.Sleep took over before we knew it.It's already been three days since I got back together with Nate, and it has been filled with joy, peace and laughter.I was grateful that things were beginning to look good for me.Nate had travelled back to his place yesterday.He went to go and get the children's room ready and he also needed to make preparations for their school transfer.I'm glad that I was done with my exams, so I had time to do other things than stick to reading books.Thelma had been a sure support, and she was actively involved in our parking arrangements.She also confessed to me how Nate was able to locate me and I was grateful at how far she went for me to be happy.We h
Isabella's POVAfter a week, Thelma and her mother travelled back. Thelma had told me that she would be back after two days she just needed to go do some things.She was on her leave from work, and she decided to spend it with me and the kids.The two days she was away were boring.I was really happy the day she came back.She was acting weird, though, but I didn't think much about it.At first, she told us to go grocery shopping, but she chose the park's supermarket that was close to us.Thelma has always preferred going to get things at a farther distance.I just thought it was for a change.This evening, she told us to go for a walk.I thought we would go with the kids, but she insisted that they stay home with the nanny while we had some girl's time out.I thought that it would be a fun thing so I accepted.We have been strolling for the past couple of hours, Thelma. Can we go back home now?She said she wasn't ready to go home,e but we could go rest in the supermarket lounge are
Nate's POVMy eyes sprang open immediately when I heard her name.I sat up and all the sleep I had in my eye wiped off after hearing her name.Isabella? What about Isabella?Tell me everything.Yes, boss, he answered, and then he started to speak.Boss, I got a call from Isabella's friend, Thelma, last night. She asked if I was still working with you.I told her, “Yes”. She then sent me to you.She told me that Isabella was doing fine, but she was not leaving well.She talked about her friend confessing that she still lives with you and she misses you dearly.She said she had spoken to her friend to reach out to you but she had refused.She said she needed your help with something and this would help her make a way for you and Isabella to meet.I had also told her how miserable you are still. Isabella disappeared.She wants to meet up with you first before she helps you reach Isabella.Okay, where does she want to meet?She said she was fine with any place of your choosing.Alright t
Nate's POVIt's been over four years of loneliness.I had not been able to reach Isabella.Even Dan tried a couple of times but it was to no avail.It was like she disappeared from the earth's surface.I had reached out to Thelma several times. But she had been very mad at me.She never gave me a chance. She had even threatened to call me out as a stalker.I had to back off from seeing her.My life was more miserable than I had thought.Everything seems to be a blur to me by the day.I was deeply heartbroken.All of my achievements were in vain.Everything that I had gained that caused me to lose Isabella was all a waste.None of them made me happy.I was glad that Mike had been arrested for his crimes but I wanted to see Isabella.My heart calls out her name day and night.In the last four years, I had fought my brother with the help of my friends, and I had successfully caught him and exposed all of his hidden crimes.My father was also in support and he was arrested by the police.
Isabella's POVCome on girl, you can't be like that. You can't do that to me.We both are in different situations; how can you even do me like that?I'm still in my healing process. Are you not even happy that I was able to acknowledge the fact that I missed him?Give me a break, okay?You should reach out to Andrew without holding back especially not for my sake.I would love for you to have your life filled with laughter.Man's laughter, I said teasingly.You don't have to put your love life on hold because of me.Have fun and break a leg.It would make me so happy. Your happiness is my happiness, too, so don't take that away from us.I made sure to give Thelma lots of pep talk.Yes, Mom, I have heard you, she answered me sarcastically.After gisting for a few more minutes we both went to bend.Rise and shine, mommy; I heard the children scream at the top of their voices while jumping on the bed to wake me up.I heard their voice from dreamland and it brought a smile to my face.I
Isabella's POV She was equally happy to see them. She hurriedly dropped the plate in her hand on the dining table while she reached out to give them a big hug.They were such small figures in Grandma's hands.She carried them together, both in her hands and they were happy.I went close to them after the nanny had collected their bags from me.Natalie was the first to accuse me.She said, Mommy mommy, see. Grandma can carry us together but you can't not.Nathan also supported his sister.You would have at least thought that he would defend me but instead, he said.Grandma is strong and has a lot of power, while Mommy is lazy, so she doesn't have any power.Everyone in the room started laughing at the funny words that came out of Nathan's mouth.Thelma also added, guys I think mommy is lazy because she is always working all the time.How about we give Mommy some free time today while she rests so she can get all her power back?Yes, Aunty, they both answered.Alright guys, while momm
Isabella's POV Thelma's mother was very funny.She also had our best interest at heart too but sometimes it was too much for us to handle.You know you're my only daughter and I'm glad that you have blessed me with two children.But I don't want you to tie yourself down.You are still very young, and you're well-to-do.You should meet people. I'm so that that there are still some lovely men out there who would like you I don't want you to be like this Thelma, she slapped her hand while she called her name.She has chosen to stay away from men.She probably wants to be a nun.Even though you have been hurt before I don't want that to be the determinant of your life.You can't stop yourself from living life because of someone who is probably enjoying the best of their life now.Imagine putting your life on hold for someone who doesn't even remember or think about you.That would be a very foolish thing to do.You guys are still very young.I am not pushing out there to choose wrongly,
Isabella's POV.It's been over four years since I came back to my grandma's town.I had gotten maximum support from Thelma, as she promised me.She was with me all through the pregnancy stage to the birth of my children.I had twins. A boy and a girl.The boy's name is Nathan while I named the girl Natalie.Thelma had teased me so much when I picked the names.She said that I was still madly in love with Nate that was why I incorporated his name into my children's name.I denied it though. I told her that it was because Nate was their father, even though I didn't want to have anything to do with him.When the kids are grown, and they start asking for their father, I might reach out to him then so he could meet his children.The last few years have been filled with a series of episodes. Ups and downs.But now, my children will be five years in less than five months.Even though I denied still loving Nate, I knew I was still in love with him despite all that had happened.I was just too
