The Tycoon's Lost Child Chapter 41 Stifling silence.
Two weeks after the proposal. Things were still far from being easy at home between Nickolas and Grace. Now sitting by herself in a small cafe outside the gallery, Grace forced herself to go over her relationship with Nickolas. This was the first time she had left the house after Niell came home. James had been glad to babysit for her while she ran some errands. Now she felt like she was in a good position to evaluate her status and if this was the kind of life she wanted to live for the rest of her life. Always wondering who would betray them next. These thoughts hadn't vanished since the night Niell came home. Even as she went about her mommy duties around the mansion, fuelled on ecstasy and pastry, thanks to James she wouldn't be fitting onto her clothes soon. Susan's betrayal kept on nagging at her,she wondered why and Nickolas's refusal to discuss the matter with her only drove the gap between them even wider.Suddenly a picture of Rose popped into her mind, she pictured the

Amelia received the white lily flowers with mixed feelings. She had been in her apartment for weeks now. Not knowing what the future held for her, meant not having any clear goals for herself. Since her doorbell hadn't rung in over a month now, she was surprised by the man who delivered the flowers. No one had any reason to send her flowers. Maybe it was one of Toothless's tasteless jokes again. She opened the black card that hung from the side. Two words. From Nickolas.Amelia started to pace in her lounge area. What was the meaning of this? White lilies were amongst her favorite, yes. But if he wanted them to mend fences, he could have sent roses and not lilies. Besides, she and Nickolas were not on the best of terms, as far as she knew he should be sending her dead rabbits or mice. Then why was he sending her flowers? As a goodbye note maybe, to symbolize her in a coffin carrying flowers. Flip! Her mind was a jumbled mess. Nothing made sense anymore. Should she confront him abo

On their second morning in Culmore, Rose planned to take Niell out with her to meet some friends."I have a whole day of fun and activity planned for us today.""That is very lovely Rose, but don't you think the wind might be too harsh for him?""You cannot hide behind this baby, it's obvious that you and Mr. Meyer need time alone, to sort out your differences." Grace signed and took a chair from one of the stools in the kitchen. "It's not like we always fighting, just recently I've been doing a lot of thinking.""Once a woman starts using that word, trouble is not far off, so is the other girl still giving you trouble.""No. It's more than that.""Oh?" she pulled at her big ear."Even before Niell was found, I've been questioning us." Rose glared at her to go on. "I'm not sure this is the life I want to live for the rest of my life. Niell's disappearance opened my eyes. Nickolas is rich…""We all know that." Rose cut in."But with his status comes also the potential danger of harm,

The morning after the wedding, Nickolas and Grace flew to Greece, for their week-long honeymoon. They wanted to take Niell with them but Rose wouldn't hear any of it. She insisted on looking after the boy for the duration of their honeymoon.

The black Cadillac sped into the meter mansion grounds. Nickolas was in a foul mood. He kept on hitting the steering wheel "Damn it! Damn, it!" what had he done just now?He needed to get his emotions in control before Grace and Niell arrived in the afternoon. God. He hoped he would be able to stay away from Amelia and her seductive charms or his marriage was doomed. He strode into the mansion. His shoes clicked against the marble floor. "You came back early from your honeymoon, everything okay?" James said casually from the living room. Nickolas turned to face him. "I did not see you there James." He took a deep breath. "Are we alone?"He looked like a man haunted. James looked around too, puzzled by his question. "As far as I know we are. All the servants are gone for the day, I didn't know you were coming back so soon." he gestured with his hand. "I would have had something prepared for you.""No need, I arrived this morning. I have arranged for Grace and Niell to come this
The Tycoon's Lost Child Chapter 46 The letter.
The breakfast was lovely, James had outdone himself. He had everyone's favorite. After breakfast Nickolas excused himself to go to his study, there was tension between him and Grace that only he knew about. "Thank you, James, that was a treat."Grace said helping him clear away the dishes. The two had grown close in the previous months when they were alone in the mansion. "Anytime. Was there anything you needed, I want to go to my room at the back of the mansion.""Yes. I wanted to go to the gallery today." She blushed "I don't need a driver. Please let Nickolas know when you see him."Knowing the two of them, he wondered if they were avoiding each other. They seemed to be both entertaining other parties outside the marriage. "Of cause. Il sure let him know." he couldn't dwell on their fresh marriage that seemed to be going under. He had his bowl of worms to deal with. "I'm gonna miss you, Grace." He said when she went back to her chair.She was taking her bag when she stopped sudd

The drink hit the back of his throat and left a burning sensation. If anyone had told him the truth as it is, he would have emptied his gun on their head. But this was James, the steadfast James he had depended on for years to keep the ship running. And the ship had run smoothly without any problems until now.That same James had been in love with him. 'surely you must have seen the signs..' what signs could he have been referring to? But come to think of it, James never brought in any female companion he didn't have any that Nickolas knew of.He realized a glass would not be enough to help him digest the contents of the letter, he took out a new bottle from the liquor cabinet, folded the papers, and went outside. He needed to be alone, next to the pond.The sun was high up, if he got drunk enough soon he would be swimming in the pond. He took a deep breath and opened the papers.'...Even though I knew you didn't see me in a different light, I always hoped that one day you will. As so

He felt his heart swell double its size, it was a different feeling than the one he had felt earlier. with Amelia, he had felt doubts and he had unpleasant questions he had wanted to ask but held them for the sake of her condition. With Grace, This was the best news he'd heard all day. He squeezed her tight in a bear hug. He couldn't be happier. They were having a second child. His mood lifted instantly. "When did you find out?" He was ecstatic."Today, I've been feeling pretty rotten since coming back. I thought it was something to do with the exotic food I had been eating during the honeymoon.""You ate a lot during that time." Her cheeks turned crimson at what he was implying. "I love you, Grace Meyer." He kissed her then. "I tell my PA to start conducting interviews for suitable nannies." She looked at him and brushed his thigh."Or we can skip that part and go straight to bed." Her innocence tugged at his heart when he remembered he had already been in bed that afternoon, bu

"Watch your step." Nickolas walked behind a blindfolded Grace."You know how much I don't like surprises. Are we there yet?" They had been walking for a while now and she was getting suspicious about the so-called surprise. "Almost. You gonna love this one." He was praying he hadn't gone off the mark. They took the last step and he stopped them both. Grace could smell the salt In the air. It reminded her of the smell that was a permanent fixture in their old basement. "Now you can open them." He let go of the cloth that was covering her eyes.When Grace opened her eyes, she couldn't stop blinking at the sight in front of her. "No!" She screamed in delight. "Yes." He couldn't stop grinning as he took in her happiness. The yacht had been an impulse purchase but he was glad he had bought it. "I thought since we met on a cruise ship, for our second honeymoon, we could recreate that experience on a more intimate scale." He was usually very confident but in the past months, he had be

Grace put a steaming cup of coffee before Nickolas on the kitchen island."You are starting to behave like the wife I was meant to have." He looked at the steaming cup and she raised her eyebrow and glared at him."I will take it back if you don't behave." She sat down on one of the high stools and looked at him, her face softening. "Can I ask you something?" She cleared her throat. shifted uncomfortably in her seat. Nickolas raised his eyes and looked at her. "Anything." She shifted in her chair. "When we were clearing out the mansion, I saw a jewelry box in your study…" She let the sentence trail off. "What about it?" He took a sip from his coffee without looking at her. "Is it yours?" "Yes. Pretty much everything in the study was mine. Say what you mean and mean what you say kiddo." He eyed her suspiciously."There was a picture with a woman and a child inside.""And you wanted to know who the woman was, if you must know, she's not my woman.""Of course, I know that I'm your w
The Tycoon's Lost Child Chapter 65 Playground
The following morning, Grace, Nickolas, and Luther walked into the Meyer mansion. The furniture on the first floor had been removed, giving the place an overly open feeling. As much as the light came through the big glass windows, the air inside was stifled and cold, giving the illusion that the house had been vacant for a while. The dust had started to settle on the marble floor, causing a scraping sound as their feet moved against the floor. Nickolas opened the door to his office, the only room on the first floor that had not been touched. Except for the mess that was on the floor, the room was intact. He also felt strange being there, given the fact that he hadn't been gone for over a week. Maybe the mansion had always carried a heavy presence without him realizing it, what was worse, he had gotten used to it. The office looked like someone had ransacked the place or the windows had been left open causing the papers to fly in all directions.He crossed the door threshold, insta
The Tycoon's Lost Child Chapter 64 The Practice
Nickolas made a move to walk towards the bed. But Grace opened her mouth and shook her head. "I don't think I'm ready to go there just yet." He stood next to the bed, hearing what she was saying but not understanding her. "What do you mean by that?""That I don't think I'm ready to share a bed with you just yet." It didn't get any louder than that.He gathered his wayward thoughts and mumbled something before walking into the ensuite bathroom, to take the longest cold shower of his life. Grace sighed with a smile on her face and changed for bed. She picked up the red dress from the floor, shook her head, and smirked at it. Nickolas looked at the two water taps and didn't understand how the cold tap could feel so hot against his skin. He needed it cold. Ice cold to freeze his bruised emotions. Grace was rejecting him. She had been ready to walk out through the front door with her chest barely covered to meet another man and do god knows what but she wasn't ready to share a bed with
The Tycoon's Lost Child Chapter 63 Take it off
Grace looked at her reflection in the full-length mirror. The dress looked, as though it had been sewn on her body. The neckline was too low, and the bodice that was supposed to cover her breast barely covered the whole breast. One mistake and they would be out on display for everyone to see. She put on her matching fuck me heels and did a final twirl in front of the mirror. Satisfied, she took her purse and carefully walked downstairs. She paused at the last step and looked around. With the furniture installed, the house looked more like the home she had envisioned. They had delivered everything she had ordered right to the T. Now all she had to do was to enjoy it. Starting this coming Saturday, with the get-together with her friends. She walked into an open plan that includes the lounge area and kitchen, next to it, the dining area. She walked to the kitchen and took out her wine glass. She needed to calm her nerves before she left the house. After pouring the wine, she gulped

The following morning after he spent a miserable night on the floor. Things seemed to be abuzz at the house. Grace was already up and having a merry time with Niells Nanny. "Good Morning. Hope you had a relaxing night, after all that work you and Luther did." She said when he approached them, moving to the kitchen, to take out two cups. The nanny disappeared at the same speed. Nickolas followed her to the open-plan kitchen h he had a miserable night. While She, on the other hand, looked as radiant as ever, liked someone who had a night's rest in a plump bed with supporting pillows. "It was okay. Not one of my finest. But it was okay, thank you for your concern." He thought his body would snap at the slightest movement. She busied herself in the massive kitchen and brought him a cup of coffee. After last night's events, he hoped it was not poisoned. He closed his eyes and took a sip. It tasted amazing. He looked at the cup in surprise. "What would you like for breakfast?" Grace wa

The following day, The Meyer mansion started getting cleaned and furniture wrapped. And other important items were put away into boxes for storage.By midweek, the undertaker had come to dig up the little coffin from the shallow grave by the pond to be moved to the new estate. Grace was home and they had already chosen a spot to lay her to rest.Nickolas now had two houses to sell. If Amelia ever left hers, he would also sell that house. "The house is in the process of being sold." He told Grace after the undertakers had put the coffin on the ground. "That means you will be homeless soon or are you not moving in with Amelia at her house?" He was taken aback by her question, he didn't think she would ever bring her up. He had a lot of repairing to do. "No. I thought you could spare a room for me. One room at the furthest side of the house. You won't even have to see me." He knew he was pushing his luck, but she looked at him as if considering his words. "I'm desperate here." He add

When Nickolas got home that evening. Stravos met him at the door. "Madam left with her luggage and the baby." Those were the first words that left the man's mouth. "Ok stravos, thank you for letting me know." He had known that it was inevitable, but he still felt a tug at his heart. He had been hoping that they would move across this hurdle unscorched. But maybe he had been right all along. It was too much for her. After all, it had been his cross to bear and not hers.He made his way to the master bedroom and started opening closets, she had taken everything. She wasn't only mad at him, this time she was done, and little Neill? Would they have to go to court and fight it out? It was his rotten luck. He sat at the edge of the bed and thought about his choices. To add salt to injury, Amelia had come out of their affair happier than him, and without a hair out of place. He laughed out loud. She had bagged a child with a man she loved and most of his money. He truly envied her. He got
The Tycoon's Lost Child Chapter 59 Mary-Ann Wilson.
When Nickolas got off the elevator, heads turned to look at him, some who were brave enough, whispered to their coworkers under their breath. It was clear that everyone was shocked just as Luther had been that morning, that they were going to work. He wondered what they must have been thinking all along. Did they think he was dying and the company was going down under? Lucky for them, he was back and ready to stir this ship to greater heights. As soon as Nickolas sat at his desk, his secretary came to his office and gave him a heap of messages that he needed to return. Soon enough he forgot all about Amelia and her drama, he had dodged a bullet there. Funny enough he thought he would lose his mind the day he found her with another man, but to his surprise he didn't feel a thing. Rather, his mind was preoccupied with Grace and the plans he had for them if she ever forgave him for his derailed ways. He wondered if it was too soon to ask for a second honeymoon.Luther knocked and peek
