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 Tycoon's Lost Child Chapter 47 I'm Pregnant
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
The Tycoon's Lost Child Chapter 48 Spark of Hope.
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
The Tycoon's Lost Child Chapter 49 Thomas Tinkle
Amelia looked at her swollen feet inside flats she never thought she could be found dead in. But they were comfortable and fashion was the last thing on her mind. She was eight months pregnant. She had gained so much weight that she didn't feel comfortable in anything else but the maternity dresses that made her look like a walking tent. She pulled out from her purse the business card she got from her doctor. He was out of the country and had recommended someone in his place, she needed to confirm if today was her appointment. Another thing that had come with pregnancy was that she constantly forgot about things. If it hadn't been for the kind housekeeper and her husband who came with the place, she could have pulled her hair out a long time ago. Nickolas has set her up in a lavish house complete with a housekeeper whose sole purpose was to get her off her feet."There's a gentleman here to see you, ma'am." Abigail, the housekeeper, informed interrupted her. She was holding flowers

Toothless made his way into the Dragons fire pub. When Helen saw him enter the pub, she knew something was up. His shoulders stoop low and he didn't have the bounce he usually had in his step at this hour. "Feeling alright honey?" She asked him as soon as he took a seat at the bar stool. "I will be as soon as I've had a cold pint." He took his wallet and paid. That was another strange thing, Toothless never paid for one pint, he kept them coming until they were ready to close. "Sure you feeling okay. You looking good by the way."He looked at his clothes and rubbed his temples. He had only made an effort for her and their child. His child. That thought scared the shit out of him. His own flesh and blood. If there was anything he knew, was that he didn't want his child growing up to be like him. Amelia had been right not to trust him, even he didn't trust himself, but he knew if there was any chance of him seeing their child, he had to strengthen his act together. When the pint arr

"Grace, can we talk," Nickolas asked looking at her. She lifted her eyes from her breakfast locking gazes with him. "Just for a few minutes, please. I'll talk and you can listen." "Ok. What is it?" she was nine months pregnant and anything and everything irritated her including her husband. "I know this might come as a shock to you but I thought it was something you should know" She dropped her fork on her plate loudly, she was now pissed at Nickolas for disturbing her secret time with food and dragging whatever he wanted to say out."It's about James. I know I haven't been forthcoming about what happened." "Oh?" she sounded disappointed. "Did you two have a fallout?" "Something like, only I didn't know. James was in love with me and he did tell me all the time I've known him. He took Neill because he was trying to get rid of anyone who came between us." Her jaw dropped. Her eyes got bigger than they were. "I don't understand, how was James in love with you, I mean…" she gestur

Nickolas was awakened by a soft knock on his bedroom door. He slipped out of the covers and put on a bathrobe.Luther was standing outside his door ash faced. "I just received a call from one of my men on the Island. James shot someone and turned the gun to his head."Nickolas took in a chunk of air and choked on it."When did this happen?" he couldn't believe James would do something like that."This evening, Sir, they have already taken the body to a local funeral home.""Both bodies?""No, the young man survived, he was rushed to hospital and they took James to the funeral home." Luther looked shaken. "Sir, if we left now, we could be back here by lunchtime.""No." He closed the bedroom door shut. "There is nothing we can do at this hour if they have already taken the body away, besides, I have a pregnant wife in there who can go into labor at any minute now. Prepare to leave first thing in the morning. And Luther call the pilo
The Tycoon's Lost Child Chapter 53 Strands of Hair
Amelia paced the small floor in Theodore's nursery.She had sent the nanny away and had washed and fed him herself. She realized it had been a while since she had felt so free, without the trappings of power she had worked so tirelessly to have but had never had. Every time she looked at Theodore her heart grew in leaps and bounds and then she knew what real love was. She wondered if that was the same love Nickolas had found with Grace on the ship. The one that made you all cold and got at the same time. But there was something else she had been feeling apart from her love for Theodore. The feeling was so new and it terrified her to even think about it. She didn't dare try to make sense of it. She found herself looking forward to Thomas's unpredictable visits. When he didn't show up, she scolded herself for even allowing him to occupy any space in her head at all.A soft knock sounded and interrupted her pacing. She took a deep breath and fanned

"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
