Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."I'm nervous..." Mia whispered beside me while looking in the mirror. "I don't often go to parties like this, Nathalie. I can only attend because of you and I should be used to it already, but now it's different."I was arranging my earrings when Mia sat down beside me. "What if I mess up? Nathalie, I can't face that Corbyn again, but I have to endure to come with you so I can make sure that his reputation will be tarnished and he'll be punished at the same time!" Yeah, Mia's really lashing out in nervousness right now.I shook my head and didn't answer her. I'd been consoling Mia that she can do it, but she wouldn't listen to me so I presume that it's just her way of calming herself? With that in mind, I didn't mind her anymore and just did my own business.The hairstylist behind me needed to wear his earphones and listen to music just to not be distracted by Mia's voice while he's doing my hair for the second time after I accidentally removed the ties ea
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."You looked tense.." Kyrie stated before he removed his right hand on the steering wheel to reach out to mine.I didn't answer him back because it's really obvious that I am tense. I mean, how can't I? Kyrie's just inches away from me and we're alone in his fr*aking car!Silently, I am cursing Mia in my mind. I'm really not supposed to go, but Mia forced me in and this *ssh*le took advantage of it! He locked the door before he drove away. I even saw his father's glares on me earlier and I knew that he won't stop from pushing me away again. Well, the only difference from before is this time, I would definitely cooperate with him. I let out a deep breath while looking outside of the car's window. 'Fine. Just this once, after this...' I clenched my fist. After this, I don't know what to do next! 'Ah, no. I know! I do know that I should avoid him! But how can I avoid him when he's always around me?! Maybe his father can help...'Kyrie stopped his car in front
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V.The next morning, I found myself in Kyrie's car and we were both silent while he's driving on our way to my house. As much as I want to go to work today, I know that I can't because my head's still throbbing due to a hangover. It's a good thing that Kyrie forced me to let him to send me home this morning, otherwise, I probably won't make it there without battling my hangover.Logan had already given me something to drink, but I think the medicine hasn't done its job yet.When Kyrie's car parked in front of my house, I leaned back to where I was sitting before I took a deep breath. "T-Thank you.." I said, but Kyrie didn't say anything.I wanted to look at him to see his reaction, but the cold atmosphere around us was just too much for me to take so I ended up getting out of the car. After I closed the door, Kyrie immediately drove away in a harsh manner. I sighed while watching his car, he didn't even bid goodbye to me and just left. Well, as if I want one.
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V.When I got home, it was almost near midnight. I was worried that I disappointed Renz, but I was so thankful when he texted me earlier that his dad and cousin's flight would be moved for tomorrow instead due to some problems. I didn't take a glance at Kyrie when he stopped the car in front of our house. I didn't move to get off, I'm just too exhausted and shy for that. Kyrie was insatiable the whole time and it was obvious that he was longing for that kind of stuff. After minutes of silence between us, I took off my seatbelt and without glancing at Kyrie, I opened the door and went directly inside the house. I didn't even look back to check on him.After closing the door, that's just when I felt the regret inside me for what I did. 'I got carried away. It was a mistake!' "F*ck!" I hit my head with my right hand to shake off the feeling in me before I shake my head."What's wrong with you?" I looked up and saw Mia looking at me with a creased forehead.My e
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."I miss this..." Mia whispered to me while hugging me from my side.It's just four in the morning and yet we're already awake and sitting on the shore while listening to the sound of the sea."I realized, Nathalie..." I looked at Mia to wait for her words. "We missed a lot ever since you started your own company." I looked down to my hands as I played in the pure white sand beneath us."Yeah..." I agreed with her after looking back to our past. "We still do this kind of thing before, but not as often as we used to do."Mia hummed before she leaned her head on my shoulder and held my left hand."I want to ask..." Mia played our fingers together. "How are you and Kyrie? You looked bothered last night. Did you fight again?"With that question, I went silent because I honestly don't know what to tell her. After that talk with Kyrie, he leaned down to kiss me with full of roughness. I couldn't say no because my body was trembling and I was so affected by his kis
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V.Heading into my company, I was stopped on my track when I saw Renz in the lounge area after the front desk staff called me to inform me about him. Sighing to myself, I walked towards his direction to approach him. I still feel sorry for not being able to attend on his invitation. Afterall, Renz had always been nice to me and he asked me for a favor that I failed to do even though I agreed to come."Renz..." I stood beside him after calling him to get his attention. He looked lost and... bothered? Maybe it's just me, but Renz feels different today. Like he's up to something, but he's trying so hard to control himself yet miserably failing."Nathalie.." Renz stood up to face me before he stretched out his arms to give me a tight hug. "D*mn..." I heard Renz whisper a curse after letting out a deep breath. "I'm glad you're back..."Feeling uncomfortable, I didn't hug Renz back until he let go of me himself. Renz looked into my eyes with full of longing."Y-Yea
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V.I made a lot of bad decisions in the past. Some decisions that I'm still regretting until these days. Decisions that are still hunting me to my awake and sleeping hours. Decisions that almost killed me.. But now, there's nothing more that I can do other than to try and live my life again. To live as if I didn't experience anything like that in my past. To live as if it wasn't the worst situation that I have ever been in, but no matter how hard I try to be in my best, I still keep on failing.And Kyrie Menzel, the man that I once loved and left behind... Had now become a living proof of my worst decisions. A proof that I'm really meant to be in this kind of hellish life.Looking at myself in the mirror, I can't stop but to feel pity. The beauty artists didn't stop to compliment me, but their compliments were never appreciated. I don't appreciate any of it, because behind those beautiful words was a scarred and pitiful woman. We heard a knock from the door a
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V.I gulped when Kyrie started trailing kisses on my neck to my jaw before his left hand reached out to grab my jaw and made me turn my head on him. That's when I met Kyrie's eyes. It was dilated by his desires. Kyrie leaned down to claim my lips and I just clench my fists to stop myself from moaning. I didn't even kiss him back, but Kyrie wouldn't stop there, of course. He parted our lips and looked at me with anger and threats in his eyes. "Oh, come on. You don't want to end up in jail again, don't you?" Kyrie firmly asked before he tightened his grip on my jaw.I remember Logan asking the same thing. What a trap! He probably made Logan say that so I won't think of a hope to escape. D*mn it! How can I not see that?!I clench my fist even more as thoughts of being in jail come to my mind. 'No. I'm not going there. I'm innocent and not a criminal! I'm not like Tyron and my father!'And in order for me to survive this problem, I need Kyrie's help. As offensiv
Kyrie Menzel's P. O. V."She's lovely, isn't she?" I asked my father beside me as I looked at my wife on the stage.She's now being introduced to everyone as the official heiress of the WGC and the Cole's Empire. After years of suffering in pain, my wife is now free to smile in front of everyone without any walls around her. I'm so proud of her."You really got it bad, son." I hear my father chuckle beside me. Could he blame me? I witnessed how my wife worked hard for the past three years to overcome her burdens and I couldn't be more proud than anyone else. Everyone applauded after Nathalie gave her speech and took photos with her parents. She went through a lot of greetings and congratulations before she finally reached my direction. I smiled at her before I stood up and wrapped my arms around her waist.I kissed her cheek as my right hand travels to her belly. I leaned forward and kiss her baby bump. "Kyrie.." My wife's sweet voice called for me. When I looked up to her, I saw
Nathalie's P. O. V."Tyron was sent to jail as well, just some time after that, I met Kyrie and had been with him," I looked at my husband beside me while I'm telling the whole story to my father. "Though, because of what I went through when I was still in Tyron's hand, I also ran away from him. That's when uncle had me. He took me in and take care of me."I continued telling them everyday I went through, even the part where I met Kyrie again and what happened to us. But when I reached the part where I informed them about Tyron coming back and he took me with him, Dione couldn't help but to be in tears as my father comforted her. It was a strange sight for me actually, I'm not used to seeing them together.My dad was in rage after hearing everything. He even promised to use all his connections just to make Tyron pay, but Kyrie and I told him not to do anything else with that, since we'll be taking care of everything. I know it disappointed him that he can't be of help, but he still re
Nathalie's P. O. V."What is this?" I heard Kyrie asking beside me. He's probably wondering now why the mother of the woman who hurt me and Kiara is right here and in front of us."Did you trap my wife here to beg for your daughter's forgiveness?" His cold and threatening voice echoed in the whole room."Kyrie, calm down, please." Dione said in a motioning her hand to Kyrie. "Let's talk calmly.""Calm? No! After everything that happened, you expect me to be f*cking calm?!" I looked at Kyrie's side when I felt his hand gripping mine tightly. "Did you blackmail her from coming here?!""Kyrie, no. There's no such thing that happened," Dione doesn't seem to know what else to say, she's probably even waiting for me to speak up."Then, what else happened, huh?! What else could be the reason my wife would tremble in fear to come here—-""Because she's my mother," I cut off Kylie's words.Kyrie looked at me with an evident surprise in his eyes. He doesn't seem to believe what I said, no… mor
Nathalie's P. O. V.I was walking towards the dining room with Kisra beside me and holding my hands as I watched her carry her doll that Kai gave her yesterday.Yes, another doll for my daughter and Kai received a good speech from me yesterday after I saw what he was holding. And I'm thankful that he already left now so no one would take Kiara's attention for her father alone.After our talk and plans last night, Kyrie spent the night here with us. Though, Kiara didn't see him because she was in deep sleep even until the morning came. And now, I wanted to surprise her about what our plans would be from now on."Mommy, isn't daddy coming today?" I heard Kiara ask with her sullen voice.I chuckled before I carried her in my arms and gave her a peck in her cheeks. Kiara avoided me because of the surprise she felt but she immediately went to hug me after realizing what I would do."I have a surprise for you," I whispered to her and I saw when Kiara's eyes twinkled in excitement and happin
Nathalie's P. O. V.I felt like I drained my blood and energy when I heard everything that he said. My body froze while looking at him and trying to understand everything I just heard from him.My eyes were watering again as I looked in horror at Kyrie. When I finally understand what he totally meant for what he said, I shake my head and cover my mouth with my hands.Never. I never thought of sending Roxy to jail for what she did to me before, when in fact, I can do it without any problem, especially that Tyron admitted it, too. But because of the fact that we're still sharing the same blood from our birth mother, I considered giving her another chance, that maybe, she can still change and leave me and Kyrie alone or at least just me and Kiara.And this? This is the payment she gave me for letting her be free from the law? She harmed my child! How did she even find out about me and Kiara? That's why the driver of the car didn't stop that night, because it was done intentionally. She d
Nathalie's P. O. V."Nathalie!" I heard when someone shouted my name, but I ignored it. I want to sleep more, I feel so drained right now."Nathalie, open this door! Now!"I groaned before I rolled on the bed and looked for my daughter, but I couldn't feel her body beside me. I slowly opened my eyes when I heard someone banging on the door.I saw Kiara sitting beside me while rubbing her eyes. She's even about to cry because of someone who is disturbing her from sleeping.I suddenly felt annoyed because of the person outside the door so I sat on the bed and looked at the digital clock in the bedside table, only to see that it was still three in the middle of the night! Who in their right mind would make such a scene at this hour?!I clicked my tongue and when I was about to stand up, Kiara crawled on the bed and went to hug me. I carried her in my arms before I walked towards the door and opened it. Kai's hand was hanging in the air and was about to hit the door again, but he stopped
Nathalie's P. O. V."What is the meaning of this, Nathalie?" Uncle asked before he stood up from his seat. "Why is he here?!""Dad, calm down, please." Mia immediately went to her father's side with Aunt Maury to help calm my uncle. "I'm sure Nathalie has her reason.""Reason? I understand that Kiara needed his blood, but after that, shouldn't he leave?!" I can sense the anger in my uncle's voice while looking at Kyrie who's approaching us."Not in front of Kiara," I heard Aunt Maury say with irritation in her voice. "You'll scare the child!"My uncle took a deep breath before he sit down and just watched as Kyrie and Kiara approached us together. Kiara was still smiling happily when she let go of Kyrie's hand and went to them. Mis was the first one to greet her by showering her kisses and hugs. Her eyes were even teary when she looked at Kiara's face."Oh, no… Look at the bruises in your beautiful face!" Mia exclaimed before she wiped her tears. "Our baby was hurt."Kiara smiled at
Nathalie's P. O. V.I slowly turned around to look at Kyrie with a confused look on my face. I found him staring at me with his eyes filled with no emotion."What did you say?" I asked in disbelief. "Did you just call me your wife?" I pointed my finger to myself while still holding the glass. "Kyrie, may I remind you that I already signed our divorce papers? Oh, yes, in papers I am still your wife, but we've agreed to be done already, haven't we? And besides, you're marrying Roxy. You're already engaged to her! And just waiting for the approval of our divorce!" I shake my head at him in disappointment before I turn my back.I took the cupcakes and finally left the kitchen with Kyrie still standing there. I saw in his eyes that he wanted to say something to me, but he didn't do it. He kept himself silent.When I went to the living room, Kiara was there and playing inside her tent. I saw her setting up her small table and plates before she put a party hat on her bear. I smiled with the
Nathalie's P. O. V."You called this home?" Kyrie asked with a disgusted look on his face."What did you say?!" I glared at him.He smirked at me in a playful way before he opened the door to the backseat."Just kidding," he said while smirking at me.I sighed in an exhausted way before I opened the trunk and took out our bags. I never knew he could joke around like that."Leave it, I'll take that in later." I heard Kyrie say in a loud voice while carrying Kiara in his arms.I raised my eyebrows when I saw my daughter trying her best to avoid skin contact with Kyrie who noticed what she was doing, too. I walked towards them and the moment Kiara was able to reach me, she immediately moved to jump in my arms. Kyrie and I looked at each other and I saw when he lost all his emotion in his face, but he remained calm when Kiara faced the house that's behind Kyrie."Mommy, let's go in. I want to play," Kiara said while pointing to the door. "Please?"I nodded before I walked towards the doo
