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
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."You called this a report, Nathalie?" Kyrie lifted his left hand and showed me the report that I made. "You asked for it and I gave you what you need. What else do you want me to do?" I'm starting to feel irritated again. How can this man be so ruthless to me?! For Pete's sake, we're still married and he, at least, should see me as his wife, but nothing! It seems like I'm the only one who cares about us being tied to each other through this marriage! And the fact that he's doing it right now, is another proof of it."What I want you to do is to give me a presentable report, not like this!" He threw the papers in front of me as he stood up while boiling in anger. "Piece of trash!" I secretly clenched my fist before I looked down in embarrassment. "Can't you do better than that?!"I can't believe Kyrie would embarrass me like this in front of Julia and Logan. He didn't even mind for us to talk about this privately or to not shame me in front of our secretari
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V.I slowly opened my eyes when I felt the sunlight pointing directly to my direction. I can feel the hot feeling of the sunlight on my skin so I immediately got up on the bed and went in the bathroom to wash my body. As I lay down in the bathtub, I could feel myself in that part and it was aching all over. My legs are even shaking and it gave me a hard time walking when I got up to come here. Supposedly, this scene and feelings shouldn't be new to me anymore, because even before Kyrie become my husband, I had known about this already and had experience it before.When I was done cleaning myself, I went downstairs and found maids scattered in the whole mansion, all busy doing their job that they didn't even see me walking pass by them. Kyrie's employees are really well-train in doing their job properly, and what can I say? That man hates mistakes, so I shouldn't be surprise about this anymore."Good morning, Nathalie!" I heard an old man's voice from behind me
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."What are you doing?" I didn't turn my head to see who it was because I was busy clutching my head when I felt my head aching.Maybe because I always lack sleep these past few days, my body is starting to react in pain now.I tightly squeeze my eyes shut while my right hand is gripping the bed cover."Nathalie, what's happening to you?" Kyrie raised his voice before I heard his footsteps coming in my direction. "Nathalie---" I pushed his hand away when he tried to hold me. "What the hell?!""Tsk! I'm fine," I let go of my head when the pain finally subsided before I looked at Kyrie in his eyes. "Why are you here?"Kyrie's confused face was immediately replaced by his irritated expression. He even clenched his jaw while looking at me."Are you sick?" He asked, not sounding so concerned for me."No," I avoided my eyes on him to let him know that I don't want to talk about anything else with him.I'm still not comfortable with Kyrie's presence, especially that
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."Here," Mila placed a bottle of juice in front of me. "Go and try it. It's cheap, but it'll do."From looking at the tray of food on the table, I looked up to meet her eyes."T-Thank you.." I told her before I moved my right hand to pick up the fork in my tray. The cafeteria in Kyrie's company is better than the cafeteria of my company that Kyrie now owns too. The staff are serving everyone with a smile on their faces, like they really love their job and it amazes me. I could be like them too. I could smile while doing my job, only if things went well for my company, but it didn't. It only lasted for years and now it's gone."So, Nathalie..." Mila started talking again. "I heard you had a recommendation from Sir Lester?"Recommendation? I tried my best not to sneer at her question. If you only knew..."Yeah, that's true." No, it's a lie. Kyrie forced me into it. "I've known him since we were freshmen, and met again. He told me about a vacancy here so he ga
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
