Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."I am not a wh*re. I didn't sell myself to Kyrie in exchange of having s*x with him whenever he pleases to do so. I married him. I married your cousin, Jam, and as his wife, I have a responsibility to take care of him and give him everything that I can offer as much as I can and it won't harm me." I diverted my eyes on Jennifer. "I appreciate your concern for your cousin, but, Jennifer, you should know that I am not a gold digger like you claim that I am. Because first of all, I never asked Kyrie to do that for me, he did it voluntarily. Second, I have my own company, which is now under Kyrie's management after I signed a contract giving it to him without any payment, well actually, there's a condition but your cousin wouldn't keep it. I am rich too, not just as wealthy as you and Kyrie, but I have money too. And last, Kyrie's not providing me anything. I even work for his company as one of his employees, without salary, of course.""And it was your fault f
Nathalie Wrights P. O. V.I felt hopeless. That's what I am feeling right now, because just after I woke up, Fia called me and said that Kyrie wanted me to join him for breakfast. Didn't he realize that maybe I still haven't recovered and I need more time to sleep? It has only been two hours since I slept and now I need to wake up again and join him for a freakin' breakfast that he can have even if I am not with him! Curse you, Kyrie!While clenching my jaw, I went downstairs and didn't pay any attention to anyone who's trying to greet me. Kyrie was already there in the dining room and drinking his coffee when I arrived. If last night, he looked so livid. Now, his emotions have changed. He looks so sated now, as if he just accomplished something that made him really happy right now.I didn't mind him anymore and just went straight to the chair beside him before I picked up the fork and started eating. I made sure to not be in any direct contact with his eyes. "You look grumpy today
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."So, most of the women in this house are in love with my husband?" I asked while grimacing. "If Kyrie and I are on good terms right now, I'd probably be worried because of that, but..." I shrugged at her.Truth to be told, I really am bothered about it. Kyrie and I didn't become a married couple for a good reason, but still... I'm his wife. I'm married to him. We're married. I-I think I deserve a little respect? But... what's the respect for, right? I mean, they didn't do anything worse so I guess it's fine for us to live with women who are in love with him, yeah? I cleared my throat and sat down in the chair."L-Let's start with the flower vase, okay?" Fia nodded at me. "Oh, I badly want to get rid of those colorful flower vases now. And the flower arrangements. I mean, who would do such a design? Just look at how messy it looks right now. The organizer paired them by height and they're in mixed colors now! I didn't know that Kyrie would be capable of liv
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."Where are you going?" I turned around and looked at Kyrie."Work.." I simply told him and he just raised his brows on me. "Aren't you... sore?" He asked before he got up from the bed, completely n*ked as he stood next to me.To be honest, I am. But I need to go to work. My coworkers would definitely be suspicious of me if I don't go to work today and they'll definitely hate me. It's been already days since I got hired and now I'm taking a break. That's definitely something that they will find unfair for the other starters."I'll go now," I told him, diverting the topic from his question.I saw when Kyrie's eyes darkened, but I didn't mind him anymore and I just walked out of the room. When I went downstairs, I saw Fia talking to someone over the phone when she noticed me coming. She immediately set aside the phone before she looked at me. "Good morning, Mrs. Menzel. Going to work now?" She asked with a smile on her face.I nodded at her, "Yeah. I won't h
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."Oh, my gosh! She's back!" I heard whispers around me but I couldn't pay them any attention."Kyrie, come on.. I'm so hungry!" Her voice sounded so angelic and her smile was sweet enough for anyone to resist it.But why... Is she with Kyrie?Kyrie looked at her before he smiled. "We just had breakfast and now you're hungry again.." He shakes his head in amusement. "When will you change that attitude?""Tsk! You know I'd been like this since we were kids!" She rolled her eyes as they started walking. Even though she is trying to be on her bad side, she still looks perfect enough that not only Kyrie is so fond of her right now, but he also managed to have everyone's attention and amusement for her.They both stop from walking when they reach my direction. The woman looked at me with a confused look in her eyes, but she was still smiling."Ah, excuse me, Miss?" She asked me, her smile never fades away. I didn't answer her and just looked at the two of them. Sh
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V.My heart's pounding fast as I look around my supervisor's office while trying to avoid his gaze. We've been here for some time now!"So..." He started. "You're really married to Mr. Menzel?"I let out a deep sigh before I decided to look him in the eyes."You already know the answer to that. Why still ask?" I furrowed my brows at him. Although he already knew, he still gave me a surprise look."Like for real?!" I just look him in the eyes. "Then, why... Are you acting or working as his employee instead of---""Mr. Russo.." I cut him off. "I see no reason to explain anything to you about my relationship with my husband, nor do I have any obligation to you to do that.""A-Ah.." Xander scratches his nape. "Y-Yeah, you're right, Ms. Wrights---I mean, Mrs. Menzel.."I just raised my brows on him before I stood up and started walking to the door."A-Allow me to open the door for you!" He immediately rushed to open the door for me. I nodded at him, but before I
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V.Looks like Xander has finally processed that I am indeed Kyrie's wife but still an employee lower to him. And that amazes me. I thought at first that he would make a fuss about it and will try his best to be on my best side so he can benefit from it."Yes, sir." I answered him before I opened my laptop to take some notes. Our meeting did last for two hours. Mostly, every new idea came from Marielle. It was indeed obvious that she's good in this field, her attitude is just something I can't deal with.Tired enough to handle more for this day, I got up and went to leave the company's laptop on my desk. This laptop was provided by Kyrie, but unlike to every employees, I can't bring it home with me and everything inside is being monitored by Kyrie. After making sure that everything is good on my table, I took my bag and went out of the building with Mila. Just like me, she looks so drained too that none of us even started a conversation."Bye, Nathalie." Mila
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."I'm glad to see you, Nathalie..." Mia never let go of me again ever since we met. "I miss you so much!"I glanced in Kyrie's direction and saw him on the balcony, still looking at us while drinking his coffee."I miss you too, Mia.." I avoided my gaze at him and just hugged my cousin. "I miss Uncle, Aunt Maury, and Kai too." I felt when a trump on my throat threatened me that I'm about to cry. "I miss you all so much!"Mia looked at my face and caressed my cheeks. "Look at you.. You look so tired, Nathalie. Is Kyrie not taking good care of you?"How can I not look tired when Kyrie wouldn't miss a night without doing anything with me? I just smiled at Mia before I held her hands."I'm just busy with work these days..""Work? You're Kyrie's wife now and you still work?" Mia's voice sounded surprised."Of course. You knew that we didn't get to marry out of love, right?" I took a quick glance at Kyrie again but his eyes are still locked on mine.Is he really g
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
