Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."Let go of me, will you?!" I tried to break Marielle's hold on me, but I failed after her friends helped her to hold me too. Mila is just in the corner, being surrounded by our other women colleagues. It's obvious that she's scared right now and wouldn't dare to fight back, but from time to time, she would take a quick glance at me with pity and worry in her eyes."What the hell do you want, Marielle?" I asked her with an irritated look in my eyes before I tried to push their hands away from me. "Stop holding me!"Marielle laughed at me before she motioned to her friends to let her go. How come they're following her? They're all employees here with the same level!"I don't like you running your mouth like that about Roxy.." She clicked her tongue with disgust in her eyes as she looked at me. "And you even dare to hurt her, huh?!"I release a deep sigh while looking at them. "Look, I don't know why you're doing this crazy stuff, but I'm telling you that I
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V.I looked away from Kyrie when I slowly understood what he meant. "Are you taking her side?" I asked while feeling bitter inside me. "I'm clarifying the truth here, love." Kyrie reached out to hold my chin and made me look at his face. "And I was at fault too..""You really are. You're actually the main reason for all this!" I glared at Kyrie. "But it's okay that I didn't apologize to her, at least, we're even now." "Love---""No, Kyrie!" I stopped him. "I will not apologize to her, unless she genuinely apologizes to me first. It may sound childish, but I'm tired of apologizing unfairly now." I stood up from sitting before I walked towards the door. "I want to sleep now.""Stay with me tonight, Nathalie." I heard Kyrie say it but I didn't mind him anymore and just continued to leave his room.I even saw Fia from the third floor as she gave instructions for the other maids of what they should do next. I just didn't disturb them anymore and went straight t
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."So..." Mila looks at me in the eye while her mouth almost turns into an O-shape. "You're the new company secretary now?"She sounded so happy for me, unlike the others who are secretly glaring at me while having their lunch. Can't blame them though, they'd been here for years while I'm a newcomer. I shrugged off my attention from them and focused on myself."Yes.." I smiled at her before taking a sip from my juice."That's amazing!" Mila clapped her hands while looking at me before she clung her arms on me. "We should celebrate! You're the fastest employee to have a high promotion like that, Nathalie! That's an achievement.."Achievement? I stop myself from sneering. 'No, Mila. I had the position because my husband wanted me to be there, not because I work harder to have the position.' Funny. I can already imagine Marielle throwing a tantrum on me."I'm not sure, Mila.." Because Kyrie might not let me go."Why not?""Well, as you know, I just got promoted
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."B*tch, why would I be jealous of you?!" Roxy came forward to me and I didn't even move to avoid her. I can feel her anger and I know that she'll explode anytime by now."Because this b*tch that you're pertaining to, is much closer to Mr. Menzel than you?" Her eyes burned in anger even more. "You!" Roxy pulled my hair and I stood up to stop her."Ms. Roxy, please, stop!" I shouted, and I know that because of how loud my voice is, Kyrie would hear me from the conference room. "Ms. Roxy, please..." True to what I expected, Kyrie really did come out of the conference room and pulled Roxy away from me. He looked at us with his cold and emotionless eyes before he finally spoke."Roxy, stop it!" He shouted at her and turned around to face me. "Are you okay, Nathalie?"I avoided my gaze at him and I heard him sigh because of that. 'Just drop the act, Kyrie. I know that you don't care much for me.'"Ms. Roxy, what you did was wrong. Why did you have to hurt Ms.
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V.That night, Kyrie and I had some time for each other, as if we're a couple that has no problem to face. But all of it only stayed there, because the next morning, I found out that Kyrie took back his decision to remove Roxy's access to enter his company.Yes, his words didn't take long for him to break."But why?" I asked Logan while watching Kyrie and Roxy discussing something about their meeting.I can feel a growing emotion in my chest as I watch them sitting together. I just don't want to entertain it much because at work and I need to be professional, otherwise, Kyrie might embarrass me, again, in front of everyone."Roxy is the illegitimate daughter of Ms. Cole, one of the Menzel's Empire's top investors. She recently made Roxy to be her representative." Logan simply said before he took note on his pad.Illegitimate child?"Was Ms. Cole pregnant at a young age?" I was curious when I asked him."No. She was married before when she had Roxy," Logan expl
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."What do you want to eat?" Kyrie asked when we sat down and one of the cafeteria staff approached us.I feel a bit strange and uncomfortable for some reason. I looked at the menu today and decided on my order."I want some panzanella, spaghetti and meatballs." I told Kyrie after looking at the menu."You heard what she said. We'll have two orders of that," Kyrie didn't even look at the staff when he said his order and just focused his eyes on me. I raised my brows. "Are you sure you're good with that? We didn't have breakfast this morning."I nodded at Kyrie and just smiled at him before I roamed my eyes around the cafeteria."W-We're attracting lots of attention, Kyrie. Is it really okay for us to eat together?" I asked as I looked down to my hands.It should be normal, but I really feel different right now."For someone who's married to me, you're really gonna ask that?" Kyrie shakes his head while crossing his arms on his chest. "Get used to it, Love. An
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V.I saw when the clock strikes midnight. I know that behind me, Kyrie is still awake and just watching me. I knew that he knows too that I'm still awake, but I wouldn't dare to look at his side.He'd been asking me about what happened, but I didn't tell him anything, more like I hadn't talked to him yet since then.When Logan brought me to the hospital, Kyrie only came when the doctors were done treating me. I had a lot of scratch wounds to my arms and cheeks, even my neck had two long scratches. Logan told me that Kyrie didn't know when it happened, and he only informed him when I was already treated. But even if he already told me that, I just can't bring myself to believe him. I hate him. I hate that he wasn't there to protect so my mind's assuming and believing things I shouldn't.The powder room wasn't far from the cafeteria, but Kyrie didn't notice anything that was happening because he's with Roxy. I heard from Logan that Roxy came as soon as I entere
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."YOU SURE YOU'RE going to work today?" Logan asked while tilting his head as he looked at me. "Shouldn't you stay here and rest?"I released a deep sigh and looked at him boredly, "Should I say yes again? Was my first yes not enough?" I rolled my eyes at him."It's a bit surprising how you convince Mr. Menzel to allow you to go to work today despite what happened yesterday." Logan shrugged his shoulders at me."Convince? No, I didn't convince him. I didn't even tell him that I'm going to work today, he just found out when he woke up and I was already dressed up and ready. He didn't say anything though, why would he anyway?" I sarcastically chuckled before I walked past him and entered the car.And why would I need to convince him anyway? It's not like he actually cares for me.When Logan enters the car, Kyrie soon follows him with a butler who sits next to Logan in the passenger seat. I didn't ask anymore of why he's here and just pay my own business.While
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
