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
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."Let go of me, Roxy!" I hissed at her when she pulled my hair.D*mn it! I just had the other employees pulling my hair yesterday and now she's doing it to me! F*ck, my head is spinning now!"Ms. Wrights!" I heard Lyam's voice calling me before I felt a masculine hand, pulling Roxy's hands away from me to let go of my hair."Let go, Roxy!" I told her and finally, after shaking my head wildly while pulling my hair, Lyam managed to take her away from me. I looked at Roxy in anger even though my vision was spinning. "What the hell is your problem?!"My scalp is still hurting from yesterday and it tripled the pain today!"You! How dare you do that to Kyrie?!" Her voice was full of hatred while pointing her index finger at me. "You seduce him even though you're already married to someone else! Why? Can't you be content having one man in your life?" She insultingly laughed at me. "Or maybe you married a broke man and wanted to have a taste of a wealthy one, huh?!"
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V."You're early today, Mr. and Mrs. Menzel," Fia said with confusion in her eyes. "I thought you'll be home late.""Fia, can you bring some ice packs to my room, please?" I asked before I walked past them. "Love, careful----""Don't touch me." I told Kyrie, emphasizing my words.Kyrie stop from trying to touch me and I take the chance to go to my room. I do still feel a bit dizzy, but I need to work on the project for this house. At least, I'll do that to pass my time. When dinner came, I heard someone knocking on the door. I was busy sketching the ideas that I have so I didn't answer who it was, but the person's persistent.While sighing, I took a deep breath and opened the door. It was Mattia."Good evening, Mrs. Menzel." He greeted me before showing a paper bag to me. "Mr. Menzel wants you to wear this for dinner tonight. He said that you need to be there as soon as possible."I looked at Mattia's hand and the paper bag that he's showing me. "Tell Kyri
Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V.When we arrived at his company, I waited for Logan and Lyam to get out of the car, but it seemed that they're waiting for us too. Logan looked at me through the rearview mirror and I gave him a deadpan look. He sighed and got out of the car, Lyam soon followed him."Care to explain, Kyrie?" I didn't wait for any time to pass by and I immediately asked my husband.Kyrie didn't answer me, but I heard him sighing and saw him looking outside the window. I shake my head because I knew at that moment that he wouldn't answer me. I opened the door beside me to get out of the car without saying anything to him.The moment I entered the building, I stopped in the lounge area when I saw all the investors, board members, department heads' and managers in the entrance of the building. All in their formal attire and looking at me. I heard when the door behind me opened and Kyrie stepped out of the car. He stood beside me and held my hand while I looked at him with confus
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
