Nathalie's P. O. V.“Eat slowly, love.” Kyrie whispered to me before he placed the spoon in front of my mouth, trying to feed me. “Come on. This is a soup, it won’t hurt you, and you won’t even need to bite.”I carefully shake my head at Kyrie before I lay back down to bed. I’m not really feeling well, to the point that I can’t speak, eat, or move a lot.My body is aching all over. In one single move, my bruises are already hurting me a lot. I feel sorry for my husband. He’s been doing his best to try to feed me and take care of me, but I’m being stubborn and feeling too weak here. I know Kyrie is tired and restless ever since he sent me to this hospital, but I never heard anything from me. My husband never complained and he’s been very understanding of my situation.I heard when Kyrie took a deep breath before I saw him moving the table on the side of my bed. He sat down in front of me, as he looked at me with mixed emotions in his eyes.Kyrie raised his hand and started caressing m
Nathalie’s P. O. V.“Ah… It’s getting late,” I swallowed the food in my mouth before I looked at Dione. She was looking at my uncle. “Don’t you think it’s time to go home so Nathalie and Kyrie can rest?”“Love…” I heard Kyrie calling me so I glanced at him. He was holding a spoon and waiting for me to open my mouth.I raised my brows at him, “I told you I can eat on my own. You don’t have to feed me.”“Tsk!” He clicked his tongue and bit his bottom lip. “Please? Let me feed you, hmm?”My eyes immediately went down to his lips. It was wet because of the orange juice that he drank and it was even redder than mine. Before I could even realize that I was drooling over his lips, I already saw Kyrie grinning at me like a boastful husband.I felt my cheeks burning in embarrassment before I quickly look away from him, but the moment I did that, I creased my forehead when I saw my uncle on the veranda, and beside him were Aunt Maury and Dione.They were talking seriously and I can see that unc
Nathalie’s P. O. V.“Wasn’t I enough for you before?” Kyrie’s voice slightly broke after asking his questions that I think he had listed since I left him before. “Did I do something wrong? Did I hurt you in any way before? Or is it because the life that I gave you before is not what you want to have? Nathalie, you know I’d do anything for you and I’ll give everything you’ll ask me---”“Kyrie, no!” I shook my head before I closed my eyes firmly. “N-No, it wasn’t you.” I looked up at him and cupped his face with my own hands. “You were never the problem, Kyrie… I was just too scared before, but please, don’t ask me yet.”“What do you mean?”“I’ll tell you everything, just give me some time for now, please?” I asked before I stood up and sat on his legs. I wrapped my hands around his neck and looked at him closely. “Please, love. I’m not ready yet.”Kyrie looked into my eyes directly before he slowly nodded, “Take your time, but I will wait.”’I gently smiled at him as I nodded before I
Nathalie’s P. O. V.“Do you want more tea, Mrs. Menzel?” I heard Fia asking beside me.I didn’t bother to look at her and I just nodded my head. I looked at my hands and started caressing the bracelet that I’m wearing.“I am not in the right position to ask this, but are you still thinking about the marriage that Mr. Devi asked your husband, Mrs. Menzel?” Shocked by what I heard, I looked at her side with confusion in my eyes.“How did you know about that?” I asked while creasing my forehead as I waited for her answer.“I heard Mr. Devi and Ms. Roxy talking about that before I brought you to them earlier. He was confident that Mr. Menzel would agree because he and his daughter had known each other since before, and her mother is also his company’s top investor,” Fia tightly smiled at me as I looked down at my hands again. “I’ve known Mr. Devi since before, and based on my observation, he would do everything just to save his precious and beloved child. It had become his habit to take
Nathalie’s P. O. V.“I know that you’re busy, Kyrie, but my point is you should’ve informed me before you leave and not just assumed that I’m already sleeping, or even if I’m asleep, you could’ve waked me up instead!” I couldn’t help raising my voice at him before I put the phone on the loudspeaker. “What if something happened to you while you’re driving last night? I wouldn’t know and all I’ll be informed is that you’re in your office and working yourself out!”I heard Kyrie sighing before I saw him massaging the bridge of his nose. He’s still in his office and just got over with a business meeting. He explained to me that he was in a hurry last night because of a business deal from a client abroad and Roxy accepted the contract with his mother and Kyrie’s father’s signature, leaving him no need to sign the contract.I kind of feel off about this matter. As from what I’ve heard from everyone, Roxy is always on Kyrie’s side, so for her to turn her back on Kyrie and even ask for suppor
Nathalie’s P. O. V.“We will use the back exit, Mrs. Menzel. There are no reporters in that area,” Lyam told me before he started the car and drove off.I nodded at him before I looked outside the car. I even saw in the mirror that Mattia was running towards us with the security following behind him even until we reached the back gates and managed to go out with no problem.It was a good thing that I had convinced Lyam to bring me outside, even though he really disliked the idea and it could make him lose his job. Logan told me that Kyrie left his phone in his office to attend a meeting so I instructed him to never inform Kyrie if anyone in the house would call to inform him about what I did. Though I know that he’ll still be informed once he managed to get home first before me, but at least I made it to have Logan’s help here, with a month of vacation as a bribe, of course.It’s already five in the afternoon and I made sure first that Kyrie managed to eat his lunch before I did this
Nathalie’s P. O. V.I know that having a huge amount of wealth to be registered under your name is exciting for others. To be honest, being wealthy is the most important thing for everyone to achieve, at least, that’s what they believe.But if my father is doing this to let me know that he’s feeling sorry for everything he did to me before, no, I am not and will never accept it. In fact, his blood and name are already enough for me to be in pain whenever I would be reminded that I am his daughter. And if he thinks that time has already healed me, then he’s wrong. Because I was never healed.I rejected and refused to sign the papers for my inheritance. Attorney Brent tried hard to convince me to sign everything already so I can start working for my family’s company, but no, he doesn’t understand and will never do.I don’t want anything else from them. My grandfather might be a b*stard for having another woman when he was still alive, but I am thankful that my uncle accepted me like his
Nathalie’s P. O. V. I was naked under the comforter that Kyrie and I are sharing. I can feel him hugging me from my back with his left hand cupped in my chest. Kyrie’s already sleeping peacefully beside me as his right leg wrapped on mine. I tried to move and remove his hold on me, but I stopped when Kyrie groaned and tightened his hug on me. I turned around and saw him still sleeping, his hand unconsciously went to the back of my head as he pulled me closer in his arm. I smiled because of that, but out of nowhere, I suddenly remembered Attorney Brent’s email to me just this evening. He said that the boards are getting impatient now since they still haven’t heard anything from me. Attorney Brent is pushing me harder to sign the legal documents now because apparently, my grandmother’s cousin is having an interest in WGC and wanted to own everything herself, although she couldn’t succeed because everyone from the board is aware that my grandmother has me as her heiress. The stockho
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
