Oblivious of what was going on, the two of them were at the back of the car while bunny kept driving around. Audrey couldn’t lie, this was the most beautiful Island she has ever seen and it was so detailed. Billions of dollars were spent on making this island look as beautiful as it is and it was worth it.“You seem to enjoy your tour” Nathan’s voice filtered into her ears and she turned to him with a huge smile on his face.“Of course Nathan, this is very beautiful”“I actually wanted to bring you here after we got engaged like this was supposed to be your engagement gift but it was not possible” the pain he felt was much worse than he could even comprehend, he was just thirty and he was already suffering so much.Audrey couldn’t believe her ears, this was her sister’s engagement gift? What more did this man have installed for Vanessa and how rich was he to even own a private island?“Isn’t this too much for an engagement gift?” She had to ask and the man nodded in the negative.“Com
The moment she heard the door unlock, Louisa rushed over and heaved a sigh when she saw it was Nathan and Audrey, the time was already past eight before they came back home and she was worried sick. Ever since Nathan came to rice island, this was the first time he had gone out to get some air and it was because of the girl beside him.Louisa didn’t know if it was a good or bad thing but she sure didn’t like it.“Hey, I was getting worried about you Nathan” she Made her way to where Audrey was standing and gently gestured her to move, “why didn’t you call that you will be staying out late?”“I was with Nessa and bunny mum, what could have gone wrong?”“Have you had dinner yet? I made your favorite”“I am full mum” he answered with an eye roll, “can you just stop acting like this? I can take care of myself, okay?”“Sure?” Louisa gave a little smile before turning to Audrey, “Let's have a little conversation, okay?”“Sure ma’am”Nathan didn’t even have the energy to exchange words with
Audrey slowly opened her eyes and had to shield her face from the morning sun while yawning lightly. The incident of the night before became fresh in her memory and she could feel the color creeping up on her face. The two of them kissed for a while but before they could go the extra mile, she stopped him. The thought of Vanessa finding out that her sister made out with her man kept tormenting her and she stopped herself because she could get lost in the bliss of the moment.“Ughhh” Audrey sighed and tried to get rid of the image from her head but it was not possible, Nathan’s face continued to linger in her memories. Maybe doing something to distract herself could help.With that she quickly washed up and made her way downstairs, luckily Mrs Hernandez just left and Nathan was seated alone in the living room, he was on a call and it looked serious.“Good morning sir” shs walked over to the butler and greeted him, the man returned her gesture with a bow and a smile.“How may I help yo
Ths tense atmosphere in the room made her flinch a little before moving towards him. The saying that a loving man was the meanest when angry was true. Nathan looked so angry and she was left contemplating if she should go forward or not.“The madam is here, sir” Bunny whispered to him and Nathan finally turned his attention to the door but he didn’t have any expression on his face, it was like he didn’t even want her to be there.“You can go bunny” Nathan ordered and he bowed before leaving the room.“I brought you some cookies Nathan, want some?” Audrey asked with an awkward look.“No, I am busy with work. You can enjoy on your own”His voice was devoid of any emotion and Audrey felt bad for even saying she could draw, she was creating more obstacles for her sister and that was not her goal. It was a slip of the tongue and now….“I am sorry Nathan” she dropped the tray of cookies on the table and walked over to him, “I am sorry i didn’t tell you because I felt it was insignificant, i
“Hey baby” Nathan placed a kiss on her forehead before taking his seat beside her while Audrey returned his kiss with a nod even if she knew he was not seeing her. This was a day after their squabble and luckily everything was already settled. She was watching her favorite cartoon while he just laid on the couch and placed his head on her thighs.“What are you watching?”“Paw patrol” Audrey answered without removing her eyes from the screen and the man’s eyes opened wide.“You said what?” Nathan wanted to believe he heard her correctly.This time around, Audrey turned her eyes away from the television and looked at him.“Paw patrol, didn’t you hear me?”Nathan jumped up from her thighs with a bizarre look on his face, “like the cartoon show?”“Hm” she nodded, “that’s like my favorite”“But you love serial killers documentaries”She cringed at the mention of that, yes she knew Vanessa loved serial documentaries but Audrey had never found it entertaining. Like how would a normal perso
“Nice meeting you, Mrs Hernandez” the ceo of Dior stretched out his hand for a shake but the woman ignored him and placed her limited edition bag on the table before taking her seat. Avanti was boldly designed on the bag and she was here to show class and poise. This was a power of supremacy and power, the art of who was first in the game.“We should get to the point, Nathan can not be here today and we can’t postpone the meeting because of his absence” Mrs Hernandez began to say, “I believe you already know why I wanted to meet you, Mr Delphine?”The old man chuckled lightly as he leaned back on the chair, “I heard the chairwoman of Avanti is rude but i didn’t think i would be experiencing it first hand”“What do you mean?” The old lady raised an eyebrow, “did you have someone do a check on me?”“Why don’t we go to business Mrs Hernandez? For all I know, the ceo of Avanti can not be here today and I will have to deal with you, should I call you the brand face? You all hide him like h
The door pushed open and Bruno entered looking all flustered, Mrs Hernandez who was busy on her laptop turned her attention to him and her forehead creased into a frown when she saw the look on his face.“Why did you barge into my office like that, Bruno?” She asked and Bruno hesitated for a while.“It seems you have not heard the news ma’am?”“What?”Mrs Hernandez picked up the remote and turned on her television, rhe news was still being broadcasted and her eyes darkened when she read through it.“What nonsense?” She bellowed, “why will he go ahead to come on the news when we haven’t even finished discussing this yet?”“The boss already knows ma’am” Bruno added.“What?how and….” Her voice trailed off when she picked up her phone and discovered that Nathan has been calling her for a while now,“Did you get to talk to him?”“Yes ma’am, he was angry but then he decided to change the whole exhibition. He told me to push the date forward, after Dior’s exhibition and we are going with the
It was a sunny Monday morning when Mrs Hernandez sauntered into the office, dressed in a pair of flay white pants and a black button up shirt to match. Her aura and her charisma could not be ignored and her hair was pulled back in a high ponytail. It was difficult to believe that the woman standing was already in her fifties and had already given birth to a thirty year old son.Being born into affluence and opulence, she had everything at her disposal and now luxury was something that lived with her family.“Good morning ma’am” , some of the workers greeted but she totally ignored them as her assistant collected her bag and led her into her office.Her coffee was sitting beautifully on the table and Bruno was standing by the side with a document in his hand.“Good morning ma’am” he bowed respectfully and the lady nodded towards him before taking her space on her chair.Louisa turned to her assistant and plastered a smile on her face,“What is my schedule today?”“You have a meeting wi
The door to his office pushed open and she gently sauntered into the room. Xavier, who was busy with a document, immediately turned his attention to her and stood up. He didn’t flash her any smile as usual but part of him was happy to have her back.“Hey, you”“Aren’t you excited to see me?” Bianca asked him, her face also expressionless.“You are finally here” Xavier forced himself to say, “i actually thought you might not come back but here you are”“Are you upset?” Bianca couldn’t help but ask him as he came face to face with her, “why…“Why?” Xavier flared up while raking his hand through his hair, “how can you casually walk into my office and ask if I am upset B? Of course I am” he paused for a moment, his eyes not leaving hers for even a second,“ I am upset and it's all your fault. How could you just discard me after being with Nathan? Do I mean nothing to you at all?“I said we were going to talk about it when I get back, right?” She inquired, “and I am sorry okay? I was just v
Audrey was all set and ready to leave, she was just giving the finishing touches to her hair when her door pushed open and her aunt sauntered into the room with a smile on her face.“I can see you are all ready to leave?” She asked Bianca while lowering herself on the bed.“Yes aunt” she replied, “fashion week starts next week, I have to put the finishing touches to things”“Well” aunt Aurora shrugged, “your flight leaves in an hour, I was hoping you could spare me a few minutes. I want to discuss something with you, child”A small frown appeared on Bianca’s forehead, now she was wondering what her aunt wanted to talk about.“Of course aunt” she walked over to the bed and gently perched on it, “I am all ears”Aunt Aurora heaved a sigh before turning her full attention to Bianca, a look of pain and sadness looming in her eyes.“My dear” she began almost immediately, “don’t you think it is high time you forgive Nathan for what he did to you?”The frown on Bianca’s face intensified and s
The moment Nathan’s car came to a halt in front of the building, he immediately unbuttoned his suit before making his way towards the reception.This was one of the biggest hotels in New York and he was wondering why his blackmailer asked him to be here. Wasn’t this too exquisite?“Hello sir” the receptionist flashed him a smile, “welcome to sugar”“I am here to see Mr Stefan,” he answered.“One second” the lady muttered and began to type away on her system. After a few seconds, she looked up at him again with a smile on her lips.“Yes, he is expecting you. He is by the poolside”With one last nod, he made his way towards the pool and only one man was seated under a nice shade. Nathan knew he was the caller and didn’t waste time in walking toward him but he was immediately stopped by his guards, a gesture that made his forehead crease into a frown.“Let him go,” Stefan said from where he was seated.Rolling his eyes, the big boss walked up to him and he didn’t even bother to hide the
Dressed in a pair of blue tailored suit, Nathan pulled his hair into a neat bun before making his way out of the room. It was a weekend and everyone was at home, including audrey. It was already an hour to his flight, he didn’t want to miss it. As much as he wanted to stay with Paige, he knew Esperanza also needed him.So with that at the back of his head, he heaved a sigh before walking up to Paige who looked like she was about to cry.“Are you really leaving?” Even if she was just a child, Paige had come to love Nathan more than anything in the world. She was not aware of her relationship with him yet but despite that, she loved him more than the world,“I thought you said you wanted to stay with me”Nathan gently cupped her tiny hands in his own hands and pressed a kiss on her forehead, he felt like a groom leaving his wife behind at the wedding alter,“I have to leave, princess” he said after a while, “something urgent came up and I have to go okay?”“But can I come with you?” Tea
It was already past eight in the night when a soft knock resonated on the door of the room and Bianca gently opened her eyes before making her way to the door and when she saw who it was, her countenance changed. What the heck was he doing so late at night? Wasn’t he tired? Her head was throbbing and she just wanted to go back to bed.“Why are you here, Nathan?” She asked him from the door, not bothering to even invite him into the room, “it is already so late and you are here?”“Can we talk?” The big boss questioned, his voice bland and without any emotions, “I can not sleep and I think we should talk”Bianca rolled her eyes to the back of her head and glanced into the room. Her daughter was sleeping peacefully on the bed and she didn’t want to wake her up.“What exactly do you want to talk about Nathan?” She akdes again, “we have been talking without any new words, I am really not In the mood to talk to you”“We can either talk here in our daughter’s presence or away from her hearin
Xavier gulped at her question and he raked his hand through his hair. He was definitely not expecting what she had just said.He raked his hand through his hair as he stood up from his reclining chair and walked up to the large window that served as a wall in his office.“What are you saying, Bianca?” He was completely lost for words.“You like me, don’t you?” She asked from the other end, “I think we should get married, what do you think?“Why are you suddenly saying all this, B?” He couldn’t help but ask, “did Nathan do something? Are you okay? Should I come over?” She heaved a sigh from the other end and he realized she was just stressed out. His heart broke for a split second, he actually thought she meant it but she wanted to use him to get away from Nathan again. The mere thought of him annoyed me to the core of my being.“You know what?” Bianca began to talk again, “it was a mistake” not bothering to wait for his response, she ended the call while Xavier balled his hand into a
Dressed in a pair of black flay pants and a crisp white shirt neatly tucked into her pants, Louisa made her way into the vip room and she was not surprised to see him standing near the window looking as dashing as always.This was the first man she ever fell in love with and even if she knew that nothing was ever going to happen between them again, she was quite aware that Stefan was always ready to do anything for her. Anything at all.With that at the back of her head, she pressed towards him with an expressionless look hovering over her face.When Stefan heard her walk into the room, he immediately turned to her and for a moment he was tongue tied. This was the woman he had not seen face to face for years and she still looked stunning, how he wished.“I thought you were not going to come” he said while taking slow steps towards her“And here I am”Louisa answered, “we should get straight to business”After talking, she slowly lowered herself on the chair in the room while crossing o
A tall looking man was seated on a reclining chair, a cigarette protruding from his mouth while a glass of whiskey is seated beside him.He is well built with his muscles peeking out of his crisp white shirt while his bare chest had a lot of visible tattoos.His door pushed open and another man sauntered into the room before bowing lightly.“Boss” he greeted, “you sent for me”“I have a job for you, Augusto” he turned his attention to the man who had just entered the room.“I am at your service boss” Augusto answered, “just give the order”“Louisa called,” the man announced again and Augusto's forehead creased into a slight frown when he heard the name. This was a name he had not heard for years and suddenly she was back into their lives? How was that even possible! How did she even get Stefan’s number again?“You are surprised right?” Stefan inquired, “I can see the look on your face” he puffed smoke out of his mouth again.“I have not heard her name for years now boss” Augusto respo
It was already past seven in the evening when Nathan made his way downstairs from his daughter’s room. After having an argument with Bianca, he decided to book a hotel for the night and moreover he didn’t want to stay in a house full of women.“Where are you going?” Aunt Aurora, who was seated in the living room, asked him, “I cleaned up the guest room for you,” she added.“Thank you aunty but I have already booked a hotel, I will come back tomorrow to check on her”“Did you tell Bianca you were leaving?”He shrugged as a painful smile appeared on his face,“She wouldn’t care, thank you so much for taking care of my daughter. I really appreciate”“I am doing it for my niece and not you, Nathan” she told him and he nodded at her.“I will take my leave now”Aunt Aurora didn’t bother to stop him, she knew he was going through a lot too. It was not easy for him just as it was not easy for Bianca.“Wait” a voice called out to him and he halted, Bianca was coming down from the stairs and s
