All Chapters of Nathaniel Lachlan: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Victoria FoxI was lost in my thoughts when I heard the doorbell ring. I quickly turned off the oven before the cookies started burning. I was baking cookies for my close friend, who I guess is now my fiance, we were going to celebrate Christmas together.He was there for me when I was at the lowest point in my life, we gradually started dating. Even though I never felt sparks with him, I was comfortable, knowing that he wouldn’t hurt me. I was surprised when he proposed last week. I wasn’t in love with him but I knew I had no energy to fall in love again. It happened once and destroyed me completely.I headed towards the door while wiping off some flour from my cheek. As soon as I opened my door I locked eyes with my husband, who I thought was the love of my life while he looked at me as a sheer business deal.It tore me apart because I knew we will never happen, but it broke me when I saw that he didn’t even try, as he was all I ever wanted.Victo

Victoria FoxI wake up in an unfamiliar environment, okay wait, this is not my room. That’s when all the memories come crashing down which makes me groan in frustration. Aaron did let me text Ben that I had a work emergency so I had to bail on him but I’ll see him tomorrow, he had the nerve to laugh at my face and tell me he is not letting me go anywhere.Later, we got into a pretty huge fight which made me so angry that I locked up all the bedrooms in the house, including his where I slept, forcing him to crash on the living room couch.I quickly got out of my bed and realized it was the same room I wept my eyes out five years ago, when he left me. It was very unsettling for me to be here. I brushed my teeth and headed downstairs to confront Aaron and leave once and for all.As I headed downstairs, I saw Aaron stretching his arms as he woke up, SHIRTLESS!! He winced a little before standing up, his back is probably hurting. I tried to look anywhere other tha

Victoria Fox“What the hell were you thinking? You just grab me and kiss me?” I asked, fuming, as we entered his house after the long day at his grandparents’ house.“Yes, it was a bad idea but it worked, right?” He asked more like stated. It did work, Mary completely stopped asking questions after she caught us and was also a bit awkward around us. I was happy that now Joseph wouldn’t find out but kissing him was wrong, and-Oh my god! I cheated on Benjamin. I kissed him back, not only that, I even shamelessly enjoyed it.I am a bitch.“Aaron, you have to let me out of this house! This can never work! You can’t lock me in here forever. This act that you have been putting on for years about not feeling anything, being a stone-hearted person is not going to work on me. I can see right through you!” I yelled at him and he just looked at me, analyzing me, like he was trying to understand something.“I am sorry, you can go to your restaurant to work,

Victoria FoxAs I was getting ready for the ball today, I realized how truly nervous I was. I was going to meet Katrine after 6 whole years. I don’t know what I am going to do but I know I have to protect Aaron from her. She is a monster and what she did to him was unacceptable.After the mind-numbingly pleasurable encounter with Aaron, I didn’t know what to do. I don’t remember how long I stayed lying there in the kitchen as I felt like all my brain cells were dead.When I did leave the kitchen, Aaron was actually setting up the couch to sleep on it. He told me that tomorrow he’ll get one of the guest rooms cleaned out where he will sleep till I am ready to share a bed with him. I didn’t say anything to him but I was actually very happy, the couch was not at all comfortable. My back still hurts.He was being unbearably sweet towards me, almost like he was trying to woo me which made my plan so much more difficult. I know Aaron suffered a lot due to his manip

Aaron RiverwoodAs I left the office, I couldn’t get over Aaron’s words. They kept playing repeatedly in my mind. Benjamin was the only man I trusted with all of my secrets. He was always so sweet and nice. A complete opposite of the devil disguised in the skin of Adonis.‘Benjamin is a liar.’I didn’t know what to do, I had to talk to Benjamin, to prove that Aaron has a misunderstanding. The only reason I actually broke up with Ben was because I knew around Aaron I can’t trust myself. I’ll end up hurting him inconceivably by cheating on him and also keeping him on a backseat till I get rid of this entire situation is just immoral.Benjamin immediately agreed to meet me near the café around Aaron’s house. I felt bad that maybe I gave him some hope of getting back together but I think I should make things clear once in for all and also maybe examine some facts about Ben that Aaron pointed out.“Hi, how’d you get here so fast?” I asked Be
