CHAPTER 111: MISSING

NATASHAA week passed in a blur, yet I haven't heard anything from Michael, not even a whisper.The news said nothing at all, leaving us blind and deaf to any updates.The day before he left, he promised me that he would return no matter what.But where is he now?Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, I noticed my sudden weight loss. My skin was pale, and my face looked as if I had taken drugs.My eyes were a mix of emotions, and my lips couldn't even curve into a smile.I never knew I'd experience something as awful as this.Longing for his warmth, yearning to hear his voice. I miss him.In my hand, the container of my birth control pills.I haven't taken the rest of them since I can't remember when. But the change in my mood, my sensitivity, I'm not foolish enough not to notice how I've become noticeably sensitive.The smell, the emotions. I've been becoming irritable and emotional.Letting out a heavy sigh, I stared back at myself and tried to force a smile."You have to get up

CHAPTER 112: SAFE

NATASHADark visions clouded my mind, causing dizziness and immobilizing me.My breathing became erratic as panic set in.Where am I?"She's awake," a man's deep voice uttered, increasing my tension.My eyes were covered, and my mouth was gagged. My hands were bound, and I was lost in darkness.How did I end up here?"Call the boss," the same man said, followed by faint footsteps and the sound of a creaking door.I could hear my heart pounding in my chest. I tried to move my hands, but instead, the friction of the rope burned my wrists.With shallow breaths, I tried to recall what had happened.The last thing I remember is leaving the house and going to the bar. I wanted to talk to my father, Quintus, hoping to find solace in someone who understood.Missing someone. Longing for someone.I remember drinking the milk he served me, and then everything went blank.What really happened?My shoulders tensed as the door burst open, as if someone wanted to break it down.The mix of expensive

CHAPTER 113: FAILING RESCUE

MICHAELAs soon as I landed, I knew that Frederick had fallen into his own trap. But what unsettled me was the knowledge that he had my wife with him."I'm really, really sorry, honey. I didn't know that this could happen," Mom apologized. She had been repeating her apologies since the moment she saw me.I couldn't offer any comfort because I was torn between my worry and the courage of getting her back.I asked Dad to calm her down, knowing that panicking wouldn't do her any good."Do you have any idea where she is?" Dad asked, and I shook my head."No, but I have someone who could help us," I answered, receiving a comforting pat on my shoulder from him. "I just hope that he won't do anything bad to her."That's what I was hoping for. Her safety. But damn this nervousness was killing me.I left to keep myself focused on this mission because when she's around, I can't focus on anything else but her. All I have in my mind was her smile, her body, her laughter, and her voice.I had to f

CHAPTER 114: FREEDOM

MICHAELNo...My eyes reflected the color of smoke and fire as I stared at the yacht. My whole body seemed to be paralyzed for a moment as my heart stopped, watching the debris fall in every direction.Detective Han pulled me behind the SUV to hide from the falling rubble.I couldn't look away, I didn't care if I burned my skin. I was willing to risk my life just to find my wife."No, Mr. Montero!" Detective Han tried to stop me from running towards the burning yacht."Natasha!" I shouted her name as I approached the dock but was pushed away by the heat. "Natasha!"Inhaling the black smoke spreading toxicity in the air, I coughed violently as I tried to get inside.I heard Detective Han calling for an ambulance and firetruck, but I couldn't wait for help. My wife needed me!Many survivors of the explosion jumped into the water to help the injured."Mr. Montero!" Detective Han came from behind me. I knew he was going to stop me from going in, but I jumped into the fire anyway.The yach

CHAPTER 115: SPECIAL PRESENT

NATASHAFive weeks had passed since the day when all the nightmares had ended.Everyone was not ready to open up to the world again, but Michael organized an event exclusively for certain guests and for a cause.Inside the bathroom, I was pacing back and forth as I waited for a minute.In a minute, I would know what kind of gift I would be presenting to Michael. His birthday wasn't until three months from now, but if... "if" it turned positive, I might have to give him a heads up."Okay..." I sighed, closing my eyes as I stood by the sink. "Whatever the result is, I have to embrace it and accept it," I spoke to myself before slowly opening my eyes to see what the test had to show me.One line...Two lines..."Oh my God," I quietly exclaimed.My hands flew to cover my mouth as I blinked multiple times to check if I was seeing it right."I'm really pregnant," I whispered and placed the pregnancy test back on the sink and checked myself in front of the mirror.Ever since Michael came bac

CHAPTER 116: ON ONE KNEE

MICHAEL"Calm down, please," Aaron has been reminding me to calm down since Natasha and I arrived at the venue.The whole place is air-conditioned, but I can feel my sweat rolling on my skin.I need to take a deep breath."You'll understand how I feel if you were in my place," I retorted, pulling the collar of my shirt.I feel like choking.My wife, Natasha, I know that we're already married on paper, but I'm going to make it official tonight.I'm going to ask her for her hand.I have Olga and Pierce's blessing, as well as Quintus who's currently chatting with Pierce at the bar while my mother and Olga take time gossiping in one corner with Laura and her husband.And my wife, she just excused herself to the washroom."How long has she been in the washroom?" I asked Aaron. He turned his head in the direction she went and shrugged his shoulders."I don't know, probably around five minutes or so? I think it's women's usual routine. They take their time in the bathroom for hours and spend

CHAPTER 117: SURPRISE

NATASHAThe entire event was filled with laughter and joy as the elderly couples began to dance in the middle of the stage, accompanied by the beautiful melodies of the violin and piano. Each sway felt like a soothing lullaby to peace."Let me see the ring..." Laura gasped, looking at my hand in awe. "It's absolutely gorgeous. Richie, take a look!""I'm pretty sure it's worth three times the engagement ring I bought for your sister," Richie told me, earning a playful slap from Laura."That's because you're cheap!""But you still love me, right?" He said uncertainly, wincing as he waited for her response."Where's Nathaniel? Did you give him to Mom again?" Laura demanded, placing her hand on her hip.And there they go again."It was your dad's idea, they wanted to play with Nathaniel," I nodded in their direction and spotted our dad, Quintus, spinning Nathaniel on the floor like a toy."Let them be, Laura. They're having fun!" I told her, trying to get her to relax."Fine, fine!" Laura

CHAPTER 118: LUCKY

MICHAELI couldn't believe my ears.My heart started to beat faster than usual, while my mind seemed to stop functioning altogether."What?" I asked her once again.My libido was halted, the pleasure I was craving for paused for a moment as I waited for her to tell me she was just joking.Did I hear her right? Is she pregnant?"Baby, say it again," I demanded. "I need to hear it again."Biting her lower lip to stifle a smile, she said, "Mr. Michael Montero, you are officially going to be a father. I'm pregnant, and you're the father."I collapsed, burying my face in her neck.Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!Damn! It's real. I heard her right. She's pregnant! I'm going to be a dad!"Are you okay?" She chuckled, wrapping her legs around my waist and running her fingers through my hair. "Are you happy about it?"Lifting my head, I showed her the face of the happiest man on earth. "Baby, are you kidding? You don't know how happy you've made me tonight. Like-- damn! You're awesome, you're amazing.""But

CHAPTER 119: PHONE CALL

NATASHAAs soon as I woke up in the morning, I was greeted by loud noises coming from the living room.Michael isn't in bed anymore; his warmth is no longer beside me on the pillows or sheets. But his presence in this house is evident through the fresh scent lingering in the air, carried by the upbeat music playing downstairs.After freshening up, I limped down the stairs to find Michael spinning around like a dancer, with his lips pouted and a webber in his hand.Suppressing my laughter, I leaned on the railings of the stairs and watched him happily clean the house.A billionaire cleaning his own place? I should probably get used to this sight.Since we left Hampton after the incident ended, Michael convinced me with all his might to come back here to Manhattan.When I stepped inside this house, I thought it was his place. But Thalia mentioned to me that Michael bought this home... for me.Everything he does touches my heart, and I couldn't find a way to refuse his love and his ambit

CHAPTER 120: SENSUAL DISTRACTION

"Someone who wants you dead," I heard from the other end of the line. "Do you know how long I was looking for you last night? I have a lot to say, but you left the party without telling me. And then I found out from mom that you fled the event. How wonderful!"I scratched my head as I listened to Laura's rant. Although, I don't remember having an unfinished conversation with her."So, care to explain?""Well, I..." I sighed. "Michael and I needed to talk about something," I excused, even though we didn't really talk much. Just a brief discussion about something important, nothing else."Talk? After getting engaged in front of so many people, you guys disappear for a talk? Come on, Natasha. You know that a bad liar can spot another bad liar, right?"I lost my voice for a moment, knowing that I couldn't lie to her. Well, I could, but I knew she wouldn't let me get away with it.If there's one thing Laura and I are good at, it's sniffing out each other's lies."Okay, fine, we... did some
