Mutual attraction

 NADIA'S POV.  I looked away quickly, not wanting to meet his eyes. He was making me uncomfortable. Why would he stare at me fixedly when there was a large screen playing a comedic movie in front of us? “I'm sorry.” He apologized, and I cleared my throat. Of course, he knew I was uncomfortable. We continued to watch the movie, and in no time, it took away my discomfort. The movie was expertly acted out in such a way that I couldn't help bursting in laughter every few seconds. The writers had written it well, and the actors had also played out their roles perfectly.  I knew Titan stared at me occasionally, but he tried his best not to let me notice. Unknown to him, my side eye worked perfectly.  When the movie was over, I couldn't resist talking about it, and I surprised myself because it was unlike me to talk so

A call that was scary

 NINA'S POV.  I watched them hugging in the garden, with my intestines feeling like they were being grilled. I had been enjoying a lovely evening in the garden, and they just had to storm in and ruin it.  What? He was sorry? Had he ever apologized to me? He treated me with contempt in his every gaze, but had never apologized or even acted like he was sorry for once. Whatever he had done to Nadia, I knew it couldn't be up to all he had done to me, yet he was apologizing to her with such genuine expression on his face.  My breath came out faster, as heat spread through my chest angrily.  What was so special about Nadia? What exactly!? She looked like she was shocked, but of course, she was pleased. Will released her, and began to say something I couldn't hear, and a blush crept to her cheeks.  How dare she? I longed

Doomed

 NINA'S POV.  A satisfactory smile spread on my mother's face, as she regarded me.  “That's the only thing you want? That's all?” She asked, still with that smile on her face.  “For now.” I replied, with a sniff, and wiped my eyes, as a smile, reflecting hers, formed on my face.  Already, it was noon, and the sun was high in the sky, striking hot. I had eaten breakfast an hour ago, but my stomach felt empty.  My jealousy and anger had fed on my breakfast, as I watched Alpha Titan and Will drool over Nadia.  She wasn't even that pretty or special. I was better than she was.  “Well…” my mother said, raising a brow, as she got to her feet.  “I would have done it myself, but the man I trust in doing stuff like thi

Safe

 NADIA'S POV.  John looked at me with a kind of gratitude in his eyes that moved me. “I've kept this for so long in my heart. I haven't spoken much about it with anyone. It has always eaten away at me, and I have nightmares every time I go to sleep. Since Jake died, I've never really had a rest of mind. I'm always thinking about him.” He bit his lip, and his eyes glistened with tears once more.  He added, “But right now, it seems like I might finally be able to sleep once everything is over.” He said, and my heart went soft. Losing someone wasn't easy. I had experienced it when Penelope suddenly died without me knowing anything.  It had hurt… hurt so bad that I couldn't stop my tears from falling. All I wanted was someone to talk to, and lament all I wanted. I had felt guilty of not checking up on her, and maybe John felt exactly that

Next plan

NINA’S POV All I was waiting for now, was the results of John’s assignment. I couldn’t wait to execute the plan I had in mind for Nadia and her kids. The thought of everything going as planned, made me have goosebumps, and smile like someone who was going crazy. I sat back on the chair before my bed desk, and stared into the mirror with a smile.“You must have thought you came back stronger, and that’s why you had the guts to block my success path. Well, you got it wrong, Nadia. I will crush you down, and this, time, you’re going to be unrevivable.”  My phone suddenly rang out, and I looked sharply at the bed, then rose to my feet, and walked towards the other side of the bed. I picked up my phone, and then discovered it was John who was on the phone. Joy and excitement beamed in my heart as I had been anticipating his call, and this time, I could feel it deep in me t

Revelation

NADIA’S POV I had acted so well that everyone in the house believed that I had really lost my kids. I recalled seeing Nina standing somewhere in the living room, and watching as Will tried to comfort me. She must have had mixed emotions. Jealousy and anger must have flowed in her veins. Well, someone as vicious as her, deserved it, and even deserved more. She was yet to see what was going to take her by surprise. In her head, she probably thought she was winning. I had intentionally come outside to wail as John had told me to make the whole scenario real as Nina, with the kind of person she is, she might try to double check. When dealing with a smart person like her, one had to be extra smart. By now, everyone thinks I have slept off, so Nina must be thinking the same thing, too. Certainly, no one can be around the corner here. I picked up my phone, then went on a video cal

Not this time

NADIA’S POV Will looked at me intensely like he was trying to understand what I had to say that had to do with Nina. But then, I stood my ground, and raised my chin a bit high, to express this confident look. If I looked less confident, they could wave me off, thinking I was just trying to cause some unnecessary ruckus, or that I must be going crazy because I lost my kids.  “Why do we have to call Nina to this? Is there something going on that I don’t know about?” Will asked, looking baffled.“You will find out.” I replied, not giving him a soft expression. Then one of the council members rose to his feet.“You do know that what you’re doing, isn’t what we call respectful.”  I knew it wasn’t, but I had something to gain, and at least, I would redeem my image that way. The look they usually gave me, ever since I

Blocked

 NINA'S POV  I blow-dried my hair in the mirror, humming a nice tune to myself. I couldn't deny that I was in good spirits that morning. Everything was going fine. If I hadn't talked to mum, I might have still been stuck in my problem. The twins were gone, and Nadia was mourning. Seeing her mourn was like peace to my soul. She had dared to be the center of attention. How dare she?  I bet the ugly, little things were starving and crying for their mum. They didn't know they would never see her if I wanted it. I got up from the table, dropped my blow dryer, and walked to my bedside in my bathrobe.  "We ought to have a huge celebration, Nina." I said, picking up the wine bottle on the bedside table. I poured wine generously into my glass, and cheered to the mirror.  A large amount of the wine made it down my throat on my f

Blood

 NADIA'S POV.  “Ma'am,” I heard, followed by a gentle knock on my door. I got to my feet, and opened it. It was a maid, and she bowed.  “There's someone here to see you.” She informed me. “Who?” I asked. The maid looked like she tried to remember the name given to her, and I waited. “Miss… Miss Anya, Anna! Miss Anna.” She said, as soon as she recalled, and I smiled at her. “I'm sorry. I was recruited recently, so I'm yet to know all the names of the people that visit.” She said, nervously, and I smiled.  “That's fine. You'll adapt slowly.” I replied, and left my room to see Anna. I was quite pleased to hear Anna had come to see me.  Following the recent events, I needed to spend less time alone, and more time with people

The link

 NADIA'S POV.   “Do you want Hansel and Gretel?” I asked Zelda and Zayn, as I flipped through the pages of a large storybook I had found in the library. “Nope. I want Beauty and the Beast.” Zayn replied. “No! That's too boring. I want to listen to Sleeping beauty.” Zelda replied, blushing. “How many times do we have to listen to that! I know all the lines in my head.” Zayn snapped with a cute pout, as he crossed his arms in an odd way. Each hand held the other arm when they were supposed to be tucked in his chest.  “Then wait until I know all the lines in my head, too.” Zelda replied wittily.  “When is that going to happen?” “When I listen to it twenty more times.” “Twenty? I'll start coun
