All Chapters of Nina; The real me: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Nina turned to Henry in anger. “Who asked you to come out? I wanted to handle this in my own way… Henry…”“Nina please stop it!. Henry quickly interrupted. Do you think I'd just stay back and do nothing? Didn't you see the desperation in his eyes?“I saw it, but you shouldn't have shown up. I know Marcus more than you do and I would have handled him in a better way.”“Really? Is that your defense for what you caused us?”Their argument became heated and it attracted the attention of the police that were staying back.The police showed their faces and searched frantically, but it seems Marcus had vanished into the night. Shots fired into the air echoed through the clearing, but he didn’t reappear. The officers tried to track him, but it was as if he had evaporated into thin air.Nina stood there, trembling with the weight of the night’s events bearing down on her. Henry, who was beside her, was furious. He turned to her, his eyes blazing with anger and confusion. “What is it, Nina? Wha

After a week, Henry decided it was time to bring everyone together and celebrate the return of the kids and the peace that has been restored to their home. It had been a long journey of fear and worry and he believed a family dinner would help solidify the bonds that had been tested and strained over the past weeks. He wanted to create a space where they could all move forward, leaving behind the shadows of the past and holding onto something that would bring them together.He set the date and extended invitations to everyone including Olivia, their mother, and even Clarissa. Despite the complexities and past tensions, he believed that including Clarissa would help bridge the gaps and create a sense of unity that would help them to start again as a family.As the evening approached, the house buzzed with activity. Maria and Nina worked together in the kitchen, preparing a feast that would make the occasion memorable. The aroma of roasted meats, freshly baked bread, and a variety of s

The next morning was filled with the usual routine of a house coming to life. Breakfast was a cheerful affair, with Sophie and James discussing their plans for the day. Nina felt a renewed sense of purpose, refreshed by the previous evening's bonding. As she was clearing the dishes, the doorbell rang.“I’ll get it,” she said aloud, drying her hands on a towel as she made her way to the door.When she opened it, her heart skipped a beat. Standing there was Mr. Johnson, her former boss. A mix of emotions flooded through her. Why was he here?“Good morning, Mr. Johnson,” she greeted, trying to keep her voice steady. “ I wasn't expecting to see you at all. This is a surprise.” she said beneath breath.“Yeah, Nina, it’s good to see you,” he replied warmly. “I hope I’m not intruding.”“Not at all,” she assured him, stepping aside to let him in. “Please, come in.”As he entered, Henry appeared from the living room, followed closely by Sophie and James. Nina quickly introduced her former boss

The phone on the table distracted them, Henry picked the phone, checked who it was before handing it to his wife.“Who is it?” She asked in a shaky voice but there was no response from Henry. When she looked at the caller's ID she saw that it was an unknown number. Her blood ran cold as she stared at her husband.“Hey you two, go upstairs. Your mum and I need to talk.” Henry told the kids as he moved closer to Nina.“Don't you think it's Marcus on the line?“Marcus? How?”Henry rose up in anger clenching his fist. “You won't listen to me, my instincts tell me it's Marcus on the line. Babe, let's get this guy through Johnson and focus on our lives!“No! I wouldn't betray him cheaply, he's only trying to help us. Let's respect that.” She said and walked away.The evening became tense again, even when they didn't know who it was that called. Nina lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, as her thoughts raced. The house was quiet, but her mind was anything but. Her phone buzzed on the nightst

Henry sat in the living room, flipping through a magazine, trying to distract himself from the worry that had been building up since Nina had left. Suddenly his phone rang, and he picked it up, but it was his mother-in-law's number. Thousands of reasons filled his mind as he tried to figure out what could have prompted her call."Hello?" he answered, trying to keep his voice calm."Henry, it's me," Nina's mother said, her voice filled with concern. "How are you? Is everything okay there? Nina was supposed to come to see me, but she hasn't arrived yet. What's going on?” She asked at once.Henry took a deep breath, trying to respond with a calm tone. "Everything's fine, Mom. I tried calling her too, but she hasn't picked up. I guess she's caught up in traffic or something might be keeping her, but let's not panic just yet, everything is fine."There was a pause on the other end, and Henry could sense her worry. "Henry, you don't sound too sure. Are you sure that everything is alright?"
