Engagement Night

SIA POV"You've been so happy all evening, Elise. Didn't you say that it's only our girly dinner night? " I eyed her as her driver pulled up the car outside a luxurious hotel.My best friend threw her head back in laughter."I've worked my ass off week! Why shouldn't I be excited about some fun time?" "I have work to do at home. I don't want to be—" I whined.She cut in, placing a single finger on her lips, "Hush, Baby Girl! You're here now. Let's go in there and have some fun!" Her eyes shone with excitement as she spoke. She giggled like a kid who seemed to be hiding something and it made me uneasy. I forced a small smile at her as we stepped out of the car and into the hotel lobby. Something didn't feel right. As Elise chatted about how she was ready to stuff herself up with food, I reminded myself to relax a bit. Elise was only trying her best to make me forget how stressful the week had been. "Come on, let's go," Elise said, practically bouncing towards the elevators.I trail

Betrayal

SIA POVI blinked hard!Nothing changed. Nathan still stood rooted to the spot, frowning in the glare of the flashlights. The lady who was with him adjusted her gown and scurried away in the other direction."Nathan, why are you so shameless? Messing around with another woman on the night you engaged me is the peak of it!" I yelled at him."Take that flashlight away from my face." He said.I stormed towards him, "Nathan, how could you?" I demanded. My voice shook with rage.He looked up at me, a smug smile still plastered on his face. " Sia, don't be so dramatic. It's just a little fun,"I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes, but I refused to cry. Not yet. Not for this cheating wreck of a man."Fun? You call this fun? You're engaged to me, Nathan! We're supposed to be getting married!"He shrugged, his cold eyes shone. "I never promised you exclusivity, Sia. You knew what you were getting into when you agreed to marry me."I felt like I'd been slapped. How could he be so crue

In the wrong arms.

NICHOLAS POVI arrived at my hotel room by 7 pm, nervous and tense. I planned to hurry up and prepare the table before my visitor arrived. I immediately set to do that and I whistled softly, hoping that it would help me to calm my nerves.The hotel room which I booked was dimly lit. I had spent hours preparing for this moment, hoping to win Lily back.Down the hall, there was an engagement party. I knew this because I had strolled over earlier and looked through the door. The usual "Will you marry" banner was at the other end of the large hall. Somehow, it gave me hope that soon, I would be proposing to my woman. Well, she was no longer my woman again, because we were not together at the moment. I focused on arranging the items on the table as the sound of loud music floated over from the party hall. It felt ridiculous that the music was a stark contrast to my tense mood. As I placed the last glass on the table, I sprang up and started to pace around the room. My eyes remained f

Big Mistake

Nicholas POVWhen my eyes opened the next morning, the first thing that hit me was a stinging ache at the back of my head. It felt like a hammer was pounding away, and I couldn't remember why. I swallowed hard and I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me. It forced me to fall back onto the pillow.Soon, my eyes adjusted to the dim light, I realized I was in an unfamiliar room. It was a room I didn't ever remember walking into. The high walls were a dull gray, and the furniture was sparse and modern. It was the floor that caught my attention. Shards of broken glasses and bottles littered the wet surface, and the acrid smell of alcohol hung low in the room."What the actual hell?" I said with a small gasp. Panic set in as I struggled to remember how I got there, yet nothing came to mind. My eyes darted as I tried to find any clue, but my mind remained completely blank. That's when I heard a light snore beside me. I turned to see a woman with black hair lying on h

The Perfect Solution

SIA POV"Who the hell are you?!" I snapped at the stranger who sat, with crossed legs, watching me. He let out a mirthless laugh, the next second, his face hardened, and his lips were set in a thin line. Silence filled the room, making me uncomfortable. I picked up a pillow and flung it at him. His frown deepened and he rolled his eyes as the pillow smacked his face before falling to the floor."Are you deaf?" I yelled, as raw panic swept through me. I threw off the covers from my body and my mouth hung open. I didn't have any clothes on. That only meant one thing, but I forced myself not to think of it."No...it can't be true" I muttered under my breath.He eyed me in silence.A few moments passed and I jumped out of bed, taking the bedsheets with me as a cover. I was now unable to deal with the heat of his stare, and I edged backwards to the window behind me. I stood a good distance away from him. At least, It would give me more advantage over him if he ever wanted to lunge for

It gets even worse!

Nicholas POV“What do you mean?” Sia shot up from her bed, surprise framing her face as she stared at me disbelievingly.“Exactly what you heard,” I immediately snapped, pressing my back against the door as I stared at her. “Well, except of course you have a better option.” She didn't say anything, rather she nibbled on her lower lips, her hands crossed over her shoulders as she stared into the distance, deep in thought. I found myself staring at how her cherry pink lips suffered brutality as she dug into her teeth, ‘This is torture,’ I thought to myself as I pushed myself off the door. “We don't have all the time in the world, miss Stanton,” I said, cutting through the silence and her thoughts. “Isn't there some other option rather than this… this… this marriage,” she finally completed after a while of trying to find a word that she wouldn't choke on. “Do you really think I want to get married to you? A stranger I barely know?” I said, standing a bit away from, anger framing my

Going away to a safe place.

Sia POV. “What have I done?” I whispered again, not able to understand how this video crept online. Things weren't really making sense any longer to me. “D-did you bug this room with cameras?” I choked out, unable to think clearly. He gave me the look that said, ‘What sorta question is that?’, but at that point, I was finding it hard to know what to do or say. “Answer me! Did you bug the room with secret cameras?” I fired again, glaring furiously at him when he wouldn't say anything. “Where did you put it?” “What are you going on about? Why would I want to bug my room?” He reiterated back and dammit if his answer didn't sound plausible enough but I was beyond reasoning. “I don't know. It could've been for any reason. Maybe because… or…” I trailed off not knowing what to say. “Go on, why don't you tell me? Did your list get exhausted even before you started?” he teased, his face still contorted in anger. I don't know where I got the courage from but I hated the way he had th

Stay here for now!

SIA POV“Brace yourself princess,” Greg said, winking at me through the mirror. “We're here.”A few seconds later, the car pulled over in front of a huge property with high walls and a massive gate which had iron spikes and a heavy looking lock. The top of the wall was sharp barbed wire that seemed to glint.“Where are we?” I asked, feeling a shiver run down my back as I stared at the building.“This is my private mansion,” Nicholas replied, beating Greg to it. “You'll be safe here for now. I'll take you home later… when the heat dies.”“I'm sorry I missed something, what am I staying safe from exactly?” I asked, eyeing him and Greg suspiciously. Nicholas didn't reply to me, rather he alighted from the car and turned around to open the door closest to me. “Get down,” he ordered, taking a step back to give me space to step out. Staring at his rock hard gaze that was quite intimidating. I hesitated for a moment, before stepping out of the car.It was only then that I got a better view

Do you like her?

"You can't run from me, Sia!" I yelled at the top of my voice as the two women stormed out, the door slamming behind them with a loud thud. Did Sia hear what I said?Well, I couldn't care less. One thing was sure—I was going to find her later that evening. I had already planted people in strategic locations to keep an eye on her and make sure she didn't something as funny as running away.Also, I needed to find out who had placed those secret cameras at the hotel room, and why they did that. A fleeting thought flashed my mind and I grimaced.What if Sia wasn't who I thought she was? What if she was working with some rival of mine to pull me down? As innocent as she looked, I was sure that there was something more to her. I heard light footsteps behind me and swing around to the direction. One of my staff; Mama Carlotta. She was an aged woman who had once been my nanny at childhood, stood in the doorway, her hands clasped in front of her. Her face was pale, as though she had seen

I would never allow that!

NICHOLAS POVWhat the hell? I cursed underneath my breath. For a second or two, anger seethed through me, and then, it gave way to irritation.Greg was still looking at me, smiling. " Do you like Sia?" He repeated. I cocked an eyebrow, “Your superpower is to be the most annoying dumbass in my life. How do you even sit in one place and formulate things in your head?” Greg didn't budge, instead he continued, “Come on, Nicholas, admit it. You like her.”“No, I don't." I cut in, "As a matter of fact, Sia is the last woman I would ever like. Period!” I ended, a scowl on my face. “I need you to remind me again. Why are you so worked up about her safety?”" Her safety?" I repeated his words. He threw his hands in the air, "Is it obvious enough?""I'm telling you, Greg, I don't like her," I grunted, placing emphasis on my last words. “Save it, Nicholas. You're worried about her, and before you bring up the topic of your reputation, it's not just about your reputation. You're invested in
