Chapter Thirty Four
Nina's POV
When I woke up, Stefan and I were tangled to each other.I don't know why I screamed maybe I panicked, maybe I was confused but he also joined in jumping from the bed."Wait, why are you screaming?" I asked and he paused, looked around and ran his hand through his hair."I don't know."
"Why are we together in your bed? Yes you took advantage of me." I retorted.
"My friend do you have s-x with your clothes on?" He rolled his eyes.He wasn't even tempted? My ego is crushed, he should be head over heels for me after seeing what am made of.This gorgeous body didn't just fall from Mars."But you were tempted to kiss me, just admit it." I wiggled my eyebrows..
He remained silent for a while and faked a laugh," I rather kiss a rabbit than you.I know I am irresistible.This nigga is good. He is a very good actor
"So if I kiss you right now, you won't run away??" I stood from the bed and started walking towa
Chapter Thirty FiveStefan's POVI have never felt so happy and ligh.For the first time in a very long time, I actually felt the beautiful rays of the sun on my face.I appreciated the morning fresh air and the sight of dew.Did I have a beautiful smile or was she pulling my leg?But she looked like she meant it.I walked into the company and people were shockingly looking at me. Did I have something on my face?.What's the good news? My PA tried been all friendly."AYou we friends? Are you my sister?"She shook her head in disapproval."So focus on what I pay you to do..." I looked at her with a straight face," And tell the financial manager I want to see him and know why the housing project is not in progress..""Yes sir..."When I walked into my office, I found myself smiling thinking about her.Did she really want to kiss me?Is she forgetting about my brother? Is she falling for me?I took out a mirror from the bottom drawer and looked at my
Chapter Thirty SixStefan's POVHoly sh-t!!!!I overslept.She is going to kill me when she wakes up.I tried my best to slide her off my chest but the moment I stood up she held my hand, Where are you going darling?"I shook my head and slapped my cheek twice. Was she just smiling at me?"I think you meant Stefan, what are you doing next to me?" I mimicked how she talks and sat beside her."I don't talk like that...""I thought you would be mad about what I did yesterday.I just...." She placed her finger on my lips,"Yes I was mad but my dad is just my dad...""So we good?""I guess..."Her eyes still looked swollen and red, I know she cried her eyes out yesterday.The fact she didn't argue or get on my nerves made me worried...The room seemed dull without her tantrums."I will shower now...""But it's your turn to make the bed..." I retorted."Let it breath...""You keep on saying that just to justify your laziness..
Chapter Thirty SevenNina's POVI felt shattered by my dad's behaviour but I should get used to the fact that my elder sister will always be his favourite.But Stefan going out of his way to make it work between daughter and father was the most kindest gesture I have ever seen.Maybe he is not that bad.Maybe I misjudged him.After taking hours off everything and focusing on what I do best at the fashion studio, I realized all I needed was comfort and a shoulder to lean on.Yeah, my work kept me busy but my heart was still bleeding.I needed somebody to hug me and tell me it gets better with time.I tiptoed in our room and there was Stefan dead asleep.Should I wake him for a hug?No I shouldn't make it easy for him.Yes, he wanted to help me out but he also added salt to the injury. He needs to be taught a good lesson.I pretended to be asleep and saw his eyes open busy staring at me or was it the red lingerie dress? Who cares....Then boom, he went to th
Chapter Thirty Eight Nina's POVWithout explaining himself, he grabbed my hand and walked me out of the club."Till when will you break my heart?" He asked."Stefan, you can't drag her out like that...We were only having fun..." opened his big mouth."Shut up, this is between my wife and I..." He opened the passenger door for me, helped me get inside and buckled my seatbelt.He jogged to the other side, slide into his seat, buckled the seatbelt the we drove off.I wanted to say alot on his face but chose to remain quiet...He was driving in a supersonic speed and I was afraid for our lives.When we arrived at the house, he grabbed my hand again and walked me upstairs ignoring the questions from his mother and grandmother."Nina, what's wrong with you????" He pinned me at the door the moment we got into our room."Why do you hurt me like this?" He asked.How could I tell him it wasn't intentionally."You are a married woman and
Chapter Thirty NineStefan's POV"Son whoever finds a good woman finds a good thing..."I didn't know the essence of these words until I met Nina.I always wondered what my dad meant when he said whatever he has achieved is thanks to his wife.Nina was my inspiration and the love that grew deep inside me was the reason I want to always work hard and give her the life she deserves.I know I have trusted the wrong people, believed their promises, expected more than they could offer but yesterday I saw sincerity in her eyes.Maybe being brutally honest was a good move to win her sympathy. Yes it sounds desperate but the mere thought of losing her would lead me to depression."Your highness you need bed rest...The reason you felt dizzy is because of fatigue.." The doctor retorted."But I have an empire to run and CEOs don't become successful lying in bed..." I said angrily"So how will you run the business if you are dead? W
Chapter Fourty Nina's POVFinally the D-day was here...The fashion studio was filled with madness, organised madness but madness neverthelessSome dancers were late and the model didn't show up as she called in sick. It was hell of a day."Nina?"Carlos grabbed my arm when he noticed I was running around like a mad person."Carlos , this is not the time..." I rolled my eyes."Calm down or you will go crazy. Everything is going to be fine..."He beamed."Carlos, it's not the time..." I dropped his hand and when I was about to get back to business he whispered something that tore my insides into two."I really miss you...I wish we could re-live the Maasai Mara moments once again...""Don't to this, we both know we are hurting but the reality is you are not mine..." I walked away."I really miss you...I wish we could re-live the Maasai Mara moments once again...""Don't to this, we both know we are hurting but the reality
Chapter Fourty OneStefan's POVAfter the shocking surprise from Carlos , the first thing that rang on my mind was Nina.Was she okay?How was she holding up?I was worried about her but deep down I was happy.I know it may seem selfish but I just wanted her to myself. Right now it may hurt but soon, she would realise I am all she got.I run to the backstage and there was no sight of her."Carlos have you seen my wife???" I panted.He was busy showing off his new girlfriend to his friends and fellow artists...."What?"His mood suddenly changed...He looked worried like I was."Yes, I can't find her...""Have you asked the driver?"He let his girlfriend hand go and ran out of there like he was in danger."Yes, I can't find her...""Have you asked the driver?"He let his girlfriend hand go and ran out of there like he was in danger.When I finally caught up with him, I found him interrogating the driver...
Chapter Fourty TwoCarlos's POVI only miss her when am breathing.I only need her when my heart is beating.She is the only colour that am bleeding.What is fate?Fate to me is pain, anguish, terror. Fate allowed the woman I love more than my life to slip off my fingers.If that wasn't enough, it gave her away to my brother.Here I am stuck to the girl I don't love, the girl I introduced as my girlfriend to the whole world.Was the sacrifice worth it?Was my brother worth the sacrifice?Nina loves me and I love her then why are we apart?Because my brother fell in love with my woman. At times I wanna strangle him, at times I can't control the anger I feel towards him but the bottom line is that he is my brother.We walked into the hotel room and Ariana still thought she was acting."Put your hands off me... " I ordered slumping on the sofa."Jeez!!! What's with you?""How should I be when I just introduced you to the whole world as my girl
