02 Shocking Scene

Ava Della Sanchez 

  

I rushed outside and quickly entered my dad's Limousine which is the key to the car that I took, I don't know why but I suddenly feel excited, I don't know if it's because I'm going to see Nickolaus after so many years, my heart is filled with happiness, I never knew he was my betrothed that means it's me and him forever. Gosh, I feel so on top of the world. I feel like I'm the happiest woman on earth, it feels so good to know. I know I might not be the best, at least I have my flaws but I promise to be the best wife ever.

Back in the States, boys used to flock around me, but I only have eyes for my Nicklaus, that's why I never bother to look at other men. I type the name of his company on my phone. I don't know the way, so I'm using my phone's GPS location to track it. I waited and after some time, it started moving. I smiled as I ignited the ignition of the car, looking out through the window.

"Nickolaus here I come" I muttered and smiled as I drove off, I continued to look around the city as I tried to master my way knowing I don't have to use my phone GPS all the time, I already know I will be coming here all the time. I continue driving as I whine down the glasses enjoying the cool breeze. "Fresh air of New York City'' I muttered, inhaling deeply as I concentrated back on the road and kept driving.   

I smiled when I saw a young couple holding hands as they walked on the road. A thought suddenly hit me, " What if Nickolaus is against this marriage?"   

"He should have tried to contact me," I said to myself, but then…..I don't want to start my day with negativity, "We have to be positive" I said to myself tapping my chest.   

The GPS is now blinking fast showing that we are already close to the company. I held my breath as I kept on driving with only one prayer, and that is   

''Nickolaus please love me" I know it sounds crazy but I don't know what will happen if I find out he's in love with someone else I might lose it. I kept praying not knowing what else to do like it's the only thing left on my lips.

I love him even as a best friend, I love him even as we grow up and now ... .I found out he's my betrothed. I love him more, this shows that heaven is with me. That's a sign and even if he has someone that he loves

"I'm sorry Nickolaus but you're mine," I said to myself, well I have never been so clingy and possessive of someone before, but this is not ordinary someone, because he's my childhood friend, my betrothed, and my heartthrob and I don't care being clingy and possessive cause he's worth it.

I already made myself this promise and whenever I do something like this I don't go back on them, I know I will fight the world itself even if it has to…for me to be with Nickolaus. That's just how deep and loving my love for him is…..

I stop my car as the location stops in front of a huge company which has the inscription "NICKOLAUS GROUP OF COMPANY" I smile, at how much success my best friend has made over the years, I wonder what caused the problem he's facing now. I sigh as I drive into the company. I pack my car at the Que and walk out elegantly. I can feel people staring at me but I cared less, that's how it has always been for some time now. I smile, liking how I draw attention.

Don't misquote me, I'm not too pompous, but I like it when I draw people's attention, it has always been a habit since childhood.   

I catwalk towards the receptionist.

"Excuse me dear good day" I greeted with a nice smile on my face.

"Afternoon welcome to Nickolas group of company please how can we help you?" She asks with the same smile and damn! she's beautiful, I walk closer to her table and bring my mouth close to her ears and then I whisper.

"You're beautiful"   

"You too," She replied blushing. I smile at her reddish face, she sure does not know about that.

I cleared my throat and she looked through her PC, "Are you looking for someone?" She asked and turned her attention back to me. I cleared my throat and looked around the whole place to see everyone was so busy.

"Is your boss so strict? Why is everyone so focused like this?" I ask. She looked around as if to see if anyone was coming and when she didn't see anyone. She beckoned me to come close which I did, she leaned a little bit closer to my ear and whispered.

''The CEO is a grumpy and handsome devil, with his bitch witchy girlfriend" She said, I made to join her in laughing but when the word she whispered reminisced in my head, I knew there was a problem. I laugh a little and ask.

"Where's the CEO's office?" I ask to cover up the burn that already started in my heart, my inside was on fire like it had been lightened with petrol.

"At the last floor," She pointed.

"Thanks a lot" I smile.

"You're welcome" She giggled, while I walked off. At this rate I know I might lose it any moment from now, my most dreaded nightmare has finally happened. Turns out he already got a girlfriend, but he knows he's betrothed to me, maybe that's the reason why he hasn't contacted me. But we're friends, he should have talked to me.   

As I enter the elevator I feel like I might pass out at any time, I can't fight the tears that have blurred my sight, my burning chest which tightens every second, my crushed hope. Everything……..is crushed but no….the receptionist says she's a bitch and that means she's not good for my Nick. Not like anybody is perfect but at least not that kind of person. The elevator opened and I came out. I looked right and left and saw a huge door to my right. Knowing it will be his office, I wipe off my tears and walk towards it.

I stood in front of the door and took a deep breath, my palms suddenly became sweaty as my breath quickened, but I stood as I calmed myself down. I fan myself and when I'm sure I'm ready. I knocked on the door but got no response. I knocked again and when I held the doorknob I found out it was open without wasting time. I pulled the doorknob and entered, only to see the most shocking scene of my life.

Right before me, a girl sat on his lap with his hands around her waist as they kissed deeply.

"Nicklaus Michaelson….!!!!!!" I screamed.
