Zane’s pov.
I was really worried as I stopped the right next to the house. I don’t even know what to defend myself with.
Who am I? Who was I to take his wife out of the house to restaurant and now, people thinks we are now having a secret relationship.
Who would do this??? Who would want to bring me down this way?
Different questions went on in my mind as I walked to the door. I pressed the door bell and shortly, the nanny opened up.
“Good morning, Sir” She greeted and I sighed.
“I’ve told you a dozen times that my name is Zane. Just Zane” I corrected walking past her.
She chuckled and slammed the door but not too loud.
I bumped into Nicole on my way to Damon’s private office and our foreheads practically jammed.
“Gosh! Zane” she called in astonishment and nursing the affected part with her hand.
“I’m sorry, ma’am. I was In a rush” I apologized also touching the place on my own forehead.
“Good morning. You look lovely” I couldn’t help but comment her white gown which fits her body perfectly.
“Thank you. Let’s go meet my nagging husband. I wonder what he’s gonna tell us for that silly photo and caption” She said surprisingly sounding less bothered.
I swallowed hard walking with her down the hallway.
“I hope he doesn’t figure it that I took you to the office that same day. He never wanted you going around” I paused immediately she placed her hand on mine.
So soft like it has never held anything heavy before.
“Just relax. There’s nothing to worry about. I know how to handle him…” She said enthusiastically and winked at me.
“I hope so” I muttered as we almost got to the door of the office.
“So, did that man later gift the company five million??” She asked opening her mouth wide.
“Of course, but he ended up sending four. The one million went to different orphanages around the country. I bet more than a billion children will be praying for you right now – for safe delivery of your baby” I cooed and smiled.
“Wow. Thats really good of him. Thank you, Zane” She flushed in amazement.
Nicole’s pov.
We entered the office after his lazy voice gave us an approval to come in.
Zane was walking behind me of course while I worked fearlessly to sit before his desk.
“We are here, hubby” I said rolling my eyes at him.
“The both of you have decided to drag my reputation in the mud. I have my wife hanging out with my staff—”
“No, sir—”
“Not a word from you till I’m done” Damon cut Zane off sternly and he sighed.
“It’s alright. Yes, it is because I don’t care about her. The only thing I’m looking out for is my baby. I just want it safe and healthy. You both can carry on with your relationship. I’m in full support. Here, Nicole” He paused and passed a paper and pen to me.
I caught a glimpse of the written words.
“In there, it clearly states that the both of you can of course, kiss, smooch and cuddle but you’re not allowed to have se.x, that’s if you haven’t been doing it behind me back. You can’t defile my baby with Zane. Her in between is off limits. Sign the f***king papers, Nicole!” He said filled with displeasure.
“Now, I’m sure you’re insane, Damon. Why can’t you understand that the bloggers got this all wrong?” I asked glaring at him.
“I don’t care. You should be thanking me for giving you the opportunity to be with the one you love—”
“Please, sir. There’s nothing going on between us. And I’m not doing this. You can’t force me to date your wife” Zane interrupted him hoarsely.
“Who said this was an order, Zane? It is a command. Either you date her or I’ll have you fired and everything taken away from you because without me, you’ll still be in the streets! You can’t forget that easily, can you?” He threatened raising his voice.
This made Zane stiff for a moment and weakened his previously tensed up muscles.
“Don’t fire him! I’ll…I’ll sign it” I said nervously and penned down my signature on the paper.
“Great. You two love birds can go out now and have fun. You can pick up from where you stopped while I was away” He said saving his hand at us.
Damon is more than annoying.
Well, at least I’m happy I get to leave the house and spend time with Zane.
Ooh! It’s gonna be so much fun and I hope he’s in the right mood as well.
“Come on, Zane. Lets get out of here, boy-friend” I said and stood up from the chair. Zane was yet to move.
He’s really overreacting.
“Have fun” Damon winked and left the office. I’m afraid I might stab this guy some day due to his cruelness.

Damon’s pov.She thinks I’m a fool.I gave her everything – money, fancy jewelries, a nanny to do all the work she should be doing and a company signed in her name which she knows nothing about.She still won’t humble herself and give me the respect I deserve as her husband.She should be worshiping me!Cr*p! I was furious.I just want my child. I just want it alive and healthy. I’m not gonna be like my real father who neglected his duties.Who tossed my pregnant mother aside and let her stay out in the cold.I’m gonna be a better father. That’s a promise I’ve made to my unborn children. I have the money and I’ll definitely spend it.She’s very annoying.I can’t wait for her to give birth to my baby so I can divorce her, that’s if she keeps misbehaving!
Nicole's pov.Zane returned after a long time and I was angry that he came empty handed.What happened to the popcorn and lollipop??"They've run out of popcorn. We were asked to come back later" He said and sat beside me."You don't look so happy like you were before. Are...Are you bored?" I asked worriedly."I just feel like I should get you home. You need to rest from all the laughing and talking--""I'm not fragile for peace sake! I'm just like every normal pregnant lady out there" I rasped holding tight on the chair handles."You're not normal. You caused our company to get four instead of five million. Luckily, no one else knows about this except those foreigners" He muttered and I rolled my eyes."You're right. I'm feeling quite sleepy" I yawned stretching my hands in the air.He chuckled as we got up together and exit the cinema.
Nicole's pov."It's been a while" I said and stood aside so she could come into the house.Wow. I can't believe she still looks the same after a few months of not setting my eyes on her.I gently shut the door and escorted her to the front room where we sat on separate sofas."Do you want anything?" I asked studying the way she looked around the house."No. I'm fine. OMG. Look at you! All big and beautiful" She said and I rolled my eyes."Like, you care. Ever since I got married to Damon, you've never actually called me unless I call you. I've been trying to reach you in some occasions but you don't pick up. I know you're disappointed in me for getting pregnant at that party, but I thought you didn't need to keep more malice" I blunted caring less about how she would take the truth."It's not really like that----""Or is it because
Nicole's pov."You've started your pranking game, Neera" I said faking a frown. She giggled and got up from the couch. She tip tied to the door and checked through the peep hole."She's here, go on and hide behind the door. I'll give a little scare" She said smirking."This is a bad idea..." I growled tired of arguing with her.I did as she instructed and stood behind the door to witness her reaction.She went ahead to open the door and it was the nanny carrying a heavy bag of groceries. I could see her from aside."Good morning" Neera said sounding pretty serious."How may I help you?" She further asked.The nanny looked around wearing a confused look."Isn't this the Waltons?" She muttered under her breath."Pardon?" Neera asked and I must commend that she sounded really professional."This is t
Zane's pov.I cuddled her tightly and she huffed shaking her head negatively. She tried getting rid of my hands but I was persistent to hold on to her."Don't you have work to go to?" She asked coldly and I grinned sardonically."My boss is taking his wife to the mall. So...I got a day off, isn't that great?" I asked against her ear and she growled."Get off me, Zane. I can believe I'm gonna be at home doing nothing with you" She peeved still attempting to remove my hands from her body."I want you, Neera. You have to understand that I can't always keep it together" I cooed and she shrugged her shoulders like she was irritated."I'm not in the mood, Zane" She replied and I rolled my eyes."You're not ever in the mood. Did I do something wrong, huh??" I asked irritably."You did nothing wrong. I'm just...I have a lot on my mind, rig
Nicole's pov."Help me!!" I yelled again and hit my hands hard on the tough doors."Help you? What about me??" Damon asked behind me and I scoffed."Like you're ready to get out of here?" I replied rolling my eyes at him.The corners of the elevator were transparent and I could see the whole mall but the problem was if they could see us."Oh, Damon. I'm feeling hot already. I feel so hot! I can't be In an enclosed place for long. It..It freaks me out!" I cried and he sighed."I don't know why women are so annoying. Do I look like someone that can bear being in an enclosed place? You need to calm down while I reach the manager" He said looking into his phone."You don't understand. There's a difference. More like a phobia!" I panicked hitting the set of buttons."Stop it, Nicole! Why do you keep acting like a crazy person?!" He roar
Nicole's pov."Nicole..." I heard a faint voice call gently shaking me.My eyelids moved but I didn't lift them hurt yet. Who on earth was disturbing me from my sleep?"Nicole! Wake up, we are home" Damon stressed rubbing the back of my wrist this time.It felt weird. How come he's being so soft and touching me like this?Could be my plans were working - I mean Neera's advice?"Why don't you carry me, huh?" I mumbled drowsily."Alright, I'll carry your lazy as.s" He replied and my eyes flickered open the moment he said that.He was serious!!He carefully put his arms at the necessary places and carried me up from the car seat. I sent my two hands up to his neck and interlocked them."You are very heavy, Nicole Walton" He remarked and I smiled broadly."I know" I rep
Nicole's pov."We can't do this here, Damon! What if someone hears us?" I said worriedly."It won't take long, just turn around" He said with furrowed brows.I scoffed, so he wants d**ggy.Unfortunately, he's not gonna get any."I'm not turning. We are going back to the room and get this dinner over with but as for se.x, I'm not opening up" I stated willfully."I always get what I want" He groused and I sighed."I know. You'll definitely get it, but not right now. We can do this when we are back home, alright?" I asked softly and he rolled his eyes. He opened the doors and I exit the restroom.This has never happened before and I'm not letting it happen. What if someone walks in on us?? The shame alone would make me speechless for hours.The Damon I know could care less. I'm sure about that.When w
