Nortia's POV The date was great, but I knew that there was no way I could accept another anymore or I found myself accepting another. “Well, I enjoyed that.” He had stepped around,pulling the door open for me to step out which I did when he drove back in. “Did you enjoy it? I don't know what to think,you were so quiet all through.”What was I to do? That was what I wanted to ask but I found myself slipping that back in. “ I did, of course.”“ Then will I be getting another?” “ You have to try hard enough, the first was given to you on a platter, let's watch you try again to get me on another.”He curled his lips into a smile. “ Trying hard, aren't you?” “ I will do so because you are worth it, Nortia.”I wanted to ask why he thought I was worth it, but I couldn't bring myself to do so. He treated me like a gentleman would have. He was so careful while touching me, asking for permission before he did or wanting to make sure I was fine. He was the perfect one, I would have thoug
Alexis's POV I would have been happy if I was relegated to the background in all of this but when you have something important to do, then you have to put in the work and that was what I intended to do, so here we were. “ All you have to do is sign here.” My lawyer said, pointing at the paper to me. “ And you …” he made gestures at Samantha. “ Here it is.”We both did as he had said, our fingers dancing on the papers before I shook my head. This was a lot, a whole lot, I didn't know what was in what she had but I knew it would be incriminating and as such, she might want to be out of it. I understood her, I really did understand her, anyone would have done such, but I really hoped it wouldn't be something that bad that I would be tempted to go against my word. “ Well, can I have it?” “ I can't go back home. You said you might need me as a witness, if you press charges against my father, I can't be there. He will be able to tell that I was the one who did, and his men will be sea
Nortia's POVI knew I wasn't supposed to feel this way, but I couldn't lie that I was looking forward to meeting with Chad, it wasn't like I was in love with him or sort, but it was the first time anyone had made me want to talk that much in two months and at such, the least that I could do was indulge in what he had to say. “ Well, someone seems excited,” Genevieve said while I tried to get something to put in. “ Well, it is the first time I am going out in months, so I have to make sure it is worth it.”“ With someone who isn't my brother, but that's fine,” my mood dwindled so fast at her words and I could tell she had felt it because she turned to me, standing upright as she apologized. “ I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it that way. I didn't mean to get you pissed or anything such as that,”I shrugged off her hand that was placed on my shoulders, picking up my phone before I walked out. “Nortia,”“ It's fine.” I pointed at her when she walked behind me, not stopping a bit. “ I'
Alexis's POV The line thrilled while we were still talking and I knew she had done it, possibly didn't want to talk to me anymore and as such did that. I took in a deep breath, not moving an inch while thinking of what to do. My mother was the one who had done this, she had bluntly told me may the best man win and I knew she wasn't going to speak in favour of me anymore so I had to hasten this up. With a man ready to get her for himself all the way in Switzerland even while she was pregnant, it meant someone else had been what I had seen, not just the beauty, but how flawless her heart was as well. The door opened up shortly with Gerald walking in. “Well…” I waited for what was to be his response. “ You should know that this seems deeper than it already is.”“ What do you mean by that?” “ Doctor Chad finished top of his class, he is a neurologist, one of the best in the country, and he is the only heir to the Wales,”“ The Wales?” I had to be sure. “ You mean the Wales?” “ Ye
Alexis's POV The ding had me flicking my head at my phone which a message sprawled all over the face, my eyes dimmed in while I tried to take a good look at what I had been said, my face morphed into a scowl while I tried to make sense of it. It was a text from Genevieve letting me know Nortia had a new man, a fucking new man. That shot me up from my seat in an instant because there was no way that could be possible, how had my mother let that happen? And she was pregnant, with a bulge? My hand closed around the phone when it dinged again, a picture came up,one which had me closing my grip around the phone, my eyes fixated on it. “ Gerald,” I called, half yelling while a hand smoothened my chest “ Gerald,” I called again, my time higher than the last while I waited for him to step in which he did. “ Is there a problem?”“ Which of our men was assigned to Nortia?” “ I can't recall, but he has been around for a while, is there something you want me to look into?” I nudged the p
Nortia's POVWhat was the chances of me running into this guy shortly afterwards? If I was being asked, I would have said a nil but that didn't seem like it especially when he had his look on his face which gave off the vibes that it wasn't the first time we were seeing, and I was left with explaininh to my ex mother in law and ex sister in law, oops, my mother in law and sister in law, who he was. “ Hey…,” my hand ran through my hair while I tried to get him to shuu. Get away. I could already see the thousand questions swarming in my godmother's mind and Genevieve as well. “ I would have never thought I would see you here, and with companies as well, I thought you didn't have people though.”“ I never told you that.” I had to let him know right away. “ You just seemed so keen to get me to come over and it isn't in my itinerary.”“ That isn't it, I offered to show you around and it was a good gesture of mine which still stands by the way, and I'm hoping you will take it,”“ I won'
