CHAPTER 26 APPEASE
Zane fixed her things and walked towards the cashier to pay the bills but it appears Olivia did it for her before she left.
She was worried about the woman, even though she was trying to hide it, but the look of desperation and sadness was something she wouldn’t fake, it was genuine.
What could have possibly happened while she was away?
Zane decided to walk to the company to exercise and have time for herself for a while. It didn’t take her a long time to arrive at the shortcut to Nicholas’s company, she was preoccupied while walking that she didn't even know how she still got there safely in one piece.
Nicholas was walking with a group of men in tow, they were trying to butter him up and earn his favor. He did not even rea
CHAPTER 26 APPEASE His father was like a father itself to Nicholas and he would then have a lot of time with Nicholas, they were friends, but he didn’t want to use this to make it look like he was important. He was only working at the company of the Alpha King because he didn’t want to get married yet. His mate rejected him after thinking he was a simple worker, so he would rather look for someone who would love him regardless. Mikhael took a gander at the couple who had now reconciled, Zane pouted her lips, and while Nicholas grinned at her and placed his hand around her shoulder before they walked away. “Ahh, I wish I had her life.” the youngest worker said and looked like she was daydreaming with an idiotic grin on her face. Her life? Mikh

It would be Zane’s first time to be here so Nicholas wanted her to experience how they make the wine that his men would then export all throughout the globe. His business had been expanding fo

READ AT YOUR OWN RISKS!YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!“Does he have a name?” Zane asked while staring at the child, her heart pumped so fast as she thought of her child, unconsciously, Zane caressed her empty stomach and her eyes clouded with tears.“Dear” Nicholas called and reached out to hold her by the shoulders, Zane looked up at her husband as he raised his hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, taking the unshed tears with his thumb.“We will stay here whilst we find a suitable family for the child, let my wife take care of the pup, for now, have someone assist her and teach her the way
CHAPTER 28 GRIEF “I am slowly getting better, I have lived the past 5 years without him. I will always love him and I treasure the memories we had with each other. But, it’s better if I stop loving him. Then I will be at peace.” Zane nodded her head and squeezed her hands. “Have you ever resented him for not explaining to you?” “I would rather have it that way, where I can paint a better picture where he simply forgot or loved someone else, and that it was the end of whatever relationship we have, coward? But that’s the only thing I could do. I would rather hurt myself than break a child’s heart because of my selfishness.” Jiane is a product of a broken family, and she promised that she would never do something where someone out there would experience what she did.
CHAPTER 28 GRIEF “This is where they pick the best seeds to plant and there are different kinds of seed, some are made for stronger and much higher alcohol levels, and there are also perfect times, day and month to plant them. This month is where the sweet ones are at their ripest and perfect state. We will plant them at the field that I asked them to plow when we arrive.” Nicholas showed her different types of seeds, taught her the basics, and then brought her to the field. “Today we will have two rows each and plant as much as we can, then once we are through, we will go to the other side and pick the ones in the best state. We will return to this field next year and make them into wine, then repeat this every year. Are you up for it, love?” Nicholas thinks that it would be great practice and experience. This way they will be able t
CHAPTER 29 PROMISE “Oh shut it, Nicholas Bane Wyatt!” Zane said in annoyance, she walked a little farther than him and sounded angry, however, her crimson face failed her and the small smile on her face was evident that she was feeling good. “If the missus says so, this humble and obedient husband can only oblige.” Zane rolled her eyes and went to the living hall first, if she stayed longer beside the man with her current state, teasing was not the only thing her husband might do. She knows him, he might do something ambiguous, she was still looking forward to winemaking, if they do something now, she might not be able to move swiftly later with a sore back and waist. Nicholas grinned at the sight of her fleeing from him, then he followed her to the hall, only to see her preparing the tab
CHAPTER 29 PROMISENicholas smiled and pulled her to his embrace and chuckled. “My love is not that vulnerable for my wife to worry about me.”He joked, but Zane knew just how cold his fingertips were that he was only trying to make her feel better.After a few minutes, they decided to return to work and proceeded with the wine-making. It was 3 in the afternoon already, Nicholas brought Zane to the other side of the field and they each had a basket and tools of their own. There are different kinds of wine that you could ferment and store for a longer time and shorter periods. As long as it is stored correctly and taken care of by professionals, the wine going bad would have little to no chance.First, they would have to harvest ripe grapes and the couple who was meticulous with th

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! That was to say, Nicholas was very picky with his liquor, he didn't care if it was cheap or expensive, as long as it managed to satisfy him, then he would buy it. Every rich consumer was like that, although some people are snobbish and would only drink from luxurious brands, but Zane and Nicholas were not. “Done?” “Yes.” Nicholas had already finished what he had to do at the cellar. “Let’s visit the beach first tomorrow morning,” Nicholas said. They were supposed to do it today after all but things happened and now th
