I got out of the car and went straight into the building. As I arrived in the living room, there was no one there. So I went upstairs to my parents' bedroom and knocked on their door. I rarely did this, but here I was, standing and knocking on their room door, all because I wanted to tell them about the injustice Nathan had done to Adira. It took less than a minute, and the door to the room was opened by my mother, who was wearing a night gown that was made using silk materials.The pale look on her face, including the dark circles beneath her eyes, made me frown and feel unhappy. “Mom. What about Dad? Isn't he in the room with you?”. I asked her.“Kai? What are you doing here this late? I didn't know that you were coming over here”. She said to me with a smile. But I could easily tell that it was a forced smile. She hasn't been able to sleep properly because of Adira. Other than that, ever since Nathan divorced Adira, she has not been in a good mood because Adira had not apolog
Nathan's pov,“What was with that commotion, Rodriguez? Can't you see that it's night? Who were you busy shouting and raising your voice at?”. My mother asked my father, but instead of replying to her, my father glared at me, since he was facing my direction. My mother naturally noticed that my father's gaze was fixed elsewhere, so she traced the source and turned around, thus seeing me.I saw the way her eyes widened in disbelief, displaying how surprised she was to see me. I have not visited the villa for a month. Besides, she had no idea that I was coming to the villa after all. “Nathan?”. My name escaped from her lips, before the frown on her face disappeared, and she smiled at me. She approached me and stood in front of me. “I didn't know that you were visiting today. Why didn't you inform me? I would have asked the chefs to prepare you your favorite dishes”. She said to me. “I had to come because my father wanted to see me. Most especially, I came here today because I wanted
Adira's pov,It was 7pm, and I was awake staring at my laptop that was on the light wooden table. While staring at my laptop screen, I also stared at the gold wristwatch in my hand. I had put the wristwatch up for sale this evening after much thought about it, because I needed enough money to leave the city and go to Cindaly. I have been staying at Aunt Becky's house for an entire month, and since she and Joseph had noticeably helped me heal my wounds, I decided it was time for me to move on and become the greatest version of myself. I wasn't in any way ready to return to Glems' company to work there. Rather, I had decided to establish myself and be recognized by the public. Because as a successful jeweler who once worked in the Glems company, only my creations were highly recognized. But the jewelries' creator, me, was barely recognized. And what better way to do that if not going to Cindaly? There was a particular company in Cindaly built especially for jewelers like myself.
It took a while before I arrived at the Villa with Valentina. As I parked the car and switched off the car's engine, I turned to Valentina and saw that she was sound asleep. And seeing that, I didn't want to disturb her by waking her up. In the end, I decided not to wake her up. I got out of the car and went to the other side of the car, opening the door to the front seat and removing the seat belt from her body, before I carried her in my strong arms and went into the building. Upon arriving in the living room, the strict face of my father greeted me. The same strict face I had always been scared of, but not anymore. I had grown not to be scared of him after I followed his wishes and got married to Adira. As a result, it ruined two years of my life. I didn't know what he hated about Valentina. Why couldn't he accept her the same way he accepted Adira? Why could Adira become my wife but not Valentina? Was it because Valentina was an actress? But an actress is also a human bein
“Come on, babe. Let's go”. He said to me as he helped me to stand up from the sofa. As we both walked all the way to the exit door, Nathan halted instead of opening the door. His hesitation made me begin to wonder to myself. Before I could ask him any questions or say anything to him, he said to me, “Aren't you tired? Should I carry you instead?”. I paused and looked at him for a while, before I hit his shoulder with my slender hand. “How nice of you, Natty. But I'm only pregnant, not sick”. I said to him, but he strongly insisted, making me have no choice but to agree with him. He carried me in his arms, and we left the office together, heading to the parking lot where his Kloplin car was. One of the most luxurious cars there was in the entire world. He entered the elevator with me, where we saw some of the employees, who couldn't stop staring at us. I didn't mind them staring at Nathan and me, because sooner or later, Nathan and I were going to become a married couple. They
Valentina's pov, The door to Nathan's office shut after Kai left. I stopped hugging Nathan and looked into his eyes. “I am sorry, Natty. Because of me, you got injured and your friendship with Kai ended”. I said to him and helped him wipe off the blood stain on his lips, before I lowered my gaze all the way to the ground. Nathan lifted my face, before he placed his hand on the side of my cheek and caressed it. “It's alright, babe. It's not your fault. So, don't blame yourself, before you end up hurting our baby”. He sweetly said to me and I nodded at him with a pretend forced smile. So many things have changed during the past month... After that fateful day when I woke up next to Nathan in bed. Although he kept his distance from me the first week after that day, he came over the following week and apologized to me, stating that something unpleasant spoiled his mood that day. I was glad that I wasn't responsible for souring his mood. Also, it was then that he told me tha
