Chapter- 54
Nick is traveling to Miami and Los Vegas for some business. Naomi is sad but she didn’t show it on her face. She just stood beside the foot of the bed and watching him packing his stuff.
“I will be back soon,” he said noticing the apparent sadness in her face.
“Okay,” she smiles.
“And stay at your father’s home, okay,” he said and she nods in assurance.“I would have taken you with me but I am not going for a normal trip.
“Okay,” she nods and went to him.
“You have to be safe,” she said caressing his hair.
“Don’t worry about me,” he smiles and his hands were resting on her butt.
He’s going to leave in two hours and Naomi has something important to tell him but she hesitates to open that up at this time. She wants to reveal it at a perfect moment so she chose to be silent.
“I just have an hour left
Chapter- 55Naomi is sitting in the garden silently and she didn’t look anywhere except her phone. Her thoughts were all on Nick. She’s waiting for the call from Jorge.That time, Julia came with coffee and some potato chips.“Nat, you didn’t eat anything? At least have this coffee,” she said.Naomi finally realized that she should eat, at least for her baby. So she got that mug and sipped the coffee.She looked dull more than she ever was.Nick was shot two times, in the shoulder and chest. It’s critical but he survived. Obviously, the person responsible for this is Andrei.“Nat. I know my brother, he’s such a strong person so don’t worry, okay,”She nods but nothing can comfort her at this time. It’s only Nick, his voice and his assurance that he’s okay are what she’s yearning for right now.“You know what Julia. I am so afraid right now,
Chapter- 56 Everyone’s eyes were fixed at the doorstep where Nick stood, not in his usual brisk. His injuries were covered by the jacket he’s wearing. Even though his face is utterly dull, he managed to plaster a smile for everyone’s sake of happiness. His eyes for Naomi and when he spotted her near stairs, his smile grew wider turning into a happy grin. She’s staring at him back with a smile, it gave him a comfort at last after all that he endured in the past two days. All his family members were there. Magnus has cut off his trip short to see his best friend. He was so worried and completely angry at Andrei. At the time he’s so happy to know that he’s going to be an Uncle soon. “Why everyone looking at me like that?” he asks. “I am alright,” He walked in holding his father’s hand. Naomi can’t help but feel gloomy to see him. “For a few more days. Don’t hug me,” Nick warned them with a smile. Julia and his mom were one’s who hi

Chapter- 58Naomi is sitting on the small chair before her wardrobe and looking at which dress to wear for Magnus-Lisa’s engagement party tomorrow. This is the first party that they were going to attend after Nick came home.Nick came in and stood next to her after finishing off some work in his office. “What are you looking at?” He asks. His voice sounded tired and he placed his hand on her shoulder.“My clothes aren’t fitting me anymore so I am looking at which one I should wear for tomorrow,” she said.“Can I give you a suggestion?” he asks. “Sure, you can,” Naomi smiles. Nick took a moment and pointed out a yellow dress. “This would be great on you,” he said.“Thanks,” Naomi likes his choice and looks up to meet his eyes. He just simply put her at ease. Being pregnant isn’t that easy as she always stressing out about everythin
Two years later“Mermaid,” Nick’s voice made her stir up from her sleep. But she didn’t open her eyes thinking this is her dream. “Wake up, mermaid. Look at your kingdom,” he chuckled softly.Naomi smiled, still thinking this is a dream.“Darling open your eyes and look at this ocean. Don’t waste time sleeping here,” he said and yes, she could hear the sound of the ocean.Naomi left a small sigh and opened her eyes to look at the blue sea from the window.She smiles and her gaze turns to Nick.“Isn’t that beautiful?” he asks. “Yes,” she nods smiling at him.“Now, wake up. I want to go there with you,” he said.“Give me five minutes, please,” she requested, squinting her eyes. He can’t deny it when she does that expression.“Fine,”When he was about to get up, sh
Loving the Mafia HeirChapter- 1“Meet you on Monday,” Lisa says as she and Naomi came out of their class after discussing their new assignment with which they were partnered.“Sure,” Naomi gave a smile. “What’s your plan for the evening?”“Nothing, you know Nicholas is having a match so everyone went there to see it and my mom will be picking me up at the entrance,”“You are going to watch the match?” she asks.“Yeah,” Naomi nodded with no enthusiasm.“Enjoy then, bye,” Lisa smiles as she walks to her car. This is the first time they are having a proper conversation since middle school.Naomi has either surrounded by her brothers or by books. She didn’t get any interest to make friendships with others when her brothers occupied most of her free time in the house and in school. They are e
The dinner is at Magnus’s favorite restaurant, all of them have gathered to celebrate the victory. His father has booked the entire place for the night. After that embarrassing moment, Naomi stayed silent and didn’t put on her hearing aid.The adults sat together at a table and they occupied the other seats. She looked at Nicholas and Magnus chatting busily about the match. Through their lip-sync, she understood Nick was telling how he managed to knock out the players and it’s gruesome how describes it so Naomi turned down and looked at the table.Seeing her dull face, Jorge whispers, “What’s this sad face? Are you still angry at him?”“What?” she turned to him.“Put your hearing aid,” he says and she did. Then he said that again.“No, I am not feeling good,”“Tell me what’s bothering you?” he asks.Naomi gave in easily, “It’s Nick. H
“Mom, I am going to Julia’s home,” Naomi said to her mother who’s in her study room, working on her new novel. Naomi is a great fan of her mom’s book, she loves all the male characters, they are so dreamlike and charming. Her all-time favorite is Victor, Ashley’s debut novel Hero. He’s a great character, and over the years she somewhat understood that it’s based on her father. Till now, she didn’t meet such a type of person in her life but it would be great if she finds a guy who’s attractive like the heroes in her mom’s novel. “Okay dear,” she first nodded but then turned her attention to Naomi, “Are you sure? Because last time, Nick and you had a fight. I can’t see you sad like that,” she said removing her glasses. “Mom, that’s fine. I won’t mind him this time,” she says confidently. “Why don’t you ask Julia to come here?” her mom suggested. “No, mom. I am fine. She has exams tomorrow and she’s preparing for them. Nothing like last time will
