MasukNATHALIE’S POV 🍃-“I don’t believe–”“I had an accident,” he interrupted my accusation. “A minor accident, but the findings showed I was on illegal drugs. They claimed that… I was out of my senses once more, that I wasn’t in my right mind… that I was losing my mind... that I’m crazy.”“Enough of your lies, Calix. Don’t use that situation of yours on m–”“Before they took me to the psychiatric hospital, I saw you, outside our mansion. I was taken away in a black van that time.”He was inside then… there?“When I saw you, I wanted nothing more than to come to you. I fought with everything I had, wild and desperate, but I couldn’t break free—I was bound too tightly. They injected me with something to make me sleep, and when I woke up, I was in…”
NATHALIE'S POV 🍃-"Where is my daughter? Her name is Brianna Davies," I frantically asked the nurse at the nurses' station.."She's in the emergency room right now. Currently–""Where is the emergency room?"The nurse pointed us in the direction, which I immediately followed."Nathalie, not that way. This is the way we were instructed," Tyler said, carrying Xander.He took my hand gently and softly led me toward the ER."You two stay here for now. The ER isn’t good for Xander’s health," I mentioned."Okay. I'll take care of Xander."I hurried into the ER.Before I could look around, I saw Calix."Where is my daughter?!" I asked him fiercely, moving right up to him."Someone is going to hurt me! Mommy, help me!"I followed Brianna's voice, and saw her in the hospital bed.The doctor and nurses tried to soothe Brianna. She was b
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-“Don’t ask for forgiveness if you cannot love me,” hs said in a lighthearted. “I understand why your heart can’t love me. You don’t owe me an apology, and you certainly shouldn’t feel bad about it.”He gently cupped my face. Hs eyes warm with a smile. “Let’s make something nice for the children, maybe it’ll lift their spirits when they wake.”“All you need to do is get the ingredients ready,” I teased.“We can’t keep this up. I’ll help cook. Teach me, and I’ll do it for us next time.”“After all, you know how to make pancakes and you often know how to fry.”“And next time, I’ll cook better than you,” He meant every word, but the next moment we were both laughing.“I’m serious, Nathalie! Wait till I master cooking. My food will be even tastier than yours!”I just nodded, playing along.“Alright, let’s go to the kitchen now, so you can surpass my cooking skills,” I chuckled, and we walked toward the kitchen together.“Ty, can you get the salmon from the freezer for m
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-“Ty...” I called, and he turned his head toward me.I shook my head. Motioning for him to let Brianna do what she wanted.I lifted Xander in my arms while Tyler approached me.“Let me carry Xander,” he murmured softly.I gave Xander to Tyler first.My attention shifted to Calix as he drew near to Brianna.Calix dropped to one knee before Brianna, making sure they were eye-to-eye.“Baby...” his voice trembling.“Ty, please go ahead with Xander to the car, or wait for Brianna and me on the first floor,” I whispered.“Are you sure?” he asked in a soft voice.“Yes. I don’t want Xander to see what might happen to Brianna. She might end up crying nonstop,” I reasoned. “I don’t know how to explain to Xander if he sees Brianna cry because of Calix.”That might happen... but my other reason I’m doing this... is Calix. I can’t seem to bear to have someone else see him on his weak side.“If that’s what you want.” He smiled warmly at me, then stepped out of the VIP room.“Papa
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-“I’m very pleased with the sample design you did, Miss Davies,” Mrs. Nova complimented me once I presented the layout.“I won’t approve this,” said Mrs. Nova’s business partner in the restaurant, Mr. Zander Calix Watson. “Change all the fonts, the design, the colors — everything, including the logo design.”“Are you sure, Mr. Calix?” Mrs. Nova asked him.“Yes,” Calix said coldly and handed me back my iP*d. “It’s too hard on the eyes, difficult to read , and your photo editing doesn’t create an appealing look.”I took my iP*d, smiled at him and said professionally. “I’ll submit another sample layout tomorrow morning.”After that, I looked toward Mrs. Nova. “Would it be alright if I submitted a revised layout design first, Mrs. Nova?”“I think instead of me, you should send it to Mr. Calix’s email, Miss Davies.” Mrs. Nova suggested.“No problem.”“I cannot consent that,” Calix appealed. “I have traveled from Los Angeles to Florida for the sole purpose of seeing every
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-‘How sweet? Sitting under the stars and moon?’‘Don’t you dare keep staring at him.’‘Why did you agree to let him kiss and hug you?’‘My love.’I stood up and left the room after reading the unread messages from last night.I stepped onto the balcony, looked at the balconies next to us, then scanned the area down below.“Nathalie?”My phone slipped right out of my hands when Tyler’s voice reached my ears.“Nathalie?” He asked worriedly as he called.He came rushing to my side, asking gently, “Why have you gone so pale?”He stroked my forehead while holding my hand. “Your hand is stiff. Did something happen?”His eyes fell… upon my phone.On instinct, I grabbed my phone fast before his hand could reach it.&
NATHALIE’S POV-I don’t know how long I’ve been sitting under the table.Sir Calix’s office table is quite long, allowing me to sit cross-legged comfortably without bumping my knees against it, yet I find myself slouching.After Hazel and Francis left this place earlier, I immediately came out of
NATHALIE’S POV-I placed the flowers on my daughter’s grave.I stroked her name as if my hand were holding her.‘I met your father…’ I said to her, ‘I’m sorry, sweetheart. Your father doesn’t know about you... yet.’Lost in time, I stared at my child’s grave, nearly forgetting Chloe had even accom
NATHALIE’S POV-This time around, I woke up early. I managed to cook breakfast and get myself ready before Mom woke up.I knocked three times on the door of her room then went inside.My timing was spot on; I came in as she was just starting to sit up, so I supported her.“Don’t worry about me,”
NATHALIE’S POV-I turned to look at him. I found him already watching me, his eyes speaking volumes without uttering a word.“What do I need to do to fix this between us?”“Sir, I’m here for Brianna. My only reason for being here is to ensure she isn’t taken away from you. That’s it.”“It’s okay i
