تسجيل الدخولTYLER’S POV 🍃
-
After dropping Nathalie off, I headed straight to the bar to meet my friend, Dashiell.
“Is this place really necessary for us to meet?” I questioned him as I came to the bar counter.
“What the heck, dude?” he roared with laughter, firing back a silly question that didn’t make much sense.
“We can meet at the office.”
He laughed loudly again. “You’re scared when you’re in
NATHLIE’S POV 🍃-I let Tyler cry endlessly against my waist, waiting for him to stop.I never wanted to see him like this again, especially because of me.“Ty...” I said, breaking the silence as his sobs subsided.He stayed wrapped around my waist. He moved his face away from my waist.“You’re important to me... I can’t stand you being like this because of me. And if I don’t do this, there’s a chance you’ll never be free.” I swallowed hard, before continuing. “It’s better if end our friendship that’s we already ruined.”His eyes snapped toward me.It pained my heart to see Tyler’s eyes so red, brimming with wetness, and traces of dried tears on his face.I removed his embrace from my waist.I rose and reached into the drawer to take the ring he’d given me.When I looked back at him, he was already standing. His eyes were pleading through tears.I stepped closer.
NATHLIE’S POV 🍃-“What happened there?” Tyler asked as we entered the kitchen. “Why is the fridge like that? Where did that dent come from?”“Oh, that? I was cleaning and accidentally dropped the chair heavily against it. That’s why the fridge looks like that.” I gave the same excuse again, just as I had told Donna before.That was what happened when Calix slammed the chair against the fridge.If he had struck it twice that night, he would surely have completely ruined the fridge.“Does that still work? Do you want me to buy a new one tomorrow?” Tyler asked concernedly, then sat down.“There’s no need to buy a new one. The fridge still works perfectly, it just looks broken because the door is dented.”“Are you sure?”“Hm-hm. Don’t worry about that, Ty. Let’s eat. I’ve
NATHLIE’S POV 🍃-[“We’re heading straight to the hotel where Dashiell and I will be staying. We’ll leave off our things there, then Sapphire and I will head over to your place.”]“All right, Ty. Be careful. Say hello to Dashiell from me.”Then I hang up the call.Tyler brought his friend Dashiell along. We can’t all be together in this place.I haven’t met Dashiell in person yet, but I’ve talked to him on video calls when he happens to be at the apartment while I’m talking to Tyler and Sapphire.Sapphire told me that Dashiell was kind, and he was her second-favorite uncle. That put me at ease about her coming to my apartment — as long as Tyler was there too.“Mommy, why isn’t Dada and Sapphire here yet?” Xander asked.“They’ll both be here soon. Let’s set the table so we can eat with them as soon as they arrive.”“Ye-hey! I’m excited to see them!”“Me too, my Little one. I’m so excited that we’ll all be together.”My happiness doubles every time I think and mention that we will all
NATHLIE’S POV 🍃-“Harrison... your joke isn’t funny.”“But you’re smiling.” he said laughing. “But seriously, I’m telling you the truth. That’s exactly why Attorney Steel wants to speak with Calix.”“How did that happen...? It’s not legal? Does that mean they’re not really married, right?”“It seems like that.”“I don’t understand. How did that happen? Everyone knows... Calix even used to boast about it back then, saying Veronica was his wife,” I murmured, bewildered. Before I knew it, I was smiling. “How did things… turn out like this?” “Well, it’s like this, Nat...”He explained to me what Anthony had told him.“If you want to check whether I’m telling the truth, you can talk to Attorney Steel. But, it’s better not to talk to him about this matter.”“Why not?” I want to know everything.“He keeps this from everyone because of the arrangement he has with Calix. Like I said, he was forced and had no choice but to tell me about this matter.”In that wave of happiness, I felt myself
NATHLIE’S POV 🍃-“Um... I... see... oh...” I responded absently, barely registering what I was saying.“What reaction is that, Nathalie? It’s like... what... I don’t know... Are you thinking about something after hearing what I told you about their past?”“Nothing.” I lied.The truth is, I suddenly found myself wondering... during the time Calix and I were together, was there still room in his heart for Veronica? Could Brianna really be the only reason why he couldn’t let Veronica go back then?And now... I wonder if it still remains?Only Calix can answer the questions that I want to know the answer to. But how will I ever find out? I’m not allowed to call him, and he doesn’t remember any of it.“Are you sure?” Chloe asked again.“Yes.” I answered briefly.“I guess that makes s
NATHLIE’S POV 🍃-“H-Ha?” I stammered, unable to utter another word.My blood seemed to run cold, and I paled at what I heard.If they’ve had feelings for each other since way back, I could understand that. But all this time, Veronica has had a place in Calix’s heart?“At one point, Veronica became our friend, and… once in Calix's life, cared for Veronica more than anyone and he liked her so deeply.”Liked her so deeply? Yes, because Veronica, it was his first love.“At first, Veronica was kind to all of us. It just changed when...”Chloe sighed.“When she was taken to the hospital,” she continued. “After that incident, Veronica changed. It’s maddening, downright exasperating. She always knows exactly how to anger me. As for Calix, he loves her so deeply that he’s far too blind to see the tr
VERONICA’S POV-“Hi, Mrs. Beatrice.” I greeted her warmly as I approached. “You look even more beautiful.” I flattered her just to show I'm happy to see her. “Thank you, Veronica. You’re beautiful too. By the way, congratulations. I heard you’re a candidate for The Edison Achievement Award.”I smi
NATHALIE’S POV-We got to L.A. fast because we flew in a private jet, which Sir Calix told me his cousin lent him. Furthermore, the airport at which we landed is owned by said cousin, ensuring a seamless and VIP-esque departure.I was taken aback to discover that his cousin actually owns one of th
NATHALIE’S POV-Roused from my slumber, I checked the time on my phone. A mere fifteen minutes had passed since Sir Calix and I had settled into bed, following our intimate moments in the walk-in closet.I lifted my shirt to check the kisses he had made and as expected he left many kiss marks on m
NATHALIE’S POV-It was already night when we got back from the rest house so we decided to go back to L.A. tomorrow afternoonHarrison carefully gathered Brianna into his arms, her small body limp with sleep. He carried her to our room, our steps soft, and laid her down with infinite gentleness.“
