LOGINNATHALIE’S POV đ
-
My throat tightened and I swallowed as I spotted the hotel’s name where Tyler brought us.
Absolutely, the hotel he took us to is luxury-class with high security, being one of Chloe’s owned hotel branches.
“Your meeting will only be quick, right?” I asked Tyler with a bit of hesitation.
“Yes, especially if he agrees to immediately end the partnership. Is there a problem?”

NATHALIE’S POV đ-“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 đ-"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
NATHALIEâS POV đ-âDonât ask for forgiveness if you cannot love me,â hs said in a lighthearted. âI understand why your heart canât love me. You donât owe me an apology, and you certainly shouldnât feel bad about it.âHe gently cupped my face. Hs eyes warm with a smile. âLetâs make something nice for the children, maybe itâll lift their spirits when they wake.ââAll you need to do is get the ingredients ready,â I teased.âWe canât keep this up. Iâll help cook. Teach me, and Iâll do it for us next time.ââAfter all, you know how to make pancakes and you often know how to fry.ââAnd next time, Iâll cook better than you,â He meant every word, but the next moment we were both laughing.âIâm serious, Nathalie! Wait till I master cooking. My food will be even tastier than yours!âI just nodded, playing along.âAlright, letâs go to the kitchen now, so you can surpass my cooking skills,â I chuckled, and we walked toward the kitchen together.âTy, can you get the salmon from the freezer for m
NATHALIEâS POV đ-âTy...â 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.âLet me carry Xander,â 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.âBaby...â his voice trembling.âTy, please go ahead with Xander to the car, or wait for Brianna and me on the first floor,â I whispered.âAre you sure?â he asked in a soft voice.âYes. I donât want Xander to see what might happen to Brianna. She might end up crying nonstop,â I reasoned. âI donât know how to explain to Xander if he sees Brianna cry because of Calix.âThat might happen... but my other reason Iâm doing this... is Calix. I canât seem to bear to have someone else see him on his weak side.âIf thatâs what you want.â He smiled warmly at me, then stepped out of the VIP room.âPapa
NATHALIEâS POV đ-âIâm very pleased with the sample design you did, Miss Davies,â Mrs. Nova complimented me once I presented the layout.âI wonât approve this,â said Mrs. Novaâs business partner in the restaurant, Mr. Zander Calix Watson. âChange all the fonts, the design, the colors â everything, including the logo design.ââAre you sure, Mr. Calix?â Mrs. Nova asked him.âYes,â Calix said coldly and handed me back my iP*d. âItâs too hard on the eyes, difficult to read , and your photo editing doesnât create an appealing look.âI took my iP*d, smiled at him and said professionally. âIâll submit another sample layout tomorrow morning.âAfter that, I looked toward Mrs. Nova. âWould it be alright if I submitted a revised layout design first, Mrs. Nova?ââI think instead of me, you should send it to Mr. Calixâs email, Miss Davies.â Mrs. Nova suggested.âNo problem.ââI cannot consent that,â Calix appealed. âI have traveled from Los Angeles to Florida for the sole purpose of seeing every
NATHALIE’S POV đ-‘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.
