LOGINNATHALIE’S POV đ
-
Following Xander’s meal, we talked with him, gradually helping to diminish the anxiety he was experiencing, and then he went to sleep.
Sapphire had once again dozed off on the sofa, her head now resting on my lap, using it as a pillow.
“Nathalie, why don’t you eat first?” Tyler suggested gently, his voice soft.
“Sorry, Ty. I don’t feel like eating.” I answered in a weak voice.
“
NATHALIE’S POV đ-I heard Mrs. Nova’s sigh on the other line. [“It’s disappointing you’re terminating this contract. Actually, you presented a good sample from the beginning, so I’m glad to work with you and I can see your dedication. But, there’s nothing I can do if that’s what you want. I’ll send you the termination contract. I hope I can work with you again next time.”]“Thank you very much for understanding my situation, Mrs. Nova.”Then she hung up.“Mrs. Nova?”I turned to Tyler who had just entered our bedroom. He was wearing a bathrobe, his hair still damp.“She’s Calix’s business partner at the restaurant that’s your client, right?”“Yes, she is. I requested a termination contract so I won’t have to work with Calix anymore.”“Did they both a
NATHALIE’S POV đ-After picking out our wedding attire, we stopped for dinner out, then returned home.Once my two children were fast asleep, I stepped out of Brianna’s room and found Tyler standing right outside the door.“I was going to say goodnight to the kids too.”“Alright then. I’ll see you in the room,” I said, heading there first.It didn’t take long until Tyler walked in and settled beside me.I used one of his arms as a pillow, then he hugged me, facing me. I, on the other hand, was facing the ceiling.“What happened earlier in the E.R.? I saw Calix come out of there.”I told him every detail of what happened, except for the things Calix had explained about his past and the plans he intended to carry out.“Restraining order?”I felt his hard chest panting.“Why, Ty? What’
NATHALIE’S POV đ-“Ty, Mrs. Quinn messaged me. We could still go to her office to choose what we’ll wear for our wedding.”“Alright then, let’s be on our way—wait,” he unfastened his seatbelt and turned his gaze toward us—to me. “Why, aren’t you wearing your engagement ring?”He was referring to the engagement ring he gave me six months ago.When he threw the ring away, I picked it up and set it aside. I only remembered I’d kept it as he tried to buy me another one.“Sorry, I’m still not used to wearing jewelry like this, I keep forgetting to wear it. I’m so sorry, Ty.”“No problem. The important thing is you didn’t lose it,” he joked...When we arrived at Mrs. Quinn’s company, she led us to what seemed like a secret room filled with countless beautiful dresses
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
