LOGINNATHALIE'S POV š
–
Harrison removed the bracelet and then handed it to me.
“I don’t have two billion dollars.” I reminded him.
“If you only had two billion dollars, would you buy this from me?”
“Yes!” I quickly replied. “If I had two point five billion dollars, I would buy it from you. I would spend every last cent I have on that bracelet.” After I said that, I smiled frugally and
NATHALIE'S POV š–After I talked to Sapphire on the video call, she went to her room to sleep.Xander was already fast asleep in our bed too.Right now I’m in the front room, waiting for Tyler to wrap up his call on the other line before we talk.It wasn’t long before he came back in front of the laptop camera.“Sorry for the wait.”“It’s okay. Is that your father?”“Yes, but no need to think about what we were talking about.”“Sorry, Ty.”Tyler brought us and my kids to their place once, to introduce us to his parents and for Sapphire’s sake, but things didn’t turn out well.Tyler got into an argument with his parents over me and my kids—all because he stood up for us.He and his father have problems again now, which I think are because of me once more.His fathe
CALIX'S POVš–“Harrison, I don’t want to be like my parents. They stay together without love, got married just because they had a child, and my entire life, I’ve been paying for the misery of their relationship.”All he did was nod. He known for ages what I’m trying to say with my words.“But... While I’m with Nathie and Xander, I’ve been feeling something strange. It’s like I’m longing for them. I wanted to be with them. I thought at first I just felt l*st for Nathalie–”“You bastard, what did you say?” he cut in sharply. “What are you talking about lust for Nathalie?!”“About the bone marrow transplant...” and I told him the offer I made to Nathalie.With a violent jerk, he stood up and sent the glass table crashing to the flo
CALIX’S POV š–After Nathalie closed her apartment door, I didn’t leave. I hung around for a few minutes, trying to come up with an excuse so she’d let me go inside her apartment, but nothing came to mind.I let out a sigh, stepped away from her apartment door, and made my way to the elevator.While waiting for the elevator to open, I took my phone out of my pocket.Seeing all the messages and missed calls from Veronica made me sigh again. When I made the decision to go to this apartment complex where Nathalie resides, despite not knowing how to approach her or what to say, I put my phone on silent mode.Upon the elevator’s opening, I entered and concealed my phone. When it opened again, I got out and went straight to my car.I pulled out my phone once more, opened the gallery,
NATHALIE’S POV š–I turned my eyes to the rear-view mirror and repeated my question.Without looking at the rear-view mirror, he answered my question, “Yes. I happened to see you and Xander outside your apartment building. I happened to be passing by that place for a business meeting, “ he explained. “I didn’t even know you lived there.” He added.Well, either way. I shouldn’t jump to conclusions he went there on purpose for me and my little one.I made no comment nor showed any reaction to her response; rather, I redirected my focus to the view outside the window.I turned my gaze to the sky as thunder boomed out of nowhere.There aren’t any bright stars in the sky; just the moon all by itself up there.A sound suddenly filled the inside of this vehicle as my phone rang.With my bag on that side, I carefully maneuvered my left hand
NATHALIE’S POV š–As soon as we got to the supermarket, Calix put Xander down first, and then I took hold of my kid’s hand.“I’ll push the cart.” Calix offered before I could even approach and get one.Before I could answer, he went to the cart and got a big one.“Come on, let’s pick out some food,” Calix invited, as if he were the one buying.I nodded, and after that, my kid and I were the first to walk off.We went to the meat section first. I got all kinds of meat. Next came the beverages.“Mommy, I want this.” Xander pointed to his favorite healthy drink so I right away got it.I also get our necessities; like fresh juice in cartons, energy drinks and water for me, coffee, healthy beverages for the kids, and especially fresh milk for my children as well.“Little one, do you want anything else here?
NATHALIE’S POV š–“Mommy, Uncle, it’s beautiful here!” Xander exclaimed happily after we left the 5D attraction.Xander was restless with indoor stuff since there were no physical activities involved. I told explained he can’t do tiring sports or play tiring right now.My son understood his situation, but as a child I could see he couldn’t help but feel sad.That’s why we switched to the second spot Calix had in mind for us to go to; it’s the 5D Space & Time Cube.This is an interactive art museum with 720-degree holographic technology, naked-eye 3D, and curated themes. A highlight is its 9D fantasy cinema.I kept my eyes on Calix once he was level with my child’s height.“Kiddo, did you enjoy it?”“Yes, uncle handsome! I enjoyed it so much!”“Oh, that’s wonderful! I’m havin
