Enora:

I stayed in my room all day while Nathan was downstairs talking to law enforcement. A few times, I would sneak to the top of the stairs and would eavesdrop on the conversation. I needed to know if Nathan was serious about pressing charges against Bridget.

But no matter how hard I listened, I couldn’t understand the legal jargon. I was a sitting duck and was still clueless by the time the police and lawyers left my home.

“Enora? What are you doing here?”

Nathan had come up the stairs and saw me sitting on the top staircase, my knees pressed to my chest and my head buried.

I couldn’t bring myself to look at him. His arm was in a sling and now I felt responsible for it all, somehow.

“Enora?”

He raised my head gently and his weak smile faded and was replaced with a stiff look. His thumb grazed my cheek and wiped a tear that was streaming down my face. I didn’t even know that I had been crying. There was just so much that was going on and I was struggling to wrap my head around it

    Enora:His jaw dropped, his eyes widened and my chest tightened. I had to. I couldn’t accept. I was scared, skeptical. “Why? Did I do something wrong?” he asked. “No. I… I’m just worried.”“About what?”I took a deep breath, but I was still trembling. “Dakota, her proposal… I want to be sure that you aren’t asking me to marry you because you want to capitalize on her proposal.”He said nothing.“Is this part of it? Are you doing this for the business or because you actually want to be with me?”“Enora–”He took my hand and squeezed it. “–I love you and I’ve always wanted to be with you. I want to marry you. The business thing is just an added perk.”“Added perk?”I pulled my hands away and looked at him in disbelief.“No. I’m sorry. It… It came out wrong…”“No,” I said, standing up and wiping a tear that was streaming down my face. “It came out exactly the way it was meant to. Marrying me is just a means to an end, isn’t it?”Hearing the words from my mouth made me tremble. They h

    Nathan:We got out of the car and I carried her bridal style to the building. She pouted and kissed my cheek. “You know that you don’t have to carry me. I can walk on my own.”I grinned. “It’s practice. I have to make sure that I can carry you on our wedding day.”Her mouth opened and clamped shut. Her face burned red and she buried her face in my neck. There is no way I was going to leave her single, carrying my child. “Why are you hiding?”“I’m not hiding,” she mumbled, burying her face further into my neck. I chuckled and held her up with one arm as I fished for my keys in my pocket. Her skin was so soft and the smell of the alcohol clung to her. It was a different scent on her but intoxicating all the same. Too bad that she couldn’t drink any alcohol. I missed the taste of wine and champagne off her lips.The door opened and I turned on the lights. The room was illuminated and I walked to the sofa. Enoar tried to get off, but I pulled her onto my lap as she sat down. “You ar

    Enora:I went back to the VIP room and all attention was on me. Nathan and Jasper stopped playing their poll and both looked at me with worried expressions. Everyone wanted to say something, but everyone was lip-tight. “I’m alright. She just wanted to talk,” I said calmly, slipping back into my seat next to Nicki. Nathan’s face looked terribly pale. Could I really blame him? His daughter had rejected him in front of everyone. My chest tightened as I remembered what Bridget said about her father not caring. Nathan was strict but at the end of the day, he wanted to raise Bridget well. I couldn’t believe it when he told me that his ex wife would have been even more strict with Bridget. I always thought her to be a very calm and flowery individual, even though no one had really met her because she died when Bridget was very young. “Uhmm… What’s the score?” I asked Jay, shifting the attention from me to the game that Nathan and Jasper had started so furiously. “He’s winning,”Jasper sai

    Enora:I choked on my drink and coughed hard. How did she even know I was here? I looked around at everyone in the room but they were just as shocked as I was. “Bridget, are you…”Nathan walked up to her and tried to touch her but she shrugged him away and gave him an acid glare. She walked past him and walked straight up to me. My hand holding the rest of my drink began to tremble. Her face looked tired and worn out. Her clothes were far from the fashionable stuff she used to wear and she looked pale and almost sickly. What had been happening to her?“I need to talk to you. Enora. Alone and in private.”I looked over her shoulder at Nathan. His jaw was clenched tight. Jasper gave me a knowing nod. Everyone else was silent. Emily hid her face in Luke’s chest and Nicki focused on her nails. I had put off responding to her messages for a while. I guess there was nothing that I could do about it now. I set my drink down and we went over to a quiet corner. She shook her head, frowning

    Nathan:I listened attentively as Nicki told me about the goth movement. Everyone was soon wrapped up in our little conversation and every now and then, I caught Enora looking at me. I would throw her a wink and she would blush. I wasn’t that detached from the world. I had seen my fair share of it and it wasn’t hard to listen and read people. “Well, your hair style and movement do give you a unique personality. You should be proud of it.”Nicki’s face went red and she excused herself to go to the bathroom. I talked with Luke and Jay about electronics and business and gave Jay some tips to make his club business a little more successful. “You should get better music,” I stated. I had been listening to the dullest mix for about thirty minutes. Jay ran his hands through his hair and sighed. “I had the music changed before your arrival. I didn’t think that the music we used to play was up to your taste.”“What would you usually play?” I asked, and he immediately made a gesture to the

    Enora:Work went by quietly. Once again, I was forced to put my phone on silent and ignore any incoming texts and calls. Nathan was probably going to be angry about that but he would understand if I explained everything to him. Bridget’s message still kept replaying in my head. I still wished I knew more about the trouble she was in. Was it really that important that she couldn’t tell me about it over the phone or via text. I sighed. “I will text her back when I get home. There is no point in avoiding her anymore. “Time flew by and by the time I was on my last email, it was 5 pm. There was a hard knock at my door and before I could say anything, Nathan walked in. His face was hard, but not visibly angry. He was doing a good job not showing how annoyed he was.“I suppose there is a good reason for you not picking my calls,” he said, walking around my desk to where I sat and pulling me gently from my chair. He pressed me hard against his body and my face flushed as I felt his erec
