Enora:It was Thursday, and I was so happy that the week was coming to an end. Today was the second-to-last proceeding of Nathan's case, and the case was going to end on Monday.Finally, I would be able to spend some time with him, and the week wouldn't be so lonely.Since the day that Nathan showed me the picture of Jasper and Dakota together, I had kept a keen eye on him. I still talk to him like usual and tried my best to pry information from him. It's not like I was trying to be sneaky or anything, but I knew Dakota well enough to know that something had to be going on between them. This relationship couldn't be for the sake of love. It had to be some kind of arrangement. What the hell did Dakota say to Jasper that made him fall for her?I thought that was being paranoid, but Emily was even worse. She wouldn't stop bugging Jasper, and soon Jasper found himself avoiding Emily at every turn.Jay, Nicki, and Luke had told her to give it a rest, but for some reason, she seemed determi
Nathan:As soon as Enora slept off in my arms, I got up, left her room and went back to the study. I still had so much I needed to catch up on. Today was a good day, but we had to make sure that tomorrow was going to be even better.I was pouring through the files all over again and went through some new information that Frank sent me. Soon, my phone buzzed beside me. I saw the number and my heart skipped a beat. Why the hell was she calling me? Did she know that I had seen her in Jasper at the restaurant today?I was skeptical at first, but finally I gave in and picked up the phone. “What do you want, Dakota? I demanded my voice firm and fuming with anger.“Prickly right off the bat,” she said lightly. I don't know if she thought that this was a joke, but I was going to catch up on her plan.“I asked what you wanted, I repeated firmly. “Spill it, or you can get off my phone.”She sighed and clicked her tongue repeatedly.“It is always just business with you, isn't it, Nathan? I won
Enora:Dinner went better than expected, even though Nathan's attention wasn't fully on me.I didn't even realize how hungry I was until they brought out the meal. It was one of my favourites–chicken pesto–and smelled divine. I finished the first plate, but my stomach was still growling, so I had to ask for seconds.Every now and then, I had to call Nathan's attention back to me, and he would look at me with a gentle smile on his face.“I'm so sorry if my mind wandered somewhere else, kitten," he would say, reaching over to tug my cheek lovingly. “There's just so much that is going on in my head.”“I know,” I sighed, nuzzling my face deeper into his palm. I really wish that things were easier for him, but I guess that there was nothing that we could do until this case was over.The check came, and I quickly grabbed it before he could, and I watched the playful scowl on his face as I paid instead of him.“You do know that I'm still going to send you the money later,” he said as we st
Enora:I was so happy when work came to a close. I had been restless all day. The cramps had stopped, and I was feeling a whole lot better. Things were looking up, except for the fact that I hadn’t gotten a text from Nathan all day. He was supposed to take me out. Had he changed his mind? I mean, if he did, he would have told me already. It was 5:10 p.m. when I started packing up my things. There was still nothing from Nathan yet, and I was starting to worry. “Maybe he was downstairs, I told myself,” trying my best to be hopeful about the situation. Nathan never cancelled plans with me, and he wasn’t going to start now. The lobby was scanty. There were barely any people. Jay was still sitting down there, his face fixed on his laptop while Nicki sat beside him, filing her nails. She waved as soon as she saw me, and I went over to them.“Emily and Luke left early. They said that they had a dinner reservation. Those two are so in love with each other,” she said as I sat down next to h
Nathan:I sat in my seat quietly, my eyes darting to the jury every now and then. I watched them whisper and chatter among themselves in hushed tones while the judge continued to write on her paper. So far, we had been able to deliver a solid defense and the prosecution was left in the dust. However, Eliot's lawyer was, as well, on top of things, and they were doing a good job swaying the jury into believing that Elliott had nothing to do with the whole debacle.I sighed and reached for my bottle of water. It was expected, and I wasn't too keen on us being able to pin anything on Eliot. However, Maria and Instagram were going to pay heavy fines from the looks of things.I didn't recognize Maria when I saw her. As old as she was, when she worked for me, she looked quite young, but now her true age has come to the surface, and every time she looked at me, her eyes would fall, and she would turn away.I couldn't believe that this woman was related to Fiona. I employed both of them as sis
Enora:I couldn't say that I was happy going to work all by myself without Nathan. Today was just as miserable as Monday.I pulled up in front of the office, sighing heavily. My body was still twitching from the hot and intense sex we had had this morning. It felt like I didn't want him to leave. My body was still craving him even more. Just as usual, the lobby was filled. People were in groups chatting and talking.I saw Emily and Luke with Nicki and Jay in the corner, and I went over to meet them. I was happy that today they weren't scowling at me. It seemed like they had forgotten my ordeal yesterday, and I was grateful that they didn't bring it up again today.“I can't believe that Jasper called in,” Emily whined. “I just know that he went to see his girlfriend. I overheard him on the phone with her, and that they had something important going on and he needed to be there with her."I rolled my eyes but was nonetheless intrigued by the conversation. It wasn't like I agreed to Em
