Chapter Fifty Four
Nina's POV
I don't know why but I didn't want my mother having the wrong impression about Stefan. He might be the worst husband at times but he deserved respect.While in the kitchen I couldn't help but overhear his conversation with Becky and Mama. I couldn't fight the smile, he defended me like a husband would and stood up for me like a friend would.Maybe he is not such a bad husband after all..
I was happy, my heart was doing somersaults in my chest.I felt lighter like helium and wanted to dance like there was no tomorrow . Off late everything he did had an effect on me.Why was I feeling like this? Why was he getting to me?. Off late everything he did had an effect on me.Why was I feeling like this? Why was he getting to me?
Maybe he just lied to my mama so that she would like him. He said I was only his wife on paper right then why was he been sweet with words?Stop thinking about it Nina, he is just thinking about himself.But why w
Chapter Fifty FiveStefan's POVThe more the phone rung, the angrier I got...Nina just looked at it, letting it ring..Finally he hanged up. When I thought it was over, he called again and she still didn't bother to turn it off.It beginning to get irritating and a part of me wanted to throw it out of the window."Nina, If you ain't gonna pick that phone up then switch it off!!!!." I ordered the second he called again and she just ignored me."Nina, I am f*cking talking to you!!!!" I slammed the steering wheel."Here," She threw her phone on my face,"you can pick it too. I bet you don't have food in your mouth and you can talk properly.""What's wrong with you?" I asked, getting my eyes off the road."Just leave me alone Stefan!!!" We begun arguing and I forgot I was driving."Stefan watch out!!!!" Nina screamed suddenly snapping me back to the fact I was driving.When I looked what was infront of us, panic took ov
Chapter Fifty SixNina's POV"Not now Stefan.." I groaned and walked past him."How is your injury now? I saw you hugging him."I halted the moment I heard those words."He was just been there for me as a friend.""The project we doing with the minister will be over in eight months after that I will give you a divorce. I can no longer force things."For the first time, he didn't shake or yell at me . He spoke very calmly.Be happy Nina, in eight months you will be free. Jump up and down in excitement girlfriend.Why was I sad? I felt sadness weighing me down. It was what I always wanted but then it felt like it wasn't what I needed.Come think of it, I am the one who should give him the divorce not the other way round. He ruined my life, I actually did him a favour."I guess since we been honest, I will be too.I am mad at you because if you didn't force me to this maybe my dad would have forgiven me, Carlos would be mine. But i am the unlu
Chapter Fifty SevenNina's POVFinally I landed on another contract. Since I was done working for Carlos, I was jobless and depended on Stefan for upkeep. It's not like he minded.Stefan had been acting weird for the past one month. He rarely spoke to me or even eat at home.He always came home late and left very early. It felt lonely but this was the price I had to pay.There are times he would sleep in the office, on the sofa but rarely beside me.It was like he was avoiding me.I wanted to tell him the good news so I woke up at 4am and waited for him to come take a shower since he slept in the office.When he walked in, I pretended to be asleep so that he wouldn't leave."Stefan, I finally got another job." I said calmly when he was getting into the bathroom."That's good, atleast you won't have to stay home like a housewife anymore." He replied dryly not looking at me."Are you not going to ask me where or with who?" I retorted an
Chapter Fifty EightStefan's POVI was ransacking the closet to try and find something she could wear when Carlos stormed in."Stefan, the doctor is here.""Okay I will be there."I walked back to the room with one of my baggy T-shirt on my hand and found everyone looking so worried surrounding the bed."Doctor , is my wife going to be okay?" I asked, worry evident in my voice."Kindly excuse us so that we can do our job." He requested and I nodded letting everyone out but not before I told the nurse to change her clothes and gave her the T-shirt."Stefan, please tell us what happened to my girl?" Granny asked as tears threatened to fall from her eyes."Someone tried to r*pe her." I explained, anger seeping through me by the mere thought of what would have happened if I didn't get there on time."I hope you killed that bastard!!!" Carlos raged, palm fisting himself.""I wish I did.." I replied dryly.I was so worried that I
Chapter Fifty NineStefan's POVThere was faint traces of tears in her eyes but luckily she seemed better.I slowly got out of bed and placed a pillow on her head. I then one by one freed my fingers from her grip.I tiptoed from the room only to bump into my mother outside my room."Mum, what are you doing here?" I murmured."I came to check up on Nina and ask what she will have.""She is sleeping peacefully. Lets go downstairs, I want to make her some chicken rice soup." I explained to her and she nodded before we both went downstairs.Everyone was in the dining table waiting for my wife and I."Where is Nina? We have been for ages for you guys." Lucas stated."I am sorry to disappoint but my wife is resting and if you don't mind, I want to go and make some chicken soup for her.""Did you say make soup for her?" Ella confirmed."Yes, is there a problem?" I asked and she just shook her head.After I was done preparing the chick
Chapter SixtyFatima's POVI was ready to get into bed when Carlos slammed the door open into my room, his face wet in tears.From the way he was shaking in rage, I was sure it was something to do with Nina.When will he get to that thick skull of his that Nina is already taken? How many times will he still sleep and not wake up to reality?."What now?" I asked in a bored tone only for him to take the flower vase beside it and smashed it on the wall.Now this was serious."Carlos are you crazy? Do you want to wake everyone up?" I scolded.."That guy is a traitor. Why did he have to kiss her?" He yelled, clenching his fists.Nice job Nina, finally you realised you have a husband and now Carlos can notice me.How foolish can this man be?I wonder what made me fall for him. If that was what was giving him sleepless nights then what I was about to tell him will give him a heart attack.I walked to the table lamp and took the bro
Chapter Sixty OneNina's POVWhen I woke up,Stefan was no longer sleeping besides me.I couldn't help but laugh at yesternight incidences.I can't believe I kissed him. Like seriously what came over me? I shook my head, my cheeks red with embarrassment.I know he must be feeling weird right now nowanda he left early.I wish I could be mad at myself for what I did but it felt right.Kissing him was one of the best decisions I have ever made.Within seven months, we will have divorced and the only thing I will have is the little silly memories to cherish.Wait, I hope he is not mad. But if he was mad, he wouldn't have kissed me back.I felt my lips as his image clouded my thoughts.I was busy smiling like a fool when I heard the door knob shuffle.. Surprisingly it was Stefanwith a tray on his hands.I bet it's the butler or even mum.Surprisingly it was Stefan with a tray on his hands."Good morning lazy ass? Do you know its noon.

Chapter Sixty TwoNina's POVI hope Stefan doesn't wake up and notice am not there or else I will never hear the end off it.Damn you Carlos, today you gonna get a drop of my wrath.When I got to Laxima club, I looked around and spotted the noisy drunkard on the counter.Did he think he would find answers or lyrics in the shots he was taking?Beside him, there were two girls who looked familiar.What did this man want?I walked to where he was only to see Asher(his bestfriend) taking videos of him making a fool of himself."Carlos, why the hell would you wake me up at 1am?" I asked as I tapped on his shoulder violently."Is that you my queen?"He asked in an excited voice as he turned to face me."Ladies, the night is over. This guy needs to get home." I ordered but they didn't even flinch.. And you Asher what kind of bestfriend are you?" I couldn't help but get mad."Carlos, talk to your ladies"Sorry Nina he wanted to see
