Chapter Thirty Seven
Nina's POV
I felt shattered by my dad's behaviour but I should get used to the fact that my elder sister will always be his favourite.But Stefan going out of his way to make it work between daughter and father was the most kindest gesture I have ever seen.Maybe he is not that bad.Maybe I misjudged him.
After taking hours off everything and focusing on what I do best at the fashion studio, I realized all I needed was comfort and a shoulder to lean on.Yeah, my work kept me busy but my heart was still bleeding.I needed somebody to hug me and tell me it gets better with time.I tiptoed in our room and there was Stefan dead asleep.Should I wake him for a hug?
No I shouldn't make it easy for him.Yes, he wanted to help me out but he also added salt to the injury. He needs to be taught a good lesson.I pretended to be asleep and saw his eyes open busy staring at me or was it the red lingerie dress? Who cares....
Then boom, he went to th
Chapter Thirty Eight Nina's POVWithout explaining himself, he grabbed my hand and walked me out of the club."Till when will you break my heart?" He asked."Stefan, you can't drag her out like that...We were only having fun..." opened his big mouth."Shut up, this is between my wife and I..." He opened the passenger door for me, helped me get inside and buckled my seatbelt.He jogged to the other side, slide into his seat, buckled the seatbelt the we drove off.I wanted to say alot on his face but chose to remain quiet...He was driving in a supersonic speed and I was afraid for our lives.When we arrived at the house, he grabbed my hand again and walked me upstairs ignoring the questions from his mother and grandmother."Nina, what's wrong with you????" He pinned me at the door the moment we got into our room."Why do you hurt me like this?" He asked.How could I tell him it wasn't intentionally."You are a married woman and
Chapter Thirty NineStefan's POV"Son whoever finds a good woman finds a good thing..."I didn't know the essence of these words until I met Nina.I always wondered what my dad meant when he said whatever he has achieved is thanks to his wife.Nina was my inspiration and the love that grew deep inside me was the reason I want to always work hard and give her the life she deserves.I know I have trusted the wrong people, believed their promises, expected more than they could offer but yesterday I saw sincerity in her eyes.Maybe being brutally honest was a good move to win her sympathy. Yes it sounds desperate but the mere thought of losing her would lead me to depression."Your highness you need bed rest...The reason you felt dizzy is because of fatigue.." The doctor retorted."But I have an empire to run and CEOs don't become successful lying in bed..." I said angrily"So how will you run the business if you are dead? W
Chapter Fourty Nina's POVFinally the D-day was here...The fashion studio was filled with madness, organised madness but madness neverthelessSome dancers were late and the model didn't show up as she called in sick. It was hell of a day."Nina?"Carlos grabbed my arm when he noticed I was running around like a mad person."Carlos , this is not the time..." I rolled my eyes."Calm down or you will go crazy. Everything is going to be fine..."He beamed."Carlos, it's not the time..." I dropped his hand and when I was about to get back to business he whispered something that tore my insides into two."I really miss you...I wish we could re-live the Maasai Mara moments once again...""Don't to this, we both know we are hurting but the reality is you are not mine..." I walked away."I really miss you...I wish we could re-live the Maasai Mara moments once again...""Don't to this, we both know we are hurting but the reality
Chapter Fourty OneStefan's POVAfter the shocking surprise from Carlos , the first thing that rang on my mind was Nina.Was she okay?How was she holding up?I was worried about her but deep down I was happy.I know it may seem selfish but I just wanted her to myself. Right now it may hurt but soon, she would realise I am all she got.I run to the backstage and there was no sight of her."Carlos have you seen my wife???" I panted.He was busy showing off his new girlfriend to his friends and fellow artists...."What?"His mood suddenly changed...He looked worried like I was."Yes, I can't find her...""Have you asked the driver?"He let his girlfriend hand go and ran out of there like he was in danger."Yes, I can't find her...""Have you asked the driver?"He let his girlfriend hand go and ran out of there like he was in danger.When I finally caught up with him, I found him interrogating the driver...
Chapter Fourty TwoCarlos's POVI only miss her when am breathing.I only need her when my heart is beating.She is the only colour that am bleeding.What is fate?Fate to me is pain, anguish, terror. Fate allowed the woman I love more than my life to slip off my fingers.If that wasn't enough, it gave her away to my brother.Here I am stuck to the girl I don't love, the girl I introduced as my girlfriend to the whole world.Was the sacrifice worth it?Was my brother worth the sacrifice?Nina loves me and I love her then why are we apart?Because my brother fell in love with my woman. At times I wanna strangle him, at times I can't control the anger I feel towards him but the bottom line is that he is my brother.We walked into the hotel room and Ariana still thought she was acting."Put your hands off me... " I ordered slumping on the sofa."Jeez!!! What's with you?""How should I be when I just introduced you to the whole world as my girl
Chapter Fourty Three Stefan's POVLove can always make you do stupid things..I had to sleep in a small room that was the size of my bathroom just to be with her. I don't care if I had to sleep on the streets just to be beside her.I was in love with her and she was in love with a another who loved another.I was broken to see her in pain but that's life and the only constant thing is change.I was from an important business meeting but believe me when I say the only thing on my mind in there was Ciara....I remembered how she cried on my arms, how she shared her pain with me...I know it wasn't much but it was progress.Tonight I was gonna take her a bonquet of roses to show her how much she meant to me...I heard girls love flowers and chocolates..But what kind of chocolate does she like?I would do anything to bring back her smile even if it means searching for it in the Amazon forest.I reached out for my phone ready to call her when I receive
Chapter Fourty FourNina's POVThe truth is finally out, so what?Should I kill myself?After minutes of argument between brothers, we sat in the living room ready to listen to what the women of the house had in store for us.Mother looked me with murderous eyes but I didn't care...Jennifer was smiling victoriously and that made me mad."Stefan, is it true you forced Nina to marry you?" Granny asked.At first Stefan was hesitant to reply but he finally did..."Yes granny, I did...""Carlos , were you dating Nona before she got married to Stefan???" She asked...."Not only was I dating her but also in love with her..." He replied in utmost confidence that I couldn't help but smile.Was it a good idea to run away with him??? Was it wrong to think about myself for once??? But why was my heart so heavy?? I couldn't help but not look at the bruises on Stefan's face. He didn't deserve all of this .Yes he is an arrogant man but he ga
Chapter Fourty FivePrince Stefan's POVSomeone catch my tears before I drown in them.I sat under the running cold water from the shower and the funny thing is I loved it.I loved the freezing feeling, it made me remember what it meant to have an icy soul.I had gone to get some fresh air from the terrace when I saw Carlos c*ressing Nina.Yes they loved each other but don't they mind how I feel.My heart was cracking inside me..I needed a shoulder to lean on, someone to tell me the dark clouds above me shall pass but I had no one.Suddenly I heard someone open the bathroom door, it was the last person I expected to see.I thought she was there to take her toothbrush and leave but no, she came and sat beside me. "What are you doing here? I don't need your company." I thundered."I chose you Prince Stefan.I don't know why I did but I did." She replied softly.I felt my heart dancing shakushaku in my chest threatening to burst out.Carlos was my
