Chapter 50: ||Natalia's POV||

It was finally the wedding day and I woke up with jitters.

My heart was beating too fast. My knees were shaking and anxiety was taking every part of me.

I dragged myself out of bed and moved to the bathroom, glaring at myself in the mirror.

My eyes looked brighter than usual and my cheeks glowed under the light. I looked... happy.

And this felt wrong.

"This is just a contract marriage, Natalia..." I spoke to my reflection. "There is nothing to be happy about here!"

I poured water on my face a couple of times and continued glaring at my own reflection.

Forcing my facials, I morphed the spark of excitement in my eyes into a frown— A mask I was prepared to wear for the next twelve months.

Satisfied with my look, I went ahead to take a quick shower. When I was done, I returned to the room to start preparing for the day when a sharp knock echoed on my door.

I checked the time on my phone and sighed, knowing that it could only be Ariel, my makeup artist and sty

  • THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS' SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE   CHAPTER 57

    Chapter 57: ||Natalia's POV||The ache in my troubled mind suddenly reduced the more I thought about where we were going. To Wesley's studio.I never knew he painted. I never even thought of him as an artist.My mind suddenly thought about the kind of things he would draw. Surely, it had to be good for him to have a painting studio in his house, right?With the thoughts still reeling in my mind, I quietly followed the housekeeper till we got to the door."It's here madam," the house keeper said, pointing at the slightly opened door.For reasons I couldn't explain, my heart started racing as my eyes moved to the door. I had to swallow hard to regain control of myself."Thank you," I managed to let out as I took a step forward.The man gave me a small smile, then a bow before he turned on his heel and left.Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door and stepped inside. Instantly, cool air wrapped around me as I began to scan around the room.The smell of paints and canvas paper filled my n

  • THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS' SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE   CHAPTER 56

    Chapter 56: ||Natalia's POV||My legs felt cold as Lila's words sank into me. I felt so many things at the same time.I was shocked; relieved; scared; guilty and worried all at once.I felt so bad for all the times I thought evil of Wesley. I hated myself for all the times I pushed him further away with my accusing glares..."Oh my God," I whispered in a broken voice.There was no way I would let Robert manipulate Wesley like this. It was okay for him to threaten me, but Wesley... No, I wouldn't."What are we going to do now, Lila? How can we stop him?" I asked, my voice strengthening with determination.Her eyes flickered with shock at my words but she quickly blinked them away. Rather than answer immediately she moved to the side where she dropped her empty glass.She picked it and moved on to the table, at the centre of the room where a bottle of wine sat. She poured herself a fill and gulped it all down, before her eyes met mine again."The only way we can do this is to delete thi

    Chapter 55: ||Natalia's POV||The honeymoon was finally over and it was time we returned to the real world. I felt a little ache in my chest as we moved out of our room.It was almost painful knowing it was over. And everything from now onwards was about to get real.My mood was worn, filled with so many confusing thoughts that I barely said a word. I let Wesley deal with all proceedings.Even when we got to our plane seats, I could only stare at him, my thoughts finally centering on what had been biting at me through the last days of her honeymoon.I watched the soft curve of his jaw; the steady rise and fall of his chest as he scrolled through his phone... But most importantly I saw the quiet restraint in every movement he made.Not just now, I saw every single restraint he went through. I could still see the way his voice cracked whenever I laughed too loud; the way his eyes lit up when I looked at him... I saw it all.And I could tell how much he was holding back. Like he was prot

    Chapter 54: ||Wesley's POV||Pouring my heart out to Natalia, relieved some of the strain I felt in my heart. Yet the silence that echoed was punishment.She didn't turn around. She didn't say a word. She simply laid still, not even breathing properly.I felt pathetic. I wanted to look into her eyes and see the response within them, but I couldn't. I could only settle with watching.But even that, was torture.The way a single tendril of her hair curled near the nape of her neck... It left me wondering what it would feel like if I kissed it.Every part of me wanted to roll her over, press my lips to her skin and beg her to let me in. All the way in.'Snap out of it Wes!' I scolded myself.I couldn't be thinking in that manner. This wasn't even the time for such things.She had barely just offered to be friends with me again. She had somehow put on hold the anger she had towards Lila's situation.If I made a move like that, it was going to ruin everything once again.So despite the pai

  • THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS' SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE   CHAPTER 53

    Chapter 53: ||Natalia's POV||I managed to survive the first few days of the honeymoon, without another mishap.That first day at the bar, I had long thought about staying in my lane.Teasing Wesley was not a good idea. So I only acted for the camera, never going beyond our boundaries but enough to get good pictures that could excite the public.But while these arrangements worked, the awkwardness in the room only doubled.Wesley spent most of the time scrolling through his phone with a military focus.It was almost as if he had been told never to turn to my side of the bed whenever I was in the room.And as much as I tried to take it all in, it reached its limit. I couldn't bear it any longer.So taking a deep breath, I decided to put an end to it. I walked back into the room from the balcony and joined him in the room.As usual, he was on his phone.So I got on my side of the bed, and turned to him. "Wesley."He glanced up from his phone immediately. "Yes?""I want us to talk," I sa

  • THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS' SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE   CHAPTER 52

    Chapter 52: ||Natalia's POV||That night, it was pure torture.I couldn't sleep. I kept my body so stiff, I prayed the morning came sooner and when it did, I was the first to jump out of bed.I locked myself in the bathroom for so long, it was only when I heard the bed creak that I slipped on fresh clothes and stepped out."Good morning!" I chirped pretending to be fine.Wesley's brows furrowed at the sound of my voice but he also smiled. "Good morning, beautiful..." He replied before going into the bathroom.Once the door closed behind him, I fanned myself with encouragement. I didn't pass out nor stare at him for too long."That was a good thing, right?" I mumbled to myself.And then an idea suddenly clicked. If pretending to be fine was going to make this whole awkward situation easier, then I could as well go on with the flow."Yes!" I exclaimed. The plan was perfect.When Wesley stepped out, I wasn't trying to avoid him. I was waiting for him."So, I was thinking... Why don't we
