Chapter 5

Just as Natalie expected the threat got to who it was sent to.

The video of Natalie threatening an unknown person circulated round Hashi. Liam sat in his office replaying the video over and over again.

"How dare she?" He screamed flipping his office desk.

"Woah! Woah! Take it easy Liam. We'll get her where she least expected" Eduardo says walking in.

"How do you want me to take it easy? She just publicly challenged us,she just challenged me." Liam says in anger gesturing towards his chest and ruffling his blonde hair.

Eduardo calmly sits on the couch present in the office crossing his legs. Liam stares back at him in shock.

"Why are you so calm?"

"This is a pressing issue,we should hit her back where she least expect"

"I already did, that's what am trying to tell you and you're here throwing a tantrum."

Liam stared intensely at Eduardo once more and asked "what did you do?"

"Well,I may or may not have posted a video of Mia being beaten by you but instead Natalie is in the video and you aren't"

"Wait! What? Doesn't that make me a brother beater or whatever you guys call it."

"Oops! Did I mention I also cut out your face and put a random guys own" Eduardo says with a smile on his face.

Liam nods and finally crouch down to pick his falling documents "that's really good of you" he commends.

"Well am not an editor for nothing."

"Let's just sit back and let the netizens do what they do best"

"Are you okay?" Ricardo stared at the damsel beside him.

Natalie relaxed back on the seat and closed her eyes for some seconds.

"I don't think so" she finally replies.

"I'm not sure I'll ever be okay,I mean till I achieve my goal I won't be okay." 

Nat finally turns to stare at him. His aura was still domineering and king-like. She examined his handsome looks Her eyes darted towards his ear and admired the diamond-like mole on his earlobe.

"You've hard a stressful day, let's go home so you can take a rest."

"No I'm fine, let's head to civil affairs." Natalie retorted.

Ric let out a smile and turned to Natalie, grabbing her jaw to examine her with his eagle-like gaze "even without the marriage certificate you're now Mrs Ricardo Rodriguez."

Nat couldn't help but blush. 

"Where should I drop you off?" Ricardo ask still admiring her.

"I'm Mrs Rodriguez,right? Shouldn't I stay over at Rodriguez place" Natalie asked flirting. It was Ricardo's turn to blush.

"My place is no fun, there's a place "

****

"How could you cheat on her when you knew fully well she'll come over." Linda says pacing Leo's office.

"I don't know,and she went quickly to make a comeback." Ken ruffled his hair. Natalie can't leave him! He'll do anything to keep her by his sad. I mean she's his personal bank. 

"Go to her place right now and apologize, hopefully she'll be stupid enough to take you back." Linda said mockingly.

"I mean what's her deal anyway? Must she act sick for love? If only she knows it's fake." Ken joined in and they both went on saying embarrassing things about Natalie.

"Before you go,come here and suck momma" Linda says flirting while raising her gown to reveal her well shaved pussy.

Leo licks his lip and says "with pleasure"

The Eduardo post went gone viral. Hate comments about Natalie were everywhere. Jean had smashed her phone twice cause she couldn't accept what they were saying about Natalie. When she ran out of phones to smash she decided to call Nat.

"Have you seen what they are saying online?" Jean asked immediately someone picked the phone.

"No,what is it" Natalie asked yawning tiredly.

"Apparently Eduardo posted a video of you and some thug beating up Mia." 

Immediately Nat heard,her eyes became clear and she chuckles.

"Jean, do you still know how to find out if a video is fake?"

"Of course I do"

"Well I'll send you the original video and compare it with the fake and post the two together,they really want to fight, let's play."

"Woah! So you indeed have evidence. I really thought you were bluffing earlier."

"Just do what I said you should do keep everything else till tomorrow" Nat ended the call in haste as Ricardo walked in with a tray of food.

"You didn't have to." Nat says collecting the tray as she yawned tiredly.

"No more phone calls and you can eat when you wake up take a rest,baby" Ric says collecting the tray back and settling it at the table besides the bed.

Natalie lay back on the bed and Ricardo covered her with a duvet,then proceeded to place a kiss at the top of her head.

He closed the room door quietly then proceeded to call someone.

"Boss" the receiver answered.

"Have you released the video she told you to?" His authoritative voice boomed.

"Yes sir,it has gone really viral in matters of seconds"

Ricardo didn't say anything else and ended the call while pacing around. She might not want him to help. She probably wouldn't find out,he thought before placing another call.

"Keep that video on top of hot search,if it goes down just know you've offended Universe stars!" Ricardo said before hanging up.

He crept back into the room Natalie was sleeping and laid beside her,staring at her face he whispered "no one dares to hurt you,NO ONE"

Natalie woke up and didn't find Ricardo,after freshing up she strolled to the kitchen and found him cooking,his back turned to face her. Her eyes roaming him, taking in his features. "Are you just going to keep staring or you're going to come over and claim this lips." Natalie's eyes widen 'he had cought her' but wait he never for once turned.

"I've got eyes at my back" Ricardo says as if reading her mind. Nat walked over to him, staring intently into his light brown eyes. Using her thumb she drew an invisible line from his cheek down to his lip,her thumb caressed his pink lips, bringing her mouth closer,she made to kiss him but withdraws, Ricardo shook his head 'she really knows how to tease him' 

"Mrs Rodriguez,are you teasing me?"
