NINA’S POV“What do you mean you can’t do it! Tell me, uhn!” I yelled at the top of my voice, feeling really frustrated, and eager to destroy any fragile object around me.“I’m sorry, I just don’t think I can.” Her voice trembled a bit.“Wait, did you do what I asked you to do the other time?” I asked, staring at her like I was going to rip her into pieces if she gave me a no as an answer.“I couldn’t. That’s what I’m trying to explain here.”“Don’t give me this bullshit! How could you not carry out that plan! Do you want to ruin everything I have planned, and the resources I have utilized for this!""Do you want everything to go to waste?” I questioned with rage growing inside of me, and I picked up the vase which was on the table, and threw it against the wall. I had no time for her silly excuses and I definitely had no time to understand her point of view.I was running out of time. The flower vase broke into tiny shards on the brown coloured tiled floor. I met with her gaze, anger
NADIA’S POVThe doorbell rang, pulling me out of my daydream. I stood up and signaled to my maid not to bother opening the door. I pushed the front door open and welcomed Penelope.After seeing Will off to his car, I had taken my breakfast and called Penelope that I needed to speak with her urgently. My joy knew no bounds when she agreed to come.“I’m so sorry for calling you out suddenly, and that you had to go through the sun’s wrath.” I said, intertwining my right hand with hers.“Oh, darling, you should know I'd do anything for you. Moreover, I didn't like the way you sounded on the phone. Nadia, is there anything wrong?” Penelope questioned, looking concerned.Hot torrents rolled down my cheeks before I could form the words.“Nadia, you need to talk to me. What exactly is going on?” Penelope gave me a worried look.“A lot is going on, Penelope. A lot.” I managed to speak out as tears streamed down to my chin.“Nadia, whatever is going on, I’m here to listen to you. Just try to st
NINA’S POV“What!? She’s going to school?” I exclaimed as I shot up from the couch.My day had been going well up until this sudden news. I didn't pay the man who was watching her every move and the one who injected her just for her to move on with her life. I was trying to scare Nadia because I knew her weakness and now this!“This can’t be, Penelope! Are you sure you heard right?” I asked, holding the phone close to my ear.My blood boiled and I wanted to snap anything within my reach. If Nadia found a way out of this, all my resources would be wasted and that wasn't as painful as not getting the one who belonged to me after paying the price and sullying my hands.In times like this, I regretted running away. If i had known, I would never have absconded. Now, I knew better but things weren't easy.“That’s precisely what I heard from her. Will has approved it, so she should be attending college anytime soon. Just thought to inform you.” Penelope repeated flatly.I needed Nadia acting
NADIA’S POVTwo weeks here had been nothing short of joy. I was loving and living my dream life all thanks to my husband.Getting enrolled was very easy because Will was supportive. To crown it all, I was able to convince him to allow me to keep a guard who would stay around and not follow me everywhere , making me feel awkward.A smile curled on my lips at the thought of my loving husband.“Hey, Nadia.” Derek called out to me as he walked into the class, with his right hand in his pocket.“Hi, Derek. Didn’t expect to see you so early.” I said, with a smile, as I turned to him when he sat beside me.Derek was a friend I met two days after I got admitted. He was a nice guy and beyond that, I loved his artistic prowess. I liked the fact that he respected me and acted mature.“Yeah, I guess I can say the same thing about you.” He chuckled lightly, and ran his fingers through his dark curls.“Look. I drew the Eiffel Tower, but there’s something weird about it.” I uttered, hoping he could
WILL’S POV Help me Please help I opened my eyes to see Nadia whispering these words by my side. "I'm here, baby. You're safe. I've got you." I patted her as I sat up on the bed. She gasped and jerked up from the bed. “Nadia, honey, it was a nightmare, right?" I asked, out of concern. Then she turned to me, looking sad. “Yes.” She responded, and sniffled. “I need you to be calm, Nadia. I’m here with you." I said, trying to make her feel better. “Will, it’s not just the nightmare. I’m also being threatened.” She spoke, with her voice sounding shaky. “Threatened?” I repeated as my right eyebrow arched up. “Yes." She turned to the bedside table to retrieve her phone. "Look at my phone. A text message came up, and it was a threat.” She said as she checked her phone for the texts she received. But there was no evidence of those messages, sent to her phone. I sighed, and cleaned my face with my hand, then moved closer to her at the other side of the bed. I turned her to face me
NADIA’S POV“Will.” My eyelids fluttered open.“Nadia, are you okay now? How are you feeling?”“I’m…I’m okay, now.” I replied softly.He placed his hand on my left cheek, and rubbed it softly with his thumb.“What happened?” He asked, out of concern.“I don’t really know. I was just feeling dizzy and weak. And that happened all of a sudden, so I guess I passed out. How did you know I was taken to the hospital?” I asked, out of curiosity.Before I could speak a word, the door opened, and the doctor walked in with a file in his hand.“Good day, sir.""Good day doctor, thank you so much for everything." Will shook his hands."You are highly welcome and we have good news. The baby is in good condition. Luna Nadia just needs to rest very well. At this stage, she ought to be eating well, and then stress less to avoid being in a bad condition.” The doctor explained.“Thank you, doctor. We’ll note that.”"I will arrange for her discharge immediately."As the doctor walked out, Will’s gaze tur
Nadia's povMy eyelid fluttered open as the sound of birds chirping woke me up. I got prepared for school although I didn’t plan to go to school yet. I needed to go over to Derek’s house to talk him out of whatever ugly thoughts he had in mind.I hailed a cab, and was driven off to his house. As soon as I got near his front porch, I was hoping that his door wasn’t locked, because if it was, and he was about to kill himself, he certainly wouldn’t open the door for me. I walked faster towards his door, and when I pulled the door knob, I realized it wasn’t locked.“Thank goodness.” I muttered under my breath.“Derek!” I called out his name as I walked in, and looked around.“Derek!” I called out to him again but there was no response from him. Everywhere was silent. Not even a creaking sound could be heard. Was he inside, I wondered? I noticed a curved staircase and immediately I rushed up the stairs to see him staring out into space. He looked lost."Derek." I called out but he didn
NINA'S POV.All the parts of my body steamed with pleasure as delight filled my screams and moans. It was a moment of ecstasy as I was being taken to soaring heights right there on my bed.The sheets were a mess and our clothes were strewn recklessly on the floor and the room was lost in our honeyed sounds. I was right at the peak of it all barely containing my excitement when I suddenly crashed back to the ground with the sound my door swinging open. We stopped in the middle of it, and stared at my shocked and disgusted mother who stood at the door still with her hand on the knob. She had probably never expected to walk in and meet me like that. "Nina!" "Mum. Why don't you knock? There's a reason there's a door. It's common courtesy." I snapped, feeling the anger in me rise like waves."Are you kidding me, Nina? You were so taken away doing your stuff, you didn't even hear me knocking and knocking, and why would you leave all your doors unlocked when you're…?" She said still in d
