The Vow I Never Took A Mess
Lena's POVI was hurt as hell. Nathan Hale had just walked out like nothing happened. Like we didn't just kiss passionately. I yanked the covers off and stood up, completely enraged, storming across the room with fury. I tore off every piece of clothing on my body as I passed restlessly. If Nathan Hale had installed security cameras in here, then congratulations to him. I wandered over to the mirror, catching my reflection. My hair was a mess, my skin was also flushed. Everything felt hot, confusing and unfinished. How did he just leave like that after giving me the best kiss of my life? He just got up, buttoned his stupid shirt and left. “Asshole,” I muttered.I picked up my clothes one by one, dragging them back on with an annoyed huff. I still had my life outside this mansion. I had a career, deadlines and clients. I have an empire I had to take care of. Besides my insurance company I built from scratch.Still, it hurts. As I zipped up my pants, my phone dinged. I picked it u

Lena's POV I turned away from the pillar and headed back to my room. I needed my phone. I needed Grace. She’d know what to say or at least make me laugh long enough to forget about the breakfast interrogation from hell. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and placed a call across to Grace. Just one ring, and I couldn’t stop the words from flowing. “ Mrs. Hale,” Grace called out, suppressing her giggles. “ Fuck that! These people are going to be the death of me,” I boomed, falling on the bed. I heard her gasping, “ I knew it. They gave you poisoned tea, didn't they?” I couldn't hold back my laughter at her insinuations. What poison? “ Girl, your imagination is surely out of the world. Who poisons their son's wife?” “ Oh…then it's worse, right? Girl, I could hop on my car right now and kidnap you before faking your dea

Nathan's POV I stared at the screen, but I wasn’t seeing anything, not really. James from finance was going on and on about quarterly projections, the logistics team was waiting for an update, and all I could do was sit there, barely registering the words flying past me. "Mr. Hale?" someone called. "Mr. Hale, can you head us?" "Perhaps his signal is off..." "MR HALE!" My head snapped up. "What?" There was an awkward pause on the Skype call. James cleared his throat. "We were asking if you'd like us to move forward with the vendor transition." "Yeah. Sure. Do it," I said, rubbing my forehead. "Do whatever." "Alright. Do you think we should continue with the numbers, or...?" "No, end it here. We'll reconvene later. My secretary will send you the details for the next meeting" I clicked the mouse, ending the call before anyone could say an

Nathan's POV "Beware of people around you. You never know who could be the enemy." I stared at the message for longer than I should have. This just confirmed everything that I had feared for so many months. I was living amongst vipers. "Beware of people around you. You never know who could be the enemy." It wasn’t fear that I felt exactly. But a chill settled at the base of my neck, and it hadn’t moved since. I dropped my phone in the passenger seat, tossed the rest of my tennis gear into the trunk and stepped into the driver’s side of my car. I needed to make a call. As soon as I pulled out of the country club lot, I pressed the button on my steering wheel. "Call Adrian King." The line rang twice. "My liege!" Adrian answered cheerfully. "To what do I owe the royal summons?" "

Lena's POVThat fierce gaze was enough to make one shit on her pants. However, I was Lena Carter, not just anyone. “ Lost and came across this dusty library. I would go mad without anything keeping me company,” I let, adjusting my hands while skillfully closing whatever document I just saw.There was a particular picture in one of the emails that stood out. A picture of Nathan and a woman. I couldn't get enough information before Victoria barged in. “ Leave!” Her voice sounded paranoid, as if distraught by something or someone. Well, I was going to do just that even if she doesn't say.As I left, I could feel a suppressed hateful aura around her. Not at me, but at whatever was in the room. Damn! These powerful families surely have it all… secrets, whatever snobbish attitude one can think of.I spent the rest of the day pretending that I wasn’t bothered. I answered emails, read over a few contracts, and even gave some direction

Nathan's POV The whiskey was good, the bar was dim and my best friend refused to shut up. Exactly what I needed to get Lena off my mind, or so I thought. "So let me get this straight," King said, swirling his whiskey glass. "You married Lena Carter. As in, Carter-Carter, daughter of James Carter. Old money, power connections, all that royalty bullshit. That Carter?" I leaned back and gave a slow nod. “The very one.” He whistled and shook his head. “Man. Those people are extremely low key. I even heard the real power doesn't belong to Mr. Carter. Could it be her?” “ Still not sure…” I slurred. Then he let out a grin, his eyes dancing with mischief. “ Dude, you really are something else. That girl is hot, though.” I gave him a look and he held his hands up. “Hey, I’m ju

Lena“I might just cook for all of you one of these days,” I said, smiling at Sebastian across the table. He had this childlike grin plastered on his face, and honestly, that boy needed hobbies that didn’t involve food or video games.Victoria scoffed. “Wonderful. So we’re all dying of food poisoning by tomorrow.”My smile faded, just a little. I turned to look at her, brows lifting. What did she even want from me? A few minutes ago, I was an unworthy daughter-in-law for not cooking. Now, if I did, I was a murderer with a frying pan?“I’m sure her food will be amazing,” Sebastian chimed in, cheerfully ignoring the tension. “I bet she’s one of those girls who watches fancy French cooking videos in her free time.”I blinked at him. “How did you know?”“See?” He clapped his hands together. “I knew it!”Victoria rolled her eyes, clearly over it. “Sebastian, shut up and chew.”He looked wounded. “I’m just trying to build family spirit.”“Chew,” she repeated through gritted teeth.I lowered

Nathan"Don’t trust Sebastian?" Lena frowned at me like I had grown a second head.I nodded once, stuffing my hands into the pockets of my sweatpants. "You heard me.""Hmmm." She crossed her arms and tilted her head. "That’s very rich coming from you. He’s the only person in this house who doesn’t look at me like I crawled out of a sewer!"I almost smiled. How little she knew. "You think playing video games and cracking dumb jokes makes him harmless?""Compared to your stepmother and that circus act you call a family? Yeah, he’s practically a saint."I didn’t answer that. I just shook my head because there was no point explaining the dynamics of my family to her. She wouldn’t understand."Go to sleep, Lena," I said quietly. "We’ll talk later."She muttered something under her breath that sounded like "Hale men and their cryptic warnings," and stomped off toward her room, laptop clutched to her chest like a shield.I chuckled under my breath.

Lena's POV "Lena! Get up! You’re going to be late!" I groaned as someone shook me roughly. I pried my eyes open to see Grace looming over me, fully dressed for work and looking way too chipper for this hour. Meanwhile, I was sprawled across the couch, surrounded by the aftermath of our pity party. Empty bowls of ice cream littered the floor, and an abandoned pizza box sat on the coffee table. "Ugh," I grunted, stretching my arms above my head. "What time is it?" "Time for me to head out," Grace replied, smoothing down her blazer. "I would have let you sleep in, but I figured you would want to know before I disappear." I waved her off groggily. "Yeah, yeah. Have fun being a functioning adult." Grace laughed and grabbed her purse. "Try not to drown in self-pity, okay? And for the love of God, don’t go close to that mother fucking David." I snorted. "Noted." She shot me finger guns and headed for the door. "Text me if you need anything!" The door clicked shut behind her and I
