Nathalie Wrights's P. O. V.

Watching the elevator to reach the top floor is boring for everyone, but not for me. I want it to stop in the middle and not reach the top floor anymore, but that won’t gonna happen.

I let out a deep sigh when the bell rang before the doors were wide open.

"Ms. Wrights?" Kyrie's assistant motioned the way to me.

I rolled my eyes at him before I stepped out of the elevator. Logan guided me to a VIP room where there were no electric lights inside. The fire from the fireplace and the small candles gathered around are the only ones that are giving light to the room.

'So romantical..' I said to my mind, bored.

Near the balcony, there was a table with flowers and petals on it. I also saw a bouquet of flowers beside the food and wine. I rolled my eyes because of the set-up.

'Am I on some kind of a teenage date?' I asked myself while grimacing.

I stood in front of that table to check the flowers and the petals on it. These are imported flowers. I picked up the bouquet and inspected it. I like the color of its wrapper, it matches the color of the flowers, red and black. One can tell that a manly person chose the colors.

I jumped a little in shock when I felt a hand wrapped around my waist. I was about to hit him when I felt that he snipped my neck.

'That gesture...'

My heart was beating fast. I can feel it. How can this man do it? It's been years since I end my life with him!

"You smell good.." He whispered in my ear as he caress me on my waist.

I closed my eyes to feel his warm body pressed against mine, but... I can't fall for this trap that I once fell.

I took a deep hard breath before I remove his hands from me and face him. I saw when his jaw tightened because of what I did, but he remained silent.

"What do you need from me, Mr. Menzel?" I asked him, trying to make myself sound so professional.

"Mr. Menzel?" He asked me with disbelief in his voice.

I arched my eyebrows at him before I nodded.

He clenched his jaw again but it didn't last long, because, after a few seconds, he sarcastically smirk at me before he walked past me and sat on the chair behind me.

I rolled my eyes before I face him, "Mr. Menzel, I came here for business. Not to play around with you---"

"Is that how unskillful you could be, Nathalie?" He asked me with sarcasm and insult in his voice.

"Excuse me?" I asked him with an irritated voice.

How dare he speak that way to me?!

"Take a seat, please." He said as he brings out his phone.

Gritting my teeth, I sat in front of him and watch him dial a number on his cellphone.

"What are you doing?" I asked him with a creased eyebrow.

But instead of answering, he just motioned me to keep myself quiet.

"Mr. Menzel, I am asking you---" My words were cut off when he showed me his phone and put the call on speaker.

"It's a pleasure to have you reach out to me, Mr. Menzel. I wasn't able to speak with you earlier.." My eyes widened when I heard that voice.

Confused, I looked up to Kyrie who was grinning at me but there was no emotion in his eyes while looking back at me.

"I'm glad to speak to you too, Mr. Coin.." The coldness is in his voice while talking to Mr. Coin. "I've heard somewhere that you're planning to invest in Wrights Products?"

My hands went cold while looking at his eyes. 'What is he doing?'

"Oh, that? Yes, my son wants me to----"

"How about I offer you to invest in my company instead of a cheap small company?" He asked with no emotion in his voice.

That's it! I felt when my heart breaks after I heard him give Mr. Coin an offer. The man's investment would be a great help for me to restore my company and yet he's here, ruining my plans! My chance...

"W-What, Mr. Menzel?" The man on the other line seemed to be surprised as well.

"My secretary will send you the details tomorrow," and with that, he just cut off the line before he diverted his whole attention to me again.

I felt like that I was glued to my seat. My eyes never let go of the sight where his phone was placed. Did Kyrie just really do that? What was he trying to do?!

"You see, Ms. Wrights..." From his glass, his eyes met mine. "This is how we do business---"

"Business?" I asked him with teary eyes before I sarcastically laughed at him. "You called it business? F*ck you, Menzel! You knew that my company is sinking to debt and yet, you just took away my chance of restoring it!" I shouted at him before I took the bouquet of flower from the table and throw it in his face.

The flowers fell on the floor, but Kyrie's eyes were glued to mine.

"Does it hurt?" He asked with no emotion in his voice.

"W-What?" I asked him in disbelief.

"I mean.." He stood up and walked toward me with a fierce look in his eyes.

I don't know but my instinct made me do a step back to keep myself away from him. I looked at Kyrie's face and I can't help but compliment how good he looked, but I can't be deceived by his looks! Kyrie managed to reach me before he raised his right hand and put his index finger on my chin.

"Does it hurt to lose a chance of restoring something, hmm, honey?" He lifted my chin a little. I tried to push him, but he was quick enough to catch my hands using his left hand before he pinned me on the wall and brought his face closer to mine as if we were about to kiss. "Does it?"

I wasn't able to understand him at first, but when I met his scorching looks, I knew right there and then that he was talking about what happened to us before.

I clenched my jaw before I gathered all my strength and pushed him hard, keeping him away from me.

I opened my mouth to tell him my reason, but I decided to just forget it and leave him in that room.

  • Tied To Her Ruthless Husband    Epilogue

    Kyrie Menzel's P. O. V."She's lovely, isn't she?" I asked my father beside me as I looked at my wife on the stage.She's now being introduced to everyone as the official heiress of the WGC and the Cole's Empire. After years of suffering in pain, my wife is now free to smile in front of everyone without any walls around her. I'm so proud of her."You really got it bad, son." I hear my father chuckle beside me. Could he blame me? I witnessed how my wife worked hard for the past three years to overcome her burdens and I couldn't be more proud than anyone else. Everyone applauded after Nathalie gave her speech and took photos with her parents. She went through a lot of greetings and congratulations before she finally reached my direction. I smiled at her before I stood up and wrapped my arms around her waist.I kissed her cheek as my right hand travels to her belly. I leaned forward and kiss her baby bump. "Kyrie.." My wife's sweet voice called for me. When I looked up to her, I saw

  • Tied To Her Ruthless Husband    Chapter 86: About A Promise

    Nathalie's P. O. V."Tyron was sent to jail as well, just some time after that, I met Kyrie and had been with him," I looked at my husband beside me while I'm telling the whole story to my father. "Though, because of what I went through when I was still in Tyron's hand, I also ran away from him. That's when uncle had me. He took me in and take care of me."I continued telling them everyday I went through, even the part where I met Kyrie again and what happened to us. But when I reached the part where I informed them about Tyron coming back and he took me with him, Dione couldn't help but to be in tears as my father comforted her. It was a strange sight for me actually, I'm not used to seeing them together.My dad was in rage after hearing everything. He even promised to use all his connections just to make Tyron pay, but Kyrie and I told him not to do anything else with that, since we'll be taking care of everything. I know it disappointed him that he can't be of help, but he still re

  • Tied To Her Ruthless Husband    Chapter 85: My Daughter's Hands

    Nathalie's P. O. V."What is this?" I heard Kyrie asking beside me. He's probably wondering now why the mother of the woman who hurt me and Kiara is right here and in front of us."Did you trap my wife here to beg for your daughter's forgiveness?" His cold and threatening voice echoed in the whole room."Kyrie, calm down, please." Dione said in a motioning her hand to Kyrie. "Let's talk calmly.""Calm? No! After everything that happened, you expect me to be f*cking calm?!" I looked at Kyrie's side when I felt his hand gripping mine tightly. "Did you blackmail her from coming here?!""Kyrie, no. There's no such thing that happened," Dione doesn't seem to know what else to say, she's probably even waiting for me to speak up."Then, what else happened, huh?! What else could be the reason my wife would tremble in fear to come here—-""Because she's my mother," I cut off Kylie's words.Kyrie looked at me with an evident surprise in his eyes. He doesn't seem to believe what I said, no… mor

  • Tied To Her Ruthless Husband    Chapter 84: Some Loving

    Nathalie's P. O. V.I was walking towards the dining room with Kisra beside me and holding my hands as I watched her carry her doll that Kai gave her yesterday.Yes, another doll for my daughter and Kai received a good speech from me yesterday after I saw what he was holding. And I'm thankful that he already left now so no one would take Kiara's attention for her father alone.After our talk and plans last night, Kyrie spent the night here with us. Though, Kiara didn't see him because she was in deep sleep even until the morning came. And now, I wanted to surprise her about what our plans would be from now on."Mommy, isn't daddy coming today?" I heard Kiara ask with her sullen voice.I chuckled before I carried her in my arms and gave her a peck in her cheeks. Kiara avoided me because of the surprise she felt but she immediately went to hug me after realizing what I would do."I have a surprise for you," I whispered to her and I saw when Kiara's eyes twinkled in excitement and happin

    Nathalie's P. O. V.I felt like I drained my blood and energy when I heard everything that he said. My body froze while looking at him and trying to understand everything I just heard from him.My eyes were watering again as I looked in horror at Kyrie. When I finally understand what he totally meant for what he said, I shake my head and cover my mouth with my hands.Never. I never thought of sending Roxy to jail for what she did to me before, when in fact, I can do it without any problem, especially that Tyron admitted it, too. But because of the fact that we're still sharing the same blood from our birth mother, I considered giving her another chance, that maybe, she can still change and leave me and Kyrie alone or at least just me and Kiara.And this? This is the payment she gave me for letting her be free from the law? She harmed my child! How did she even find out about me and Kiara? That's why the driver of the car didn't stop that night, because it was done intentionally. She d

    Nathalie's P. O. V."Nathalie!" I heard when someone shouted my name, but I ignored it. I want to sleep more, I feel so drained right now."Nathalie, open this door! Now!"I groaned before I rolled on the bed and looked for my daughter, but I couldn't feel her body beside me. I slowly opened my eyes when I heard someone banging on the door.I saw Kiara sitting beside me while rubbing her eyes. She's even about to cry because of someone who is disturbing her from sleeping.I suddenly felt annoyed because of the person outside the door so I sat on the bed and looked at the digital clock in the bedside table, only to see that it was still three in the middle of the night! Who in their right mind would make such a scene at this hour?!I clicked my tongue and when I was about to stand up, Kiara crawled on the bed and went to hug me. I carried her in my arms before I walked towards the door and opened it. Kai's hand was hanging in the air and was about to hit the door again, but he stopped
