Unraveling Him Chapter 17 - Red riding hood and the big bad wolf
Natalie's POVHe is here. Right here. Right in front of me.He came to see me first.He came to see me for god's sake!Oh dear lord, can it be that my biggest crush ever is crushing back on me? Does that ever happen?His eyes, that deep green I wanna lay in for so long stared back at me with so much tenderness, like he really missed me, like he is trying to take into every detail there is on my face before he would have to leave again.Oh, he is leaving again..."So, what brings you back here, not that I am complaining or anything," I asked, both curious and praying it's something that would keep him here for as long as possible.My question had the look in his eyes shift and he shook his head, "Just work," He answered, just as vague as usual.My eyebrow raised, "Work?" I gave him a knowing look, "I know your work," I mimicked loading a gun with my fingers and pointed it at him, squinting an eye as if I am shooting, referring to his...work.My childish behavior had his lips twitch, fi
Unraveling Him Chapter 18 - In my story, you're the hero
Emma's POVI work up alone in bed.Alone.That motherfucking Roman wasn't here.I looked at my phone and saw the time almost hitting twelve in the afternoon. I groaned and buried my face deeper into the pillow; sleeping late wasn't my thing till that fucker knocked me up. I placed my hand over my stomach, talking with the small little bean, "You are draining all of my energy, and it's becoming really hard to love you, you know that," I groaned.I rubbed a hand over my face before I got up to my feet, my body aching and tired. Great.On lazy footsteps, I washed my face and changed my clothes before I left the room, searching for my lame excuse of a husband, and ready to make up a fight since he didn't wake me up earlier. I reached the kitchen but he wasn't anywhere in sight. Instead, my eyes fell onto his mother as she moved around, preparing food or something and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, as if I needed to wake up to this."Morning, sweetie," She said, noticing my presence,
Unraveling Him Chapter 19 - Everything you touch, dies
Nikolas's POVThe sound of the bomb exploding was like a shock that rocked all through my body. The silence was gone and replaced with the aftermath of the attack. Everything happened in a blur. My feet acted on their own accord, and I was running toward the house.My heart raced wildly in my chest and the second I barged in, Roman was clearing everyone else's way out. My eyes took a quick scan, they drifted from Cara to Lilly, who was tightly held in her mother's arms and my heart sank down, "Where is Alex?" I asked Cara, my voice barely audible under the pressure the explosion left.She blinked in shock, the fact that I am here didn't seem like something she was aware of. Her gaze drifted behind her, for a mere second, checking, as her hand pressed over the back of Lilly's head, "He is getting...Max," She mumbled, the amount of fear in her eyes and voice pushed me inside after I ordered Roman to take them to a safer place.My feet slightly faltered to a stop as I tried to focus my v
Unraveling Him Chapter 20 - Mushy and whatnot
Natalie's POVI wanted to hit him.I wanted to grab that gun he keeps around and hit him on the head with it."I won't understand?" I questioned, not caring to hide how I felt offended because how dare he, "It's my job to understand," I added, taking a step forward, frustrated at his words and actions, "For god's sake, even when you keep me at an arm's length, even when you hide away every single thing about you, even when I know you for just a couple of months now, I still understand, maybe parts only, but I do.""You killed in front of me, Nikolas, I saw in your eyes how by doing so, it soothed you," I explained, "You keep warning me, telling me that you did all these horrible things," I added, "You wanna talk about red flags, they are all over the place but that's only for someone looking at the surface," I pressed my hand over my chest, "I don't look at the surface, I studied it in books how not to look at the surface," My eyebrows pulled closer, "Do you think that if for a second
Unraveling Him Chapter 21 - Sister-Kisser
Natalie's POVFiancé?I must've heard her wrong or maybe it's another Nikolas we are talking about here...Maybe she misunderstood me or maybe I did. Maybe I am in the wrong apartment. It...it doesn't make any sense. He was with me last night, he said he liked me, he asked me to be his girlfriend.He spent half of the day with me, he went with me to see my dad, we were going to dinner tonight as a...couple.I extended the phone forward, "Give him this when he comes back," I mumbled, my tone neutral, the total opposite of the war raging in my brain. I was still trying to understand and adjust to this, because the Nikolas I know wouldn't possibly go and do something like that.But true, I only know parts of him, who am I kidding?She took the phone from my grip, her eyes drifting back to me, "Who should I tell him?"For a second there, I just looked at her, taking her features in, her brown eyes, her tanned skin, and the hint of accent in her voice that proved she wasn't from around here
Unraveling Him Chapter 22 - Ferris wheel ride
Nikolas's POVHe threw his words proudly, the smug look in his eyes proved to me he is hiding something; that one single thing which I can't put my finger on, the missing unknown in the equation, the one that could finally give me the upper hand over him.His eyes drifted to Natalie, one last time before they fell on me again, in his gaze a warning and a threat to get away from her or else. My jaw tightened, my unwavering gaze telling him I am no way near submitting to his orders. His lips twitched, hiding his sadistic smile before he ended it there and turned around, leaving, followed by his men and I tightened my arm around Emma, feeling her determination to break free and run after him.A groan rumbled from her throat and when I was sure he's gone, I loosened my grip, finally letting her go. Her chest heaved with each angry breath she took, the rage pushing in and out, spreading like wildfire over the skin of her neck and painting it red, "He should die," She grated out, her eyes o
Unraveling Him Chapter 23 - Us against the world
Nikolas's POVShock and anger swirled in my chest at the news and his insistence to hide it from me. Their voices faded away for a second or two as I tried to grasp this new fact, my mind going around in a loop, coming to terms with how this affects different aspects of my life.Isaac...he is keeping the kid away from everyone. Why?And Natalie, her baby brother is alive and she has no clue."How did you know?" Ronald's voice broke through my many thoughts, shaking me back to the present, my eyes drifting up to his face, to the confusion radiating off his eyes in waves, "How do you know his name?"The shock faded away, leaving me with an immense rage, it pushed me forward, my mind blanking out, it short-circuited, failing to think logically. My hand landed on Alex's arm, pushing him out of my way as I reached for Ronald. My fingers wrapped over his collar, pulling him closer before my other hand collided with his face, the force of my punch pushing him, and he stumbled backward. I was
Unraveling Him Chapter 24 - The three N's
Natalie's POV"What did you do?" I asked again when he didn't answer, his previous tone scaring the hell out of me, and the worst scenarios cooked up in my mind.When it comes to his lifestyle, I can't help but think of the unthinkable.He just rested the side of his head over my chest, pretty much comfortable. My hand moved from his cheek to his hair, running my fingers through it and smoothing it back. I couldn't deny that I was partially enjoying this little moment by having him this close, he isn't usually the very touchy type, but drunk him is breaking all the rules."Nikolas," I called for him again."Hmm?" He said, nuzzling his head as if I am the most comfortable pillow ever."You said you did something, what happened?" I asked, "You're getting me worried."He just shook his head, "Shush, let's not talk about that," He mumbled and as I stared down at his innocent expression, I couldn't hold back my smile and shook any other thought away. If it's serious, he will tell it to me
