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
Unraveling Him Chapter 25 - Weapons don't weep
Nikolas's POV"Yes, and to that we are forever grateful, right Matteo?" Mia said, nudging her bodyguard slash boyfriend with her elbow, asking him to suck it up.I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at his whining before I handed him the envelope, "Everything you need is here, new IDs, passports," I explained, "The jet will take you to a town, far away from here, where no one would ever think to look for you. I have someone there to pick you up and get you settled down," I added, I had everything taken care of, "You never step a foot in London again, and you'll be doing us both a favor.""It's the last thing I want to do anyway," Matteo mumbled, more to himself, proving to me I am kind of doing the right thing.Mia whispered something before she let go of his hand and stepped forward, facing me. Her boyfriend took a couple of steps backward, leaving us to speak alone per her request. He leaned his back against the car and crossed his arms over his chest, his narrowed gaze focused on me
Unraveling Him Chapter 26 - It didn't bring him back
Natalie's POVI didn't understand a single thing.Not that I ever do when it comes to Nikolas and his messed-up life.But that didn't stop me from crouching down beside the little kid, taken aback by the immense agony in his beautiful eyes. My heart ached and I forced on a smile, warmly approaching him when he seemed to be distancing himself away from everyone, whether it's from Nikolas, or the other kids playing around the small field.He placed his small hand in mine, shaking it, "It's Christian," He mumbled when I asked for his name, hesitant to be telling such information to a full stranger but my warm approach gave him the slightest comfort as he added, "But you can call me Chris."My head tilted as I gazed at him some more, trying to understand his situation. He looked too skinny for his age, not the healthy type but the one coming from improper nutrition. His skin was whitish pale and the eyes that should be all bright and innocent at this age, looked so broken, severely pullin
Unraveling Him Chapter 27 - Big boss mafia
Nikolas's POVMy eyes were only on her, studying her expression, her body language, and embracing myself for the worst. She blinked, the shock wrapped up with the bitter realization as she gazed at him, her lips parted, out of words, and in a span of a second only, all of that faded away and was replaced with utter disbelief and anger."Natalie," Ronald breathed out, still very much in shock to make sense of the situation.His voice fired her up more, the blue of her eyes darkened, the bag in her hand fell to the floor as she angrily marched forward and without uttering a single word, her hand went and harshly collided with his face, the slap resonating with an echo into the silent house. My eyes slightly grew wider, not expecting this much hostility from her side. Alex's mouth dropped open, "What the-," He mumbled, gaping at the scene that played ahead of us, so unaware of the facts behind it.Natalie didn't say a thing, but she was panting, her rage sucking all the oxygen away from
