Dressed in a pair of blue trousers and a white Tee to match, Audrey had her hair in a ponytail as she made her way downstairs to get Nathan’s coffee for him. There she met his parents having their morning tea and her heart skipped a beat, his father obviously didn’t like her and she also didn’t want to be in his presence either but being in this house she would not be able to escape him.“Good morning Mr and Mrs Hernandez” she bowed respectfully but the man ignored her and focused his attention on the television while Louisa gave her a little smile.“How is Nathan?”“He is perfectly fine ma, he will take his bath and come down soon”With that she hastily entered the kitchen leaving the husband and wife duo to themselves.“Are you trying to bring your military tactics into this house?” Louisa couldn’t help but ask.“I don’t want her to be overly comfortable here, I don’t want her as my daughter in law”Louisa raised an eyebrow while slurping her on tea, “then you prefer Vanessa then?”
Bruno sauntered into the office, the whole building was already flooded by reporters and he was finding it hard to control things. Not like he couldn’t do it but it was overwhelming at this point and the only thing he could do now was call his boss but Mrs Hernandez specifically warned him to always call her first and not Nathan but who would have thought that the reporters would flood the Avanti building this morning to ask about Nathan and his wife?Bruno was pacing up and down his office when the door creaked open and the secretary entered looking all flustered, Nathan was going to hang them all from a pool if he found out the serenity of his office was in jeopardy.“What should we do, sir?” The lady asked immediately, “they are too plenty and even the security is having the hardest time in chasing them out, I don’t think they will leave without anyone talking to them”“Have you tried calling the chairwoman?” Bruno inquired back.“Yes sir” the secretary nodded, “she isn’t answering
Oblivious of what was going on, the two of them were at the back of the car while bunny kept driving around. Audrey couldn’t lie, this was the most beautiful Island she has ever seen and it was so detailed. Billions of dollars were spent on making this island look as beautiful as it is and it was worth it.“You seem to enjoy your tour” Nathan’s voice filtered into her ears and she turned to him with a huge smile on his face.“Of course Nathan, this is very beautiful”“I actually wanted to bring you here after we got engaged like this was supposed to be your engagement gift but it was not possible” the pain he felt was much worse than he could even comprehend, he was just thirty and he was already suffering so much.Audrey couldn’t believe her ears, this was her sister’s engagement gift? What more did this man have installed for Vanessa and how rich was he to even own a private island?“Isn’t this too much for an engagement gift?” She had to ask and the man nodded in the negative.“Com
The moment she heard the door unlock, Louisa rushed over and heaved a sigh when she saw it was Nathan and Audrey, the time was already past eight before they came back home and she was worried sick. Ever since Nathan came to rice island, this was the first time he had gone out to get some air and it was because of the girl beside him.Louisa didn’t know if it was a good or bad thing but she sure didn’t like it.“Hey, I was getting worried about you Nathan” she Made her way to where Audrey was standing and gently gestured her to move, “why didn’t you call that you will be staying out late?”“I was with Nessa and bunny mum, what could have gone wrong?”“Have you had dinner yet? I made your favorite”“I am full mum” he answered with an eye roll, “can you just stop acting like this? I can take care of myself, okay?”“Sure?” Louisa gave a little smile before turning to Audrey, “Let's have a little conversation, okay?”“Sure ma’am”Nathan didn’t even have the energy to exchange words with
Audrey slowly opened her eyes and had to shield her face from the morning sun while yawning lightly. The incident of the night before became fresh in her memory and she could feel the color creeping up on her face. The two of them kissed for a while but before they could go the extra mile, she stopped him. The thought of Vanessa finding out that her sister made out with her man kept tormenting her and she stopped herself because she could get lost in the bliss of the moment.“Ughhh” Audrey sighed and tried to get rid of the image from her head but it was not possible, Nathan’s face continued to linger in her memories. Maybe doing something to distract herself could help.With that she quickly washed up and made her way downstairs, luckily Mrs Hernandez just left and Nathan was seated alone in the living room, he was on a call and it looked serious.“Good morning sir” shs walked over to the butler and greeted him, the man returned her gesture with a bow and a smile.“How may I help yo
Ths tense atmosphere in the room made her flinch a little before moving towards him. The saying that a loving man was the meanest when angry was true. Nathan looked so angry and she was left contemplating if she should go forward or not.“The madam is here, sir” Bunny whispered to him and Nathan finally turned his attention to the door but he didn’t have any expression on his face, it was like he didn’t even want her to be there.“You can go bunny” Nathan ordered and he bowed before leaving the room.“I brought you some cookies Nathan, want some?” Audrey asked with an awkward look.“No, I am busy with work. You can enjoy on your own”His voice was devoid of any emotion and Audrey felt bad for even saying she could draw, she was creating more obstacles for her sister and that was not her goal. It was a slip of the tongue and now….“I am sorry Nathan” she dropped the tray of cookies on the table and walked over to him, “I am sorry i didn’t tell you because I felt it was insignificant, i
“Hey baby” Nathan placed a kiss on her forehead before taking his seat beside her while Audrey returned his kiss with a nod even if she knew he was not seeing her. This was a day after their squabble and luckily everything was already settled. She was watching her favorite cartoon while he just laid on the couch and placed his head on her thighs.“What are you watching?”“Paw patrol” Audrey answered without removing her eyes from the screen and the man’s eyes opened wide.“You said what?” Nathan wanted to believe he heard her correctly.This time around, Audrey turned her eyes away from the television and looked at him.“Paw patrol, didn’t you hear me?”Nathan jumped up from her thighs with a bizarre look on his face, “like the cartoon show?”“Hm” she nodded, “that’s like my favorite”“But you love serial killers documentaries”She cringed at the mention of that, yes she knew Vanessa loved serial documentaries but Audrey had never found it entertaining. Like how would a normal perso
“Nice meeting you, Mrs Hernandez” the ceo of Dior stretched out his hand for a shake but the woman ignored him and placed her limited edition bag on the table before taking her seat. Avanti was boldly designed on the bag and she was here to show class and poise. This was a power of supremacy and power, the art of who was first in the game.“We should get to the point, Nathan can not be here today and we can’t postpone the meeting because of his absence” Mrs Hernandez began to say, “I believe you already know why I wanted to meet you, Mr Delphine?”The old man chuckled lightly as he leaned back on the chair, “I heard the chairwoman of Avanti is rude but i didn’t think i would be experiencing it first hand”“What do you mean?” The old lady raised an eyebrow, “did you have someone do a check on me?”“Why don’t we go to business Mrs Hernandez? For all I know, the ceo of Avanti can not be here today and I will have to deal with you, should I call you the brand face? You all hide him like h
