Chapter- 52 It was a weekend, Jorge came out of the airport carrying his small travel bag. He’s wearing a black shirt and black slacks and sunglasses covering his blue eyes. He looked like a greek god in modern attire.  He removed his sunglasses when he spotted Julia waiting for him and his lips curled in a smile. When Julia saw him, she ran to him with a smile. He lifted her from the ground and her hands, legs were wrapped around him in a strong embrace. She didn’t mind doing such a thing in public because she missed him that much. It’s been two weeks since they met. He started kissing her when she stood on her feet. “I missed you, baby,” he said.  She smiled and stood away from him to take a proper look at hi

That’s when he could feel better.Andrei isn’t happy with the way Nick has crashed one of his businesses and he has lost millions in this. In the past year, Andrei has maintained low and living a normal life looking after his business but this again tempting him to put the revenge on. He can’t leave this matter; he can’t accept this failure and he’s never going to back down like his father.He took his phone and called his uncle. “I want you to kill him now, don’t give me any fucking excuse.

Chapter- 55Naomi is sitting in the garden silently and she didn’t look anywhere except her phone. Her thoughts were all on Nick. She’s waiting for the call from Jorge.That time, Julia came with coffee and some potato chips.“Nat, you didn’t eat anything? At least have this coffee,” she said.Naomi finally realized that she should eat, at least for her baby. So she got that mug and sipped the coffee.She looked dull more than she ever was.Nick was shot two times, in the shoulder and chest. It’s critical but he survived. Obviously, the person responsible for this is Andrei.“Nat. I know my brother, he’s such a strong person so don’t worry, okay,”She nods but nothing can comfort her at this time. It’s only Nick, his voice and his assurance that he’s okay are what she’s yearning for right now.“You know what Julia. I am so afraid right now,

Look at your kingdom,” he chuckled softly.Naomi smiled, still thinking this is a dream.“Darling open your eyes and look at this ocean. Don’t waste time sleeping here,” he said and yes, she could hear the sound of the ocean.Naomi left a small sigh and opened her eyes to look at the blue sea from the window.She smiles and her gaze turns to Nick.“Isn’t that beautiful?” he asks. “Yes,” she nods smiling at him.“Now, wake up. I want to go there with you,” he said.“Give me five minutes, please,” she requested, squinting her eyes. He can’t deny it when she does that expression.“Fine,”When he was about to get up, sh
