All Chapters of Once up on an Us: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Two days after Alba was trying to force a man into a surprised wedding, Nick and I were getting ready for a real wedding."Can you zip me up, please?" I turned my back to Nick.He kissed my shoulder before doing so."You look beautiful, Mrs Carter.""Thank you."I turned around to help Nick fasten his cufflinks, then tied his bow tie.I then slipped on my black heels that had purple straps which wrapped around my ankles to match my purple dress."Let's go."When we got to the venue, my jaws almost dropped to the floor after seeing that nothing was set up as yet."What is happening?" I glanced up at Nick."I do not know."I looked around to see if I could find Johnathan, Michael or someone to ask them what why the place looked like this."Are you sure that this is where we are supposed to be?" I asked.Truth be told, I own the place and never got a notification for a wedding booking.Nick removed the wedding invite from his top pocket and showed it to me."This can't be right," I said.

When we got back home, Nick was still silent from the boom the intoxicated Alba dropped.He headed straight for the kitchen, took down the bottle of marshmallow vodka, and took a huge gulp from it."Nick?" I touched his shoulder as he leant on the counter. I then hugged his back, giving it a kiss as I did."Did you know?"I stepped back so he could turn around."I-"He frowned. "So you knew that my father had an affair with one of my ex, got her pregnant, which caused me to leave home? You knew all this, what else do you know?" Nick clinched his fist.I gave a small nod. "You told me a lot of things.""Why didn't you say something? You knew all this time and allowed me to go back to them.""I didn't want to say anything. I was too scared that things would go further downhill. I hardly had you, and I didn't want to lose you completely. ""But why didn't you? I know you hate seeing me with them.""Nick, I'm not a selfish person. Even though I wanted to tell you so many times, I didn't w

Christenna took her husband's hand in her. "Well, Johnny. Looks like you will never be coming back here when our honeymoon is over. I wouldn't want my mother to try and kill you or get me pregnant in my sleep."They both get up, but neither made a move to leave.Michael was on his phone making calls."You will be hearing from my lawyer Gloria-Lyn, and so will you Alba." Mr Carter got up to walk out of the dining room.Nick stopped him. "Dad, even though I have no memory of that day, I want to apologise for holding a grudge against you."Mr Carter pulled him into a hug."Son, I have no hate for you. I never understood why you left so suddenly until I was fed lies by your mother. She told me you left because you went to Africa." Mr Carter then laughed. "I was just a gullible fool for believing her, not knowing she used my name."Micheal turned hateful eyes to his mother. “That's all you do. Tell lies. I went to see Sabrina after she had my son. When I asked you who the child really belo

I was glad when the Dr Lynch said Nick could go home, but what made me even happier was that he remembered, he truly remembered.I couldn't help my smile as we left the hospital.I noticed Nick putting on his seat belt without me telling him to."I will never not wear this again," he said.I reached over to kiss him."You better, or else I will kill you myself."Nick gave a nervous chuckle. "I believe you."Before I could drive away, I saw Alba coming out of the hospital."What are you going to do about them?""I won't say anything to my sister, that's for sure. I don't see the reason for breaking up what she and Johnathan have because, from what Alba said, the two of them slept together before he and Christenna were together. As for my mother. Well, she just reminds me of why I left home, it had aways been her. And now she has no one because of her ways."I held his hand."Just know that no matter what happens, I will always be here for you."''I know, thank you."When we got home, t

"Can I just take the blind food off? This is giving me anxiety." I asked."Not yet, just ten more minutes and I'll show you."I could feel the car coming to a stop, Nick getting out, then him coming around my side of the car."Ok, just trust me." He said, taking my hand.Instead of making me walk, Nick allowed me to climb on his back. After walking for a while, he stopped and place me on my feet."Ok, you can take the blindfold off."When I did, I noticed we were standing in a big open land."This is where our house will be." Nick grinned.I did a three sixty spin, to get a full view."So, it is a little bigger than I thought. The owner doesn't want it anymore and is willing to take any money from it, as long as I build a home. What do you think?""Have you done a survey to see what was wrong?""Nothing is wrong, just that there is a cliff at the back. But it is perfect otherwise.""And he is willing to take anything for it?""I mean, he is my uncle. So, yes.""I was also thinking tha
