Thompson nodded and forcefully stretched and curled up his lips. He didn't like the fact that his son wanted to marry a girl with such a past. Having an ex wasn't the problem but having an ex with such a bad attitude was the problem. "What is his name?" "Drake Denholm...You may not know him!" Nik said, as his father has got totally disconnected from the wicked and tiresome business world. "Is he the son of James Denholm and Amara?" Thompson asked with his eyes wide open, and brows arched. He appeared as if shocked, but what was there to get shocked? Hearing the name 'Amara', Lily narrowed her eyes over Nik's father. 'How does he know?' She doesn't even know Drake's mother's name. All that she knew was his mother died when he was ten years old. However, even though she was alive, Lily highly doubts if she would be given any priority or respect. She rarely saw husbands in the business world treat their wives as equals. Unlike the Cooper family, most businessmen mistreat and look down

"What happened?" She cried, 'Shouldn't I be the one to cry?' But there wasn't any response except for the continuous and loud banging. She rubbed her face in frustration, she didn't want Emily or Thompson to wake up. She took her used dress and opened the door. "What the hell?" Nik just pushed her to the side and dashed to the sink. "Urgh! Urgh!" While he was struggling, Lily took new clothes from the cupboard, sat on the bed and covered herself with the blanket. She hurriedly put on her pyjamas inside and ran towards the bathroom. She switched on the bathroom light, which Nik must was turned off while slamming the door. She stood behind him and rubbed his back until he stopped vomiting. "Why do you have to drink and why do you have to vomit it?" she groaned. Nik was breathing heavily, and his chest was rising and falling rapidly. He was done with vomiting and even washed his face, but seeing Nik's restlessness, Lily tensed. Wheezing sounds echoed in the bathroom. "Are you okay?"

Nik wanted to hit his forehead, but alas, his hand was tied up. "Just leave it now!" He growled. Kai immediately put the phone on silent and ran to the bathroom. He made Nik stand and removed the blanket, leaving Nik naked with just a blue bag tied to her arm. "Remove this too!" Nik hissed. As he was completely naked, Nik put his other hand over Kai and walked towards the shower. "There is stool here. Why don't you sit on the stool and take a shower? I will adjust the shower downwards." Kai suggested and made Nik sit on the stool. "Why do you have to drink so much?" Kai sighed. "Leave! Just go and prepare my clothes, food and some medicine for this headache. We have many things to deal with today." Nik sat before the warm striking water and literally meditated. He wanted to stay away from relationships and marriages but at last, he decided on having a contract marriage to satisfy his parents. What was the result of it? The same - the tension, worry and time waste he didn't want

"When will you be back?" Nik looked at Kai. "May be one week!" Lily wanted to ask if he could take her with him, but before she could open her mouth, Nik voiced, "Kai, assign her a bodyguard and ask him to drive Lily back home. And Lily, you can contact Kai in case of any emergency." Lily's heart sunk in sadness. 'Come back to reality,' she reminded herself. She wasn't expecting an exotic or splendid honeymoon but at least she expected him to spend that night with her. "Ok," she said and put on Nik's expressionless face. "Nik, we can take a flight early in the morning. No need to rush," Kai suggested, after observing the emotional and expressional change in Lily. "Why? Are you busy today?" Kai blinked his eyes and shook his head. 'Where did their love and obscene PDA go?' He glanced at Lily who was standing with her eyes fixed on the ground. His hair on his hands raised, feeling the commotion going on in Lily's heart. Any girl would have many expectations and imaginations ab

"Bella, what are you doing?" Nik's voice echoed in the house as Bella put the phone on speaker. "I came back," she answered as she had a bite of breakfast. "What do you mean by that? We broke up and it has been a year." Bella dropped the knife and fork, creating a loud irritating sound. "Correction, babe. We didn't break up. It was just a break." She hissed, staring at their picture on the phone. "And you fucking got married just in this one year. What happened to our five-year-long relationship? Or are you bored of me?" "Bella!" "That's not what you call me, babe!" Bella clenched her jaw. Nik pursed his lips and hesitated, but was left with no choice, "Babe, we are not meant to be with each other." "Is it? Did you know that after dating me for five long years? I don't believe you. There must be something that the gold digger has more than me. What is it? Is she good at sex?" she smirked. "If that was your requirement, they are many women whom you could bang
