Nathan finally disengaged from her when her cries died down a little but seeing how puffy her face was, his heart broke into a thousand pieces. He promised not to make her cry and here he was, making her wail in agony.Nathan stretched out his hand and cleaned the tears that stained her face,“I am sorry for making you cry baby, it breaks my heart to see you in this kind of a situation. I was just being….”“Shhhh” she placed her index finger on his lips, “you don’t have to apologize anymore Nathan, it’s okay. I acted out of the ordinary and I was irrational, you were just looking out for me and I was just being a jerk and selfish” a fresh set of tears welled up in her eyes, “I am sorry baby”“Please don’t cry anymore, Nessa” he pulled her closer, “I can’t bear the fact that you are crying and i can’t do anything about it. I can’t even see the look on your face at this point and I am sorry about that”Tears also welled up in his eyes, seeing her like this broke his heart into a chokehol

Mrs Hernandez excused herself and walked out of the conference room into her own office, the question Nathan asked her was a bit disturbing.“What do you mean, Nathan? What are you talking about? Did she do something for you think like that?“Where did you find her mum?” He asked back, “I don’t need you to ask me questions with questions mum, I need answers”“You have to tell me what happened first Nathan, what is the matter”She heard the man from the other side heave a sigh, “she made me mushroom pudding when I don’t eat it and she knows I don’t like mushroom pudding”Louisa felt her heart leave her body for a moment, “what? She did that?”“Where did you find her, mum?” He sounded so irritated and Louisa could totally understand his predicament, she messed up bigtime.“ I had some men look for her and we found her in L.A”“Did anything happen to her? Like an accident or something?”“How am I supposed to know son? I really don’t know and I didn’t have enough time to ask her all thos

“Wake up sleepy head” Nathan whispered into her ear and Audrey slowly opened her eyes and a slight yawn followed.“Is it morning already?” She asked in an almost inaudible voice and Nathan burst out laughing.“You sound so tired, baby”“Then who made me tired?” She rolled her eyes before glancing at the wall clock, “7pm?” Audrey’s eyes opened wide as saucers, “did I sleep that long?”“Hmm, you were tired so I told no one to wake you up”The memory of the steamy day they had became fresh in her memory and Audrey could feel color creeping up on her face, the blood rush was massive.“Are you blushing right now?”“Of course not” she sneered and tried to climb out of bed but he drew her back and she landed in his embrace.“Trying to escape?” He teased, “a few hours ago you were shivering in my arms right?”“Pervert” Audrey rolled her eyes but that didn’t stop her lips from curling into a smile, “you are a bad boy”“I know right?” Nathan held onto her tightly as he sniffed her hair, her na

Audrey twirled for the umpteenth time in front of the mirror as she forced her lips to curl into a smile.The maroon colored dress stood out impeccably on her body and the bright rouge on her lips made her look more alluring. The gown was bare to the shoulder and it had slit cutting up to the thighs making her hourglass figure look more natural and defined. Her hair was pulled back into French pleats and she looked magnificent.Audrey could hardly believe she was the one standing in front of the mirror, this was the first time she has ever dressed like this except for her fake wedding.“You look pretty” Louisa said to her as she placed a hand on her shoulder, “Nathan made the right choice”“Technically, this is for my sister and she would have looked beautiful in this”“This is particularly for you, Audrey. Nathan had this designed a few days after you came here, he didn’t make it for the Nessa that was in his mind but the one who was in front of him”Audrey smiled at the woman and tu

His statement made Nathan ball his hand into a fist while his eyes darkened, he could let his father talk down on him but not his Vanessa. Not the woman he wanted to get married to, not the woman who was about to be the mother of his children.This was not how he planned the night for his baby and this was not how he intended for things to happen, he didn’t even invite his father here so why the hell was he here?“Why didn’t anyone tell me about the engagement?” Ethan asked again, “no one told me anything and I am just finding out. Is that even right? I mean I am supposed to know right? This is your big day and I am being treated like a guest?”“What right do you have to talk to Vanessa like that?” He said through gritted teeth.“What?” Audrey pressed down on his hand gently to make him keep quiet but Nathan would hear nothing of it, anyone disrespecting his woman was not allowed near him.“If you are here to cause a scene, I suggest you leave Mr Hernandez”“You….”His wife interrupte
