Semua Bab Married to my high school bully: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Nicholas' POVI couldn’t stop staring at her. She looked stunning. The red gown she wore clung to her body like it was made just for her. I found myself mesmerized by her beauty, unable to tear my eyes away. I didn’t even realize when I started speaking to her.“Good morning,” I said softly, though it felt strange, as if my voice was drowned by the silence between us.But there was no response. I repeated myself, slightly louder this time, trying to catch her attention. Still, nothing.I felt a wave of frustration rise within me. I was already on edge, but now irritation started bubbling up. Before I could react further, I remembered.I was the one who had set the rules between us, the one who insisted on communicating only through text. I couldn’t say anything face to face, and neither could she. I had forced her into this rigid silence, and now I was angry that she wasn’t responding. But it wasn’t her fault,at least not directly. It was mine.I let out a frustrated sigh and turned t

Nicholas’ POV“Mum! Dad! This is so unbelievable,are you kidding me right now?” I asked, my voice rising in disbelief.“We’re telling you the truth,” Mum said, her tone unwavering. “We had to act before it was too late. You didn’t seem ready at all.”“You guys are so cruel. I can’t believe this. Can’t you help them without getting anything in return?” I demanded, trying to keep my frustration in check.“We’re sorry, Nicholas,” Mum said, her voice softer now, but still pleading. “But please, consider us too. We had no choice.”I cut her off before she could say more. “Please leave me alone. Don’t talk to me,” I said, my anger and confusion rising.I walked out on them , my heart pounding in my chest. How could they do this? How could my parents act so selfishly, pushing me into a marriage for their own gain? I blamed myself for allowing them to manipulate me like this, agreeing to marry someone like Mia—someone who had once been my first love but had turned into the one person I loathe

Mia's POVI couldn't think straight anymore. All I knew was that I was done for if Nicholas found out that I had gone ahead and spilled the truth to his mother. Panic rose in my chest like a suffocating wave, and my mind raced for a way out.“What do you mean, Mia?” She asked again, her voice laced with confusion. My heart skipped a beat.Nicholas’ presence sent a cold shiver through me. I could feel his eyes on me, sharp and piercing, as though he could see right through me. And then, just like that, an idea popped into my head, an idea to get myself out of this mess.“I mean, how can I manage someone so sweet like him?” I began, my voice trembling but steady. “He’s even the one managing me because he’s so perfect in everything. I’m just so lucky he’s my husband. If I had another life, I would wish he could be my husband again.”I didn’t even realize when I exhaled deeply, the weight lifting from my chest. It was as if a peace had washed over me, the lie feeling strangely comforting.

Mia’s POVI stared at the car and tried to imagine where I had seen it before.I screamed immediately when I remembered that it looked like the car Nicholas had taken from me.“What?” I screamed.“No, it can't be. It’s probably a mix-up,” I thought, still trying to think about how she got the car when I shook my head. And before I knew it, I heard Nicholas’s cold voice, and fear gripped me immediately.What is happening? Why is he acting so strangely? Where the hell is he taking me? Why can’t he at least allow me to see Charlotte while she drives out of the compound?I wanted to talk, but I couldn’t say anything. Words couldn’t come out of my mouth because I was really scared.We drove out of the compound, and I turned back to watch Charlotte while she entered her car.“Why is he suddenly taking me out to grab something?” I thought.“Grab something? That’s not possible. Or could it be that he is trying to act like a sweet husband in front of my friend, who is also his high school mate

Nicholas POV What could have happened to my mum?Just moments ago, she was fine—smiling, chatting like always. And now… now she’s lying unconscious, fighting for her life. My heart pounded like a drum as I sat in the cold hospital corridor. My palms were sweaty, my legs numb. None of this made sense.And all I could think about was her.Mia.If only she had never come into our lives again. Maybe things would’ve stayed peaceful.many things keeps happening in my life lately,to the extent that someone is even pregnant for me out of wedlock and now my my mum is in the middle of life and death. I clenched my fists, trying to hold back the rage building inside me.Hot tears streamed down my cheeks before I could stop them. I didn’t even bother to wipe them away.Could she… could Mia have really done something to hurt my mum?No. That would be insane.But then again, how is it that pain always follows her? First in high school—when she ruined my life—and now this?How do I cope with this ag
