Chapter 41

ONIKA'S POVThe look on his face was priceless and I secretly marveled at how easily I had changed his mood severally in an hour.Starting from the defeat on his face downstairs to the smile on his face when he came upstairs then cocky look on his face as he proposed to the confusion when I said no and now the shock and anger warring in his face.“Deal?” I asked to be sure, wondering how he expected to do it.He shut his eyes, his lips pressed into a thin line. “Yes” he gritted out.I smiled at him, folding my hands. “You can now leave the room. Two days” I reminded but this time he didn't bother to answer me about that, he simply muttered a good night and stalked out of the room, his steps filled with determination.As soon as he left the room, I let out a deep breath that I didn't know I was holding before. That was one thing out of the way now. The question was that “would he do it?” His mum would rather die than do that but either way, I wouldn't care what she said. If she wanted

Chapter 42

NATHAN'S POV“Drive fast. I need to be at the office in an hour” I grumbled to my driver, not really feeling in the mood to drive myself today.Everything has been going shitty but the worst of all was my mum's reaction when I had told her that she had to apologize to Onika. I hadn't even gotten to explain to her before she went ballistic and said she would never apologize to Onika and then she called her names that were far from appropriate.She had not let me say another word before she cut the call so I had to call her back again. She had accepted at last and I promised to see her after work. She would have to do it, I couldn't afford to risk Onika getting angry over this and I could understand Onika's anger, she has always endured my mum's words in the past since she didn't want to anger me but now, there was nothing left to lose so she refused to be insulted by my mum again and now, I was caught in the crossfire because I couldn't put a leash on my mum around her.Fuck, I was rea

Chapter 43

ONIKA'S POV“Up or down…?” I muttered, looking in the mirror that evening, my hand in my hair as I mulled over how to wear my hair for the evening.Nathan wasn't still back so I guessed that he had gone for the business trip already meaning there was no one to bug me.Kent had sent the details for the dinner and it was at this really fancy restaurant. This wasn't a date, it was a celebratory dinner and I just wanted to forget everything and have fun this night.The paparazzi was already aware of Kent's and I relationship before the announcement of my engagement to Nathan so it wouldn't be too surprising if people saw Kent and I in public, we were friends before and we went out for stuff like this so I knew that this couldn't implicate me.As I finally decided to leave my hair down, I quickly put on my gown, a fairly long dress that was loose and pretty comfortable. I had paired it with black boots and my small silver bag then I was ready to go.As I got downstairs, I looked around the

Chapter 44

ONIKA'S POVBy the time dinner was over, I was still staring at Damien, a frown on my face. He hadn't still explained what he was doing here.I had thought he would stay behind. Did Nathan ask him to come with me even though I had told him not to?The thought made me mad instantly and I felt like calling Nathan, not caring if he was busy or not.Laura who was still sitting beside me, kept staring at Damien, a dreamy look on her face. “You look really hot right now…” she whispered, a smile on her face.That was the fifth compliment that she had thrown at him in the last two minutes but he hadn't replied to any one of them.I was more focused on my food and just enjoying this night but I knew that Kent wanted to say something.He was staring at me pointedly and when I couldn't put up with it anymore, I sighed and spoke up. “Kent, can I see you outside?” I asked.He looked taken aback by my request, his eyes widening slightly. “What? Oh yeah sure” he quickly said.I nodded and stood up,

Chapter 45

NATHAN'S POVThe meeting was stressful as hell and by the time I had come back to the hotel that night, I was exhausted and ready to just have a good night's rest yet several thoughts plagued my mind, making sleep flee from me.Gina had been in my office as she had said yesterday and for once I thought the woman would have something to say but just as guessed, it was just to throw shade on Onika and say that I was making a big mistake by choosing Onika over her but it wasn't too late to change that.Luckily, I got her led out of the company before I could hear any more of that bullshit.Going to see my mum was another hill on its own and the conversation was seared into my brain.When I had gone there, she looked mad at me but she offered me food and made me sit down before she started telling me all the reasons why Onika wanted to ruin our lives but I had just cut her short, wanting to explain to her what I had said over the phone.“Mum, that's not important” I had cut her off impati

Chapter 46

ONIKA'S POV I was scared as I sat down in my office that morning, my mind kept mulling over the news, the gazes that my employees had given me when I walked into the company that day.This wasn't looking good for me right now.Amara knocked on the door to my office and walked in, her eyes tired but a smile on her face.“Good morning, ma'am” She greeted cheerfully, a smile on her face as always.I rubbed at my face, not wanting to look as wanton as I felt. “Is there something going on? I don't have any meetings scheduled for now” I said, my voice hoarse Should I call Nathan? I had received his text but I had ignored it because I knew ri was certain that he had seen the news already so how would I explain it? Be knew that there was nothing between Kent and I, not like I cared what he thought but this was looking bad for my company.Fuck.What would people say? The press had made it like Kent and I were a thing which was far from the truth.The sound of Amara's voice brought me out of

Chapter 47

ONIKA'S POVIt had been five whole hours,, and I had been occasionally checking my phone to know if the news would somehow come back, but it never came back, and I began to wonder if it was all just a dream.But as Amara came to inform me that the meeting would soon start, I realized it wasn't a dream,, and I would have to explain my partnership with M.r. Sam Damon and then this new issue that had just arisen.“I'll be there in 5 minutes” I muttered to her, grabbing my phone from the table as I prepared to go to the meeting room.As I walked out of the office, I went straight to the meeting room and Amara was at the door already waiting for me.“Mr Sam Damon has sent someone from his team to represent him as he's currently not in the country. His name is Mr Liam. He's inside with the shareholders” She informed me, giving me a heads-up.I nodded, thanking her before I walked in with her following closely behind me.Amara had taken her seat near the corner, her notepad in hand, ready to

Chapter 48

ONIKA'S POV I wanted to protest and insist on using my car to go back to the mansion but the look on Damien's face as I opened my mouth made me stop and grudgingly hand over my car keys to him.“Keep it safe” I grunted to him, suddenly feeling my happy mood float away into the sky at the recent change of things.He smiled and collected it, the sight a bit weird to look at. “Don't worry, I'll keep it safe” He smirked. “That's my job”Without waiting for a non existent reply, he walked out of the company, leaving me in the corridor.Silently muttering a curse under my breath, I walked to Amara where she was still talking to Mr Liam but she excused herself to come to me, leaving him to go over the documents she had given him for the financial reports fo finalize everything in that aspect.“Yes ma'am?” She asked, her eyes curious and confused.I pointed to behind me. “My fiance is here right now so I have to go now. Make sure to clock out once it's time, okay? Get some rest and please go

Chapter 49

NATHAN'S POVThe next day, I had spoken to Mr Sam Damon and made the arrangements with him again, imploring him not to reveal it to anyone. Onika would be pissed off if she found out what I was doing and she would label me a liar and the last thing I was for that to happen.Besides, Mr Sam was benefitting from the arrangement also so it was a win-win for us both.When I had come back from work by evening, I had just come to pick Onika so we could get over with the meeting and go back home to relax.Onika was already getting ready for the interview. I came home by 5pm, she wasn't in the living room and when I had walked up the stairs to her room, I had heard the sound of the shower running which made me know that she was in the bathroom getting ready.I had seen her door open which was the reason why I had walked in to check on her, I noticed that the painting was still right there above her bed and then I noticed something on her bedside table so I went closer to it, realizing that it

Chapter 50

ONIKA'S POV Both of them were looking like I had said the most shocking thing that they'd heard, but if I was to go by what Willow had done to me over the years, I would have treated her to a worse punishment to shame her publicly so people knew the monster that she was.Nathan didn't object, he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, a curse escaping his lips.“Onika…” he said, his voice low but warning like I shouldn't do something like that.If I did, Willow would probably look for more ways to make my life hell. We were way past that.Willow spoke up, interrupting my haze of thoughts. “If you think that I will get on my knees for you to apologize to you just so you can marry my son, then you're poorly mistaken; Nathan would never let me do that; I'm his mother!” She hissed at me, all forms of mock apology gone from her face replaced by the bitch I was used to seeing.I matched her gaze, my eyes dim. “And what makes you so sure? Nathan wouldn't let you do that. You're important
