Chapter forty one

Margot's POVPure chos, that was the only thing that was coming into my mind as I watched the situation unwinding in the conference room. People were shouting in disbelief, and the press was asking questions, sensing hot material. I caught a glimpse of Reed's face; it flickered between rage and fear every couple of seconds. And in the middle of this disaster stood Nathan. He was steady as a rock, answering any question thrown his way. If I were not so overwhelmed, I would stare at him with admiration. Now, his whole plan was crystal clear. That was what he meant by taking back what was mine. He had planned this down to the smallest details, leaving Reed unable to defend himself. When I saw my projects on the screen, I thought I had lost everything I had worked so hard for. Sam would leave this place as the winner, while I would be defeated. I thought he somehow managed to crack my code. With all Reed's money and sources, it would not be impossible. " Miss Roberts, is this true?"

Chapter forty-two.

Nathan's POV I was still inwardly gloating when Lucy entered my office without knocking. One look at her pinched face told me there was some bad news waiting for me. Previous happiness instantly faded as I looked at my best friend shifting from foot to foot, like a student who was caught smoking behind the school's gym. " Okay, you have my full attention. What is going on?" I asked, sitting behind my desk. Lucy bit her lip and lowered her head. An unpleasant feeling nested in my chest. She had never had an issue with delivering bad news. This was freaking me out. " Say something. What happened?" Lucy finally raised her head, and I noticed ho pale her skin was. She seemed terrified. " For fu*k sake, speak! I do not like this suspense." My voice rose dangerously. "There was a call... from the hospital," she finally said, hesitantly. " When you were gone."" Hospital?" I have asked, trying to process her words. " Did something happen to my parents?" Panic made my heart race. What

Chapter forty three

Margot's POVI let out a deep breath and leaned back in my chair. My eyes hurt, and I was sleep-deprived, but all the pieces were finally falling into place. All my projects were secured, and they belonged to me and me only. No one could claim any of my work again. It felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders; I could breathe freely. And all of that was possible thanks to Nathan's effort. He showed me light where I could only see the darkness. He showed me kindness, while I showed him the lack of trust. And wanted nothing in exchange. Not to mention how he made me feel in bed. Involuntarily, a moan escaped my lips, making me giggle. Was my life finally finding its path- the right one this time? I could not deny that Nathan slowly became an important part of my life. Not because he made me his business partner, but because I generally enjoyed his presence, even if I tried not to admit it out loud. Maybe because I was still too scared to let those feelings bloom. Scar afte

Chapter forty four

Nathan's POV " Fu*k!" I cursed, slamming my hand over the top of my desk. What the hell was wrong with me? Margot ran away from my office, almost in tears, after I yelled at her for nothing. I could not take my anger out on the only person who was innocent in this whole mess. I fixed my clothes and rushed to the door, but Lucy grabbed my arm, stopping me.Great, now she would scold me for being a complete prick. " Not now, I have to do something," I said before she could say anything, ready to yank my hand from her grip. I knew I messed it up; she did not have to tell me this again. " Let her be," Lucy replied instead, taking me by surprise. " Are you crazy? I should not have to shout at her. Margot has nothing to do with that!" My voice was dangerously high. " She will be fine. You have a lot on your plate right now. One day she will understand." Lucy placed her hand on my shoulder. " Do not worry; when she understands, she won't be able to stay mad." " Do you think she will un

Chapter forty five

Margot's POVI slammed the door to my office with such force that the glass shuddered. I pressed my back against it, trying to calm my breathing. Tears I had held back finally found their way out, slowly rolling down my cheeks, leaving a salty trail. My whole body shivered from emotions I could not exactly pinpoint. What the hell happened just a few minutes ago? An image of Nathan's face, twisted with rage, flashed in my mind, making me wrap my arms around me in a pitiful attempt at comfort. I dragged myself to my desk and sat down before my knees would give up. I looked at my hands, shaking without my control. What happened to Nathan? I knew he seemed stressed for the last couple of days, but this outburst was nothing like him. Not towards me, at least so far. My brain went into a mode where I started analysing what I could have done to make him react that way. The more I thought, the angrier I got. I did not deserve this. Nathan was a grown-ass man, and if there was an issue, h

Chapter forty six

Nathan's POV My hands gripped the steering wheel so tight that my knuckles turned white. My chest hurt, my heart was beating so fast I could swear people outside could hear it. I was breathing heavily. A panic attack was right around the corner. Vincent found Margot; he was right here, next to her house. How was it even possible? How could he connect her with me so quickly? She was my business partner, but I worked with thousands of people, and yet he turned her attention right to her. He somehow found out she meant more to me than others. I was sure I kept our public appearance strictly professional. " For fu*k sake! " I almost yelled, hitting the steering wheel with my hand. I made sure that Isa was far away from here. I made her safety my priority. Vincent hurt her once, and I was not going to let it happen again. It took her years before she learned how to lie without looking behind her shoulder. I could not let my brother shatter this fragile sense of safety again,

Chapter forty seven

Margot's POV Nathan's visit left me completely dumbfounded. I could not understand the reason for this performance. This man had more faces than I thought. Maybe I did not know him after all? Well, it was not important right now. I had another day ahead of me, and I had to focus on it. Nathan's behaviour could not affect my work. No life turbulence could. I fixed my clothes, brushed my hair and put a professional smile on my face before leaving my apartment. Nathan could shove his attitude up his a*s. When I arrived at the office, the atmosphere felt tense. Everyone is glancing at me, not discreet enough, obviously. Well, I should have seen that coming. I made their boss mad, even if not intentionally. I was the villain in this story. If they were hoping to see me embarrassed, I was going to disappoint them. I held my head high, walking through the corridor. I let my shoulders drop only when the door to my office closed behind me. That went well. Sooner or later, they will

Chapter forty eight

Margot's POVTears ran down my face as soon as the door of my apartment closed behind me. I placed my laptop on the couch and slipped to the floor next to it. The whole strength I held on to just a moment ago completely vanished, evaporated like water spilt on a hot pan. I had nothing left inside me. I was like an empty shell. When did my life take such an unfortunate turn? At first, Sam, plotting with my so-called best friend, tried to rob me of everything. They took everything I worked so hard for, but at least they left me some dignity. Now, even that was gone. Nathan Blackwood made sure of it. Not long ago, I thought I was smart; I could read people, protect myself. Now, I could not say that anymore. People I trusted kept stabbing me in my back. I got over Sam's betrayal and slowly rebuilt myself. Everything was in pieces again. And only I could pick them back up. No more trusting others- the price was too high.I wiped tears from my face. I should start thinking about my next st
