LOGINHey guys. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. And just to clarify that there is no love triangle anywhere. The story is going somewhere and you'll know in a couple of chapters. Don't forget to vote, comment and review. Till the next XOXO 😘
Nadia didn't think much of it when she also extended her hands and shook his. Ricardo looked handsome with his blue eyes and fine blonde beard. Although he looked nothing like his grandmother. “It's nice to meet you. Mrs Goldstein talked a lot about you.” Nadia smiled and Riona said something which made Ricardo look at her. “What a lovely girl? What's her name?” And Nadia smiled even more at this one. “Her name is Riona. She's my entire world.” Nadia couldn't help but recall the troubles she had gone through in order to have Riona with her right now. And she didn't regret any of it. Ricardo smiled more looking at Riona but Riona didn't want to look at him. For some reason she didn't want Ricardo carrying her away from her mother's arms. “Please don't mind her,” Nadia said. “Not at all, Ms. Nadia. And now that I'm getting to know you, it looks like my grandmother was right about you. You would be perfect to help my grandmother.” Ricardo said and Nadia blinked, a little confusion
Nadia stayed with the elderly woman for over ten minutes. She seemed friendly and had a smile on her face when she looked at Nadia. “You are a good girl. I disturbed your work, didn't I?” The elderly woman looked at the broom in Nadia's hands. But Nadia shook her head. “Not at all. I didn't mind at all. And... where is your nurse?” And the woman shook her head. “I honestly don't know where that girl ran off to. She's supposed to be by my side. My grandson paid her a lot of money and she always disappears...” But then the door opened more and a young nurse walked in. Nadia turned to look at the girl who seemed older than her by at least three to four years. The girl walked in and looked at Nadia standing there. “Mrs Goldstein, I...” The nurse was obviously about to explain. “Shut your fucking air hole!” The elderly woman gritted out. Her choice of words were the first thing that made Nadia turn to look at the old woman. And now that innocent frail smile on her wrinkled face was al
Anatoly swirled the clear golden liquid in the tumbler. He watched the sun slowly rise up in the morning. The once dark study was brightening up at around seven in the morning. Anatoly loosened his tie further and gulped down the remaining liquor before looking at the now empty bottle on his desk.His entire body ached from lack of sleep. But he continued to stare at nothing in particular. And he couldn't stop thinking about Nadia walking out on him. About her looking him in the eyes and telling him how she wasn't going to look back once she'd left him.But Anatoly didn't know why he believed that Nadia would walk in through that front door at any moment. And even though his ego wouldn't admit it, he knew the reason he didn't dare go upstairs to have a shut eye was because he was expecting Nadia to come back and apologize to him for slapping him and realizing that she was nobody without him. And that her daughter was also nothing without his name.But the night drew to a close and the
Nadia woke up early. She had a quick shower and tied her hair in a neat bun and she was all smiles. Riona was also awake and seemed a little energetic in the morning as well. It seemed that she could feel her mother's positive energy. Martin had sent a message very early in the morning and Leslie had ran downstairs to inform Nadia about her getting the cleaner job.Leslie sent Nadia the hospital address and Nadia was already dressed up at around seven in the morning. Leonora looked at her and had a small smile on her face.“Have you found a job?” She asked.Nadia nodded and Riona giggled a little. “I got a job as a cleaner at the hospital where Martin is interning at.”And then a loud laugh echoed from the staircase. Ivanova was descending down the stairs. She couldn't stop laughing and Nadia didn't even pay any attention to her. "Have you really stooped this low, cousin? From becoming the wife of one of the richest men in the world to now becoming a cleaner at some hospital? Wow, yo
“You?! What the hell are you doing here?!” Riona became startled and Nadia had to pat her back to calm her and prevent her from crying. “Lower your voice, Ivanova.” Nadia didn't have a smile on her face when she looked at Ivanova. It was because of her that Nadia's life had been ruined right from the very start of when she'd been forced to marry Anatoly. “Excuse me? How dare you tell me to lower my voice! This is my fucking house and I can yell out as much as I want!” Ivanova gritted but Nadia didn't want to stay there. She felt Riona's expression turning into a small pout and about to cry from Ivanova's screaming. “Hey, what's the yelling about?” Leslie came down. She was half ready but had to come downstairs after hearing Ivanova's yelling. “Mind your own fucking business!” Ivanova yelled again before darting her eyes back to Nadia. “Why are you here, Nadia? Have you come to further rub salt in my wounds? To tell me that you are living the luxurious life by being Anatoly's wif
Nadia wiped her tears once she'd stepped out past the gates. But then she couldn't help but turn around and stare back at the mansion. And for a moment, Nadia wondered if Riona meant nothing to Anatoly because they were both out alone in the night. Nadia recalled everything she'd done to try and bridge the gap between Anatoly and his daughter. She tried to include him in everything about Riona's growth. But yet, it had seemed that nothing paid off in the end because Anatoly simply didn't care enough to allow her and Riona to walk out of his life. But then the gates were automatically closed and Nadia turned around. She didn't want to look back again but instead start anew. She looked down at Riona's head on her shoulder and smiled a little. “Everything will be okay, my baby. You and I will be enough for each other. And we won't need anyone else because I will do my absolute best to give you the best life.” Nadia whispered, knowing in my mind that Anatoly didn't deserve Riona. Her da
Nadia got dressed into something more appropriate now. She wore a scarf around her neck. Precisely the scarf that her uncle Vincent got for her after the trip to Europe one time when she was around fifteen to sixteen years old. The scarf still had its homely scent and Nadia wanted to remember her u
Nadia gaped at him. “You... you can't be serious, Anatoly... I mean, sir.” Nadia quickly corrected herself. She was much too shocked to even realise the role she was already playing right now. And when Anatoly looked at her belly, Nadia couldn't help but get her hands over her belly in a protectiv
Anatoly smiled when he looked back at Nadia. “Yes, Mrs Hogwarts. She is my wife. And I'm very much in love with her, you see...”Nadia swallowed hard and now she couldn't even look up at the couples' faces. She felt like the ground beneath her should magically open up and swallow her whole at the
Anatoly grunted and came over Nadia's belly for the second time. He shuddered and Nadia was more than beat down. Her legs still cramped up and her body didn't stop shuddering as well under Anatoly's weight. They both were panting hard and Nadia looked at Anatoly but then Anatoly now rolled to the s
