LOGINNATHALIE'S POV š
–
I put the knife down and immediately opened the door for him.
“What are you doing here?”
The strong scent of the drink made me catch my breath.
“Have you had a drink?”
“Just a little.”
“A little? You obviously got lost coming to my apartment.” I said it with a hint of sarcasm.
He shook his head. “No,
NATHALIE’S POV š-Right as I walked back into the living area, Harrison had sat there, toweling his wet hair.“This is more tiring than I expected.”Besides the kitchen, he cleaned the entire living room, except where Calix slept.After that, he took a shower and used Calix’s clothes.“Here, I prepared something for you.” I put down the chicken sandwich and orange juice. “Sorry this is all I can offer for you.” then sat down.He took the chicken sandwich and his eyes widened at the first bite.“Why? Is the filling spoiled?”Harrison shook his head then drank and swallowed, “It just surprised me how identical this filling is to Auntie Margaret’s. You got exactly the taste of her special recipe.”“Actually, it took me a while to get the same taste as that spread…” and then I told him h
NATHALIE’S POV š–As I opened the front door, Harrison fixed his gaze on my face, my cheek.“F*cking b*llsh*t! Why is your face that flushed, and what’s this damn wound on your way lips?” His eyes dropped for a moment before he demanded furiously once more. “How come your neck is so red, as if…! Was it Calix who hurt you like this? Where is that son of a bitch? I’m going to f*cking k*ll him!”“Harrison, take it easy with what you say. Someone might hear you,” I reminded him.“I’m going to show them exactly what I’ll do to that damn bastard! Where is that fvcking jerk?!”I didn’t argue anymore and my earthly body was tired.“Come in first.” I said then he entered. &l
NATHALIE’S POV š–Fear took hold of me so completely I stayed rooted in place.He snatched up the chair he’d just tossed down and bashed it against the fridge.“Calix!” I cried out, torn between alarm and dread.I ran for the kitchen, but the moment I reached the door and gripped the handle, I stood rooted to the spot once more.Calix kicked the ruined chair away and grabbed a new one.I’ve seen him like this before... but this is the first time I’ve seen it personally.Shoving aside my uneasy feelings and fear, I went inside the kitchen.“Calix!”Slamming the chair made me leap with fright and surprise.He dropped the broken chair and turned toward me.
NATHALIEāS POV šāāMommy, is Uncle not going to sleep with us?āāHe will, little one. Maybe heāll come here later.āāWhy later, Mommy? Mommy⦠is Uncle mad at me? āCause I didnāt say yes to him to sleep in the middle?āāNo, little one. Your Uncle Zander isnāt mad at you.āāMommy, he didnāt play with me earlier, and he didnāt eat with us either. I think heās mad at me.āāNo, my little oner. The reason isā¦ā I pondered a kind explanation my child could understand.āYour Uncle Zander is having diarrhea. He doesnāt want you to smell his fart.āMy son giggled with laughter. āHis fart must be stinky.āāYes, little one. Uncle Zander doesnāt want you to smell his fart.āMy son giggled again.āClose your eyes now, little one, sleep well⦠so youāll grow tall before you know it.āāYes, mommy.

NATHALIE’S POV š–“What did you just call me? Did you finally get all your memories back?” I asked, barely breathing.He grinned and explained to me how he found out about Brianna’s name.He’s gone to great lengths to hide Brianna; even his cousin hasn’t the slightest notion of anything.“He hasn’t investigats my parents or Veronica yet, because I don’t want them to suspect that I’m looking for answers about what happened between us back then,” he continued. “Harrison and Wallace? I left them out of this. They don’t even have anything to say about me to begin with. They’re furious at me for reasons I don’t understand.”I understand what Harrison and Mr. Wallace are going through.I also don’t blame them for being mad at Calix. Yet they didn’t allow it to damage their friendship.
NATHALIE’S POV š–'I’m here in the elevator already.' Tyler texted me, that it put my mind completely at ease.'It was only after I finished taking a shower, I realized I hadn’t sent Tyler my text message.He assumed Sapphire wanted to be by herself, so he left ahead of time.The second he received my message, he cut the nearly two-hour trip from their company to my apartment down to just thirty minutes.“Hope he didn’t run into any trouble rushing like that.”“Who?”I glanced over at Calix as he just stepped down from the staircase.“Who are you thinking about and you seem restless?” he asked as he approached me.“Oh, it’s just nothing,” I answered.He brought Xander over to our bed. Xander fell asleep earlier for his nap.I’m tidying up the toys that Calix and my son p

NATHALIEāS POV-Sir Calixās gaze was so intense I had to close my eyes.He released his hold on my lower back. Then, I felt his warm hand rise from my neck, gently tracing upwards towards my jaw. I sensed his warm breath, a mere inch from my lips.āNathalie...āMy grip on his arm tightened, my fin

NATHALIEāS POV-āIs there a problem? Why are you looking at that identification like that?ā Harrison wondered.āBecause I was thinking.āāThat?āāThat I donāt have this kind of I.D.ā I responded.āWhy would Calix give you something like that?ā He sounded utterly incredulous.āSince Iām also one o
