LOGINNATHALIE’S POV 🍃
–
“After that, I shared how he gave me a promotion once he found out I had been helping you get into company right from the start.”
She was referring to what I had caught up in her conversation with Calix.
“I didn’t accept the promotion because I was leaving at the time and I was just finishing my contract with Watson’s jewelry company.” Avery continued. &ldquo
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-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 🍃–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 🍃–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.
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃–“Mommy, is Uncle not going to sleep with us?”“He will, little one. Maybe he’ll come here later.”“Why later, Mommy? Mommy… is Uncle mad at me? ‘Cause I didn’t say yes to him to sleep in the middle?”“No, little one. Your Uncle Zander isn’t mad at you.”“Mommy, he didn’t play with me earlier, and he didn’t eat with us either. I think he’s mad at me.”“No, my little oner. The reason is…” I pondered a kind explanation my child could understand.“Your Uncle Zander is having diarrhea. He doesn’t want you to smell his fart.”My son giggled with laughter. “His fart must be stinky.”“Yes, little one. Uncle Zander doesn’t want you to smell his fart.”My son giggled again.“Close your eyes now, little one, sleep well… so you’ll grow tall before you know it.”“Yes, mommy. Good night.”“Good night, my little one.”“Mommy, I can’t say good night to Uncle.”“I’ll tell him you said good night to him.”“Thank you, mommy! I love you.”“I love you too, my little one.”Then my son hu
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃–“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 🍃–'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
NATHALIE’S POV-At least my stomach was full. My stomach somehow full from the water I drank, along with the few spoonfuls of chicken, milk soup I ate.After Sir Calix invited me back to his mansion, he suddenly turned away and walked. In my panic, I followed him. He was also the one who carried t
ZANDER CALIX’S POV-I grabbed my phone from the center table and looked at the nuisance caller and who, in their right mind, would call this late.“What on earth, Wallace?!” I said in annoyance as I answered his call. If I could just punch him over the phone, I would have. I don’t care if his weddi
NATHALIE’S POV-I put the pillow on my face, pressed it and screamed. After that, I removed the pillow from my face, took a deep breath.I closed my eyes.“One sheep... Two sheep... Three sheep... Four sheep... Five sheep... Six–that smell.”I closed my eyes tightly and continued counting the sheep
NATHALIE’S POV-As soon as we left the building, our first destination was the playground Brianna had been eyeing earlier.Some children were playing, alongside their parents or apparent family. I was the only one in scrubs.“Baby, do you want to play?”Brianna nodded.“How about this, baby? You ca
