“Take it off darling…”
“You’re so bad, I didn’t take a shower…”
A man and a woman’s voice came from the bedroom as Nicola Redgrave got closer to it.
Hearing the voice, Nicola almost lost his marble, because he recognized the girl’s voice, it was his girlfriend!
He opened the door and found his girlfriend, Lisa Willock was with another man on the bed, without clothes. This infuriated him.
They were in an unspeakable position and the fact that they are naked alone is enough to explain the situation.
"Who dares to barge in like a dog?" The other man asked as Nicola barged in.
He felt his blood boiling so much, he wanted to strangle the other man right there. Lisa was shocked on seeing him, but the other guy wasn't.
"Nicola... What are you..." Lisa struggled to speak, and he thought she was scared and regretting what she did.
"What is going on here Lisa? “You said we could only sleep together after we get married, and now? What the hell are you doing?!" He roared, his voice echoing through the room.
"He's so loud! Is this your so-called ex boyfriend?"
Instead of showing remorse, Lisa sneered showing no form of guilt at all.
"This is so annoying." She finally spoke, sounding annoyed. "I didn't want to do this but you leave me with no choice."
Nicola did not understand why she sounds annoyed when he's the one who should be angry. The other guy just keeps glaring at him.
"Meet my new boyfriend, Mark Guzman. He's twice the man you can never be. He's from a very good millionaire family, and doesn't embarrass me."
“You wanted to marry me? Wake up loser, only a rich man like Mr. Guzman had that qualification to marry me!”
“And you, you could only be a simp of mine forever!” Lisa said ironically.
Her words made Nicola sick. He looked at the so-called Mark Guzman who pointed at the door.
"You can leave now if you are done watching. You can see we're in the middle of something before you barge in like a dog." Mark mocked him.
"No, he should stay here if he wants to see more. I don't think he's ready to go yet." Lisa laughed at him.
Nicola looked at Lisa with disgust, "I can't believe you are so shameless! You don't feel any guilt at all."
Mark clapped for Nicola, mocking his lament. "You think she's shameless? Do you have any shame yourself?"
Nicola shook his head, trying to control his urge to pounce on Mark Guzman or whatever his name is.
"I've been with you for a while now and all I have seen is poverty. How long do you think I can hold out like that?" Lisa defended herself.
Nicola scoffed, "Is that your excuse? You never complained for once and now you're doing that?"
Lisa looked at Nicola now with nothing but hate, "You think I am that stupid to be with you forever? I thought you'd be a hidden rich son or something..."
The truth dawned on him. She was never with him because of love or anything? She only came for money.
"I got tired when I saw that you have no hope. I have wasted too much time on you. You can't even do anything for me! You are so stingy." Lisa emphasised.
Mark laughed at Nicola, getting him more pissed off.
"A poor guy like you does not deserve Lisa. You should be in the streets like the dog you are!" Mark spat at him.
"You better shut your mouth and stay out of this! This is between Lisa and I!" Nicola yelled at him.
Then he faced Lisa again, "Are you sure you want to do this? You're going to regret doing this, do you know that?"
Lisa and Mark looked at each other before bursting into laughter. They find it ridiculous that he's acting like he's something.
"Wow. Even a rat acts like he's something now." Mark stated, he checked his wallet for a few change and tossed it on the ground.
"Pick that up and use it to buy some food. You look like you need to eat as soon as possible."
This got Nicola on the edge that he couldn't even control his anger anymore. He got close to them in a fit of rage and landed a punch on Mark's face.
"How dare you speak to me that way!" Nicola yelled in rage.
Lisa screamed, jumping out of the way. Mark tried to attack back but he wasn't fast enough. Nicola got on top of him and they started a fistfight.
"What are you doing with your dog?! Get off him!" Lisa yelled, scared that Nicola might beat Markup.
They continued fighting and they even ended up on the floor. Lisa did not know what else to do in order to stop them.
She found a vase and took it. She sneaked an attack on Nicola by shattering the vase on his head. Nicola staggered backwards, giving Mark a chance to attack.
"I can't believe you are trying to kill my boyfriend, you ungrateful idiot!" Lisa spat, kicking Nicola repeatedly.
Mark repeatedly punched the weak Nicola and they pulled him out of the room together. They did not care if he was injured.
"This is good for you. You should be thankful Mark is letting it go, you'll be dead by now if he didn't." He heard Lisa say to him while he sat on the floor.
"Let him be. I'll deal with him if I should ever see him around you again." Mark added.
"Is he trying to talk? Just watch him move." Lisa pointed out.
Nicola was indeed trying to say something to Lisa. He turned to look at her, though his vision is still blurry.
"Lisa...."
"What? You're going to get up and fight again?"
"You... You will regret this." Nicola managed to say.
They both laughed at him. "What? Is there anything we should be afraid of? What exactly can you do?"
"I'll... I'll make you regret...this." Nicola continued to threaten them.
"You little..." Mark raised his fist, "I should knock some more sense into you."
Lisa just hated that Nicola is trying to ruin things for him so she stepped in to stop Mark.
"Let's just leave the pauper here. He doesn't deserve our time." Lisa suggested, pulling Mark inside.
Nicola could hear everything, how they continued to mock him and Lisa telling Mark all his secrets. He felt so betrayed and disappointed.
When he felt his vision coming back to normal, he stood up to leave. He could hear his now ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend laughing at him.
This is definitely something he never anticipated happening to him before. He never thought Lisa of all people would disappoint him.
She's always said she liked him and was okay with what he has. Could it be that she had this planned all along?
She was with him due to pity and nothing else? How was he so blind not to see this coming in the first place?
He walked through the streets, thinking about it. He felt so helpless that he almost did not notice a car stop in front of him.
When he looked, it was a luxury car standing. He looked around him, then back at the car. An old man came out of the car, stopping in front of Nicola.
He bowed to Nicola, “Young master, it's time for you to go back to the family.”
"Young Master ? Who is this old man and what does he want from me?" Nicola thought as he stared at the old man in confusion. Only people from wealthy families are called that. Is this old man trying to make fun of him or what? Then again, he has a lot of people who hate him. They must be doing this to mess with him. He has encountered several people like this in his life, he's already used to pranks like this. "Young master Nicola, it's good to see you after so many years. We-" The old man was trying to say but Nicola stopped him. "Excuse me old man, no disrespect but who are you? What family are you talking about? I know my family." The old man smiled wrinkly, "I am Butler James, your family's oldest butler. I have served you since you were born young master. You are the heir of the Redgrave family." Nicola was shocked on hearing the family he mentioned. His last name is also Redgrave and he always thought it was a coincidence. The Redgrave family is no joke. They are the most
Nicola kicking Mark down so easily and skillfully was a move Lisa never expected. Mark got down in a flash with his body hitting a wooden table hard. "OH MY GOD!" Lisa yelled, rushing to Mark. "You annoying and useless idiot! What did you do to my man?! I'm going to sue you! You are going to jail!" Mark, who didn't expect that kick, held his nose in pain as he got hit there. He touched his nose and he was bleeding. "He is bleeding! Damn you Nicola! Why would you do this to him?!" Nicola watched as Lisa went to carry Mark up. She cried and cussed at him for beating up Mark. Nicola also rushed to Nina to help her stand up. She was completely injured and weak. He got so worried about her. "Mom! How are you feeling? Where does it hurt?" Nicola asked Nina, worried. Nina did not reply to him, she was sad and in pain. Instead of talking about herself, she was still more interested in what happened. "What happened between you and Lisa? Why is she suddenly with another man and fighting
Mark was happy and sneered, feeling safe that his bodyguards had come. He looked at Nicola with an evil grin, feeling on top of the world because he now had people to defend him. "What's going to happen to you now? Do you think you can escape this now?" Nicola sneered as well, he wasn't scared of all the men in front of him. He was confident in his martial arts skills, what his master had taught him. This is nothing. He would knock down all these men without having to worry. The only reason he has been restraining himself is because of his mother but now he has no reason to. "I should be saying that to you. No one will escape this now that you've made me this mad." Nicola replied to Mark with confidence. "You're still trying to be stubborn? You were given a chance, yet you blew it. You are ingrained!" Lisa spat at Nicola, seeing how relentless he is. "Don't talk to my son that way! You started this!" Nina butt in, unable to take the insults directed at Nicola because of him. Ma
Nicola stared at the strange rich girl in front of him. What contract marriage is she talking about? He only just found out that he is from a rich family and this? "I don't understand what you are talking about lady. I have never seen you before in my life." Nicola quickly told her. She was taken aback by his sudden response and confidence. He had his head up, she expected him to be looking down but he was different. "My grandfather told me I have a contract marriage with a man called Nicola Redgrave so I investigated you." She replied, still checking him up and down. Nicola also continued to stare at her, still unable to believe all the things he has seen in just one day. "I expected you to be someone prestigious but I guess I was wrong. I am disappointed that this is the man I will be marrying." She looked him up and down again. Nicola scoffed, unable to take the rudeness of Anna. "What's wrong with me?""Don't get me wrong. You have good looks and physique but that's just it.
The next day, Nicola went to Skyline company just like he was invited. He was unable to sleep the whole night, thinking about the sudden change in his life. He got humiliated by a lot of people yesterday. Does he really have a wealthy family out there waiting for him? Can he really change his miserable life once and for all? He called the butler's number from the card he got yesterday. The butler told him to go straight to the CEO's office so that everything was prepared for him. Nicola felt relieved that this is true after all. He entered the elevator where there were a few more people, it was crowded. Just when the elevator was about to go, another person rushed in. A beautiful girl came into the elevator, looking like she ran all the way to the company. She looked very worried because she was going to be late. She kept moving her feet for the elevator to move fast so Nicola immediately gathered she must be in a hurry. So he wanted the elevator to close fast but someone else s
Liliana knew she was in trouble after what happened with the supervisor of the business department. That man will probably remember her face when she gets there. She sighed deeply, already frustrated by the whole work issue. Knowing how creepy the supervisor looks at her makes her cringe. "If I knew the result, I would have gone out of the elevator like I wanted to. Seems like I will have a tough life now." She sounded sad when she said that. This made Nicola feel bad. He was the one who kicked out the fat man and caused trouble for her. He felt responsible for it. "I am sorry. I didn't know things would be like that. It's my fault for kicking him out." He apologised to her. She shook her head, "No, it's okay. You can't be sorry when all you did was help me.""Will you be okay? That man doesn't look alright in the head." Nicola washed her, genuinely concerned. She nodded, "I guess I'll just have to deal with whatever comes my way."Though she wasn't fine with it, she didn't want
"The business department? Are you sure that's where you want to go?" The butler asked him in confusion. Perhaps he thought Nicola would be choosing another big department since there's a lot of big vacancies left in then. "I am sure that's where I want to go. I told you, I need to know more about business and there's no better place." Nicola answered, determined to go there. "There's no big space there though. You'll be at the bottom of the department." The butler warned him. He nodded, "That's the point exactly. That way, there will be no biases and I can learn everything I need to learn."The butler had no choice but to accept. "I'll make a job offer for you to go there. Starting from the bottom is not a bad idea too." Nicola waited in the office as the butler called the assistant to make a job offer for him. He was more intrigued with the fact that he couldn't even get a decent job before. Now he gets to choose which job he wants? That's more than enough to make him happy. T
The supervisor was angry that Liliana kept rejecting him again. He wanted to have his revenge on the both of them. "You still dare to reject me? I'll show you a lesson!" He tried to raise his hand on Liliana. Nicola scoffed, unable to keep his cool anymore. "You can't do that sir. That would be abuse, we can report you." The supervisor got more annoyed than ever. Liliana on the other hand was just happy to have someone like Nicola defending her. "You have no idea what you got yourself into! This is a warning to you! If you don't finish the project, you both will be fired!" He yelled at them and left. Nicola bent over to Liliana, "You don't have to think too much about it. Just do your best and leave the rest.""I don't think I am actually worried about the project. I just find it odd." She replied him. Nicola nodded and found his table. He say there, staring at the desk and not knowing what to think. To be honest, he was concerned about the project. What exactly is the problem
