Nicholas I was not going to let it go that way. I could not just keep silent while she said something like that to me, I moved closer to her as she dragged herself backward. "Please do not come close to me. I don't want to say anything or cause any problem. Okay?" she said to me. I was so confused. I did not know what to do anymore. Why was she acting this way? “ What did you mean by the moon goddess did not let you die? What do you mean? Did you plan on dying during the 2 weeks? Was that your plan to leave me? You wanted me to be traumatized. You wanted them to continue to call me the cost ," I said to her. She shook her head sideways. "No. That's not what I mean at all. That is not what I mean. I promise you. I am just saying that why am I still alive when every one of your wifes who stayed with you all died? Why am I still the only one here? There has to be a reason behind it, and I want to know the reason behind it more than anything in this world," she said to me. I couldn’
Nicholas Pov After waiting some minutes and my partner was still not back, I decided to go and get ready. I didn't want to be the reason why you will have to wait or anything that will have to make them complain that I stayed too long, I said to myself. I stood up and took off my shirt as I stared at the mirror in just my trousers on . There was nothing I could do. I just have to be there. After all, I am the and I don't think that can ever change. Just then, the door opened and my partner entered. I quickly rushed for my shed to put it on and that was when Laura walked in. I left the shirt back on the bed as she had already seen everything. She looked at me and then back to the ground. My partner rushed towards me and tapped me on the chest playfully. “'She is the one who can clean this room without telling anybody about it ,” he said to me and then rushed out. But just as he got to the door, he muttered a word that I could hear from where I was. “'You have to be quick. Okay?
I stared at my reflection in the mirror as I couldn’t help but feel so good about myself. If I cannot praise my mom for anything, I would always praise her for the fact that she always knows how to pick the perfect dress for each occasion for me. She had always done that right from the beginning. She always wanted me to look so perfect and this was just a perfect opportunity. As I stared at my reflection with a white smile on my face, I couldn’t tell but vision and it had beside me. I blinked my eyes for some while hoping that it would make me stop thinking about her, but I could still see her beside me. It frustrated me. I couldn’t help but think. “She is coming to the banquet with me. Right?“ But I was not sure. With the way she looked at me, I am not sure she would accept my offer and come. I don’t even think she would be allowed to go. The head maid looks like someone who is very very strict and I don’t plan on causing problem or coming here to take any superior against my b
“Who is she?” She asked again. Even if I didn’t want to say anything to my mother, I knew I had no choice. I had to tell her this particular thing. It was really important because if I tell her about Laura, maybe she would help me get Laura to be my escort for this little party she arranged. I tapped my mom on the shoulder as she turned to me. “Is there anything?“ I asked. “You who you are looking for, but you refused to say anything to me, and I don’t plan on forcing you,“ she said. I couldn’t help but chuckle as I summoned up the courage to tell her. “Just as I said to you, I’m in love with someone, but the only problem is this person I am in love with is in this Mansion. She is here, and I need your help to get her,“ I said to my mom. But something in her eyes, the way she gazed at me, it felt like she was not surprised. It made me a bit confused. I expected her to be surprised that I said something like this, but instead, I kept silent and just stood there. She immediately star
I rushed out of the room as I held my chest tightly, breathing heavily. I looked up and couldn't help but see my concerns out. "dear God, please don't tell me you are testing me because this test is just too much. I am confused right now, and I don't even know what to believe. Please don't test me." I muttered as I ran towards my room. I entered and shut the door immediately as I made sure the door was locked. I rushed to the bed and sat down recalling everything that just happened. "What is going on?" I gripped to my heart tightly, recalling everything that Darius had told me, how he acted towards me just now . Even Nicholas don’t act that way towards me. It seems like he was trying to test me, and this is not going to be the way I expected. How did they expect me to accept this and still be with Darius? It's just not possible. Darius is not even my bride, yet he's acting so nice to me. What if he's just trying to get me? What if it's a trap that was planned between , Nicholas,
The rain was pouring heavily at this part of Brooklyn with people running left and right, trying to dodge from its splashes. Others had umbrellas with them but still went to a corner to avoid the cold.Nicholas however, had a target and he was almost done. Delivering goods for people was his part-time job and he was nearly done for that day. "I'm so drenched and tired," he muttered to himself as he brought the motorcycle's engine dead and stepped down.A huge man in a gruff voice was the last customer and he quickly brought out his package. The man was in front of a hotel."Hello sir, here's your package." He said to the man, handing him a brown cartoon. "Look at you fool! It's raining heavily and you still wet all my goods!" He yelled at Nicholas."Sir, I'm sorry but the box isn't ruined at all. I've kept it inside the rain proof bag." He was showing the man the bag but he tore it to pieces and stepped on it."How dare a low delivery man like you speak back to me! I will report you
As Nicholas went out, he smacked his lips bitterly and shook his head in disappointment. Maya was supposed to be that only woman that was loyal. And now, she could do that to him? To betray him like that?He was out, not even knowing where to go. His phone rang and he picked it up to see it was his friend, Mal. "Hey dude, what's up. Wait, did she like the gift??" Mal asked immediately. He knew of Nicholas' plan to surprise his wife.Nicholas shook his head, "I'm...it didn't work out." He managed to say. "We're divorced now. It's a long story, man, she even kicked me out of the house." Nicholas said feeling ashamed."What? How could she? Where will you sleep now? I think that is more important firstly." Mal said.A half smile worked its way over to Nicholas face. At least he had friends who cared about him. "Maybe you can head back to work. The place is open all day so you wouldn't mind sleeping there for the night." Mal said.Nicholas shrugged. "You know how my boss is. I doubt he w
Nicholas was taken aback. He had not expected that man in his expensive attire, living in such a big mansion, to respect him in that manner.That was when he paused to take a look at the men who had abducted him. Though two of them, but strong and mighty they were. Their bodies were built just to intimidate and they were putting on dark suits and shoes and glasses, like spies from movies he used to watch."Young master, please come with me." The older man said again. Nicholas turned to face him again, still shocked. "Who are you? Who is this young master you're always speaking of?" He said."Please come inside. Our boss wants to see you. I am sure you would be delighted to see him too." The man said. A warm smile rested on his face and Nicholas frowned.Did he really even have a choice? He followed the man inside and was even more wowed.The entrance led to a grand hall with brilliant lighting and fine decors. Then he was led to the living room, and Nicholas began to doubt whether h
