Natalia's POV The tension in my room was evident and I think I held my breath longer than I should because I suddenly felt sweaty and stuffy in my air conditioned room. Dad wasn't that cruel that you would want to kick me out after I just lost my child. I was still his child no matter what I did, I was curious as to what Dad wanted to say. Dad barely ever came into my room to discuss anything with me so I know this is important. "W..what do we have to discuss?" I asked, finally finding my voice as Dad walked fully into my room, each step he took towards my bed made me nervous and finally he sat on my bed close to me. "Are you feeling better now?" Dad asked and I nodded and forced out a small smile. Even though I was feeling as if I have been dragged out of a dark tunnel I should reply positively so he can let me stay at home. "Yes I am." I replied. "Did you have any complications after the miscarriage?" He asked and I seemed to calm down a bit since he was just inquiring abo
Thomas's POVWhen my secretary informed me that Natalia actually came to see me I was a bit surprised because I didn't expect her to show up here after what happened with her father last time.That was funny, I guess she has no shame now that needed my help, she was going out of her way to reach out to me.I was in a meeting when I was informed of her arrival so I told my secretary to ask Natalia to go into my office and sit.After I finished up with my meeting I headed into my office and upon opening the door and seeing Natalia looking so miserable made me angry.What exactly is wrong with this woman?Was she doing this to gain sympathy from me?Is that why she looked so tattered and messy?Natalia is someone that also cares about her public image and the way she looks so messy this was not the sight I wanted to see.Her hair was messy, her eyes had bags under it and heck I don't think she tried to cover up because her eyes were a bit red maybe because she was crying or something fle
Natalia's POVI scurried out of Thomas's office and headed straight to the exit of the company because I was a total mess.I don't know what got me more upset, maybe it's the fact that I was crying in front of Thomas or that I looked like a mess coming here instead of dressing properly but I lost my child so I can't help but feel upset.How can Thomas show no sympathy and speak so coldly to me after I lost my child and was grieving?He honestly didn't care how I felt?I took a cab home and upon returning home I was glad no one was inside to see the hideous look on my face.I went there to apologize to him but instead I broke down crying and acting like the victim.This wasn't how I expected today to end but what should I have expected when I wasn't prepared to go and see him.Getting up the stairs and into my room I slammed the door shut and locked it behind me, I rested my back on the door and slowly I slipped and sat down on the floor.I sniffled as I wiped away the tears from my ey
Natalia's POVGrace stared at me in surprise and a questioning look on her face."Don't tell my parents about it, it is a secret for now when I am more comfortable with telling them I will inform them myself." I added it quickly.Even though I didn't have to explain myself to her, I still told her so she can keep her mouth shut like she always did."Oh, you are having lunch with Mr Thomas, don't worry I can keep your secret." She said but she sounded unlike her happy self.Was she upset that I was meeting Thomas?That can't be possible,she barely knows him.After searching through My closet where Grace finally brought out a plain blue wrap dress."This is a good outfit to wear for lunch." She said and I nodded."You can leave." I took the dress from her hand and waved dismissively at her but she still stood rooted to her spot."Is something wrong?" I asked, snapping her out of her thoughts as she seemed to have come back to reality."No." She replied distantly."Have fun at your lunch
Thomas POVThe look on Oliver's face when he walked into the restaurant and sat with me told me he was upset."What was Natalia doing here?" He asked.Oh he saw her."I just met up with her briefly to have lunch before you arrived." I explained."You had lunch with her?" He asked and I nodded."Thomas," He called coldly."Yes.""I have asked you before. I hope you still don't have feelings for that horrible woman?" He asked grumpily."I don't." I replied."Are you sure?" He questioned since my answer didn't convince him."I am sure." I replied."Then why meet up with her?" He asked."She had a miscarriage." I told him."So is that supposed to be your business?" He asked with a raised brow."I know it's not supposed to be my business but she wanted to apologize….""And have you forgiven her?" He asked."No I haven't." I responded.He sighed."I don't know what's going through your head and I have tried to be the best I can but if you end up with that woman and she ends up dragging you
Thomas povGrace paused hesitating to say what was on her mind.It made me wonder how bad it was."Mr Thomas I want to ask you something first before I proceed and I want you to be honest with me." Grace said and I knew this was serious."Yes Grace what is it?" I inquired."Are you trying to get back with Miss Natalie?" Grace asked, I exhaled sharply.I don't know why I avoid that question when I am asked about Natalie."I don't know." I replied."It might take a little time but we can get along now and I don't know what the future will hold ." I added."So you are saying there is a possibility you will get back together with her?" Grace asked."I...I don't know Grace." I sighed. "I guess you have considered it and that's a yes to me." Grace muttered and sighed."You told me to think about myself right?" Grace asked and I raised an eyebrow at that wondering what that had to do with my relationship with Natalia."Yes." I answered cautiously."At first I thought this would be a betray
Thomas povGetting up for work on Monday I just had one goal in mind, buy more shares for Mr. Gabriel's company.I got to the office, sat down and checked my phone and as expected Mr Gabriel tried to reach me but my phone was on silent and Natalia tried to call me as me.I smiled happily as I dropped the phone on my desk.Took my laptop and got to work.Shortly after I came to work ,I received a call from my secretary informing me that Natalia wanted to see me.She has nothing else to do so her father must have sent her to inquire what happened and what made me buy the shares from their company so suddenly without informing him first."Tell her to come in." I told my secretary and the call ended and Natalia opened the door of my office and walked in smiling happily at me.I was disgusted by her behavior ,she even dressed to impress me.I don't know how I actually fell in love with Natalia but that was the worst mistake of my life."Good morning Thomas." She greeted me in a sing -song
Natalia povI ran out of Thomas's office and dash out of the company building.Gasping for air as I was out the door, my head began to spin around asking questions that I didn't have an answer to.How could this happen again, who would do something like this to me who have I offended that is out to get me this much?Thomas was starting to talk to me normally and I know we are getting somewhere so why and who would do this to me?I was at the brick of tears as I exhaled sharply, I turned and I just walked with no destination in mind because I had no strength to go home to my family who was awaiting my return for good news.My Dad was very pleased that Thomas and I are going together now. I think Thomas has been answering Dad's call and they spoke together but now that this happened Dad won't forgive me if he finds out.I narrowly escaped the last time. Now I am doomed if I don't find a solution fast."Watch where you are going lady ,raise your head while walking!" A man half yelled at
A YEAR LATER Thomas's POV I was in my office looking over some files when I stopped to suddenly stare at the picture frame of Grace and I on my desk. She told me to keep it in my office so she could brighten my day anytime I felt weak. Remembering her words made a smile form on my lips. I was glad I met Grace and I was even more glad to have her as my girlfriend. She did more for me than I asked of her and she never expected me to do anything in return, that was how she showed me she loved me. Even if meeting Natalia made me go through hardships at least I met Grace and I would never want to change the past if it meant not meeting Grace again, that was how much she meant to me. Life takes drastic turns now and then all we need to do is brace up for the impact. That's what I did and I was glad I have gotten to this point where I feel confident and loved. I finally got the company back to its former glory and I told Mr Gabriel and Logan that this was what they couldn't do. Mr
Grace's POVI was off work today so I decided to pay Thomas a visit.Thomas has asked me to come and work for him in his company and I refused because I don't think I will concentrate on work if I see him everyday, but I guess I will change my mind in the future.Mr Gabriel's company that Thomas now owns, I refer to it as his second company , Thomas's second company has few workers now because Thomas was firing most of them and rehiring.He was doing such a fine job handling two companies with small branches.I came here very early and I brought breakfast for Thomas because I know he is a workaholic and might forget to eat breakfast at times.I was free to love around now since I haven't heard from Timothy, my crazy ex boyfriend but I was careful and mindful of my surroundings.I walked into the company building. I greeted the security guards and I saw one person that made me smirk.I don't know when I started turning evil. I think Thomas has influenced me.I saw Natalia mopping the
Thomas POVI wanted to go out on a date with Grace and as we were making plans an unknown number called me.It was Natalia again,she has been calling me and crying to give her a job.Grace told me to give Natalia the job and after that we can continue going on planning our date.She said she wanted it as a gift.I could only give her what she wanted.The only reason why I came along with her was so I could see my old room in Mr Gabriel's mansion.I just wanted to tell my past self that I made it, it felt nice.Natalia finished cleaning the mansion and she did a good job.I paid her and she wasn't staring at me anymore but had her head bowed in defeat. I don't understand why she was dressed so tattered and her hair was messy but I didn't bother asking.I told her to come to the company tomorrow.The company that I bought from Mr Gabriel, workers were lacking. At least she can keep the place clean before I get it back to a better position, if she does a bad job I will fire her.After e
Natalia's POVI was just standing and staring at Thomas and Grace as If I had seen a ghost.What's going on here?Why were they giggling as Grace wrapped her hand more tightly around Thomas's waist.There were two bodyguards behind them and I was just rooted to the spot not understanding what I was seeing.Grace suddenly turned to me with a smile."Natalia, shouldn't you start working you know you don't have all day, I think you know where the mop is, if you do a good job here he might offer you a better job." Grace said with a sweet smile and for the first time her smile sent shivers down my spine.Grace never fakes a smile but this time I don't understand why this smile made me uncomfortable."Grace, what are you doing here?" I asked in confusion.I was only planning on seeing Thomas here and I wanted to talk to him,there was no way he would see me in this bad state and not help me."I thought you were going to do your job immediately when you came here, I didn't think you would be
Natalia's POVThere was no sign on Dad's face to show he was joking.Was he actually going to disown me now I had nowhere to go?"Daddy no! Please no ! I didn't mean to bring Thomas here, I was just trying to gain your recognition. You have to believe me, mom please say something to Dad, don't let him kick me out!" I pleaded as I got on my knees, Mom said nothing as she just watched me.Logan, who was behind me, let go of my luggage to drag me out. He held me by my hand and dragged me to the floor when I refused to stand up.Logan was pulling me with all his might, mom was pulling my luggage out of the mansion and Dad was accusing me of ruining his life.I was pleading, crying and admitting that I was wrong but they didn't listen.I was dragged outside the gates ,my luggage was tossed on the ground."You should just leave Natalia,you have caused enough harm already and you are already an adult." Mom said as the door gate locked."Mom please beg Dad to let me stay!" I pleaded."No matt
Natalia's POVI was laying down on my bed, thinking about what to do next.Everyone in the house was acting so strange, and since Grace left I have been the one doing the house chores because the other maid left as well.Dad said he didn't have enough money to pay her or hire a new maid for now so I was stuck with doing house chores.Who would have imagined that I would be doing house chores now, how low I have fallen but who was I to complain since Mom that didn't work started cooking as well, I didn't know that my mother knew how to cook because I can't remember the last time she cooked anything for us to eat.Mom and Dad, I think they have reconciled.The drivers have stopped coming to work, so when Dad and Logan want to go to work Logan drives the car.It has gotten to such a bad point.I sighed in exhaustion, I didn't know that just doing house chores can be this exhausting.I really miss having someone to do these things for me.But it was only a matter of time and everything wo
Thomas POVI was curiously waiting to see who just walked in."I am home." The female voice announced as she walked into the living room and I turned to look at her.He was carrying a backpack so I would only assume that this was Grace's last sibling."Good afternoon mom, " she greeted her mom with a smile."Good afternoon… who are you?" She asked when her eyes landed on me."Jane, behave yourself,it's Grace's boyfriend." Her mother scolded her.I don't actually see anything wrong with what she asked, since she saw a strange man in their living room.Her eyes immediately lit up as she smiled and ran up to."Brother Thomas?" She asked curiously as she sat beside me on the couch."Yes." I smiled and she giggled."What took you so long to come to our house? I have wanted to meet you for a long time." She pouted."You wanted to see him for a long time, did you get to know him first?" Grace's Mom asked Jane who giggled."It's a secret." Jane said as she winked at her mother."Brother Thoma
Thomas's POVMike took steps closer to me ,to stop Mr Gabriel if he wanted to attack me."How could you do something so evil?" He asked."I did nothing wrong besides many of them wanted to buy your company and not help you,you know that right?" I asked him and he seemed to calm down."Besides, I was repaying you back for what you did." I said."What did I do?" He asked innocently."I knew you were the one bad-mouthing me to my business partners." I said and his eyes widened."Well it doesn't matter anymore since I have paid back your family half of the rage I feel." I said."Half? what more are you going to do to my family,we have nothing now?" He asked me with disbelief written all over his face."Haven't you taken your revenge already, I knew someone was asking people not to help me, it was you all along." Mr Gabriel said as he fell backwards and his body slammed on the couch."You are smarter than I think." I smirked at him.He sighed and looked away."Just leave, I can't fight wit
Thomas's POVMr Gabriel sighed."Did you ever think you would be kneeling down before someone you called a waste of space?" I asked him sarcastically and his shoulders dropped in defeat."You should stand up and sit down,my lawyer is coming in to finalize the deal of buying your company and mansion. If you need your lawyer present, call him." I told him."Mr Gabriel, did you hear me?" I asked as he was silent."Why are you doing this to me?" He asked with a small voice."You can blame your daughter for bringing me into your family by sabotaging my scholarship to a good university." I told him and he looked at me with teary eyes.Was I supposed to pity him?"Call your lawyer I don't have all day." I told him as he looked down to his laps as he slowly stood up and slumped on the couch."I don't have a personal lawyer anymore." He mumbled as he rested his head on the couch."Well that's fine all you need to do is sign the documents after reading it, my lawyer will read it out to you or y
