Thomas POVBarke looked like someone who had seen a ghost.He didn't move an inch from where he stood.Then he started glaring daggers at me but I was unfazed, he couldn't do anything since he was in a powerless state. I mean If he decided to act violently and attack me it would be his loss and more punishment to him since he was in jail already.My smile didn't leave my face and it seemed to be annoying the heck out of Barke as he frowned deeply.Who gave him the right to be annoyed when he couldn't stay away from a married woman?He should blame himself for his downfall.He should have thought about this with his head other than what's in his pants.I still don't understand why someone would literally see dozens of beautiful and respectful women out there and still get involved with a married woman.It was just so disgusting to me, if I was abusing Natalia in any way it would have been different. It could be said that I pushed her away with my abuse but heck when I think about all
Thomas povI cleared my throat and adjusted my tie."I am just saying the uniform suits you well." I smiled."A man who betrays his own father deserves to be punished." I said and I could see him breathing heavily.I mean not all men would bring their mistress's child into their company because they know it will be bad for them if the truth was ever revealed but his Father took such a risk.He must clearly care for all his children with no exceptions."Your father was gracious to you, but how dare you stab him back?" I asked."You are nothing but trash." I mutter.Honestly I don't like men that leave their wife or cheat on them and have children outside but because of what Barke did to me, I honestly do not care.How dare he sleep with my wife and laugh at my face.He was no better than scum."Was this your doing?" He asked suddenly as he had this unknown look on his face.Guess he has put the pieces into place.Even though I wanted to burst out laughing and admit to it being my doing
Thomas pov: If Grace doesn't want to work for me that's fine but I don't think she should continue to stay at Mr. Gabriel's house where she isn't valued. I know very well how badly Natalia's family treats their maids. "Well,yes that's why I called,I want to hire you as a cook or maid, anyone that you prefer, I want to stop eating outside for the time being." I told her. I don't know why any time I go out to eat I must run into someone that will make me annoyed and besides I like Grace's food better. " I hope there isn't a problem?" I asked Grace when she still kept quiet after I confirmed what I said. Grace sighed heavily and I raised an eyebrow at that. "Mr Thomas, how can you ask me to do something like that?" Grace asked and with the way she spoke I was sure she was offended. I didn't mean to offend her with what I said. "I know you are loyal to Mr Gabriel's family but they don't see your value as much as I do, you need to work for someone that won't take your services for
Natalia's POVI was wrapped in my duvet laying sadly on my bed,my eyes were bloodshot and I could not believe that I was in this helpless position.I have stayed holed up in my room for close to two weeks because I was crying each day and wondering why Thomas made me do something so humiliating.Even though Thomas kept to his word and Dad hasn't spoken about kicking me out of the house again I feel so humiliated.How could Thomas say that he loved me if he was willing to make people below insult and ridicule my actions.My highschool classmates always envied my life and were at my beck and call so I could give handouts to them but now I was being made fun of and called all sorts of degrading names.I thought Thomas said that he will forgive me if I did what he asked ,but when I asked him he again he said told he might or might not forgive me even after I told our highschool classmates the truth and I was stupid to think that he said he will forgive me.Thomas called me an evil woman b
Natalia's POV: Dad paused for a moment before proceeding to reply. "Your business partner Mr Felix, he said he only wants to work with you and requested to meet up with you." Dad revealed. My face crawled up in disgust at the mention of the name. Oh no, not that disgusting creep. What does that man want "I am not going anywhere." I said firmly. Last thing I want to do now is meet up with someone when I am an emotional wreck. Especially Mr Felix. "Then prepare to starve, what I and Thomas agreed was to let you stay at home, I didn't agree to feed you." Dad jeered at me. I couldn't believe my ears as I had tears in the corner of my eyes at this point. I took shaky breaths. "What is wrong with you Dad ?can't you give me a break?" I cried out in frustration. My Dad just scoffed at my question and even though it was evident that I might start crying at the slightest provocation he didn't care. "Shut up that your stupid mouth!" Dad yelled at me and Mom just glared daggers at me
Natalia's POVI came to a stop in front of the door of Mr Felix's private room and I opened the door and walked in and I saw Mr Felix sitting and waiting for me,upon seeing him he waved his hand at me and smiled.I put a big smile on my face even though he had the company of three women. I greeted him to which he responded.I don't understand why he would call me over when he knew he was going to meet up with girls at the club.He must have noticed that I would not sit because I was uncomfortable with his guests so he told them to leave and the girls stood up, glared at me, swayed their hips as they left his private room. I approached the couch where he was sitting.The private room had three couches surrounding the round table and there were open drinks on top of the round table.I sat on the first couch and dropped my handbag containing some files on the table while he sat on the middle couch.Mr Felix was watching every move I made closely and I felt uncomfortable under his gaze b
Thomas POV:Sitting down at my office desk and going to files on my desk I couldn't help but sigh in frustration.My mind was drifting away from my work and going somewhere else. I needed to get this sorted out or I wouldn't be able to work normally.I massaged the side of my head.No matter how hard I think about it.I don't know what I did to make Grace angry but since that day I haven't got it off my mind.I don't know why I can't focus knowing that Grace was upset with me.I have tried calling Grace after some days when I was sure she had calmed down but she didn't answer my call and she didn't call back.I tried messaging her but she didn't reply to my text so I don't know if she was still upset with me and doesn't want to talk with me.I sighed as my phone on my desk chirped and I took it and saw I had a message from Kate.I rolled my eyes.I don't exactly understand what her problem is but she still doesn't want to understand. I don't want to talk to her.I opened the message.
Thomas POVI wanted to comfort Grace but I had to restrain myself because I don't think it would be a good idea.I didn't want to give her false hope.It wasn't a good idea for Grace to come in front of me and tell me all these because I didn't know how I would respond.I just said nothing as I processed what she said while Grace looked like she wanted to break down crying.I didn't like seeing that look on her face so I averted my eyes.Grace's confession explains a lot of things ,why she has been helping me even while I was still with Natalia.Even if she was in love with me I don't know if I wanted to get involved with a woman right now. I wasn't emotionally ready and needed some time to focus on my healing before I started thinking about love , but I can't ask her to wait for me. That would be selfish and I don't know how I feel about her.I trust her but a committed relationship is something I can't get into now.I have to think about this carefully before giving her a reply.I
