Thank you for reading!
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
Thomas POVAfter Grace left my apartment I knew it would be hard falling asleep tonight.The fact that she nearly cried in my apartment and lone tears fell down from her eyes. There was a possibility that maybe she was at home crying because I didn't give her a definite response.I feel bad but I don't want to lead her on when I was not sure what I wanted in our relationship.I just sat on the couch watching a football match even though it was late into the night, I am sure I will wake up groggy tomorrow.I checked my phone beside me from time to time to see if Grace had responded to my message but she didn't, the time was 11:45 pm. Maybe she had fallen asleep by now. I should just give her some space.I changed the channel to a wrestling match.It's been a long time since I went to train.My phone ringing beside me snapped me out of my thoughts and one look at the name of the caller made me frown.I was pretty sure that Kate wasn't going to let me be if I didn't answer the call and I
Thomas POVI didn't actually have any social life apart from going to work so I decided to accept Oliver's request when he invited me out with his friends the next day.I raised an eyebrow when Oliver mentioned friends.I thought he didn't have any friends. I came over to Oliver's office when I closed from work around 6pm and he was still rounding up his work.I lay down on the couch deep in thoughts and I kept sighing."Stop that Thomas." Oliver hissed at me.I sat up and narrowed my eyes at his words."You told me that some of your friends wanted to meet me but we are still here." I huffed at him.It was already 6:52 pm."What got your pants in a twist?Just shut up and lay back down please." Oliver glared at me."Oliver, what the heck dude?" I chuckled."You have been acting so grumpy since you came in here." Oliver pointed out."That's not true." I retorted."If you say so." He shrugged."Is this the part where I am supposed to ask you what happened?" Oliver asked with a serious f
Thomas POVI remember Jerry but I don't remember us being friends or anything of that nature.Back in high school he was a big bully and he took his time taunting me for being a poor kid in their big school.I know many times I will find textbooks and notebooks in my locker soaked in water and him and his friend laughing about it.I nearly failed some class because of his stupidity.I can also remember when he would randomly shove me out of his way and I fall down and he would pass it off as him being in a hurry and calling me weak that a little push move would make me fall down.I can go on about many things he did and when I reported him to the principal it just fueled his anger that he ruined my gym clothes because of it.I didn't even have money to replace it.Now here he was sitting and laughing as if he and I were best of friends."You know I don't remember both of us being that close." I interrupted what he was saying to the other guy.Telling him how I was poor and married a r
