Onika’s Pov.

We finally got into the car and I struggled to control my own eyes.

Could they just look forward?

I found myself shamelessly taking glances at Nathan. He looks extremely handsome. Of course, I was too proud to let me know that I thought of him in such a way.

The drive to the studio was an extremely quiet one, I stared through the window and observed everyone mind their business.

Soon, I heard a loud rumble of the car tires as the car came to a sudden stop.

Where are we at our destination already?

I looked to the right to see a huge signboard that had a lady and a man holding a camera on it. I realized that we were at the studio.

“We are here,” Nathan spoke.

“I’m not blind,” I responded to him bluntly.

I expected him to say something back to me but instead, he just got down from the car, walked over to my side of the car, and opened the door for me.

I looked up at him at maintained eye contact with him shocked at his action.

Nathan was indeed serious about this entire t

    ONNIKA’S POVThe car ride was utterly silent as we weaved through the traffic, but I was painfully aware of his leg brushing against mine, and I was beginning to wonder if he was doing it on purpose, but his gaze remained glued to the passing scenery outside the window.I couldn't deny the heat from where our bodies made contact, and I really didn't like it, so I jerked my leg away from his, a scoff escaping my lips.He turned to me at the gesture, confusion in his features. “What happened? Are you okay?” He asked, looking me over.In an attempt to avoid his gaze, I pulled my phone out of my purse and started randomly clicking through stuff on social media. “Your leg was touching mine”“Is that such a bad thing? You didn't mind when we were dating” He muttered under his breath, looking out the window again.I snapped my neck to look at him, a scowl fast forming on my lips. “Yeah, thanks for the reminder, Nathan. That was two years ago, don't give me that shit now” I reminded him.He t

    Regina's POV "WHAT THE FUCK?" I yelled as I stared into my phone.The pictures of Nathan and some woman were on every tabloids and blogs I know with the caption, "THE PLAYER HAS FINALLY BEEN BAGGED."These pictures looked like pre-wedding photos and you could see Nathan and this strange woman staring into each others' eyes and smiling so brightly at each other, making my stomach turn.I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this. I felt my anger grow right inside of me, threatening to explode any moment from now.Out of anger, I smashed my phone to the ground causing it to shatter into pieces. A phone was the least of my problem; I could easily get another one. "Why would Nathan do something like this? Is it because of what he saw the last time? Oh come on, I was just playing around a little and having some fun. What's so wrong about that?" I yelled to myself.I needed answers and I needed them immediately. In order for me to get the answers I needed, I knew just the right person to m

    Onika's POV "So are you sure you're okay over there? I hope Nathan is not giving you any troubles," Kent asked me.We were talking over a video call then he has been doing this I was since I moved into Nathan's mansion. It would call everyday to ensure that Nathan was being gentlemanly towards me. "There are no troubles over here at least not for the meantime," I replied."I wish I could be there with you too make sure that nothing goes wrong," he said.I simply smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me. Everything is fine.""Okay. If you say so. So what are your plans for today?" He asked.Just as I was about to answer his question, the doorbell rang. Who would be ringing the doorbell? It was obviously not Nathan. Because he wouldn't ring the doorbell at his own house.So who could it be, I thought again.After a while, I didn't hear the doorbell ring again so I thought whoever was at the door had left already."Who was that?" Kent asked."I don't know. Maybe it was some

    Onika's POV Willow looked at me with so much anger that I thought she was going to explode. She turned to look at Nathan, hoping he was going to say something but he didn't.She scoffed and without another word said, she turned around and walked out of the house, leaving me and Nathan standing beside each other.Despite the fact that I was able to stand up to her, I was still very much upset. I could feel my anger rising."Onika, I'm sorry about my mother. I didn't know she was coming. If I had known, I'd have come home earlier to stop her from attacking you," Nathan said but I ignored him.I tried to walk away but then he grabbed my arm and in annoyance, I slapped his hands away."Get your hands off me, Nathan. Don't you have a touch me again. Remember what we have is a contract. You don't have any right to touch me except when we are to make public appearance. Got it?" I said to him, angered."Sure. I'm sorry. I just wanted to make sure that you are okay," he said, looking at me in

    Nathan's POV Although she was right, I couldn't help but feel bad about the way she said it. But I understand why she's like that. I deeply hurt her by breaking up with her the way I did.It was the most horrible way to end things with someone you're in a relationship with. I just hope with time she'd be able to forgive me, especially now that we'd be working together to keep my position in the company.Just then, I heard the snapping of fingers and I was pulled back to reality."Are you even listening to all I've been saying?" Dion asked me.I looked around me and noticed I had zoned out in the middle of an important business conversation with my best friend and partner, Dion.I shook my head to get rid of the remaining thoughts of Onika and our last encounter."Sorry Dion. I think I just zoomed out for a second. Remind me what we were talking about," I said trying to sound as nonchalant as possible. "Zoned out for a second? Are you kidding me? You've been staring into space for th

    Onika's POV I was on my phone, scrolling through Wattpad reading an interesting novel when my phone suddenly began to ring.It was Kent.I immediately picked the call, wondering what he was calling about. "Hi Onika," he greeted. "Hello Kent," I replied."Can you quickly come downstairs for a minute?" He asked."What?" I asked confused.Downstairs? I thought. What is he talking about? I wondered."Just come downstairs. I have a surprise for you," he said."A surprise?" I asked, wondering what this surprise would be."Yes, a surprise," he repeated."Okay then. I'll be down in a minute," I replied, still confused.I couldn't help but wonder what kind of surprise he had for me. I immediately got out of bed, adjusted my dressing to appear more decent and made my way downstairs. When I got downstairs, I heard the doorbell ring. Since he said he had a surprise for me, I thought it was the delivery person at the door. But when I opened the door, I was dumbfounded to find Kent standing at

    Nathan's POV Walking into the house and seeing Onika in the hands of another man made me so enraged. I couldn't even describe the anger I felt when I saw her in another man's embrace.It was as if I had been possessed by a wild, driven by alpha instinct to claim what is mine.I didn't even realize what I was doing until Onika slapped me across the face, pulling me back to reality. It was then I realized I had almost killed a person.Seeing her tend to him make me so upset but I controlled my temper. I didn't want to scare Onika anymore. I saw the fear in her eyes when she slapped me.When she turned to look at me and asked me why I did what I did, ingot up because she was taking his side and asked her if she liked him.She froze for a second, probably taken off guard by the question I had asked. Then she replied,"I don't see how my personal life is any of your business.""What?" I asked with a confused expression on my face. "You heard me. My private life is none of your business.

    Onika's POV The moment Willow and Gina walked into the house, I knew trouble was about to begin. The mere sight of them made my blood boil.When Willow said all those things about me being a slut and Kent being my secret lover, I realised that if I didn't leave at that point, I'd commit murder so I said my piece and walked away.Nathan tried to stop me but I didn't budge. He didn't even try to defend me from his mother, which made me even more pissed.When Kent and I were finally out of the house, I took a deep breath and exhaled so deeply. I was trying to release all the tension and anger in me."Wow, that was really intense," Kent said but I didn't respond to that."Are you okay?" He asked me and I turned to look at him."I should be the one asking you that. You were the one who received a great amount of beating," I said."Oh, this is nothing. You had to listen to a lot of crap from that woman. Is this how she's been treating you since you agreed to this contract?" he asked, a con

    ONIKA'S POV “Welcome back, ma'am” Amara said, following after me the next morning, her gaze burning into my back as I walked into my office, my heels clacking against the tiled floor.“Thank you. Is everything that I emailed you about in place yet?” I asked, slumping down on the swivel chair. Who knew that I would miss this piece of shit eventually? It felt so comfortable under my touch now and I leaned my head back against the headrest.She looked through the stack of papers in her arms, pulling out a binded stack of documents which she dropped unto the table, pushing them towards me. “Yes, I tried my best to get everything ready and I just need your signature on that one” She nodded to the document she has kept on my table.I looked at it with an arched brow before I grabbed it, flipping through it, unsure where this had come from. “What is this?” I had to ask.I don't remember this. This was for contracting a new construction company, why would we need this?“We need the company t

    ONIKA'S POVIt had been several hours on the flight and now we were on our way back to the mansion but surprisingly, it hadn't felt that way. Maybe it was the way Nathan kept throwing subtle glances at me when he thought I wasn't looking. Or the way he kept shifting in his seat, trying to get comfortable but failing miserably.Or maybe it was just the fact that I couldn't stop thinking about everything that had happened over the past few days.I looked out of the window. We were back in town meaning back with work and every bad thing that came with being in the country. Not like I could escape it anyways.Nathan was on a call, his voice low but firm as he spoke in hushed whispers. His fingers tapped against his knee, a telltale sign that something was bothering him.After what felt like a whole hour, he finally hung up and sighed, leaning his head back against the seat.I stretched my arms above my head and leaned back into the seat. "Is that work?"Nathan hummed in response, his gaze

    ONIKA'S POVThe next morning, I woke up to the feeling of warm lips pressed to my forehead and my eyes fluttered open to see Nathan staring down at me with a smile on his face."Good morning, sleeping beauty" He grinned, sitting up and stretching his arms above his head.It was morning already?I groaned, sitting up also, a yawn escaping me as I tried to get myself oriented with my surroundings again then I looked at him. "What are you doing so early?" I asked, my voice still groggy and full of sleep.He stood up and looked over his shoulder at me. "We're leaving today, you remember that, yeah?" He asked, his brows pinched together.Oh right... We were supposed to leave today. "Right, sorry I'm not myself right now yet" I apologized, throwing my legs off the bed, my limbs aching as soon as I stood up.He nodded, understanding what I was trying to say but there was no judgement on his face, just sheer amusement. "Get ready, breakfast is already done. Also your phone was ringing and I f

    ONIKA'S POVMy eyes were wide with horror.What had I done?Nathan was right there, casually sipping his water, completely oblivious to the fact that I had just exposed myself in the most humiliating way possible. Meanwhile, on my phone screen, Laura’s mouth was hanging open like she had just witnessed a crime scene."Onika. What. The. Fuck?" Her voice came through the speaker, but it was more of a shriek.Oh, for fuck’s sake.I snatched up the phone, clutching it like I could somehow undo the last five seconds. “Uh—hey, Laura! Didn’t realize it was a video call! Haha, wow, technology, right?” I let out the most awkward laugh of my life even though my voice quivered.Could the earth just open up and swallow me?Laura didn’t even blink. She just leaned closer to her screen, her eyes narrowing. “Don’t ‘hey, Laura’ me. What the hell am I looking at?”“Nothing?” I tried, tilting the camera slightly away from Nathan who had sat back on the couch beside me, but it was too late.Laura’s eyes

    ONIKA'S POVWith a sigh, I went to the door and opened it to see Nathan standing there, a small smile on his face."Hey" He smiled at me but the smile on his smile wiped off as soon as he saw the distraught look on my face."Are you alright?" He asked, raising a brow, his hand automatically rising up to touch my face.I didn't flinch away, instead I found myself leaning towards his touch, his hand was cold against my skin and I hummed in satisfaction at how right it felt.He furrowed his brows but he didn't pull away. "Are you alright?" He asked again.I pulled away and nodded, sighing. "Yeah, I'm fine. I think... Let's just go back to the mansion, hm?" I forced a smile at him.A smile creeped up his face and he leaned forward to press a quick kiss to my lips and to be honest, I wasn't expecting it but I leaned into it, kissing him back just as deeply. It just felt....right.Slowly, he pulled away and pressed his forehead to mine, his eyes searching mine. "Alright, meet me downstairs

    ONIKA'S POVNathan must have seen the way my face paled because the smile on his face wiped away and was replaced by a more serious expression."Who's that?" He asked, his voice soft as he nodded to my phone.Almost instinctively, I clutched the phone to my chest, looking up at him. "Just a few friends... I uh... Should go take a shower before the driver gets here..." I straightened up, determined to keep my face impassive.Nathan looked like he was almost about to call me out on my lie and argue with me but then he stopped and nodded, like he had accepted defeat and didn't want to push me further than I wanted to tell him.Why didn't I want to tell him? It wasn't like I had anything going on with Kent but a small part of me still felt guilty because I knew that despite how Kent acted, he cared and he would be disappointed if he found out that I had forgiven Nathan and even gotten back together with him. Fuck.I had not spoken to Kent in a while now since I got back from Barcelona. He

    ONIKA'S POVThe sound of the shower running was what woke me up the next morning.I groaned and rolled over in bed, my eyes fluttering open as I stared at my unfamiliar surroundings. Where was I?The shower running in the background was more prominent now but I was more concerned on getting myself together to know where I was. It took me about a minute then the memories of the previous night came rushing back and I felt a slight tingle between my thighs.Oh fuck.I buried my face in my hands, second hand embarrassment making me mortified now that I thought about it. Did I regret it? No. But would I want to face him today? No.That's it.I could sneak out of the hotel and get a cab or something to go back to the mansion where I could prolong the time that I would have to face him. It was impossible to get a cab as at last night due to the damn storm but I could order a ride from here and think about my life before he realized that I was gone.He'd soon be out of the shower. Shit.I qui

    ONIKA'S POVI felt his hand release our intertwined hands to gently fondle my breasts, flicking my hardened nipples, eliciting a moan from me.“You like that?” He whispered huskily, his breathing ragged as he gently pressed a kiss down my bare chest, each press of his cold lips against my skin making my core clench around nothing.Fuck, I wanted him so bad.“Yes
” I breathed out, struggling to keep my gaze on him as he kissed down to my breasts, his hand ghosting over my boobs and it was safe to say that I wanted nothing more but to feel his mouth on them.As though he could hear my thoughts, His lips wrapped around my nipple again, sucking softly, the warm feeling of his mouth wrapped around my breasts making me let out a strangled moan that sounded like a cross between a moan and a plea. "God, Onika," He mumbled, his voice low and gravelly. "You taste so good." His hand slid down my stomach slowly, making me shiver. "Spread your legs baby,”He gently pulled down my trousers, throwi

I could say noㅡback out now like I always said I would if it ever came to this ㅡbut as I looked into his eyes, I found myself hesitating.I expected to hate myself for it but I just couldn't bring myself to do that, I inhaled sharply, refusing to tear my gaze away from his. He was being patient, not wanting to scare me away as he hovered above me, a pleading look on his face.Of all the things running through my mind, I so badly wanted to say yes, allow him to do what he had in mind with me but something held me backㅡ what if I got hurt again?I always said I missed the memories alone but now I realized that I missed the person himself, he had changed, he had broken me and he was trying to fix it, I shouldn't make it easy for him, I shouldn't put my heart on the line again but here I was
