POV: NathanI thought I was ready for this, but nothing could prepare me for what I was about to see. I was so distracted when Laura and Kendrick walked into the house, kissing excitedly. It hurt me to see her this happy with another man, and at the same time, it scares me to see how pale she has become. It’s obvious that he has pumped her full of this damned drug, she isn’t feeling well at all. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t know what she is doing right now, she is not in her right senses anymore. One more dosage of his serum could drive her insane or make her lose her memory forever.“We need to act fast, guys, she needs that antidote as soon as possible. Don’t speak to him, I’ll keep him occupied while you deal with her.” I instructed my guys through the intercom we are using to communicate with each other. I spoke silently so I don’t arouse their attention until they walk on through the door and shut the damn door. They were still fooling around by the beach, kissing and giggling exc
POV: Nathan After the incident, Laura was taken to the hospital to receive the necessary medical attention and recover from the traumatic experience. I stood by her side throughout the entire process, providing comfort, support, and a sense of security. I felt so worried, I couldn’t help feeling concerned for her well-being, and I made sure she received the best possible care from the doctors. So far, we have spent a few days in the hospital, and as the days passed, Laura's strength began to return, both physically and emotionally. I would have loved to say that my constant presence and unwavering love were her source of strength during the healing process, but that would be a big lie. The only reason she is trying so hard to get better is because she wants to pay a visit to her friends, look them in the eyes, and ask them why they betrayed her this way. If you ask me, I think she is simply looking for a reason to forgive them, and that would be so stupid. We should let them face t
POV: Laura It's almost 2:00 in the morning. I sat up on our big mahogany bed, supporting my head with my hand. I’d just been woken up by a nightmare. It's the same nightmare that has plagued me ever since I heard the rumor that Nathan is going to going to be my husband.It was three years ago, but I remember it as if it was yesterday. Dad had woken me up with the news that I was getting married to his best friend's son. I had no idea who he was and I’d never met him before that day. Our marriage was arranged by our dads, his family needed a huge loan from Dad, and Dad gave them the condition that I get married to Nathan.Dad wanted to punish me for being rebellious. I am his only child, and yet I wasn’t concerned about the family business, I never cared about the company and our other businesses. All I did was party with my friends and have as much fun as I desired. So he decided to punish me by forcing me into this loveless marriage. He hoped that marriage would humble me and make m
POV: Nathan I leaned my back against my high-backed swivel seat and made a steeple with the tip of my finger as I listened to the man seated across from me. To a stranger, it would seem as though my mind was a million miles away, but in truth, every nerve in my body is alert. I’m taking in every word he is saying and processing every detail. The man seated across from me is Ethan Hawke, my lawyer, and best friend. He just brought me the divorce papers I requested for, but as usual, he felt the need to advise me against it, claiming that I was making a wrong decision. He thinks I’m an asshole for using her family's wealth to revive our company and bring my family’s business back on track. I can’t really say that I blame him for thinking that I’m the bad guy. He’s not the one who has to live with that boring housewife of mine. She carries herself like a dutiful housewife, acting like a perfect housewife. She spends every fucking minute in that house, brooding and regretting her dec
POV: Laura I wasn’t expecting this, I did not expect to be greeted with a divorce paper. I’d always thought that he was too much of a gentleman to call it quits. That is why I was shocked at first. I thought he was just joking around, I had to pretend to be sad so he doesn’t suspect a thing. But the truth is that I’m not just excited, I’m in a party mood right now. This is exactly what I wanted, but I didn't get the chance to say that yet. Actually, I didn’t want to be the one to propose a divorce first. I’d been struggling to keep up with this boring lifestyle for three solid years. Gosh, it’s been hell to live with this guy, I could barely breathe. He’s such a prude, and I had to pretend to be as prude as he was just to make this fucking marriage work and bring honor to my family. I’m used to living a wild life, I love clubbing and partying. I love having fun with my friends every fucking day. But since I married this guy, it’s been hell on earth. This has been a loveless marriage
POV: LauraI couldn’t contain my excitement any longer. This is just too good to be true. I can’t believe that I’m free to do anything I want, I mean anything at all. I’ve wasted three years of my life with this guy, and now that I’m free, I won’t let anything hold me back from having so much fun. Tonight is going to be so much fun, especially when I will drinking and dancing on the dance floor acting naughty. Tonight is the grand opening of a new nightclub in town. It is rumored to be one of the best clubs in town because of its location and nicely built facilities. I happen to know the owner of this new set-up, he used to be my friend once upon a time, and we are invited to the grand opening of his clubhouse. This day is just perfect, tonight I am celebrating a new beginning in my life, and I’ll be gracing the dance floor with my presence. I’ll have fun like never before, it’s going to be so exciting. I checked up on Cameron and Vinnie, urging them to hurry the hell up and meet me
POV: Nathan “So, how do you feel now?Proud?Happy?I hope you are happy, Nate, and I hope you did the right thing.” Dilan told me.“Of course, he’s happy!Can’t you see him celebrating and jubilating?Oh, wait,I almost missed it!You are not celebrating, and that means you didn’t do the right thing, and that is why you have that look of regret on your face, Mr. Grumpy Ass!” Ethan cursed, laughing at me and making me more miserable.“Yeah right!Rub it in and make me feel worse, dumbass!” I retorted, pulling my hand through my hair in frustration. I felt so bad after making her sign those papers. That look of pain and shock she first gave me will forever be in my memory. The fact that she had no negative reaction to the divorce made me look like a fucking gold digger. I had no choice but to accept her every demand just to make it right and please her.But I felt so bad the moment I left her presence. She’s kicking me out of the house and also taking back her father's company from me
POV: Laura At first, I couldn’t respond to his sassy words because I don’t know why he’s getting so worked up. Then he dragged me out of the club like a fucking child. I struggled to break free, but I soon got tired because I was too drunk to argue and I was way too tired to fight him off. I thought he would keep scolding me and reminding me that I brought shame to the family, but he wasn’t the least bit interested in that, he was more concerned about my looks and how pretty I looked tonight. Before I knew what he was doing, he dips his head and kisses me passionately, sucking my tongue in a passionate head-spinning kiss that left me breathless.“What was that for?” I asked in a daze, trying to regain my composure. But he wouldn’t give me an answer, he just opened the car door and held it open for me, “You’ll find out when we get home. Now get your pretty ass in there,” he ordered sternly, sounding so hot.Gosh, He sounds so sexy!I don’t know how to say no to him when he’s being s
