The moment Nathan’s car came to a halt in front of the building, he immediately unbuttoned his suit before making his way towards the reception.This was one of the biggest hotels in New York and he was wondering why his blackmailer asked him to be here. Wasn’t this too exquisite?“Hello sir” the receptionist flashed him a smile, “welcome to sugar”“I am here to see Mr Stefan,” he answered.“One second” the lady muttered and began to type away on her system. After a few seconds, she looked up at him again with a smile on her lips.“Yes, he is expecting you. He is by the poolside”With one last nod, he made his way towards the pool and only one man was seated under a nice shade. Nathan knew he was the caller and didn’t waste time in walking toward him but he was immediately stopped by his guards, a gesture that made his forehead crease into a frown.“Let him go,” Stefan said from where he was seated.Rolling his eyes, the big boss walked up to him and he didn’t even bother to hide the
Audrey was all set and ready to leave, she was just giving the finishing touches to her hair when her door pushed open and her aunt sauntered into the room with a smile on her face.“I can see you are all ready to leave?” She asked Bianca while lowering herself on the bed.“Yes aunt” she replied, “fashion week starts next week, I have to put the finishing touches to things”“Well” aunt Aurora shrugged, “your flight leaves in an hour, I was hoping you could spare me a few minutes. I want to discuss something with you, child”A small frown appeared on Bianca’s forehead, now she was wondering what her aunt wanted to talk about.“Of course aunt” she walked over to the bed and gently perched on it, “I am all ears”Aunt Aurora heaved a sigh before turning her full attention to Bianca, a look of pain and sadness looming in her eyes.“My dear” she began almost immediately, “don’t you think it is high time you forgive Nathan for what he did to you?”The frown on Bianca’s face intensified and s
The door to his office pushed open and she gently sauntered into the room. Xavier, who was busy with a document, immediately turned his attention to her and stood up. He didn’t flash her any smile as usual but part of him was happy to have her back.“Hey, you”“Aren’t you excited to see me?” Bianca asked him, her face also expressionless.“You are finally here” Xavier forced himself to say, “i actually thought you might not come back but here you are”“Are you upset?” Bianca couldn’t help but ask him as he came face to face with her, “why…“Why?” Xavier flared up while raking his hand through his hair, “how can you casually walk into my office and ask if I am upset B? Of course I am” he paused for a moment, his eyes not leaving hers for even a second,“ I am upset and it's all your fault. How could you just discard me after being with Nathan? Do I mean nothing to you at all?“I said we were going to talk about it when I get back, right?” She inquired, “and I am sorry okay? I was just v
Audrey stood in front of the mirror as she looked over herself for the umpteenth time which made tears well up in her eyes. This was not what she planned or even wanted but here she was, dressed in a wedding gown and getting ready to walk down the aisle.This was the most insane moment of her life, how did she become the bride instead of the chief bride’s maid?A knock on the door called her attention and she hastily cleaned her eyes before the door pushed open and a woman in her early fifties sauntered into the room looking all dressed up. A bright smile was lingering on her face.“You look so beautiful my dear”“Thank you Mrs Henandez” Audrey answered. The woman moved closer to her ane envelope her in a hug, “i know this is hard for you Audrey but this is the only way out”Audrey was silent for a while, a lot was going on in her mind.“Maybe Vanessa will be back, we can’t rush into things like this ma’am” she wanted this wedding to be called off, Audrey didn’t want to get married es
“Are you okay, honey?” Mrs Henandez asked as she walked up to her, “is the air conditioning a bit chilly for you?” This was the first time Audrey was finding herself in a plane, it was supposed to be a thing of joy but she didn’t even know how she felt, it was just….just too weird.“Of course not ma’am” Audrey nodded in the negative, “It's just so hard to believe that I am on the plane right now?”A soft laugh resonated out of her throat as she sat beside the lady,“Why don’t you think of this as your honeymoon? I mean you got married to the man of every girls dreams, isn’t this like hitting the jackpotAudrey scoffed but didn’t say anything, if Nathan was every girl's dream then she didn’t want him.She looked out of the window and her mind drifted off to a certain someone, the boy she loved. Jakes and her have been more like causal friends since they could probably remember and one thing led to another and she fell in love with him, maybe it was because he was more like the only f
Nathan was standing near his window when his mother sauntered into the room and he could feel the scent of another cologne that didn’t belong to anyone he knew.“Mum” he called out and the lady walked up to him and enveloped him in a bear hug.Audrey was still standing dumbfounded at the outcome of her reality. That rat faced ugly guy was not Nathan Hernandez but this hot looking guy that had all white hair and the most pretty face she had ever seen.If Nathan was this hot and breathtaking, why did the other guy take his place at the altar?A lot was going on in her mind as she watched the mother son duo converse comfortably forgetting about her existence.“You didn’t tell me you were coming mum” Nathan said as his mother led him to the bed.“It was a surprise baby, i didn’t want to spoil it”“Hmmm” he nodded but didn’t say anything again and that was when Mrs Henandez turned her attention to the girl who was still standing by the door looking all flustered.“Why are you standing th
“Audrey, please. No one has to know, just for a few weeks or even a month” Mrs Hernandez cajoled, “I will feel better with you here. Nathan doesn’t have to know anything until our business is finished”“But….” Her voice trailed off when she saw the handle of the door turn and the door opened.“Mum” Nathan called from the door and the woman froze, she was hoping he didn’t hear their conversation.“What happened baby?” Mrs Hernandez asked, “you need something?”Nathan didn’t move as he stretched out his hand and she took it, “is Vanessa planning on leaving?”“Of course not,” she answered, “are you?”Aurdrey was dumbfounded for a while, she could feel the pain in his voice but how could she lie like this! This was not what she thought would happen and now..“Nessa, I know I am blind but that doesn’t mean I don’t love you, you know that right? If you are willing, we can get married and I can give you everything you want”A lot was going on in her head as she stood watching him talk. How co
His attitude made Audrey to feel more guilty.the fact that she was deceiving a blind man didn’t go well with her but what could she do? She was already neck deep into the lies and deception, backing down was going to ruin him more than necessary.“Baby” Nathan called out to her again and she jolted out of her reverie of thoughts.“Why? What happened?”Once again she was lost in the ocean of his blue eyes, the fact that he was blind made it hard for her to admire its beauty and coupled with his natural handsome face, Nathan was like someone straight out of a painting. More of a Greek god.“You know” Nathan held onto her hand again, “when you left I thought you were never going to come back, it made me feel so weak and useless that I couldn’t get to keep you” Nathan pursed again, this time the tears that gathered in his eyes made his eyes look more beautiful and empty. She was mesmerized by it.“I….”“Shhhh” Audrey placed her hand on his lips, “stop talking like it’s your fault okay?”“
