Nicholas POV
THE NEXT DAY
My hands ached from the so much signing and I rose to my feet to just view the building around us from the huge glass window behind my desk.
I still couldn’t get my mind off Monica. She seemed very off yesterday and I can’t help but blame myself for allowing us to have s* x yesterday.
I ought to have indulged her in a heart-to-heart conversation. She looked frozen when she hit Ethan’s car yesterday.
Why did she even get in Ethan’s car in the first place? Why didn’t she call me to inform me of her whereabouts? Why did she look shocked and confused when she saw me?
These unanswered questions filled my head and I couldn’t help but sigh in exhaustion. Monica was hiding something and I knew it.
The door burst open and I turned around to meet Monica who was smiling from ear to ear as she walked majestically to my desk
“hello honey,” her calm and steady voice with the smile on her face indicated that she woke up on the right side of the bed today.
“What are you doing here?” I asked, standing frozen as she walked up to me and placed a long deep kiss on my cheeks.
“Can’t I see my husband?” She asked, raising a brow as she stared at me amusingly.
“Yeah yeah of course,” I said, stammering at my words “is just you seemed off yesterday and I didn’t expect you to show up this_”
“I want to go shopping,” she said, cutting my words off.
My eyes widened in shock as I stared at Monica, not blinking at all. “You want to go shopping?” I asked again in disbelief.
“Yes,” she replied.
“And I guess you want me to follow you,” I asked again.
“Yes,” she responds again, smiling genuinely with her teeth in display.
“What did you take today honey? You seem a little off” I said, my eyes roaming her body as I observed her from head to toe.
“You don’t want to follow me? Are you busy? Maybe I should go alone” Monica asked, her voice now low while she pouted her lips sadly.
My mouth hung open in the air at her sudden change in attitude. She slowly turned around, her lips downturned as she began taking steps towards the door.
I sighed as I stretched my hands toward my chair and grabbed my suit jacket. I walked behind her and took hold of her wrist as soon as I got closer to her
“Let’s go,” I said as I opened the door for her to step out and together, we took the elevator.
“You brought the kids here?” I yelled as I stared at Mason who was fast asleep and Macy who was stretching her hands towards me.
Austin carried Macy with a baby chest holder while Oscar held Mason with a baby sling. Austin and Oscar looked so ridiculous while carrying the kids.
The straight face they wore showed their seriousness in their new duties.
“I wanted to go shopping with the whole family,” she said, pouting her lips sadly like a child.
“How do you intend to shop while also looking out for them,” I asked, slightly angry.
“That’s why you are coming along” I stared at Monica in disbelief. “Let’s go,” she said, wearing a big smile and walking to the car.
“We will get this and this and this and_” Monica picked out lots of new feeding bottles and feeding cereals for the kids as I pushed the shopping cart behind her
“Why are you buying so much food for the kids?” I asked, feeling tired and bored
“I like to buy things in bulk” she replied and continued buying tins of milk and cereals and other things I had no idea about.
Soon enough, she was done with shopping for the kid’s food, and we both moved to the clothes section for females.
I watched as she chose different clothes and put them on for me to see and choose the one I liked and I did. This was the only part of the shopping that I enjoyed.
“Mr Sterling Mrs. Sterling asks that you come look at her dress” A lady who was in charge of the clothes Monica had selected walked up to me.
I rose to my feet and walked my way to the private changing room and I paused in my tracks with what I was seeing through the mirror.
“Do you like?” Monica asked shyly, avoiding my eyes from the mirror.
Standing in front of the mirror was Monica in red net lingerie and I couldn’t help but swallow hard as I felt my bulge begin to respond to the tantalizing sight my eyes were beholding.
I walked up to her and stood behind her, still staring at her perfectly endowed body through the mirror, her curves making the panties for her perfectly.
“We’re getting this,” I said instantly, my eyes staring hungrily at her perfectly round b***s which seemed to be a little fuller than normal.
“Yes we are” she responded and I slowly wrapped my hands gently around her tiny waist.
“You’re damn lucky we aren’t at home” I whispered in her ears, holding myself back from ravishing her.
“And you’re the damn unlucky today,” she said, her eyes closing as my lips softly caressed her neck.
“Let’s take this home” I whispered again, biting the tip of her ears gently while rubbing her round backside on my bulge.
“If you start this now, someone might walk in on us so let’s finish up everything and go home” Monica suggested, biting her lips seductively obviously turned on.
“I’ll get the car so we both drive home together while Austin and Oscar will drive alone,” I said as soon as we stepped outside the mall. I crossed the road to the other road and entered the car to start the engine.
Instantly, a black pulled up in front of Monica, breaking my gaze on her, and before I could understand anything, I began to hear gunshots.
I stormed out of the car instantly and rushed to where Monica was but stormed on Austin and Oscar who were groaning on the ground in pain.
The kids were no longer with them so was Monica who was standing here a few seconds ago.
The black van zoomed past me and I instantly pursued it “Monica” I yelled but the black van only went faster.
