Nicholas POV
I felt Monica slowly relaxing in my embrace as she slowly placed her hand on my shoulder.
I sought for entrance into her mouth and she instantly gave me the entrance, our tougue dancing against each other as the kiss became rough.
My hands moved from her waist to her boobs and I heard her moan in the kiss. I was losing myself and I knew that if we didn’t stop now, I was going to do something that she might regret.
She suddenly pushed me and stared at me with shock in her eyes, her right hand on her lips “I’m sorry that shouldn’t have happened” she said as she picked up her bag which she had dropped on the floor, and walked out of the room.
I breathe in and out, trying to calm my nerves. “Sh*t” I cursed, seeing my evident huge bulge protruding in my pants.
I looked at Macy who looked back at me and raised her hand in the air, giggling and smiling. “I’m sorry you had to see that. Daddy just couldn’t control himself” I apologized to Macy who just stared at me.
Once I was sure that I was fine, I walked out of the room and took the stairs to the living room but didn’t find Monica in the living room.
“Where are they?” I asked, my eyes scanning the living room for any sign of Monica
“They’re gone” Anthony replied, his gaze lingering on me “What happened in there?”
“What do you mean?” I asked, feigning ignorance.
“Monica’s face looked flushed and she continued avoiding Ethan’s eyes as he walked down the stairs. She acted very weird and I know something happened between you two” Anthony said and I sighed as I walked and took a seat beside Aunt Ella.
“We kissed,” I said, dropping the bomb and ending Anthony’s lingering gaze. Anthony’s lips went upwards, forming a smile on his face.
“What?” Aunt Ella and Mrs Clara exclaimed in shock.
“Wow,” Anthony said, a smile across his face.
“Are you just going to let Ethan take her from you?” Aunt Ella asked, sadness laced in her voice
“I don’t know what to do anymore Aunt. Monica believes Ethan more than she believes me. She believes he is her husband and she believes I’m the bad guy” I said, obviously worn out as a result of the whole matter
“Ethan is an asshole. I want to grab him by the neck and strangle him to death” Anthony said, demonstrating with his hand and gritting his teeth
“What happened back there in Germany Nicholas? You still haven’t said anything to us. You came back yesterday and you were a shadow of yourself. You shut yourself in your room and refused to talk to anyone. So what happened?” Aunt Ella asked, concern laced in her voice.
“I was set up, aunt. I was almost sent to jail in Germany and I’m just grateful Anthony took the next available flight to Germany to save my ass. If not for the Anthony investigation, I wouldn’t even be here now “I said, memories of the day the police handcuffs filled my mind.
That was a day I will never forget. It was unexpected and if not for those cops, I should have been by Monica’s side when she had woken up and not Ethan.
“Nicholas was suspected of murder and was almost sent to jail in Germany,” Anthony said, starting the explain to Aunt Ella and Mrs Clara.
“what! Murder? How?” Mrs Clara asked and I remembered how I felt when Anthony had told me that this was the reason for my arrest.
“Yes, mom. The cops arrested me and took me to prison. Everything was extremely difficult because we couldn’t speak Deutsch. The cops could hear English but they won’t reply us with English. It was extremely hard” I said.
“But you didn’t kill anyone so why would they suspect you for murder?” Aunt Ella asked and I looked at Anthony who also threw me a glance.
“It’s a long story Aunt”
“Spit it out, Anthony. I want to know if it was Nicholas’s fault that Monica was with Ethan right now” Aunt Ella said and I chuckled at her words
“it’s not his fault aunt. The person that was murdered was murdered with a knife and Nicholas’s fingerprint was found on that knife. To make things worse, the person had a very high status in Germany and the cops were trying to make sure that they got the killer”
“How did Nicholas’ fingerprint end up on a knife? He was with Monica and spent most of his time at the hospital so how or when did he have the time to hold a knife” Mrs Clara asked curiously
“It was my fault, Mom. I wanted to get flowers for Monica when she woke up and I did but mistakingly bumped into someone”
“You didn’t bump into him Nicholas, the dude bumped into you,” Anthony said, interrupting my words. “The dude bumped into Nicholas and his knife fell which Nicholas picked up and that was how Nicholas’s fingerprint ended on the knife” Anthony explained.
Thinking back on everything, I finally understood why I felt strange when that man walked passed me in Germany back then.
He had gloves in his hand and intentionally dropped that knife so I would pick it up.
“The man used that same knife on his victim and when the cops came to the scene and saw the knife, they saw a fingerprint on it and the fingerprints matched Nicholas’s fingers. It took a lot to prove Nicholas’s innocence”
“Are you okay son? I’m so sorry for what I said earlier. It wasn’t your fault that Monica woke up and didn’t see you. You weren’t with her because you were suspected and imprisoned for something you had no idea about” Aunt Ella said, her voice low but filled with guilt.
“It’s okay aunt. I’m fine now. I’m just happy to be back. Germany is a nice country but their language is a lot of stress. So hard to understand” I complained, remembering how I often told Paul to translate whatever they said to English so I could understand.
“At least, the purpose for going to Germany was achieved,” Mrs Clara said sadly
“A Reason that has gone back to be with our enemy,” Anthony said, referring to Monica and Ethan.
“Monica’s feelings for me are still there but she will need time to get used to me,” I said, speaking from the kiss I shared with Monica today.
I know that I’ve awakened something in her with that kiss. Monica kissed me like she knew me. Her body and heart recognized me even when her brain didn’t.
“Are you sure? Monica is obviously with Ethan and she is believing everything he tells her” Anthony said.
“I’m positive Monica will come back to me. It’s just time. Time will tell. Ethan can’t keep lying forever. The truth will be out” I said.
I knew in my heart that Monica would come back to me. I had a gut feeling it would take a long time and I was willing to wait. She had to discover who her enemies were and who her friends were.
