Monica’s POV
TWO DAYS LATER
“Hey honey” Nicholas uttered with a smile on his lips the moment he saw me. He spread his arms for me and I ran into his embrace.
“Good morning,” I said, a satisfied smile on my face as I wrapped my hands around him.
We’ve been meeting secretly in hotels, restaurants, and even shopping malls and I’ve been having a great time with Nicholas.
I finally realized that my heart belonged to Nicholas. The connections, the sparks, and the feelings were all natural and not mistakes.
“I hope no one followed you here?” He asked, his hands wrapped around my waist.
“I checked properly and made sure I wasn’t followed,” I said and he broke the hug and held me by my wrist, dragging me gently along with him as we both went to sit down on the blue sofa in the room.
“I missed you,” he said, pacing his head on my lap with the remaining part of his body on the sofa.
“I missed you too,” I said, running my hand through his long black hair.
“Where are the kids?” He asked, staring at me with his deep blue eyes.
“They are in their prawn, fast asleep” I responded, smiling at him. I liked the fact that he gazed at me like the only treasure he had.
“You seem to be getting younger each passing day and I can’t help but thank my stars for bringing such a beautiful angel my way”
My cheeks heated up as I averted my eyes with a shy smile on my face. He always knows how to make me smile.
“Thank you,” I said shyly, unsure of what to say.
“I have a question,” Nicholas said and I shifted my gaze back to him
“What is it?” I asked and he raised his head from my lap, coughing nervously
“Nothing much. I just wanted to know if Ethan might have… touched you or had sex with you” Nicholas asked, avoiding my eyes and I smiled at his nervous cute eyes.
“Of course not. He has been kissing me sometimes and trying to sleep with me but I’ve been avoiding him and I always tell him I’m not ready yet”
“Okay that’s a relief,” Nichol said and placed his head back on my lap.
“Anything yet on Ethan or Mia?” I asked. I was slowly getting tired of staying with Ethan and I longed to be with Nicholas
“I heard their discussion some days back and he mentioned something about getting rid of me. Mia also mentioned something about having our kids to herself and she seems to despise you a lot” Nicholas said and I could agree with him
Mia has always been very cold towards me and she never likes when Ethan and I are chatting or talking. She always gives me a certain glare that always sends chills down my spine.
“I know she doesn’t like me and I always try to avoid her,” I said
“If she ever tries to fight you, don’t ever beg or let her win you. Stand up for yourself and bring her down where she belongs” Nicholas said, his voice firm and steady as he raised his head from my lap.
Mia always scared me but I always try to put up a strong and serious face.
“Don’t ever let her talk down on you or say mean things. If she ever tries to talk to you with a mean tone, don’t keep quiet but answer her instantly and show her that you’re not scared of her. Put her in her place”
“But there are times that she yells and I’m scared and_” I said but Nicholas replied me, interrupting my words.
“No Monica, you must not show your enemy that you’re scared. Always remain composed and keep a straight face. Mia is your enemy and you must never let her look down on you or make you feel inferior” Nicholas replied with a sharp and bold tone.
“Okay,” I said, determination seeping into my heart as I made a decision not to keep quiet and allow mia talk down on me anymore.
“You have to also be careful too. Ethan and Mia are smart and will never let you go Scott-free if they ever find out that we’re together. Mia might decide to kill you or Ethan might just go crazy and kidnap you” Nicholas said, putting more fear in my heart
Many thoughts ran through my head as Nicholas spoke. I might have lost all my memories but the first time was aw Ethan, I didn’t feel anything towards him and I felt insecure.
Nicholas was right. I needed to be careful about Ethan. I needed him to trust me and I needed to also make him hate Mia.
Mia was smart and very manipulative. The first time I laid my eye on her, I didn’t like her but I just had to be close to her because I thought she was my sister-in-law now, I’m no longer going to take things easy with her anymore
Just as Nicholas had said, I should never let her know that I’m scared of her. I just show a bold front and put her in her place.
Firstly, I’m going to turn Ethan against her and make sure he dislikes her. If Mia was planning to take my kids away from me without any pity, then she deserves no pity from me.
“What about if am caught? What do I do then?” I said instantly as the thought dropped in my heart
“You must never be caught. We have to carry out all our plans carefully. Until I find a solid evidence that Ethan was the mastermind behind the reason I was arrested in Germany, I will not be ready so please honey, we can’t get caught” Nicholas said, sighing in exhaustion
“I hope nothing goes wrong. I’m scared that they might hurt you if they find out and_” Nicholas started to say but I cut him off
“I’ll be careful. Don’t worry about me” I said assuredly and Nicholas engulfed me in a comforting embrace.
