CHAPTER 52Layla’s POV“I don’t think I will be available tomorrow night, I might be on night shift.” I lied to them.“Oh come, don’t say no, look for someone to help you cover up,” Chloe added like she just wanted me to come by all means to make me feel jealous about her being with Nate.“Layla, you are not on night duty tomorrow, Your night shifts start from next week and not this week.”“Oh, you are right Doctor Michael, what was I even thinking?” I started laughing to cover up, guess there is no way to avoid it and Michael will not want to go by himself so I will go, it’s just for a few hours.“I will come.” I finally gave in and Chloe hugged me saying, “Yes, I am so happy, Don’t worry when Nate finally proposes to me, I will make you my chief bridesmaid, You know I rarely keep friends but I think we are good friends already.” She said just to annoy me.“I don’t think Nate will want to propose to you,” I said just to break her eagle because Nate refused to sign the divorce papers

Chapter 54Layla’s POVHe moved closer and….and..and…… I had to stop him, this is wrong, I need to leave now, I don’t think I can do this, I suddenly felt guilty like I was about to do something wrong against my husband.“I am sorry but I need to go home.” I hastened my movement and he begged me to wait to say, “I am sincerely sorry, I don’t know what came over me for a second.” He said and I told myself, after the double date tomorrow, I won’t be having any more dates with him, this is for the best, what if something like this happens again? I will never forgive myself.“It’s okay, I am not upset with you, I just need to go home,” I said to him and he begged me to drive me home.I knew if I refused him, he would still have the mindset that I was angry with him and I didn’t want that, I caused the whole thing and I should be asking for his forgiveness because I wanted to make use of him to get the divorce I needed from Nate and he Is not aware but I am glad he didn't do what he wante

Chapter 56Layla’s POVI took a taxi and headed home immediately and my phone started ringing, who could be calling? I wondered. I brought out my phone from my handbag and saw Nate’s name, why is he calling me? I picked up the call saying, “Yes.”“Where are you?” he asked.“I am already on my way home, why are you asking?”“I thought we would be going home together.” He said acting all cool.“I changed my mind, you were so busy so why should I interrupt you.” I indirectly expressed myself to him because he knew what I was discussing.“Yes, I was busy, you take care, I will see you at home then, be..” I ended the call not wanting to hear what he has to say because everything he was doing right now was making me unhappy.I got to the house and went directly to my room, I had to freshen up and wore my nightwear to sleep immediately, I didn’t have time to start talking to Nate once he returned and talk of the devil, laying on my bed to sleep, he knocked at my door.“Can I come in?” he ask

Chapter 58Layla’s POV“Nate is not aware I am calling you Layla, I know you two might not be on good terms for now but your husband is becoming a drunkard, he might die at this rate, please I beg you, just come and see him, maybe he will feel better when he sees you, he is like a mess right now in my place.”“What? Nate doesn’t drink to get intoxicated, are you lying to make me come there?” I questioned trying so hard not to fall victim again and rush there because of my emotions.“I am not lying Layla, you have to trust me, he keeps calling your name, please come to my place and I believe that when he sets eyes on you, he will be fine.”“Okay, I will be there shortly.” I ended the call and took a deep breath. I think it will be wise to stay back and also it will be heartless to leave him wasted. Okay, Layla, this is what you are going to do, you are going to meet Nate at his cousin’s place and calm him to sleep then I leave immediately without looking back, nothing is ever going to

Chapter 60Nate’s POVI almost developed a heart attack when I saw another dude caressing my wife's hair, I got so vexed and left angrily, how could she do this to me despite everything I was doing to win her heart?I drove at a high speed and I almost ended up in an accident, I had to pack my car and step out of it taking a walk around even though I had no idea where I drove to. I am a man, I should learn to control my emotions but what if I had approached them, I would have created a scene and remained in regret because I would have ended up beating up that dude.My mind is troubled, damn love, I wish Layla's father was still alive, I could have related everything with him, he knows how much I care for Layla. Wilson's call came in and I rushed to pick up his call, “Hello cousin.”“Where are you? tell me, she loved the flowers right? Tell me your marriage is going to work with both of you having love for each other, that has always been my wish, I mean your wish or is it our wish?” H
