Chapter 34Layla’s POVMy eyes landed on Nate by mistake and he left looking angry while others were still cheering and my team were also happy for me.He unlocked from the hug and wore a smile and I smiled also in return. I had to meet my team because he has many things to do and many patients to meet as well.“I knew you had a crush on him,” Lisa said touching my face,“No, I don’t know,” I replied.“Stop lying to us sweetheart, your cheeks were all red just now when you hugged him.”“That’s not the reason at all, I least expected a hug from him, I have been wishing to meet him all my life.”“You just made me jealous.” Kyle added and I laughed saying, “You don’t have to be jealous, like I said I will always have time for my friends no matter what.”“Like you mean it,” Kyle added.“Okay guys, we need to go see Prof,” Lisa added.“I nearly forgot about it, let’s get our things and sign out as well before heading out.” They all agreed with me.We went to school and met with Prof as he
Chapter 35Layla’s POVI visited the mall the next day to carry out research again, I am not on duty as well but will be on duty by three o’clock and I am happy for the few hours I have to myself.So many things are affecting me emotionally so this is the best place for me to get the best of myself, not seeing Nate and Chloe either.I watched a video of a kidney transplant and plastic surgery as well, I took down some important details and all of a sudden my mind flashback to the very first day I saw Nate. I was about to get bullied by some senior students back then in school and he came to my rescue, “Thank you so much for saving me.”“You are welcome, I hate it when someone gets bullied, it is wrong, anyway, I think I know you, you are Mr Andrew's daughter right?”“Yes, I am.”“Wow, small world, my name is Nate and you must be...”“Layla, I mean my name is Layla.”“Nice to meet you Layla, I need to go now.” He smiled at me and for the first time, I found someone I had peace of mind
Chapter 36Layla’s POV“SHUT UP CHLOE! JUST SHUT THE HELL UP FOR GOOD BITCH!!!” I didn’t know the time I used the language bitch but I am glad I did because that’s what she is to me.“Layla, is everything okay? You just called me a bitch, can I know why?”“Just get lost, I am done here.” I took my things and left angrily, who the hell does she think she is anyway? Claiming to be the one that Nate loves the most to my face? I mean who does that, I really hate her now and I wish not to see her again, I almost got hit by a car and I stopped to catch my breath when I heard my name, “Miss Layla, is everything okay.”OMG, Doctor Michael is here, I need to carry a happy look, “OH good day doc.”“Good day, you looked like someone pissed some moments ago, I am lucky I could hold my brake when you entered the road without looking.”“I am so sorry, you can punish me for being so careless,” I really don’t want to get on his bad side right now.“I am not angry, you going to the hospital right? I w
Chapter 37Layla’s POV“I will never say sorry to her, never.” The door opened and it revealed Nurse Ella.I had to wipe off my tears so she won’t notice but I guess it’s impossible to hide my red eyes because I know whenever I tears, my eyes become red.“Was I interrupting anything?” she asked looking a bit confused and I get it, if I was in her shoes, I would have felt confused as well.“No, you didn’t, I forgot to carry out the errand doc asked me to and I was about to leave as well,” I said looking at Nate one more time and I saw no pity for me in his eyes except the pity he has for Chloe which I know deep down in my heart.“Layla I..”“I will go get the record doctor, Nurse Ella is here to see you so I will get going,” I said leaving at once and rushing to an empty office to cry out my eyes.I hate Nate so much, come to think of it, my tears don’t melt his heart at all but I guess whenever he sees her cry, he is ready to run extra miles to do everything just to make her happy and
Chapter 38 Layla’s POV “Have some faith girl, you will now be working with Doctor Michael from now on.” “WHAT??” “Are you not happy about the news? I thought you always wanted to be close to Doctor Michael, you should be happy that you finally got an opportunity.” She said and I noticed she was more focused on my expression. “Yes I am so happy, this is good news, I always wanted to work alongside him but is Doctor Nate cool with it?” I asked to be sure of everything. “He knows already and there is nothing he can do to stop it, I thought you will be screaming with joy that your wishes came true but your looks tell me otherwise.” “I am happy, is just that I am a little bit tired but trust me on this, I am so happy about the news.” I faked my smile. “Okay got to go, duty calls and I hope to be expecting a romance between you and Doctor Michael.” She smiled at me and took her leave. Why is everyone expecting me to be with Doctor Michael? Well, I am happy he is not that type of a g
Chapter 39Layla's POV“As long as the paper is not signed, you are still mine and no other man can lay his hands on you.” I don’t understand, why is he doing this. Doesn’t he wish to be with Chloe and be happy? Why is he so possessive all of a sudden? I wish I could read his mind.He looked deep into my eyes and I got lost for about a minute and when I got myself together I summoned the boldness to ask why, "Why are you doing this? Tell me? Why can't you just let me go so we can be happy.” I hate the fact that I am an emotional person and immediatel.y tears left my eyes.He held my jaw and stared deep this time around and he said to me in a possessive and romantic way at the same time,“Dear Wife,you are mine and I will not let you go.” He scoff.“What?”"You heard me and I don't ever want to hear you talk about divorce because I will not allow it " He replied letting go of my jaw.“Nate,I.." He didn't even let me finish when he said,"I need to rest Layla,I had a stressful day." he w
Chapter 40 Layla’s POV I sat on my bed thinking about everything, what if his sudden kindness is a repeat of everything again and I will end up being hurt all over again? I am just too emotional and I forget things easily mostly when I am close to him and my heart starts beating for him, In conclusion my love for him will always make me a fool at the end.I took my clothes off so I could hurry to have my bath, eat with Nate and then get to the hospital to face my duties for the day. I still have so many things to learn from Doctor Michael today. I stepped out from my room and saw Nate standing at the staircase, “I thought you would never step out of your room to have breakfast with me.”“hum….mmmm” I didn’t know what to say at this junction.“If you are still thinking about the divorce you talked about yesterday, just know it’s never happening, let’s go to the dining, breakfast is getting cold.” He finished his statement and walked directly to the direction of the dining room and I
Chapter 41 Layla’s POV Everything that just happened played like a movie to me,I had to pinch myself to make sure I was not imagining things. Like what has come over him? I wish I could meet a goddess that can read minds so I can know what he is thinking right now. Or should I visit a soothsayer? No, that will be a waste of time. I am so confused as hell, I don’t know my husband at all, is like I am working in circles over and over again, are men this complicated to understand? He asked me on a date, thank you heavens for being so kind, God has finally remembered me today, this is awesome and the sweetest part was when he kissed me and wink at me. There is still a problem anyway, his love for Chloe that’s why If I was in his shoes, I will let Chloe know I am married and I don’t want anything to hurt my wife at all, I will show her to the world and be proud of her as well but he is just the opposite but one thing is for sure, he is ashamed of me that’s why he can’t show me off to
