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
Chapter 42Layla’s POVI lied to them saying, “It’s a family date and nothing more, if you don’t mind, Doctor Michael is requesting for me now.”“But no one came here to say that Doc Michael is requesting for you or are you having the date with him?” Daisy questioned, she reads meaning to things quickly.“No, that’s not what I mean, see you guys soon.” I left and stood at a spot for a few minutes to get myself together, That was a bit close but I am glad they didn’t find out. It’s just a matter of time before things hits right, Everyone will know I am married to Doctor Nate and they will stop saying he is perfect with Chloe but more fit with me.I replied to his text letting him know I would not forget about it then I got shocked when he messaged again, “How is your day so far?”“My day is great, I attended to so many patients and you, Are you done with the surgery?”“Not yet but will soon enter the theater in the next hour.”“Okay, good luck to you.” He sent a smiling emoji and I di
Chapter 43Layla’s POVI left work immediately after I finished for the day and headed home to prepare for the date with Nate. I really don’t know if I should overdress or just appear neutral at the restaurant. I opened the closet checking the dresses Amanda shopped for me and I got confused about what to pick and wear.I finally picked three dresses, dropped them on the bed and took a glance at each of them, “White or blue..” “Blue or white..” I said pointing fingers and I settled for the blue dress.I had to freshen up again, apply lotion on my smooth skin and put on my innerwear before wearing the blue dress. The blue dress turned out to be perfect as it revealed my body shape.I walked to the dressing mirror and had my seat facing the mirror bringing out some cosmetics and applying them on, Finally, I used the pink lipstick on my lips and styled my hair as well. I looked at the mirror one more time and let out a smile saying, “Hi Nate, I am happy we both came to see Melissa agai
Chapter 44Layla’s POVI took a taxi and headed directly to Amanda’s place, I just don’t see myself going home at all.I knocked at her door and she opened the door saying, “Sweet lord, Layla, what happened to you, you look like a mess.”“I know, you don’t have to remind me,” I added.“Why are you here all alone? And why are you soaked as well? Where is Nate, is he here with you?”“No, I came alone and Nate abandoned me at the restaurant. I don’t mean to disturb your rest but can I spend a night here?”“You don’t need to ask, you are always welcome here my friend.” She opened the door for me to come in and gave me some clothes to put on so I could change my wet clothes.I sat close to her dressing mirror and she plugged in the hair dryer to dry my hair and we started talking.“Why would he do such a thing? But let me not conclude yet till we hear from him, maybe the emergency he left to attend to might be between life and death that he forgot to take his phone.” Amanda reasoned with m
