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
Chapter 45Layla’s POV“Nate will never love you, Layla, Stop wasting your time on him, he loves just me,” Chloe said to my face laughing.“Layla, I am sorry, I tried to love you but it’s not working, My heart belongs to Chloe, we are getting married,” Nate said and then he hugged Chloe and kissed her in my presence grabbing her ass and hot tears left my eyes.I closed my eyes and opened them again and realised I was dreaming but where am I?I saw the drip inserted directly into my body and heard Daisy and Kyle's voice, “Doctor Michael little Princess is finally awake.” Kyle said holding my eyes.“Why didn’t you tell me you fell sick, You made us look bad you know but I am happy Doctor Michael was there.”“I am sorry guys, I didn’t know the cold would get me this sick,” I replied with a smile and I kept scanning the place hoping Nate would walk in.“Don’t tell me you are looking for your hero?” Daisy asked with a wink.“What do you mean hero?”“Should I tell her Kyle?” She asked looki
Chapter 46Layla’s POV“I promise to look after you Layla till you get better.” I didn’t know what to say to Doctor Michael, he is just too nice to me, is it because I am his fan? Or did he just choose to take care of me since I am working and learning from him?“Thank you so much, I am full now,” I said so he could stop feeding me because I was getting more embarrassed, What if someone walked in and saw him feeding me, They would think otherwise.“Okay, tell me what you need and I will get it for you.” He said looking at me as if his work is tied to make me get better at all costs but he doesn’t need to stress himself, he needs rest as well, look at his eyes.“I am okay Doctor Michael, won’t you get some rest? Do not worry about me, I will be able to look after myself.” I said with understanding to him but he looked like someone who was not ready to leave.“The good news is that I love keeping my word so I will be resting here tonight, so Look at me as your new friend and not as Doc
