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
Chapter 47Layla’s POV“Yes, she is going, I know my friend is dying to leave here so it’s a date.” Amanda jumped in and agreed when I was about to say no.“Thank you and I will go and get ready now.” Doctor Michael said before leaving and I faked my smile as well and waited till he was out of sight and then I faced my friend who was smiling like she was the one being asked to go on a ride with him.“What is your problem?”“My problem is that I want to make you enjoy your youthful life instead of wasting it on a guy who doesn’t notice your love and hard work.” She replied and took her seat.“Hope it’s not what I am thinking here?” I questioned without taking my eyes off her.“And what are you thinking?” she answered with a question.“Are you trying to match make me with Doctor Michael? If yes, it won’t work at all, I can’t be flirting outside my marriage and I don’t want to hurt Nate.”“Layla, if you mention his name again, I will forget that you are my friend for a second and land a
Chapter 48Layla’s POV“He is not good for you.”“And who are you to make such a decision?” I tried to brace myself a bit even if I was hurting inside.“I am still your husband and I own you, don’t get ahead of yourself.”“Nate, why are you acting all perfect when literally you are worse, you are so good at making me feel..” I noticed I was talking to myself, Nate left me all alone to cry out my anger to the wall. He is coldhearted.Does he think he can get away with this? Tears left my eyes and I wiped them off and matched angrily to his office, I saw him standing at the front of his office together with Michael and the other surgeons, It seemed they were about to have a meeting, it would be improper to disturb the meeting so I just left.I entered the office and saw Kyle and Daisy in a weird position and immediately they saw me, they adjusted.“What is going on between you two?”“Nothing at all, where have you been? Nurse Ella came looking for you.” Daisy said to me and I am sure s
Chapter 49Layla’s POV I must say Michael’s mom is so nice and fun to be with. Michael finally interrupted saying, “Sorry Mom, I will need to show Layla a few things I promised her.”“Okay son, you are so lucky, She is not just beautiful but she has a good heart, she even got me a birthday present as well.”“That’s Layla for you.”“Okay you two enjoy the party, I need to join my friends now.” She said and gave me a wink before leaving.“I am sorry, my mom was just over-excited seeing me with a lady and she thinks we are dating.”“You don’t need to say sorry, your mum is fun to be with anyway, nice party.”“I am glad you are having so much fun here.”“So, what were you planning to show me?” I asked looking a bit nervous.“Oh that, I just made it up so I can take you from Mom, I thought you might be getting uncomfortable.” He said and I laughed out loud without being able to control myself.“Are you seriously laughing, wow, such a beautiful sight.”“I am sorry, I haven’t laughed this w
Chapter 50Layla’s POV“Layla! Layla! Are you crying?”“Layla!!” She tapped me on my shoulder and I looked at her, “Are you okay? Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong?”“No, you didn’t, I am just feeling sad,” I said wiping off the tears.“You can talk to me, what happened? Is it about what I just said?”“I am sorry Nurse Ella, can you cover up for me, I need to be at a place now.”“Okay no problem but let me know if you wish to share anything with me, I am a good listener and I am also good at giving advice as well.”“Thank you so much, Nurse Ella, I will always come to you when I need one but I need to go now.” I rushed to the office to get my things and saw Daisy at the entrance when I was about to exit the place.“Where are you off to?”“Nowhere, I mean somewhere,” I replied not even knowing what I was saying because I was a little disturbed about Nate, he was all alone in the house and what if something bad happened to him? He needs me now and it is my duty as his wife t
CHAPTER 51Layla’s POVI left him and walked angrily to the car, I hate everything, I should just have remained at the hospital, probably having lunch with Doctor Michael and having a stroll with Daisy then I would have returned home happy and not having such a fight with Nate, he is not reasonable at all, he doesn't care.He walked to the car and didn’t say a word to me at all and he thinks he is good at this, I will show him I am better at this than he thinks. He turned on the music in the car and zoomed off, I hated the fact the radio played a love song and talked about love as well, it was really weird I must say, I just can’t wait to get home and get out of his car, stay in my room all night and forget about today.We got home and I tried to step out of the car but he locked it, “Nate please open the door, I am done with our argument.”“Layla, are you in love with him?”Oh my goodness, is he supposed to be asking this now? Why is he so interested in Michael?“And who cares if I a
