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
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 53Layla’s POV“Let’s see a movie, I believe that should cheer you up a bit.” He said when I finally got a hold of myself...“I don’t want to trouble you again like I already did, I am sorry I cried in your presence.” I pleaded and he held my hands saying, “I don’t like it when you keep saying sorry to me, every breath you take you always end up saying sorry to me, I am not cool with it.”I didn’t know what to say to him but used the words again, “I am sorry, I mean, I..I…”“Get your things and wait for me in my car, I am taking you to see something before we go see the movie together.” He said and I nodded taking my leave.“Hey lover girl,” Daisy said, placing her hands on the wall close to me.“Can you not call me that?”“I saw the romantic scene you know, you hugged him and he caressed your back, I guess if this wasn’t a hospital or you two hugged that way in a room, I am certain chemistry would flow and then we both know what will happen immediately.” “I can’t believe you
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 55Layla’s POV*WEEKS LATER*Well, it was just like yesterday and I found more reasons to fix my marriage, though there are some lapses. what more can I do since he doesn’t wish to accept the divorce, I don’t want to cheat either because my father never cheated on my mother and I refused to walk in my mother’s footsteps as well, she left us for money, I hate her with passion and I hope I never cross path with her again, she hurt my father so deeply.“Layla, are you not hungry? Layla!!”“Layla!”“Oh yes, sorry I was thinking about something else,” I said to Kyle and Daisy, we actually came to the mall to carry out some research with our laptop and some needed materials as well, I actually forgot I was with them because I can’t stop thinking about Nate. He travelled that night after he brought me home and told me vial a note he left behind that he would be out of the country to carry out his duty and would be back soon and in the meantime, I should take good care of myself. I re
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
