Chapter 98Layla’s POV“Are you seeing someone else?” He asked looking so sad, damn it, what do I do.“What do you mean by that Andrew? Are you calling me a cheat now? Just because I told you I am not in the mood for sex?” I yelled at him.“I am sorry Layla, I know I might be feeling insecure but I just felt something is wrong.”“There is nothing wrong, you are just assuming things I can’t do to you, I care for you is that not enough, you making me so angry right now, I need some air.”“Layla, I said I am sorry, I am not above mistakes and I also have feelings, blood flows through my veins so don’t be upset, it will sadden my heart, please.” He begged me, and held my hands in the process and I hate the fact he is just too sweet and kind, why can’t he be angry at me and yell at me? Even if I am the one at fault he never gets angry, he still says sorry, I am sick of all this.“Let go of me, I hate you for being so perfect.” I didn’t know when I said these words to him, “I will be sleepi
Chapter 99Nate’s POVI finished telling Andrew what I planned to do and he screamed, “What? Are you insane? Like have you lost your mind already?”“I guess I have,” I replied with a smile.“You are crazy, I must say.” He said with all seriousness and I took my seat thinking about it.“I admit what I am doing is crazy but I love Layla, I need to fight for love.”“And you think is the best way to fight for love? Well, I wish you luck, I know I always tell you the truth but at the same time, I can never let you be sad, I know for years now you got eyes for just Layla and it will be difficult to let her go but I got just one question for you.”“Bring it on, I will answer as long the question is something I can respond to.”“If the trip to Paris fails and she goes back to Andrew, will you give up on Layla and face a new life without her?”I stood up and took a walk thinking about the whole thing, there was no way I could imagine a life without Layla, if I failed, I would die single, and
Chapter 100Nate’s POVI returned to my room and turned on the TV but I was more focused on my phone, I got a different number just because of Layla since she blocked my main line.“Hi Layla, I am sorry for everything, can we start afresh as friends, I promise I will not ruin things.” I waited for her response but she didn’t even reply to the message, she read it and went offline.I guess I have so much to do but I feel so tired right now, I need to get some rest and about to do that I saw Chloe call,why is she calling now? I can’t speak to her on the phone, it’s best I ignore her because no one can tell what she is up to, I need to learn from the mistakes from the beginning, those mistakes made me lose Layla and now I am trying to get her into my life again, I can’t afford to make another.I slept off immedatly and dreamt about Layla and I living happily together.*The following morning, I got ready for day one steps in getting Layla into my life again, I stepped out to eat breakfas
Chapter 101Layla’s POVI woke up the next morning and found out I was being cuddled by Nate, oh no, what have I done? Why am I naked in Nate’s room?He was very much at sleep and I sneaked out of his room and rushed to mine. I turned off the flight mood immediately and booked my flight to Canada. I need to leave, I can’t take the risk to see Nate again.My phone rang immediately and it was from Andrew, oh sweet Lord, what have I done, I cheated on Andrew.“Hi Andrew,” I said acting all strange.“Layla, are you fine? I have been trying to reach you all night, did something bad happen to you last night?” He asked being so worried.“I am fine, nothing bad happened, I just took a few strolls and my battery died as well, I just powered it up this morning,” I said and tears left my eyes for lying to a perfect loving man.“Okay, it’s good to know you are okay, I will be going to work and I missed you like crazy.”“Same here.”“Got to go.” He ended the call.I rushed out of the hotel and he
Chapter 102Nate’s POVI woke up the next morning feeling so happy about the magical moment I had with Layla. I opened my eyes with a smile on my face and noticed the bed was empty, Layla was not here and the sun was out, gosh I woke up so late, I hate getting drunk.I sat down for a few minutes thinking about last night, the kisses, the way we romance in the pool and how she moaned softly to my hearings. I wish Layla was still my wife, I wish Chloe never came in between us.My mom called immediately to check on me and she told me there might be a high chance of my father waking up very soon and he has been responding with his hands and legs to everything he is been told. I am so happy about the news and I really can’t wait for my dad to finally wake up from his vegetable state and we settle our father-and-son relationship.I managed to get myself to the bathroom to wash up and stepped out to get something for the hangover and I got two, I didn’t want to call or text Layla, I should g
Chapter 103Nate’s POVThe pleasure is all mine.” I replied.“Do you mind if I buy you a meal, I know you have so many questions for me and I know one of them is why I came here to see you.”I guess Layla’s mom is reading my mind.“You guess right, but please let me buy you a meal instead,” I said and she nodded.We drove to a nearby restaurant and the meal was served then she asked a question, “Why did you two divorce?”I coughed, how on earth would I tell Layla’s mom that I asked for the divorce even though her daughter had been the one requesting for it?“We misunderstood ourselves,” I said.“I see, but do you still love my daughter?”“I love Layla so much and I am willing to do anything just to be with her.”“She is lucky just as I was but I ruined things, I came to see you because I know you still have access to my daughter, I want to meet her and make things right again, can you do that for me?” She asked and I nodded.“Thank you so much.”“If I may ask ma’am, why now?”“I reall
Chapter 104Layla’s POVI entered the taxi heading to the hotel but I just couldn’t stop crying, “Driver, please stop the car.” I said to him and the taxi driver obeyed immediately.“Is everything okay ma’am?” He asked and I nodded,” Yes, I changed my mind, I won’t be going to the hotel anymore.” I said and I came down from the car and paid him his money. I had no idea where I was going but I just decided to walk and cry out my eyes.Why would Nate do such a thing? Bringing my mother to meet me without my permission? I hate him for doing this, yes she is my biological mom but after she left, I considered her dead to me.Andrew's call came in and I confided in him,” You sound so unhappy, are you okay? Talk me to Layla, I am worried.”“I saw my mom today.”“Oh no, do you want me to book the next flight to meet you, I really don’t know why she has to show up after everything she has done.”“I will be fine, you don’t need to come, just that seeing her today, I remembered everything again,
Chapter 105Nate’s POVI messaged Wilson, “Where are you?”“Just about to leave work.”“Meet me at our usual bar, drinks on me.” I said to him and he replied with so many emojis and then added a text, “Seems someone is excited, tell me did you win a lottery?”“I won something bigger than the lottery, I will be expecting you.” I kept my phone aside and faced the mirror in my room and hummed a song while dancing. Layla is going to let me in, I can feel it, the time is now and I am certain by now, she is already making peace with her mother and I am certain her mom will put in good words on my behalf as well. I just can’t wait for the message tomorrow of her asking us to meet again.I walked to the bathroom and turned on the shower still humming the song and dancing to it in the bathroom. I took my time in getting dressed, I had never been this happy for a long time now, the missing piece to my happiness was actually Layla and now I found her, I will never let her go, never.I drove out
