Chapter 37
“What?!” I bellowed. “What do you mean cancelled?”
“Do you expect us to continue the wedding without you? What’s more that you’re in the hands of a psycho.” Quinn exclaimed.
“Shit.” I palmed my head in guilt. “I’m so sorry. This is all my fault.”
“What? Why would it be your fault? You did nothing wrong, Kura. In fact, you saved us by risking your life with that freak. Tyler and I agreed to cancel the wedding because we won’t be happy if you’re not there present at the biggest event in both of our lives.”
“Quinn has been crazy worried for yo
“Nile, wait. Stop.” My hand automatically pressed against his chest to stop him from kissing me.His eyebrows furrowed. He was eyeing me in curiosity.“I’m- I’m tired. Can we… can we not do it now?” I said through pants.Nile only nodded in understanding. The Nile I know would’ve done it anyway but he knew I just got better and I made it as an excuse.He kissed my cheek, lingering it for more than a few seconds before hugging me tightly in his arms. He closed his eyes and buried his head in between my shoulder and neck inhaling my scent right away.I stilled. “You’re going to sleep h
“I can’t stay here.”“Rose, don’t say that. Whatever’s going on, you gotta suck it up. It’s either you stay there or wave your ass around so Jacob could see you.”“The problem is that I am not welcome here. Courtesy of his mother.” He started to reason out for me but I cut him off. “I am not trying to be dramatic here or anything. His mom literally warned me to stay away from his son. I can’t stay here, Colton. Please. Just help me, okay. We’ll plan something on the way.”He sighs. “Fine. You’re the boss. Just send me the address, alright.”I exhaled in relief. “Thank you, Colton. You’re th
“Colton, watch out!” He automatically swerved the car away from the other. We both panted in fear and relief when he managed to evade the car safely.“What the fuck, Colton! Holy shit!” I smack his arm with extreme force. I was fucking scared for a second. I thought I’m gonna die again.“Hey, that hurts.” He whined like a boy.“This car is fucking new, Colton, and you almost cause us an accident. You are a terrible driver!”“What?” He laughs. “Hey, I was trying to cherish the moment you’re trying to make me feel. You shouldn’t be acting like that while I’m driving. I can’t focus.”
“Are you crazy?!” I screamed at Nile.Shaking off my state of shock, I rushed towards Nixon who was now wiping off the blood from his mouth. I wasn’t able to go to him when Nile pulled me back towards him.“I was trying to keep an eye on you but hell, I can’t watch from afar knowing you’re with this man! Why the fuck are you with him?!” His veins popped out as he screamed at me. Nile Veselov is fucking furious. I think I might be starting to get scared of him now.“W-we just talked.” Holy hell. I stuttered. “A-and what the hell are you doing? Let go of me.” I tried to pull myself away from him but he didn’t budge. His grip only tightened even more.
I was full of excitement when we reached the resort. I can already feel the essence of relaxation and vacation. Everyone was here as well. Everyone means no Nile Veselov.“I can’t believe you talked us into not informing Nile. He’s going to lose his mind once he finds out that you’re not in his estate… or in the city.” Belle quipped while watching me in amusement. Her husband joined her side watching me with an amused smile. Quinn and Tyler checked the room they reserved for us. Colton was having a call a few meters from us, probably having an update on his cafe.“My vacation will be ruined if he’s here with us obviously to watch me like a damn predator. He’s going to eat me alive with all his possessiveness.” I spoke with sass. The couple laughed at my antics

I forgot I was still in my bikini. I grabbed the sheets and covered it over my body.Jacob shook his head. “Tsk tsk tsk. Don’t. You look beautiful.” He then stared at me intensely, giving my skin goosebumps. “And you are mine.”“How did you get here?!” I got out of the bed and stood far away from him, the sheets stil
“I’m sorry.” I sobbed.Nile held me tighter. “Why are you sorry? You’ve done nothing wrong, Kura.” His voice was soft lulling me to safety and security.“Because I should’ve told you the truth. I should’ve told you what I felt.” I slowly removed myself from his embrace and faced him. His eyes were solemn and studying me. “I’m sorry, Nile.” I sniffed. “I’m sorry because you felt rejected. I…” I clenched my fists, gripping the sheets tightly.“I’m sorry because I said things that hurt you. Every time we kissed… I just remembered him. I remembered what I did.” Nile clenched his jaw. His burning fury was showing again.
The dinner went on for a long time. The conversation and laughter lasted for a few hours. After that, they decided to either go for a walk or retire early. Since I had enough sleep, I wanted to go for a walk and probably explore the beach.Nile was taking up calls as I waited for him at the shore. I felt Colton’s presence approaching me from behind.“You okay?” I immediately felt panicked at his question and wondered if he knew. He stood beside me with hands inside the pocket of his pants. He then continued speaking. “Rose… I’m sorry if you think I betrayed you. I told him because I was worried. He’s the only one who could actually help. I hope you understand that my intention is only for your own good.”I pouted as I slowly turned to him. “Thank you… for always taking care of me. And I really really really appreciate it, Colton.” With the bottom of my heart. If it weren’t fo
