“I asked a question, and I expect an answer.” Eddy added, after Noah and Natasha refused to give him an answer. “It’s no one.” She answered and picked up her bag. “I’ll be in my room, Noah.” She said to him. She walked to the door and wanted to walk past Eddy, when he suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him. “Let us talk, right now.” He whispered in gritted teeth. “I don’t want…” “Don’t you dare tell me that sh*t. Go to my room right now. I don’t want Emma to see us fighting.” He cut her short and shot her a deadly look. Natasha gulped and yanked her hand off his. She flipped her hair and began to walk to Eddy’s room. Eddy looked at Noah and they stared at each other for a few minutes before he finally walked away without saying a word. He got to his room and locked the door behind him. “What were you thinking, hun?! Are you crazy?! Telling my brother you’re in a relationship knowing fully well he can’t know about the contract!” Eddy smacked. “I never told him
Eddy’s Rolls Royce car pulled up in front of the red carpet. Natasha gulped hard out of nervousness because it was her first time going to a red carpet, with someone well known. Eddy’s driver alighted and rushed to the back to open the car door. Eddy looked at Natasha who seemed to have zoomed out in thoughts. He stretched his hand to her and she looked at him. “It will be over in the next few hours.” He said to her, and she gulped. She bounced her head and gave him her hand. They locked their gazes after their hands touched. Eddy looked away and carefully moved out of the car. Natasha kept her hands in Eddy’s, and he helped her out of the car too. “Careful.” He said to her as she lifted her red Portia and Scarlet dress from getting under her heels. Natasha looked at him in awe, and she caught him smiling warmly at her. ‘Why can’t he be this kind all the time?’ Natasha smiled back at him, and instantly, there was rain of camera flashes on them. Eddy gave her his arm and she too
The ticking, clicking and clacking of the computer keyboards filled the air in the office Natasha Jones sat in. She looked elegant in her white tank top, blue palazzo pants and blue blazer. She parked her golden brown hair in a rough ponytail, exposing her glitter earrings. She wore her Tom Ford reading glasses and kept her head on the desk. She felt so tired and wanted to sleep for just a few minutes. But how could she do this? She had a lot of paperwork and cross checking to get done. She tiredly lifted her head from her desk and looked at the screen of her computer. She picked up her cup of coffee and took a sip. All of a sudden, she heard a loud bang from her right side. She flinched and looked to her right. She saw the manager storming towards her, and she felt her heart stop when she noticed he was fuming. “Natasha Jones!” He yelled, and she sprang to her feet. “Mr. Manager!” “I need you in my office now! This time, I don’t think I can help you, Mrs Jones.” Natasha gulpe
~After four Weeks~“Natasha! Natasha!” Natasha’s baby sister, Emma, called out to her from the front of her door. Natasha heaved a loud sigh and yanked the duvet off her face. She stared at the ceiling and answered… “Emma, can you please stop the habit of screaming my name every morning? I have an alarm that can wake me up.” “But the alarm takes time to ring! Mum is calling you! Wake up!” Emma yelled and began to knock on the door. “I’m coming, okay? Stop hitting the door.” “Okay! I’m going now!”Natasha heard Emma run off, and she heaved another sigh and sat up weakly. She brushed her hair backward with her hand because it got in her face. Since she left Leo’s house and got to her parent’s house, all she did everyday was sleep, eat, and sleep again. She didn’t even bother checking her social handle. She just wanted to be alone. She always locked the door to her room because she knew Emma would always want to come in, and she didn’t want that. She was dealing with depression.
“Grrr! Grrr!! Grrr! Grrr!!!” Natasha’s phone rang so loud that it cut across the room and filled the air. She shook her head and instantly snapped out of her sleep. She sat up and reached for her phone which was next to her. She looked at the caller and realized he was Mr. Manager. “Mr. Manager? Oh my… what could be the problem this time?” She answered the phone and anxiously placed it on her ear.“Mr. Manager?” She called. “Mrs. Jones. Good morning, and how are you today?” “I planned to wake up on the right side of my bed today, but unfortunately, I’m on this call with you. Please, Mr, Manager, tell me everything's alright.”“Everything isn’t alright, Mrs. Jones. You know this very well. After serious account balancing and checking, it was found out that the payment of $12 million to one of our clients was made twice because you failed to record it when it was first paid. Now, you have to repay the $12 million.” “Oh God…” Natasha yanked the duvet off her body in frustration an
“Natasha, are you back?” Olivia asked from the kitchen when she heard the front door open and close. “Yes, I am back.” Natasha resolved wearily. Olivia dropped the stainless pan in her hand and hurried to the living room to hear what Natasha came back with from the company. “So how was the meeting?” She asked fearfully, when she saw Natasha's sad face as she slammed into the sofa. “He said he wouldn’t press charges…” “Really? That is amazing! That’s good news! We’d talk to your father about it. He’d get you the money, and everything will be fine.” Olivia cut her short happily. “Not only that, mother! There’s a condition.” “Condition? Oh God… what condition?” “He wants us to get married.” She mumbled. “What?! Married? What does marriage have to do with all these? He is crazy?” Olivia sat next to Natasha on the sofa, Natasha moved closer to her and rested her head on Olivia’s shoulder. “That’s what he wants, Mom.” “You aren’t granting him his crazy wishes, okay? You got di
“So Eddy Gracias would be coming here today? Have you even thought about this?” Olivia asked as she sat in Natasha’s room. “What can I do, Mom? I can’t go to jail. If he wants to get married to me, Fine. I am no weak woman. He shouldn’t expect me to act like a housewife or something. I am not ready to fall in love. And I bet he is also doing this for a reason apart from love.” “I told your father about it, and he decided to stay home today.” “Really?” She hurriedly sat up. “Doesn’t he have work today?” “He does, but he wants to meet him too. He’s been so busy lately that I had to tell him myself. Most times when he comes back from work, you’re always fast asleep.” Natasha sighed and brushed her rough hair backwards. “Please don’t tell me he wants to talk to Eddy about this. I don’t think that would work.” “Well, at least we’d give it a try! Don’t you think? We can’t just give you up to another man. What would people say?” “I don’t care what people would say, mom. They would sa

I really want to see who has captured our son’s stony heart.” Mr. Gracias answered loudly, so that Natasha’s parents could hear. “So this is really happening?” Mr Miller asked in a whisper from his wife. Since he stepped into the living room, he had worn a frown on his face, though Eddy’s parents didn’t seem to care. “Yes. Can you at least smile? Natasha said she got this.” Olivia answered. “Mom, Dad. My fiancée will be here soon.” Eddy responded with a fake smile. He sat next to his parents and looked at Mr. Miller, Natasha’s father. “I don’t think we have met, have we?” Mr. Miller asked with a straight face. “No, we haven’t. Good day, sir. I am Eddy Gracias, I believe you have known this before.” He answered with a chuckle and began to act nervous. “I don’t think I ha
