*****Nikita POV*****A week later, I feel less nauseous but angry and frustrated. I still don’t know what and whose child I am carrying and I refuse to acknowledge it’s presence in my tummy. I walk into the lounge to find Becca and Colt chatting. Becca stands up and rushes to the kitchen the moment she sees me and returns with a bowl. “Fruit salad?”I glare at her. Becca and I have not been in good terms lately. She just won’t quit trying to talk me into keeping a sneaky bastard’s child. “It’s yummy and nutritious.”“I know. Good for the fucken’ baby.” I complete her sentence. “Strong language! Babies can hear,” she rebukes me. She’s been acting like my mother lately and it’s just infuriating. Colt moves between us and looks worried at me. He’s been doing a lot of this lately too. “How are you feeling?”“I am angry, no, I am furious. I had just one chance to conceive and some asshole took that choice away from me.”“We will find him, okay?”I sigh and take a seat on the couch. B
*****Nikita POV*****~Three years later~My chubby bundle of chaos runs into the study giggling with Becca running behind him. I can’t help but smile as I get off my chair and pick him up. His sticky fingers wrap around my neck and a wet kiss lands on my cheeks. This is heaven. “What are you doing to aunt Becca?”He giggles more, an infectious sound that has completely changed my whole world. I can’t believe I ever wanted him dead. Just the thought of it sends chills down my spine and leaves me with the guilt I can’t wash off. “Nick don’t want dress.”I laugh. It’s like this every morning. My son gets chased around the house by everyone and he loves every moment of it. “And why is that, Cuteness?”He shakes his head and pouts his tiny mouth. “Don’t want to.”“You might not look like her but you inherited your mother’s stubbornness,” Becca says, amused. I stick my tongue at her. Nick looks nothing like me. The only Davi physical appearance he has is my father’s eyes. That’s why I na
*****Leo POV*****I put on my dark shades and lean against my car while waiting for Owen to land. I am assuming that the approaching aircraft is his because very few planes use this Kali private airport. I can’t wait for this mission to be over. It’s taken three years of traveling the whole world and a lot of money for me to get to this point. Victory is almost mine, I can feel it. Tomorrow I get to go back home and finally face my volatile drop-dead gorgeous impossible queen. Saying I miss her is an understatement. Her estate will be my first stop, I don’t care if she spits fire or even shots me. I am snapped out of my thoughts by two figures approaching me. I swear Owen has a hearing problem. I give him a dead stare even before he gets to greet. “What’s Lucas doing here? What the fuck is wrong with you?”“Hi, Leo. Nice to see you again after, let me see…..oh yeh…. two and a half years. How are you? We missed you,” Owen babbles while Lucas looks sheepishly at me. I shake my head b
*****Nikita POV*****The picnic with Becca, Owen, Zanine and my cutie pie is exactly what I needed to clear my head and get some perspective on my future. We all can’t stop laughing at Zanine, who is desperately trying to get Nick to give her a big hug like he does to Colt and Becca. “Come here you munchkin. Aunty Zan will even feature you on the cover of her magazine,” Zanine desperately pleads while Nick giggles and runs away. This is all a game to him. “You do know that he is barely three years old right?”I am really amused by Zanine trying to bribe my son like this. “Well, it’s a sexy men alive and he is a…”“A boy, toddler to be exact.” I interject before her imagination get better of her. “Fine, no cover but this is all your fault. I am very good with kids you know?”She actually blames me. Unbelievable!“How is him running away from you my fault?”“He got the vibes from you when you were pregnant.”she accuses and I am dumbfounded.“What?”“You did not like me before I met
*****Nikita POV*****I am still glaring at Leo who does not look the least deterred by it and pulls me even closer to him instead. My heart is already racing, he has no right holding me like this after what he said to me the last time we spoke. I want to kick his balls really hard but I have no idea what’s really going on here. I play along and let him plant a kiss on my lips just to go along with the fiancée bull. I am glad Becca and Colt are not here to witness this because I would never hear the end of it. Leo looks intensely at me before doing the introductions. “Babe, meet my new friend, the incredible and powerful king of Kali, Franco Green.”Franco bursts out in laughter, delighted. “King of Kali? I will take it my friend,” he beams. I roll my eyes in my head. Leo really knows how to puff this asshole up. “Next to him is the amazing and also powerful, Dion Young.”I curse in my head. Dion is the general of the Kali military. He is apparently the dumbest man to ever occupy
*****Leo POV*****Everything happened so fast. One moment I am hearing Niki’s voice and running to the front, the next, Franco and his wife are excitedly planning our wedding. It’s all really twisted how they can just decide to marry us off but I would be lying if I say I don’t like the idea of her being mine, forever. “You are enjoying this, aren’t you?” Owen asks, not impressed. “I can’t say I don’t.” I confess and Lucas laughs. He finds all this amusing, including Niki’s temper. “You do know that it’s wrong, right?”Owen continues. “Who died and made you a voice of reason?”“Leo, Niki is not the type you can just force into marriage like this. It will backfire really bad.”“I am not forcing her into anything. I am also being forced into this but I choose to look at the bright side.”“Right.”“What’s that supposed to mean?” I ask sharply. His sarcasm is getting on my nerves. “This is too convenient for you. It’s as if you planned it,” Owen continues pissing me off. I can’t bel
***** Leo POV*****I get to the corridor a few minutes after Niki. Hunter is already kneeling next to one of the Davi man, who is lifeless with a gunshot on his head. Franco is standing a few metres away swinging his gun around his finger. “Why did you shoot him?” Niki shouts, charging towards Franco. Pure madness is charging unarmed towards an armed psychopath in his territory but this is very typical Niki. “Watch your tone, woman. Your fiancé might be my friend but I won’t tolerate being disrespected.”Niki clenches her fists and curves her lips and I know that trouble is guaranteed. My volatile princess is mad and I know too well that she does not back down when she’s mad.“Why the fu..”I catch up to her and cover her lips with mine, swallowing her angry words that would definitely get all of us killed. She struggles but I use all my energy to hold her tight before carrying her away. She wiggles and kicks all the way to her guest bedroom where I kick the door open, walk in and k
*****Nikita POV*****Things have become complicated and really confusing to me. One moment I am fuming and irritated with Vicky who keeps coming to ask me about stupid wedding stuff, the next I am livid and charging towards her psycho husband who has killed one of my men, then Leo happens. The way he said he missed me and the look on his face before he kissed me left my head spinning. It’s like Palmland all over again. My body just yearns for my fake fiancé. Two hours later, I am ready for the fake I do and Hunter is looking teary at me. “Seriously old man, get over it already.”Hunter laughs through his tears. He is acting like this wedding is legit. “You look so beautiful. Your father would be so proud.”I roll my eyes at him. I must admit that the dress is perfect and comfortable, way better than the one I chose for myself when I was about to wed Ethan. I was secretly wowed when the designer came to help me dress. Unlike the wasteful ones, I get to keep this one because it transf
