Thank you for reading. Please leave me a gem if you're enjoying the story and drop me your thoughts on the second story so far. :-)
“Well, then I’m not going anywhere. Sue me if you want.” Nikolai said as he laid back in the chair. “You’re a pain in the ass do you know that?” Jerald snarled. “A pain in the ass who’s about to make you go bankrupt if you don’t make wise decisions.” Nikolai shot back. As they were driving back to their hotel room from the hospital, Nikolai received a call from his manager to have an emergency meeting. Upon arrival, Joane asked Nikolai if it was okay for her to take a walk around the hotel while he met his manager. Nikolai was hesitant but he eventually agreed on the condition that Micheal keeps her company Incase of anything. Jerald had mentioned that the reason he called him over urgently was because a swap tour had been requested and they couldn’t say no, since Nikolai was in his final months before he retired from acting, he agreed to it on the condition that Joane tags along. “Look, you’re a superstar and the majority of the fans are women. If you take a woman with you on to
"Do you think she's going to be okay? How often do these attacks occur?" Kiana turned to Micheal. "This was the first one, Mrs Reed. But I think she will overcome it." He responded. After her attack, Nikolai had ordered the training to be postponed and that annoyed Jerald but he did it anyway. He was in the middle of the scene when he heard a scream, he didn't need to ask because Nikolai knew exactly who that voice belonged to. He didn't even think twice when he rushed outside and took her to his pent House where he called four doctors to check on her. "It's very normal for a patient suffering from amnesia, she must have seen something that triggered a memory and because her body is protecting her, it shut down." The doctors had said. "Will she be fine?" Nikolai asked worriedly. "Yes sir, she just needs rest. Very soon she will wake up." The doctors assured him but that did nothing to his unsettling nerves. Kiana and Arthur were on their way to surprise Joane after hearing what
"Mum?" Nikolai snapped. "That's a very rude thing to say to someone you just met." Marjory shrugged, "I only asked a question. Do you know her?" Nikolai was quiet. He was debating what to tell his mother so that she would back off but again he was in conflict because he didn't know if Joane would understand his intention. "She's my best friend. She has a project with Nikolai so, we came to support them both as we waited for you to visit Stella." Kiana stepped in. She stood in front of Joane who was on the verge of tears. 'A nanny? I have no problem with that kind of job but the way she said it was so degrading.' "I swear now that I look at her she looks familiar, " Marjory peeped behind Kiana who kept blocking her view. "Was it in a movie then?" She thought out loud. "You owe her an apology," Nikolai said to his mother. She wanted to argue but seeing his serious face, she knew he wasn't going to drop it, "You're right." She began, feeling like she was shredding off layers of her
"The ones around me are beautiful but the ones you make me feel remind me that I'm alive!" Joane whispered on Nikolai's lips. "Fuck, Joane! What are you doing to me?" He asked huskily as he claimed her lips once again. The kiss was intense, filled with every emotion each of them felt. They kissed like it was their last, their tongues fighting for dominance as they held onto each other. Joane felt the butterflies in her stomach like they bursted out of what was holding them. She pulled onto his shirt like the distance between them was too much. Nikolai pulled a few inches away from her lips, resting his forehead on hers while he spoke while trying to catch his breath, "This is so wrong." "Then make it count. Fuck me like there is no tomorrow." Joane whispered back against his lips. "Fuck! Woman, you'll be the death of me!" He groaned as he closed the gap once again. Nikolai grabbed Joane’s hands and held them above her head as he deepened the kiss. The fact that the guards mi
“I don’t think this was a good idea.” Joane looked at Nikolai as Micheal drove them to his family home. Nikolai reached over and placed a kiss on her knuckles, “Relax, I’m not taking you to a slaughterhouse.” “Your mother will definitely throw a fit. What will you tell her?” Joane asked as she placed her head on Nikolai’s shoulder. Nikolai's phone rang and he swiped right to answer. Joane watched as he listened without saying anything. It was only after a few minutes that he responded, "That's fine. You can proceed." Joane's heart was racing the entire time, her breaths coming in short, shallow gasps. A knot tightened in her stomach, and her hands trembled slightly. She felt a sense of impending doom, unable to shake off the feeling of dread that lingered in her mind. No matter how much Nikolai told her not to worry, she couldn’t help but feel the anxiety build. “I’m not sure yet. Let’s figure that out when we meet them. You won’t even see them anytime soon anyway.” Nikolai sai
“So, what did you tell her?” Arthur asked. Nikolai sighed heavily as he ran his hand through his thick blonde hair. “I told her Dad would tell her and I left.” He responded in a frustrated tone. “That’s pretty sick. I’m sorry man. I know how much you love your father.” Caspian jumped in. “I don’t know what to do with this mess guys. I’m shipwrecked.” Nikolai said in defeat. “A tough ass hole like you shipwrecked?” Caspian laughed. "When it comes to the women in my life, I'm hopeless." He sighed again. "Women? Is there another one apart from your mother?" Caspian asked. There was silence for a few minutes before Nikolai answered and said, "No." It was a week later since the incident in his father’s office and Nikolai refused to go home after that. He spent the rest of the week taking Joane shopping and renovating the penthouse according to her preferences with the help of Isabella. There was a knock on the door that made Nikolai look up and place his palm on the phone, “What
“Mum, what are you talking about?” Nikolai asked.Marjory stood from where she was sitting and moved closer, “You need to get married. It’s essential for you to secure the CEO position.” She half whispered.“What if I don’t want it?” Nikolai ran a frustrated hand in his hair,Marjory laughed like she had just heard a joke of the century, “Are you trying to kill me?” She moved backward and took a step behind, “Oh Lord! The child you gave me. He wants to throw away all I’ve worked hard for. Do you think I married your father because I loved him?”“Why did you marry him?” Nikolai asked softly, the previous events flashing in before him as he felt guilty for avoiding her the whole week. Marjory sighed, “It was to merge the two companies so that we wouldn’t lose the MacAdams Group. So many people were depending on that. So many families would have lost their jobs and slept hungry had I not made that sacrifice Nik. I hate to put this kind of pressure on you, but I have no choice. It’s eithe
Everyone’s jaw was on the floor as they watched the exchange between Nikolai and Joane. Nikolai was known as a player, but no one had ever seen him get physical or touch any woman in public before. The two ladies who had mistreated Joane exchanged a look of regret as they cleared their throats which suddenly felt extremely dry. Isabella who was equally shocked smiled as she came forward.“Nik, what are you doing here?” She smiled.“I came to check if Joane’s dress shopping is going fine. This is her first time here so I don’t want her getting uncomfortable or lonely.” He looked at Joane while saying all those things.Joane felt like her breath was caught in her chest as her stomach churned with different emotions as they exchanged looks. “Thanks, for coming,” Joane said as her face turned pink from the blush that was creeping up in her cheeks.“I guess we should get started then. Joane, have you seen any dress you like in the shop?” Isabella asked.“No, I need to look a little more,”
