Nicholas smiled inwardly. Must she be so strong-headed? He threw his help at her and she insulted him by rejecting it, deciding she needs an equal dose of her own medicine.
Seeing her today in a simple blue dress, stirred something in him it has been a while he hardly saw her. He was busy at work, and she was too.
He could have given her one of his cars. But he wanted her with him close to him for reason he refused to comprehend, her sweet floral scent contaminated the air in the car,
Her hair was tied to a low bun, Some strands escaping, he sighted her lip coated in a transparent gloss, it made her lips more fuller, and luscious, his thought ran wild.
He willed his thought to stop, he would even try to think of such today.
His phone rang, it attracted her attention, only for the moment before an indifferent look crossed her face.
Elena.
Why was she calling?
He pressed the reject button, he told her he wants nothing to do with her again after he broke up with her. He has to give her a sound warning that would do, he hates when women are being clingy around him, after all, she got the fame and money, that was all she wanted.
Kelvin rolled into her Hospital grounds she did not want him to go any further.
"Can you stop here? I would like to get down." She requested, earning a look from the two men, Nicholas nodded to her request.
Kelvin stopped and she slid out of the car.
Rushed in her steps, she climbed up the little stairs leading to the entrance, she sighted George, he left who he was talking to and walked to her with a smile on his face, she waved at him.
Glancing at his watch, "You are late" he said.
"I know, my car broke down"
"How did you get here?" he asked worriedly.
"Erm...My driver drove me here," she lied.
He took hold of her hand, clasping it with his, a habit of his that she found uncomfortable, but he was just a friend nothing more and George liked to tease her to cause a reaction from her.
This was just one of them.
Something occurred to her, the hand he held was empty, her purse was supposed to be there.
"Oh my God!" she exclaimed, her purse held very important documents and she forgot them.
"What is wrong Gabriela?"
"I forgot my purse in his car," she said regrettably.
Nicholas noticed a dull-coloured purse, too plain, he pursed his lips thinking, reaching out to it, he observed it for a second.
Is this Gabriela's?
He zipped it open checking the contents in it,
A ball pen, lip gloss. He ransacked it further, a Samsung phone with a slightly cracked screen fell out but he caught it on time.
What else a few official papers.
"Kelvin, we need to go back to the hospital," he ordered a bit agitated he was already late for his meeting with the financial board.
"Okay sir"
Nicholas' car parked at the entrance of the hospital.
It was a very fast drive, eyes turned at the arrival of a sleek car, causing occasional stares from a passers-by, he lowered his car window looking for his dear wife, who was so forgetful, her blue dress came in view.
But what he saw next didn't settle well with him, her hand was clasped with another man.
Just the sight of it, had emotions stirring in him, he felt angered by the sight.
She was a cheat, a liar,he concluded.
Here she was with another man, and she pretended to be innocent, clean, morally upright, he would ruin that image here in front of everyone. He would create such a scandal, she won't go out in public in days.
He was so blinded with fury, at the thought of her being with another man, he would show her just how much Nicholas hated someone when he wants to and that man needs to know Gabriela was taken, she has a husband contracted or not they got married to each other, and public display of infidelity was not allowed
in the contract.
He thought so highly of her... Stupid.
After this he would issue an announcement to be made to announce her officially as his wife, he can't wait any further as his father planned, she won't ruin his image and name out there to the whole world.
Gabriela felt a tight grip on her arm, that alone and her attention, who had the intention of hurting her, the grip on her arm was so tight and painful, she hissed at the pain releasing her hand from George's hold, she faced a familiar face.
Nicholas, he stood in front of her holding her arm in forceful way.
She noticed her purse in his other hand, he came back to return it to her but still, that doesn't explain why he wanted to hurt her by holding her arm so tightly, "Nicholas, your grip on my arm is too tight. I appreciate you for bringing my purse to me, but you are hurting me."
She whispered, trying to reason with him.
His grip only became tighter, the look in his eyes alone was dangerous and unrecognizable. He looked mad, when he focused his gaze on her she could see the disgust in his eyes, mixed with anger, he slowly retracted his hand from her arm.
Her arm felt sore, she felt angered by his behaviour but this wasn't what she would discuss in the public.
Her purse hanged from his outstretched hand, she reached out to it collecting it from him, but as she was about to go he held her wrist and drew her to him, she landed hard on his chest.
Confusing her, "What are you doing?" She questioned, her tone angered by his weird behaviour, they were in the public, has he suddenly forgotten?
A glint of defiance crossed his face, he draws her even closer wiping out any space between them.
She was flummoxed by his actions now, they attracted people's attention, a baffled look on everyone's face.
"I am teaching you my dear wife a lesson about infidelity." He responded staring her straight in the eyes.
"What are..." Before she could complete her statement, Nicholas had his lips on her, kissing her, shocking everyone present.
Including her, he opened her lips assaulted them in every way possible after some seconds he stopped her lips sore and swollen, looking her straight in the eyes before leaving.
She can't believe he just kissed her, no one has ever kissed her, and he did breaching their agreement
and the contract.
