Lonely Bride

‘Do you have any guilt?’ My inner self asked, and I replied nope with a big P.

But again, whatever I did was out of my personality. It was a pure need because of my hormones, that’s all. But I was embarrassed because I had never done such things in my life.

I sat on my chair, ignoring the gaze, and looked at everyone who was eating their food.

I started taking my food off my plate, but from the corner of my eye, I noticed Sean put the girls down and walk towards his chair, which was sadly next to mine.

I was trying to get my salsa, which was a little out of my reach, but before I got up, Sean beat me and kept the bowl in front of me.

“Rose, since when did you start eating such food at the first meal of your day?” Natalia’s motherly nature spoke, and she finally looked at my plate in surprise.

“I..” Before I could speak, Sean beat me again. “She is becoming a fan of hotness nowadays.” He looked at me and smirked, and I knew what this bastard meant. “I mean, you know all the cravings, so this is her latest craving.” Spoke while taking a sip of his juice.

“Oh, then eat whatever you feel like,” Natalia said with a smile, and I nodded yes.

“Yeah, she is not the only one who eats. She makes sure I eat, too. Right, baby?” He spoke while I remained silent and just nodded with a small smile.

“By the way, last night, the dessert was yummy.” He again spoke, and I finally choked and started coughing.

Here, have some.” He gave me a glass of water, and I took a sip after giving him a death glare while he ignored me.

My vision went for a second to Sean, and I noticed he was looking at my neck unknowingly. I looked down at what he must be looking at, but I found nothing. Then I realized he must be looking at the love bite, which I had hidden in a layer of makeup.

He looks up, and I know what he must be thinking, so I just wink at him.

He smirks again, as I know he got it-that I have hidden that mark.

“Tonight, I will make you try some dessert. I am sure you’re going to love it.” He spoke in general for all, but I know what it could be.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I instantly looked down and started eating my food after nodding my head.

‘Nowadays, nodding is the only thing I do and feel.

We finished the food and, as usual, Sean went to his study while we all got busy with our chit-chat.

Author’s POV

Nathan was working in his office when someone barged in while his assistant was running behind.

“Sir, I asked him if you were busy, but he did not listen. His bodyguard just broke all the security and barged in.” Nathan’s assistant spoke apologetically.

“You may leave.” He spoke while looking at the person in front of him, who looked like a raging bull.

“Where is she?” He roared.

“You could have called. Do you know? Why all this drama?” Nathan spoke.

“Where is she?” He deadpanned.

“How many times do I have to tell you she is on her honeymoon, and I don’t have any other knowledge than this?” Nathan replied calmly while lying on his back in his chair.

“It’s been seven fucking months, Nathan. Who goes on such a long vacation, tell me?” He spoke while his hand ran his finger through his hair, and for Nathan, it’s a clear sign looking at the ruffled hair that it’s not the first time he is doing it.

He looked stressed and worried.

And somehow this made Nathan feel a little guilty, but again, what can he do when he does not know where she is?

He just knows she is fine. Wherever he wants to talk to her, he calls the one number given by Sean, but he has strictly told him not to give this number to anyone else. He knows what can occur, so he would rather not commit that stupidity in this life.

“When did you last speak to her?” He asked, narrowing his eyes.

“I don’t even remember,” I lied, without wasting a second.

“So, you are telling me about a brother who can’t even stay without talking to her, even on a day he has not talked to her for months?” He mocked.

“She is not alone anymore. She has a husband and a family. I cannot be nosy anymore. I want her to live her life peacefully.” Nathan spoke annoyingly, and getting up, he stood at the corner of his cabin and opened the balcony door a little. He took out a cigarette and lit it while taking a deep drag.

“I don’t trust that man.” He replied frustratingly. His voice was loud and clear.

“I don’t trust him either, Ivan,” Nathan said in his calm manner.

Ivan looked at him for some time, and he walked toward him and stood next to him. He also lit his cigarette, took one deep drag, and blew a bit of smoke out of his mouth.

“I don’t think she is fine, Nathan. I am just worried about her. I don’t know why?” Ivan spoke.

“If anything, I am not worried about, it is her safety. I know wherever she is, she is safe.” Nathan replied while still looking at something far away.

“I don’t believe till I see for myself,” Ivan replied in a calm tone, but Nathan knew he was anything but calm.

“You love her,” Nathan declared.

“More than anything.” Nathan looked at Ivan, and his eyes had pure love.

“Sean will never let her go. Ever.” Nathan made him realize the reality.

“I don’t care about Sean, but if she wants to be with me, then nothing in the world will stop me from having her.” Ivan declared his thoughts.

“Don’t dream, which will break your heart one day forever, my friend. You might not fix it back, trust me,” Nathan replied with a painful smile. Sarah’s love for Sean is nothing new.

Though Sarah says she hates Sean, Nathan knows she can’t; she just can’t, or else he would be swooned off by Ivan’s charm. Ivan’s feelings aren’t taboo for Sarah.

She knew this long ago. But she doesn’t want to lose a good friend; hence, she always waves off a joke.

“She will love me, if not today, then tomorrow. I will show her how much I love her. How important she is to me. The day she comes to me, there won’t be any way back for her.” Ivan replied with determination.

“That’s what I am saying. She will never come to you. But my brother trusts me.” Nathan was feeling bad for Ivan. He knows that one day his heart will break like never before.

He knows Sarah will never accept him the way he wants to be. But this stubborn man is not ready to understand anything.

Nathan can see he cares for her, but loving Sarah will be poisonous for him. But Nathan remained silent and let him live in his dream world.

It’s better sometimes to live in our dream world because at least we can stay happy there; it’s not like reality will ditch us at any moment.

“I just want to know she is safe. Wherever she is, she is safe.” Ivan spoke tiredly, and Nathan said “hmm” while still in his deep thoughts, looking far ahead.
