Billionaire ex
Whereas Lucas and Nathalie had been working on their relationship, and the man trying to mend her crack with her on father too…. another storm had been approaching both of them.
The summer was about to end and perhaps with the arrival of the autumn some old memories had been uprooting again, on the airport a man clad in black jeans and shirt had just landed. And his arrival was no less than the emergence of the devil himself.
‘Finally, I’m here!’
Mr Diego, the potential groom for the Lancaster heiress had just arrived to marry his bride. YES! Nathalie’s father had promised her to that young billionaire, but as Diego had a notorious and questionable reputation she refused. (He was in the flashback chapter, teehee!)
‘I’m eager to meet you, my love. I heard that you married someone to attain the shares.’
Of course, he had sources to fill hi in with the current situation. Although he just knew about Nathalie getting married, but somehow could not find anything on her husband.
‘And of course I really wish to see whom you have chosen to marry, after rejecting the fact that you were my betroth.’
A smirk appeared on his face as the man smiled bitterly, and shoved his hands into the pocket of his jeans. While a jury of butlers behind him took the luggage, that the news had travelled faster than fire.
He had deliberately made such appearance in the public to stir a storm in the media, who had been waiting outside the airport for him to answer and satiate their curiosities.
Diego crept out of the airport and the swarm of reporters surrounded him, everything had been happening just as he had wanted.
“Mr Diego, we have heard that Miss Nathalie Lancaster had married. Are you here to confront her?”
The female reporter unleashed her question at him, while Diego replied with a smile and moved further.
‘Hoho, I’m not going to feed you anything before talking to my love, I have to know why she ditched me.’
It seemed he wasn’t a bad person at all, but perhaps it was too soon to judge since his bride had dumped him without a warning.
A luxurious vehicle had been waiting for him outside the airport, and he settled himself with a meaningful grin. Diego pushed his glasses up from his nose tip and rattled out some USB from the pocket of his jeans, while he rolled his cuffs till the elbows.
‘Let’s see how much you will appreciate my gift, dear Nathalie Lancaster.’
A wide smirk enhanced his features as the man put it back inside, and threw his head back on the seat. While his driver took the mysterious man towards the Diego villa.
It seemed that Diego was there for a stay and perhaps not going back any soon, since the man had instructed the servants to clean up the villa. The storm had been silently brewing but Nathalie grew aware of its silence already.
But hereby I ask you, what will Lucas do when he came to know about this? Or was he already aware of this mess? But what about her past? There were many questions one had to dig in for, since all seemed t be connected to one person_ Diego!
-.-.-.-.-.-
Meanwhile in the Lancaster villa Nathalie had locked herself in the room, the lady grew worried over the new situation which did not seem to be in he favor since Diego could not be trusted easily.
“Why all of a sudden he is here?”
She at on the bed unaware of everything outside.
At that moment her only focus was Lucas and Diego, she had to chose one. The lady had made up her mind about what and whom she had wanted.
“Someone must have called him here. He knw I rejected his proposal and as far as I know him, Diego is not the kind of person who would chase a woman.”
Nathalie had known about him and of course she was also aware that, he was definitely not the kind of man who would chase a woman who rejected him!
But perhaps that could be a stimulus to the whole game, could it be?
“But if he has been called here, then the matter or the bribe must have been great. He would not have considered the deal let alone come all the way here, if the bribe is not something… which will go in his favor!”
No wonder grandpa Lancaster thought that she was the perfect candidate for the the position of the CEO, Nathalie had earned the spot by her sharp mindedness and witty personality.
“Either I have to tell the truth to Lucas, or to stop Diego from intervention in anything related to me.”
Nathalie imminently knew that she had to be careful about the business and specially Lucas.
The lady raked through her unkempt hair and laid back in the bed, since it was Sunday and the day off from the office. She wanted to spend it with him to mend their relationship and to take it to the next level, when her secretary informed about Diego’s arrival.
The whole romantic mood was ruined no doubt, and she did not even get any chance to talk to him properly in two days that grandpa summoned Lucas early morning that day.
“Wait, why grandpa sent for him?
Nathalie shot up from the bed in her white T shirt and yellow shorts, when the thought crossed her mind and fear crept within the lady.
“Don’t tell me he is going to tell Lucas about Diego!? No, no… what if grandpa asked Lucas to leave me, just because Diego is rich and powerful… while Lucas is…. nevermind!”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
In that particular moment she realized that she knew nothing about the man, who popped up in her life out where and became her husband.
“No, no, grandpa won’t do any such thing, right? He like Lucas and he know that I married him myself.”
Nathalie rushed out of the room feeling the need that she had to check on their meet up. Although once again her own words showed her the mirror, about how she had been treating Lucas ever since they got married.
And the thought made her realize that she let her vulnerable husband get bullied by her bitchy family. But now she wanted to fix the things, including their relationship.
