Nicklaus Baldwin
I was in my office trying to get my mind to focus, I can't get Ashley off my mind, for some reason I feel like she needs me, I don't know why but I keep on feeling off.
I canceled all the meetings I have today trying to focus on signing some documents and responding to emails, but none of that is working out.
''Damn!'' I groan pushing the laptop aside, at this point it's useless trying to get myself to concentrate and work.
I relaxed back on my CEO seat, massaging my forehead,
"Damn you kitten for making me this way" I was still massaging my forehead when the door burst open
"Who the fuck….!" I was cut short when I see Rex panting heavily
"What's wrong?" I ask for seating.
I watch as Rex rested his arms on my table looking me directly in the
"You won't believe this…"
"Damn you, Rex, speak up I'm going, crazy man…"
"On the television, you need to see it for yourself" He muttered gesturing at the television.
I eyed him before picking up the remote and flickering through the channel,
"No…no…no…. fuck!" I sprang up from my seat turning toward Rex
"How did this happen?" I growl burning in rage and fury
"I don't know man, but from the information that Carter gave it seems, Ashley was received by Marcus"
"Fucking piece of cunt"
"Listen, Nick, Ashley needs you now, she might not say it but she needs you. I don't think she can do this on her own"
"Why do you think Marcus did that?"
"Nick that guy looks desperate, I think he's obsessed with Ashley"
"He dare not eat my woman" I picked up my car keys and made to leave
"Nick where to"
"I need to see my kitten, she needs me"
"Alright, I need to do a background check on Marcus, we need to know his true identity, before we can hunt him down"
"Alright thanks, bro" I muttered giving him a brotherly side hug, before leaving
"I will send some of the guys to follow you behind!!!" He shouted after me.
I hurried out of the company using my personal elevator, I entered my car and ignited it back to life before driving out of the company in a hurry, I connected my phone to my earpod before placing it back to my ear,
"Hello…. Carter"
"Yes boss"
"A man by the name Marcus Madrid"
"Yes Boss, Rex already told me about him"
"You know what you do"
"Sure"
"Good" I muttered and hung up, disconnecting the earpod. I increased the speed of my car with only one person lingering on my mind "Ashley"
I drove into her company and heck! Reporters were filled up everywhere…
"Damn!, how could Ashley allow this to happen?" I ask myself touching my forehead in frustration
"Your kitten needs you right now more than anybody in the world" My conscience whispered to me and with that, I ran into the company, surprisingly everywhere was quiet, I expected it to be chaotic in here, but it's surprisingly quiet, and this left me with the thought, Ashley has really handled this company and all of Lucus asset with care, I won't allow Marcus to succeed
I rushed upstairs and made it to Ashley's office but she was not there, I was walking around searching for her when I started hearing voices, I walk towards the door and surprisingly I saw Ashley exchanging words with Marcus, I decided to listen to their conversation, and the mother fucker was busy spitting out rubbish giving my kitten damn! Conditions
I couldn't take it anymore when he ask my kitten to marry him, I felt a loud bang on my head, I walk out of my hideout and towards them, I gave Marcus a piece of my mind before taking Ashley's hand and walked out
I took the elevator and use the back door to avoid reporters, though she kept on struggling with me along the way but guess my hold was tighter, cause she couldn't pull off
"What's wrong with you?" She lashed at me immediately after we made it outside using the back door, I sighed holding onto the bridge of my nose trying to calm my nerves down
"Kitten, how could you make such a mistake how?" I ask,
"You don't have the right to question me, do you want to judge me too?!" She yelled in anger, I could see trails of tears struggling to come out, but she fought them by blinking them back
It hurts to see her break like this, she doesn't deserve it, heck! I feel like taking all her pains away, she deserves happiness and care
''It's all your fault…." She whimpered slowly, avoiding my gaze
"Kitten, how is this my fault?" I ask movie g closer to her
"I was drunk…. I couldn't take you off my mind, he did that to me because I was drunk and vulnerable" She finally break down let out all her tears, I couldn't take it anymore, I close the distance between us and engulfed her in a right and warm embrace
"It's fine kitten, I will make him pay for every single tear you shed today, I will make him pay I promise you" I gritted out, rubbing my hands on her back soothing her emotions, while she wrapped her hand tightly around mine
"I trusted him," She said in a cracked voice
"Heck kitten, this is business you shouldn't trust anybody"
"I gave him my power of attorney to hold"
"What!!" I scream pulling away from the hug
"How could you give someone such a confidential document"
"That's because I want to trust him!!" She screamed catching me off guard
"Fuck!" I ruffled my hair in anger looking at my stubborn kitten, she's messing with my head already
"Kitten you don't just trust anybody you see, trust is earned"
I watch as she laughed crazily pain visible in her smile, she turned towards me and said
"What about you Nicklaus, I trusted you, but what did I get…aren't you just like him?'' She glared daring me.
"Heck! Kitten, I'm nothing like him, only if you will give me time to explain"
"Hmmm…" She smiles
"Ohh….. explain how you jumped to another woman not days after dumping me, or explain how I lost my child because of you"
"Kitten!!!" I growl angrily
"Save you sympathy to yourself Nicklaus Baldwin, the last time I check you're just like Marcus and you will be the last person I'd ask for help"
"Ashley……."
"Good day.." She muttered and walked out, tears brimming my eyes but I fought them back, I turned to go when I saw Nelly
"Hi, when did you get here?"
"Go after her, she needs you right now"
"But…."
"Don't worry, Ashley still loves you, but right now she's feeling first and betrayed, you need to be by her side right now, you guys can sought out your differences later
"Thanks, Nelly"
"You're welcome" She smiled, I rushed after Ashley immediately.
