Chapter 73: Michael


    I wrapped my hands around Nina and pulled her close to my body just as Mark pulled off the cathedral.


    I had sent John to drive Nina''s car while Mark drove us home.


    I had never been this excited in my life than I am now. I''m finally going to introduce her to my two


    naughty brothers who have refused toe to my wedding because they were not in support of me


    getting married to Deborah.


    I snickered as soon as I mentioned that name in my head, I will do anything to find her even though it


    means hiring a private investigator. I would do that cause I know it''s dangerous that Deborah is still out


    there.


    “ Are you okay?” Nina''s voice brought me out of my deep thought, I turned to gaze into her eyes while


    trying to soften my hardened look. The light from the street light illuminated her face and made it glow


    in the dimness of the car interior.


    I bend to peck her slowly on the lips, savoring the taste of her lips. Gosh! How I''ve missed them.


    Nina raised her eyebrows at me surprised after I had pulled away from her, she smiled gently before


    smirking at me“ What was that for?” She asked me.


    I smiled at her and bent down again to peck her but this time it was on the cheek“ I just couldn''t resist


    you” I replied shrugging. Nina watched me curiously like she couldn''t believe me but she let it slide


    without saying anything afterward…


    “So, what were you thinking about so seriously earlier?”Nina repeated her questions to me which I had


    forgotten in my distraction of her rosy kissable lips.


    “ I was just thinking about today,” I told her as she offered me an understanding smile. I shuddered


    from the thought that I nearly got married to Deborah, what would have happened if Lillian didn''t rescue


    me on time? And Mrs. Melton, who would have ever thought that she would defend Deborah like that, I


    always thought that they hated each other. I''m gonna take everything that they have from them, I''m so


    happy that I trusted my instinct and signed the prenup. Now, all the Melton''s properties are mine.


    “ Where are you taking me?” Nina asked me after some time breaking the silence which had fallen


    between us as we were both lost in our thoughts.


    “ It''s a surprise!” I called to her, Nina grunted under her breath but chose not to speak. I scoffed at her


    as Mark pulled into my Vi. He came over to open the door for me. I got out and turned to open the


    door for Nina, she smiled at me and turned to stare at my house with surprise written all over her face.


    I had relocated from that house ever since Deborah was there and moved into a more spacious house


    with a widendscape.


    “ Wow!! This is so beautiful and calm” Nina eximed in awe. Iughed loudly, I''ve missed the look of


    surprise on her face when she sees something she likes.


    Nina turned to re at me before marching off in the direction of the house. I couldn''t helpughing at


    her retreating back, she looks so cute when she''s angry.


    “ Baby, are you still annoyed with me?” I asked her in the elevator as we were standing side by side at


    the back while John stood in front of us at alert, he hade in after parking Nina''s car in the garage,


    she wouldn''t still talk to me.


    Nina ignored me and focused her attention on the tiny keys on the elevator like she was fascinated with


    them. I was getting frustrated as I didn''t know if she was annoyed at me for real or only joking.


    “ Please, baby” I apologize once again, pouting up at her. I turned to re at John who was trying badly


    to hide the smile on his face.


    “ I was only joking. Please, I won''t make fun of you again” I said to her but she still wouldn''t respond. I


    felt like punching John, how dare heugh, when I''m in pain? Isn''t he supposed to help me beg her?


    Nina marched off in the direction of my door as soon as the elevator dinged without waiting for John to


    do his security checks.


    I paused and was about to tell John to hire a private investigator for Deborah''s case when I heard


    Nina''s scream. I ran up the hallway into my room panicking.


    “ What is it? Are you alright?” I called frantically at her while searching around for what could have


    possibly made her scream. I froze as my eyes took in the disheveled state of my house. Emma was


    busy trying to bring it back to its normal state.


    “What''s going on here?” I asked Emma, with a cold stare. She knows how much I hate untidiness.


    Emma bowed cowardly in front of me, scared of the cold looks in my eyes“ I''m sorry sir, Victor, and


    Vino were searching for the ystation earlier, that''s why it is like this. I will get to it immediately”


    Emma apologized softly to me as she got back to what she was doing.


    Damn those boys! I can''t wait for them to get back to their respective houses. I''m getting tired of their


    tantrums“ But you should have____”


    “ Let it go, Michael, she said she will handle it” Nina cut me off just as I was to scold Emma. I let it go


    since it wasn''t her fault and I''ve promised myself to do everything for Nina.


    I nodded at her and reached out to hold her hands while guiding her to the second sitting room where


    my two brothers were busy ying Xbox on my television and arguing among themselves.


    “ Hey, big bro! Happy married life to you” Victor called to me as he threw a handful of popcorn into his


    mouth and munched on it loudly without looking at me. He turned to re at Vino who has cheated his


    way out of the bondage Victor has put his gaming character in.


    “ Are you really married for real? Gosh! I hate that bitch!” Vino asked me, swearing in between teeth


    without taking his eyes off the game. He and Victor were dragging the crown, I couldn''t help shaking


    my head at them.


    “ I''m not married. I would like to introduce someone to you” I called to them but whatever I said fell on


    deaf ears as they both grunted under their breaths without acknowledging what I said.


    I grew annoyed as I found my way around the dimly lit room to put on the switch and also switch off the


    television earning a growl from my two brothers.


    “ Has! What did you do that for? I was about winning the crown” Victor grunted at me shooting me a


    piercing re as his eyes took in Nina beside me.

    Vino smiled, I guess he was d that I had rescued him on time from the embarrassment of losing to


    Victor. He stares at Nina who has put her head down“ And you must be Nina Miller right?” Vino asked


    her,ing over to shake her hands. Nina nodded but still refused to look at him.


    I went to her rescue and introduced my two brothers to her“ Nina, meet my brothers, Victor and Vino.


    Everyone, this is Nina”


    “ Nice meeting you, Victor and Vino” Nina called out to them as she raised her head to offer them a


    smile.


    “ Wow! Seeing that she''s here and not Deborah, that means the wedding didn''t work out, right?” Vino


    continued curiously, his eyes taking in my calm attitude.


    I smiled at him and turned to escort Nina over to a couch beside my brothers. Knowing them, they will


    want to have the juicy details in full“ It was a narrow escape. Lillian came to my rescue” I told them


    while exining everything that has happened at the cathedral to them.


    “ Damn! Why wasn''t I there? I would have loved to see that look of defeat on her face” Victor said


    grunting in regret as he turned to re at Vino. I knew it was Vino''s idea not to attend the wedding as


    he has always hatedmitment. Sometimes, I always wonder if he would ever get married.


    “ Don''t look at me that way, I didn''t force you to stay, moreover it was your idea for us to y Xbox”


    Vino returned Victor''s re as they banter on and forth between them. Sometimes, they do behave like


    twins whereas they were both older and younger than each other.


    I turned to look at Nina who was surprised by their attitude“ Let''s go inside baby, they are always like


    this with each other. They can carry on like this still in the morning” I told her as she nodded and let me


    guide her up the stairs into my room.


    Nina stood gasping at the big portrait directly on my bedpost. I had forgotten that I have had the


    pictures from all her photo sessions made into frames for me. My room was decorated with pictures of


    the only woman I had ever loved.


    “ Do you like it?” I whisper in her ears as I turn to nibble her earlobes gently and give it a tiny bit. Nina


    shuddered in response as her breath quickened, I pulled her close to me and ran my hands down her


    body to her boobs.


    I have always envisioned this night in my head, a night where I can be with her after everything. I had


    always imagined making slow love to her all through the night but right now I wasn''t being any gentle.


    My hands searched frantic around for the zip on her dress and pulled it down to reveal the sexiest


    woman in the world for me.


    “ You''re so beautiful, amore” I called to her as she smiled at me. She stepped away from me and


    catwalk to the edge of the bed, she stood with her back to the window blind, letting the night light from


    the sky illuminate her lovely curves. She held my eyes and slowly work her hands down to the edge of


    her panties and made to pull them off slowly while gauging my response…


    I sucked in breath, I felt my dick hardening in response as he begged me to free it from the sp of my


    dark blue trousers. I rush to bid it, by taking off my trousers. I turned to unbutton my shirt hurriedly


    without taking my eyes off Nina who was already naked and running her hands down her body


    seducing me with her eyes and body…


    “ Like what you see?” She called huskily to me. I nodded and ran my tongue down my now dried lips, I


    could never remember when I was this turned on by the sight of her body. Nina made a signal to me


    with her finger, wanting me toe to her.


    I didn''t wait to be told twice as I took a long stride to her, I stepped out of my boxer briefs before taking


    her nipples into my mouth. Itched on them hungrily, while pulling her with me to the bed. I couldn''t


    wait to devour this woman.


    I pull away from her nipples as she throws back her head and moans gently conscious of my two


    naughty brothers downstairs. I wanted to make her scream, which was why I trail kisses down her belly


    button before finally burying my head down the center of her heat.


    Nina screamed out loud as she dug her fingers into my back. I couldn''t care less if she left a permanent


    mark on my body, all I wanted to do was to please her, and that I did with all of my beings…


    “ Gosh! Michael, you still haven''t lost your touch” Nina said, panting breathlessly after I had settled


    beside her on the bed. I had forced myself to be gentle with her but she was still as sexy to me as she


    was when we first met that I couldn''t control myself. I went all rough on her.


    Iugh heartily at herment “ Of course baby. How can I ever lose my touch when I just need to


    look at you and all of my control is out of the door” I told her as my eyes ran down her body taking in a


    few bruises on her skin. I clenched my fists annoyed with everything that she has gone through in the


    hands of Deborah and Austin…


    “ It''s okay Michael,” Nina said as she reached out to tilt my chin to her face away from the bruise that


    had grasped my attention “ This wasn''t your fault, it wasn''t anybody''s. This was the cross I needed to


    bear for loving you and I''m d I push through it without giving up”


    I was moved to tears by her words. Why did she think so? Why couldn''t I also bear the cross of our


    love? Why did it have to be only her?


    “ You did too. I mean, I know how painful it was seeing me every day but you couldn''t kiss me or have


    sex with me because you were pretending to love Deborah” Nina said like she was in my thoughts


    knowing exactly what I was thinking.


    “ I''m sorry Nina, I''m sorry for everything. I''m sorry that I couldn''t protect you from all of this, I''m sorry


    that I couldn''t fight for our love. I promise to be there for you from now on, I promise______”


    “ Shush!!” Nina told me as she put a finger to my lips to shut me off“ I know everything. I understand


    that you''ll keep your promises. For now can we just shower, cause I''m not letting you go that easily


    after a round”


    I smiled at her as I picked her up from the bed and walked to the adjoining bathroom to shower. I


    wasn''t going to let her go that easily too, I was going to keep her with me every day still forever.
