Chapter 77
She felt her knees wobble so she sat down again.
Can Nick really do that to Blake?
"Girflfriend, I will just wait for you here. " She heard Eve say.
"E-Eve.. I don't want Nick and I to argue again. He is jealous of Blake. Let's just set another date to
meet. "
Her friend sighed before saying yes.
Nick frowned when he saw Stacey sitting on her chair but her mind seemed elsewhere. He felt guilty.
He had been harsh on her since last night. He thought that he had to really loosen up a bit. Many times
he had proven her honesty to him anyway.
"Honey?"he called her.
She looked at him and blinked twice. Nick saw something in her eyes. He was confused what it is
exactly. He was not sure if it was fear, uncertainty, disappointment or hope?
She lowered her face and pretended to be busy looking for something on the table. "How was the
meeting?" she asked tonelessly.
She didn't see him combed his hair with his hand. He couldn't bear this kind of treatment from her . She
sounded cold and uncaring.
He walked to her. He took her left hand and pulled her to him. He was drinking in her lovely face. He
traced the side of her face with his index finger.
"I'm sorry honey. I have been a brute but you know why don't you?" he asked gently.
She closed her eyes for a moment before moistening her lips. "I get really all tensed up when you are
angry honey." she said in a small voice.
Nick hugged her tightly.
"I really am so sorry honey. The last thing that I want is to make you afraid of me. I just can't bear the
thought of other men near you." he said in a cold tone.
She rested the side of her face on his chest. She really loves him. All of him. "I love you honey. " she
said.
He moved her a little to see her face. He cupped it then kissed her lightly on the lips. "I love you
honey." he said.
Her eyes widened." W-What?" she stuttered.
Gosh! Nick loves me? He loves me? She asked herself.
His lips broke into his signature sexy smile. "I said I..LOVE..YOU..honey." he repeated.
A wide smile lightened her face. Her inner Aphrodite was extremely pleased.
"You do?" Disbelief was evident in her question.
He nodded while grinning from ear to ear. "I do honey. Very much.." he whispered as his lips slowly
went down on hers.
A fountain of invisible sparks filled the room as their lips met. She touched his hands on either side of
her face. Then they heard a knock.
"Sorry mate! I knocked twice I swear!" Billy peeked from behind the door. He was beaming.
Nick raked his hand through his hair and in a displeased voice asked, " What is it now Billy?!" He pulled
her to his side. His arm snaked around her.
"Mate! Your mom said that you will have dinner later! Can I come? I miss her cooking!"
"No. Besides she won't do the cooking. The chef will take care of the food.." he said but with a trace of
humor in his voice.
With a look of disappointment, Billy entered the room and carelessly sat on the sofa. Nick chuckled
when she playfully pinched his arm. He deliberately said that to get back at his friend.
He kissed her cheek. "He can come next time." he whispered to her.
She nodded. " I will leave you two alone."
He frowned slightly. "Where are you going?"
She pouted. "I will print out something" she said.
"Cherry can do that for you."
"Dang mate! Let Stacey go. She's not leaving the building anyway. And besides I need to tell you
something." Billy butted in.
She smiled at him. "Thanks Billy."
Nick uttered a bad word. He promised himself that he would at least try to loosen up but he couldn't
change overnight.
He kissed her on the cheek. "Later we'll celebrate. Don't be too long." he said.
She just nodded then got her folder. She was glad that Cherry wasn't in the room. She probably looked
silly with the wide smile on her lips. She went straight to the restroom.
Once inside the cubicle, she covered her mouth then screamed in delight.
GOSH!! It's really true! He loves me! She said through her palm.
They would definitely celebrate later. She was sure about that. She happily went out of the toilet.

"So you see mate, be more careful because Stacey is a hellcat. Don't anger her! She put Tanya in her
place." Billy chuckled before leaving.
Nick sat on his chair looking very pleased. Satisfaction on his handsome face. Tanya told Billy what
Stacey did to her. His woman threatened his former bed-warmer with a steak knife if she won't stop
pursuing him. She was really his kind of woman. Like him, she had become territorial. His friend also
informed him that Tanya paid some men to slash the tires of Blake's big bike. She was probably
thinking that Blake would blame him and eventually tell Stacey. Tanya was desperate to break them up.
Nick frowned and shook his head. He wasn't interested to be with her or any other female. Tonight he
would show Stacey how important she was to him and how much he really loved her.

She was feeling nervous.
"You look great honey. My family will love you." Nick said before they entered the house. He kissed her
hand and flashed his sexy smile.
The house looked magnificent and again, she felt the big gap between them but he was right on one
thing though, his family adored her. She felt happy and relieved.
His parents were very good-looking like him. His brother who was also hot looking was with his
beautiful wife Vivien. They treated her very nicely and welcomed her sincerely.
"You and Nick are a gorgeous couple! ." Nick's sister-in-law said. She has a wide smile on her sweet
face.
"I have to agree with that. " Nick's mom said.
She smiled shyly. Then her eyes went back on the oceans of food on the table. She was wondering if it
would just go to waste. There was just too much for them.
As if reading her thoughts, Nick leaned towards her and whispered, " My mother lets the household
staff do whatever they want with the food. They usually bring everything home. “
She looked at him lovingly. Now she knew why he was so generous to his staff. He got it from his
family. His family was awesome like her man. She felt that contrary to what he said to her, she didn't
think that he could do bad things to other people if he grew up in this wonderful household. His parents
were good role models.
He touched her hand then kissed it . His brother cleared his throat.
"I hope this time Stacey is the one." he joked.
Nick chuckled. " You bet she is." he said.
"This is the first time that Nicholas introduced his girlfriend to us. " his mother commented.
"That's because she is my first and my last girlfriend. " came Nick's voice and everyone nodded their
heads.
"Well she is gorgeous. You chose well son! " his father said.
The conversation was very relaxed while they had their desserts. Nick was the doting boyfriend.
After coffee, the men proceeded to the study room to talk about business. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Stacey I like you for my son and I want you to see where he grew up. I will show you around the
house." his mother said.
The house was very spacious. It had a lot of rooms. Every corner screams wealth.
"And this is Nick's room." His mother announced after opening a door.
"Nick is an achiever. You will see all the proofs of his success." Vivien whispered to her.
It is a huge room. The walls are painted white and light blue. There was a big bed at the center.
"Come here Stacey, look at all these." Nick's mother walked to the glassed cabinet where many
medals, a lot of trophies and certificates are.
Her cheeks lost color with what she saw on the wall near the cabinet. There were framed diplomas and
certificates.
