I Swear, Let Me Love You Again

Nathaniel’s POV:

I realized as I stared at Lydia that she was at the brink of crying as soon as she hung up the call and my heart clenched. I knew it had to be because she hadn’t apprehended the murderer. In a second, we made eye contact and my heart rate picked up for some odd reason.

“Sir, your order is up.” The barista announced and I smiled small collecting my cup of coffee. I paid and headed straight to Lydia’s table and she watched me intently all while like she knew something I didn’t.

Did she know I had the video? Did she think it was planned?

“May I join you?” I questioned pulling down my nose mask and she gestured for me to take a seat.

“Is there something I can help you with Nathaniel?” She asked with an attitude and rather than being intimidated or behaving she would hit me, I took a sip of my coffee and gathered my words.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Come with me to the station.”

I spoke sternly, putting on an emotional face when all I wanted to do was to ask how she is and playfully question her why she hadn’t replied to my text message.

“Excuse me?” She jerked her head forward, staring at me with disbelief. I wasn’t certain if I wanted to just show her the video then and there or just wait till we get to the station.

“Let’s go to the station, there has been a new development which I’m certain will please you. So let’s go.” I rose up bringing out my phone and sending the evidence to the investigator and forwarding the video to my assistant telling her to keep it, so that as soon as we get the go ahead from the investigators and police officers we will send it to the media.

“I don’t know what has gotten into you but don’t play with me like that. I just spoke to the investigators about an hour ago and there’s nothing. So scurry out of here before I cause a scene.” She spoke with annoyance and I rolled my eyes at her.

“So you think I will play over such a delicate matter? That’s how much you don’t trust me?” I questioned softly and she looked at me with a duhhh expression.

“Wow, I guess I have to carry you out of here to show you that you don’t need to stress anymore. The person who did this has been found.” Her face softened and she looked up from her phone searching my eyes for sincerity.

“Let’s go, I will send my driver to pick up your car or you can follow behind me.”

Seeing the mixed emotions on her face, the one that held hope, excitement, relief and most importantly fear. And it was then I knew for certain I had made the right decision.

Jenny will be apprehended and Lydia and I can start our lives healing from this drama. Just that thought excited me and my phone buzzed in my hands and I scrunched up my face seeing who the person was. Jenny.

Nathaniel, I know you have seen the video but please don’t report me. I only did everything for you, for our love. Please, don’t do anything that could jeopardize my future or our future together. If I find out you indeed have reported me, I’m gonna make your life and Lydia’s a living hell and ensure that you two never have a happy ending.

So make a decision and in the next few hours, we will tell but just make the right decision.

I love you always, in good or bad, betrayal or loyalty, healthy or toxic, but do the right thing.

I read it all in disbelief but I wasn’t moved, she was powerless and the police will get her before the end of the day. So I just read it and exit our message thread leading a stubborn Lydia out as she fussed on me touching her back and walking behind her. My cute wife.

Yes, I was going to make her my wife again and this time do right by her.

JENNY’S POV.

I was seated on the edge of my queen sized bed staring at the message I had just sent Nathaniel, I saw he had read it but didn’t reply which made my heart race. If he had indeed snitched then I had to pack my things and run away. I had already stolen a few accessories from Mrs King and my things were lying around but I needed a confirmation that Nathaniel had truly reported me or not.

I dialed the number of one of the investigators who was working on the case, Goodwick. I had offered him some money and promised good sex if he provided me with adequate information. I knew I wouldn’t be giving him sex but that made him excited.

“Hello? Why are you calling me? I thought I told you to wait for me to call.” He whispered and I sighed, rolling my eyes in a full circle.

“Well, you didn’t call, so what’s the latest improvement?” I spoke with an attitude and he remained silent for a minute.

“I don’t have good news.” My heart dropped at the sound of that.

“The video of you cutting the brakes has been sent, the Millers have been invited to come see the evidence at hand and as I speak the warrant for your arrest is being drawn…” He kept speaking but my mind was working overtime taking off my escape route.

“I advise you to give it up and refrain from running because the whole force is working on this and you would be found.” I instantly hung up and broke my phone to avoid being tracked.

Nathaniel had really reported me after everything? He and Lydia are going to pay.

But what if he has another plan to rescue me from this? Nathaniel loves me and I know he has something up his sleeves to protect me.

I need to run first then contact him later as he would do anything for me…yes…that’s what I would do.

I smiled brightly and packed my things thinking of where I would hide for a while.
