365 Days To Love-Chapter 190 - ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY:Fate.

Morning came earlier than expected,which was as a result of the family going to bed late at night.

Nathan had excused himself, after failed efforts to get both Ethan and Zaiden to argue about baseless facts that didn’t even make sense, or was going to help him in any way in whatever he was planning.

His father didn’t come back home yesterday night,and both mother and son were on edge because of his inability to ring them on the phone or drop any message to them as to where he was.

But Nathan’s suspicions about his mother acting strangely couldn’t let him get a wink of sleep last night,nor was it the fact that he was restless.

At this point of time,he was confused with what exactly is going on in the family, because everything was disorganized.

Well, that was in his own point of view.

To his detriment,today was such a busy day that one could have actually thought that the wedding ceremony was to be held today.

The paparazzi and the reporters were doing quite a good job at crowding the front of the house, while waiting for any latest gossip to spill to the ever so desperate citizens that couldn’t mind their business.

His knuckles tighten at the thought of his plans going wrong tomorrow,and he gets to not have Hazel as he earlier expected.

Eric is doing a good job at training Lucy to be up to his standard of what he expects from her,he couldn’t risk anyone finding any slightest fault to suspect that something is Wrong.

The question still lies unanswered,is Lucy ready or is she still scared of doing as he says.

She wasn’t stupid, and so was he too,he could still see the fear in her eyes that she’s going to end up disgracing herself and putting him in trouble.

But she knew better than to play with him,not when her brother’s life was at stake,just like he ended that stupid reporter’s life and put the blame on his wife.

He wouldn’t hesitate to do so to her and her brother who is nothing but the scapegoat.

His thoughts were cut short by the angelic figure who graced where he was,he could never get enough of her scent.

Even though he’s tried as much as possible to stop thinking about her,due to the aspect of his mom being against him liking her.

But this was the first woman to ever make him feel this way,and right now he’s going to do what his heart and mind urges him to do.

Only a night together with her would make everything okay with him,only her would sate this hunger in him that is messing up his life,and he would have her,to hell with what Zaiden does afterwards!

"I don’t think it’s good to be smoking quite early in the morning"Hazel spoke up, when she saw that he’s still not himself yet.

She had walked in on him in the garden,after having breakfast served in bed with Zaiden who was against the idea of her leaving the room,had it been she hadn’t adamantly refused to listen to him.

She needed to have a conversation with Ethan,which she was surprised to see Nathan here rather than him.

She wasn’t scared of Nathan,nope!

That was the least of anything she even felt towards him,the only thing she feels towards him is nothing but pity.

She doesn’t really interfere in people’s business,but since she was going to be part of the family tomorrow,she didn’t mind what she was about to do.

Besides,all she noticed about him was the fact that amidst him acting tough,he was nothing but a hurt fellow who needs attention and all the love required to keep a human being going.

But that’s the problem with him,you can never know what’s up with him and what goes through his mind aside from those creepy stares of his,that always seem to scare her at the beginning,but not anymore.

Surprisingly,she found herself curious to know if he had a girlfriend,well,it’s not going to be any surprise if he doesn’t have one.

What sort of woman would date such a proud and egotistical fellow,who always seeks to create problems wherever he goes?

She noticed the way his shoulders flexed at her voice,but she doesn’t think she was the reason for that.

Rather,his clenched fist that caught her attention made it known to him that he was battling with something, but all that was cleared before she could ask if he was okay.

He turned to face her,with his cigarette hanging loosely at his lips,with a smug look of his that dared her to take the cigarettes off his lips herself.

He smiled when he saw that she wasn’t going to do as he expected,so he took it off without realizing that this was the very first time he was obeying orders coming from her.

"I don’t think Miss Cinderella would care enough about my health,that’s quite interesting to know ’’He teased,and pinched his nose reflexively before putting his hands in his pockets to look at her.

She doesn’t know what dangers she was building for herself, by being in such a close distance with the devil himself.

He stared at her lips,and wondered how exactly it would feel to get a kiss from her this morning.

It was just the two of them here,and there’s no one who would find out what he did,well that’s if she doesn’t freak out and draws others attention.

Patience Nathan, patience is a virtue.

He reminded himself,and tried calming his raging hormones before he ended up spoiling his plans himself.

It’s just tomorrow.

Tomorrow would end all of this.

But what he didn’t expect or see coming his way,was her closing into his space to take her hands into his.

What the...

"Aren’t you tired of fighting? A united family doesn’t fight one another,stop being such a brute,silly"She advised, pinching his cheeks with a giggle escaping her lips.

That was it!

He’s done being patient!

Before she could understand the depths of her actions ,and tried to keep everything casual,it was too late because he retracted his hand from hers, encircled it on her waist before pushing her to his chest.

Hazel’s eyes widened in amazement over what just happened,she was still shocked to understand what was happening, because this was not what she planned for.

Well,what was she thinking being that close to Nathan,who she could recall was everything,but a rapist which she doesn’t know until now.

"What you do to me!’’He said through gritted teeth,a painful gasp escaped her lips when his hold tightened more on her waist when she tried wriggling out of his hold.

She’s his sister in-law,and was this not temptation playing a fast one on her with Nathan who she knew was always a pervert.

What is he doing?

"Let go of Me"She cried,and pushed at his chest,but she’s no match for his strength,rather,he came forward to kiss her but the unseen strength and courage that pulsed through her veins at that moment made her slap the living daylight out of him.

She was shocked at what she just did. Here,she thought she was going somewhere to fix whatever it is he had with his family members,rather,she had ended up in a much more complicated situation with him.

He releases her immediately with his hand on her right cheek that was hurting like hell. Was she a boxer in her past life because her hits are always strong?

"I think that’s a good way to reset your brain Nathan,my sister’s off limits to you "Ethan spoke from the back,making both of them turn to him abruptly.

Hazel was relieved when she saw that it was only him, because if Zaiden was here, all hell would break loose, because she’s sure Nathan would be buried alive for what he just tried to do after pretending all along.

She was still trying to take in what just happened, because he had made it known to him these past few months that he has no feelings towards her,which built a little friendship between them.

But right now,she wasn’t sure anymore about him, Nathan Knights is a snake that bites when one’s guard is low.

What if he pushed further with what he was doing to her?

Doesn’t he have a sense of dignity left in him?

What’s with men trying to use her?It’s not as if she’s anything special, but someone who’s dying at every passing seconds of the day.

So,why are they killing themselves for her?

"I..."She tried explaining to Ethan,and also tried pleading with him not to tell this to Zaiden,this was certainly going to ruin the peace today.

But he swiftly ignored her and launched at Ethan,but he pushed him off and walked away without apologizing to Hazel.

"Why didn’t you tell me about this? He’s insane you know that"Ethan asked, grabbing her at her shoulder to inspect if he hurt her.

"I’m fineee"She drawled, watching the way he carefully checked for any injuries from the way he held her, she hadn’t felt more happy than she is right now.

Her brother was standing right infront of her,this was something which she never expected to happen anytime soon.

"Does Zaiden know about this?"Ethan asked, because there’s absolutely no way he would know about this and Nathan would still be walking and not crawling.

"Please don’t tell him about this. ’’Hazel begged,but he wanted to decline her request if not for the voices coming upstairs and Tyson’s presence.

He was breathing heavily, which showed that he was literally searching everywhere for them,but Ethan was far too concerned because the voices were getting louder.

"Tyson,what the hell is happening up there?"He asked, facing him as he approached both siblings.

"There’s a problem,boss"Tyson said, looking at Hazel who was eager to hear what the hell is happening.

If he ever believed in fate,that would be right now, because there’s nothing that is going to explain what the hell is happening aside from this.

"The family invited some visitors over for lunch"

"And how is that any of my problem?"Ethan asked, impatiently.

"Because your father was invited"Tyson said,and watched as his hands tightened at his words.

He is seriously going to freak out,with the little miss by his side too.

But the sound of something crashing from upstairs grabbed their attention,Hazel jerked at the sound and held onto Ethan’s hand.

Her father was upstairs,yet,she doesn’t feel happy at the news, not at all.

"Something is wrong,"Ethan said, looking into Tyson’s eyes to find something weird."What the hell is going up there?!"He demanded furiously.

"Your dad is having an argument with a woman"

"A woman?"Hazel asked,this time.

To which Tyson looked at her,to reveal what he just witnessed before looking for the both of them.

"Yes,your mother, Isabella Brown".
