"Mr Rickelle." I say.
"Richard? What does he have to do with this ?" Nathan asks suddenly on my side.
Charlotte and Elizabeth now both look alarmed.
"The day before my birthday, he called me for a meeting. He said he needed a designer." I begin. Trying to get the clocks working.
"Yes?" Nathan is beginning to be impatient.
"He asked me to marry him." I tell them.
They all gasp and stare at me. But Nathan laughs . He thinks I'm lying.
"He told me I'm not good enough to be with you, that I should be with him." I continue.
"Okay but how is Ethan involved in that?" He asks.
"I told him I cant marry him because I have a child. He thinks removing Ethan as an obstacle get him chances to marry me." I tell him.
He nods, then he pulls me by the arm.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"To get our son." He says.
"Punch him in the face for me." Charlotte chimes.
Then mumbles some things which earn scolding from her sister.
We sit in the black Porsche. He traps himself in and turns to strap me against all my protests.
"Okay, so why am I coming with you?" I ask.
"Because you're the only one who knows where he lives." He says.
"You dont?" I ask confused.
"Its not like I visit him for tea parties Gemima." He snaps, then I see that for the first time, Nathan is fuming.
I enter the location into the GPS and he drives to the destination. Hands around the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turn white, I'm afraid that the skin might snap from the pressure.
We come to a halt.
He let's me out of the car and he gets out and begins charging for the front door.
"Nate listen to me. You cant barge into their home." I try to calm him.
He knocks loud like an officer.
Soraya answers the door.
"Oh Gemma, you didnt tell me you were coming. Or that you were bringing handsome guests." Soraya says jokingly but when she notices our sour expressions her eyes lace with concern.
"Where is Richard?" Nathan asks.
She opens the door fully. And let's us into the beautiful home.
She politely invites us to sit on the couches but Nathan is adamant to see Richard.
"Call your damn husband." He grits.
Soraya scurries away. I would be lying if I said that his anger isnt scaring me right now. How do I trust that he wont hurt me the way Jeremy did?
Mr Rickelle walks downstairs and his eyes land on me.
"I knew youd come back for me, the offer was too good huh?" He snarls.
Then his eyes widen when he sees Nathan.
"Oh, I see you've reported me to your little bodyguard." He says.
"So it's true Richard. You asked her to marry you? " Nathan asks.
Soraya gasps, her eyes tear up as she stares at me, she must feel betrayed.
