Chapter 33

Finally! Last chapter before Epilogue!

Chapter 33

Nik approached me slowly making sure Maxwell kept his distance. He shot Natalie a look and his eyes narrowed.

"Natalie," he whispered incredulously.

"Hey Nom," she smiled sweetly and they shared a tender look.

"Once I finish with my wife me and you need to have a long chat," he all but growled out possessively before grabbing my arm.

Finish with my wife? That male reproductive bit! "What are you doing here?" I asked coldly.

Nik noticed my change in behaviour and turned to look at me, "Quinn-" he started his yellow eyes trying not to look too over guarded.

"I can't deal with this, you're supposed to be dead," I pointed to Natalie, "You're supposed to be somewhere in Tahiti sipping martini's as you forget about your kids," I said towards Max who flinched, "You're supposed to be in Washington killing people," I nudge Nik away from me but being him, he latched onto me, I turn to the closed door making sure to raise my voice, "And you're supposed to be a History teacher who doesn't know his wife cheats on him with school students!"

Two seconds later I heard Mr Alias Temple laugh, "And you're supposed to be a depressed teenage girl who doesn't know the guys around her are secretly lusting on her," I didn't even know I started walking towards the door until Nik yanked me back.

"Sweetheart, what the hell?" he grumbled trying to hug me close.

I push him back, "No, I'm sick of drama. I'm sick of being dragged into a life I never wanted to be in, I just wanted you and our family. But no, I learnt that you are an assassin who had been lying to me for a whole year Nik! A year! I find out my biological father is a dimwit who didn't fight for his family by telling me we had to give up on ours...and as for Natalie, she was too weak to see that family was more important than judgment, and by doing so she broke her family...and do you know what I hate? Is the fact she isn't dead. My brother is dead and I went through a mourning process, you pretended to be dead so you could impress Nik, well I'm done, I'm going back to New Zealand and I don't want any of you to help, especially if I need help up the elevator-" I turn to see Nik growling at me but I ignored him, I want to do this, I need to, "I love you Nik, I always will but I want the Always Silent guy I fell in love with, I know this is the real you but before the real you, you didn't have problems hanging of you, I get it, my safety...but I want you to be with us and somehow you've worked around it by," I pause, remembering, "Marrying me. Now I just don't care because I am sick of drama." I make my way towards the door without looking back at Nik who had relented in letting me go. I couldn't bear to look at his handsome face knowing it had been months since I had last seen him my body is more than eager to get reacquainted with him.

Mr Temple is waiting outside the door, "Can you take me to the airport and act like my teacher until I leave the terminal?" he nodded and grabbed my arm.

I heard things being smashed from the room I had been in, then the door suddenly came crashing down and Nik stalked towards me with a guarded expression.

"Quinn please just let us go together, you know I'll follow after you just..." he pleaded.

"Nik I want you to follow me," his expression morphed into shock, "It's just Max just told me that he had fallen head over heels for my mom but then he fell out of it and me, his child was the only thing tying him down. I don't want you to do the same I want us to stay in love...and by doing that I think we need a fresh start, we need to fall in love on honest circumstances, and given that the twins are arriving in two more months I have until then to fall in love with you,"
