Married To Mr. Devil

CHAPTER 19

James's pov:

I threw my head back and sighed. This paper works really getting on my nerves. I should be going out and enjoying drinks with my friends but no, that old man always keeping his eyes on me. These past few weeks I have been working my ass off so that my father will get off of my back but he didn't. Guess he didn't trust me yet.

It's also been nearly 3 weeks since I saw Nick. The last time I saw him was when I had that conversation with him that morning. After that day we never crossed path with each other and I know he kinda avoiding me but I can't blame him. Heck, I also don't know what I should say if I saw him again so you can tell I'm also trying to avoid him. But, I heard his last exam was today so he will probably stay home from tomorrow. Don't ask me how I know that, my father is the one who told me that and asked me to bring Nick home for dinner someday this week.

I snorted at that. Like hell I'd do that. I looked at the clock and it says 8 in the evening. I decided to leave since I have a very important meeting tomorrow with our new customers and I have to get enough rest. If I messed up in this my old man will chew my head off.

I packed all my things and left the office. I thought about joining my friends for a few drinks but decided against it. I'd probably ended up wasted if I go there and miss the meeting.

When I reached the home it was empty as usual. I directly went to my bedroom and changed my clothes. After that, I went through the files that I needed for the meeting and once I finished I neatly arranged them in my locker.

I looked at the time and it was half past ten so I decided to go to sleep before setting my alarm. I was about to fall asleep when I heard some footsteps on the stairs. I know it's probably Nick but my curiosity gets better of me and I had this strange urge to see him.

I walked out of my room and saw Nick just as he about to enter into his bedroom. He looked back at me and we just stared at each other a frown in my face. he looks kinda weird.

"Hey, are you ok?" I dared to ask.

He just stared at me back void of any emotions. I thought he's never going to reply but...

"I'm Okay" he said and with that he closed his door.

I sighed and went back to my room. What's wrong with me?

I should probably get some sleep it's already late. With that in my mind I drifted off to sleep.

~Next day Morning

"shit shit shit...." I frantically searched for the documents I needed for today in my bag. Damn it. I thing I left it in the house. What should I do now? The meeting is less than 30 minutes and everyone will be here in few minutes. What should I do?

I picked up my phone and called Liam. After two rings he picked up.

"Hey dude, what's up?" he asked.

"Hey Liam, I need a favor from you. I forgot some important documents for today's meeting and I left it at my room. Can you go and fetch it for me please?" I asked. I know he's on his way to the company right now so he'll get here in right time with the documents.

"Ok, fine." He said and cut the call.

I sighed and called Sara to make sure everything okay for the meeting.

Ten minutes after Sarah came to my room.

"James, did you go through the document that I gave it to you? I need to get a sign from your father before the meeting." She said and I nod.

"Yeah, I did but I forgot it in my house so I sent Liam to get it for me. he'll be...." I said but stopped when I realized something.

"God... I'm such a moron"

"What is it James?" she asked.

"The documents were in my locker which can only open by my fingerprint. I'll go and get it as soon as possible and try to hold the meeting for few minutes ok?" I said while picking my car keys from my table.

"But..." she started but I already left my office. I started my car and drove towards my house.

I drove as fast as possible. How could I forget such a important thing? I guess I was so nervous about the meeting.

After about 10 minutes I reached the house and saw Liam car parked outside. I opened the door and was about to go to my room but I stopped by the scene in front of me in the living room.

Nick is lying on the couch and Liam on top of him. it looked like he's about to ...

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked with furious tone.

Liam looked at me and his eyes widened when he saw me. I started to walk towards him and shoved him from Nick and that's when I saw Nick is lying unconscious.

"James, calm down. It's not what you think..." he started but my punch landed right in his face.

"You fucking bastard, what did you do to him." I hissed in anger and punched him again making him fall down on the floor.

"How can you do this to me? You fucking idiot." I said and punched him until his nose is bleeding.

I felt satisfied and went back to Nick who is still unconscious on the couch leaving Liam on the floor groaning in pain.

I tried to wake him up but no avail. I quickly pulled out my phone and called 911. I waited until the paramedics reach here and as soon as they came they took Nick in the ambulance and went to the hospital. The cops already here so I told them what happened but they said they need to hear from Nick about what really happened.

I called Sarah and explained her everything and told her to cancel the meeting. I know the old man would get mad at me but if it involves Nick's safety I know he won't say a thing.

As soon as I reached the hospital I parked my car and went to the reception room. They told me the room number where Nick is admitted and I thanked her before searching the room.

I found the room and waited patiently around twenty minutes until the doctor came out from the room with a nurse.

"Excuse me Doctor? How is he?" I asked.

"Yeah, he is fine. Now he's awake and if you want you can go and see him now. Anyway is he your family?" she asked looking through the pad she was holding.

"Mm yeah.. He is my husband." I said somewhat embarrassed.

She looked at me from the pad and nodded her head.

"Ok, here are some documents that you need to sign." She said and the nurse handed me some papers.

I frowned and looked at her.

"Why? Is something wrong?" I asked worried. I don't know why I felt so worried but I brushed it off.

"No sir, we just have to make sure everything OK and that he doesn't have any concussion or something. So we have to take some tests on him. Nothing to worry about." She said smiling at me.

I nodded and signed the papers and after that they left. I took a deep breath before entering into the room.
