Women have been given a power called female intuition. It's something that comes from the heart. We can feel and judge an action if it will be effective, and we feel it instinctively and intuitively. Also after what happened five years back, I've got the life lesson never to step on your intuition.

From the moment Luke invited me to the party, I knew something would definitely go wrong if I went there. Hence, I dropped the plan. A few hours ago, Tara had called me and asked me to come but I apologized to her and told her I wasn't feeling well and as much as I felt obliged to her since she was the closest person to me in the name of a friend beside Mama, bless her pure soul she didn't force me. Instead, she asked me if I wanted her to come to me. She was a gem, no doubt.

Also, Nick and I, both had gone to that party, we would have had to leave Kia at his mansion since Mama was out of the station, which she hates a lot. And leaving her with someone else was out of the box, especially after knowing how her father was around.

I looked at Nick and Kia, both of them sitting on the couch immersed in a deep conversation. I didn't have any idea about what they were talking but once in a while, Nick would shake his head as if couldn't believe the little girl's talks.

And to be frank I didn't have the slightest curiosity to know about their "talks" since they looked happy together and I didn't want to step into their time.

It was his and Kia's time and no one, not even I had a part in their personal time.

The doorbell rang and I got up to answer it. I unlocked the door only to witness Aiden rotating his car keys on his index finger. He smiled at me and rushed past me inside the house and in no time, he had made himself comfortable. Nick scowled as he looked at Aiden who had crossed his legs over the table."Legs off the table, moron." he grumbled as he punched Aiden's shoulder.

I chuckled seeing them fighting like kids and walked over to Kia who had dozed off. I couldn't help but smile when I felt her snuggling in my neck as I lifted her off the couch. It was amusing, how the little kid was talking so enthusiastically one moment and the other she was sleeping soundly. I walked over to Kia's room and gently laid her on the bed, Nick who had been following me all this time tucked her legs in the blanket.

As I dimmed the lights of her room, I heard him say."You sure you don't want to come with me, Amore?"

I smiled as we walked outside Kia's room, "Of course, you go and enjoy." I heard his footsteps following me as I walked inside his room to pick out an outfit for him.

I walked into his closet and whilst I searched a nice outfit for him, I felt his hands encircling around my waist."My enjoyment starts with making my fiancée happy."

I turned around and smirked at him, "Who said I'm your fiancée?"

He laughed as he pulled me closer to him."Don't tell me you've already made me your husband in your heart and mind." I felt my cheeks flush in a bright red at his words.

"Why... Why would I think like that?" His arms around me tightened like vice grips and my hand gripped his shirt in a deathlock since all of a sudden, I felt my breath go uneven.

He lowered his head and his lips brushed against mine."You just don't get, do you?" He whispered and then his lips came in contact with mine. I felt a tingle in my soul that ran down to my toes when his hand worked his way from my back to the back of my neck." I know you're not ready yet but when I said you were my first in everything-", he paused as he looked me into the eyes."I meant you will be my last in every single thing too." My heart raced to its limits seeing the determined look in his eyes.

"You've quite the way with your words.", I turned around and pulled clothes for him, a very failed attempt to stop the bloody blush that was covering me from head to toe.

"Someone has got to.", he chuckled amusedly as he grabbed the clothes from my hand."Since my amore is so awkward and clumsy." I scowled at his words and walked out of his room not before getting my brain wires tangled due to the sudden kiss he left on my neck.

God this man!

I walked back to the living room only to witness Aiden playing his typical best friend role, his legs were still on the table but now he was munching on some snacks.

"Who eats snacks at this time?", I asked but much to my shock, Aiden looked at me as if I'd just said something extremely ridiculous. He grabbed my hand and made me sit beside him."Arielle, honey you've got to learn a lot of things." He nodded to himself as he centred all attention on me.

"The first thing being, there's no specific time of snacks." I chuckled in amazement seeing the focused look in his eyes."Snacks have a universal time." And with that, he continued on teaching me more of his amazing 'learnings'.

"Jesus Christ! Don't make my Arielle's ears bleed with your sh*t Aiden.", Nick yelled as he walked back to the living room now dressed in a black t-shirt, black jeans and a beige coat. His steel-grey eyes looked more distinct in this particular outfit.

He smirked slightly as he caught me checking out his outfit. Keyword: outfit. He arched his eyebrows at me, his lips still curling in a diminished smile. I rolled my eyes to cover up my embarrassment. As much as I couldn't help but accept the fact that he looked ridiculously good-looking today, a part of me felt angry that women out there would come up to him seeing him without a date.

He better don't let any woman even touch him.

Jesus Christ! When did I get so possessive? I need to keep my emotions in check.

Aiden walked out of the room not before teasing the living daylights of Nick by saying, "Oho MY Arielle, keyword gentleman: MY." Nick in response just rolled his eyes and threatened him to stop if he doesn't want to go to a hospital.

He walked towards me and kissed my forehead lovingly. A habit of his whenever he walks out of home leaving me alone. And no matter how many times he did this thing, every single time I feel like it's the first."I'll come as soon as possible. Take care Arielle and please call me if you need anything.

I smiled at his concern, "Drive safe."

He smiled as he kissed my cheek, "The very first day you said these words was the day I saw you in my dreams as my wife. I wish soon my dreams turn into reality." My eyes widened at his words but before I could say anything. He went away not before telling me to lock the door.

"I wish soon my dreams turn into reality."

I locked the door and walked to Kia's room to check on her. As I saw her sleeping soundly, I sighed. I need to talk to Nick about her too.

It's time, she gets a father.

I kissed her forehead, "Don't worry Kia baby. I'm going to make sure, no one takes you away from your Nicky uncle."

I was in midst of watching the third episode of this new Netflix series when I received a message from Aiden."Thank me later, honey."

It was a video shot from a distance. I played to see my love sitting on a bench in front of the bar, he was talking with a man, when a pretty woman came over to him. She was wearing a stunning blue dress. She smiled at Nick and I couldn't help but chuckle when he scowled in return.

Rude Arse!

But my smile drained when she kept her hand on his arm. Excuse me! Miss Back off! He's my man.

Him being the gentleman he was, cautiously removed her hand and said something to her which couldn't be heard due to the loud music who in return smirked. He then smiled and took out his mobile from his pocket and showed something to her. The woman smiled and curled her thumb and index finger in the 'nice' sign. The video blurred and the very next moment I saw that woman approaching closer to the camera.

"What was he showing you?", I heard Aiden say in the midst of all the loud songs.

"A picture of a woman he loves.", she smiled lazily."Lucky woman! Nicolas Arnold who wasn't seen with a woman ever has his eyes set on her. I wish I was her." She scrunched her eyes as she walked away.

The video ended and a warm feeling engulfed me. Even when I wasn't there, he had been talking about me.

How harder will this man make me fall for him?

While I was smiling like a complete fool, I received another message, this time by man itself."I'm getting bored, Amore."

I chuckled, "Where are your friends?"

"Both of them are busy. Evans with Sienna somewhere and the other moron is eating as always."

"Come back.", I typed back mockingly.

"On my way, my love."

"What? No, no. I was kidding...", before I could send the message back, the phone dropped from my grasp due to the sudden doorbell.

I looked at my mobile. Was he already back?

"Who's it?", I asked as I neared the door.

"It's me, Ms Summers.", a voice that makes me throw up said.

Luke? What the hell is he doing here?

"What do you want, Mr Carter?", I asked as I quickly dialled Nick's number.

"Miss Summers, It's an emergency. It's Evans." I frowned as I peeped through the peephole only to see Luke standing at the door, his arm was wrapped around Evans who looked like he couldn't even support his body.

And as much as I didn't want Luke to enter, I couldn't leave Evans in this situation. I unlocked the door and let him in."What's wrong? I'll call Nicolas."

"Sienna.", Evans' speech was slurred, clearly indicating he was drunk out of his senses."I love you, Sienna."

I wrapped an arm around his shoulder, my stomach churned as my hand touched Luke who had his arm around Evans from the other side."I'll call her." I said as I made him sit on the couch. I walked inside the kitchen and got a glass of water for him. I kept the glass of water near his mouth, "Here, drink this Evans. I'll call Sienna."

"I don't want anything. I just want Sienna.", he cried. I looked to my side to ask Luke what was happening but he was missing.

"She left me." Evans cried as he cried like a baby. All this was so confusing, I didn't know what to do. I looked for my phone to find it missing as well. I picked the landline but it was dead. He hugged me tightly, "You're her best friend, do something tell her. I love her so much."

"Sienna..", he hiccuped."I love you."

"I love you." There was a deafening silence that was soon followed by loud footsteps. I looked at the entrance to see the burning eyes of Nick.

"What's happening over here?" His eyes assessed us, I felt my heart stop for a second when I saw Luke standing behind him, his eyes sparkling with evilness.

It was all a f*cking trap!

I looked back at Nick and my heart plummeted against my chest as I saw his eyes burning with pure rage and hatred.

He... trusts me, right?
