Chapter 702 - Chocolate Part 1

Nathaniel is currently in the library to finish her research. He wanted to go to Harvard to research other preferences so he could finish his thesis and proceed with the project that they are making. It's been two weeks now since he last had shopping with his wife.

He has no time now besides of lovemaking during nights and buying groceries before he left the school. She almost didn't leave the house. It's a good thing that Mason is there to be her trainer. However, he didn't want to leave his wife with a man. But since Mason is one of the best agents, he trusts him not to do something to his wife.

However, can he trust Kelsie? He took his phone to check the cameras in the house and Kelsie is busy in the kitchen while Mason is in the garden fixing the sprinkler. 

He's just being paranoid.

"You looked so worried." His friend Rick asked.

"It's nothing."

"If you are worried about your wife, why won't you go home?"

"It's not like that." He said.

"Did you leave your wife with someone or a man, perhaps?" Rick asked and Nathaniel looked up at him. Rick seemed to already read him. "Man, you've been so busy."

"No, it's not like that."

"Then, what did that man represents?"

"He's a bodyguard and her fitness trainer."

"Damn, man! They've might already f.u.c.k behind your back."

"My wife is not like that." Somehow, even though Nathaniel said those words, he still felt like Rick's words is right. It already happened to him many times. Not just to Kate but to other ex-girlfriends that he had a relationship with.

"Well, you could say so. Lots of wives who are left alone in the house are like that."

He stood and he gathers his papers.

"I'm sorry, Nate. I'm just saying." Rick shrugged. He didn't say anything at all and he left the library. He went directly to the parking lot. Kelsie knew that he won't back until later. So, maybe a surprise will do. He might catch them.

He drove his motorbike directly to the villa. And Mason is still in the garden wet when the water burst.

"Hey! Good thing that you are here. I need to leave to buy a replacement for this and, I'm going out on a date."

Suddenly, his anger and anxiety dissipate and he nodded.

"Sure. I'll transfer the money for the tool." I told him.

"Yeah. And I need to talk to you about your wife." Mason said. Nathaniel froze. Did Kelsie do something bad? But he didn't ask. "Well, your wife is very fragile, so I think I have to delay heavy work-outs. I'll be leaving in a week since there's a big commotion in France."

Nathaniel heard about Timothy and the attack.

"I already set up a work-out list for her. Yoga will do first and tai-chi. But she needed to eat more and get a little fat."

"Okay. Is that it?"

"Yes. I don't want to give her heavy work out because her body is not ready for that."

"Okay." He nodded at him and then he went back inside. He put his shoes on the shoe rack and slid his feet to the fluffy slippers and went to the kitchen. The food that she's preparing smells famishing. He stopped and watched her pulled out a tray from the oven. Lasagna. She put it on the counter. She looked up at him and her face brightens.

"Hubby!"

He suddenly felt guilty for thinking bad things about them.

"You are just right in time! I make lasagna for a snack."

He put his bag away and approached her. He wrapped his arms around her small waist from behind and pressed his lips to her neck.

"Hey, did the thesis and all stressed you?"

"Hmm."

"I'll massage your body later. I just need to prepare for dinner."

"Let's cool down the lasagna and go to bed."

"Why?" She asked and frowned at him.

"I want you right now."

Kelsie smiled at him. S.e.x could take the stress away so, she put a net over the lasagna and they went to the bed.

"I will take a shower."

"No. I love the way you smell."

He removed the apron. He sat on the bed and removed his socks, his shirt, and pants. She lifted her dress and he smiled at the pair of VS collection. She gains weight and she's not that thin anymore.

"It's good that you keep eating."

"Mason makes me eat a lot." She said. "So, I have to cook a lot."

"Don't worry, he's leaving so he won't bother you.�� He smirked at her. She chuckled. "But you have to follow the workout routine that he set."

"I will."

It's been two weeks since Esme left New York. He's now alone and he is dealing with lots of things in school. He'll graduate in two years and then, he'll take over the company in New York. But he'll work in the Pattinson Company in New York as a newbie first.

"Noodles," He mumbled. 

He's been eating noodles and take-outs after Esme left. His little sister cooked for him and he sometimes did the same. He sometimes didn't have an appetite to eat because he's alone.

Still, he needed to eat and he gets hungry easily since he works out a lot. So, sometimes, he would ask a girl out for a date and he would buy foods to eat. So, he won't eat alone. He might not be able to leave the country for his sister's graduation. But he sent her a gift for her graduation.

Laurence's phone chimes and he checked it. His dad? He read the email and he froze. Something happened to Timothy and Zendaya in France. He's now eager about it. He called Asher. After a few rings, Asher answered.

"Laurence," Asher mumbled.

"What happened to Zendaya?"

"She's fine now. You don't need to worry."

"How about Timothy?"

"Timmy is good, too." Asher seemed struggling on talking. "I'm busy right now."

"Busy?" Laurence frowned. "Asher, I need to know what happened."

"Laurence, I am so f.u.c.k.i.n.g busy right now."

"Asher, you were there."

"You don't have to worry. They are both alive…" Asher hissed. He doesn't sound right.

"Okay."

Asher seemed to put away the phone and then he heard m.o.a.ning. Asher forgets to hang up. Laurence rolled his eyes when Asher shouted that he's going to come or something. He hung up and put his phone away. Did he need to hook up tonight?

He stopped and looked at the family photo that he hung nearby. He didn't need someone to please him. But he just wanted someone particular and he can't have her.

The problem in Switzerland has been solved but something happened again and it's located in France. Athena went directly to Timothy's room. She knocked and entered but she rolled her eyes when the two are kissing. She heard that Timothy is in a fatal condition but it seemed like the two are ready to get it on.

"Seriously?" Athena mumbled. They stopped and Zendaya turned to her and smile. "I think it's something fatal. But Timothy is sitting up and the two of you are nearly stripping each other's clothes."

Zendaya laughed.

"Don't be funny."

"Hi, Athena." Timothy waved.

"He's fine, we'll be leaving tomorrow. You go with us?"

"Yes. Whatever." She sat on the sofa and Timothy lay down.

"Girls, you go chit-chat. I'm going to chillax here."

Zendaya took a bottle of soda from the fridge and approached Athena. She gave it to her and she sat beside her.

"So, what happened? I heard that you and your mom declare war to them?"

"We've been in war ever since that they attack Demi's mansion."

"And what did you give to Ilya that makes his face horror?"

"Well," Zendaya took out her phone and showed to her the photos. "Asher just find out something while he and Aria are staying here."

Athena looked closely at the person in the wheelchair.

"Who is this?"

"His boy toy didn't know about this. He thought he's already dead so, he gave everything to Ilya. To be his ace and his boy toy. If he knows that the person that Ilya love most is still alive, then, it'll become chaotic in their empire."

"What?"

"I think Ilya have something else to achieve. He wanted this man alive so much. Wynter just contacted me and send me photos of sketches. I think Ilya also get files from the EPUA laboratory six years ago to cure him."

Athena stopped and looked at Timothy who is wearing his headphones and playing video games on his phone.

"They shouldn't know about the nanomites," Athena said.

"I think they already know. Cyra, Ashton, and Natalia just recently investigated in the whole penthouse after giving the maid and butler an off day."

"So, who come back?"

"The Butler came back. But the Knight Empire said that the maid got sick and not able to go back to work." Zendaya said. "The maid has been with them for two years now. She got close to Natalia and Cyra so," Zendy shrugged. "But Cyra has trust issues. The maid is one of the suspects and the Butler."
