AYLIN'S POV :
It has been a month since I returned home, and I couldn't be more happier. All thanks to Hailey, who stayed by my side all the time I cried and also for making sure he stayed away from me.
Yes! he has been trying to contact me ever since I left but I just ignored him. I have blocked his calls and texts and made sure never to cross paths with him.
He has already told whatever he had to say, and I seriously doubt that there's anything else left.
" Aylin, are you even listening ? " Hailey shrieked bringing me out of my thoughts.
" What? " I asked .
" When is Kristian coming with the boxes? " she demanded pacing importantly.
I huffed. " Calm down he's on the way. "
" Shawn could be here anytime, and I have not yet finished packing. Can you believe that? "
I rolled my eyes. " Don't you think you are packing a little too much for a weekend? " I asked pointing at her two huge suitcases.
She rolled her eyes. " No I don't think so . " She replied stubbornly.
" Seriously? You have packed half of your room . Are you sure you are going on a vacation and not moving out? "
" You know what? I hate you. " She pouted making me laugh. Sometimes she's such a drama queen.
I was about to reply when I suddenly felt it. The same nauseating feeling I have been getting for days . I gripped the edge of the table for support and held my free hand on my throbbing head.
"Are you alright Ay? " I heard hailey's concerned voice, as she rushed towards me. " Ya I am fine. " I replied but I knew I wasn't.
She helped me to walk up to her bed and made me lay down. " What's wrong with you ? You have been sick for almost a week. " She asked in concern.
" If I knew I wouldn't be here. " I stated absent minded. Even with my closed eyes, I knew she just rolled her eyes.
" Stay here. Don't even think of getting out of the bed. I'll get you something to drink . You will feel better. " I just nodded a reply.
I laid on my back and waited for her. Even now , all I could think about was him. God! Why can't he just get out of my head ?
" Take this. You will feel better. " Hailey's concerned voice brought me out of my thoughts.
I gently pulled myself in a sitting position and mumbled a thank you as I took the glass from her hand.
" Aylin, I think we-" but she was interrupted by the door bell.
" I think he is here." she sighed.
" Let me check. " I replied as I tried to get out of the bed.
" No young lady, you stay here I'll go check. " she replied as she got out of the bed and headed outside.
I leaned back and took a sip and gagged at its taste. Why does she always make me drink this ? Huffing I drank it all in one gulp.
" WHY ARE YOU HERE? " I heard Hailey yell from downstairs. I quickly scrambled out of the bed and rushed out.
I watched Hailey as she argued with someone. Although his back was towards me , I knew exactly who he was.
" Why are you here Nathan? " I demanded making him turn around.
" Aylin, I'm sorry for what -" but I cut him off in the middle.
" I don't want to speak to you Nathan. So please leave. "
" Aylin please..."
" Don't say her name with your filthy mouth. " Hailey shouted.
" Look Aylin, I need to tell -"
" Sorry Mr Hyde , but I'm not interested in listening to whatever you want to say. So please leave. "
" I'm not leaving till you hear me out. " he shouted.
I was about to snap at him, but I paused , when I felt it again . I quickly turned around and sprinted towards the bathroom.
I crunched down on my knees and throw up into the toilet . I felt a presence behind me, but I ignored it.
" Aylin are you alright? " I heard his voice from behind me.
" Do I look alright ? " I snapped at him as continued to throw up. I felt him gently grab my hair, preventing it from falling all over my face as I throw up.
I got up on my feet and turned around only to see him stare at me with wide eyes. I could see a lot of emotions flash in his eyes but one that stood out was surprise and joy.
" Aylin, we really need to talk -"
" Nathan leave before I call the police. "
He sighed heavily. " Fine I'll leave but remember one thing, the next time I will not be leaving alone. " and with that he stormed out of my room .

NATHAN'S POV :
I paced impatiently in my office, as today's events kept playing in my mind. How the hell am I going to get her talk to me?
I know I have screwed up but I had my reasons. I was confused with my own feelings I always believed that I loved Adriana but the truth was I never did.
What I feel for Aylin is much stronger than what I felt for Adriana. By the time I realised it, it was too late.
Now here I am running after her like a lost puppy, begging for a chance to explain. No! I'm not complaining. I know I deserve it after what I did to her.
I was abruptly brought out of my thoughts as the door to my office was burst open and Ashton walked in.
" Have you ever heard about knocking? I could have been naked. " I snapped at him.
He just rolled his eyes. "Sorry, I didn't know you liked working naked . " he replied making himself comfortable on one of the chairs.
" Why are you here? " I asked as I sat returned to my chair.
" Don't get me wrong buddy, but when was the last time you had a shower? Honestly you stink. "
I rolled my eyes. " Aren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon? "
" Na. Adriana was sick. So we had to return. " he replied with a smile.
" Adriana was sick? " I asked in concern.
" Nothing to worry about, she's just pregnant. "
" Congratulations buddy. I'm so happy for you. " I gave him a bright smile.
"Oh shit! " I thought out loud. When realisation hit me. How did that slip out of my mind?
" What's wrong?" he asked in concern.
" Did I say that aloud? "
" What is it Nathan? " he demanded. This time sounding impatient.
" I..um..may have got someone pregnant. "I stuttered.
" Whom? " he asked with a raised eyebrow.
" Aylin. "
" Are you sure? "
I shook my head. " I'm not sure, but I think she is. "
" And what makes you think that? "
" Cause I did not use any protection that night. "
He chuckled. " You know she's gonna whip your ass? "
" I know. " I replied.
"I didn't think she would..."he trailed off.
" She was drunk and I..." I replied honestly.
" And you took advantage of her. " he completed it for me.
" I think I should tell you everything right from the beginning. "
I spent the next thirty minutes telling him everything that had happened.
" What am I going to do Ashton? " I asked as I held my throbbing head in my hands.
" You are in a bigger shit than I was ." he stated making me glare at him.
" Aren't you going to help me? " I asked.
" I don't remember you helping me getting Adriana back. " he pointed out.
" Don't be such a bitter person Ashton . "
" I heard Jackson is in town " He asked changing the subject.
" Don't change the topic Ashton. "
" Ok fine. I'll help you. " he finally agreed.
" Now what are we going to do? " I asked making him roll his eyes.
" I think you -" but he paused when his phone started to buzz. " Hey love. " he answered. " Ok..ok fine I'll be there. Bye love you too. " he gave me an apologetic smile as he hung up.
" Sorry buddy, got to go. I'll see you around. " saying that he stormed out of my office. Wasn't he supposed to help me?
Sighing heavily I leaned back on my chair and closed my eyes. And then it hit me. Oh shit! How could I forget that?
I quickly opened the drawer and pulled out the file. I flipped through the pages and my face instantly lit up the moment I found what I was looking for.
How did I forget that the contract was for three months and not one? I wasted one entire month doing nothing. When I could actually have had her in my arms?
But it's ok, I still have a month. And I'm going to show her how much I love her. Yes I do love her, and I'm going to get her back at any cost even if have to blackmail her.
