His Beautiful Addiction

Chapter 370 - Long Time No See, Sunshine.



"So who do you care about?" Diana asked with a grin on her chin. She knew she was the one but she just wanted to hear him say it.

"Someone not tall and super shy."

Diana laughed,

"Is that all?"

"And beautiful and fuckin amazing."

She blushed,

"And?"

Michael smirked, his eyes still on the food,

"And who makes me crazy about her."

She blushed and kissed his chin.

"I love you too babe, very much."

Michael grinned, he didn\'t need someone to tell him that, he knew she was so freaking in love with him.

"HI, Tiana…"

"Oh my God, Gwen, I\'ve been calling you like in forever, what happened? Why did you leave? Where are you?"

Tiana sat up on the bed as she asked, she was surprised when she saw her phone ringing and it was Gwen calling. Her eyes flashed on the wall clock and she noticed it was past eleven in the night.

Gwen laughed,

"Sorry for not picking your call, I went out for a walk and I left my phone in my bag, I\'m just coming back to the room now."

Tiana sighed,

"Gwen, you got me so worried. What happened? You didn\'t tell me you were leaving suddenly."

"I\'m sorry, I should have told you. I went back to the house, nothing happened, it just came to my mind today."

"Really? You sure everything is okay? You can talk to me if there\'s any problem…"

Tiana was concerned. This was unlike Gwen.

"Ha-ha, sister, there\'s no issue, I just came back home, you know if I have any problems I\'ll tell you."

Tiana sighed,

"Okay, hope you\'re fine?"

"Mm… perfectly fine."

"Alright take care of yourself. And don\'t ghost me like that, I was so worried about you."

"Sorry, I should have taken my phone, it won\'t happen again, promise."

"Alright, goodnight."

"Yeah, you too."

"Told you she was fine,"

Nicklaus spoke after he heard the beep.

"I know, I just couldn\'t help worrying about her."

"What was her reason for leaving?"

He asked. Tiana lay back on the bed and hugged him,

"I don\'t know, she didn\'t say anything, she just wanted to go to our family home."

"Oh…"

Nicklaus didn\'t say anything else. No matter how he thought about it. It didn\'t just add up, but bringing it up was going to get her annoyed, knowing how much she doted on her sister, so he kept his thoughts to himself.

The next day, Tiana woke up to news about Michael and Diana together.

She was brushing when she saw it on her phone. 

"Babe, do you know about Michael and Diana?"

She asked Nicklaus, who just stepped out of the bathroom.

"I don\'t know, but they were good friends."

"Pft, I knew from the very first day I saw them together. They just confirmed their relationship, it\'s all over the media and you know they have an upcoming movie?"

"Mm… yeah."

"I can\'t wait to see it. I admire them, they are cute and they look good together."

Nicklaus stood behind her and stared at her phone in her hand and then he kissed her on the chin,

"Yeah, but I\'m taking this phone now, you\'ve been brushing for hours and you have to go to work today."

He said taking the phone from her.

Tiana laughed as she watched him go back to the room and drop the phone, she finished her brushing and came beside him on the big mirror in the bathroom as she watched him trim his beards.

Her eyes traced his well carved reflection of his body on the mirror and she wondered if she would ever be able to get over him. He was addicting. 

Her eyes raised to his and the smirk on his lips, made her know he caught her staring at him. She chuckled.

Just that moment she remembered something,

"Did Claire tell you?"

"What?"

"that they are getting married? She\'s getting married to Leo."

"Oh wow, she didn\'t tell me, maybe she thought you would. That is great news."

"Yeah, I\'m so happy for them;

Tiana said with a smile,

"And she\'s pregnant too."

Even though she was actually very happy for her friend, she couldn\'t deny it made her feel weird saying it out loud when she got married before her and yet no kids yet. 

"Wonderful."

Nicklaus commented as his eyes studied her expression on the mirror.

He could see she was disturbed even though she was trying her best to hide it.

How else would he tell her he didn\'t care if she didn\'t have any kids? He was satisfied with her alone.

"Um, I\'ll shower after you."

They showered together most mornings whenever they headed out the same time, so the moment she said she was going to shower after him, he knew something was wrong.

As she turned around to walk out of the bathroom, Nicklaus pulled her back and hugged her from behind.

"where are you going to?"

Tiana laughed, like everything was fine.

"Nowhere, I\'m just going back to the room,"

Nicklaus sighed and turned her around.

Pushing some strands of her hair behind her ear, he kissed her lips.

"You worry too much, beautiful."

"I\'m not worried about anything."

"I know you more than you know yourself, wife."

Nicklaus said, hugging her.

"Babies will come in their own time and I\'ve told you I\'m not complaining. And why do you need babies so much, am I not enough for you?"

"You are more than enough, I didn\'t even say anything!"

Even though she knew he was saying the truth she didn\'t want to accept that she was worried, it\'ll only cause him to worry about her.

Nicklaus kissed her forehead.

"Okay, I believe you, but we\'re going to shower together, okay?"

Tiana nodded,

"Okay."

Two days later…

Gwen stood on the ceiling of a high rise building as she watched the city lights.

These past days had been dark for her. Knowing she wouldn\'t be able to have Nicklaus, or do anything to Tiana without being caught. She didn\'t realize the bridge between the two of them until recently.

Even though they lived in the same house and went to the save company, they were completely in different worlds.

A world she might never get to live in. She couldn\'t keep staying with them and seeing them everyday, knowing she could do nothing about it.

It was best to leave.

She didn\'t know what to tell Tiana so she had been avoiding her calls, but finally she had to pick it. She couldn\'t avoid her forever.

It was terrible pretending to be okay when she was definitely not okay.

But she didn\'t even have a choice.

She would have to pretend for the rest of her life unless she didn\'t want to be in the industry anymore, because Tiana would obviously cut her off if she found out the extent she went to hurt her. She might never forgive her.

So it was better she lost half than to lose all.

She was lost in thought as she walked down the street. She wasn\'t looking where she was going when she ran into someone,

"Sorry…" she apologized as she bent to pick the phone which had fallen off the person\'s hand.

"I\'m so…"

Her words caught on her lips when she saw the face of the person,

She knew this person…

How was he alive…

Gwen\'s head swirled as her lips fell open.

He was confirmed dead… how was he alive….

The look on his face also told her he knew her but… they had never met…

"Tiana… long time no see…"

A smirk grew on his lips and Gwen realized that he had mistaken her for Tiana.

Oh no…

Her lips opened but she didn\'t know what to even say. She was still so shocked that he was alive. The media announced he was dead!

He couldn\'t survive a shot to the head!

"Are you still shocked, sunshine?"

The man walked close to her and Gwen backed away,

"This… this is a misunderstanding… I\'m not Tiana…"

Her words caught on her throat as her back his a broad chest and she turned and saw another man standing behind her.

Gwen panicked.

Her eyes looked around and there was noone close by, her phone was inside her bag, she couldn\'t call anyone.

What was she going to do? What if he killed her thinking she was Tiana?

Before Gwen could finish organizing the thoughts in her head, she felt a cloth go over her nose and she quickly tried to struggle but she blanked out almost immediately.

Gwen\'s eyes fluttered open in the dimly lit room, her head banging.

Where was she?

She blinked as the events that happened earlier came back to her one instantly.

She panicked and tried to move but she realized she was tied to a chair.

She could barely see in the dark room, she couldn\'t even tell where she was.

Gwen bit her lower lip as tears gathered in her eyes. She shouldn\'t have left.

She shouldn\'t, now she might die in place of that witch. Not only did she lose to her she was going to die in her place!
