Billionaire husband's pursuit for his wife

That raised Barbara's ire. She raised her hand to slap Nina. But Nina caught Barabar's wrist mid-air. Barbara and Silas are stunned to see this side of Nina.

The Nina they know and the Nina standing in front of them is completely different. The old Nina wouldn't have dared to stop Barbara or even raised her voice against her stepmother or step brother. But this Nina is behaving as if she is possessed. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, Barbara" Nina said evenly, without looking as if she is losing her composure unlike the others.

Silas couldn't take the way Nina is disregarding and disrespecting them in front of everyone.

"Nina, don't forget that she is your mother. Is this the way you respect your elders? No wonder Mr. Morrison is divorcing you. Who would want to spend their life with a woman like you?" Silas insulted Nina.

He is angry that he is losing face in front of his fiancee and her family.

Amber is stunned. She heard that Nina can be easily manipulated and is a door mat. But she is unable to match the description which she heard with the woman standing in front of her.

"Why are you worried about my married life Silas? That's between me and Theo. You don't have a right to interfere in between us" Nina reminded him coldly. What she said is true. Her personal life is her business. No one has a say in it. Chelsea snorted sarcastically.

"Oh really? Nina, what are you trying to hide? Are you trying to hide the fact that Theo doesn't like you? Or that you didn't push Senior Mrs. Agatha Morrison? He is your brother, your family. If he doesn't control you from acting willfully, then who will?" Chelsea supported Silas while trying to put Nina on the spot.

Nina is angry. She should have put Chelsea in her place the first time when Theo first accused Nina of hurting Chelsea. But she ignored it and did not pursue the matter thinking that it might be a misunderstanding. Moreover, Chelsea is a dear friend to Theo, so Nina didn't dare to upset Chelsea.

Now, as the accusations began to grow and her misunderstanding with Theo became a mountain, Nina was desperate to please him to win his favour. But that back fired every single time. He used to barely look at her. His resentment only grew to the point that he decided to divorce her. Now Nina had enough of their bullying.

"Chelsea Dankworth, you must be my husband's best friend. But you started to behave as if you are his wife. You are more concerned about our marriage and divorce than your own life. Are you not ashamed of your actions? Going after a married man is degrading enough. But now you are speaking on his behalf as if you have a right to interfere in the middle. Is it not enough that you lied countless times claiming that I tried to hurt you, kidnap you and what not? I never looked at you or even bothered to think about you. But still you created your version of wild tales portraying me as a villain in your story. When in fact you are the bad guy here. Let's just for a second believe that I did everything you accused me with. So what? You were coming between me and my husband, so what's wrong if I retaliated? Who wouldn't? A wife will never keep quiet if another woman tries to seduce her husband. Not even me. Get a life of your own and stop meddling in other people's business" Nina put Chelsea in her place.

Untill that moment, people who were looking at Nina as if she is the bad guy started to think about what she just said. Ofcourse she is right. And they all saw how Chelsea sticks to Mr. Morrison during any events and parties like this.

Chelsea is so angry with Nina, that she pushed Nina out of anger. Nina was not expecting that. She stumble and was almost fell down. But Theo caught her effortlessly. He hugged her from behind to stabilize he His arms are wrapped around her waist. He heard what Nina said to make Chelsea angry. But he didn't hear what prompted Nina to say what she did.

"Are you alright?" he asked gently. His lips brushing Nina's ears.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Nina froze. She recognised his voice and touch before she looked at his face. Her heart skipped a beat despite her attempts to stay unaffected. After all, she was in love

him for years now. It's not easy

to just forget that feeling like she

flipped a switch.

"I am fine" she replied, trying to hide the fact that his touch affected her. His proximity is playing tricks on her mind and heart. So she tried to pry his hands from around her waist. To his shock, his hold is strong and he refused to let go. "Theo, look at Nina. She is accusing me saying that I am your mistress" Chelsea cried foul when in fact it was Chelsea who provoked Nina first.

Like always, Nina was expecting

Theo to scold her and support Chelsea. Nina felt bitter and she pinched his arm to force him to release her. Her move subtle, so that no one would notice. But he still held her like nothing happened. His expression didn't show anything.

Theo looked at Chelsea with a blank stare. He couldn't find any fault with what Nina just said.

"Chelsea, apologise to my wife" he demanded coldly.

Chelsea is stunned, and so is Nina. Silas, Amber and Barbara were shocked as well. None of them has ever seen Theo touch his wife so intimately. And it's clear that he is not pretending either.

The people around them looked at the couple and came to their own conclusion, that Nina and Theo are not divorcing and what Chelsea and Amber just said are nothing but lies.

"What? Did you not hear what she just said?" Chelsea asked with shock.

Ella on the other hand wanted to make a face at Chelsea.
