Chapter 79 Unforgiven (Meeting an old friend)
Nalzen
Dana suggested taking a picture before we go to our next destination.
The place is beautiful and calming.
The scent of flowers can calm your bothered mind.
I love it here! But we need to finish this pictorial as soon as possible.
Maybe we will come back in here for our honeymoon!
Oh, I’m thinking naughty again.
“What happened in here?!” Dana shouted which makes me stop my deep thoughts.
“What? Is there a dangerous animal in here?” Rex immediately runs into him like a hero and knight in shining armor to the rescue.
Did the two develop some feelings for each other?
Ah, whatever it is. I just hope that they are all happy.
That’s the most important thing.
And I’am the happiest woman in the world now because I have my hubby with me.
I have Aaron!
“No, but look at the grass! Who pulled it all?” He said confused.
The grass is scattered everywhere as if someone pulled it all.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
What a pity! The beautiful Bermuda grass has lost its view. Hopefully, it will not die.
“It looks like a child is playing in here and pulled all of this grass,” Rex answered.
“Oh come on! There are no children in here. Who is heartless enough to kill these grass!” Dana said sympathizing with the pulled grass.
“Hahaha, What a mess! Cats and dogs are playing in here last night!” Julius arrived laughing crazily.
He’s crazy I guess. Blaming it on the poor cats and dogs!
“What? Are you joking Julius? How come a cute little cat can pull all this grass? And the dog will not eat grass. There’s something mysterious happened in here!” Dana said thinking deeply.
Andrea is silent and quiet in the corner. But Evette looks like wanted some fight!
“What a wild dog! Right Andrea?” She asked Andrea smirking.
What’s the deal with them?
Maybe there’s something mysterious in here!
“Tsk! I don’t know!” Andrea answered and walk away.
“Okay, let’s get ready guys for our next destination!” I shouted.
Everyone follows me and Aaron is already waiting for us at the airport.
We finally finished our pictorial! We are all tired but at least we are going home.
“Let’s have a party! This roller coaster pictorial deserves a celebration!” Dana shouted.
“I agree! Let’s, party guys!” Julius stood up and shouted.
I shake my head.
The bored and immature Julius. I just wish that he will grow up! And fix his boring life!
“You can do whatever you want but please shut up your mouth! Plan your party when our plane landed!” Aaron interrupted.
And everyone shut up their mouth. Aaron is a party killer!
“Let’s have a party in our hotel I guess. And we will have a video presentation for our pictorial. And I think the pictures for our vacation will be included.” I said.
“That’s great Nalzen. I’m excited to see my sexy body in that video.” Evette claps her hands.
While Andrea just rolled her eyes!
“Then, it’s settled. Let’s all relax for now and let’s plan our party later.” I answered and close my eyes while hugging Aaron.
I felt tired! Our pictorial is not a joke. How much more are our models? I know that they are tired because of the weather condition.
Rain or shine our pictorial goes on. I don’t want to stop or rest.
We are running out of time. I need to submit the video of our pictorial.
I’am a strict Boss or employer but I know how to compensate.
They deserve this party and I will give it to them.
After our plane landed. I let them stay in our hotel for two days and it’s free! This is my bonus for them.
I’m glad that Aaron agreed. This is not my company anymore.
Although I’m Aaron’s wife I only considered Z fashion as my own.
I will give them total relaxation before our final Fashion show in New York.
They deserve it all.
All of my models are obedient except for the three. I guess you know who they are!
Just wow, come to think of it. I’m now a well-known fashion designer here and in the other country.
And I’m proud and happy about this achievement!
My dreams all come true with Aaron beside me.
I could not ask for more.
I’m happy and contented.
************************************
Z FASHION
We are all gathered here to plan our party tomorrow. They are all noisy and excited.
Then we suddenly heard a knock.
Rex stands up and opens the door. And I’m surprised!
Seeing her again brings back some bad memories and trauma.
Aaron is not here and is busy with his business.
But I’m glad that Dana and my employees are all here.
Hopefully, she will not do something bad again!
I have already forgiven her. Yeah, I did not file a case against her. I forgive her because of Uncle Alberto.
My poor Uncle loves her so much.
And she’s here!
It shocks and surprises me.
“Ma’am Nalzen, you have a visitor,” Rex said.
And I can see her!
“Thank you, Rex. You can proceed and join them.” I answered.
I stand up and welcome my ex-best friend Nica Santillan!
“What brought you in here?” I asked coldly.
She smiled bitterly.
“Don’t worry, I’am not looking for trouble. Can we talk?” She asked.
We are talking right now. But I still have manners in me. I can’t throw her away outside!
“Okay, let’s go outside,” I said and walk away.
My employees are still in a meeting and they can proceed without me. I texted Laine to continue and supervise the meeting and write down all of their plans.
I bring her to our visitor’s lounge area.
It’s awkward and we are both silents.
Good thing that she broke the silence.
“Thank you for releasing me.” She said.
“Don’t bother. I did it because of Uncle Alberto. Hopefully, you will not hurt him.” I answered without looking at her.
I still have my phobia and trauma from what she did to me. I don’t want to be near her!
I maintain a distance so that she can’t touch me.
She’s insane and I don’t know what’s in her mind right now.
What if she’s planning to kill me again?
Yes, I’m paranoid! And you can’t blame me.
It’s not easy to recover from that trauma and anxiety is killing me.
I hold my phone tightly. Whatever may happen I can immediately call for help.
“I’m sorry again but I decided to leave him. I only use him and I don’t want to hurt him anymore. I want to start a new life. Away from here.” She explained.
“What? After all of his effort and love for you. You will leave him alone? You are heartless!” I shouted angrily.
“I’m sorry but I guess it’s for the best. I don’t love him Nalzen. And he deserves someone better.” She answered.
“You don’t love him because he has no money now. You are shameless Nica.” I said angrily.
Uncle Alberto did his best to help her out of the prison but she will leave her in return! I’m not happy at all!
“Okay, just say what you wanted to say. Right in front of my face! Curse and blame me! Slap me! Do whatever will make your heart at ease. I will not stop you.” She said.
Seriously? But I’m not that ruthless!
“I’am not a traitor like you. If you come in here just to tell me that. Thanks for the effort but I don’t care!” I shouted and wanted to leave her.
But she blocked the door. And I’m ready to dial my phone if ever she will hurt me again.
But I’m surprised when she kneel in front of me!
What is she doing now? Hopefully that it’s not only acting.
She will be awarded for being the best actress!
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry for everything. I was blinded by money, anger, and jealousy. I know that we can’t turn back time but all I need for you is to forgive me. I want peace of mind.” She said sincerely with tears in her eyes.
I couldn’t even tell if her tears are real or fake! That’s how she hurt me badly!
I have already forgiven her but it’s hard to face her in person.
I think that I didn’t forgive her at all!
“I don’t know what to say. I thought that I have already forgiven you but I guess, I’m not! Every time I will remember what you did to me. The trauma will come back!” I answered.
“Yeah, I understand. I can’t force you if you can’t forgive me now. Hopefully, in the future. Your heart will forgive me.” She answered crying.
I can’t say the words that I forgive her! The wounds and memory are still fresh in my mind.
And it haunted me every time.
“I want to forgive you. I thought that I already forgive you! I let you out of jail thinking that I already forget what you did to me. But I’m wrong! I’m still angry with you!” I said with my tears falling.
“I’m sorry. You’ve been a good best friend to me. I’m sorry Nalzen. If you can’t forgive me. Could you please accept my sorry?” She begs.
How could I accept it if I can’t forgive her?
“You’re funny Nica. Please, stand up. I know that there is a right time for all of these. But I can’t say the word “forgive” now. I don’t know why!” I answered.
“It’s okay. I deserve this.” She slowly stands up.
“Will you leave My Uncle?” I asked.
“Yes, my decision is final. And don’t worry. We already talked about it and he agreed.” She answered with her eyes looking around the corner.
“I miss this company. I’m glad that you manage it well. Although you change its name it’s okay. I like it more now. You’re a great fashion designer.” She said smiling.
She misses her company. But it’s mine now and the name that I’ve given to it brings good luck to me.
“Yeah, You know that I love fashion since I’m young. Actually the two of us.” I said but I’m reminiscing those memories that are hard to bring back!
“Yeah, come to think of it. I’m sorry Nalzen. I miss those days! But it will be impossible for us to be like that again and it’s my fault. I’m sorry again.” She said sincerely.
But why can’t my heart forgive her?
“I’m sorry Nica. No matter how much I force myself to forgive you but my heart won’t! It’s still bleeding from what you did to me.” I answered truthfully.
“I know and don’t worry. Time heals all wounds. Hopefully, it will not take many years for you to forgive me. I don’t want to die without your forgiveness. Thank you for your time but I’m going. I don’t want to be late for my flight.” She said while watching her watch.
“Good luck Nica,” I said.
There’s nothing I can say!
“Thank you, Nalzen. My best friend.” She said then walked away.
I can see the truthfulness and sincerity in her eyes but I don’t know why my heart can’t forgive her!
I just hope that at the right time and the right place. I will be able to forgive her…
