Chapter 257: Felt Like A Wifey.

After breakfast, Nicklaus went up to his study room and Arissa decided to stay back in the living room with Blu.

She has a lot to think about before going back to her room. And again, the living room held some memories that calmed her.

Currently, she sat on one of the couches, staring at all angles of the living room and the paintings around, reminiscing the first time she stepped foot into this house.

She wondered how her life would have turned out to be if Nicklaus wasn’t understanding and had been wickedly harsh to her or if Mrs. Wyatt had not been welcoming.

She stood up from the couch stocking Blu. fur with her mind in different places. Nicklaus told how things in the hospital stand.

Everyone had been fine and okay except for her. The operation was successful but the couple and Adele haven’t been told a word since Beatrice wasn’t stable enough.

She worried about her father but she decided not to bring it up and asked about the others alone.

She dropped Blu. to the floor and slumped into the burnt-red couch close by. With both hands, she clutched her stomach and folded her knees to herself.

Nicklaus sounded sincere when he asked her not to take the pills but how would she risk her kid’s lifetime with a man still buried in love with his ex?

Surely she would be free after a few more months. If the two years are complete and he doesn’t want her, she would go.

But her kids would be forever linked and bonded to him. He would forever be their father and what if he doesn’t want her around her kids also?

She would fight for her child if he demand something as cruel as that but can she? From what she noticed, the conditions and agreements she read before signing their marriage contract seem to be different from Nicklaus’s own.

He has more solid legal rights than them. Who knows if child right might also favor him?

Arissa gave the thought a little shake and pushed it to the back of her mind. With a low sigh, she relaxed on the couch and stretched her legs.

"I can’t risk my child’s happiness," she said to herself deciding to take the pills, "And this should be our last intimacy,"

She stood up from the couch and walked into the kitchen to clear the dishes. Done with that, she went to the piano to retreat his coffee mug from it.

Picking up the coffee mug, her left brow shot up when she saw Nicklaus’s phone laying on the bench.

Not that alone, the phone kept on beeping with messages and notifications. She walked away from the phone and headed toward the kitchen but in the next second, her feet found themselves facing toward the piano again.

It might come out as rude but not with her. Nicklaus was her husband and she felt like a rightful owner to him and also his affairs.

Sitting on the bench, she picked the phone up and for the first time, she felt her husband’s phone.

It made her smile with excitement. She had never imagined she would feel this way just by holding someone’s phone nor did she imagine she would feel like a full wifey when she do.

Without thinking much, she switched on the phone and her lips parted in silent shock when she saw his wallpaper.

It was her! He used her as his wallpaper!! She felt a hundred times more beautiful when she saw herself as his wallpaper.

Arissa blinked slowly, taking it all in. She placed a hand on her chest to calm her racing heart as she inspected the picture.

She looked wide awake, staring out of his car window. How did he manage to take this without my notice? She thought.

She swiped up and another surprise clothed her expression when she came to know his phone wasn’t on a passcode. Well, she had expected one. Judging from how secured his door was.

Even his home screen had her picture on it which made her smile grow wider. She had never imagined any of this which was why melted to the floor level from his unintended sweetness.

This was so sweet and heartwarming and she doubts that he expected her to feel this way. She was also sure he never expected her to see it.

Could it be that he also has feelings for me? She thought and her smile flattened. The light in her eyes dimmed.

Nicklaus doesn’t seem like one to hold back, he was never afraid of anything, and she was sure that not even rejection can make him back off if he wants her. If so, why can he not let her know his feelings or could it be all of these go in line with the deal?

Was he only imitating people’s husbands not to flop their deal? Her eyes stung and turned blurry.

Without thinking much, she tapped into one of the messages to distract herself. All the messages came from one person so she just randomly tapped into one of them and when the video was on she tapped into began to play, Arissa’s world tumbled.

Arissa shirked in horror as she watched Nicklaus’s screen, goosebumps covered her skin.

She stood rooted to the floor and to make matters worst, she could not look away from the phone screen.

Her face turned flustered and breathing became difficult. She gulped a million times and attempted to look away.

She jolted in fright when another scream tore off the person she was watching lips. She could not believe that Nicklaus could do this.

Arissa moisture her lower lip with her wet tongue trying to be strong to keep on watching the video.

Her breathing roughened and anger grew in her heart. She drooped the mug back on the piano bench and walked to the staircase.
