NICO POV
Aris was fast asleep when I got back home. I slowly and quietly put my things down, she was sleeping on the couch which shows that she has been waiting for me, I had closed early and was just getting off work when I was stopped by the fraud control officials, they had come to investigate the company and me in particular because they got an anonymous message telling them that I was embezzling money from the company.
I was very surprised but at the same time I expected some thing like this but I had no idea it would come this soon. Gabriella was fully behind this and I did not need anyone to tell me. I was fully clean with my business so she hit the wrong place.
I can not believe she would go this far just to make me come back to her. Gabriellla was very determine and I know that but she was slowly going out of hand and coming after me with everything she had. I have had enough of her stupid stun she was pulling but I just need to keep mute inorder not to make her more annoyed than she was.
I would only take all this because I do not want anything to hurt Aris or my unborn child. Gabriella is evil and I know that so I am trying to avoid anything that would cause any more trouble.
But keeping shut would only make her think what she was doing is right so I picked up my phone and called her number she picked up almost immediately like she had been expecting my calls even before I called. Of course she would be expecting me to call her to beg for her mercy.
"What do you want ?" She asked rudely and hissed, she was trying to annoy me but I'm far from getting annoyed by her small rude behaviours her whole existence makes me annoyed every single day.
"We need to talk!" I said sharply trying my best to mask my anger.
"About what ? Your stupid wife coming to my office to make trouble ? Has she lied to you already ?" She responded and I frowned.
"What are you talking about ?" I asked confused. I do remember discussing with Aris about never to go anywhere near Gabriella.
"Why ? She didn't tell you she came here ? That lady came to my office to make a mess of me." She answered as followed it with a small laugh.
I was pissed and furious, I remember telling Aris clearly not to go near Gabriella but she still did otherwise, She did what she chose to do, I could not believe it at all.
"Is that the reason you sent an anonymous message to the fraud control officials about me and my company ?" I asked her angrily.
"What are you talking about ?" She replied trying to play dumb.
"I am not playing games with you Gabriella stop playing with my patience. I have taken in enough of your nonsense and I don't think I can take it anymore okay ?! Stop playing these childish games with me" I responded in anger. All the anger I was holding up in me exploded all at once.
I could not take it anymore. What did she take me for ? She dare goes after my company ? I have worked so hard for that company to be at the top and still she tries to tarnish my image just because I said was done with her ?
"Games ? You think am playing games ? I am dead serious right now. I gave you a chance but you choose to be with her instead so you have to face the nemesis. I would not stop until I see both of you completely destroyed. Nico don't joke with me" she answered and hanged up the phone immediately.
This girl was crazy and she has no idea who she was dealing with. I am never going to give up so easily and it would never be on my watch that she wins this war she has created.
I sat on the couch, boiling in angrily as I thought of what next to do. Gabriella was not going to rest and I can not rest either.
"You are back ?" Aris asked slowly sitting up and I tried my best to hide my furry. If she knows I just had a fight with Gabriella it would only make her more inquisitive and concerned, which I did not want to make her feel that way.
"Yeah" I answered blankly.
"What is wrong you don't look good at all" she remarked, she had caught the emotions in my eyes even when I tried to hide it from her.
"No there is nothing wrong" I lied but she frowned as if she was some lie detector or something.
"Tell me what's wrong" she asked softly, surprisingly melting me and I had no other choice than to let the words flow.
"My company was reported for fraud by an anonymous letter" I responded and her frowned deepened.
"That is Gabriella's work for sure, why is she always after us ? Can't she just let us be ?" She asked I could sense the hint of sadness in her voice and I hated it immediately.
"I would deal with that, there is no need for you to stress yourself on this things just focus on your health and the baby" I reassured her with a smile.
"I am trying but I can't just watch you do all the fighting" she answered and I stood up and moved to sit next to her.
"I am not complaining" I answered holding her hands in mine. She looked at me deep in my eye.
"I am sorry but I went to see Gabriella in her office today, I was just too frustrated and I could not take it anymore. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before doing that" she confessed and I smiled, she sure didn't know how to keep her secrets.
"Just promise you won't do it again" I said and looked at me surprised, I know she was expecting me to get angry at her but how could I get angry when I was starring into those beautiful eyes of hers.
She was frustrated and I understood it, I was also frustrated and tired of Gabriellla, so I can not get angry just because of that.
"I won't" she answered and I smiled.
"I have a solution for one of our problems do you want to hear it ?" She asked and I smiled.
"Of course I would" I responded intrigued.
"Let's hold a party" she replied with a bit of excitement in her voice.
"A party ?" I asked .
