Wife by Day Boss by Night (Natalie and Brian ) novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122 

But if she were Azure, she couldn’t have made it back so fast. The route to Prestige Penthouses passed by the stadium, and traffic was a mess tonight because of the concert going on. The crowd wouldn’t clear out until past eleven and he got stuck in a tenminute jam

Then again, the thought was almost laughable. If Natalie had the chops, why would she settle for playing second fiddle, accepting slaps to the face without fighting back

He was overthinking it

Silently, he moved to the side of the bed where she lay, a faint perfume lingering in the air, tantalizing his senses

It made sense, though. She had been alone abroad for years. How could she have survived in Bluestar without external help

Kellan swooping in wasn’t her fault. It was his mistake. He admitted it and regretted it

He lay down beside Natalie, clothed, and reached across the sheets to encircle her waist

Natalie stiffened slightly, sensing his touch

Don’t move,he whispered, eyes closed, right beside her ear

Was he unaware of her ruse? Why else would he be so calm, even holding her as they slept

She had borrowed Dave’s motorcycle in a rush to get back. She had barely shed her clothes and lay down when she heard Brian’s arrival

If he hadn’t paused at the door, giving her a moment to catch her breath, she would have been exposed

Brian knew she was still awake

After a while, he suddenly asked softly, How much money has Kellan given you over the years?” 

Natalie hadn’t expected him to bring up King at a moment like this

Shocked, she heard him continue from behind her, If you can’t figure it out now, we’ll talk in the morning. I’ll pay him back tenfold.” 

Natalie thought perhaps Brian was trying to compensate for the pain of losing a son

She steadied herself and after a moment, spoke softly, Some things can’t be undone with money.” 

If ten times isn’t enough, then a hundred,he cut in abruptly before she could finish

Natalie frowned, You” 

The hand around her waist tightened, his breath hot in her ear, Sleep.” 

Chapter 122 

Natalie clutched the bedsheets beneath her, daring not to move again

Against anyone else, she wouldn’t back down, but this was Brian. She knew how Brian was raised by his grandfather in the military district

His fighting skills were unquestionable. Even the champion of his troops, Reid, could only manage a draw with Brian. That was with Brian holding back

If not for the fact that Brian was the sole heir to the Howard family and the Morales family had given their tacit consent, he wouldn’t have chosen business. Even his two years abroad were spent at a military academy, not studying finance

When they were children, he used to call her dumb, a mute, but Natalie never retorted. Brian was exceptional, a child prodigy who skipped grades and became the top scorer in their country during his college entrance exams

Brian was an omnipotent god, getting whatever he desired. No one could stop him from succeeding

So when this golden boy was cast from grace due to Audrey, Natalie’s mother, plummeting from the heavens to the earth, how could he not harbor resentment towards them

He wanted to drag her down to hell and sever any chance she had to climb back up. She understood that
