His Lovely Obsession (English)

Chapter 52

(Stacey)

With her hand on her mouth, she hurriedly stepped back away from them. Nick dragged Jim by the

collar and slammed his back on the wall near the female's restroom. He punched the latter's face

several times while repeatedly cursing.

"N-Nick!" Jim protested while trying to cover his face.

She called Nick's name but he kept on smacking his friend's face.

"Sir!" Cherry called out .

Heather is behind her with her eyes wide while witnessing what's happening. Stacey has her hand on

her chest. Her heart is thumping. She weakly leaned her back on the wall. This is the first time she saw

how violent Nick can be when provoked.

(Nick)

He stopped punching Jim's face which is covered with blood but he encircled his throat with his right

hand.

"Next time you go near her or worst lay a finger on her, I will fucking throttle you after I beat you!" He

threatened. His voice sounds really menacing.

He punched him one more time on the abdomen before shoving him to the ground. He then turned

around and his eyes searched for Stacey who looks scared to death in one corner with her back on the

wall. He silently cursed while walking to her. She is still in shock and she didn't even react when he

held her hand to bring her to his office.

"Lovey!" came Heather's voice.

"Sir!" Cherry called.

He looked sharply at them as if saying not to meddle.

"Call the company doctor to tend to that bastard!" he said to his secretary.

"Lovey.." Heather began to say something but he cut her short.

" Go home!" he said curtly before heading to his office while pulling Stacey with him.

Once inside his office, he locked the door. He cupped Stacey's face.She still looks a little pale.

"Honey? Are you okay?"he asked worriedly.

(Stacey)

Her hands went up to the back of Nick's which are on either side of her face.

"I-I'm f-fine.." She said in a small voice. It sounded shaky.

"I'm sorry that you have to see all that. That bastard will never be in the same room with you! I will

make sure that he won't come near you! " he said before pulling out his handkerchief from his pocket

and wiped her lips firmly but gently.

She just stood there as she stares at his tie. She is avoiding looking at his handsome face because she

feels that he is absolutely seething. He just probably doesn't want to scare her more so he is trying

hard not to show his emotion.

After wiping her lips, he pulled her towards him. He hugged her while his lips kissed her forehead. Still

no reaction from her. She just let him hold her while her hands are on her side.What Jim said kept on

playing inside her head.

"I am sure that just like old times, after he got tired of you, he will let me have you. "

"Let go!" With all her force she pushed Nick from her.

"Honey? What's wrong? " He asked and his eyes are full of questions.

"Don't honey me! Will you just stop it?! Stop all this! I don't want to be your girlfriend ever!"

She feels sorry for herself. She is angry, hurt and she wants to hit him but she just turned her back on

him. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed.

"Don't you dare touch me!" she angrily said when she felt his hand on her back.

She quickly walked to her desk to sit down and cry. She wants to be far away from him as possible.

She hates him. What Jim said really hurts. At the back of her mind and somewhere in her heart, though

she hates to admit it, she was hoping that she was different for him.

"FUCKING HELL!" Nick angrily uttered through clenched teeth.

The pain he is feeling is worst than any physical pain he had experienced.Seeing Stacey in such a

state is tearing something inside him.

"I will murder that bastard!" his voice sounded like thunder.

"Stop it! Stop pretending that you really care about me!" Stacey's voice sounded shrill.

She stood up and wiped her face with the back of her hand. She is glaring at Nick. If he were a man,

she would beat him up like what he did to that pervert friend of his. They are of the same kind but Nick

is worse. He looks very attractive and distinguished outside but he is a pig because he passes his

women to Jim after fucking them. What she is feeling now is even worse than being slapped ten times

on the face. Just when she had finally admitted to herself that she fell for him, she discovered this very

dark side of him. He did a lot of effort to pursue her but the ugly truth is, she is just one of his women

who he is willing to share with his pig of a friend. She thought she was special.

How dare he break her heart? She tried hard to suppress her feelings but she couldn't...

In between sobs, she asked angrily," How could you do this? How could you sleep well at night when

you do very bad things? You let women fall for you then after you had them you do the unthinkable! "

"What the hell are you saying?!" He asked incredulously while his eyes are like slits.

"You are really something else! You are evil! You really went to great lengths like pretending to want to

woo me! For what? So you can fuck me once then give me to your friend?! YOU SICKO!!" she yelled.

His expression transformed from astounded to murderous and instinctively, she started to step

backwards but Nick came forward towards her slowly and menacingly.

"Who told you that fucking lie? JIM?!" he asked furiously

"How could you be so cruel? Why me? I told you many times that I am not like your women! I almost

begged you to spare me!" her eyes are full of anger though her voice is trembling.

When he was a few inches away from her, he stopped moving. His eyes are directly looking at hers.

"Is that how low you think of me? You judge me so easily. Even criminals are considered innocent until

proven guilty. I don't know what came over Jim to tell you that big lie! He ruined our friendship just to

make me look very bad to you. " his voice sounded genuinely sad and regretful.

"He told me you transferred him to another branch because you want me for yourself!" she accused.

"That's partly true! That was one of the reasons but the main reason why I did that is to protect you

from him! I should not be saying this because I considered him my friend but since he was the one who

started this then I might as well tell you the truth!"

He paused and gritted his teeth before continuing.

"He had been in deep shit many times and I helped him get out of them because his mother begged

me to! If not for her, I won't hire Jim! I treated him like a brother though I never approved of his behavior

especially with women! Some of the women I was once with filed a suit against him. And do you want

to know why?" he asked. His lips in a thin line.

She has a pretty good idea why but she just shook her head while looking at him with her eyes wide.

"Sexual harassment! We offered them an out-of-court settlement and luckily for Jim, they accepted." he

said flatly.

She couldn't help but swallow.

GOSH! Why did I believe that scumbag?--she asked herself. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"I made it clear what I want to all the women I was once with. All of them were of legal age when they

agreed to do it with me. They know that for me it was just sex, no strings attached. I am a man with a

healthy sexual appetite but as far as I know, I never slept with a woman who is committed to another

man. And it isn't my fault if some of them lied about their status. " he said in a cold voice.

(Nick)

The only time that I became an asshole with a woman is when I took your innocence by mistake

because I was wrong about you. I really regret doing that until now. I was a dickhead but I really hope

that you will forgive me once you learn the truth because at this point, I will move heaven and earth just

to make you mine.--he thought.

Stacey closed her eyes for a few seconds. When she opened them again, she almost cried again with

what she saw in Nick's eyes.

"I have never told any woman all the things I told you. I never wooed any female before you. I haven't

done to anyone everything that I did with you and for you." he confessed.

"Nick.." she called, her voice sounded sorry.

She feels guilty. She shouldn't have listened to Jim. She should have clarified things with Nick first

before accusing him.

"It takes a real man to admit how he really feels about a woman.Remember what I told you?Don't judge

me base on what you see outside. It's so unfortunate that you believed Jim easily. I guess all my efforts

are useless. Now I finally realized that you don't really give a damn about me." he said in an

expressionless voice.

Her tears fell down when he closed the door behind him.
