His Lovely Obsession novel Chapter 27

(Nick)

He almost uttered a bad word. He now wants to believe that bad luck comes in threes!

"Lovey! What happened to you?" Heather asked him with a trace of worry in her voice.

He turned his face the other way when she attempted to touch his jaw with a wound dressing. One of the women he had a one-night stand with several months ago, has a fiance who found out about what happened to them. He doesn't know what came to that woman's head because she told her fiance that they have a relationship until now which made the d*ckhead really furious at him.

He was about to enter a famous coffee shop when the man suddenly attacked him and hit his jaw with a brass knuckle. He was caught unaware. The a*shole was able to hit him once. He caused the man more serious injuries so he is sure that he will leave him alone in the future. He may only have a minor injury but he is really pissed.

And his second bad luck is their family doctor who treated him, called his mother when he left the clinic so his mother reprimanded him.

One good thing about what happened is he has a good excuse to see Stacey today instead of just calling her. The wound dressing is covering his whole jaw so his stubble is not visible. But the problem is, his bad luck number three.

He is trying hard not to go berserk because Stacey is holding hands with the f*ckass he saw her talking with at the bar. He balled his hands as he inhaled deeply to calm himself.

He heard Heather's voice again. "I'm fine. I just had a mishap." he told her with a clipped tone.

He forced himself to stop glaring at Stacey and the good-for-nothing a*shole she is with. If he won't stop, they will sense something is wrong with him. So he just turned his eyes to Heather who is wearing a very sexy sleepwear. The muscle in his jaw clenched . If it was Stacey who is in such a revealing wear while another man is in the room, he will drag her to the bedroom and f*ck her until she's sore. Then he will lock her up for a week to teach her a lesson.

Stacey stifled a smile because it seems that someone smacked Mr. Grumpy. That explains why he is glaring at her and Tyler.

Serves him right for being so arrogant! She thought.

Heather on one hand, grabbed the chance to touch Nick. She wrapped her arms around his right arm and she is almost kissing it . "Next time be more careful ,lovey." she said huskily.

Nick wants to remove Heather's hands but Stacey is looking at them. He made a mental note to talk to Heather later. He doesn't want her to get the idea that he is really interested in her.

Stacey felt a bit irritated. Her half-sister and her arrogant boyfriend don't have scruples about flirting even with unwilling audience. She glanced at Tyler who is just looking at the two without any expression on his face. She tugged his hand to get his attention. It will be better if they will leave. She doesn't have the desire to witness what Heather and Nick might do next.

"Let's go." she told her former boss.

Tyler grinned then nodded and they started to walk to the door. Nick is still standing on the entrance and it seems like he doesn't have any plan of moving . He is blocking their way.

"Let us pass!" she said coldly to him but he didn't react.

Even her half-sister tried to tell him to move from the door but he just continued looking at her with narrowed eyes. His eyes went down to her hand which Tyler is holding. She thought she saw him grit his teeth.

"I have to talk to your sister about work." He then said chillingly to Heather but his eyes went back to her face.They have a hard glint in them .He didn't even throw Heather a glance.

Nick noticed that Stacey isn't wearing the bracelet and he almost gnashed. His anger went a notch higher. He, as Derick told her repeatedly to always wear the diamond-studded bracelet.

"Stacey? What work?" Tyler asked . His forehead creased.

Nick is clenching and un-clenching his fists because he is on the verge of beating the other man. This is the third time that he saw the a*shole with Stacey.

Mind control Alcantara! He kept on repeating to himself. In a controlled tone he asked,"Stacey, where can we talk?"
