Chapter 83 - How Are You So Beautiful?



\'\'… and I don\'t think we\'ll be seeing ourselves like this anymore. I\'m really sorry Diana. \'\'

His words left his lips as though it was nothing_ so casually. Does he know how much she had nursed that feeling? How would he dash her seven year-long crush with just a few words?

Diana watched him stand and walk away without even glancing back at her. She sat still on the chair, tears clouding her gaze. She didn\'t know how long she sat there, gazing blankly at the spot he just sat on until the waiter came to tell her they were about to close.

She didn\'t know how she went home that day, all she knew that she locked herself up in her room for days, refusing to leave.

Every other day since that day became like a nightmare. Before then, she had continued living because she had a cause to live for, but now that her only source of joy had been taken away, what more should she struggle for?

Nicklaus held Tiana by the waist as they stepped into a tastefully decorated restaurant. He had already booked a private room and as they walked in, a waiter directed them to their room.

Nicklaus held out a chair for her to sit; before he sat in front of her. 

They picked the menu and selected their meals before handing it to the waiter, who bowed a little before walking out of the room.

Tiana took out her phone and clicked on her Instagram; now she thought about it, she should just unfollow Adrian, since he had blocked her, there was no need keeping his contact, he had moved on with his life, it was not possible for them to be together anymore.

\'\'How are you so beautiful? \'\'

Nicklaus asked suddenly, kicking Tiana out of her thoughts; her eyes shot up at him, her cheeks tainting red;

His eyes were gazing affectionately at her, as though she was a fine porcelain doll.

\'\'Ha, I\'m sure you\'ve seen prettier women. You\'re making me blush. \'\'

Tiana replied, looking down at her phone in embarrassment;

\'\'No, beautiful, I have seen no one prettier. \'\'

Nicklaus replied, tilting his head as he admired every inch of her features.

\'\'And I haven\'t seen any more handsome, \'\'

Tiana replied sincerely before she could stop herself. Her cheeks reddened the more as she realized what she just said; although it was the truth, she didn\'t intend to tell it to him.

Nicklaus coughed lightly as her words reached his ears; he looked away from her, trying to stop the blood flowing to his ears. The room became awkward, no-one knowing what to reply. Just when the silence was about to get stifling, there was a knock on the door and a few waiters stepped in with trays of food. Tiana mentally thanked the waiters for walking in; she was almost fainting from embarrassment.

\'\'Let me see your phone? \'\'

Nicklaus said in the middle of their meal; Tiana\'s brows creased as she wondered what he needed her phone for.

\'\'I want to save my contact on your phone. \'\'

He replied when he saw her confused expression;

\'\'Oh \'\' she replied, handing the phone to him. Now she thought about it, she didn\'t even have his number; she wasn\'t following him on social media either. Well, they were always together, there wasn\'t any need to call him, but it was still important, anyway.

\'\'Are you on Instagram, Twitter? \'\' She asked as she watched him tap on her phone. He didn\'t look like someone who would be on any social media, social media was for fun and a huge lot of gossip, Nicklaus had no time for such things.

Nicklaus eyes fluttered, and he raised his gaze at her;

\'\'I do, but I only upload company related stuff. \'\'

\'\'Hmm… \'\' Tiana replied, taking her phone from him. She thought as much, he didn\'t even know how to play video games, what would he be doing on social media, but she would still check him up, anyway.

Her thoughts cut short when she saw the name he had saved his contact with.

\'\'Baby? \'\'

Tiana\'s cheeks flushed red, but she did well not to raise her eyes at him; dropping her phone by the side of the table, she dug into her food.

Even though he appeared cold and arrogant, these days she had been with him, her resolve about him had begun to flutter, but that could not change the fact that he had maltreated her in the past.

If he was so nice now, how would he melt out such wickedness then? She couldn\'t even understand him.

If only she knew his true intentions.

Tiana peeked at him briefly before returning her gaze to her food.

He had locked her up for days, Christ, for two weeks, without light, only to be served food like a dog?

That was unforgivable. No matter how much he was being kind now, she couldn\'t forget what he did to her. He needs to feel what he made her feel, no, she wouldn\'t let it go.

Tiana felt bile rise in her throat as she thought about it and she quickly dropped her cutleries letting it make a sound as it dropped on the glass table.

\'\'You don\'t like the food? \'\'

Niklaus brows creased when he saw her drop her cutleries,

\'\'No, I\'m okay. \'\' Tiana wiped her lips with the napkin and drank from her cup of water.

Nicklaus didn\'t know why but once she said she was done, he didn\'t feel like eating anymore. Dropping his cutleries, he leaned back on his chair;

\'\'Alright, let\'s rest a little before we leave. \'\'

Tiana nodded as she tried to keep the bad thoughts away.

\'\'So tell me beautiful, what is your dream?\'\'

He asked, watching her attentively.

Nicklaus wanted to know more about her, everything to be exact. Even though he knew it would take a while for her to open up to him, he wanted to start from somewhere. He wanted to make her smile, in the best way he could.
