"You cannot blame yourself for Lucian's bad attitude. He is heartless, and there is nothing you could have done to make him a better husband, or a better person in life.
Nothing is your fault, I am just with the wrong person" I told her, as I forced a smile on my face.
" It's okay, that's enough crying for one day.
Cheer up, let's play games. I want to spend the night here, I can't go back there today, at least not with the way he spoke to me. I feel like he might just chop my head off" I sounded childish, and didn't even know if my words were making any sense. Maybe, I was still drunk from last night.
"I don't think he can do that," she laughed out loud.
I don't even know why I also began to laugh along with her, but we were both happy again. I stood up from my chair, to check if she had locked the door, just for safety.
Kayden's POV
"And why was your wife crying?" Nana asked me when she saw a maid cleaning the shattered pieces of my laptop.
"We argued. '' I blew air in my cheeks, as I was still trying to recover from what had happened.
"About what?" She inquired, as she came closer to me.
I looked at her, and then averted my gaze, without replying to her.
"Did you hit her?" Nana questioned, looking at me with daggering eyes.
"Nana, you know me too well. I can never hit a woman.
Today was an exception though, as I just wanted to hit her so badly, but I didn't" I yawned rubbing the back of my eyes.
I wasn't even able to get enough sleep the previous night, only to wake up with a load of drama.
"You should never make her cry so much. She is a human being too, I think you will have to apologize to her" Nana advised.
"No, I don't. Because she is a very stubborn Nana. She doesn't listen to a word I say" I tried to defend myself. I couldn't comprehend why I would have to apologize to her when she made the mistake and not me.
"Women are naturally stubborn, my dear. And unless you caught her with another man, or caught her stealing from you, or trying to k*ll you.
Then, believe me, you owe her an apology" Nana tried to make me see reason with her. I know she was aged and knew a lot about these kinds of things, but I was beyond pained that I would be the one apologizing.
"Although Havana would never be able to do such, I will still have to think about the apology part" I tried to end the topic and walk away from Nana.
"Lucian" she called me back, and I stopped in my tracks.
"Yes," I replied, hoping that the lecture was over.
"When you finally decide to apologize to her. Be sweet, get her something nice okay?" Nana instructed me, and without waiting for my reply, she simply walked away.
What Nana was saying was just ridiculous, I should give her a gift for being stubborn. Is like telling me to hand a trophy over to a child that lost a race, or worse didn't even participate at all.
Is that how the world works nowadays, or is it just women supporting women?
I didn't have plans to go to work today, but I just had to. I didn't want to stay in the house as it reminded me of the incident that happened between Havana and me.
I sat down in my office, flipping through the files and unable to do anything.
Never have I compromised my work because of anything before, but ever since Havana entered my life, the reverse is the case.
If she doesn't talk to me, then my whole day is ruined.
What if she doesn't speak to me again because of what I said to her?
Maybe, I should just let her be and she will come to her senses all on her own.
But, on the other hand, I think I was too harsh to her and Nana was right. I should apologize to her, but what can I get for her?
What does she even like? I need to get her something that she wouldn't tag as bribery.
"Here are the documents you requested sir" My secretary walked into my office elegantly, with a lot of files in her hand.
"Wait" I stopped her, just before she could leave.
"Yes sir" she turned around, as she stood erect, waiting patiently for what I had to say.
She was indeed beautiful, but she could never be compared to Havana.
What the hell is wrong with me? Why on earth I'm I thinking about Havana? Why I'm I saying her name constantly in my head?.
"What nice gift can I give to a lady? Something that almost every lady appreciates and likes?" I finally brought myself to ask my secretary, after a few minutes of silence that felt like eternity.
I could tell that she was dumbfounded by my question, even I was amazed by my own words. But, it was too late to back down.
"Answer me, and don't just stare at me like that" I had to bring her out of her thoughts.
"Well, I like flowers a lot. You can get her a bunch of flowers and something else she likes specifically" she advised.
"Specifically like what?" I was more attentive this time.
"I don't really know sir. It all depends on the lady. Most women like jewelry, others make-up, and some like new clothes. It just depends on the lady in question" she replied.
"Okay, you may leave" I sent her away.
I leaned back in my chair, with my legs crossed. As I pinched the bridge of my nose, while I thought hard about what Havanna truly likes.
I have never had a task more challenging before in my entire life.
