Chapter 175 - First Step

Ch-174

Cedric didn't sleep after Edward left. He wanted to get drunk senselessly. He wondered if he turned into a monster or what? 

If not, the woman whom he loved didn't even say a word about her pregnancy to him. Was he that cruel? He wondered if he overdid the things. Feeling guilty, he went to his bar and took an alcohol bottle to drink. He finished one by a fourth of the bottle. As seconds passed he was turning angry at himself. 

And he realized that… without Eleanor… he was nothing but an empty vessel. He has to tell her the truth no matter what. He couldn't go on like this anymore. Cedric would face everything from now on. No matter who came, he will fight head-on. Throwing the bottle onto the ground, he was about to go ahead and grab his jacket. 

"CEDRIC!! LOVE!!" a voice could be heard from the hall.

He held his head in pain when he recognized the voice. This woman… he has to deal with her. The sooner the better. If not she would ruin his and Eleanor's life further. But before that he needs to get some information from her. 

"What happened?" Nathaira asked worriedly. 

She was about to come in and spend her time with him. She would rather not go on a date but would spend time with him. For now… her mission was to sleep with him and get pregnant. She even bought some lingerie with her. Maybe she should take the chance of getting ready in his apartment to seduce him. But the moment she entered she heard a loud breaking voice from his room. 

Running towards the source of noise, she saw Cedric breaking the bottles. She was worried that he might be hurt, if that happens her plan wouldn't work. Frowning her brows, she checked him and found no injuries. She felt relieved when she saw him well and fine. 

"Those people… how dare they make me go jail!?" he said through his gritted teeth. He didn't expect Nathaira would be coming here at this point… Since she was already here, he has to cover the things. 

Nathaira was displeased thinking that Cedric was feeling frustrated for missing Eleanor but now… it turns out that he was displeased because of sitting in jail. Nathaira couldn't understand why he was making it such a big deal. It's just a day of stay in jail, wasn't it? Even she stayed there for nearly a month once upon a time. Well… that was her biggest secret. 

"We will deal with them after tonight," Nathaira said as she placed her hand on his chest making him feel disgusted which he hid with a smile as he held her hand. 

"Indeed… let's celebrate our return," he said wrapping his hands around her which made him disgusted furthermore. 

"I will change," she said. He nodded. She walked to his room boldly and stripped herself before entering the bathroom. She was displeased when she didn't see Cedric following her. 

Clenching her palms into tight balls, she stood under the showerhead. Whatever… tonight would be hers and she would sleep with him. If not… they already returned to the country Lucren, she was afraid that Cedric's buried feeling would be resurfaced and would slip from her fingers. Anger was the only thing that she could feel right at this moment. If not how dare he not follow her and have sex with her. 

But on the other hand… she satisfied herself saying that he was beyond angry at Eleanor and Valene for putting him in jail and couldn't feel anything for her. Meanwhile… Cedric got ready in his guest room. He badly wanted to use his phone but he couldn't. Sigh… but he has to put on a nice show to Nathaira. Picking his phone, he continued to wait in the hall. He knew what Nathaira was expecting. She wants to have sex with him. And he knew she came up with a few tricks. Walking inside his bedroom, he saw her purse on the couch. Opening it, he saw a few drugs in it. And he knew what kind they are. He replaced those drugs with similar-looking tablets. One could directly say the tablets and drugs are different looking. Cedric placed the drugs as usual in her purse and didn't change them. He took out his other phone and informed Edward about his sister's doing. 

Edward wanted to go there and slap Nathaira, but tonight is too important to them. He needs to make sure everything was perfect. Edward promised to get the antidote for the drug she was carrying. They knew it was aphrodisiac but no one knew how strong or what dosage it consists of. Nevertheless, it was better to be safe than sorry. 

Nathaira got ready and returned from his room, with her purse in her hands. She was wearing a red dress, which had a huge slit that ended up above her mid-thigh. If she sits down… one could even see her panties. 

Cedric wanted to yell and say that she looks like a prostitute but he held his tongue back for the time being. She walked towards him and clung to him like a koala which disgusted him even more. The more time he spent with Nathaira the more disgusted he felt. 

A woman should behave like Eleanor, she never seduced him knowingly or wantedly. It was always him, who seduced her. And her seduction… always happens without her knowledge. Unlike, Nathaira who strips completely before landing herself in his arms…. Eleanor was never like that. She was never desperate to get into his arms. Eleanor always kept herself within limits and would act only when needed. She never hesitates to ask for help but she asks for help from her family members only. Eleanor shows she was dependant yet independent. She always put her self-respect first for everything, unlike Nathaira who couldn't wait to strip her self-respect just to gain the things she wanted. 

Eleanor was a pure, innocent, smart, and easy-going person. While Nathaira was venomous, evil, too smart to the point that she would not even find the death on her way. 

"You look hot," he mumbled in her ears for which Nathaira blushed more than she needed. Suddenly he wanted to push her away from his embrace, but he has to hold it on at least till tonight. 

His memory took him to Eleanor. When he said something to her… she would turn red but her blush would be always in rosy pink color. She would turn inexplicably red when he comment on her about kissing her or making out. A smile formed on his lips at the memory of her. But he didn't know that his smile made Nathaira misunderstand something. 

Nathaira thought at least she would get a kiss from Cedric but she didn't. Raising her head, she looked at him who was smiling with mischief in his eyes. Maybe he was feeling horny about her too. Her eyes glimmered with hope. Cedric was turning hers. She would hold on to him tighter than usual. 

"Cedric," she called him waking him up from Eleanor's memories only to face the reality of the poisonous Nathaira. When he looked at her, he found it hard to put on a smiling face…. But he maintained it somehow. And again… before he could adjust himself to the situation, Nathaira stood on her tiptoes and kissed him hard. She pushed him onto the couch. She placed her legs around his waist as she pressed her pussy onto his dick. Cedric has to say she was a really good kisser. But no matter what… he wasn't getting turned on. If it was Eleanor… he would have been turned the moment he saw her in this clothing. 

Nathaira removed his coat as she continued to kiss him. She was feeling frustrated as Cedric wasn't kissing her back. Breaking the kiss, she looked into his eyes but before she could say something, Cedric pulled her closer and started kissing her hard. 

Cedric knew things would escalate now. He needs to stop but his brain stopped functioning. All he could feel was disgusting. He felt that he was betraying Eleanor by kissing another woman. How could he kiss another woman when he has his soulmate? He was torn between his emotions and the thoughts about Eleanor. He forgot that he has to kiss her back. When Nathaira stopped kissing him, he noticed she was looking at him suspiciously. Pulling her closer by her waist he kissed her hard. 

He was getting frustrated when he felt she was trying to strip him naked. He pulled his watch and pressed a button, which immediately made his phone ring as if someone was calling him. 

He groaned in relief, but Nathaira thought it was as if he groaned in frustration because of the phone call. Picking the phone, he cut the call. 

"Neaten your clothes. I will go and take this call," he said. 

Nathaira nodded yet her eyes were unwilling to leave the job unfinished. Cedric understood that too. 

"Don't worry we can continue tonight from the point where we stopped," he said with a smile that relieved a huge burden from her chest.
