Natalia hurriedly called Ashton and within seconds he picked it up. "I see you've got the surprise" he said in a calm tone while Natalia grew furious on him

"Dare not shout on him in middle of the class. He has a reputation" Xavier said in a low voice audible only to her

She gulped her anger and cancelled the call. The whole day Xavier was with her like a shadow. All the teachers introduced her to the class and made sure the billionaire's wife was comfortable. Some knew about Natalia being Ashton David Cross wife while some thought she might be ordinary student while no one knew who Xavier Wilson except for the principal. He was just another student in the school.

Natalia entered the house and banged the door closed. She saw him sitting on the couch with laptop in lap and files scrambled around the floor and table. Ashton looked at her and smiled, while she made a bad face and like a thunder stormed into the bedroom.

Ashton looked at her in confusion, he followed her to the bedroom but before he could enter the voice stopped him "Leave me alone!!" she shouted

"You sure Nate!! Baby we can talk" he tried to cocooned her but in vain

"I don't want to talk" she shouted throwing the vase kept on the side table.

Outside Ashton sighed in frustration and left her alone. He ordered the servant to make sure she has dinner on time. Cleared all the mess he created not before texting a message to Xavier to meet him and left the house, not wanting to fight.

"What did you do know??" Ashton wasn't in a mood of bargaining so he straightway asked Xavier in a death tone

"I didn't do anything. I'm such a nice person. I don't know why does your wife doesn't like me" being the ever nice guy he is, Xavier tried to cool the conversation

But Ashton had lost his cool "Cause you blamed her for being responsible for Nicholas death" Ashton banged his fist on the bar table

"I was just interrogating" he argued. It was his job he wasn't blaming

Being the lover boy he is, he supported his wife "that's a sensitive topic for her"

"Still she can be behind his death" Xavier said and dared to look into his eyes

"She can't!! Have you gone nuts, the women loved my best friend they were going to get married" Ashton shouted on top of his lungs. As much as it pained him to say all these, he knew they loved each other. And Natalia can never be behind his best friend's death. Never

After few minutes of silence when the atmosphere was cooled; Xavier has to pin point something, surely the guy doesn't know how to shut the fuck up.

"I don't understand why is she showing you tantrums when she hates you" that ping Ashton's heart but keeping his feels at bay he replied.

"Hey don't say that. She doesn't hates me anymore. And let her show tantrums it's better than her tears and I like the feisty Natalia" Xavier rolled his eyes when he saw the dreamy look on his friend's face while saying it

"Such a weird taste" he teased and Ashton smacked his head.

"Shut it.. Did u apologize to her??" Ashton asked

"Why should I??" Xavier was persist for not Apologizing for thing he hasn't done. Police man really dare inapplicable things a lot.

"Reason: I asked you too" Xavier has the nerve to test too much of his patience. Ashton was just keeping his calm he didn't wanted to ruin his years old friendship with Xavier because of his anger.

"Hey she is your wife, you dance on her fingers not me" and the reply was blunt

"Shut it Xavier!! Tomorrow apologize to her and mend things between you two" the command was clear Xavier Wilson had no other option left
