Chapter 109NathanNicole removed her top, and I quickly took off my shirt in response. Seeing her naked in front of me drove me wild. I was eager to feel her warm skin against mine.But I reminded myself to take it slow. It wasn't every day I got to see Nicole being so daring.Once she finished undressing, she settled onto my lap, placing her hands on my shoulders. She looked into my eyes, preparing herself as she began to lift her body."Wait!" I called out, surprising her.I ran my fingers along her folds, wanting to make sure she was ready. What I discovered next caught me off guard.She gave me a shy glance. "I'm already wet for you."I was taken aback. The way she said it was so soft and natural, it sent a rush straight to my core.Nicole took hold of my hard length and positioned herself. As she started to sink down, a soft moan escaped her lips.That sound was so delicate.With her eyes closed and lips parted, she lowered herself further. Her body enveloped me tightly, and it
Chapter 108NathanAfter Trish left, Nicole and I got ready to head home. While I was driving, she was unusually quiet, and I had a feeling I knew why—it was about Trish.Thinking back to our recent argument about honesty, I decided it was time to come clean about Trish.At first, she didn't say anything, but after a moment, she asked, "How did you feel when you saw her again after she left the wedding?""Honestly, nothing," I replied with a shrug. "I realized that if she hadn't run away, I wouldn't have met you."A small smile appeared on her face as she leaned in and rested her head on my shoulder.We decided to stop at Smith's Restaurant for dinner before heading home. When we got back, Nicole went straight to her room, and I headed to mine for a quick shower.Once I was done, I thought I'd check on Nicole. I knocked on her bedroom door and waited for her to let me in."Come in," she called from the other side.As I opened the door, I noticed her laptop screen was facing me, and sh
Chapter 107Nathan"Please, don't do this, Drake. I'm begging you!" Trish cried, and Landon was left confused about which guy she was upset over. But then she revealed, "I love Nathan, and I messed up. I was at my lowest back then, and I couldn't handle the fact that he wasn't there for me. My heart has always been with him. He's the one I want to spend my life with. He's the one I want to marry. Please, Drake!" she gasped. "You need to forget everything about us."Trish was studying in Spain, and I had no clue that Drake had also enrolled there just to be near her."No, you don't mean that." Drake's voice was filled with pain, and it was hard for Landon to listen to it. "I chose to study in Spain too because I cared about you. I did what Nathan couldn't. And now you're saying you just used me? That you could run to me when you needed support and then go back to your boyfriend like it was nothing?" Drake yelled, his voice booming enough to startle Landon.Both of them turned to Landon
Chapter 106NathanSeeing her again brought back a flood of memories. It just hit me that this pain was still lingering. I had no clue how she figured out that this building belonged to me.As I looked at her smiling face, all I could think about was how much I adored that beautiful smile of hers before.I quickly stepped back from the hug and returned her smile, though it was tinged with bitterness. "What brings you here, Trish?" I asked, noticing Nicole getting up from her seat to stand next to me. "Oh, and this is Nicole, by the way, my wife."Trish narrowed her eyes as she scanned Nicole. "This is... your wife?" she questioned, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Seriously, Nathan? You married someone like her? How come I didn't know you were already married?"I just shrugged, not wanting to dive into my personal life. "Can I ask why you're here?""I just found out you're the CEO of Maxwell Group. I wanted to come by and congratulate you in person. As a friend, I’m really proud of wh
Chapter 105Nathan"Nicole?" I jumped when a piercing scream filled my office as Nicole burst in, pulling my attention away from the documents I was signing."No! No, stop!" she cried out, and I rose from my seat, approaching her and quickly wrapping my arms around her in a tight embrace. She squirmed and fought against me, her face twisted in sheer terror and despair."Nicole! Hey, look at me!" I exclaimed, gripping her shoulders to prevent her from hurting herself. "It’s okay. You’re safe now. Ssshhh… it’s alright, baby.""He's here! He's here with me!" she yelled. "He hurt me! He will hurt me again!" Panic and fear flooded her eyes as she continued to thrash about, still haunted by the events of the previous night.I clenched my jaw, feeling helpless as I struggled to calm her down. Her screams echoed in the room, and I had to let go of her shoulders as she clawed at my arms."Nathan," she whimpered, finally pausing her frantic movements.I let out a sigh and gently guided her to t
Chapter 104NicoleA few moments of silence passed, and I started to drift off. Just before I fully dozed off, I felt Nathan carry me out of the room. I heard him chatting with Andrew before he finally took me outside and settled me into the passenger seat of his car.When we arrived at his house, he quickly led me to his room and lay down next to me. "I'm sorry," he whispered softly, almost as if he were speaking to himself, probably thinking I was already asleep. "I shouldn’t have left you earlier."There was a tremor in his voice that revealed his regret, as if he wished he could rewind time to prevent that sick bastard from hurting me and trying to assault me.Then, he pressed a gentle kiss on my lips, and I nestled closer, burying my face in his chest.I’m home. Finally home.*********When I opened my eyes, the sun was up. Morning had arrived. It felt strange that I managed to sleep after everything that happened yesterday. My heart was steady, and I felt a sense of calm—much mo
