By drugging me? By hiring men to rape me?" Nicole's voice rose, drawing stares from nearby shoppers.

"Keep your voice down," Sarah hissed, grabbing Nicole's arm. "You're making a scene."

Nicole jerked away from her touch. "Don't you dare touch me. Either of you."

"Or what?" Jake stepped closer, his presence menacing. "You'll call the police? With what proof? It's your word against ours, and who's going to believe the girl who ran off into the night over two upstanding citizens?"

"I have money now," Nicole said, surprising herself with her own words. "More than you know. I can hire lawyers, private investigators-"

Jake laughed. "Right. What happened, Nikki? Did some rich guy take pity on you? Are you spreading your legs for a paycheck now?"

The slap came before Nicole even realized she'd moved. Jake's head snapped to the side, a red handprint blooming on his cheek. The sound echoed through the store, and several people pulled out their phones.

"You bitch," Jake snarled, raising his own

  • Is this Love or Obsession    Epilogue

    Five Years LaterThe Cole family portrait that hung in Timothy's office showed a family of four on a beach in New Zealand-Nicole and Timothy with Sebastian, now ten and all gangly limbs and serious expressions, and Sophia, a spirited five-year-old with her father's steel-gray eyes and her mother's determination.They returned to Raglan every year, to the cliff-side cottage Nicole had purchased and where Sophia had been conceived. It had become their retreat, their reminder of how love could bloom even in the darkest circumstances.Sebastian had indeed met his birth mother the previous year-a kind woman named Maria who was delighted to see how well he'd turned out but had no desire to complicate the family structure he'd found. She sent birthday cards and Christmas gifts, and Sebastian was content knowing she was healthy and happy with her own family.Timothy's business empire had continued to grow, but he'd learned to delegate more, to prioritize family dinners and school plays over

  • Is this Love or Obsession    Months Later

    Four Months LaterThe penthouse terrace overlooked Central Park in the golden light of early autumn, but Nicole barely noticed the view as another contraction gripped her. She breathed through it the way the birthing classes had taught her, Timothy's hand steady and warm in hers."That's seven minutes apart," Timothy said, checking his watch with the precision that had made him a billionaire. "The doctor said to come in when they're five minutes apart.""I know what the doctor said," Nicole replied with a mixture of amusement and mild irritation. "But I also know this baby isn't ready yet."Sebastian looked up from his coloring book, where he was carefully drawing a family of four stick figures. At five years old, he'd grown more confident and talkative, especially since Nicole had officially adopted him three months ago. The legal proceedings had been surprisingly smooth-Timothy's money and influence certainly helped, but more importantly, Sebastian had been vocal about wanting Nicol

  • Is this Love or Obsession    Nicole's Concern

    The flight back to New York was surreal. Timothy's private jet felt like a bridge between two different worlds-the simple, peaceful life Nicole had built in New Zealand and the complex, high-stakes existence that awaited them in Manhattan.Sebastian was fascinated by everything, having never flown internationally before. He pressed his face to the window, chattering excitedly about clouds and ocean views, blissfully unaware of the media storm that would likely greet their arrival."Marcus has arranged for us to land at a private airfield," Timothy said, settling beside Nicole as Sebastian explored the jet's amenities. "But word is probably already out about Victoria and the broken engagement. The press will be relentless."Nicole felt a familiar anxiety creep up her spine. "Maybe I should go back to New Zealand until things calm down. I could have the baby there, and-""No." Timothy's response was immediate and firm. "No more running, Nicole. We face this together.""But the scandal,

  • Is this Love or Obsession    Sebastian's real mother

    Three days had passed since Victoria's heartbreaking phone call, and Timothy was finally cleared for discharge. His hand remained heavily bandaged, but the doctors were optimistic about his recovery. Sebastian had barely left his father's side, as if afraid that any separation might lead to another disappearance.Nicole was helping Sebastian pack his few belongings when the little boy asked the question that had been weighing on her mind since their reunion."Nicole, where is my real mommy?"Timothy, who was signing discharge papers with his good hand, froze at his son's words. The pen stilled in his fingers as he looked up to find both Nicole and Sebastian watching him expectantly."Sebastian..." Timothy began carefully, but Nicole held up a gentle hand."It's okay," she said softly. "He has the right to know, and I... I'd like to understand too."Timothy set down the pen and moved to sit on the edge of the hospital bed, gathering his thoughts. This was a conversation he'd hoped to d

  • Is this Love or Obsession    Heartbroken

    Both women looked at the four-year-old in surprise. Timothy nodded, helping his son hold the phone."Hi, Victoria. It's Sebastian.""Oh, sweetheart." Victoria's voice immediately softened. "Are you okay? Daddy told me about the scary man.""I'm okay now. Nicole came back to take care of me while Daddy was getting his hand fixed.""She did?""Yeah. And she has a baby in her tummy that's going to be my brother or sister. I felt him kicking yesterday."The innocence in Sebastian's voice laid bare the complexity of their situation. From a child's perspective, this was simple-Nicole was back, there was going to be a baby, and they were family. Adult complications about engagements and broken hearts didn't register in his world."Sebastian," Victoria said carefully, "do you remember what we talked about? About me being your new mommy after Daddy and I got married?"Sebastian glanced at Nicole, then at his father. "But Nicole is already going to be my mommy. She's having Daddy's baby, which

  • Is this Love or Obsession    Victoria's Call

    Timothy woke to find Sebastian curled up beside him in the hospital bed, the little boy having somehow convinced the night nurse to let him stay. Nicole was asleep in the chair next to them, her hand resting protectively on her five-month belly, auburn hair falling across her face in the early morning light.For a moment, Timothy allowed himself to simply observe this unexpected tableau-his son safe, the woman he loved returned to him, and the child they'd created together growing beneath her heart. It was everything he'd dreamed of during those dark months after she'd disappeared, and everything he'd thought impossible when he'd slipped that engagement ring onto Victoria's finger.His phone buzzed insistently on the bedside table. Victoria's number flashed on the screen for the fifteenth time since yesterday."Answer it," Nicole said quietly, her eyes still closed. "She deserves to know you're safe."Timothy hesitated, then accepted the call. Victoria's voice was thick with tears and
