Nicole knew she should calm down.

She knew that William was still in shock from what happened to his mother. He looked stressed and haggard, and a part of her just wanted to pull him into a hug and pat him on the back.

But it was hard to push the anger away. With each passing second, the feeling rose very swiftly, and she could not stop it.

Nurses were already starting to move around in the hallway, going about their duties to check on patients and administer dos

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    Grief

    “I am so sorry for your loss, sweetheart. Your mother was a good woman.”“A woman with morals. She always knew the right thing to say, the right thing to do.”“She was so kind, so soft hearted.”“She had the brightest smile.”“You poor girl. How are you going to cope without her?”“Who is going to wave at me from the window whenever I go out for a run now? I always looked forward to that. It was one of the highlights of my morning run.”“I am so sorry, Nicole. I am so very sorry.”“You must be so heartbroken.”“You look so much like her. I haven’t seen you since you were a baby. Who knew our next meeting would be like this?”“She was the best neighbour anyone could ever ask for.”“And she wasn’t even that old. Death is so… unexpected. She was the last person I expected to die.”Every single person who attended her mother’s funeral had good things to say about her. Her neighbours. Her f

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    You should have died in that accident

    Asher found it hard to believe his ears. Here he was with Trisha, the evidence of her double life staring them both in the faces, and she was telling him that it was a lie?It made no sense. “That’s bullshit and you know it. I found this phone in a hidden compartment in your handbag after the accident, and those texts have you written all over them. It is so brazen of you to stand before me and call them a lie. These texts are evidence, Trisha. You cannot explain them away.”Trisha took a deep breath, her gaze unwavering from his as she thought very carefully about her next words and how she should deliver them. Whoever was behind the phone and the texts had managed, very successfully, to get to Asher. Trisha knew it would be hard to debunk the allegations. But she would try. She would make Asher believe the truth, no matter what. Right now though, she has no defense. She had nothing to disprove those damning texts, and despi

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    The confrontation

    Trisha was not going to go down without a fight. After weeks of trying to call Asher to no avail, she eventually got released from the hospital. She was not even relieved about the news that she was okay and there were no technical or complicated issues from the accident. Trisha did not give a shit about that. What she cared about was the fact that Asher was not talking to her. He was not picking her calls, nor was he responding to her text messages. There had to be a reason for that, and Trisha needed to know what it was. The moment she got discharged from the hospital, she did not go straight home. Her car seemed to have been destroyed in the accident, so she took a cab and went straight down to Asher’s company. If he was not going to pick her calls and tell her what she did to deserve such treatment from him, then she would go to him. The cab dropped her in front of the company within a few minutes, and Trisha stormed into the building. She

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    Overdue promises

    “I'll be back in a bit. I just need to go and wrap up a few loose ends. Stop worrying about me, okay?” Nicole said gently to her mother. The older woman didn't want Nicole to go back to her place of transfer. All she wanted was for her daughter to move back home and be with her like she used to. Nicole, however, had been reluctant to leave the small company. She liked how peaceful it was, how the employees were people who treated each other like family. She liked how she didn't have to keep an eye on them all the time. The trust they had built in the company was strong, and Nicole loved it. She would have preferred to stay there, but her mother kept hammering on her to come back home. So she changed her mind. She would stay. She would resume work back at the main company with William, and move back in with her mother. But Nicole knew she couldn't just disappear like that. She had been away from the small company for several weeks now

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    And the phone kept ringing

    “Don't pay her any heed, baby. Ignore her. She's just desperate for your attention. She keeps calling because she thinks you're still the guy who is in the dark about who she truly is. But now that you've seen her true colours, you don't have to hide it from her. She's a bitch and she will never deserve you in a hundred years.”Zara was running her hands through Asher's hair as she whispered those words into his ears. Asher didn't say anything, but he seemed to be content with the way they were. And that was just the way Zara liked it. Trisha had been calling him for days now, and apart from the one time Asher picked the call to yell at her, he ignored every other call that came after. He wanted nothing more to do with her. Hate and betrayal mixed with anger burned in his chest every time he remembered those texts, and no matter how much he tried to forget about it, he couldn't. Zara would never know, but a part of Asher also felt sad

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    When are you getting married?

    "You don't have to go back, love. Really. You can just come back to the main company with me," William said as he kissed Nicole's hair. She squeezed his waist gently before she disentangled from the hug, a smile on her face. "Thank you, but I think I'm going to pass."William groaned dramatically at her refusal before his expression turned serious."I am very serious, Nicole. I know you're fine now, and you've been out of the hospital for a while now. Everyone is okay. Mum cannot wait to properly meet you over dinner tonight. Everything is perfect as it can be. Come back to the main company. It's been months since the rumors and all of that. I'm pretty sure everyone has moved on. I don't want to be so far from you."He curled his lips into a pout and blinked at her, his attempt at trying to look cute in order to change her mind. Laughter bubbled past Nicole's lips at the expression and how ridiculously cute he was. "

    He isn't going to waste his time going through it. She can't do without him and earlier than he expected, she sent a letter to apologise to him. She has nowhere else to go. He held her lifeline and her mother's hospital bills were going to be handled by him. She dares to frown at his decision

    When Nicole arrived home, her mother was so excited to see her. The two women hugged each other and her mother said “I expected you to be back yesterday, I was going to call Asher if he heard from you when you arrived” her mother complained, taking her suitcase away from her. “I'm home now. I

    “What was that for? What you saw was nothing. Zara needed my help and I offered to drive her to the company…” he blurted, his cold gaze on her as if she's committed an offence. “I don't know what you're talking about and I didn't see anything either” Nicole snapped back at him. She tried to

    Nicole smirked when she read Asher's text."Sorry I couldn't make it to the bridal shop. I've been busy with meetings. Take two weeks off work, look after your mom, and make the wedding plans."If she hadn't left the company when she did, she might still have been waiting for him for hours while he
