Nicole Harper

~•~

I was in the middle of brushing my teeth while preparing for bed when my phone buzzed with a notification.

I picked it up from the sink, my eyes widening when I saw that it was a bank notification, a credit alert to be specific.

I quickly rinsed my mouth and walked out of the bedroom to see Tristan busy on his laptop. “You sent the money anyway?” I asked. “And double at that?” I had been surprised to see that Tristan still sent the money and instead of the original ten grand m

    Nicole Harper~•~My first instinct was to run.But that would look suspicious especially as we were basically living together and working in the same building, so I didn’t.I just went to work early and worked overtime, leaving with the last person on the floor so Tristan would have no excuse to call me into his office.If Tristan noticed I was avoiding him, he didn’t call me out. When Saturday came, I was bothered to be around him so I was more than grateful when I finally got a call from Talia, asking to hang out. I almost kissed her through the phone.“God, yes,” I said immediately, already heading toward my closet. “I need to get out of this house.” I had even retreated to my room just to have a bit of space from everything. Tristan was intense but realizing I was falling for him was even more intense.Talia laughed on the other end. “Rough week?”“You have no idea.”“Perfect. I’ll pick you up in thirty. Wear something cute. We’re doing retail therapy.”I hung up with a small sm

    Nicole Harper~•~I was in the middle of brushing my teeth while preparing for bed when my phone buzzed with a notification.I picked it up from the sink, my eyes widening when I saw that it was a bank notification, a credit alert to be specific.I quickly rinsed my mouth and walked out of the bedroom to see Tristan busy on his laptop. “You sent the money anyway?” I asked. “And double at that?” I had been surprised to see that Tristan still sent the money and instead of the original ten grand my mother had told him to give me, he’d made it twenty.Tristan raised his gaze to spare me a glance. “He asked for 10k. Send him 10k. The extra is to reimburse what you already gave him.”I blinked in surprise, still standing there in the doorway. I knew I’d asked him earlier if he was going to send the money or not but that was in the heat of the moment and I didn’t actually want to spend his money on my father. Besides, I thought when he said I didn't have to carry it alone anymore, it meant

    Tristan Michelson~•~“Nicole,” I took a step closer to her and watched as she tried to take one backward but got trapped by the counter instead. I took the opportunity to close the distance between us.As I approached her, she looked away. I grabbed her chin gently, making sure she was staring at me as I spoke.“Please, Nicole.” My gaze softened as I searched her eyes. It was almost like a war was going on in there. I had an idea of what was going on but I also wanted her to tell me by herself. We weren’t going to last if she kept hiding things from me. “Let me in. Let me know what the problem is.”She averted her gaze but there was really nowhere else she could look when I was crowding her space. Her eyes met mine again, her lips quivering as she debated whether to spill or not. “He wants money,” she said finally, voice barely above a whisper. She didn’t need to mention who she had been talking to. “Ten thousand. He… he knows about us. He’s threatening to spread it around if I don’

    Nicole Harper~•~My phone started ringing the moment I stepped out of the building. I didn’t need to check the screen to know who it was. He had already been calling me for the past hour even though it hadn’t even been five hours since he asked me for the money.I walked past the parking lot without slowing down, my grip tightening around my bag as the call rang out. Then it started again.“Unbelievable,” I muttered under my breath, pressing the decline button for the umpteenth time.By the time I got into my car, he’d already called five times. I tossed my phone onto the passenger seat, gripping the steering wheel as I let out a slow breath.I had to force myself to focus on the road when I started driving so I wouldn’t get into an accident.By the time I got to Tristan’s house, my phone had gone silent. I grabbed my phone and bag, stepping out of the car and heading inside. The house was quiet, as expected because I had left hurriedly to have some time to myself before Tristan came

    Tristan Michelson~•~Lily claimed she wanted our marriage to be real but the only times we’d spoken on the phone since she went on her vacation were the times I called her, which was why I was surprised when my phone started ringing and she was the one calling.The room fell silent and everyone stared at me. I put my phone on silent and nodded for the speaker to continue.Lily called me two more times before she eventually gave up. Fifteen minutes later, the meeting was over and I waited till the room became empty before I called her back. Thankfully, she answered immediately.“You called,” I said in a way of greeting.“Yeah, I needed a favor from you.”“Go on.”“It’s Nikky,” she said, making me straighten in my seat. “She asked me for money but I’ve reached my daily limit and I don’t want to disappoint her. Can you help me?”I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying not to dwell on the irony of Lily not wanting to disappoint Nicole. If I had suspected that Nicole’s father was blackma

    Nicole Harper~•~I hated Daniel Ashford.He was determined to torture me, which was why he wouldn’t stop texting me while I was at work. I could barely even concentrate on work because of him, but I managed to get through the first few days.When Wednesday came, he decided a call was much better than a text.He called me three times. I declined every single one, but that didn’t deter him.[Unknown: Pick up, Nikky. I’m in front of your building.”Then he attached a picture of the front of the office building.It made my skin crawl. Was that a subtle threat that he was going to walk in and expose us? And the nickname almost made me throw up. Looking around to make sure that no one was staring at me, I quickly slipped out of my seat and went into the restroom. I found an empty stall and called the man back.“What the hell do you want again?” I hissed the moment he answered the call.“Money,” he answered easily. “I’m broke.”“Well, so am I?” I said in irritation. “Or do you think I’m the

    Tristan Michelson~•~Like Sebastian, Nico, and I always said, Julian was always right.He’d told me my plan would backfire and only a few days later, the girl was prepping to go on a date. It unsettled me. I felt like going into her room to stop her, to bend her over her bed and remind her that he

    Tristan Michelson~•~My mouth parted in disbelief as she walked out the door, deliberately swaying her hips.A scoff escaped my lips. Nicole was an interesting woman. She was feisty. She was exactly the kind of woman that appealed to me. I just didn’t think she held grudges and would leave me hard

    Tristan Michelson~•~Her lips parted as she stared at me incredulously. “W-what?”I didn’t mind repeating it for her just to see her reaction. “You might have to get on your knees first.” She had a mouth on her and I wanted to see how it would feel wrapped around my cock.But I was just messing wi

    Tristan Michelson~•~I was fucked.I’d been hoping Nicole would be a different person from the masked woman, but it had been a long time since anything went my way.Now that I knew that she was the same person, I couldn’t unsee it. I was imagining her in that outfit from the penthouse, only this t
