Nicole:I walked out of the doctors office, and that was when I noticed that he wasn't kidding. I thought I had fallen into a dream or something but it wasn't so.I was so worried about the way things had turned out. I was worried that he might have found out, but how? Did he trail me? Did he find someone to spy on me? Was he so worried that he came to my work place without my knowledge?Something was off. I didn't know how to face him now. I was so worried about getting to face him especially if he proceeded to ask me another question. I didn't know if I could answer the questions he was going to ask, but I was going to try because I knew it wasn't going to be as easy as I was expecting it to be. My hands wrapped around the whole thing. I needed time to move quicker than usual.Wait what was I saying? Did I really need to worry about how he found out? Even when that was really important, I noticed that here was still a way to go around it. He was going to ask questions, or maybe not,

Aston:I was shocked with what I saw. I didn't even know where to start. She had entered the study,and stood at the door for about five seconds before rushing towards where I was, and like an angel, she fell into my arms.I was speechless for a few seconds before I noticed that she was sobbing.“Hey hey…” I pulled her face away from my chest. “You shouldn't be doing this. You're a grown woman…” I teased her, and she laughed, still feeling like she was about to cry.I smiled at her, loving all that she was doing. Well I didn't know what else to say. It was as though my life had become even better. I wished there was a way to make things better.I needed time to study her. She was so hardcore, and at the same time fragile. I pressed my lips together and she finally looked into my eyes.“How do I say thank you?”“Um… well, technically, you just say it.” I teased her, and she pouted her lips. This was the first time in a while that I was seeing this nature of her. I had never seen her

Nicole:“He wanted to hear the truth?” I was shocked to hear what he had to say. I didn't even know how to start, and I paused. The food that was already in my mouth refused to go down my throat. Maybe because it was hard for it to go, or maybe it was just me.I swallowed. I was worried about the way things were. I didn't know to tell him the truth was so worrisome for me. I was breathing hard, and was confused. The way I wanted to speak out, but I felt like telling him was going to actually be bad.“The truth?” I asked, and there was no words. I didn't really know what else to say. I was feeling so worried because I feared he was going to hate me.“Yes the truth I want to hear the truth. Can you please tell me about it? I know you are going through a lot right now, and I have a feeling that you think I'll be angry, but I won't i just want to hear the full story.”Finally seeing that there was nowhere to hide, I decided to actually tell him. I placed my fork back on the plate, and he

Aston:The next day started like any other day but this time I felt more happy than usual. I was normally the kind of person who didn't care about the way things were, but this time, it seemed like things happened differently. I was glad that I was at least feeling nice. My life was in the right line, and I wasn't even worried.We prepared, and the next thing was for us to move to the car. Lucas was already waiting for us down stairs. It seemed like he already knew what we were going for.“Good morning…” he greeted, as they helped me into the car. Soon, they also followed, and we were on our way to the hospital soon enough.Today was the day of Nicole's mom surgery, Well, the good news wss that it was the day of the surgery. As far the bad news, I really didn't know what wrong with her. It seemed her mood changed this morning, or maybe it was the fear of her mother going into surgery.I took her hand in mine to comfort her,and I noticed how she flashed me a small smile which I knew wa

Nicole: I had taken a seat just like he has offered me, but there was something else. I was honestly so worried. I didn't know were to start from. I was finished, and teiedmy best to understand where I was going to stand at this point. I knew it wasn't really easy. My head ached due to the thoughts. I wasn't myself, I stood up every five minutes, trying to control the emotions that rushed through me. I was so annoyed. I didn't even know where to start. I felt there was a lot that was hidden from me. “You're stressjng again. You should calm down. It's just two hours. Surgery didn't Something that you should actually be rushed. You know how most surgeries with complications are the rushed ones? You have to understand that your mother deserves the best.” I heaved he moment he said something like that. I knew he had the right words to say to me. I wasn't really that bothered about it. I knew there was a lot of things involved. All I wanted at this point was simple. I wanted the do

Nicole:I didn't actually know how much longer I could wait. My body didn't seem to be my own anymore. Everything happened so fast and I didn't even understand myself.I recalled falling asleep, mad about another hour had passed, but still nothing.“Are you sure we don't need to go in there to check what's going on? I have a strong feeling something that happened and no one is telling me anything about it.” I explained to him, hoping he would understand.“Come on. Stop being negative. The surgery isn't an easy one. If it was easy then it will not have needed a specialist to come handle this situation. You're a doctor. You should understand all these. Why are you making me explain? It's supposed to be the other way around.”“When I guess I'm the one who's mother is in the operating room. Or maybe it's because sometimes I forget that I am a doctor when my head is a mess, and right now, it's seeming to me that my head is in that messy state.”“You'll be fine, I'm sure of it. I'm pretty

Nicole:I was still breathing hard while he was trying to calm me down. I put my hands on the bed and then clenched onto the sheets as though it was my last day on it.“You really need to calm down. I understand your worry about your nightmare, but I promise you nothing is going to happen to your mom. You have to understand that sometimes, these things happen as a result of all the things you've been pondering on. You've been thinking that you have been pondering on a lot of things. Infact, I wished there was a way for me to actually show you that it's just a nightmare.”“it felt so real…” I explained to him with tears welled up in my eye. This went what I was expecting, but it seemed like I didn't have much of a choice at this point. I just had to manage with whatever I had.“Well it's not. You should rest your head. You're feeling tired.”He expressed as he trailed his hands over my shoulder. I knew there was a lot to learn from everything that was going on. I didn't even know how

Nicole:I woke up the next day feeling stronger than usual. I was so happy that things were even going well for me.“Wake up…. Good morning..” I said, and he smiled. Of course he was going to smile, not like he had any choice. I was going to make sure that there was a lot that I was told. My hands were wrapped around myself, and I discovered there was something he didn't worry about. “So you're going to work, or you're going with me today.”“I don't think I'm feeling well. The only thing I'm going to beg if you, now is pretty simple. I want you to understand that it's not easy. I want you to also smile because I know that isn't as easy as expected.“It's not like I have much of a choice, I am forced to agree to whatever you say.” he teased as I immediately smiled.Yeah. I was beyond stressed and even when I was going with him to the hospital. I wasn't going there to sit, but to actually do something else.I was going there to sit, and watched how he was going to recover slowly. I

Aston:Lucas drove us home, and the moment we got home, I helped myself out of the car. I was in a hurry to make sure I helped Nicole with the door. As soon as I opened the door, I flashed her a smile. “I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, I'm so glad I have the time to do it today…” I expressed, and she blushed. However, her expression suggested she was weak. As soon as she got down from the car I was forced to help again but not in a way I had liked. I helped her by crossing her hands over my shoulders because she suggested it since my legs were newly working again. “Much better now?” I asked, and when she nodded, I frowned. “I wanted to carry you because you're stressed, but you prefer to walk.” Nicole ignored his words, and passed him another smile for a reply, but as they approached the main entrance, the door opened, and Nicole's mom burst out, rushing to hug her. Luckily my grip on her was strong enough to ensure she didn't fall, and I allowed them to have their

Nicole:I was at the abandoned house, and didn't know what else to do. My heart drummed, and I was weak. However, as the boss watched me with a gun pointed to my face. I was shaking, and it seemed a timer was on. However, a junior worker of his came close, and signalled his attention. He stood up, his eyes still staring in my eyes. I swallowed, watching as everything unfolded, and the only thing I noticed after the both of them finished talking was the fact that he nodded his head continuously. There was a lot involved, I could tell.“What's going on?!” I asked when the silence could no longer be understood. I wanted to know what exactly was the matter, but the way they looked at me showed they didn't want me to know what was going on. All I noticed was that the boss was walking away with the assistant. I was worried about the way things were. My heart drummed, and I tried to understand herself. My mind panicked, and I looked around, trying to break out. I wiggled my hands, but

Aston's povI was still worried. I knew there was a lot involved, but what I wanted now was for her to at least call again so they could track the call to the location."Lucas, get the money ready..." Lucas furrowed his brows. "Really?" My face showed concern. Lucas didn't expect me to give that kind of response. A sigh left his lips, and he inched closer to get an understanding."It's the money they want,and no amount is greater than her right now, so you better do as I have said before I get angry with you." "I'm not trying to throw your orders off, but I have one question. Why are you getting the money ready when---" I immediately raised my hands up to interrupt whatever he was saying. At this point, I didn't really care. I had other things in mind. I wanted her to be right where I could see her. "It's bait. If they see the money, they'll be willing to release her, but if they see the police, then there's going to be a massive problem. You have to understand, they already ask

Aston's povWe were all at the same place, the police station. There was so much tension. Nicole's stepmother, and father remained calm, and they seemed to not be in the mood to say anything.“Yes, it's time for you to hand over your phones. We'll go in and come right out. Do you understand?”They nodded, handing over their phones to the police. As I sat there, Lucas behind me, I couldn't stop sighing. The fact remained that I was waiting for the police to find something that could implicate them.Everyone was anxious about it. Even her stepmother didn't seem safe as well. She was sweating, and pacing around with her daughter.Just then, my phone rang. It seemed like a strange number, and I furrowed my brows. However, when I noticed there was a possibility that it could be Nicole calling, I quickly picked up, placing the phone on loudspeaker.“H-ello, Nicole ?” We asked with raised brows, and there was nothing else. I tried my best to be calm, but I really couldn't concentrate.I tri

Nicole:I stared at the man with worry on my face. So many things went on in my mind, but a response to give him was what I didn't know. What did he mean by comply? I knew he meant doing what they said, but what was it exactly?“Stop staring and start talking. Are you going to do as we have said or you want to be stuck here for a very long time? We are capable of doing that. This is your last chance.”I nodded steadily. I didn't want a situation whereby things would get out of hand because I didn't want to cooperate. I was hoping that my cooperation would make a way for me.“Y-yes…” I stammered, when I noticed his eyes were still locked on mine when I nodded as an answer.Then he immediately smirked. “Good. Since that's what is going on, I'm going to ensure you are able to leave this place on time, but you have to do something for us.”The smirk on his face got me scared, and I swallowed consistently. I wanted him to explain to me what I needed to do.“I need you to actually call your

Aston:I was still staring at them, rage filling my mind. I knew what was happening. I knew that she was involved as well. I tried my best to control myself, but it was obvious that I couldn't."Are you talking now or should I leave you alone, rather, make sure the police would go after you?" I asked for answers with raised brows, and she immediately pressed her lips."It's not us. We haven't even heard from her since she got married to you. Yes, like I said, we pushed her into a marriage with you, but why would we want to kidnap her? Come to, think about it.." she urged, while her daughter was behind her."Speak for yourself. I don't trust your daughter. It's obvious she doesn't know what she's doing. I have to admit it. It's crazy to see that she's hiding underneath your shadow when she has a mind of her own, don't you think?" I asked, and she immediately pressed her lips. Her heart drummed crazily, and she tried to control herself.It wasn't easy, and she was trying her best to not

Aston's pov"We need to leave now..." I said, rushing up what he had given to me. He also rushed up his, and then got me ready by helping me out of the room.We quickly left the hotel and rushed towards the car. He helped me get on, and he drove towards the place. I was quiet, and didn't know what else to say. I was feeling a bit strange about everything.If I found her I would never let her out of my side again. I was going to make sure she was followed by guards who keep me updated at all times.We got to the mansion gate, and we noticed Nicole's mom was already there. She was ranting, and screaming at the top of her voice while the caregiver was by her side."Mom?" I called her, and held her hands. She sighed as soon as she saw me."They refuse to let me in, but maybe they'll let you. Please help me find my daughter. I don't know how else to say it, but that's what I can say. They are certainly involved."I nodded, wanting to calm her down. "We are all tense, mom, but you have to c

Aston's povIt was the next day, and I was worried even more. I couldn't think, or focus. I needed time to think about the whole thing. I was worried, and tried to control myself.I had to book a hotel close to the crime scene. Which was crazy. I needed to understand what exactly was going on, and who must have planned it.Each time we called the police, they kept saying that she had to be missing for at least twenty four hours."You're worrying too much. She's fine. Maybe she needed time away.” he explained, and I sighed."She's not. We don't know exactly what's going on. We really don't know, and I can't think straight. I didn't even get a wink of sleep.""I'm aware, and it's almost noon now, and you still haven't eaten. Would you like me to bring something to you?""Something?" I asked with raised brows, and there was no words. I was trying to understand what was happening. It was as though he didn't know what the situation was."Are you serious? I'm telling you my wife is missing

Nicole's povI didn't know how many hours or minutes had passed, but my stomach rumbled. I was so weak, and I watched how they were seated on a table not too far away. They had different kinds of beers, and alcohol drinks, but what caught my eyes was the burger on the table.My stomach growled again, but they didn't notice.they were too busy, playing the games I didn't know, well maybe they enjoyed what I was going to."Hello!" I screamed, and they turned towards me, stared at me for a few seconds, and just as I was about to speak, they turned their faces away. I frowned.How could they be so heartless? They kept me here for a long period of time,and didn't give me anything to eat. I was starving, but to them, it wasn't their business."I'm starving!" I screamed with a straight face, but they laughed again, and this time, the one who grabbed my hair stood up from his seat. He had a cigarette in his mouth, and he moved closer to where I was before pulling it away, and puffing it on my
