Nicole's pov.I was already in the hospital, checking up on my new patient when I got a page from the doctor incharge of my mom's case.I wouldn't lie, seeing that page got me worried, but I decided to be calm. I knew nothing wrong was going to happen. She was already fine. Or was she?I stayed calm, wrapped up with the patient, and tried to rush to his office. I knocked on the door, and upon his words, I walked in."You paged me? Is anything wrong with my mom?" I asked, but he furrowed his brows, laughing afterwards."Something wrong? No there's not. I just wanted you to sign your mom's discharge papers.""What?!" I exclaimed, and he nodded."D-discharge?" I stammered and he nodded. The truth was that I had not thought about what to do if she was actually allowed to leave the hospital. I hadn't even discussed it with Aston yet."Now? Can you hold on for a few hours doctor? I really need to speak to someone about it."He nodded, and I excused myself from his office. My chest drummed l

Aston:I had been watching her for a few days, and each time I saw her the way she was, I felt intense pity. I didn't even know how to explain it, but she was stressing beyond her limit."Are you sure you're alright?" I asked her one night as she collapsed on the bed. However, she hummed, face buried deep in the bed."Nicole?" I called, but I heard her snoring. It was obvious that the workload was becoming too much for her to handle.I sighed, and drew the sheet closer to her. I wanted her to be covered because the air condition was on."You're stressing yourself way too much young lady," I explained, and sighed again. I didn't want her this way.I was afraid she was going to end up falling sick, and then there would be no way for her to assist us.Thankfully, my phone was nearby. I picked it up, and was about to dial Lucas' number when I paused.It was already too late in the night to call him, so I decided that I was going to talk to him about it tomorrow.The next morning. I was jo

Aston's pov"Yes, a caregiver. I know how you feel. You are probably not okay with the caregiver idea, but it's all right. I know. The only thing I'm concerned about here is your daughter. If there's a way to make everyone happy, believe me, I will. But your daughter needs to be healthy."I said all this when I noticed how quiet she has become. Her expression was blank, and she heaved."I don't think I have a problem with you getting me a caregiver. I've told my daughter countless times that I can take care of myself, because she's just too stubborn.""Nicole can sometimes be stubborn at times, but she's the sweetest soul I actually know."She smiled. "Feel free to get the caregiver anytime you want, and if that's too much of a hassle, I can manage."I smiled at her. "Thank you so much ma'am. Thank you for understanding.""Thank me? I should be thanking you! You are an amazing soul, and the one who saves my life. I am glad my daughter got married to a responsible man like you."I felt

Nicole's pov.He seemed surprised that I came to check up on him, but I wanted to clear his doubt. I woke up, and was feeling lonely. I guess I wasn't used to being home all day, resting."Check up on me, huh? Have a seat."He gestured, making me take a seat. There was a smile on my face. One that I didn't want to be wiped away. Even I wanted to know why he was looking at me like that."Are you feeling better?" He asked with raised brows, and I nodded. His caring nature was over the top.I couldn't help but smile. I knew he was being his natural self."Yes, I'm much better now, but I'm worried. What did the hospital say when you called in sick for me?"He laughed. "Are you bothered about that?"I nodded and of course I was bothered. What if he didn't cover up for me, and told me not to worry because he was trying to cover up for me?A smirk formed on my face, and he laughed again. ""You're worried aren't you? Well I promised to cover up for you, and that's why I did, so there's no need

Aston:"Nicole..." I called gently, trying to hide my panic. Lucas didn't say a word. He was the one behind the wheel, and I didn't know what else to do than try to stay calm.By the time we got to the hospital, he helped her get into the stretcher bed, while I was seated in the car, watching how the nurse wheeled her away. I had never felt so pained in my life. I wanted to be right there. To be by her side at all cost, but I seemed I wasn't so lucky.I sat until Lucas returned, and helped me back on the wheelchair. However, I had a strong frown on my face. I fisted my hands, and my actions didn't go unnoticed by him."Are you alright boss?" He asked, and I paused, taking a moment to draw in the air. I know I was mad at myself. I didn't even know how else to make things work out well."I couldn't be there for her." I spat, my tone hard. My hands were fixed, and I tried to control the anger, but I felt myself hurting inside."It wasn't your fault. You are..." He trailed in order to not

Aston's povI didn't know how long I had been seated there, but I couldn't take my eyes off her peaceful expression. She was asleep, and according to the doctor, she was going to be fine, but for some reason, I just wanted her to open her eyes."Come in, open your eyes, please..." I pleaded. I was feeling strange, but tried to be myself. There was no doubt that I was desperate about her opening her eyes.My eyes were fixed on her and whenever Lucas came, he stared at me with pity. His gaze showed he was also worried about me."Aren't you going to rest? The stress is all over you," he commented, and I sighed." I want to at least wake up. I want to see her eyes."He sighed, resting his hands on my shoulders. "There's no need for you to be this way. I know you're worried about her, but you haven't eaten or drank anything. Don't you think you're endangering your health?""You don't understand Lucas. I am worried about her, I and--""In love?" He paused, and I didn't also, my head slowly

Nicole's pov.I was worried for my mother's health, but Aston kept telling me she was in good hands."You don't need to worry. What do I need to do to assure you that your mother is fine. Lucas made sure the girl was good enough."I smiled, and felt happy that he was taking good care of my mother really well. My heart drummed, and I felt good."So what's wrong? Why am I not being discharged. It's been a day already. Wouldn't mom be worried.""She would, but the good news is that I told her we'll be going on a trip to help us good off. You don't need to worry, okay?"I sighed, for some reason, I didn't want to be left here anymore. For some reason, I felt like I couldn't stay here abymkre because I felt like I wasn't alone."I can't stay here anymore. I need to leave here. You really don't understand what I mean. You left here to sleep because I persuaded you, didn't I?" I asked with raised brows, and he nodded. His eyes were fixed on me."Yes you did." He had an express on his face t

Nicole's povI looked round the room and noticed the way things were. Everything seemed to be off. I swallowed, watching while Aston slept. He was awake just a few minutes ago, but must have dosed off due to Extreme fatigue."Who's there?" I asked with raised brows. I was feeling so worried about the way things were. My hands were shaking. I was peeking through the darkness to see who was there, but all I got was a shadowy figure.I need time to process what was going on."Who's there!" I screamed, my heart drummed like never before. I needed time to understand what was going on.Why was I the only one seeing this person."Aston! Aston!" I screamed, shaking him. I didn't know what else to do, but the worse part about it was that he was no even helping matters."Please wake up, please wake up!" I screamed. Why did I have a feeling that this was more serious than I thought."Aston please wake up, please..." I begged. I didn't know why, but I was extremely worried. I knew there was defi

Aston:The next day, I got out of bed because I had a lot of things you did that day. I had planned a lot that day, especially since work had been left hanging. I needed to handle so much paperwork that had been pending since she got missing, so I got out of bed quite early. By the time I stood up from the bed, I noticed she was still asleep, so I tried to calm myself to let her rest. “Good morning my angel…” I kissed and got ready to head to my study. I took my bath, got myself ready and it felt so good yodo that in a very long time. Once I was ready to leave, I immediately rushed towards the place, and started to work on the documents.There was a proposal on my desk that I needed to attend to, and as I worked on it, there was a knock that caused me to raise my head. I had a feeling it was someone important, so I allowed them even when it was unveiled who the person was until the door opened. “Hello boss….” He greeted me, and was shocked that I was already working. “Hi Lucas, g

Nicole's pov.I woke up feeling really strange. My body ached, and so did my head. “Aston…” I tried calling with my eyes closed, but it seemed like that wasn't really helping, and when I opened my eyes to find him there, I realized that he wasn't in the room. My throat was dried, and I forcefully pushed myself up to be able to get to the place. That was when there was a sound that caught my attention. The door pushed open, giving a creaking sound that caught my attention.However, as I turned, I saw that it was Aston walking in. He looked good, and seeing him on his two feet made so much sense.“Nicole….” He called the moment he saw me, there were so many things on his mind, I could tell from the way he was looking at me. He rushed towards where I was seated, and sat close to me, his eyes staring directly into mine.“My goodness… are you sure you're fine? You look like you need–” “Water…” I interrupted his words, my heart drumming. I placed my hands on my chest and tested my back

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

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
