When they got to the mansion, Nicole surprisingly had this feeling of being at home. She quickly refrained herself from having that kind of feeling because soon, she would be leaving the mansion for good, when Gabriel’s parents are gone.
Gabriel went to the kitchen as soon as they got inside, probably to keep to his promise.
Nicole decided to head to her bedroom. She had missed that place a lot because it was now her safe haven.
She opened the door to the bedroom and noticed it was spotlessly clean. She looked through her closet and found out that her things were just how she had left them. Just then she heard a knock.
“Come in.” she said walking out of the closet. Gabriel appeared in the room.
“I wanted to let you know that I’ve ordered the chefs to make your donuts.”
“Thank.” She quietly replied.
Gabriel went downstairs and saw his parents seated in the living room.“Hi mom. Hi dad.” he greeted as he walked into the living room.“Hi son.” his dad replied.“Oh honey, how are you? My God! Gabriel you’ve lost weight.” his mom exclaimed.“Mom. I’m fine.” Gabriel replied, hugging his mom.“Why didn’t you tell me about Nicole? I felt hurt finding out from Charles.” his mom scolded.Wow! She already remembers her name, that was fast, Gabriel thought to himself.“I planned on bringing her over but I was too busy, I couldn’t make out time for that. I’m sorry.” Gabriel lied.“You’re always busy, don’t you get tired?” his mom replied.“So where is sh
It was time for dinner. They all went to the dinning room.Grilled chicken, seasoned veggies, chicken Caesar salad and chocolate filled banana cake were what they were having for dinner.Nicole couldn’t help but feel hungry as she saw the different meals on the table.They all sat down and ate their meal in silence.“So.. when are you two getting married, so you can start making babies?” Helen suddenly asked, making Nicole choke on her salad.“I know that reaction.” She continued.“Weren’t you two planning on getting married?” she asked, staring from Gabriel to Nicole.Nicole gulped down a glass of water.“Mom, we haven’t talked about that, yet.” Gabriel replied.“You two are never going to talk about it if it’s l
Nicole woke up to the sound of movements. She noticed the maids walking in and out of the room with clothes in their hands. When she took a closer look at the clothes, she realized they belonged to her, making her immediately jump out of bed.“What’s going on here?” She asked in confusion.“Ma’am, the boss's mom asked us to move your belongings to this room.” One of the maids replied.“What! Why?”“I have no idea, ma’am.”Nicole hurriedly left the room and went into her bedroom. When she got there, she saw Helen giving instructions to the maids.“Helen, why are you moving my things?”“Good morning to you too.” Helen replied, ignoring Nicole’s question.“Helen, please make them stop.” Nicole
A week had passed since that awkward incident in the bathroom, Nicole has gone back to being her bubbly self once again and Gabriel has gotten used to sharing his room with Nicole.Helen on the other hand has been busy making preparations for the wedding. She managed to get Gabriel to skip work for some days so he and Nicole could choose the decorations they would like for their wedding, the kinds of food and also the flavor of cake they’d prefer. She was really excited about her son’s wedding, she never thought the day would come when she would see Gabriel getting married, she was glad he took her advice and finally moved on.Helen took Nicole bridal shopping, to get the bridal gown and make any necessary adjustments early before the day and also to get a dress for their engagement party.They were in the boutique when Nicole got a call from Gabriel, he told her they would
Nicole woke up the next morning to feel strong arms around her. Her head was on something hard, yet comfortable and slowly rising and falling with a heartbeat.She lifted her head to discover that it had been on Gabriel’s chest, who was still fast asleep.Nicole was surprised to find them in such an intimate position.How did they end up like this?Nicole couldn’t help but blush, as she thought about last night’s dinner and the current position they are in. It felt like they were a real couple.She carefully untangled herself from his arms, so as not to wake him up.She wanted to remain in this position but also desperately needed to empty her bladder. She successfully got out of bed without waking him up and hurried into the bathroom to do her business.Nicole came out of the bathroom and went back to bed since it was a Saturday. She couldn
It was time for the engagement party, Nicole was already dressed but didn’t want to go downstairs to welcome the guests because she was nervous.How was she going to face a bunch of elite people with a smile on her face when all of this was fake?That wasn’t even close to the reason why she was nervous, she was nervous because she had no idea how she was going to be received by Gabriel’s guests or what their comments would be about her when they get to meet her. She was certain they would want to know what her background was like and she is nothing close to rich.She didn’t want to embarrass Gabriel in any way whatsoever. This contract was a bad idea, she should never have accepted such an offer, but what was she to do? She needed the money and doing this was better than robbing a bank or selling her body.Nicole was still deep in thoughts when Helen walke
Helen walked back to the party in search of her son, when her eyes caught him talking with someone. She walked up to them.As she got closer, she realized that the stranger he was with was Samantha. She wondered if Samantha was the reason Nicole looked sad.She knew Nicole was hiding something from her, but she didn’t want to pressure her if she didn’t want to say anything.“Samantha? I didn’t know you came.” Helen said as she approached them.“It’s good to see you again, Helen.” She replied with a smile.“Same here dear. Um, can I steal my son from you for a while. I need to talk to him.” Helen requested.“Sure, we can continue our conversation later. Right Gabe?” she asked.Gabriel only smiled in reply before excusing himself and leaving her presence with his
Nicole, Gabriel and his parents were in the dinning room having breakfast on a Monday morning.“You two couldn’t keep your hands to yourself Saturday night.” Helen teased, causing Gabriel and Nicole to stare at her in surprise.“Oh, don’t give me that look. I noticed you guys weren’t coming downstairs to see your guests off, so I came to your bedroom and saw you both sound asleep in each other’s arms.” she explained, making Nicole blush in embarrassment.“Honey. Can you just let them be?” Jacob said to his wife.“What did I do?” Helen asked in confusion.“I mean, I like the fact that she can make my son go to bed early, unlike you.”Jacob rolled his eyes at his wife’s statement and continued eating.Nicole couldn’t help but
