NICHOLE'S POV

My stomach churned.

I suddenly felt bitter in my throat.

"You!" I muttered.

'So that's why Lydia looked familiar when I first saw her,' I said to myself.

Lydia had been in the modelling agency.

She had been the star of the agency, the one bringing all the money in until I came along.

You could say I stole the spotlight. I became her rival.

I met Blake three years ago when I had newly left my parents' home to pursue a career in modelling.

Modelling had been something I had wanted to do all my life, but Mom and Dad didn't want me to.

They were grooming me to take over the company.

Dad would say, "You can't be a model, Nicole; you have to take over when I am gone."

But I didn't want any of it.

The very first time I met Blake, it was love at first sight for me.

We started dating, and then in six months, we got engaged and married.

When we got married, Blake insisted that I drop my modelling career and focus on him alone. He said that he didn't want his wife to be a model.

    NICHOLE'S POVI stood in front of my father's portrait hung up in the main living room.We had two living rooms—the main one is where we receive guests, while the other is where we stay together as a family.The other living room was where everyone was when the news was airing.The mansion was built in such a spectacular way. There is a staircase in the family living room that leads to the main living room."Dad, why did you have to go?" I said, tears rolling down my cheeks.I had left the midst of everyone with an excuse of going to use the bathroom, but really I just wanted to cry my eyes out.The load was becoming too heavy for me to bear.I didn't want anyone seeing me crying, most especially Adrian. I don't know why, but I just don't like to appear weak in front of him. Maybe because of what I had gone through at the hands of Blake, so my guard was always up.Or maybe it's just something else."Dad, I need help. I don't know what to do," I muttered.'What are you doing, Nichole?'

    NICHOLE'S POV"What the fuck! Why the hell am I on TV!" I yelled angrily, grabbing the TV remote from Thompson and increasing the volume.What I heard next came as a shock to me.My heart skipped multiple beats—it was a miracle that I was still standing firm.Adrian and Jennifer came close to me, standing by my side. "You don't have to watch this, Nick," Jennifer said calmly.I ignored her, my gaze still fixed on the screen.Tears were threatening to drop as I listened to all the awful things they were saying about me.The beat-up scene from the previous night was on the news too, as well as some photos of meetings that Blake and I had attended when we were still together."Okay! I have had enough of this madness," Adrian snapped, walking to the TV and turning it off."Why did you do that?" I shot at him."You don't need to watch all those things, Nichole. They are all lies, and every single person in this room knows it!" Adrian replied, his tone laced with concern.I staggered backwa

    BLAKE'S POVShe tapped the couch beside her gently, beckoning me to sit. I hesitated at first, but she insisted.I sat down on the couch reluctantly."Why are you—""Hush now, Blake. It's almost time," she said almost in a whisper.At exactly ten minutes past eight, a headline came up.Boldly written in capital letters:'HEIRESS OF THE VALMONT EMPIRE CAUGHT IN A VIDEO ORDERING NEW FIANCÉ TO BEAT UP EX-HUSBAND'Reporter: "It is no news that ever since the death of the late chairman Leonardo Valmont, his daughter Nichole Valmont has risen as the new chairman of the global conglomerate. It is also no news that the Valmont Empire ranks as number one—the leading company."I picked up the TV remote to increase the volume.Reporter: "Two weeks ago, during Ms. Nichole Valmont's announcement to the world, there was a little display at the conference where her ex-husband showed up. Now, information getting to us from reliable sources says that all deals Blake Williams Hamilton made with the lat

    NICHOLE'S POVI sat quietly in the passenger seat of Adrian's car while he drove me home.The air was tense. The silence was palpable."What would you have said back there, Nichole?" I thought to myself as I recalled what had happened after the fight with Blake. No, that wasn't a fight—that was more like beating Blake up than a fight.Blake couldn't even throw a single punch."I wonder if he's okay," I uttered under my breath."Did you say something?""Oh me? No, no, I didn't," I lied."I thought I heard something.""I didn't say anything, Adrian!"And that's how the atmosphere became calm again, and it remained that way until I was home."We're here already!" Adrian announced.He got out of the car, but before he could reach me, I was already out."I wanted to get that for you," he said calmly."Thank you, Adrian. I can get out of a car myself—you're not my driver or bodyguard."Adrian raised an eyebrow, his gaze searching."What do you think about getting a bodyguard?""What! Are yo

    BLAKE'S POVHow we planned for the night to go wasn't how it went.Lydia and I attended an event at one of the Valmont subsidiaries. To be honest, Lydia didn't want to come, but I insisted she join me so that we could both apologise for our wrongdoings, and I could try to get my contract back. When I saw Nichole that night, I felt a twinge of regret inside me.I shouldn't have listened to Lydia.Lydia kept saying that she had a plan, but it's been almost a week since Nichole took her place as the rightful heir to the Valmont empire.She looked beautiful as ever standing up there. We watched as she came down. I scanned the area for the bodyguard Adrian—no, he's not a bodyguard, but he behaves like one.Being all protective and all. I wonder what his deal is.The moment I noticed they were far apart, I approached her."Here's my chance," I muttered, rubbing my palms together.Lydia stayed by my side, grumbling and giving me every reason not to approach Nichole, but I didn't listen. I c
