Nicole did not count the cash, she panicked and her first reflex was to just pack everything and rush out of the place. It was obvious that he was hiding something from someone, and that was why she had returned to uncover the mystery behind who wanted her family dead. Once she got back to the hotel, she decided to call Henry but when she reached out for her phone in her purse it was no where to be found.“Where did I keep it?” she pondered to herself. She could remember using it back at the apartment as a make shift flash light, “Oh no! Maybe I must have forgotten it back there,” she said to herself, she would have to return the next day to find her phone because that was the only way she could get across to Henry.Nicole not knowing what next to do, pulled out her dad’s personal diary from the bag. She was a bit reluctant to read the diary since she knew that it would probably show her hidden parts of her dad that she never knew, that might get to her emotionally but it was som
Henry was finally calm he woke up to a text message from Nicole explaining every thing that had transpired the previous day. In the text she also told him about the fortune she had found back at the apartment, it was definitely a good development.Back at Colorado Nicole was desperately trying her best to find out what firm Jeremy worked for, she kept going through her dad’s personal diary until she came across a name. ‘The Black Dot law firm’, it was actually a very big law cooperation in Colorado but what surprised Nicole the most was the fact that the firm only gave out personal lawyers to individuals that own businesses which are worth about a hundred million dollars and above.Nicole could not remember living the life of the daughter of a millionaire, it always seemed like they were an average family. She was not going to call the firm directly, she had no idea who could have been involved in her parents issues.“Hello Henry,”“Hey Nicole, I was worried about you until I saw
On hearing what Nicole said, Jeremy’s wife decided to come personally. Only a few people even knew who she was, talk more of her husband and she knew that it was something important. In a few hours time after Nicole mentioned her husband, Sophia Baxton arrived at the hotel. She had come to find out who the so called person was and what they wanted.Sophia not wanting anyone at all to know what her and the young girl talked about, asked everyone to leave the room. The woman was soft spoken, she was obviously an introvert or perhaps just another rich proud woman that didn’t feel the need to speak.“who are you?” Sophia Baxton asked Nicole, she wore a dark shade that his her eyes. She had a very long blonde hair, and she wore a leather jacket that screamed wealth.“I am Nicole…, Nicole Price,” she replied to Sophia, “I suppose you are Mrs. Baxton?” she asked.Sophia gave no answer, she was silent for a while before she uttered,“who do you work for?” her tone sounding tougher than b
“I had no idea that such a tragedy had befallen your family, I am truly sorry to hear all that,” Jeremy expressed his condolences, “I can only but imagine how you would feel about the whole situation, how come you waited all this time to find me?” he asked.“that is a really long story by the way, I actually lost my memory all this while. It was just until about a week ago that I got back all my memories,” she narrated. They both walked along the garden, as they had their conversation.“woah! Really, that mist have been quite an experience,” he told her, “Anyway I do not think you could get willed the properties right now, since you don’t meet the criteria,” he explained to her.“I totally understand that I am not eighteen years yet,” she uttered, “ I would be getting there by next year,” she narrated to Jeremy.“not just that though. According to your dad, you would have to be enrolled into college first before you can have his properties a little but until you graduate from col
“hey Nicole, are you going to be attending the fresher’s party?” Josephine asked her. Josephine was Nicole’s neighbor in the apartment she got , they both lodged off campus since it was much more suitable for them. The school lodges were not as spacious, neither was there any privacy.“what party?” Nicole asked her, as they sat in the living room. She was completely oblivious of what Josephine talked about.The lodge was just like an apartment with three rooms, all three occupants of each room shared the living rooms and the kitchen. It was a popular style of living for around the campus.“Damn girl, you really have no idea what Is going on. So the party is organized for the n students ew students like you, it is always fun to attend especially since it is a one time thing,” Josephine explained to Nicole, “Every year always has something unique, I haven’t missed any for the last two years,” she told Nicole. Josephine was In her third year, studying sociology.“I guess it’s a good
“but one of these days I plan on going on a walk with my roomie, she would be showing me around,” Nicole said to Peter, even if it was never on her mind before now. She seemed to take interest in this guy and she wanted to keep the conversation going. “You could come along and join us, it would be fun. The more the merrier I guess,” she added.“That would be an amazing idea, I would love that.” He replied, “maybe I could get your digits, so that we could catch up.” He suggested to her.“about that, I just got a new number entire so I don’t have it by heart but you can give me yours then I would just have to give you a call later so that you would save my contact,” she told him.“Okay, that is cool. I could just type it into your device, “ Peter said to Nicole, as he reached out to grab her phone. “That’s the iPhone 13 right?” he asked her.“Yea, I just got it a few weeks back.” She explained to him.“well I am not really into iPhones, I would prefer a Samsung galaxy to an iOS dev
Nicole told her roomie Josephine about the idea of her being their tour guide around the college, Josephine was always into those kind of things. She loved the idea, most especially since that wad the first time Nicole ever mentioned a guy's name to her.“You seem quite interested in this guy, the way you smile when you talk about him seems quite suspicious,” Josephine said to her. She gave Nicole a weird look as she talked.“Oh please Jossie, do not jump into conclusions.” Nicole advised her, “I barely met him a few days ago, he is just a friend,” she corrected.“yea… yea, that is always what we ladies always say until he is in between does cracks of yours and you are screaming on the top of your…,”“Come on, just stop it.” Nicole interrupted her, rolling her eyes like she was a bit irritated with what Josephine said. “It is going to be a harmless walk, you know what I mean. Moreover it would help me know a few places in college.” She said trying to defend herself. The more she
By the time the ladies arrived at the college park, Peter was already waiting for them. He had come a few minutes earlier than them,“You are really punctual if you ask me,” Nicole said to him.“I guess,” he replied with a grin.“So here is my friend Josephine, my neighbor also.” She pointed out.“It is nice to meet you,” Josephine replied, stretching out her hands for a friendly handshake.“Nice to meet you too,” Peter uttered, “so Nicole already told me that you would be our tour guide through out the evening,” He said to Josephine.“I guess you could call me that, anyway I must warn you that it is quite a big school so we would probably not be able to walk through every single place,” Josephine explained to them.“I got some drinks that we could have while we explored, nothing beats having soft drinks with friends.” He said, as he reached into his car and got some soda for the ladies.For the next couple of hours, all three of them walked around campus and they could only see
