2. HAPPY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Even though Nicola possessed the personality of a fig tree, her hair resembled a lion's mane. At least it usually did. Today it was pinned back and littered with pearls. She wore a black dress with red flower patterns and a sweetheart neck and her signature chain around her neck with her engagement ring on it. She wore her wedding band on her finger.She looked nice. She had the beauty to make up for her lack of personality but not to compete against her sister or mother or Natasha."You look like a doll!" Stacia gushed as she kissed both cheeks of her sister."I do feel like Chucky." Nicola said wryly. She did not like dressing up."Shut up!" Stacia laughed as she linked her arms with her sister's and dragged her towards Malcolm James, her husband."Baby!" Malcolm grinned, holding out his arms."BIL." Nicola nodded.Malcolm did not take offense at Nicola's lack of enthusiasm and hugged her tight."Where is my nephew?" Nicola asked. Rhys was the only person she really cared abo

3. DONE WITH THE ACT

Deafening chaos ensued after Nicola's unexpected statement.Nobody was really surprised about the affair even though they pretended to be. What surprised - or most certainly shocked - them was how bluntly Nicola admitted to knowing it. "What are you talking about?" Dominic hissed as he grabbed the mic from her hand and forced her to face him. "I am not having an affair!" He knew that he was screaming this to another set of deaf ears. "What makes you think I care?" Nicola chuckled wryly before repossessing the mic. "Natasha, maybe you should reattach yourself to your 'business associate'?" She air-quoted before tossing the mic back to the staff.Dominic glared at Nicola, seeing some personality in his wife for the first time and not appreciating it the teeniest bit.Nicola heaved a breath and gathered her skirt in her hands, hauling the heavy material up and hurrying down the podium.She had been daunting in her confrontation but the chronically-exhausted-with-life woman was d

4. TRY TO UNDERSTAND

"She wants a divorce?" Melanie shrieked."As she should." Maverick grunted."Dad, please. She is clearly overreacting. Dom said he has nothing to do with Natasha, right? Won't she give her own husband the benefit of doubt at least?" Benjamin was pacing the hall.The party was a flop. The charity auction that they had planned had to be canceled.'The Anniversary Mishap' was all over the internet.Benjamin could already see the stock prices plummeting."Seems like a very rational reaction to me." Maverick shrugged.As the three elders discussed amongst themselves, Dominic nursed a glass of rum in one hand and the ring his wife had left behind in the other.After all the screaming, yelling, and accusing, he was humble enough to accept that all of this was his fault.He really had hurt Natasha and strung her along if she too believed like everyone else that they had something going on.He gulped down his alcohol in one go and let out a sigh.Dominic was only looking for an intellec

5. HOOK OR CROOK

Dominic ended up passing out on the couch while Nicola got not a blink of sleep. It felt like her heart was being ripped apart when she entered the only place that held any kind of memory with the love of her life. She made a note to abuse her power and make her assistant pack her things for her because she did not want to revisit that space anymore.She got ready for work in her casual attire - PaperCloud, her publishing company, had no dress code. She didn't try to wake Dominic nor did she care that he would be late for whatever disaster was waiting for him at the company after 'The Anniversary Mishap' and scandal.She only cared about herself. Because honestly, there was nobody else out there to do that for her.Stepping out of the elevator, she raised a brow as she looked up from her phone. The open space office was empty.She checked the time. It was half past nine. She was half an hour late than her usual time. Had her people thought she would take a day off because of th

6. CLICK RETRY

"Oh my god, everyone has seen it!" Nicola screeched as she paced her office room.The new intern, Heather, had went and posted the celebration on social media and now it was trending."I would ask her to take it down but many other handles have already reposted it." Blair bit her tongue. She felt guilty - it was her job to make sure that everything went smoothly but she had forgotten to warn them not to post anything.While the rest of the team knew how much of a private person Nicola was, the new kid didn't. Not exactly a kid. She was twenty-four, two years older than her Boss. But she had not had to go through the pains of being an adult like Nicola did even before she had actually become an adult."There's no use. There's no use. EVERYONE saw me laugh and dance and play!""That's your concern?" Nicola's thirty-year-old assistant raised a brow at her.Nicola let out a deep breath and turned to her, her face neutral. "Blair.""Boss.""Go to my apartment and pack all my things

7. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

"Ask." Nicola rolled her eyes as she glanced over at George and Blair looking intently at her."Ask what?" Blair tried to be nonchalant but George elbowed her in the ribs. She winced and glared at the graphic designer before stepping forward. "Boss, the staff are concerned. You are going to give that jer-ntleman you call your husband a second chance?" Nicola blew a strand of her lion's mane away from her eyes and leaned back against her chair, turning from side to side. "Do you think I should?" "Abso-fucking-lutely not." George did not waste a second in replying. "Then why do you think I will?" Nicola wiggled her eyebrows at them. "Why put a hold on the moving out then?" Blair asked. "We can arrange you a new place if you just say the word. You don't have to stay with him. You don't have to lift a finger. We will take care of everything." "As much as I appreciate your zest, I will stay with him until the whole scandal blows over and then divorce him." She shrugged. "Why?"

8. SORT OUT YOUR PRIORITIES

Dominic was late.It was all her fault.Dominic hopped on one leg as he put on his shoe, stumbling into the open space kitchen where his wife sat, having a breakfast of oatmeal, cut fruits, and a disgustingly green smoothie."Good morning." She said with her poker face intact, but he thought he saw a corner of her lips twitch, just a bit.The couple used to wake up to Nicola's alarm. Dominic had not kept one out of habit and she had not shown the courtesy to wake him up either. Bitch.Then again, why should she?He was her estranged husband, not her child."What is this?" He grabbed the smoothie and without waiting for a response gulped it down."UGH!" He placed the glass down on the breakfast aisle with a bang. "That's disgusting. What was that?" He asked again."My health smoothie for estrogen balance." Nicola fought to keep her face neutral as she watched her husband's face morph into absolute horror."You might end up growing boobs overnight." She shrugged nonchalantly."Pl

9. SO MUCH FOR EFFORTS

Natasha watched intently as Dominic restlessly played with the fork."Don't worry about it," She spoke up. "I made sure that no one would find out we are here together." She had reserved a private room."Which makes it all the worse, doesn't it?" He asked. "It's as if we are actually doing something we shouldn't be."Natasha tsked. "Don't think so negatively, Dom. I know I stepped out of line, but we are still friends, right? And friends are allowed to have lunch together. No matter how the insecure wives react."Dominic looked up. "Don't do that.""Do what?""Make this Nicola's fault.""Do you have a soft corner towards her now?" Natasha tried to modulate her tone but she failed miserably as her voice came out shrill and bordering on hysterical."She is my wife," Dominic said. "I think she should be my priority.""You don't even mean that." Natasha scoffed. "I get what you are trying to do, Dom. You found out about my feelings for you and now find our situation awkward. So you

10. DINNER GONE WRONG

"What are you doing here?" Nicola looked up from where she had deliberately placed herself on the couch in the living room. It was seven in the evening and it was usually the time for her to curl up in her bed to watch some Chinese drama but today, she had a point to prove - that her husband was an idiot. "Should I have moved out or something?" She scooped up some fruit salad into her mouth as she went back to the script she was revising. Dominic rolled his eyes. "You know that's not what I meant." "Isn't it?" Nicola yawned as she typed into her laptop. Dominic walked over to her side and sat down next to her. "Are you working on a new book?" "No. I am going through the script of Good Cop, Bad Cop." She said, closing the computer when her husband tried to take a peek. "Very confidential script.""How confidential can it be?" Dominic laid back on the couch. "I know the entire book down pat." And yet he had no idea it was his wife who had written the book. "There will be c
