Nicole Avant Book Novels & Stories

Nicole went through her books, shaking each one to see if anything fell out from between the pages. "Nothing," Nicole sighed after forty minutes, sitting back on her heels. Her face was flushed with frustration. "It’s all just... training. Schedules, books, novels, etiquette guides. It’s like she didn't have a life outside of being a perfect traineee." "That's the problem, isn't it?" I replied, kneeling by the head of the bed. "Gianna was a snitch because she followed rules. People like that don't just break the ultimate rule and kill themselves without a reason."

Left to Aaron and I, we don't even want to leave but Nicole also made a reservation for seven and I don't want to waste her money and effort. "Wow Asher, your girlfriend is amazing and I am so glad that I decided to spend the day with you." He said excitedly but even if he didn't show up at my place today, I would have called him after I got the ticket. It has been both our dream to visit this place, so there is no way I would have done this alone. "You can say that again man, Nicole is really special. I mean I can't remember the last time I had so much fun, this was really fun and to think she booked the entire space for us, that's crazy." I am beyond amazed by what she was able to organize

Her voice rose, and I saw Brad flinch slightly. “I dare you to continue speaking ill of me,” Bianca added, her tone low and dangerous, “and I wouldn’t mind saying the unimaginable.” That was when my chest tightened. Because I knew exactly what she meant bug before I could respond, another voice cut in. “Excuse me.” Nicole said and we both turned. “I need to be going now,” she said calmly. She didn’t look at Bianca. She didn’t look at me either. She walked closer to Brad’s bed, her movements controlled and careful.

"You are sly, a seductress, and a total daredevil, Nicole. I didn't know that an unknown man who gave you a child would break you apart." "Unknown man?" She frowned at me, she was probably starting to be suspicious about my cluelessness. "Are you high or something?" "No." Shaking her head negatively, she lay down beside me and went undercover. "Uh-- what are you doing?" "A ritual," she replied before lying on her stomach. "But you have your bedroom." But just a few seconds later, Monica's already snoring like an elephant. "Wow, it's good to have a sister," I mumbled.

"And ensure the girl receives the message through her friend Beatrice. Xavier must not be told. The tea room was empty, as I had bought out the reservations for the afternoon. The scent of dried lavender and old wood did not cover the damp chill of the rainy season. Nichole sat opposite me. She wore a cheap woolen coat that was damp at the hem, and her hair was tied back roughly. She looked exhausted, her face pale under the low lights, but she did not look down at the tablecloth as she had during the engagement party. She kept her chin up and her fingers loosely interlaced over her lap. "You look thin, Nichole," I said, keeping my tone perfectly conversational as I poured the tea. "This env

It was too much to take in. Right now, at this point, Nicole scared the shit out of me. It is as if she is an entirely different person from the woman I used to know. The girl who used to take everything I dished out without complaining was gone, replaced by someone brilliant, calculating, and cold enough to pull off a massive deception right under my nose. She had outmaneuvered me at every single turn without breaking a sweat. It was terrifying to realize what she was truly capable of when backed into a corner. I didn't just lose her years ago; I completely underestimated her.

37. **Author's POV** 2 DAYS LATER… Nicole stood in front of the building of Twilight Magazines with Emily, her heart beating rapidly in her chest. After getting accepted by them, she was asked to come for a talk with the manager today and boy was she nervous. Nervous because she didn't want what happened with Mr. Luther to repeat itself here. She didn't believe in giving her body out to them for them to promote or give her a job — she loved being fair and that's what contributed to her success, before Mr. Stark destroyed it, of course.

“I was in the area. Thought I would pop in and see if they had anything less ugly than Sandra’s taste. Clearly, I stumbled into… this.” She gestured between me and Micah, her brows rising. Micah smirked. “You have great timing, sweetheart. Another thirty seconds and you’d have walked in on…” “Finish that sentence,” Nicole snapped, dropping her bag onto the floor with a thud, “and I will strangle you with one of these overpriced silk ties.” I buried my face in my hands. “Please do not strangle anyone in a boutique.” Nicole crossed her arms, her glare locked on Micah like she was ready to launch him through the nearest window. “He does not need more complications, Duvall. He already has enough

"No matter how beautiful you are. Sexy, or even superior in bed, I bet Alex will still choose me. Why? Because no matter what, Alex can surely distinguish between who he can make a home with, a place to return to. And who the trash is that he should throw away." Nicole was heartbroken beyond words. How could her pretty self be compared to trash by her own cousin? Unwilling to accept all the insults Aurora hurled, Nicole was determined to retaliate. She had one last way to silence Aurora and snatch her cousin's husband away from her. That's why, without any hesitation, after encountering Aurora in the mini-market, Nicole decided to immediately go somewhere. Anyway, today she had to report and

I glanced at the glass wall and saw Nicole pulling her phone from her bag, reading a text, and then I heard her say, "I know it’s a bit awkward to ask on my first day, but is it okay if I… if I request an advance payment?" I scoffed, my jaw tensed, and my gaze turned icy as I shot a look at Mr. Griffith. I knew it! She always had a way of using her charm to get what she wanted. She wouldn’t be able to keep up the act for long before her true self showed. Nicole was still the same woman who had slipped into my bed at the casino, taking advantage of men whenever it suited her. "I’ll call you once I’ve gone through your proposal in detail," I said abruptly, standing up and buttoning my jacket.
