***MIRABELLA'S POV***

I slowly opened my eyes and was greeted by three familiar faces, Mom, Roman and Lola.

“What happened?” I asked slowly as I tried to sit up. Roman helped me up immediately.

“You almost gave me a heart attack, that's what happened.” Mom said, her tone was a bit harsh with a mix of sadness in them.

“I told you to take it easy, ma'am. The test results are not out yet but I'm certain you collapsed from exhaustion.” Lola said with a sad expression.

At that moment, the door came open and the doctor walked in.

“How are you feeling, Ms. Brookwood?” He asked with a warm smile.

“I feel fine doctor. Can I get discharged today?”

“Of course but can you tell us what happened before you collapsed?” He asked while staring at me keenly.

“I had a killer headache and the next thing I knew I was waking up here.” I replied and he hummed a response.

“What's your sleeping routine? Do you work late hours?” He asked and I slowly bobbed my head.

    ***LOGAN'S POV***I stared at my phone for a while waiting for her response but then it became obvious she wasn't going to respond. I let out a soft chuckle as I placed the phone on the table and leaned back on my chair.“Mirabella Brookwood, you still remain a mystery to me.” I said while tapping my fingers on the table. I heard a slight knock on the door and then it got pulled open, revealing my right hand man, Eduardo.“Boss, I have the information you requested.” He said as he made his way to my table and placed an envelope on it.“Wonderful.” I said with a smile as I opened the envelope and brought out the documents and the attached photos.“Easton was able to secure a huge partnership with Hillgates Company and Delta G's chats have skyrocketed ever since then. Also, his ex-wife was present during the trip and it seems they've been spending a lot of time together too.” He explained as I glanced through the photos.“It does appear so. The kid seems really attached to Easton too.”

    ***NICOLE'S POV***I clicked my glass with Charlotte's before taking a sip. We were celebrating my successful mission in tying Easton down to me. “I knew you had it in you. Now all you have to do is make the public aware. The Grey family cares a lot about their reputation. Once you make it known that you're carrying his child, his parents would have no other choice but to let you two get married.” Charlotte said with a knowing grin and I smiled in satisfaction.“And then once we're married, I can fake having a miscarriage and win Easton's sympathy once more. We'll eventually have another baby along the way but even before then, I'll officially be Mrs. Nicole Grey.” I beamed and sipped my wine, letting out a soft giggle.The thought of finally being married to Easton, I just couldn't wait!But now here comes the hard part, getting the news online. “How do you suggest I go public with our relationship?” I turned to Charlotte with a curious gaze.“It's simple, have him invite you to a

We are seated at the balcony of my room, under the night sky. I had called him over as I needed someone to talk to, more like vent to cause I felt angry, frustrated and heartbroken at the same time.I heard about Mirabella's father's accident and went over to see him after work but they didn't let me in. I even got to learn from one of the maids that Mirabella had collapsed that same day.I was so worried that I had to see her but they said I was the cause of her stress. Mrs. Martha wouldn't even look me in the eyes anymore, it's like she hates me now for constantly hurting her daughter.Roman gave me a clear warning to stay away from her. I could vividly remember our encounter.***FLASHBACK***I rushed out of the car and walked over to the front porch, ringing the doorbell somewhat de

I couldn't understand why I was nervous, this is all I had ever wanted and though I knew it wasn't really a real date, just the thought of spending some alone time with her gave me hope.I heard footsteps approaching and slowly turned towards the stairs and there she was, descending the stairs ever so gracefully, her red heels clicking against the fine blocks.I couldn't take my eyes off her no matter how hard I tried, and it felt like the world had been placed on stand still, leaving only Mirabella and me. She wore a breathtaking, off-the-shoulder red gown made of high quality silk. The vibrant red color was deep and rich, exuding elegance and sophistication. Her neckline was adorned with an emerald red necklace, adding a touch contract. I smiled brightly as I stared at her gorgeous face which had light makeup on it. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen and the hard pounding

I asked with a perplexed expression. “I was just reminding you about your three O'clock meeting with Mr. Alex Chain from Hillgates Company.” Emma replied and I bobbed my head. “Let me know when it's three then.” I responded and she pressed her lips into a thin line. “What is it?” I asked when I noticed she wasn't moving. “It's already three, Sir. I came to remind you of the meeting.” She stated rather hesitantly and I gave her a faint smile. “Oh is that so? I'll be there shortly.” I said and she bobbed her head before leaving my office. I let out a frustrated sigh as I tugged at my hair roughly. I have been zoning out more often these days and I didn't want that to be too obvious. I just couldn't stop myself from thinking about Mirabella and how to make things right between us. I was also worried about her health so far. Was she alri

He isn't fully recovered yet but he's a lot better than before. “Yes, I wanted both of you to be present.” I responded and they nodded. “So, what is it?” Dad asked. I let out a soft sigh before responding. “I was thinking of getting my own apartment and moving in with Alfred...” I paused to observe their reaction and noticed they both had small frowns on their faces. “But sweetheart, we don't mind having you here with us. You know that right?” Mom asked with a sad expression. “Of course I know that mom, and I don't mind staying with you guys either. I just need my own space for now. Alfred can come visit whenever he wants and you can also come see us whenever.” I responded with a reassuring smile and dad let out a sigh. “Why do I have the feeling that you've already decided this and we can't persuade you otherwise?” “That's because I have, dad.

How could I have been so careless and not seen this coming?! “If you keep breaking my burner phones I might stop giving them to you.” I turned around to see Logan standing by the door.“You knew I was going to get caught that day, didn't you?” I asked through gritted teeth.“Nothing gets past me, Nicole. I already knew Easton was on your tail. I just wanted you to see for yourself that your beloved Easton doesn't give a shit about you.” He responded nonchalantly and I clenched my fist in anger.“Then why didn't you warn me?! It's all your fault that Easton is back with that woman!” I yelled and he let out a scoff.“It's also thanks to me that you're standing here right now and not behind bars.” Logan said and his gaze suddenly darkened. “Don't make me regret my little act of kindness.” He added, his pl

Was he doing this just to keep Easton away or did he really mean it?“Roman,”“You don't have to answer right away. Just think about, and whichever answer you give me, I'll accept it.” Roman said with a reassuring smile as he held my hands and gave them a gentle squeeze.“Roman if you're doing this because of Easton then you don't have to. I can take care of myself, and I'm not going to let Easton hurt me anymore. You don't have to tie yourself down to me simply because you want to protect me, you've already helped me a lot.” I responded and he seemed thoughtful for a while before responding.“Right, of course you can. I'm sorry if that was too forward.” He said before standing up from the bed.“Roman,”“You don't have to say anything or feel bad, Mirabella. This doesn't change anything between us.

I placed them on the table and brought out a bottle of banana milk from the fridge before going back to join them in the living room.

What possible excuse could she have that would make me think otherwise of the situation?“Then go ahead and tell me, Nicole. Tell me what it looks like other than you trying to murder your own flesh and blood!” I snapped, unable to keep my anger in check.“Sir, we will have the patient moved now.” One of the nurses said as they both helped Broody onto the wheelchair, then exited the room, leaving just Nicole and myself.“That man is not for father! He abandoned me for his own selfish desires!” Nicole responded as she pointed at the exit as though Broody was there. Her eyes were teary and her tone was filled with rage, all directed towards Broody.“Is that why you tried to kill him? Because he abandoned you? Is that also why you've been sending him money behind my back for years?” I asked coldly, ignoring her tears. I won't be fooled by her pity act anymore.“Th
