***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.

    ***ROMAN'S POV***I nervously rubbed my hands together as I awaited Mirabella in the living room. 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

It reminded me of the day I got kidnapped by Logan's men.I was tempted to call Easton and warn him against Logan but his threats stopped me every time. I never got to find out about his history with Easton and why he hated the Grey family so much but I knew that he was back for his revenge. He had been silent all these while, and I had almost forgotten about him.I can't just let him ruin my plans. If he hurts Easton before we're married, then it'll be over.

    ***EASTON'S POV*** “Sir, are you listening?” Emma's voice snapped me out of my trance and I shifted my gaze to her. "Sorry what were you saying?" 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.

I had asked Logan for help in taking care of Broody and he asked me to meet up with someone in this location. I came here as told and met with a masked man whom I assumed was one of Logan's men since they always made sure to hide their faces. “As long as you follow all procedures. We were able to get your father's check up routine. A nurse comes to his ward three times everyday, four times during the weekend to take him out for fresh air. They keep the wheelchair in the store at the end of the underground hallway.” The man explained and I nodded. “So how am I going to get into the hospital without being noticed? I'm certain those nurses would recognize me the moment I cross those doors.” I said with a frown. “There's a wig in that bag as well to hide your hair. Keep the mask on at all tim

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

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.

    ~ALFRED~ I wanted to go after her, to pull her back into my arms where she belongs, but my legs suddenly became immobile. Her words struck me hard and the pain in my chest was excruciating. I have never felt this way before, this broken. I couldn't understand why she was pushing me away when it was obvious she was in love with me. I could tell it was difficult for her to do this, I could see the hesitation and regret in her eyes but she tried to cover it up. As I stared at her retreating figure, all I could think about was the question, why? Where did I go wrong? Was it the picnic? Did I go overboard with it? Or should I have waited until her birthday to actually surprise her? Did I unknowingly pressure her into being with me that she had no other choice than to reject me? What exactly did I do and how can I fix it? I scoffed at the question. Fix it? There's obviously nothing to fix anymore. I could try to make up a million excuses as to why she did what she did, but it all

I could see the golden rays of the setting sun dancing across the surface of the lake. Alfred took my hand, leading me to a small picnic set that was nestled beside the water's edge.“Alfred,” I called out softly, lost for words.“I wanted to surprise you." He said, his smile warming my heart.I looked out over the picturesque landscape, admiring the serenity of the water, the beauty of the flowers, and the way the sun cast its golden light over everything.“But I thought this place was restricted since the accident two years ago?” I asked in a slightly worried tone.This lake was located behind the school and students often came here in the past to party or just

What did I do to deserve such a heavy punch?” Gabriel asked with a smirk and I could already image the smokes coming out of Alfred's ears as he shot Gabriel a death glare.“Baby, you didn't have to hit him. It's obvious him and Sandy has something going on.” Natasha said with a pitiful gaze and I glared at her.If eyes could shoot lasers, she'd be six feet under the ground by now.“Are you alright?” I asked Gabriel worriedly and he bobbed his head as he pulled me close and wrapped his hand around my waist.“What? Am I not allowed to kiss my girlfriend?” Gabriel

What's wrong?” “Nothing's wrong. I shouldn't even care, I mean I'm the one who pushed him away so I should not care whether or not he hangs with his new girlfriend or fiance or whatever!” I blurted out all at once, breathing heavily and Hailey stared at me in shock.“Okay, back up a little. What on earth or who on earth are you talking about?” She asked as she led me to the school's garden and we sat on the bench.I took in a deep breath before responding.“Alfred got engaged and —”“Wait what?!” Hailey exclaimed, cutting me off.“It's kind of a long story.”“That you need to tell me now! How did this happen?” She asked and I narrated everything to her.“That jerk! How could he get over you so fast after a love confession?!” Hailey snapped and I sighed.“I guess I should have just stayed

    ~SANDY~I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces as I watched Alfred leave my room. The look in his eyes told me he was hurt. I had hurt him, and in doing so I had hurt myself as well.I wiped off the tears that had blurred my vision as I made my way to the bed and tucked myself in. I just wanted to sleep and forget this dreadful feeling but the pain in my chest couldn't even let me close my eyes.I kept telling myself I had done the right thing, and he would eventually get over it but then the thought of him actually being with another lady made me feel sick to my stomach.“It was for the best. I'll feel better when I wake up.” I said to myself and forced my eyes shut, pushing all thoughts of Alfred at the back of my mind. By the time I opened my eyes again, it was already morning.I took a quick shower and changed into a baggy white pants, with a black long sleeve t-shirt to match. I tied my hair up into a high ponytail, then grabbed my bag and walked out of my room. I bumped

Mr. Flynn is the President of The Drew Special Care center and also a very good friend of mine.” Dad explained and I walked up to Mr. Flynn and offered my hand to him. “It's nice to meet you, Mr. Flynn.” I said with a slight smile and he nodded as we shook hands. My gaze met with his daughter and I found her a bit familiar but quickly looked away and made my way to the chair next to dad. “We finally meet again, Alfred.” She said with a smile and I furrowed my brows a bit. I did find her familiar but I had no idea where I had met her before. “You two know each other?” Mr. Flynn asked and she bobbed her head. “Alfred and I met during the JFK business orientation.” She responded and it finally hit me. “Oh you both met on the

Sandy are you alright?!” I flinched a bit when I suddenly heard Mrs. Mirabella's voice and the look of horror on her face finally brought my back to my senses. “Oh no!” I gasped on seeing the shattered glasses and wine bottle on the floor. “I'm so sorry.” I quickly bent down to pick them up. “No, Sandy don't!” Mrs. Mirabella warned but it was already too late as the first glass I touched, made a big cut on my hand. I winced as I retracted my hand and Mrs. Mirabella raised me up immediately, staring at my bleeding hand. “What were you thinking, Sandy?!” She scolded as she dragged me away from the broken glass. She quickly removed the scarf she had used to tie her hair up, and wrapped it around my hand to stop the bleeding. “Go wait for me in your room, I'll clean this up first so no one else gets hurt, and then I'll dress your wound.” She instructed and the look on her face told me there was no room for argument, and so I bobbed my head and slowly went u

I wasn't complaining though, I couldn't wait to finally be the one holding the scalpel. “Hey girl, how did your observation class go?” I smiled the moment I saw Hailey walking up to me. “All surgeries performed today were successful with no complications.” I responded and she bobbed her head then sat next to me. “That's good to hear.” “What about you?” I asked and she sighed. “A two year old boy was rushed in today. Poor thing had a bacterial infection and vomited everything he ate.” She responded and I widened my eyes in shock. “Oh my goddess, is he okay?” I asked worriedly and she bobbed her head slightly. “He'll be fine. He was prescribed some antibiotics, and with proper care, he'll be fine. I just felt sad seeing him cry so much.” Hailey responded and I smiled softly. She has alway

I had to be at the clinic today and so I quickly put on a denim jean skirt and matching jacket, tied my hair up in a neat bun and strapped my bag on before heading downstairs.“Good morning.” I froze the moment I saw Alfred in the kitchen.“W-what are you doing?” I stuttered, trying to keep my eyes on his face but the dude was shirtless! And not to mention his wet hair which lapped on his forehead, making him look smoking hot.My goodness it was too early for my panties to get soaked!Get your head out of the gutter, Sandra. This isn't the first time you've seen him shirtless.I tried to stay focused but my damn eyes betrayed me as it immediately dropped down to Alfred's rock hard biceps and eight pack abs.Stop staring!
