Chapter 5 :You killed my baby!"

Nicole  return from school feeling tired but happy. After her father's death Tristan allowed her to attend face to face classes on her final year. Classes are almost over and she was able to fulfill the requirements for her graduation.

She was quite uncertain why she always felt tired and  drain out. She walk  to Tristan study to show her invitation for him to attend her graduation as her guardian as a sign of gratitude.

"I want you to get rid of that woman." Samantha told Tristan.

"Sam honey, I'm afraid that's difficult. Grandpa wouldn't allow it."

"Babe is this your house or not? Bedsides I don't want to come here knowing that anytime I will be confronted of what is my business here."

"Who will do that?"

"Your grandfather already confronted me with that. He wants that insolent girl you married to fulfill  her duties as your wife. Then what will become of me you promised, remember?"

"You will always be the love of my life your place is with me." He reassured her 

"Babe you know, I am not your legal wife. In fact when you marry that woman  I became your mistress." Samantha passionately appealed to her lover. There was silence that Nicole waited with abated breathe of what his reaction might be.

"Then I guess you have to move out." He said finally.

"Tristan why do I have to move out?" 

"Because you cannot stay here while grandpa is here! And he will be here to look at how things between me and Nicole."

"Don't you realized that you are grown enough to make your own decisions without your family meddling.t's about time for you to fight for me to your family!" She insisted.

"My grandfather is the only family I had left. He cannot be upset because of his heart condition." He reasoned out.

"So I have to give in, I always have been the last of your priorities Tristan what do you take me for?"

"Sam please understand."

"No I'm leaving!  But this time you have to set your priorities straight. Me or your family. I'm not getting younger anymore I am tired of waiting on the sidelines for you!" Samantha walks out grudgingly.

"Sam, darling please!" Samantha played hard to get to just to increased her chances with Tristan giving in to her whims.

Tristan pulled her to him and landed his lips in her lover.

Nicole was hesitant to enter when she heard that there were voices inside. She was even more surprised when the door suddenly opened, revealing  Tristan and Samantha in a compromise position.

"What are you doing here?" Tristan confronted her her,  memory flash back the first time they met in the parking lot. Tristan also recalled the same situation.

"So that's where the first time I saw you! You treacherous woman you have been always tried to hook me up!"

"What are you talking about?" She is confused with the accusations.

"You send those  scandalous photos in the parking lot in an effort to extort money."

"Wait a minute Mr Hewitt before you hurl accusations on me, hear me out. One I don't need to extort money from you I have more than enough for my needs. Two I didn't took pictures. It must be someone who have interest once those  photos will be exposed. Lastly I don't know you then, nor do I have interest on your affairs not now nor before!"

In her anger she turn away and left them.with Tristan wondering who is responsible for those photos that almost create a stir in his life.

 Nicole thought that after her outburst they will leave them alone but how wrong can she be. Alone in her room, Samantha suddenly showed up.

"What are you doing here?" She asked the other woman. Feeling  pissed off.

"What do you think?"

"If it is to remind that  I should know my place in Tristan's life?  Don't waste your breathe?"

"Do you think I cannot read  through your actions that you wanted to have his attention!" Samantha was angered that after Nicola left them she wasn't able to get back to where they started before they were disturb.. Tristan dismissed her as well and lock the study room.

"I suppose, you read to much  Miss Gray."

"Are you trying to humour me?"

"That was far from my intention." She replied. She herself getting hired of this comfrontation.

"You! Don't you ever think that the amount of money your father invested in Tristan's company. Will buy your place in his heart!"

"Then that's a reason for you to celebrate!"

"You insolent girl!" Samantha wasn't able to contain her anger and slapped Nicole .Shocked from the assault no one has ever lay a hand  on her before she retaliated by dismissing the other woman.

"Get out of my room!  You don't have the right to bully me in my place!"  She gently show shove the other woman out of the room but she was shocked that Samantha sprawled herself on the floor  that's how Tristan found them.

"What is the meaning of this?"

"Babe she pushed me after she slapped me."Samantha cried.

"What I did nothing of that sort. In the contrary..."

"Ouch babe it hurts... Ahhh help!" Nicole's declaration was cut off by  Samantha's cry for help. She was so surprised to see blood oozing from her legs.

"Ouch my baby!..."  Nicola felt guilty and afraid.

"She is pregnant? I didn't do anything believe me."

"Look what have you done. Is there no end to your pestering my life. You are ruining my life! Get out of my sight." Tristan lift Samantha and call out the driver to drive them to the hospital.

He was unaware of the triumphant smile even in pain  Samantha hide behind him.

When they left Nicole didn't know what to do she is sure the force she use to shove the other woman is not enough to cause the damage she is accused of. She even saw the smile that the other woman made.

She was shocked when the maid to the room and put her things on the suitcase. "Why?" was all she said.

"I'm sorry Nicole the boss ordered. He said he doesn't want to see you or your things when he return." The maid explained.

"But..." She wanted to voice out her side, but she changes her mind knowing it's useless. She want to address her concerns directly to Tristan and refuse to leave unless she will be able to speak to him.

Her wishes was granted when Tristan came home the next day. But contrary to what she wanted, he never gave her the chance to defend herself.

"Get out of my house, of my life. I have given you the chance to be my wife, but what have you done? You killed my baby!"

"I did not..."

"What are you waiting for? Don't make me file charges against you. I want you out of my life, don't ever show your face here or in this city!" Tristan dragged her out of the mansion her things  followed. 

She cried for the injustice she had recieved. The rain started to fall in unison with her tears. She look back at the place that have a symbol of her safety but also as her prison.  She dragged her suitcase walking out of the gates.

A taxi was waiting for her. Maybe one of the maids call it for her. She return to her own home.  Ginger's mouth hang in disbelief as she saw the appearance of her ward.

"Goodness Nyx what happened?" She told her everything that occurred in Tristan's mansion.

"What a snake he had the gull to accused you of killing the fruit of his betrayal when he should be guilty of cheating on your marriage!" 

"It was just because they were lovers before we married that I didn't mind  but being accused as a baby killer is just too much Ginger. But then I am a bit glad that I was able to get out of his prison like situation." She consoles herself despite the pain.

But the next morning Nicole and Ginger was surprised to see uniformed men in there doorstep.

End of the flashback.
