Nicole closed her eyes as more tears kept streaming down her cheeks. She wanted to storm out of the premises, but her legs felt like they did not want to move. The humiliation was too heavy on her.Some guests began to leave the premises, while those who enjoyed gossip lingered, waiting to see what would happen.Nera and Marcus moved to where Nicole and Agness were standing."Tomorrow you will both be saved with a lawsuit. We already have a confession from Greg that you were behind the nasty allegations," Marcus announced."What? What are you stupid!" Agness yelled at him."The stupid fools in here are you two who decided to come after my family!" He warned her."No, I did not. Direct the stupid lawsuit to this slut!" Agness replied, pointing at Nicole.Nicole finally raised her eyes, staring straight into her mother-in-law's eyes."She planned everything and circulated those photos, claiming your wife was cheating and not me!" Agness defended herself. "That's none of our business, f
The days that followed were hell for Nicole, with a lawsuit from Marcus and divorce papers from Greg, who refused to meet up with her and was denying her any time with her son.She admitted she was not a good mother but he had no right to deny her visitation to her child. From being married into one of the most prominent families in Texas, she was reduced to renting a cheap room at a motel and eating out of a box.She had nothing and not a penny to her name. She had lived a life of luxury thanks to the checks that her mother-in-law was always getting from her son, and the two would shop until they were dry with nothing to save.She never thought a day would come when she would be thrown on the streets. She had always been careful about sleeping around and no one had a clue. But thanks to stupid Nera and her husband, she lost everything.To make matters worse, she would spend all the money she was getting from the mayor on useless things. If that was not enough, the stupid mayor was y
Nera stared at the woman she once called her best friend, straight in the eyes without flinching. She knew she was supposed to be on her knees and begging for her life, but she did not feel like it. Begging meant giving her power to grout over her death once she was dead. So she chose to look the woman who had come to kill her straight in the eyes without fear."Get on your knees!" Nicole yelled"Why don't you shoot and make me?" Nera asked, further infuriating Nicole."Please Nicole…think about your son," one of the women tried to pump some sense into her, but Nicole pointed the gun at her and asked her to shut up. The woman quickly covered her face and looked away."If anyone talks, they will be the first to go to hell before that stupid bitch in front!" She warned them and turned, moving closer.Nera kept staring at her without moving."You thought we were going to have a happy ending?""No, I thought you were going to have a miserable ending," Nera replied. "Three years ago you
A week passed, and Nicole was officially charged with attempted murder. The charge came as a relief to her, knowing she had not killed Greg. Her lawyer, on a pro bono basis, assured her he was doing fine and recovering.That was all that mattered at the moment, as she was slowly trying to accept her fate.The guard walked into her cell and informed her she had a visitor. She looked up at her in confusion. She could not think of anyone who would visit her.She was led to the visiting room, where Agness walked in.She looked away disappointed, knowing the woman was there to grout."The chains and orange suit you," Agness stated in a serious tone."What do you want?""I just came to inform you that I made a deal with Marcus Rashwell to testify against you for the fake rumors," she announced.Nicole kept staring at her."Not only will you get years for trying to kill my son, but I'll make sure you get more years for the fake news," Agness explained with a smile.Nicole closed her eyes, tr
A vacation that was termed an "emergency vacation" for some days turned into a month-long vacation for Nera and Marcus. At first, she did not like the idea of staying longer than they planned after what they left in Texas, but as the days went on, she began enjoying her new Florida beach life.Marcus had secretly taken her to his secret beach house without telling anyone except for the driver where they were.He had a high beach house that was only minutes away from the beach. The swimming, the long walks on the beach, and the sunbathing became Nera's normal routine and she was enjoying itThe sun was perfect for her pregnancy, and every time she felt morning sickness or woke up fatigued, she would take small walks on the beach, lay a mat and an umbrella, and sunbathe the whole day just like a princess, Marcus used to call her.Eventually, she stopped asking about when they were going to go back and embraced the new life on the beach.She was left with no option but to step away from
Nera moved to where Marcus was applying lotion on the baby and picked up the lotion bottle. She looked up at her husband, whose skin was starting to pale up."Oooh, my God, Marcus, are you okay?" Nera asked worriedly.She quickly took the baby away and placed him on his bed while Marcus took a seat on the bed."Did you break something? Oh, is it your blood pressure?" Nera began panicking.Marcus quickly held her hands, "Calm down, I am fine. I think I just pulled a muscle," he lied.Nera paused and hit his back. "I warned you to stop carrying Sam on your back!" She stated and walked to finish dressing Sam."Ouch! Did you have to hit me?" Marcus asked."Because you do not listen, I have been warning you, but you never listen to me," she said, rolling her eyes at him.She finished with the toddler and took him to the playroom, where he was eager to play with his toys.She walked back to the room and sat next to her husband. "How is the back?" She asked"Fine, I will take some rest," he
Marcus held his brow, closing his eyes as he tried to calm his anger. He saw predicted from the beginning that the pregnancy issue was going to turn into an obsession the second she mentioned she wanted to be pregnant.The hell from four years ago was back to hunt him, and he knew she was not going to stop until she fell into depression.He quickly held her hands and said, "Stop this nonsense now! Stop it! You promised Nera, you promised!" He yelled at her.Nera pushed at him, freeing her hands."Sam is not feeling well. We have a son, Nera, and his name is Sam!" He yelled at the top of his voice. "Do you care about him?" He asked.Nera looked away as tears began dropping down her cheeks. "You are slowly digging yourself a hole, and this time I am not sure we will survive it," he stated, storming out of the room.Nera dropped to the ground, more tears falling.She had tried to stop but could not help herself. She wanted to be pregnant, and she was going to make sure of it. The idea o
Marcus felt a sting in his chest as he took small breaths. Every word from the doctor's mouth felt like a huge ball with thorns tied to a chain that was being used to hit his chest.His wealth and empire were solely derived from 90% dairy animals and products. His future heir was supposed to be hands-on with the business, but the doctor recommended that they cut all dairy products from his diet and make sure he was miles away from dairy animals.Nera turned to look at her husband, whose face was as red as a ripe tomato. As much as she wanted to scold him, she couldn't. She knew what a blow the news was to Marcus, who had been trying to train the boy into loving the family business and owning it one day.She turned again to face the doctor and asked, "Is there a cure? How can he be allergic to both animals and the product?""There is medicine to lessen the severity of the allergy reaction, but I would recommend he be kept away from animals," the doctor replied.Nera held Marcus's hand
