NICOLE'S POV I had a really long day, sometimes Nicholas can just decide to be a handful for no good reason just like today. He created a big scene and he put everyone in frenzy because of an assignment from school.If I am being honest, I am already exhausted and I should be sleeping in my bed right now but I can't. I promised Asher that I will be back, so I just have to go back. It's not fair to just leave him hanging... So after Nicholas was calm enough, I picked out a few clothes for myself and then I left for Asher's house, I am confident that he will already be sleeping by now.Luckily for me, his house is not too far away. I walked into his house quietly so that I don't disturb him, his door was left unlocked and I don't know if he left it unlocked for me or if this is how he usually leaves it. I locked the door after I got in and I tiptoed onto the bedroom."So cute." I whispered to myself when I saw him sleeping on the bed like a baby. I quietly changed my clothes into my bl
ASHER'S POV I heard a knock on the door just as I was pouring myself a drink and I wonder if Nicole forgot something because she left about five minutes or so."Did you forget something?" I asked immediately I opened the door but instead of seeing Nicole, I saw Aaron.It's really weird finding Aaron by the door, I can't remember the last time he knocked before entering my house. He has never bothered to knock before, so I wonder what this is about."What's going on man, when did you start knocking?" I asked curiously as I made my way back to the kitchen to grab another glass for him."Well you are not completely alone anymore, Nicole might be around. So I have to respect your privacy now." He pointed out and I am in shock, I never imagined that I would hear him say something like that."That's good of you but she's not around right now, she just left. I even thought that she was the one at the door when I heard the knock." I pointed out as he followed me to the living room and I pour
ASHER'S POV I woke up the next day to my phone ringing. "Arghhh, my head hurts." I shouldn't have followed Aaron to the bar... I had too much to drink thanks to him and now I will have to deal with this hang over but thankfully I will be seeing Nicole later in the evening, so that's enough time to nurse my hangover.I changed my position as I tried to sleep again but my phone started ringing again. "Oh nooo, I just want to sleep." I said as I felt the bed around for my phone. I checked the caller ID and it says my trouble maker."Hi babe, good morning." I said as soon as I picked the call."Good morning? Are you serious?" She asked and I wonder what the problem is?"Yes good morning, is something wrong?" I asked curiously."Come on Asher, please don't tell me you are still sleeping. It's afternoon already, does that mean you have not started getting ready to come." She pointed out and my eyes immediately flew to the clock on the wall.It's says it two o'clock and here I am thinking i
ASHER'S POV I followed the address till I got to the last house on the street, scratch that, I mean last mansion on the street. "What the hell, am I really at the right place." I asked myself as I checked the address again just to make sure that I am in front of the same house number that she sent. "Wow." I said when I confirmed that I am at the right place.I drove to the front of the gate and I inputted the passcode she sent to me on the keypad by the gate and as soon as it was done, the heavy metal gate automatically swang open by itself and I am in awe of the sight before me."Holy shit." I cursed as I drove in and saw the long private driveway with beautiful flowers surrounding it, it's almost like I am driving into a garden. The fresh air smelling of the outdoors, like flowers and fresh-cut grass. "Damn this is beautiful." I finally saw the mansion in a distance."Oh my goodness, this is luxurious." I said as I got to the building itself, it's modern and it has large glass wind
NICOLE'S POV I woke up the next morning to an empty bed and I wonder where Asher is, it was really fun having him here. Nicholas and Betty loves him and it made him so happy because Nicholas hardly likes people.I was about to call Asher's phone when I heard him open the bathroom door and stepped out with my towel around his waist. "So sexy." I gushed as I orgled at his sexy wet body. Sexy never gets old or boring with him, just the way I like it. My body still tingles when I remember how many orgasms I had last night and I don't have a problem jumping him again right now but I have to get ready for work, it's my first day back. "You are up early." I noted."Yeah, I need to get to the prison. My vacation is over, it's Monday already." Yeah that's true, he has been on break even before I got out of jail. I am sure it's weird for him to go there knowing that I am not there."Yes that's true, I need to get to work too. I have been meaning to ask though, do you really like working in pri
NICOLE'S POV "Wow, this is beautiful." She gushed as soon as she entered my office. "Hey Nicole, I have missed you so much." She said excitedly as I rushed out of my chair to give her a hug."I have missed you so much too girl, how are you?" I asked as I pulled away from the hug."Oh my goodness, you are so beautiful. Look at you, you are such a boss." She noted while staring at me with a big smile on her face but I am curious about what she means by I am such a boss. "You look nothing like the Nicole from, you know." She said stylishly and I am glad that she knows that somethings are private because no one here knows that I just got released apart from Mike and I want it to stay that way."Yeah, you too. You look different but in a good way, very beautiful." I pointed out."Thanks." She said shyly.I already told Mike that she's coming today and he should prepare all the necessary documents for the transfer of funds and properties. I haven't even had the time to actually see everyth
NICOLE'S POV TWO WEEKS LATER..."I'm really sorry Miss Nicole, I promise you it was a mistake and I will never do it again." James my head of account department apologized after tracing the missing funds to his account.I have returned back to work for like two weeks now and he didn't think to come and fess up to me himself until I fished him out three days ago, so is he really sorry or he is just scared of going to jail."Please Miss, it was the devil's work." He pointed out and it infuriates me."Don't go there James, the devil really? The devil made you steal from me after how nice I have been to you, the devil made you device a way to steal the money in bits so that it won't be noticed? Don't you dare call the devil here because you knew what you were doing." I said angrily."I'm sorry Miss, please forgive me?" He pleaded."Are you? Are you sorry at all or you are sorry because I found you out, I found out about you three days ago and I called a meeting to inform all the staff th
NICOLE'S POV "Someone looks excited." Betty noted as soon as I got back home."Yes I am, I have a date with Asher." I pointed out as she followed me to my room."Wow, that's nice. Where are you guys going?" She asked curiously."Well he said I should wear anything I like and my outfit will determine where he will take me to." I explained.He is so sweet, I love him. He knows how to make me happy and what I love most about him is that he doesn't feel intimidated or threatened by my success, he is an amazing guy and he is doing great financially, so I have no complaints."Wow that's lovely, so what are you wearing?" She asked as I got out of my office clothes."I don't know yet, although I don't want to go to any classy restaurants, so I won't be wearing a dinner dress." I pointed out.I want a casual date, something a little carefree and playful. "How about a club dress, you love going to the club and you haven't been to one in like ten to eleven months." She pointed out and it's true
NICOLE'S POV Yesterday was so perfect, knowing the gender of my two babies and getting engaged all in one night is just so amazing, he made me really happy which is why I am sitting here with him in the visiting area of the prison to see Logan... I mean I already had a plan to come here and see Logan, I just didn't think it will be this early.I am nervous and honestly, I feel uncomfortable because this moment reminds me of my time in prison and how Asher used to visit me. I am going to be a part of his family soon and the most appropriate thing is to make peace with Logan because I have made peace with what happened to me six years ago and I have forgiven Logan, so I think it's only fair for me to let him know."Are you sure you really want to be here because I can understand if you need to go, I don't want you to be uncomfortable by seeing him again." Asher pointed out but I am fine."I want to be here, I am no longer mad at him and I want him to know, besides we are going to be fa
NICOLE'S POV When the went on and on about my gender reveal party, this was definitely not what I pictured in mind. The set up is elegant and it looks nothing like a gender reveal, it's more like a dinner party or something and they invited a lot of people, I thought it was just going to be a few friends but it's fine. "Wow ladies, this was unexpected but mind blowing, I love it." I said excitedly."Well we were hoping to blow your mind." Shelly said just as I noticed Asher walking towards me. He is wearing the same color of suit as I am and he looks so handsome and happy but all I can think about is when I will be able to get him out of this party and have him to myself, he is looking so yummy and I can't resist."Hi baby." I said as he got close and I gave him a hug and then a kiss."Wow, you look... You look so beautiful." He complimented as I smiled at him. "I can't wait to get you out of that dress." He whispered the last part in my ears and I blushed, I guess we are both thinki
NICOLE'S POV Shelly and Ruth has been here since we went shopping two days ago and it's obvious that they are going to the party from here. It's not like I mind having them around, it's just that they have all been acting weird. They are all over the place, making plans like it's my wedding and not gender reveal, so I am honestly tired of everything and all I want right now is for it to be time for the party, so that everything can return back to normal.As soon as I returned to my room after having breakfast with them, I heard my phone ringing and I wondered how long it has been ringing for since I didn't take my phone with me. I went to my bedstand to get my phone and see the caller ID and I smiled when I noticed that it's Asher."Hi baby, how are you doing?" I haven't seen him for a few days now but I am seeing him tonight and I am really happy about it, that's what I am actually looking forward to tonight. The girls are already making everything weird, so at this point, I just wa
ASHER'S POV I can't believe that it's actually happening, tomorrow is Friday and I am actually going to propose to Nicole. I mean I am mentally ready but now that it has become so close, it's now a reality and it feels like a dream. I remember when I met her in prison, I had just lost my wife and I was a mess. I even felt so horrible for admiring her when I just lost my wife but I thought it was infatuation and the relationship wouldn't last especially because she was in prison and I am her therapist but look at us now. She's pregnant for me and I am about to take things to the next level and it's exciting and weird at the same time but it's the right time, so I am doing it. "Are you ready?" I was carried away in my thoughts as I stood in front of the mirror and I completely forgot that I came in to dress up so that Aaron and I can go ring shopping."Yeah, I am ready." I said as I brushed my hair, grabbed my phone and keys before leaving my room.Betty called earlier today to inform
NICOLE'S POV I decided to take a break from work today to have a rest, I have been doing this often lately ever since my stomach became big, I don't want to overwork myself or stress the baby, so I am staying home today. I reluctantly got out of bed and I showered quickly before looking for something simple to wear but before I could decide on what to wear, Shelly and Ruth stepped into my room."I didn't know that you guys were here?" I pointed out. I mean I know that they have been coming here often lately because of the gender reveal party that they are planning with Betty but I didn't know that they are here this morning."Yeah, we just came in." Ruth pointed out while smiling and I can tell that there is more to this visit. "We are going out for shopping." She pointed out but that's not my plan for today, I stayed home to rest and not to go for shopping, besides I have everything I need here."No ladies, I am home to rest and not to go out." I pointed out as I picked an oversized
ASHER'S POV It's the weekend and Aaron and I are anxiously waiting in visiting area of the prison as usual to see Logan. I am worried about which bruise he will show up with or how battered he will look today when he shows up. It's obvious that something is happening in there, someone is bullying him or maybe people are ganging up against him and he just doesn't want to tell us and I know it but I guess he has his reasons, there is obviously nothing much I can do to help him from out here."You know all the injuries and bruises that Logan has been showing up with was inflicted on him by someone or a group of people right? It wasn't an accident in the bathroom or cell like he usually said, we both know that Logan is not clumsy." Aaron pointed out and I am surprised that he is thinking about it as well... I guess we have both had it in mind for a long time but we didn't really want to discuss it because how exactly are we going to help him."I know Aaron, someone or people are hurting
ASHER'S POV I have never been more excited than right now in the hospital room with Nicole, the doctor is watching the monitor and I can see a weird strange movement on the monitor but I can't make out the image but knowing that the steady heartbeat we are hearing and the image on the monitor belongs to my daughter or son is the most fulfilling thing ever and it's so fucking exciting. I looked at Nicole and she is spotting a huge smile that is similar to mine, I am so excited."Oh wow, this is interesting." The doctor said and I wonder what she saw."What's wrong doctor?" I asked curiously."Nothing, it's actually good news. You are having..." "No doctor, don't tell us. Just print out the ultrasound and put it in an envelope, we don't want to know anything about the baby as long as the baby is okay." I interrupted her when I realized that she was about to tell us the gender and ruin the surprise, besides I already promised Betty and I don't want to disappoint her although I am fucki
ASHER'S POV I decided to skip work today since I am going to the hospital later today with Nicole and since I will be home most of the day, I asked Aaron to come over. He works from home, so he is always at home except he decides to go out and have fun. "It's a good thing you asked me over because I just rounded up with all my pending work and I am basically free from now till next week but why are you home though?" He asked as soon as I returned to the living room with a bottle of whiskey and glass for us."Nicole and I are going to the hospital later today for her routine check ups and if I go to work, I won't be back on time to follow her to the hospital and I already promised that I will be there." I can't afford to disappoint her. I mean I have followed her to the hospital once for check up but she mostly goes alone or with Betty, not because I don't want to go but because of work."Oh I see, that's good. Maybe you guys can finally find out the gender of the baby." He pointed o
NICOLE'S POV I still don't regret that I made Logan pay for what he did to me, I just regret the way I went about it and the way it made Asher feel. I mean me of all people know exactly how prison life is, I was there for like nine months and it almost ruined my life, I even almost lost my life. I did some really shitty things to stay alive, it was really unfair for me to have said three whole years was not enough when there is a possibility that he might not even be alive by then or he might be a totally different Logan when he is out... I mean the only thing that kept me going for months was the fact that I had Logan, seeing him every Thursday and Saturday made a huge difference but all he has is on Saturday and I know it's not enough because seeing Asher twice back then wasn't enough either."You like this?" He asked as he played a movie but God knows that I wasn't paying attention, I don't even know the title or what it's about. I just really feel bad for what I put him through,
