NICOLE'S POV "I'm going to kill him." The only question now is how and when, I mean I can't just kill him cheaply like I killed others, he was the gang leader and the architect of everything that happened to me, so a quick death will be a waste of revenge... I spent six years of my life looking for him, so I have to give him a befitting death, something worthy of the chase."He deserves a tremendous death." Something grand but painful and slow, I need him to beg for death the same way I begged him now to rape me. I need him to beg for mercy like I did, I need him to offer me things in exchange for his life like my parents offered them everything just to spare me but he refused. I need him to cry, scream, beg, explain why he decided to ruin my family and after that I want him to beg for a quick death while I derive pleasure in watching him squirm.I stayed in bed all day looking for the best way to kill him and everything that comes to mind seems too easy to be compared to what he did
ASHER'S POV Today was a long day, in fact the last one week has been ridiculously long. I go to Nicole's office every morning before I go to work and I check her at home every evening after work and honestly, I am tired. I am tired of stressing myself trying to figure out what I did to her that warrants this sudden change... It's been over a week now since she rushed out of here with no explanations, so I have decided to let her be. I am going to give her the space she's looking for, no more chasing after her like a fly, I am done.I made my way to my room after work and I got rid of my suit and I was about to take my shit off when I heard a knock on the door and I made my way out to get it. "Nicole?" I opened the door and I am shocked to see her standing there. "Ummm, come in." I said as I left the way.She's definitely the last person I expected to see standing here today and I am not going to lie, she doesn't look good. Her hair is messy and she has eye bags, she looked stressed a
ASHER'S POV This is a nightmare, what am I going to do? I went into the room to get my phone to call Logan but his number is unreachable, so I decided to call Aaron instead."Hey man, what's up? I'm right in front of your house." He said as soon as he picked up."Well come in, there is a problem." I said before hanging up the call."Hey, was that not Nicole's car I saw on my way here?" He asked curiously as soon as he stepped in."Yeah, there is a situation at hand Aaron. She just told me now that she left that day because of Logan, she saw the scar on his nipple and that she gave him that scar and the one in his brows six years ago when he invaded her house with five guys and Logan himself raped her but the real problem right now is that she said she will kill him." I informed as I started pacing around again."That's ridiculous, she can't even hurt a fly." He stated while laughing and I see nothing funny here."She can and she will, she has already killed the five guys he went with
NICOLE'S POV I can't believe he just threatened me, is he really going to send me back to prison? I can't believe it, I am the victim here and now everyone is upset and judging me because I want revenge, he ruined my life and sending him to prison is just too easy and I need him to suffer."Nicole, you have to drop this. You heard what he said, are you really going to throw everything you have away because of revenge that won't make you feel any better?" Betty asked as she followed me to my room but I am so upset with her for defending and supporting them instead of supporting me."How do you know, how do you know that it won't make me feel better?" I asked angrily."You have killed five people already, do you feel any better or different than you felt before you went in your adventure of killing spree?" She asked curiously. Why is she attacking me like I am the worst person on earth."No I don't feel better because I have not killed the most important person, Logan is the leader an
ASHER'S POV I can't believe what's happening, how did my brother get entangled in this mess and how am I going to save him when Nicole is so adamant. God, this is bad."What are we going to do Asher, it's been three days now and Nicole still has him locked up somewhere. What if he is dead already, let's call the cops and storm over to her house, we already know that she has him, so what are we waiting for?" Aaron asked angrily. He hasn't left this house or my side since Logan went missing or should I say since Nicole kidnapped him because there is no doubt that she has him, I just don't know where she kept him."We can't just go with the cops when we don't know where she kept him or proof that she's with him. I need to find out where he is first and I don't know how to go about it because she has refused to see me or pick my calls, I am even surprised that she has not changed the passcode to her gate yet." I pointed out."I don't care about any proof, we will take the cops there righ
ASHER'S POV When I took Logan out of the basement yesterday, I honestly thought that I was going to lose him. I mean he was so battered beyond recognition, he wasn't talking and he couldn't move and I was so scared that he wasn't going to survive it but he did and I am so grateful. Even now that I am staring at him on the hospital bed, he still doesn't look like himself, one of his eyes is still completely shut and I am bummed that Nicole is capable of doing something like this to him, it's fucking absurd."The state at which you brought Logan out of the basement still feels like a dream, I can't believe that Nicole actually did that to him. Like what the hell, she was really going to kill him if we didn't show up when we did." Aaron pointed out in disbelief and I can't get over it too."I am still in shock too, I mean she told me during all the therapy sessions that we had that she already killed five of the gang members and she's going to kill the last one but I tried to talk her o
ASHER'S POV "It's fine Asher, I will give my statement." Logan said and I decided to allow him handle it. "Miss Kingston is innocent, she was trying to save me." Logan said and I stared at Aaron in disbelief, why will he say that about someone that just tried to kill him, I know that he is feeling guilty for what he did six years ago but she tried to kill him and she would have succeeded if not because of Betty, so he shouldn't cover up for her."So you are saying that she didn't do all of this to you, she's not the reason you are here?" He asked curiously and Logan took one look at me before looking at the cops again."No officer's, she's not the reason I am here. She didn't do this to me, I think my brothers just misread the situation but please let her go, she's innocent." Logan explained and the officer wrote a few things down."Okay Mr Williams, if you insist. We will let her go, get well soon and sorry for the disturbance." One of the officer's said before they turned around to
NICOLE'S POV "How are you doing Nicole?" Betty asked as soon as I got back home after almost forty eight hours that I was arrested.I don't even know how to respond to her question, I mean I am the victim here yet I was arrested and locked up for more than twenty four hours all because of Asher. He knows that his brother is guilty yet he allowed me to be arrested because he is trying to save his brother, I really can't believe it... I am beyond baffled that Asher can do something like that to me even after knowing that I am the fucking victim here and I am on my right, Logan did something wrong and he has to pay, I can't just let him go just because he is Asher's brother."I know you are upset Nicole but you can't blame him." Betty pointed out when I didn't reply to her first question as I made my way to my bedroom and the fact that she thinks Asher is right to have done what he did irks me to the core, is she kidding me?"I can't blame him? Did you say I can't blame a man that put m
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,
