All her life, Nicole was told that a woman isn’t supposed to have a voice or speak up for herself. She was raised to obey and to say yes to everything they wanted, and she did just that. She said yes to them taking everything from her and agreed to marry the man her family chose because he was deemed the right match to help the family business. They told her he was the best man for her, and she believed them. She gave in back then, but no more. All they said were lies. He wasn’t the right one for her, nor would he ever love her as much as she loved him. Or was she mistaken? In a maze of deceit and manipulation, she decided to take control of her life and end it all. They think she’s powerless, but she’s not. As Nicole embarked on her new journey, she faced several unexpected challenges. Hidden truths from her past came to light, alongside dramas and plots from those who wished her harm. Could Nicole put her past behind her and embrace the future, or could she get the love she had wasted for so many years?

He remains your husband whether you like it or not, right now is the time for you to act like the one in charge. You shouldn’t leave your marriage because your husband slept with his ex, it’s uncalled for.”I stared at her for a while before bursting into laughter; to divorce my cheating husband is uncalled for?“You know what Dad, since you are not going to be on my side I’m leaving. But you should know that I meant it when I said I’m divorcing Jack.” I turned around to leave.“Stop being selfish and listen to what we are saying for once!” Dad yelled and I stopped walking, turning around to look at him.“Selfish? You still think I’m selfish after everything I have done for you?” I asked and went on without waiting for his answer.“I have sacrificed my whole life and career because of you dad, what more do you want from me? I married a man whom
Nicole.I took a deep breath knowing this night would be longer than I’d thought.“Can I come in?” I asked, trying to be as polite as I could.She didn’t speak, just merely stared at me with a frown on her face.“What are you doing here?” She asked when she was done with her observation.“I came to see my father. Is he inside?” I asked, squeezing the car key.I knew he was inside since his car was parked at the front.“He is but I don’t think he would want to see you,” again I was forced not to roll my eyes.“Can I come in?” I asked again, she let out a huff before moving aside and letting me in.“Stay here. I will call him downstairs.” Of course, she wouldn’t let me go upstairs even though this is my house and I have every right to go any place I want.And like the obedient person I have been all those years, I took a seat on the couch as I waited for her. It took her more than five minutes to come back downstairs with Dad walking behind her.“Nikki, I didn’t know you'd be coming ove
Nicole.It felt like I couldn’t breathe as I stared at Jack. The sound coming from them was too loud that they haven’t even realized I was standing there watching them as they fucked each other's brains out.My husband Jack had his arm securely wrapped around his ex-girlfriend who was naked in his lap as they both moaned enjoying themselves.I found it hard to see them after a while, my sight was blurry.“J….Jack.” I called, and even after calling his name they still didn't have any idea I was here.I sniffed, clenching my hand beside me as I called his name again, this time a bit louder than the first.“Shit!” Jack cursed, pushing Laura from his lap as he got up.He stared at me in shock as he grabbed his pants from his waist down and tried putting it on.“It’s not what you think, Nicole.” He said and I scoffed.Not what I think?He has his cock deep inside his ex-girlfriend and he’s telling me it isn’t what I think.“How long?” I asked, surprising myself for being this calm.I was r
Nicole.I huffed as I lifted the bag on the ground, it seemed like a pretty hard task seeing how light the bag looked.I looked around the parking lot and tried remembering why I was here again—oh right, my mother-in-law needed some pizza and some other item and I was the one being sent out to get them. Again.I know anyone in my condition would’ve given up and left already, but I can’t. I love him and I want to stay with him and I don’t think I can leave now that I’m pregnant. I wouldn’t want my child to grow up without having his/her father by her side.I would hate to do that to them.My lips curled up in a smile as I thought of my child, I can’t wait to hold him/her in my arms. I know that will be the happiest day of my life and I also believe their presence would change Jack's mindset about his ex.I finally gathered the courage to pick up the bags from the ground, groaning a bit as I wondered what the heck I bought inside the store.I closed the trunk, turned around, and was rea
Nicole.The next four days went by in a blur and I still wasn’t able to tell Jack about the baby. After he made me promise not to see Rowan the night of the party I didn’t speak to him the next day. I hated how he brought up the reason we got married, I hated how he made me feel like a gold digger when I have done nothing but love him.My days went as they always were, waking up early to prepare food for his family—the ones who wouldn’t stay at their own house. Shirley was gifted a big mansion by her brother on her birthday and this mansion came with cars, househelp, and whatever she needed. Why she still stays here baffles me, same with Janice.This morning I felt too tired and sluggish to get up, it was just after seven and I felt sleepy like I hadn’t slept for days even though I went to bed pretty early.These past few days had made my suspicions about his cheating so higher than this freaking mansion, every day I received one or two pictures of Jack and Laura being overly sweet an
Nicole.I know I shouldn’t have waited when he told me we would discuss that later but I did. I waited for him for hours and he was yet to come, I didn’t know when I started crying.I climbed into bed since I already had my bath. I laid down but couldn’t sleep no matter how hard I forced myself to.It felt like my heart was being poked at by tiny needles every second, it felt like I couldn’t breathe.I hate feeling this way; this heartbroken and useless. The only time I have felt this way was when I lost my mom, I completely lost it when I found out she was gone. I thought my world had ended and now I’m feeling the same way as Jack.I thought marrying him would heal me, that he would fall in love with me but I was wrong.I let out a sniff and paused when I heard my phone vibrate on the bedside table, I cleaned my eyes before picking it up wondering who was texting me.No one has my phone number except my husband, my father, and Jack's family.I unlocked my phone and saw it was indeed
Jackson.I know what I’m doing is wrong but I can’t help it, I can’t help but feel this way about her.We have always been lovers right from high school and I had plans of marrying her but then the marriage idea came out of nowhere. It wasn’t supposed to go through if the two of us had disagreed, one way or the other our parents could have come up with something different to collaborate with each other.I was in love and wasn’t going to marry her for a deal. I disagreed but she went ahead to agree with it making my voice nonexistent for everyone. They went along with the wedding and with no choice I had to go with it too.I had to break up with the woman I love so I could marry her.I have tried my best to love her but there’s nothing hard enough than forgetting your first love.I tried to forget about her but I couldn’t not when I had her following me around on the internet. I followed her every single fucking page. I saw her almost every day, how beautiful she had gotten and all I w
Nicole.My night was awful.After that little drama I had with Laura and Jack they came downstairs two minutes later looking like nothing happened. I tried to think that nothing happened between them but deep down there’s a fawning feeling that what I saw was what happened.Janice hasn’t stopped showing everyone to Laura, it was like she was a masterpiece and that was her job which she is fucking proud of. Nobody has ever looked at me with that look in my life, it’s either I’m a disappointment or I am a nobody. I wish Janice would introduce me to everyone the same way she was with Laura.I gulped down my drink, squeezing the glass in my hand.The other thing that caused my night to be awful was the dress Laura and Jack decided to wear. They were both glued to each other like they were a couple and the choice of their color would make anyone believe they were indeed a couple.I have been at the same spot for an hour or two now and my husband hasn’t come over to ask how I was feeling.I
Nicole. Jack was nowhere to be found when I walked into the party, neither was his mother, sister, or even his ex-girlfriend. With a forced smile on my face, I greeted the ones who paid little attention to me. To everyone in this room, I’m just a girl whom my husband helped her family from the ground. We may not have told anyone about the agreement but I’m sure most of them in this room know, I mean father’s company suddenly rose from the ashes after our marriage. It’s suspicious and everyone has the right to think that. “Do you want a glass of wine, Mrs Davenport?” I blinked at the server standing beside me. “Yes…..No.” I shook my head when I suddenly remembered I was pregnant and pregnant women shouldn’t drink alcohol. Gosh, it still feels like a dream to me. I’m pregnant. I can’t wait to tell Jack tonight. I stood in the corner of the living room, watching everyone as they made small conversations between themselves. As the host and the wife of Jackson, I should go around w
Nicole.My husband coming late to his own wedding should have been the first thing to tell me he wasn’t ready for this marriage.I mean, I was standing at the altar waiting for him—which was supposed to be his duty, for about an hour before he showed up with messy hair, a ruffled suit jacket, and a smirk on his face.That should have given the sign that he’s a fucking red flag but I love him too much to look past his mistakes. Maybe he slept late the night before and couldn't wake up early, like I said I will do anything for this man. We proceeded with the marriage; not like I could say no to it since I loved him.They told me getting married is the most beautiful feeling on earth, falling in love, getting pregnant, and holding your child for the first time after hours and hours of long labor is the most amazing feeling ever.At least that’s what I was told.The people I called family told me I could do greater things if only I could just be more docile and allow them to direct me on...
