But the doctor who attended to me took it upon himself to check on me later.I told him everything that happened and he decided to seek the help of his foster parents.
They are based in country X.They agreed and promised to look after me and the pregnancy.So I got a Visa and travelled out without telling you.
They welcomed me and I even started a job there.I had a lot of savins and once a doctor friend came around and spent two weeks with me.
They looked after me until I gave birth to my boys.His mother took over as the nanny and babysitter of the boys while I worked to save money for my return.
But after three years,I decided the boys were grown a little bit and I needed to return home.I told my friend Lincoln I was plannig to return and he said he would tell me when he helped me secure a job first.
Last week he called me and told me I have been offered an appointment as an executive designer in the Lyon Group and so here I am”Nicole explained briefly.
Rose’s eyes welled up.So much has passed under the bridge within the past four years.If Nicole had told her she was pregnant, she wouldn’t have allowed her to travel out of the country.
“You could have at least reached us since you left Nicole.I was wondering if we have in any way hurt you and we didn’t know.
But I know that your return will be the beginnig of a new life for you Nikkie.You and your sons are going to live your life to the fullest.
We’d like to meet your friend doctor Lincoln.Some good people cant help but bring happiness into their job and such people need to be appreciated”Rose’s moher chimed.
She’s happy that Nicole took the wisest decision of giving birth to her babies.Some girls would have takned the decision to abort the pregnancy but she didn’t.
She’s going to be great mother.And her kids would be the most important thing that has ever happened to her.
Nicole assured them she would check with Lincoln if h is free and invite him over.She then told them she would be buying a house tomorrow at Lincoln’s recommendation.
She will move out with her boys tomorrow and start her new job the day after tomorrow.She would like Rose to accompany her to see the house.
Rose agreed and said she would take an excuse from work and accompany her .She teased her by saying she just trusts Nicole easily again.She doesn’t know maybe she would suddenly take the boys and disappear out of the house again.
They al laughed and Rose’s mother sai she doubted it.Nicole wasn’t going to behave so childish anymore.After some time,Rose’s mother left the two friends to catch up on old times.
The first question Nicol asked was her relationship with her boyfriend?Rose chuckled soflty and sighed.
She told her he was seeing someone else without her knowledge.One day he invited her over to lunch and broke the news of their breakup to her.
She said he was sorry for making her build her hope for them both getting married somedayto her.He was shot for breaking her trust and giving her false feelings of love.
“He told me he doesn’t love me anymore.He was already seeing someone else and realised he had to let go of me”Rose said with a time that indicated she was going to cry.
Nicole consoled her and said she would really meet the right guy.The bad one has to go so that the good one can find their way into her life.
She wants her to really talk in love between going to be joined with a man.She should learn from her own experience.
As for her,she was done wih men.She doesn’t need them anymore.Livig her life with her kids and finding happiness is what matters to her in this world.
As for falling in love,She doesn’t know if that word exists anymore in her dictionary.It was just a palpitation caused by hormones and was not that important to her since she already had her happiness in her children.
And this time,we’re goint to love her more than she can immagine.And her boys would have a taste of being love or of having a father is she can locate him.
The two friends then catch up on old times before saying goodnight to each other and going to their individual rooms.
That night,it took a while before Nicole could sleep.She was ruminating over her life four years ago.
Timothy and Amanda must be living happily now.Her sister felt it was convient to take away her man away without the blink of an eye.
She and her ex husband don’t really have any feelings for each other.But it shouldn’t be her sister that he would go and be married to.
Jessica had poisoned Amanda’s mind against her.The sister she knew and grew up with loved her.No one would believe they were not from the same mother.
Her father had always treated them like twins.Whatever he brought for Nicole,Amanda was getting the very same thing.If he can’t get two, he would not buy it rather than not giving it to one person.
That way,they both grew up ,seeking the same thing for each other.But her fathr’s death made everythig take a different dimension.
Karma would catch up with Jessica for what she’s done to her and her sister.She would surely regret it someday.
While Nicole was thinking that Amanda and Timothy are happy,something else was troubling them:
Timothy was unhappy.They’ve been married for four years and he has not stopped giving her his body just to see her pregnant.But he can no longer continue and needed to rest for a while.
“Why have you been ignoring me?We need to be intimate more at this period when we need a child”Amanda coaxed her husband.
This shouldn’t be the time Timothy was enstrange from her especially now that she needed hm the most.
“Are you going to force me if I choose t ignore me?I want to sleep and I don’t like being disturbed”Timothy snapped at her.
If she keeps pestering him,he would leave the room and never return that night.What’s the use of wasting his manliness on a woman who has nothing to show for it.
Amanda said nothing again.She turned her back to him as well and left him alone.She had been trying to track her ovulation so that she and Timothy could make love,who knows ,if she might be lucky and conceive naturally,if she might be lucky and conceive naturally.
She had tried the IVF twice and both failed.She can’t imgine that Timothy was going to change completely after the failure of the last attempt.
She would have to call his mother’s attention to it.She needs to know what the rascal her son had turned into.He is not willing to give her a grandchild.
Next morning,Timothy had breakfast and was a little cheerful that morning.He gave Amanda a peck on her chin before leaving for work.
He seemed to be a different Timothy fom the one who yelled at her last night.She has never heard that aman runs away from sex with his wife especially when they want to make babies expect her dear husband Timothy.
She had made up her mind to go see Madam Penny Friday and report her son to her.If he doesn’t change, she would then take the matter to her own mother.
Her mother has been worried sick about why Amanda hasn’t been pregnant for the past four years.And when the second IVF failed she almost became sick about it.
Amanda got dressed up and took her car keys.She drove herself to her mother-in-law’s place and was glad she met her at home.
She was welcome and her mother-in-law asked her how she was doing.How’s my Timothy doing as well.Not like they don’t communicate on the phone but they rarely see each other so frequently.
Amanda said everything was fine except that she’s hhad sleepless nights because of Timothy’s behaviour recently.He doesn’t have sex with her anymore.
Penny squinted and asked Amanda what happened?She trusts that her son doesn’t have interest in ahving a mistress.So why is he not willing to get intimate with Amanda?
She looked forward to carrying her grandchild.But how is that going to be possible if he doesn’t get intimate with her?
What kind of son was Timothy becoming?
She assured Tiana she would have a word with her son and she should make herself ready for him that night.He would definitely be taking her.
Amanda smiled.As expected for her mother in law.She knows how to touch Timothy in theplace where he couldn’t resist her instructions.
Amanda thanked her mother-in-law and went home. She could not wait for her husband to return home and meet her waiting for him. She hoped this would work this time.As soon as Amanda left, Penny called her son and asked that they have lunch together that afternoon. She would be waiting for her at a certain restaurant whose address she would be sending to him.Nicole got ready and soon Rose returned from the office. They both head to an agency where Lincoln is waiting for them.When they arrived, he told them he had seen the house and was waiting for Nicole to see it as well.He initially didn’t see the other lady that came with Nicole or better still he was concentrating on his friend that he did not notice she’ was with her.Nicole saw it and said she liked it. It’s a portable complex enough for her and her kids. She paid for it and then signed the papers to the house.“I’d like you to meet my friend, the one I told you about” Nicole introduced and she did the same for Lincoln.That
Timothy got into his car and his mother entered as well. “It's all your fault. Why didn’t you pretend that you don’t know Nicole?”Penny quarreled.“How was it my fault when you called me and asked me to meet you here? It was you who wanted to see me, and I came. What’s wrong with saying hi to an ex-wife?”Timothy retorted.He’s feeling upset already. He doesn’t want his mother to add more salt to his injury. He hissed and asked her why she had invited him.“Your wife Amanda needs you now. This is the time when both of you can have babies, and this issue of children will be settled once and for all.”Penny was coaxing him when he interrupted her badly.“Did she come to report me to you? Twice mother we’ve gone for IVF and you know about it all. I can't keep wasting my manhood on a woman who cannot get pregnant despite exhibiting my masculine prowess”, Timothy complained.“It's not her fault. She wants to be pregnant too. Take pity on her and fulfill your part. Hopefully one of these days
The next day, Nicole got her children dressed up and ready for school. It’s going to be their first day in their new school and their first day in office.She looked at the boys and they looked great in their school uniforms. They’re Three and a half years old but have the brain and smartness of a ten-year-old.“Are you going to accompany us to school?”Leon asked. He was going to kindergarten in his former school until his mother told him and his brother that they were returning to their country and starting another school.“Of course darling, I will drop you off at school and return to pick you up” Nicole answered and kissed his temple. She planted a featherlight kiss on Tim’s temple as well before walking out into the car.She got into the car and started the day's ignition. The kids were so excited, they're going to a new school where they will have new friends. Nicole dropped them off at school and went to the Lyon Group where she is to resume work. She was stepping out of the el
The last person Nicole wanted to meet at the kindergarten was Amanda. She glanced at her briefly before walking past her to get her kids. Amanda was surprised. She wasn’t expecting Nicole to be in a place like the kindergarten, either. She has finally come out of her hiding. Perhaps she had met Timothy and desperately begged him to take her back. Timothy and Nicole have been having affairs. He was making love to her and was moaning Nicole’s name. Oh, she now understands everything. She had Timothy all day and only came home to say he was not interested in doing it with her. She has to warn Nicole to stay away from him. She saw Nicole walk out holding two boys in both of her hands. She looked proud of her kids and the three were giggling towards the car when Amanda called her. Nicole opened the door for the kids and let them go in before turning to look at Amanda. She’s not the old Nicole who was bullied by others and only took solace in her tears. “Yes, Amanda. What can I do for

She’s not the old Nicole who was bullied by others and only took solace in her tears.“Yes, Amanda. What can I do for you?”
Nicole squinted and then smiled. She asked him what he wanted to say. Has he had found a woman he liked? He should say it so that she can celebrate with him.Lincoln smiled. He said she’s been seeing the person and even knows her. But before that, he would like to ask Nicole a few questions.What does she think about their relationship? He and her alone. Nicole laughed and said they were friends, and nothing more.“Fine, that’s what I want to get straight before I proceed with my information. I have been seeing someone lately. She’s worried and wouldn’t want to give her whole being into our relationship despite knowing we love each other” Lincoln said and Nicole looked at him strangely.“Does that person know me?”Nicole asked. That’s absurd. How can any woman not love Lincoln because of her? How many women know her because she’s his friend>“Yes. She’s your friend” Lincoln dropped the ice. “It’s Rose?”Nicole asked next and Lincoln nodded.Nicole’s eyes welled up in tears. “How could
Mr Clive took the mic and said everyone should give him a few minutes to introduce a friend. “This is Nicole Elias, the chief designer of the Lyon Group….”By the time Mr Clive ended his introduction, many people had already taken a liking to her. She got many admirable stares and applause.She was given a VIP position and she was seated right beside Alexander. He bent and whispered “My brother will return tomorrow and I’m sure he will be eager to meet you”Nicole smiled and said she looked forward to seeing him return back safely. She can't wait to see the President return.Timothy had lost his composure seeing Nicole sit among the high and classic people. He didn’t know she worked with the Lyon Group.His eyes and attention would not leave Nicole and the latter knew it. She saw him staring at her from her split vision and wondered why he wouldn’t pay attention to his wife, sitting beside her.Amanda almost puked out blood. She’s so angry and unhappy with Timothy’s behavior. How woul
Timothy knew that he couldn’t go further. He hands up and the Young master Chan got the item. Nicole stared at the couple and deliberately let the wicked grin linger on her chin.Amanda felt she was let down. Her husband cannot buy jewelry worth 20 million yuan for her before the glares of everyone present.Nicole was mocking them already. She would think of them as poor. She will get even with Timothy when they leave the auction place.“I will make this exact design and many more like it”, Nicole whispered to Alexander. The latter was shocked and turned to give her a good stare.She can design something like this? Then their company would be competing with the design world in Italy and Spain.“Are you sure?” he asked. She would be an asset to the Lyon Group. He would let Nicole be with his family for dinner during the weekend.“You are so incapable of being my husband. You can't buy that jewelry even if it's 20 million yuan for me before everyone at the auction?”Amanda got even with
"I met her and straightened out the crooked path between us. She seemed pacified after I gave her the documents in my possession.I also transferred her shares of the profit generated so far. So practically I don't have any grudge against her nor does she have any against me.." Timothy was explaining.But Amanda squinted. She was listening to all Timothy was explaining with a happy spirit. But why does she feel he was referring to her sister?Straightened crooked paths, gave her documents and a share of the profit so far! Who exactly can it be if not Nicole?But no, Timothy wouldn't attempt to do something like that without seeking her consent or her mother's. He won't dare try it.She was thinking too much for an impossible thing. Mum had adopted a cunning way to twist the properties and documents from Nicole's hands.He can't just sprout up and give it back to her in the name of straightening crooked paths. He won't do something so crazy." Tell me darling, who's the woman you've be
Allen was quiet, listening to the argument between his woman and his brother. Nicole is decent and a role model for other women to emulate."You don't love her but you like to drink from her well right? You don't love her but the child she is carrying interests you.How can you say that Alex? I don't know if I can ever fall in love with any man. The past was always hunting me until I met Allen.I hated myself initially like I should strangulate him. But now Alex's, words can't express how much I feel for him right now.I initially accepted him because of my kids. What can I do, I can't change the fact that he is their father. But now, I love him more than I ever thought I can and I am still Loving him daily.So even if you don't love her, accept her for the baby's sake. You will develop feelings for her and you both will be happy like I am happy now" Nicole declared." You are different. You had made sacrifices and now you deserve to be loved and to also love. I want to marry a woman
Alex was blindfolded and the two boys were playing hide and seek. He would be searching for them and they kept dodging him.Their parents walked in, without the door making any sound. They saw that Alex was searching for them with his hands and touching the various sofas in the large sitting room.Nicole beckoned to the boys to be quiet.She and Allen stood and watched. Alex looked pitiful because the boys would pass right between his thighs and giggled and he wouldn't be able to seize them."You little brats. I see you guys are smart like your father, but you don't worry, I will get you" Alex was bragging.The boys giggled and each said "uncle come and get me!" And Alex will walk in the direction of the voice. But the boys would have left the place.Nicole was laughing but covered her mouth. Allen just stood expressionlessly. He remembered this was their favorite game when they were kids.It has always been him and Alex except when there are children of their parents' friends who come
Allen always smells fine. He is a clean freak and takes proper care of his body. No wonder his toiletries were the best and he had bought the same product of his toiletries for her, the feminine type."Tell me everything babe" Allen demanded." It's a long story, sweet, but I will try to summarize it," Nicole replied, adjusting herself to rest her head on the nook of his neck.Allen smiled quietly. She just referred to him as sweet. He doesn't know if she said it by chance or she meant it. He would listen to her conversation the entire evening and see if she would still call him that."He was sorry. He apologized and to show how remorseful he was, he returned my documents and papers signed by my father to me as the co heir to the Elias business.He knew I had children and they are products of that night. He wants me to make him the father of my kids.Lastly, he wants me to come back to him as his wife. He was going to be through with the divource processes with his wife and then I wil
Nicole looked at him with irritation. No one is asking him to narrate any story. Infact, she doesn't have the time for such nonsense.Timothy was embarrassed. He didn't know she was going to get irritated by what he was saying. He was trying to make her heart soften so she can readily let go of her grudge against him.He wasn't pleading on behalf of Amanda and her mother, he was pleading for himself alone."Alright I will skip the unnecessary and go straight to the point"Timothy paused, and sighed audibly before he continued "I am sorry for everything I did to you in the past.I was totally wrong and I have known no happiness since I married Amanda …"Timothy was pleading.Nicole was just staring at him. She doesn't know what to say or think about Timothy's pleading.Is she going to think about what his mother said to her and how she dragged her long hair on the floor until she passed out?Or she should think about how horrible he was when he sent his lawyer after her while on the hosp
Timothy was asking if she was going to come over to meet him or if he should stop by and pick her up.Nicole hissed when she saw the message. He must be feeling excited that she agreed to go to dinner with him.If it wasn't for Allen who persuaded her, she wouldn't have gone anywhere near him. She replied and said she would join him if he sent her the address.Quickly the address was sent to her and she realised that he had chosen a quiet garden hotel.She forwarded the address to Allen before she continued with her work. She can't take chances with Timothy again in her entire life.He had drugged her and Amanda had helped her into a hotel room and they hired a hooker to rape her. That was when she was still Mrs Friday.She can imagine a man who can do that to his legal wife, would do so much more for her than he did before, especially since she is not his wife and not ready to be a surrogate Mother for him and Amanda.Meanwhile, Penny and Jessica met in a grocery store. The two women
Aretha was lost. Allen's girlfriend? If she's not mistaken, the Allen she's talking about is the same as President Lyon,Alex's elder brother.She was a little calm. She let Nicole hold her hands. Her suspicion that she might be Alex's girlfriend was dissipated."You mean President Lyon,Thee Allen Lyon?" Aretha asked to be sure. Nicole gave a nod. She saw the surprise on her face and knew she least expected her to be Allen's woman." Alex is a friend as well. He told us about you" Nicole paused and withdrew her hands from Aretha, picking up a glass of juice, she had a quick sip."Yeah. He told you I am pregnant right?" Aretha asked. She took a glass of her juice and sipped as well. She knew for Nicole to come to see her, it implies that he must have told them about the pregnancy."Yes. He told us that you are pregnant" Nicole answered honestly. If Alex hadn't told them about the pregnancy, how else would she have known about it?Aretha was quiet. She wants Nicole to go ahead with what
Allen completely ignored his question. What kind of person was Alex? He is egoistic with his woman and doesn't want to beg her to keep the pregnancy.He was not ready to marry her either. He is looking for someone who will come in between to persuade Rita not to abort the pregnancy.Does someone get egoistic with a woman he had slept with? He doesn't know what to think or say about this pride of his.If Nicole hadn't taken the initiative to intervene, he would have left things the way they are.A man should be responsible for his actions. He is now responsible for his sons and Alex should be responsible to the mother of his unborn baby and the baby itself."Nicole may ask you to accompany her to a dinner with her ex-husband, go with her but maintain a distance. I may likely show up there but I didn't tell her that.." Allen instructed.Alex said Ok. He would talk with Nicole and ask her what she's going to do to help him talk to Aretha. She mustn't abort that pregnancy.When Nicole arr
Allen chuckled. How nice it would have been to have an elder sister or a sister as a sibling. She's so meticulous and talks like a mother that she truly is.He stood up and went to stand before the mirror. He looked at the treated wound and saw that Nicole did it well.She came and stood beside him. She saw him looking at himself and subconsciously raised his hand and touched the wound."You may need to use a waterproof bandage when going to take your bath. Help the wound to disappear quickly and be free" Nicole instructed.Allen looked at her from the mirror and they both glanced at each other. "Thank you," he said sincerely.Nicole saw him being sincere and was moved. He had suddenly been quiet while she was taking care of the wound and only talked when she ask him a question.She smiled and turned to leave when Allen held her by the wrist. He pulled her to himself and stood looking into her eyes."I love you Nicole," Allen confessed. Before Nicole could reply, he bent slightly and
