Nicole: As soon as those words left my lips, I rushed away from Aston's side. I knew there was something wrong with my mom. “Excuse me, please can you tell me what's wrong with me Mom?” I asked, following her as fast as I could. She was walking fast. “It’s best if you see it yourself.,” she said, taking the next turn that led to my mother's room. I was beyond scared, but my fear wasn't compared to the shock I got when I got to the room. My heart stopped. I got confused. I stood in the way, trying to remind myself to breathe while my eyes captured all that was going on. “What is happening?” I screamed in my head because I was in too much shock to scream it out loud. Tears welled up in both my eyes, and before I knew what was going on, they streamed down as though the reservoir in my eyes had been let loose. “Mom…” I finally managed to gasp, but no one paid attention to me. The doctors and nurses were all busy with my mother. The machine beeped as her pulse dropped, I watche

Aston: I watched my supposed wife run off in the distance. My eyebrows creased and I folded my hands in a tight fist, as I worried myself out. Had I heard right? Her mother? “Should we get going?” Lucas’s voice drifted me off my thoughts but my eyes still stared at the now empty hallway. I stared towards where my wife ran to. I didn't want to leave without her because we had come together but her words repeated in my head and I had no choice. I respected her decision and expected explanations too. “Let’s get going….” I explained, and he nodded. Lucas didn't utter a single word. He was quiet, as he pushed me out of the hospital. Lucas had been my assistant for as long as I could remember and now when things had become bad for me and I was immobile, he was still my assistant and even went around doing jobs that weren’t meant for his positions. In the car, I was quiet, staring at my hands. The fact that the words of the nurse played in my head constantly was something else.

Nicole’s POV I walked into the doctor's office with plenty of thoughts in my mind. My mind raced with thoughts, and I tried my best to be fine, but I couldn't be, not until I heard what the doctor had to say. “Nicole…” Doctor Reece called. His eyes seemed to be fixed on me, and even when he had so many questions to ask, he didn't say a word. He was more than quiet about everything. His gaze was scary, and I forced myself to swallow the lump that was in my throat before pulling my legs towards the seat he had gestured to me to the seat. My colleagues who trained under doctors Reece said good things about him and I would say the same about him, I just hope my mom was okay. “Good morning, doctor Reece. You called?” I asked, heart hammering. I felt I could hear my heartbeat, and time seemed to slow down. His silence wasn't helping either. I thought something bad had happened to my mom since he was the one in charge of her case, and hadn't said anything since I got in there. ‘No, don't

Aston:I rolled myself out of the room, and towards my study, pondering nonstop about what she was saying. It wasn't making sense. What she said wasn't colliding with the expression I noticed there. There was fear, tension, and worry. Also, I clearly heard the nurse mention something about her mother being in the hospital.Was I going crazy? It was something I didn't really understand, and I wished to share it with someone.As soon as I sighed, there was a knock on my door. I furrowed my brows because I wasn't expecting anyone, but then I decided to allow whoever it was in.“Come in…” i uttered just like I said, the door was pushed open, revealing Lucas. He walked in, closing the door behind him.“Sit.” I instructed, gesturing to the seat opposite me. I didn't mind at all. I was in need of someone to talk to, so him being here was the perfect opportunity.“The young miss is back. You said you were going to talk to her, and a few minutes later, I see you leaving your room for the study

Aston:I watched the investigator nod to my words. We had finally made an agreement, and I hoped he was going to keep to it.“Great. It's nice working with you. I would make sure to wit for your response which would be when you promised right?”The investigator nodded, and I turned to Lucas.“You'll escort him out.” Lucas who was already aware didn't worry. He nodded, and escorted the private investigator only to return back with a smug look on his face.“Did you really have to be so are on him, I was beginning to worry about him then I was worried about the case.” He expressed, and I wore a serious expression.“It's not my fault. You see the issue is that I feel the need to understand the situation on ground is greater than I imagined. I want o unlock the truth behind her being all suspicious.”No one said anything afterwards, and we went back to work.“Hoes the company doing. I have no idea the affairs over there since I haven't gone there in a while.”I wasn't joking. Ever since th

Nicole:Was it just me, or was the day going faster, and I was closer to almost losing my mom. Soon it was going to be three days, and her situation will no longer be managed.My heart drummed, and I tried not to cry. I was starting to feel depressed inside. I knew my mother wouldn't survive so I was already staring to have myself for anything that would be involved at this point,I wasn't really sure I cared, all I wanted was simple. I wanted her to be alright, but the universe hayd me so much.My life her to be this hard. Everything was taken away from me, and now my mother was about to be added to the list.As I thought, something caught my attention. My page was beeping, and I found it was ste doctor incharge of my mother's case.“He's paging?” I felt a glimmer of hope but immediately killed it when I recalled his response to the request I gave yesterday.Maybe he was actually calling me to tell me about all I was going through. He wanted me to know more about how important the su

Nicole:I was seated in the dining room when Lucas came along with a serious expression. He offered me a head bow, and moved to talk to Aston. Unlike before. Thos wasn't like anything I had been through before. Everything that was said to him was normally said before me, but today was different.I didn't complained, I pretended to keep eating, and focused on my food rather than the both of them.In a few seconds, I heard Aston's voice, which caused me to raise my head.“I'll be going to the study now. I have a lot of work on my plate. I hope you understand, right?” He asked, and I nodded.Of course I did. I understood very well that he was a busy man, but the issue wasn't him being busy. The issue was with what? For some reason something told me it was more than a mere office job. It was something different.“See you later in the evening right? Since you'll be going to work today?” He said it more like he was questioning me. I guesswanted to be sure, and I nodded.“Yes, see in the ev

Nicole:I walked out of the doctors office, and that was when I noticed that he wasn't kidding. I thought I had fallen into a dream or something but it wasn't so.I was so worried about the way things had turned out. I was worried that he might have found out, but how? Did he trail me? Did he find someone to spy on me? Was he so worried that he came to my work place without my knowledge?Something was off. I didn't know how to face him now. I was so worried about getting to face him especially if he proceeded to ask me another question. I didn't know if I could answer the questions he was going to ask, but I was going to try because I knew it wasn't going to be as easy as I was expecting it to be. My hands wrapped around the whole thing. I needed time to move quicker than usual.Wait what was I saying? Did I really need to worry about how he found out? Even when that was really important, I noticed that here was still a way to go around it. He was going to ask questions, or maybe not,

Aston's povWe were all at the same place, the police station. There was so much tension. Nicole's stepmother, and father remained calm, and they seemed to not be in the mood to say anything.“Yes, it's time for you to hand over your phones. We'll go in and come right out. Do you understand?”They nodded, handing over their phones to the police. As I sat there, Lucas behind me, I couldn't stop sighing. The fact remained that I was waiting for the police to find something that could implicate them.Everyone was anxious about it. Even her stepmother didn't seem safe as well. She was sweating, and pacing around with her daughter.Just then, my phone rang. It seemed like a strange number, and I furrowed my brows. However, when I noticed there was a possibility that it could be Nicole calling, I quickly picked up, placing the phone on loudspeaker.“H-ello, Nicole ?” We asked with raised brows, and there was nothing else. I tried my best to be calm, but I really couldn't concentrate.I tri

Nicole:I stared at the man with worry on my face. So many things went on in my mind, but a response to give him was what I didn't know. What did he mean by comply? I knew he meant doing what they said, but what was it exactly?“Stop staring and start talking. Are you going to do as we have said or you want to be stuck here for a very long time? We are capable of doing that. This is your last chance.”I nodded steadily. I didn't want a situation whereby things would get out of hand because I didn't want to cooperate. I was hoping that my cooperation would make a way for me.“Y-yes…” I stammered, when I noticed his eyes were still locked on mine when I nodded as an answer.Then he immediately smirked. “Good. Since that's what is going on, I'm going to ensure you are able to leave this place on time, but you have to do something for us.”The smirk on his face got me scared, and I swallowed consistently. I wanted him to explain to me what I needed to do.“I need you to actually call your

Aston:I was still staring at them, rage filling my mind. I knew what was happening. I knew that she was involved as well. I tried my best to control myself, but it was obvious that I couldn't."Are you talking now or should I leave you alone, rather, make sure the police would go after you?" I asked for answers with raised brows, and she immediately pressed her lips."It's not us. We haven't even heard from her since she got married to you. Yes, like I said, we pushed her into a marriage with you, but why would we want to kidnap her? Come to, think about it.." she urged, while her daughter was behind her."Speak for yourself. I don't trust your daughter. It's obvious she doesn't know what she's doing. I have to admit it. It's crazy to see that she's hiding underneath your shadow when she has a mind of her own, don't you think?" I asked, and she immediately pressed her lips. Her heart drummed crazily, and she tried to control herself.It wasn't easy, and she was trying her best to not

Aston's pov"We need to leave now..." I said, rushing up what he had given to me. He also rushed up his, and then got me ready by helping me out of the room.We quickly left the hotel and rushed towards the car. He helped me get on, and he drove towards the place. I was quiet, and didn't know what else to say. I was feeling a bit strange about everything.If I found her I would never let her out of my side again. I was going to make sure she was followed by guards who keep me updated at all times.We got to the mansion gate, and we noticed Nicole's mom was already there. She was ranting, and screaming at the top of her voice while the caregiver was by her side."Mom?" I called her, and held her hands. She sighed as soon as she saw me."They refuse to let me in, but maybe they'll let you. Please help me find my daughter. I don't know how else to say it, but that's what I can say. They are certainly involved."I nodded, wanting to calm her down. "We are all tense, mom, but you have to c

Aston's povIt was the next day, and I was worried even more. I couldn't think, or focus. I needed time to think about the whole thing. I was worried, and tried to control myself.I had to book a hotel close to the crime scene. Which was crazy. I needed to understand what exactly was going on, and who must have planned it.Each time we called the police, they kept saying that she had to be missing for at least twenty four hours."You're worrying too much. She's fine. Maybe she needed time away.” he explained, and I sighed."She's not. We don't know exactly what's going on. We really don't know, and I can't think straight. I didn't even get a wink of sleep.""I'm aware, and it's almost noon now, and you still haven't eaten. Would you like me to bring something to you?""Something?" I asked with raised brows, and there was no words. I was trying to understand what was happening. It was as though he didn't know what the situation was."Are you serious? I'm telling you my wife is missing

Nicole's povI didn't know how many hours or minutes had passed, but my stomach rumbled. I was so weak, and I watched how they were seated on a table not too far away. They had different kinds of beers, and alcohol drinks, but what caught my eyes was the burger on the table.My stomach growled again, but they didn't notice.they were too busy, playing the games I didn't know, well maybe they enjoyed what I was going to."Hello!" I screamed, and they turned towards me, stared at me for a few seconds, and just as I was about to speak, they turned their faces away. I frowned.How could they be so heartless? They kept me here for a long period of time,and didn't give me anything to eat. I was starving, but to them, it wasn't their business."I'm starving!" I screamed with a straight face, but they laughed again, and this time, the one who grabbed my hair stood up from his seat. He had a cigarette in his mouth, and he moved closer to where I was before pulling it away, and puffing it on my

Aston:I was just speaking to Nicole. I was just talking to her when the phone suddenly stopped transmitting."Nicole... Nicole?" I called. Hy this time my chest was already pacing, and my hands were shaking. "Nicole!" I screamed, but still no answer, and my heart started to race. I ran my hands through my hair, and breathed hard. It wasn't what I was expecting."No, no!" I dropped my phone, and was extremely worried. I turned towards Lucas who was staring at me."Why aren't you calling the police? Why?!" I screamed, and he calmly said."They are in their way..." Once he said that, I pressed my lips together, and tried to stay calm.Just then, Nicole's mother walked downstairs. She seemed to have heard the commotion. I didn't even know how to explain to her about everything that was happening."You were yelling for Nicole. She is back?" She asked, and I immediately lowered my head. I didn't know how to break it to her that her daughter was in danger, but I was going to do it anyway. I

Nicole:No!" I screamed as I ran. My hands were shaking, but I managed to firmly hold the phone to my ears as I ran.My legs were shaky because I had been running for a while, not to mention the fact that he was never good at sports.The man was closing in on me, so I dropped the bag."What do you mean? You're scaring me. What's the matter.""Aston, call the police. Someone's after me, I'll explain later.""Stay on the call. Lucas is calling the police right now." He explained, and even when I was supposed to be relieved, I wasn't. He was still behind me, closing it."Take note of your surroundings. Where are you?" He asked, obviously panicking.Suddenly, I ran into something hard, and felt dizzy. My phone fell from my hands, and it was stepped on by the person who was now in front of me, and before I could retrace my steps, the one behind closed in."You're coming with us now. Do you understand?" One of them grabbed my hands, and tried to pull me away, but I proved stubborn.They wer

Nicole’s POVThe rest of the week went in both ways, the good and the bad. The patients I was given all had quick recoveries, but I was still worried. There was something not obviously right. The letters stopped coming, but I feared the warning.I knew there were a lot of things involved, and I didn't want that to happen. I wished there was a way to find whoever it was. I at first thought it was my step sister, but then, she didn't care about me, or even my marriage. I mean, she was the one who didn't want to marry him because he was a cripple, but then I had no say exactly.Just then, my phone rang, and I was forced to take the call because it was Aston."Hey babe. Are you coming home for dinner?" He asked, but I hummed. I heard the excitement in his voice, and didn't want to crush him, but I guess I had to."Um, no, I'm sorry I didn't mention it early, but I was told a few minutes ago. Doctor John, and I would be working on research together. It's important for me to be there."For
