Aston's povI wondered what her fuss was. I had been apologizing, but she kept ranting like I had some kind of relationship with the doctor. Well, I had done my best, but she walked away, leaving me there obviously pale.I had failed to make her realize that I had nothing to do with the doctor, or maybe I did, but she just kept playing hard to get which was understandable.Suddenly, I felt a hand resting on my shoulder, and I was about to arch my neck back when I heard his words."How did it go? Did she actually listen to anything you had to say?" He asked, and I sighed in defeat."I guess you're right. She must have been jealous because she didn't listen to my pleadings."He shook his head, coming closer so I could see his face. "I don't think you should go to her tonight. She's too mad, and would probably flip on you again. How about giving some space?"Creased lines appeared on her head, and she furrowed her brows. "What the hell are you talking about? I'm not supposed to leave he

Nicole's pov.I was worried about the way things were. It seemed as though my life was changing. Well, I didn't know how else to forgive him.I noticed he was sorry, but I still felt pained by the issue."Maybe sleeping would do me good," I explained, and immediately went ahead to lay down, but all throughout, I discovered I couldn't sleep. My heart drummed, and I tried so much to be myself, but I didn't help.My life seemed backwards, and I tried to look for a way to work things out.After so many thoughts, I came up with an idea. Tomorrow was my day off at work, and I was going to surprise him, and apologize at the same time.I realized that he was being the bigger person by apologizing.My heart drummed, and I immediately tried my best to get some shut eye.The next morning, I woke up early before all the maids, and tried my best to make different kinds of meals.Once that was done I strolled towards the guest room. I was feeling strange in my heart. Was it the fact that I was fee

Nicole's povAs soon as the nurse announced that, I screamed in joy. I couldn't wait to actually see my mom call me by my name.I had been waiting for this for a long time."She's awake!" I screamed as the doctor rushed out with the nurse while I followed behind with Aston. I wheeled him towards my mother's room, but I noticed he was smiling throughout."Why aren't we going in?" He asked, and I smiled. I was a doctor and I knew the rules. We weren't supposed to go in until the doctors checked and approved that she was okay, and could be visited."Some more tests need to be carried out. We have to wait until the doctor gives an approval of her being okay, and also being ready to receive a visitor."He nodded. "That's great. I understand what you mean, and it's alright to do that. But I'm mostly happy for you." He smiled, and I moved to stand in front of him so I could see his face."I told you she'll be alright, didn't I? But you always end up worrying. Why can't you understand that

Nicole's povI explained to her, but my mom's eyes widened, and I was tempted to smile. I knew she was shocked, but then I was happy I got married to him."Are you sure about what you are saying? You got married? What year is this?" She asked again, and I sighed."Well, it's not that. I want you to understand that I had to. It's a really long story.""Long story? I would love to hear what you have to say. Why did you get married at such a time? What happened?"I sighed. Did I really want to tell her all the things I had been through?"Nicole?" I asked with raised brows. I was really worried about the way things were. I didn't know how else to express it.My heart drummed, and I was calmed. I was hoping my mom wasn't going to be so inquisitive, but I guess I had to tell her everything."Um.." I sighed."I wasn't supposed to marry him, but my stepmother wanted me to marry him in his place."She widened her eyes. "Really?"I nodded. "And just to tell you, he's not ummm.. he's disabled."

Aston's povBy the time she got home, she was happier than when she usually returned home."Someone's excited..." I called out to her by gesturing with my hands, and she nodded.Without hesitation, she came towards where I was, taking a seat opposite me with her hands wrapped around mine."Thank you for today. I really appreciate what you did to, mom ate her satisfaction."He laughed. "Of course. I would do anything for your mom to be better. She's my mother-in-law."Nicole chuckled. "I can't wait for her to leave the hospital. I'm tired of her staying there. I want to see her home, hale and hearty."I heaved, rubbed her hands gently. "And you will." For some reason, I loved seeing her smile.Her expression was everything to me."So what's for dinner?"Her question caused me to pause my lips. "Hmm, I was thinking we could eat out to celebrate. I mean, you deserve to also smile, don't you?"She blushed. I knew what exactly she was talking about, and I hoped it would work out well enoug

Nicole's pov.I was already in the hospital, checking up on my new patient when I got a page from the doctor incharge of my mom's case.I wouldn't lie, seeing that page got me worried, but I decided to be calm. I knew nothing wrong was going to happen. She was already fine. Or was she?I stayed calm, wrapped up with the patient, and tried to rush to his office. I knocked on the door, and upon his words, I walked in."You paged me? Is anything wrong with my mom?" I asked, but he furrowed his brows, laughing afterwards."Something wrong? No there's not. I just wanted you to sign your mom's discharge papers.""What?!" I exclaimed, and he nodded."D-discharge?" I stammered and he nodded. The truth was that I had not thought about what to do if she was actually allowed to leave the hospital. I hadn't even discussed it with Aston yet."Now? Can you hold on for a few hours doctor? I really need to speak to someone about it."He nodded, and I excused myself from his office. My chest drummed l

Aston:I had been watching her for a few days, and each time I saw her the way she was, I felt intense pity. I didn't even know how to explain it, but she was stressing beyond her limit."Are you sure you're alright?" I asked her one night as she collapsed on the bed. However, she hummed, face buried deep in the bed."Nicole?" I called, but I heard her snoring. It was obvious that the workload was becoming too much for her to handle.I sighed, and drew the sheet closer to her. I wanted her to be covered because the air condition was on."You're stressing yourself way too much young lady," I explained, and sighed again. I didn't want her this way.I was afraid she was going to end up falling sick, and then there would be no way for her to assist us.Thankfully, my phone was nearby. I picked it up, and was about to dial Lucas' number when I paused.It was already too late in the night to call him, so I decided that I was going to talk to him about it tomorrow.The next morning. I was jo

Aston's pov"Yes, a caregiver. I know how you feel. You are probably not okay with the caregiver idea, but it's all right. I know. The only thing I'm concerned about here is your daughter. If there's a way to make everyone happy, believe me, I will. But your daughter needs to be healthy."I said all this when I noticed how quiet she has become. Her expression was blank, and she heaved."I don't think I have a problem with you getting me a caregiver. I've told my daughter countless times that I can take care of myself, because she's just too stubborn.""Nicole can sometimes be stubborn at times, but she's the sweetest soul I actually know."She smiled. "Feel free to get the caregiver anytime you want, and if that's too much of a hassle, I can manage."I smiled at her. "Thank you so much ma'am. Thank you for understanding.""Thank me? I should be thanking you! You are an amazing soul, and the one who saves my life. I am glad my daughter got married to a responsible man like you."I felt

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
