Substitute Bride Of The Disabled CEO Chapter 43
Nicole's povI looked round the room and noticed the way things were. Everything seemed to be off. I swallowed, watching while Aston slept. He was awake just a few minutes ago, but must have dosed off due to Extreme fatigue."Who's there?" I asked with raised brows. I was feeling so worried about the way things were. My hands were shaking. I was peeking through the darkness to see who was there, but all I got was a shadowy figure.I need time to process what was going on."Who's there!" I screamed, my heart drummed like never before. I needed time to understand what was going on.Why was I the only one seeing this person."Aston! Aston!" I screamed, shaking him. I didn't know what else to do, but the worse part about it was that he was no even helping matters."Please wake up, please wake up!" I screamed. Why did I have a feeling that this was more serious than I thought."Aston please wake up, please..." I begged. I didn't know why, but I was extremely worried. I knew there was defi

Nicole’s povThe next morning went pretty fast, and I was so happy about the way things were. Finally going to leave this place, and there was the feeling of peace in my heart."Someone's happy this morning..." He teased, and I blushed.I was particularly ready to leave this place, maybe that would stop the experiences I had been having for a while now."So What's taking so long?" I asked, and he smiled rhgbing my head."Can you at least me patient? I know you want to leave her as quickly as possible, but let the doctors do their job, okay?"I nodded, feeling sorry for him. Despite the fact that Lucas has been the one supplying us with meals, I still had a feeling he was tired. It wasn't easy to sit with me all day. Especially because he didn't have an ability to stand."Aston, are you alright? You seem a bit pale," I explained. My eyes were fixed on him, my face etched with worry as well."I guess I'm stressing a lot. But it's nothing. You're leaving here today, and you're going to

Nicole's povLucas arrived later on, and it was finally time to return home.All the while, I just couldn't stop thinking about everything that occured at the hospital, but good-bye to them.The silence in the car echoed, and I remained in thoughts until his hands were wrapped around mine.I turned towards him, and saw how he passed me a smile that caused my heart to skip. I still didn't know what this feeling was. I felt really lonely when he wasn't around, and now him holding my hands made my heart skip in a good way."Are you okay? You seem to be in a lot of thoughts lately." He asked, but I smiled. What was I supposed to tell him? That he made me happy? That I wanted him to be with me for the rest of my life.That I didn't see this relationship ending soon? I knew I was slowly falling in love with a man that I married. My heart couldn't stop drumming, and I tried my best to understand why I was growing deeply attached to this man, but I guess he was just... He was just so nice to

Nicole's povI stood there, paleness creeping on my face. This wasn't what I was expecting. This wasn't what I wanted at all. My heart drummed, and I dabbed my eyes over the letter again to make sure I wasn't missing anything."You think you're happy, but you're not. I'm going to make you bleed."No words were said. I stood there, and swallowed. However, my head snapped to the door when I heard it being pushed open.Immediately I saw it, I folded the paper, and kicked it with my legs under the bed as I forced myself to wear a smile."Are you alright?" His brows were furrowed, his eyes fixed on me with an etched of concern on his face."Yeah, I'm fine." I answered immediately, causing him to squint his eyes. That suspicious gaze was what I was trying my best to avoid, but I seemed like I wasn't doing a good job.He had known me so well to know something was bothering me, but until I opened up, I wasn't sure he knew exactly what the problem was.My heart drummed, and I was worried about

Nicole's pov.I swallowed. Indeed things were about to get awkward. Why was she asking me such questions. I felt like the questions were way too deep. I mean, it was something else."Mom!" I screamed, and she laughed."What? I just wanted to know, please.. don't take it the wrong way.""Mom please. How do I tell you this? I mean, there are so many things that are involved. I don't even know what to say." I begged with my face almost turning red."So you both have definitely--""Mom no. It's embarrassing. Please don't do this. I'm already too shy.""There's nothing to be shy about this. You're a woman. You're a grown woman now, and you're married as well. What do you expect me to do?""I expect you to be no ask me such a question. I mean, there are so many things that are involved. You are more of the quiet type. I understand, but you don't have to be shy about all of this. I'm sure you understand all right?""Yes I do. I really do, but I felt strange."She rolled her eyes. "Just answ

Aston's pov.As I worked in my study, I found myself thinking about what I did. The way I inched close to her, wanting to plant a kiss on her lips was crazy.No.At the end, I plastered the kiss on her forehead instead of kissing her on the face directly. I was scared, and worried, that she might refuse.Whirling in thoughts, Lucas came into the office. He had a serious look on his face, and was strung at me, waiting for an order."Why are you just standing there, have a seat," I explained, making him move towards me. There was a smirk on his lips, but he still had something in mind."How is your wife feeling?" He asked when he finally found himself sitting opposite me."She's good. How about you?" I asked, and heard him laugh."I'm good, but you obviously are not. You seem bothered about everything I had just said to you. Don't you?" He asked, and there was no answer. Maybe because I knew what he was saying was true."Yes. I think I'm beginning to fall in love with her."He paused, a

Nicole's pov.I had been staying home for a while, but it was finally time to do something about it. It had been one week, one week without work, and I was feeling lazy."You seem lost in thoughts." I heard his voice behind me, causing me to turn towards him. I instantly spread a smile on my face. Besides, I felt he wanted a reply because he waited there until I sighed."Yes I am. I was about to go look for you. I was wondering if you'll let me go to work. Today's the weekend, and it's basically me being home for a week. I miss attending to patients."He furrowed his brows. "You have been attending to me, and I'm your patient, so? I spoke to the doctor for a two week bed rest because your case was pretty---"His first statement finally dawned on me."What the hell do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that there's actually another week left?' I asked, and when he nodded, I sighed."I can't do that. I can't stay for another week. I'm going to lose it. You're busy with work, mom ha

Nicole's povI was still in thought as Lucas drove us to the place. I wanted to know what exactly was on his mind. Him saying he wanted to discuss with me was scary.My eyes looked through the window, and I used the scenery outside to console myself, but I wasn't sure I was in the right state of mind.My hands were shivering, and all I wanted was to hear what he had to say. I didn't know why, but for some reason, I felt strange about it.Finally getting to the place, I felt his eyes on me. Lucas helped him to get on his wheelchair and I pressed my lips together. I would have wanted to hear what he had to say from now on, but I decided to actually stay calm.It was more like a hotel, and I walked by his side while he wheeled himself."Did you actually reserve it as I asked you to?" He asked with raised brows, and I swallowed. Was the room really necessary, and what did he have installed?I panicked, but decided to trust him. Afterall, he said it was an important issue. I knew him, and

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
