Substitute Bride Of The Disabled CEO Chapter 57
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

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: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

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'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 had gotten used to the fatigue that came after a long day's work. At times like this, I could feel the pain eating away at my back, my head spinning as I tried to keep myself steady.But it was a good thing for me. I had no reason to hate it at all. This was what I loved doing and one day, I knew I would be able to do it professionally." Nicole! Oh there you are, I have searched everywhere for you" an old woman who had brought her sick son in a few days ago called me.I plastered a big smile on my face as I turned around to look at her." Hello ma'am, you look ravishing this evening. How is your son?" I asked her.She had a small blush on her face and a certain light in her eyes that had not been there when she first walked in with the cold body of the boy who had tried to commit suicide." He is fine, and it's all thanks to you. I don't know how I could begin to thank you. Your pep talk gave him the will to live again. If my son survives this chaotic year, I promise to nam

Nicole:The gown that my stepmother had made me wear was ridiculously hideous with sleeves that made me feel more like a twelve-year-old than a mature adult.I sat in the corner of Tiffany's dressing room, watching the makeup artists adorn her face with makeup as she vlogged the whole thing." Nicole! Help me get a bottle of water. I'm so thirsty" she said, whining as usual.She had perfected that act, perhaps she thought it made her sound cute, I could not tell." You can send someone else," I said plainly.She pushed the hands of the makeup artist away as she turned to look at me, a small smirk on her face." Why have you been so bitter all day? What? Do you want to be the one getting married to a handsome CEO?" She taunted.I focused on braiding my hair back, not paying her any heed. She wanted to get a rise out of me and I knew it. I could not give her that satisfaction." Is she not like your older sister? And you are getting married before her? Oh, I'm so jealous of you!" One o

Nicole:" And do you Nicole take Aston here to be your lawfully wedded husband? In sickness and in health, in poverty and In wealth, till death do you part?" The priest asked, droning on the age-long rites that everyone knew.I swallowed. I could feel the tension in the air and the numerous eyes staring at me, as though waiting for me to disagree so they could pounce on me and call me ungrateful. Remind me of my mother in the hospital bed, and tell me that if I wanted to save her I would have to get married to him.In the pew, Tiffany bit her fingers wildly, as though she did not care that the cameras may focus on her unexpectedly.My stepmother wriggled her fingers.I had taken too long to answer so she had pulled the gown up my body, nearly zipping my skin along with the clothes because of how rough she was.She had patted me on the back and whispered as my father came to take me to the aisle." I will make sure your mother lives," she said.I toyed with the idea of running away an

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
