Gage's eyes locked onto Nicole's, and he felt a rush of relief wash over him. He had been worried sick about her, and now that he saw her lying in the hospital bed, he felt a wave of emotion wash over him.He didn't answer Nicole's question. Instead, he walked over to her bedside, his eyes never leaving hers. "How are you?" he asked, his voice low and rough with emotion.Nicole's eyes searched Gage's face, trying to read his expression. She could see the worry and concern etched on his features, and it made her heart skip a beat."I'm okay," she said, trying to reassure him. "Just a little banged up."Gage's eyes fell on Jack; the air in the room seemed to thicken with tension. Jack's eyes, a deep brown, locked onto Gage's, and for a moment, they just stared at each other. The anger and hostility emanating from both men was palpable, and Nicole could feel it like a living thing.Nicole's eyes darted back and forth between the two men, her brow furrowed in concern. She could sense the

Two days had passed since Nicole's accident, and she was finally being discharged from the hospital. Ashley was pushing her wheelchair through the corridor while Jack carried her bag. Nicole was smiling, looking relieved to be going home.As they turned a corner, Gage walked into the corridor, his eyes scanning the area until they landed on Nicole. He quickened his pace, his long strides eating up the distance."Hey, where are you guys off to?" Gage asked, his eyes locked on Ashley."We're heading home," Ashley replied, smiling. "Nicole got discharged."Gage nodded, his eyes flicking to Nicole. "Okay, I'll drive you home," he said, his voice matter-of-fact.But before Ashley could respond, Jack spoke up. "No need, I've got my car," he said, his eyes meeting Gage's.Gage's expression turned cold, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at Jack. For a moment, the two men just stared at each other, the tension between them palpable.Nicole, sensing the awkwardness, spoke up. "Uh, thanks

The night air was filled with the warm scent of dinner, and Karen's house was aglow with soft lighting. Nicole and Ashley were chatting and laughing as they helped their mom put the finishing touches on the meal.Lucas and Gage arrived together, Lucas flashing a charming smile as he greeted Karen and the girls. Gage, on the other hand, was more subdued, his eyes scanning the room before coming to rest on Nicole.Nicole felt a flutter in her chest as their eyes met, but Gage's expression was neutral, giving away nothing. She smiled and waved, trying to play it cool, but she couldn't help feeling a little hurt by his distant behavior.Jack arrived a few minutes later, bearing a bouquet of flowers for Karen. "Thanks for having us over, Karen," he said, smiling warmly.Karen beamed with pride, hugging Jack and thanking him for the flowers.

Nicole's eyes searched Gage's face, concern etched in her features. "What happened to you, Gage? You look so...different."Gage's gaze snapped to hers, his eyes narrowing. "Really, Nicole? I've changed. What about you?"Nicole's brow furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean?"Gage's voice took on a low, intense tone. "After coming here, you've changed a lot. Because of your childhood friend, I presume? You didn't pick up my calls, you didn't reply to my messages...you said nothing to me. You need to stay away from him, Nicole. He's not good for you."Nicole's expression turned defensive. "It's not like that, okay? I've just been busy. And by the way, why do I need to explain myself to you?"Gage's eyes flashed with emotion, but he seemed to struggle to find the words. "Because...because..."Nicole finished the sentence for him, her voice firm. "Because we were just friends, and you have no right to interfere in my life, Gage."Gage's face twisted in a mixture of pain and anger. "We sp

Gage's foot pressed down on the accelerator, the speedometer needle climbing higher as he devoured the distance. But his mind was elsewhere, consumed by a maelstrom of emotions.He couldn't understand what was happening to him. Why had he spoken to Nicole like that? The venomous words still lingered on his lips, leaving a bitter taste. He regretted every syllable, every hurtful phrase.Gage's thoughts drifted back to the moments they had shared together. He had always loved her company, her sparkling laughter, and her quick wit. Her personality was infectious, drawing him in like a moth to a flame.As he drove, memories flooded his mind. He remembered the way Nicole's eyes crinkled at the corners when she smiled, the way her hair fell in soft waves down her back. He recalled the way she made him feel, like he was the only person in the world.Gage's grip on the steering wheel tightened.Gage's thoughts continued to swirl; he remembered the words Nicole had spoken earlier.

Nicole slowly opened her eyes, the morning light streaming in through the window and illuminating the room. She lay in bed for a moment, her mind foggy from the events of the previous night. But as she stirred, memories began to flood back, and she was hit with a wave of emotions.She remembered the bitter words Gage had spoken, the way he had cut her down and made her feel worthless.But she also remembered Jack's confession, the way he had looked at her with such sincerity and affection. She remembered the way he had made her feel, like she was special and worthy of love.She wanted to fulfill her mother's last wish: to find happiness and love. And as she thought about it, Nicole knew that she needed someone to help her achieve that goal. She needed someone who would support her, encourage her, and love her for who she was.Gage was just an unwanted chapter in her life; now, she was ready to close that chapter and move on.****Gage's apartment doorbell rang persistently, piercing t

Karen's expression turned concerned, and she sat down beside Nicole on the couch. "Are you sure, Nicole? You don't have to come until you're feeling better. You're still recovering, and I don't want you to overexert yourself."Nicole shook her head, her eyes shining with determination. "I'm fine, Mom. Don't worry about me. I can walk now, and I want to get out of the house and do something. I want to spend time with you and help out at the bakery."Karen's face softened, and she smiled at her daughter. "Okay, sweetie. If you're sure you're up to it, then I'd love to have you come with me to the bakery. We can take it easy, and you can just help out with some of the lighter tasks."Nicole's face lit up with a bright smile, and she threw her arms around her mother's neck. "Thank you, Mom. I promise I'll be careful and not overdo it."Karen hugged her daughter back, feeling a sense of pride and love for her strong and determined child. "I know you will, sweetie. Now, let's get ready and

Nicole and Jack stood side by side, their hands moving in tandem as they mixed and kneaded the dough. The kitchen was filled with the sweet scent of sugar and flour, and the sound of their laughter echoed off the walls."I'm surprised you're not a disaster in the kitchen," Nicole teased, her eyes sparkling with amusement.Jack chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Hey, I resent that. I'm a quick learner."Nicole smiled, remembering their childhood days. "I'm impressed. You were always more of a ' grab a pizza' kind of guy, even back in elementary school."Jack grinned. "Hey, that was just convenience. I've refined my tastes since then."As they worked, Karen watched from the doorway, a warm smile on her face. She loved seeing her daughter happy, and Jack seemed to bring out the best in Nicole. She was glad to see them reconnecting after all these years. They had grown up together, from elementary school to high school, and it was nice to see their friendship rekindled.As Nico

But now, it seemed like she was back to square one.She walked over to a nearby bench and sat down, feeling defeated. She buried her face in her hands, trying to process her emotions.

Why did she always have to push away the people she loved?As she sat there, Nicole's mind began to wander back to Gage.She suddenly remembered something that made her heart skip a beat. She quickly grabbed her bag and stood up, her mind racing with possibilities. Without hesitation, Nicole walked back into the airport.****The sun was setting over the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the small island that Gage owned.

The plane taxied down the runway; Nicole's mind was a whirlwind of emotions. Gage's words from the book kept echoing in her mind, reminding her of the depth of his love for her. She couldn't shake off the feeling that she was running away from something precious, something that could have been hers if only she had realized it sooner.The thought of Gage giving his heart to her, and now, unknowingly, giving her a part of himself through their baby, was almost too much to bear. Nicole felt a pang of guilt and regret, wondering how she could have been so blind to Gage's feelings.Suddenly, she stood up, her movements abrupt and decisive. The flight attendant, caught off guard, hurried over to her. "Ma'am, please sit down. We're about to take off."But Nicole didn't listen. She grabbed her bag and began to walk towards the exit, her eyes fixed on the door. The flight attendant tried to stop her, but Nicole pushed past her, determined to get off the plane."Ma'am, you can't just get off th

Nicole stepped down from the stairs, her eyes fixed on the floor as she made her way to the front door. Her dad, sister, and Lucas were all standing in the living room, watching her with a mix of sadness and understanding.Ashley walked towards her, concern etched on her face. "Nicole, do you really want to go?" she asked, her voice soft.Nicole nodded, her eyes welling up with tears. "I need to go, Ash," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Now that Mom is gone, this house just feels empty. I'm not used to being here without her. I need to get out of here and start fresh somewhere else."Her father, Henry, walked towards her, his eyes filled with compassion. "We understand, baby," he said, his voice gentle. "We'll miss you, but we understand that you need to do this."Nicole's eyes overflowed with tears as she hugged her father tightly.

Nicole stepped up to the microphone, her eyes scanning the crowd of mourners gathered to pay their respects to her mother. She took a deep breath and began to speak, her voice calm and steady."My mom was an incredible woman," she started, her words echoing through the silence. "She was a great wife, a great mom, and a great person. She had every opportunity to leave us, to start a new life after our dad left. But she chose to stay with us, to raise us on her own, and to give us the best life possible."Nicole's voice cracked slightly as she spoke, but she continued, her words pouring out from the heart."As a daughter, I have to admit that I failed my mom. I never understood her, I never appreciated her sacrifices, and I never thanked her enough for everything she did for me. She always put Ashley and me first, always prioritizing our needs above her own. And yet, I repaid her by being selfish, by running away from her when she needed me most."Nicole's tears began to fall, streaming

They walked towards the doctor, their eyes fixed on his face, searching for any sign of hope.But the doctor's expression was grim, his eyes cast downward. He seemed to be struggling to find the words to say."Doctor?" Nicole asked, her voice trembling with anxiety. "What's going on? How's my mom?"The doctor didn't respond, his silence hanging in the air like a heavy weight."Doctor, please," Nicole asked again, her voice growing more urgent. "Tell me what's going on. Is my mom okay?"The doctor still didn't respond, his eyes fixed on the floor.Nicole's anxiety turned to desperation, and she reached out and grabbed the doctor's collar, her hands shaking with fear."Tell me!" she demanded, her voice hoarse with emotion. "What's going on with my mom?"Her father intervened, gently prying Nicole's hands off the doctor's collar."Nicole, honey, stop," he said, his voice calm and soot
Tempting Hot Neighbor Chapter 100
Nicole drove to the hospital; she couldn't help but think about the events of the past few days. Ashley and Lucas had just left for their honeymoon, and despite Ashley's initial hesitation to leave her mother's side, Nicole had assured her that she would take care of their mom. Nicole had reminded Ashley that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and that she should go and enjoy her honeymoon with Lucas.Now, as Nicole drove to the hospital, she was filled with a mix of emotions.

Nicole took a deep breath and began to explain the situation to Ashley. "Ash, you know how Gage and I were in a friends with benefits agreement? Well, things got complicated. Gage fell for me, and I...I couldn't deny that there was something between us. Something that I couldn't connect with Jack."Ashley's eyes widened in surprise, but Nicole continued. "I know it's not fully Jack's fault that he didn't trust me. I never let him get close to me, not really. But with Gage...it was different. His touch, his kiss... it melted me, Ash. I couldn't deny it, no matter how hard I tried."Nicole's voice cracked as she remembered the pain she had felt. "And then Jack broke up with me, which hurt me, Ash. He said things that cut deep, and I realized that I deserved better. That's why I agreed to go to Paris, to get away from all this mess."Ashley's expression softened, and she reached out to take Nicole's hand. "But now...now you're pregnant with Gage's child," she said gently.Nicole nodded,

Ashley stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her wedding veil as Nicole sat on the bed, watching her with a warm smile."You look beautiful, Ash," Nicole said, her eyes shining with happiness.Ashley turned to her, her face radiant with excitement. "Thanks, Nic. I'm so nervous. What if I trip on my dress? What if Lucas forgets his vows?"Nicole laughed, getting up from the bed to give Ashley a reassuring hug. "You'll be fine, Ash. You've been preparing for this day for months. And Lucas loves you; he'll never forget his vows."Just then, there was a knock on the door. Nicole walked over to answer it, expecting it to be one of the wedding planners or maybe Lucas himself.But when she opened the door, she was shocked to see Gage standing there, looking handsome but somber in his suit. They stared at each other for a moment, the tension between them palpable.Nicole's heart was racing as she tried to process why Gage was here. They hadn't spoken since she slapped him, and she had been
