Weeks had gone by since Nicole accepted Gabriel’s offer, but they had never gone out together as the 'supposed couple' which made Nicole feel sad. Gabriel had asked her to act as his fiancée for six months but she never felt like one even for a second. He was always imprisoning himself with work and Nicole was beginning to feel concerned, he needed some sort of distraction to get him off his busy lifestyle even if it was only for a day, but Gabriel wasn’t giving her the chance no matter how hard she tried.
Nicole had no idea why he was like that, maybe it was because he still sees her as a stranger and doesn’t want to warm up to her or maybe, he had a rough past, either way, Nicole was still willing to give it another try. She only hopes not to get disappointed in the end.
Gabriel was in his bedroom getting ready for work when he heard a knock on his door.
<Gabriel took a quick shower and got dressed in a black suit. When he was done, he went downstairs to wait for Nicole in the living room.While waiting for Nicole, he decided to call Daniel, a famous chef in New York and also a friend of his, whose restaurant was built by his company.Daniel had once told him that he was always welcome to come by his restaurant anytime because, he was his special guest.Gabriel didn’t want to abuse that privilege, instead he called Daniel to let him know that he urgently needed reservation for a table of two.Gabriel waited twenty more minutes for Nicole before he saw her coming down the stairs.She looked incredibly beautiful in the black off shoulder bodycon mini dress and peep-toe ankle platforms she wore.He wondered how ladies could walk in heels as high as those.Her hair was wrapped up in a side part bun.T
“And you?... Why aren’t you in a relationship?” Gabriel asked taking Nicole by surprise.She hasn’t talked to anyone about her personal life. Vanessa and Rick were are friends but she wasn’t so close to them on a personal level because of what had happened to her in the past.“I-um. I had a rough relationship.” she replied taking a sip from her wine, hoping it help calm her nervousness.“Look, If you don’t-““No, no, it’s fine. I actually want to talk about it since I haven’t done that with anyone. It eats me up sometimes.” she said cutting him off.“I had this boyfriend from high school. We were so in love, or so I thought.” she began with a shaky smile.Gabriel knew she was only smiling to cover her pain. He gently placed his hand on hers, showing h
Three months had gone by since Gabriel and Nicole started their fake relationship. Everything has been fine between them. They’ve also gone out on several dates.It was late at night on a certain day, Gabriel was in his study working as he usually does when Nicole walked in.“Hey.” She greeted, taking a seat across him.“Hey.” He replied and went back to what he was doing.The room was quiet for a while before Nicole spoke up again.“What do you always do with all these documents?” she asked, leaving her seat and walked to Gabriel, standing behind him.“I’m working.” He flatly replied.“It’s quite obvious you’re working. What I want to know is do you understand all this stuff?... I mean, doesn’t it get complicated sometim
Nicole hurriedly went to look for the house administrator, she needed him to get a doctor to come check up on Gabriel. When she did that, she instructed the maids to make chicken soup for Gabriel.After about half an hour the doctor arrived. He did a check up on Gabriel and told Nicole that he was down with a fever. He prescribed some medication for Gabriel and told Nicole how and when they were to be taken. He also told her that Gabriel needed to rest for a week.Before leaving, the doctor strictly told Gabriel not to wear himself out with too much work when he eventually gets better.Nicole thanked the doctor for his time and saw him out. She ordered one of the maids to go buy the prescribed drugs, then she returned to Gabriel’s room and told him to shower before taking his drugs.He dragged himself out of bed and Nicole helped him to the bathroom. She ran his bath and went into
Nicole ran into her bedroom. She slumped on her bed, crying.This was a mistake. She never should’ve agreed to such an offer.She thought he was different. She was starting to see some kindness in him, but she was wrong.She had tried to make him warm up to her after all those months of him being closed off. She even cared for him during his illness, but still he doesn’t see her as a friend.How could she be so stupid to develop strong feelings for him.How was she going to get him off her mind, now?She needs to get over him. She encouraged herself after being done crying her eyes out.Nicole stood up from the bed and went into the bathroom, to wash off the tear stain on her face.After that, she headed downstairs and asked a maid to tell her chauffeur to get a car ready for her.
Nicole stood in front of the mirror staring at her reflection. She looked paler than she used to be and had lost some pounds. How did she get to this point? She wondered. She applied some makeup to hide the paleness under her eyes. She wore a brown crop top and white jeggings with gladiator heels. She wrapped her hair in a ponytail and looked at herself in the mirror one last time before picking up her brown jacket and phone from the bed and headed out of her apartment.Nicole went to a coffee shop to have some cupcakes and coffee. She didn’t realize how much she has missed a proper meal until she felt this one on her tongue.After finishing her breakfast, she bought some donuts that she would take home before leaving the shop. She also bought a newspaper in hopes of finding a new job on the advertisement page. After getting the paper, she headed home. Nicole got bac
When they got to the mansion, Nicole surprisingly had this feeling of being at home. She quickly refrained herself from having that kind of feeling because soon, she would be leaving the mansion for good, when Gabriel’s parents are gone.Gabriel went to the kitchen as soon as they got inside, probably to keep to his promise.Nicole decided to head to her bedroom. She had missed that place a lot because it was now her safe haven.She opened the door to the bedroom and noticed it was spotlessly clean. She looked through her closet and found out that her things were just how she had left them. Just then she heard a knock.“Come in.” she said walking out of the closet. Gabriel appeared in the room.“I wanted to let you know that I’ve ordered the chefs to make your donuts.”“Thank.” She quietly replied.
Gabriel went downstairs and saw his parents seated in the living room.“Hi mom. Hi dad.” he greeted as he walked into the living room.“Hi son.” his dad replied.“Oh honey, how are you? My God! Gabriel you’ve lost weight.” his mom exclaimed.“Mom. I’m fine.” Gabriel replied, hugging his mom.“Why didn’t you tell me about Nicole? I felt hurt finding out from Charles.” his mom scolded.Wow! She already remembers her name, that was fast, Gabriel thought to himself.“I planned on bringing her over but I was too busy, I couldn’t make out time for that. I’m sorry.” Gabriel lied.“You’re always busy, don’t you get tired?” his mom replied.“So where is sh
Few days has passed since Nicole moved to Miami Florida. She loved the mansion Gabriel got for her. She had employees at her beck and call all thanks to him, but she felt like she had accomplished nothing. None of the things she had now could give her true happiness like she thought they would. Well, what do they say? ‘The rich also cry’ so, she guess since she was now rich, not being able to be with Gabriel, the man she lives with her whole heart was her own reason to cry. Nicole was by her pool side, lying on the deck chair with her eyes closed while having these thoughts. She wanted to get a tan, so she was having a sun bathe when suddenly she didn’t feel the ray of the sunshine on her skin, she wondered what could’ve caused it, so she opened her eyes and was shocked to see Gabriel standing there, dressed casually, he was the cause of the sudden shade.What was he doing her
Gabriel’s parents travelled back to Las Vegas after they returned back from their honeymoon.Nicole returned back to her own bedroom to Gabriel’s displeasure, but he couldn’t complain. A week had passed and everything went back to normal like it used to be before Gabriel’s parents showed up.Gabriel went back to work. He was stressed out with the much work he had to deal with and also because he had been doing a lot of thinking for the past days.He had been trying to come up with a reasonable story to come up with in regards to his relationship with Nicole, when they go their separate ways.He had to come up with a good enough excuse that his parents will easily believe, because he was more worried with his parents reaction to their breakup than even the public’s reaction.After thinking for days, Gabriel eve
It was almost dawn, Nicole was fast asleep in Gabriel’s arms while he watched her sleep. He couldn’t help but stare at her beautiful face, she looked so peaceful while asleep. She gave him the greatest gift he could ever desire from her, her body.Making love to Nicole in reality was far more better than he had imagined it, if only she knew how much he loves her and how much he wishes to spend the rest of his life with her.If only he could tell her to her face.He let out a heavy sigh, wondering what their relationship would be like after this time.“I love you, Nicole.” he whispered, placing a kiss on her head before trying to get some sleep. Nicole woke up with so much happiness inside her. She just had the sweetest dream, where Gabriel confessed how much he loved her and they lived happily ever aft
Gabriel and Nicole got to the island where they would be spending their honeymoon in a helicopter.The island belongs to Gabriel’s family.Nicole stood in awe of the place. The landscape is beautiful, with a beach to Nicole’s excitement.The mansion is huge and the electricity was being powered by a generator.Nicole never imagined that she’d one day be on an island that belonged to a wealthy person, not as a tourist but as a home. A place where she’d spend her honeymoon. She could live out here all her life.Gabriel watched as Nicole stared at the island with so much interest. He couldn’t help but smile at how innocent and childlike she looked sometimes.When Nicole was done admiring the place, she ran up to Gabriel and took his hand in hers as they walked into the mansion.They were welcomed by maids who were sent
Nicole was now alone in the room. Her friends left after chatting with her for a while because they needed to be at the church to await her arrival. She was quite nervous so she took a glass of wine to help ease her nervousness. Now that she was fully dressed did she realize she was really getting married to Gabriel and there was no way they could both avoid it, it had to happen.She sat on the bed with her hands shaking due to how nervous she was when she heard a knock on the door, she was startled and immediately stood up, telling whoever it was to come in. The door opened and Jacob, Gabriel’s dad walked in. He couldn’t hide his look of surprise at first before he composed himself and smiled brightly at Nicole. She smiled back to conceal her nervousness.“You look amazing.” he said, walking towards her.“Gabriel is lucky to have found you… and I'm proud to call
The day of the wedding finally came. Gabriel woke up quite early because he was nervous. He never believed he’d get married after Ashley broke up with him.All of this façade was only to give an impression that there was someone in his life, now things are now mixed up and complicated.Gabriel hasn’t see Nicole in three days. He didn’t know she was being serious about him not seeing her until the day of their wedding.They could only talk on the phone, since she did everything in her room.He had missed seeing those beautiful eyes and lovely smile of hers. He could only hear her mesmerizing voice and laughter, when they talked over the phone.He missed seeing her beautiful face and most of all, her legs that turned him on.He couldn’t help but think about what she would be doing right now.Was she already awake?
It was four days to the wedding, Gabriel was busy in his office because after today, he wouldn’t be going to the office in preparation for the wedding and he didn’t want his desk piled up with papers and files when he returns from his honeymoon, so he decided to work late.It was already 9:00pm when he was done working, he was exhausted and needed to rest so he tidied his desk and left his office.Gabriel got home and found his parents and Nicole in the living room. Nicole looked upset, he wondered who or what had upset her, she didn’t walk up to him to give him a welcome kiss like she used to.“Is everything okay?” he asked, gaining their attention.“Everything would’ve been okay if you remembered to pick up your tux today.” his mom angrily replied.Nicole stood up from the couch and walked towards him.
Samantha came to Gabriel’s office two days later, after her last visit. She asked the secretary to know if he was in and was told he was in his office. She then asked the secretary not to announce her arrival, that Gabriel was already expecting her. She also requested that no one comes into the office, because they would be having a private meeting, so there should be no interruptions, whatsoever.“Okay ma'am.” The secretary replied before Samantha made her way into Gabriel’s office.Gabriel was busy on his laptop when he heard the door to his office open, revealing Samantha. She wore a pink v-neck spaghetti strap bodycon dress. It had a cut out on the sides, showing off some of her skin . The dress hugged her body so tight and revealed much of her cleavage.Any man seeing Samantha in that dress would swoon over her, but not Gabriel. He had none of that in mind,
Nicole, Gabriel and his parents were in the dinning room having breakfast on a Monday morning.“You two couldn’t keep your hands to yourself Saturday night.” Helen teased, causing Gabriel and Nicole to stare at her in surprise.“Oh, don’t give me that look. I noticed you guys weren’t coming downstairs to see your guests off, so I came to your bedroom and saw you both sound asleep in each other’s arms.” she explained, making Nicole blush in embarrassment.“Honey. Can you just let them be?” Jacob said to his wife.“What did I do?” Helen asked in confusion.“I mean, I like the fact that she can make my son go to bed early, unlike you.”Jacob rolled his eyes at his wife’s statement and continued eating.Nicole couldn’t help but
