NICOLE"What are you, a body guard or a slave? You have been trotting behind her since yesterday."I clenched my fingers to calm myself down." Bitches like you know only how to steal other people's boyfriend." She said, twirling the hair in her hand.Her words infuriated me, plus the scornful glares of her stupid minions."Pakkkk”, a hard slap landed on her right cheek the moment she finished her words.She gasped as she looked at me in shock." This isn't high school where you get to bully weak girls, besides I'm not a simp that you can step on as you wish”“If you're so much interested in getting a Maybach or Lamborghini, why don't you sell yourself as you claim I did."Her face had a clear palm print of my hands on them."But I guess no one will ever want you with that saggy body and the fake eyes of yours, If I should take a closer look almost everything about you is fake except for your teeth, you should try going for checkups lest you look worse in a year."Her swollen face wa
NICOLE "Fuck you, Nicole!" Tim shouted, grunting on the floor as I tried to make my exit.But just my luck, I ended up bumping into Mr. Johnson, the lecturer who was supposed to teach me that day.“Whoa, sorry about that, Mr. Johnson. Totally didn't mean to crash into you," I blurted out, not giving a damn about his nasty glares."Sure thing, you've got some guts, but I won't blame you. I guess your sugar daddy's gonna bail you out," he said with a wicked grin.“What? No way, Mr. Johnson!" I exclaimed, completely taken aback."Come on, Nicole, you don't have to play innocent. I'm your teacher, for crying out loud," he remarked, sounding way too smug for my liking.I couldn't believe Mr. Johnson was also caught up in their nonsense. What was happening to people?"Look, I'm genuinely sorry for accidentally bumping into you, Mr. Johnson. I'll just go now," I muttered, stepping aside to create some distance from the gathering crowd.As I tried to walk away, he grabbed my arm with the sam
NICOLE Marcus carried me to the dining room, insisting that I eat something despite the late hour."Isn't it too late to eat, Marcus? I can just wait until tomorrow," I questioned, feeling hesitant about eating.“Mia told me you haven't had anything since noon yesterday," he replied, taking a seat beside me."Mmm, yeah, I just went straight to bed after coming home from school yesterday," I deliberately avoided mentioning the incident that had occurred.I couldn't help but wonder what the fallout would be for Mr. John, the jerk who publicly humiliated and laid a hand on me. Part of me wanted him to face some serious consequences, but there was also this weird uncertainty nagging at me.Sure, my new lifestyle had brought me plenty of envy and attention.Under the table, Marcus discreetly held my hand, his fingers gently rubbing against mine.“Don't worry, Nic. I'll make sure those jerks get what they deserve. I'm sorry you had to go through all this crap, but I want you to know that
NICOLE"I'll be right back, Nicole. Let me go get the doctor," Marcus said hastily before dashing out of the ward.A few minutes later, the doctor entered the room, with Marcus right by his side."How are you feeling, Nicole?" the doctor asked, approaching me with his trusty stethoscope."I'm feeling a bit better, doctor. Is there something wrong with me?" I asked, a hint of confusion in my voice. Marcus seemed to have conveniently left out the part about how long I had been in the hospital.The doctor reviewed my results and replied, "Based on the data, if everything goes well, you should be able to leave the hospital in a week or less."I was taken aback. "But doctor, all I remember is having a fever. How long have I been here, and why do I need to stay in the hospital for a whole week?"I glanced at Marcus, hoping for some explanation. He walked over and handed me a bottle of water he had in his hands.“If there's nothing else, doctor, you can leave. We need some private time alon
NICOLEI could hear Marcus talking loudly on the phone from outside the room, trying to explain himself to Mariella.Mia held my hands tightly, as if she could feel my emotions in that moment.Tears rolled down my face as Marcus continued his conversation. It felt like we were having some twisted love triangle, and it stung to see him giving so much attention to Mariella.I wiped away the tears, trying to regain my composure, when Marcus walked back into the ward. He reached out to touch me, but I pulled away, shaking my head."I just need to take a nap, okay? Can you please leave for now?" I said, turning away from him and burying my face in the pillow. I needed some time to myself, away from the confusion and hurt that had taken over my heart." Nicole” , Marcus called out from behind.I pretended to be asleep, not wanting to face him. No matter what he said, I couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal whenever I thought of him talking to Mariella."Don't even think about touching
NICOLE I nodded in agreement, understanding the sentiments behind his words. Our hands intertwined under the water, conveying our affection for each other.With his hands gently guiding me, my head lifted, giving him the upper hand."I've missed you so much Nicole, I miss your touch, your hugs and I don't even know everything about you”. He said, pressing his lips closer to mine.I wrapped my hands around his neck, drawing closer to him"I've missed you too," I said and kissed him hard, the water in the pool ruffled against our movements in the water." Mmmmm”, I mumbled under his intense kisses, a hand around my waistMarcus carried my petite body onto the edge of the pool and pressed down on my body.I could feel the hard-on in his lower body with my hands, which made me smile, a faint pink blush appeared on my face, the lights of the swimming pool Shone on our wet bodies shimmering under the lights.My body made contact with the cold slab tile on the edge of the pool which made me
Chapter 76“Say that you want me Nicole," He whispered into my ears, clicking his tongue round mine.I gave no response to his words which made him thrust his hands deeper into my bud."Mmm, I want you""Say it again, slowly, and seductively.""I want you Marcus, I want you inside me”, I pleaded.The last straw of restraint was broken as he bent over and whispered in my ears." I love you Nicole, I'll make sure I go gently on you"A small trickle of tears fell from my face as Marcus lifted my legs up to his shoulder. He looked deeply into my eyes thrusting gently.I felt the feeling of his manhood inside me, I smacked my lips, running my tongue through the bottom." Please go faster Marcus”, I begged with my body shuddering"He seemed to have listened to my pleas and thrusted, deeply, sharply into me.His every thrust was fast and smooth.The room was filled with my moans and his groan, the smell of sex filled the air.I creamed and screamed under him, begging him not to stop, he pau
NICOLE I sat up on the table, hands behind me as he bent me over."Marcus, do you want me to die?!," I yelled in his mouth, feeling the hard-on in his sex."You should have thought about that when you continuously kept chattering to Mia.""But Marcus, we were just having friendly talks, and what's wrong in talking to a girl of my age and someone who came even talk back at that." My temper was rising but it did nothing to salvage the situation.Marcus did what he wanted to, in the dining room, back in the bathroom and only let go inside the bedroom after I fell unconscious." Fuck you, I said after pleading to no use."8 hours later.I woke up hours later after falling into a deep slumber, the room was silent and there was no sign of Marcus inside the room.I laid tiredly in bed, too weak to make any movement.My body ached badly as I tried to make a movement on the bed."Marcus was the cause of this" I muttered to myself.The door was clicked open and I saw Marcus walk into the room
"Daddy! Daddy! How does it look?"My eyes shifted from the desk to the little princess In front of me, she was holding her canvas and her eyes were glittering with so much love and hope, I never thought I would melt at such beauty but ever since I met Nicole, things changed.I was amazed at her realistic creation painting, it was a plant growing from the earth and it looked like I was watching it happen live."It's…" I paused for a while, pulling her closer to me. Ellie's eyes dulled and so her posture slacked with her emotional change."You don't like it?" It was almost a whimper before I scoffed."Ellie, I love it! It's so beautiful I wasn't able to comprehend it. It's something your mom would have painted." I smiled at her and she set the canvas down before jumping on my lap, "she'll be proud.""Do you think she's going to come back?" The question always stung my heart, I didn't have the answer to it, I've always had a solution for every problem, except for this one."Yes, she will
NICOLE “If you think some superhero is going to swoop in and save your sorry asses, then you thought wrong," Mariella sneered, her voice dripping with contempt.We were holed up in an underground house, a safe haven turned into a grim prison. Ellie and I sat huddled on the floor, our hair disheveled, our clothes stained and torn.Mariella paced around the room like she owned the place, her hand confidently planted on her hips. She chewed her gum obnoxiously, the sound echoing through the tense air.“Now that I think about it," she said, her words laced with cruel calculation. "How much should I sell you both for? Let's leave the little girl out of it. You, my dear, are worth way more than her. You're a package deal, two for the price of one."I instinctively placed my hand on my belly, a protective gesture that seemed to amuse Mariella. She let out a mocking laugh as she observed my action."Aww, Marcus' little heir is in there, huh? Poor baby," she sneered, scrunching down to my lev
MARCUSI sat at the dimly lit bar, swirling the drink in my hand, my mind wandered to Vicky. She had been nothing but kind to me. I prayed she was still alive, hoping that fate had spared her from the clutches of the child trafficking ring. I felt responsible for her since she had no one else to help her.She had no family or friends and she looked to me like a brother.My concerns deepened as the realization struck that I hadn't heard from Nicole in days. The last time we spoke was when I called and she informed me that she now had the company of a little girl at home.I was happy with that. At least she won't be lonely and would have someone to talk to. Even if it was just a child.I tried calling her number a few times, but it was unreachable. The bar had started to empty out, leaving only a rowdy group of girls. From the moment I arrived, I could feel their eyes on me, but I did my best to ignore their glances.As the place grew practically deserted, I couldn't help but notice o
NICOLE The police were still trying to trace Mariella’s location, yet nothing has been found. It was as if she was no longer on planet earth.I was trying to finish up another of my paintings that I had started a few days back. I was hoping to go donate it at the orphanage. These past weeks I've grown accustomed to visiting the place. Marcus came in and peeped at my work, nodding his head in approval. “You’re almost done”I smiled, “Yes I am. It just needs some finishing touches”“I'm going to the police station to see how far they've gone with the investigation, I'll be back in a few days” he said, stroking my back.“Alright. Be good” I watched Marcus leave the room, his footsteps fading away as he made his way toe find Vicky.With a sigh, I turned my attention back to my painting.Hours passed, and my painting finally took its final form.I stepped back to admire it. It was a depiction of a serene meadow, with blooming flowers and a radiant sunset in the background.I prepared to l
MARCUSAll three of us sat at the dining table, the aroma of freshly cooked waffles and sausages filling the air. I had woken up early, determined to mend the strained atmosphere with a delicious breakfast. Nicole, however, was still giving me the silent treatment, her expression somber as she pushed her food around her plate.The tension was palpable, and I could feel my own discomfort growing with each passing second. It seemed like an eternity until Vicky decided to break the ice.“Nicole," Vicky spoke up, her voice soft but pleading. Nicole looked up, her eyes meeting Vicky's gentle gaze. "Yeah?""I understand that you might be upset, but please don't take it all out on Marcus. He was just trying to help me”Nicole let out a sigh and muttered, "Don't worry about it. We're cool." But her dismissive tone revealed that she wasn't cool at all. She finished eating in silence, abruptly standing up from the table and leaving me and Vicky behind.Vicky let out a disappointed sigh, her ta
MARCUSRight now me and Nicole were sitting next to each other, and Mia was sitting across from us at the station. There was this barricade thing separating us.Nicole, being her stubborn self, had insisted that we take care of Mia's kid. And I had no choice but to go along with it. What else could I do? Nicole can be pretty persuasive when she wants to be.“Thank you both so much for forgiving me and forgetting the past. I don’t know how else I can thank you, but I really appreciate your effort” Mia clasped her hands together. Her nose was a bit swollen due to her condition, she was probably in her third Trimester while Nicole was in her second.“It’s fine. We are more than happy to help” Nicole beamed at her.I nodded in agreement, offering a smile to Mia. "Absolutely, Mia. We understand that people make mistakes, and we believe in giving second chances."She reached out to touch her swollen belly. "This baby means the world to me. I promise I'll do whatever it takes to make thing
NICOLEShe did a double take. “Nicole? What a surprise. I didn't know you were coming” Well, I didn't know it was going to be your house too. I pressed my lips together, attempting to regain composure. "Lovely home," I managed to say, glancing around at the interior."You're already drenched from the rain. Come, let me change you into a comfortable outfit," she offered, guiding me towards her room located down the hallway.So Marcus had sneaked out of the house to come to visit Vicky. I was getting closer to the answer but I didn't like how it was headed.Her room was big and painted in lavender. A cozy armchair was placed near a bookshelf. Nearby, a small vanity table displayed a collection of antique perfume bottles, a hand mirror, and a hairbrush.“You can take your seat over there” she gestured to the armchair and walked into her walk-in closet. After a moment, she emerged with this loose fitting dress and handed it to me.“Here," she said, passing me the clothes. "Put these on
NICOLE “Ms. Nicole?" the little voice called out, unsure. I looked down and recognized Ellie, the little girl I had met at the art gallery previously.What was she doing out here alone?I grinned. "Hey, Ellie. We meet again. How are you?""I'm fine. I'm so happy to see you," she smiled brightly. That was when I noticed the frame she was holding, wrapped in brown paper."What are you doing here all by yourself?"She gestured to the frame she was holding. It was a wonder how she was able to carry it alone. "Oh, I came to donate this work of art.""Really? That's so thoughtful of you," I said, holding her hands in mine and helping her carry the painting. "Come on, let's go submit it, and after that, we can get some ice cream. How does that sound?""Perfect!" she cheered. Together, we walked to the front desk, and I assisted her in signing her name before we dropped off the painting.I was still surprised that a girl of her age could come all the way to the orphanage without a guardian.
NICOLE“What is he doing here?" I poked the window of my car as I saw my husband standing at the entrance of some strange house. His composure seemed anxious and though I was no detective, he looked like he was about to do something shady.A figure opened the door and it looked like it was wearing a robe. A woman? Was it Vicky??I tried to look closer but I couldn't see her face, his body language softened when she opened the door and she let him in.Marcus was with another woman."No, I can't be thinking like this." I relaxed my back in the chair as I rubbed my temples, there was no way he could be cheating, not after everything we have been through but why would he choose to hide this from me? What was the big deal that he couldn't tell me he needed to see someone at 2 am?Oh.Realization dawned on me and I kicked the ignition, I needed to get home,he could come out at any time and he was a better driver. I revved the engine and off I was. The road was free, everyone was at home
