**Easton's POV**

She looked at me, surprised etched in her features because of what I said. I could see her cheeks turning red, and I wasn't ready to let her go without teasing her about it.

“Oh my! I'm seeing someone turning red already.” I folded my arms and she covered her face.

“Shut up!” She screamed, ran to the bed and took her nightgown before rushing into the bathroom again. I shook my head with a chuckle and made my way to the couch where I sat and took my laptop.

She stepped out of the bathroom with her nightgown on and I couldn't help but stare at her again. I knew models were hot but not this hot. And what was that effect she was having on me?

“Stop staring like a pervert!” She snapped at me and I scoffed.

“I wasn't staring at you. You have nothing for someone to stare at.” I huffed.

“Oh really?” She hummed and walked to stand in front of me, forgetting she was putting on a nightgown that was a little but transparent. I didn't want to look at her anymore because I have

    13.**Nicole's POV**I stood up from the bed and stretched to put my body in check. I wasn't able to get a good sleep until this morning.Who would sleep soundly knowing that her career was at the edge of the cliff? Since all these happened, I haven't been able to sleep well and I think it was starting to affect my body system.I kept turning and tossing in bed all night while Mr. Annoying slept like a baby. Speaking of which, where is he?I looked around the room but couldn't find him. The only thing that wafted past my nostrils was a scent of a male cologne.I got down and stepped out to go check out my room. I wouldn't want what happened last night to repeat itself.“That pervert! How can he look at me like he wanted to eat me whole and then tell me I'm not his type?” I scoffed and snorted. “Well, he's not my type too!”“Are you talking to yourself?”I turned to see Joan walking beside me. “Good morning.” She greeted and I nodded.“Did you sleep well?” I asked and she nodded.“How

    14.**Nicole's POV**I rushed to the bathroom and quickly took my bath. When I was done with the necessary stuff, I stepped into the walk-in closet and picked a red gown with a side slit.I let my hair down in waves, and did a moderate makeup to match. When I was done, I grabbed my car keys and stepped out.“Where are you off to, Miss. Nicole?” Butler Steve asked.“To take care of something important. I'll be back before you say boo!” I entered my car and drove out of the compound immediately.I met Emily at the bus stop and she got in.“Where did you say she was again?” I asked.“Starlets Model Agency, and she'll soon leave.” Emily answered, and I nodded, going faster than before.When we got there, I met her at the parking lot about to enter her car and quickly got down.“Demi!” I called and she turned to look at me. I walked up to her, but her security men blocked my path. She gestured for them to let me through and removed her sunglasses.“And you are?” She asked, making me wonder

    15.**Easton's POV**I sat in the office after the meeting, feeling uneasy. I had no idea why Nicole wasn't here already. I even went as far as looking down from the glass in my office to see if she had entered but there was no sight of her.I sighed and ran my hands through my hair. I don't know if I'd be able to wait much longer. A knock sounded on the door, drawing my attention.“Come in,” I answered and the door opened.My secretary, Linda, entered and bowed. “Sir, a lady is here to see you. I asked if she had an appointment but it seemed she had none. She said she had come to deliver something to you.”Finally!“Let her in,” I responded and she bowed before leaving. There was no doubt that it was Nicole coming. I wondered why Linda didn't look thrilled when she came to inform me that someone was here. There wasn't an uproar among the employees either. Was she in disguise?The door opened but what I didn't expect was to see Joan instead of Nicole.“I'm sorry for the delay, sir. The

    16.**Nicole's POV**When we arrived at the Ferdinand's mansion, my eyes widened in shock at the magnificence. I thought Easton's mansion was huge but this one? This one was even larger and grander. I could almost hear the oohs and aahs as my eyes danced over the intricate designs and lavish decor. It was clear that the Ferdinands were people of immense wealth and power.The butler greeted us at the door, his face expressionless as he led us inside. I felt like I was walking into a palace, not a home. Everywhere I looked, there was opulence and grandeur. Marble floors, crystal chandeliers, and priceless artwork lined the walls. The place was amazing. We got to the living room and met a man and woman in their late forty's or fifty's and no one needed to tell me that they were his parents.We walked up to them I bowed slightly.“Good evening, sir, ma.” I tried my best to smile at them but they looked at me with shock written all over their faces.“Good evening dad.” Easton greeted.

    17.**Nicole's POV**I woke up the next morning, feeling exhausted. I had no idea how someone who attended a dinner with her contract husband's family the previous night should be tired in the morning. It wasn't like I was forced to do any chores even though his mother's eyes were literally tearing me to pieces.I have a feeling the father didn't like me either considering I was the infamous Nicole Brennan, the model who slept with managers and CEOs to get to where she was today.I snorted at the thought and gave myself an assurance that at least, Easton's brother likes me and he has been the only one not acting like a dickhead. Not like I was going to be in their family forever though.With a sigh, I got down from the bed and freshened up. When I stepped out of the bathroom, a knock sounded on the door and knowing it was Joan, I muttered a “Come in.”She opened the door and walked in elegantly, making me wonder who the model was between the two of us. Not like I didn't like her, but t

That rude jerk!Gosh!“Nick?” Joan called as she entered the room.I didn't answer her and just paced around the room. What kind of a person did he take me for? Did he think I was interested in him and is acting all high and mighty? I scoffed.“He had the guts to make me feel bad just because I made breakfast,” I snickered. “What a jerk!”“You have to calm down. I understand how you feel.” Joan walked up to me.“No, you don't understand how I feel, Joan. Can you imagine nonsense? I was only trying to be nice but he keeps annoying me and making me feel like a nobody. I'm tired of his impudence. Gosh, I can't wait for this contract period to end.” I sat down and crossed my legs.Joan sat beside him. “You're in a contract marriage with him?” She asked and I nodded. “Whoa, I thought you two were married for real. I was so happy.”I scoffed. “Who would want to marry that kind of

    19.**Easton's POV**I sat in the office, trying to work on some files but was too distracted with what happened this morning to concentrate. I ruffled my hair as I remembered all the things I said to her. I had no idea why I was feeling weird and a bit regretful. Whatever! I don't care at all.I never asked her to be nice. I hated it when people pretended to care and then at the end of the day, they show you their true colors and just how much of a devil they can be. I couldn't wait for the company to be handed over to me, and then I'd divorce her for good.A knock sounded on the door, disrupting my thoughts. The door opened before I could say 'come in' and Maven entered. The expression on his face was not a good one, leaving me to wonder what was wrong this time.“Sir, I just got a call from your father.”“Yeah?” I waited for the news that he was ready to transfer the company to me, but Maven delayed speaking. “Talk, I'm listening. I haven't got all day.” I narrowed my eyes at him

Say it to my face!” She snapped and I chuckled.“Ariana.” Father called.“Stay out of this, Evan. I want your son to say it to my face.” She glared daggers at me.“I would love to, but then this confirms what I just said. He's a stay-at-home mummy's boy. I've said it, what are you gonna do about it?” She tried to slap me but I held her hand. “Be careful. You can get sued for laying a hand on this face.” I smiled and dropped her hands.“You!” She snapped.I turned to face Father, who just watched us without saying anything.“Do what is necessary and stop all these shenanigans, dad. You wouldn't have been seeing me if you had kept your part of the deal.”“You're disgusting!” Ariana snapped.“That's the best compliment I've had in years,” I winked at her and walked out of the office. I could hear her screaming in her shrill voice and telling dad how annoy

When she came into the house, she refused to acknowledge my mother as her co-wife and did all manner of things to get rid of her. All didn't work, and she resorted to poisoning her,” he explained, and the people present gasped.“That's not all, she made sure it was done neatly and did all she could to bury the secret in the rug.

Whenever we passed by a speed bump, her grip on me would tighten like she still couldn't believe I was alive and felt like I would vanish if she let me go. I placed a soft kiss on her forehead to remind her that I was going nowhere.Now that I have been granted a second chance to love her again, I would make her the happiest woman on earth. She looked at me with a huge smile on her face and I couldn't help but smile back. It was good to be back. We drove into the compound and I released a long breath.

She laughed out loud when she suddenly recalled what happened.“I must be delusional! No, I'm going crazy!” she exclaimed, placing her hand on her head. “How can I be so dumb, huh? I missed Easton so much that I now have hallucinations because of him.” she spoke to herself, tears rolling down her cheeks.“You were not hallucinating, Nicole, it's real. Easton is alive,” Maven walked in with Edwin and Mrs. Felicia.Nicole shook her head. “No, I'm going crazy. You all are lying. You're just saying this to make me feel better. Easton is dead,” she snapped, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I was at the hospital. Edwin, you were there too. He wasn't breathing. His body was cold and stiff and when I took his hand, it went limp! He got buried right before my eyes, so stop making it worse for me. Just take me to a mental asylum because it's obvious I've gone

I looked up at the ceiling and pictured Easton looking down on me. “Hey, handsome, today is my birthday. It was supposed to be my first birthday with you, and I had already thought of how today would have been, but everything got ruined. You died and left me all alone here to celebrate today on my own. You have plenty of explanations to give me when we see each other again, mister!” I snapped, hoping he would hear me wherever he was.I smiled as tears rolled down my cheeks. I quickly wiped them off as Mrs. Felicia's words rang in my ears. I stood to my feet; I should make this day worthwhile for myself and for him.I rushed into the bathroom and took my bath. When I was out, I walked straight to my wardrobe and scanned through the clothes I had. My eyes went to the

We agreed to go to court as planned, but the case was adjourned until next month due to reasons best known to the court.My birthday is tomorrow, and I had already intended to spend the day with Easton. If I can't spend it with him while he was alive, I can as well spend it beside his grave.This was supposed to be my first birthday with him and…I trailed off in my thoughts and wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks. I heaved a deep breath and stared at my computer. I missed Easton so much.

He was the best thing that has ever happened to me and I would forever be grateful to him for that.I checked my wristwatch and sucked in a deep breath. Why was Edwin not back yet?

Before I knew it, the door to the office opened and he rushed to me. “What is wrong with you? You can tell me anything.” He said and I sighed.“I'm scared, Edwin.

At this rate, she has turned into a machine.” Edwin answered with his arms folded.Doctor Faith smiled. “I thought as much,” She brought out a paper and wrote something in it. “Your body has been stressed lately and you need rest. I'd suggest you take a two weeks break, go out for exercise, do recreational activities and go out to have fun more often. Your body needs it.” She suggested and Nicole shook her head.“I don't need any of that. Just hand me some drugs and I will be fine.” She countered.“Of course I'll give you drugs that'll ease your fever and make you feel better, but I won't go back on my word, Ms. Brennan.

Edwin walked in with a tray of food in his hand. “Good morning,” He flashed her a smile and she returned it. She rushed to him and took the tray from him. “Good morning. You shouldn't have stressed yourself like this.” She ruffled her hair.“You were drunk last night. It's necessary that you take some hangover soup to help.” He replied, causing her to smile.“I'm already being a nuisance,” She sighed and sat on the bed. “I feel like I'm making you do a lot of strenous things, you know? You've been acting like a father and I've been more like a troublesome baby.” She placed the food in her mouth
