He wanted to apologize to her and also see if they can still be together. After losing everything, he had realized that the person he loved all this while was Nicole. He had always loved her but was blinded by lust and had abandoned her. He felt bad and wanted to set things straight once and for all.

He adjusted the suit he was wearing and touched his hair to see that it was well permed and there wasn't anyone out of place.

    142.**Author's POV**“You've got to be kidding me right now.” Nicole spoke up after a while. After all these months, he treated her like trash, got married to Kayla, and now he had the guts to tell her he still loved her? Was he expecting her to scream for joy and jump into his arms?Frederick dabbed his fingers together. “I know it's hard to believe but it has always been you, Nicole. You have always been the woman I loved. I just didn't realize it until recently.” He confessed, hoping she would understand him.“You just realized it until recently? You made me go through hell, Frederick. I lost my job due to a scandal orchestrated by someone I called a best friend and needed a shoulder to cry on. I ran to you because you were the only person I could lean on and also because I loved you so much and felt you loved me as well, but what were you doing? You were cheating on me with the same best friend that put me into a lot of mess. Even at that, I pleaded with you; I still wanted to ov

    143.**Author's POV**Easton pondered on what Melissa had said. There was no way Nicole would leave him for Frederick, right? She wouldn't leave him, who loves her dearly for a man that has done nothing but caused her pain, right? Suddenly, he started to regret allowing her to go meet him in the first place. If he had known this was what it meant, he wouldn't have allowed her to go see Frederick all by herself or better still, he would have gone with her.While he was still thinking, his subconscious mind was of the opinion that Nicole wasn't a fool that would do such a thing. She was a smart and strong lady, and wouldn't fall for her Ex's lies that easily.On one hand, he doubted and on the other hand, he believed she wouldn't do that to him. He loved her so much and won't be able to bear the thought of her leaving him for someone else.The door to the restaurant opened and Nicole walked in. She looked around and saw Easton seated with Melissa, so she approached them. When Easton loo

    144.**Melissa’s POV**With my back leaned on the bathroom door, I ran my hands through my hair and heaved a deep breath. My hands subconsciously went to my chest and I rubbed it. What was wrong with me? I hated her, yes I admit, but what was this feeling of hurt whenever she acts cute with Easton? Why did it hurt me so much?I walked to the mirror near the sink and glanced at my reflection. I looked downcasted and devastated. I looked closely and saw that my eyes were brimming with water, before I knew it, tears rolled down my cheeks and I gasped, wondering what was actually wrong with me.I wuick wiped my tears as my thoughts went to Easton again. Don’t tell me I haven’t gotten over him after all these years? I had come all the way here with the sole purpose of acting like I still had feelings for him and bringing him close to me so he can disclose where the documents is and I’d give it to Ariana and Carson, but why? Why was the feelings I had when we were kids coming back?I quic

There was no doubt she was doing this to make me angry and fortunately for her, she was doing a damn good job.I didn’t trust her one bit and followed Easton. I entered the room and saw that he had laid her on the bed. Her eyes were half closed as he covered her with the duvet and took off her shoes.How close were they as friends for him to have done this for her? What the heck?When he was done, he turned to leave but that bitch held his hand and pulled him to sit on the bed.“Please stay with me tonight. Don’t leave me here.” She whispered and I couldn’t help but scoff.If she thinks I’m going to allow Easton spend the night with her, then she was definitely wrong. I walked to the bed and folded my arms as I stared at her, nothing but disgust written all over my face.“I believe you know he i

    146.**Author's POV**The next morning, Easton was awake and had gotten dressed. He went to check on Nicole but her door was slammed shut. She used to be usually out by this time so he wondered what she was still doing in? Or was she still angry about what happened last night?He facepalmed and heaved a deep breath. He realized he shouldn't have spoken to her like that. He should have tried to calm her down instead of getting her more angry. It's just that he hated when others said something unpleasant about his close friends, and Melissa was dear to him.He could remember how they used to be before he left and looked for his own path. He could also recall how they talked to each other before things got busy for them both and they lost contact and forgot about each other. He had been happy that she came back to him after all these years, and that alone is enough reason for him to shower her with affection. For her to have come back, it meant she was a good friend and she cared for him.

First of all, she barged into his office without properly introducing herself and annoying him, now she was beating around the bush? Who was this woman?“I believe you're literate and you should understand when someone tells you about joining forces?” She asked and his brows furrowed in confusion again. “Well, what I meant was that I want you to join me and together we will ruin Easton and Nicole's relationship.” Frederick looked at her and burst into a fit of laughter. Now he knew that this lady was literally out of her mind. “Do I look like a joke to you? How dare you come into my office to make such an obnoxious comment?” He asked and Melissa rolled her eyes.“You're sensible enough to know what you want, Frederick and the person you want is Nicole. Don't pretend. I know that you've been pestering

She had no idea.“Why did you bring me here, Mister?” She asked, acting like she didn't hear when he told her he wanted her to forgive him.Easton licked his lower lip and dabbed his index fingers together with a cute expression on his face. He had no idea where to start his apology from. Nicole wanted to laugh so hard at how cute he was acting, but she maintained her composure. She wasn't going to let him know that she had actually missed him.He heaved a deep breath to calm himself down. “I want to apologize to you.”“For?” She asked, feigning ignorance.“For the way I spoke to you. I shouldn't have gone that far and I'm deeply sorry. Please, I don't want you to be angry at me anymore. It fucking kills me to even have the thought that you are not happy with me. I'm sorry and I will never try such nonsense again.” He let it all out and Nicole

She had no idea why he wouldn’t let her be. She had already made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with him and can’t comprehend why he won’t forget about her and go about his life the way he was supposed to.“Please, Nicole, just give me another chance. I can live without you!” He exclaimed and scoffed.When he was hurting her years ago, he acted like he was repulsed by her presence and disgusted by the sight of her. He made a fool out of her, and now he was telling her that he couldn’t live without her?She snickered. “Don’t stop me again, Frederick, else I will be forced to issue a complaint against you.” She warned and turned to leave, but he held her.Nicole yanked her hands away from him, and he grabbed her hand again. “I will do all I can to get you, Nicole.

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.

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.

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?
