Vicious Comeback Of The Billionaire's Contracted Wife Chap. 25: ARE YOU JEALOUS?
25.**Nicole's POV**I drove into the compound and took in the surroundings. Outside was decorated beautifully with a red carpet that led to the entrance of the event hall. From the looks of things, it was going to be a grand event.I stepped down from the car with Emily and in minutes, reporters had flooded me. I rolled my eyes and glared at them.“Nicole Brennan—”“Oh please, don't you folks have something better to do with your time? Why are you people always all over me? Give me breathing space for once, please, I beg of you.” I told them. I wasn't ready to answer any of their questions or want to see them. They were part of the people that made all these things go out of hand, and it made me hate all of them.“Easton Ferdinand is here!” One of the female reporters screamed and before I knew it, they had left me and rushed to Easton who was stepping down from his car. Their cameras flashed countlessly as they tried to take a good clip of him.I sighed. Sure, he was popular and had

26.**Nicole's POV**Tears threatened to fall from my eyes as Kayla made her way to the stage, her hands firmly wrapped in Frederick's. I couldn't believe my eyes, even though it was as clear as day.I tightened my fists to hold back my tears. I had promised myself I wasn't going to cry over anything. I had promised myself to be strong. Anger seared through me as I watched her smiling proudly as she shook hands with Mr. Stark.I couldn't believe my best friend would take my position. How did she even do it? Last time I checked, Kayla was a rookie model that worked with smaller companies. Sure, she used to be on the runway and on the news sometimes, but it hasn't gotten to the extent of becoming an international model. This can't work out just like that. She couldn't have done it on her own.“To replace Nicole Brennan, we have Kayla Riggs as the new Aura Star Model,” He announced and cheers erupted from the crowd. He held an executive title plaque with her name and title beautifully s

27.**Easton's POV**I watched as she stormed out of the place with her manager, Emily, hurrying behind her. I looked back at the stage to see Mr. Stark speaking with Kayla and the man with her with a smile on his face. They acted like nothing serious happened here, and I couldn't help but wonder how people could be so heartless.I took in everything she had said before leaving, and I think I was starting to get the pieces of the puzzle, though not all of them.“That man standing beside Nicole's best friend is Frederick Maroon, son of the owner of Rizz and Dazzle.” Maven told me and I blinked.I knew that company quite well. It was already on the verge of bankruptcy, and I wondered why it hadn't crumbled yet. There were too many things to find out. Why do I sense that all this is a game, with Nicole being in the middle and taking all the blows?“I want you to look into that company. Find everything out about it, leave no detail out. I need to know why it's still standing.” I told Mave

28.**Easton's POV**The next morning, I was already in her room waiting for her to wake up. I needed to tell her how reckless it was going about and getting drunk when she knew fully well that the news reporters would use that against her.“She hasn't woken up yet?” Joan asked as she stepped into the room with the hangover soup I had asked her to prepare.“No.” I answered and she sighed.“I sat here watching her all night. Even in her drunken state, she still couldn't get a peaceful sleep. She kept tossing and turning in bed with a nervous expression on her face. She's going through a lot but is still acting strong.” Joan said as she placed the soup on the bedside table.I hummed and watched her. I have never met a woman like her. The girls I've met would cry and throw tantrums if things didn't go their way, but Nicole was another version and it made me start to take back the things I said about her.She turned and her eyes fluttered open.“She's woken up,” Joan smiled and I quickly

29.**Nicole's POV**I wiped my mouth with a towel, acting like I didn't give a care in the world as he stared at me like he couldn't wait to strangle me.“It's just a sandwich. You can make another. It's nothing to be angry about.” I rolled my eyes and stood up.I was about to walk past him but he drew me back. “If I can always make another one, then you'll be the one to make it. It should be simple for you to do, right?” He frowned.“Of course it is!” I snapped, even though I had no idea how he did it.“Good, now get into that kitchen and make it up to me,” He started walking away. “And make sure it tastes exactly like the ones I made.”“How—”He didn't give me a chance to talk and marched up the stairs. I ruffled my hair and sighed. How on earth am I going to make it exactly like his, when I have no idea how he did it? It tasted like nothing I've had before and was unique. How would I know?I placed my hand on my lip, thinking of what to do.“Hey, what are you thinking about?” Joan
Vicious Comeback Of The Billionaire's Contracted Wife Chap. 30: JUST A CONTRACT HUSBAND
30.**Author's POV**Nicole stared at the message in shock as she wondered what Frederick wanted to meet her for. She also wondered if he had sent the message to her accidentally or if there was something else going on.She contemplated on whether to go see him or not, and she didn't want to text him back. It would look like what he said about her not being able to stay without him was true, and that wasn't the case.Just as she stood there in her train of thoughts, her phone rang. Another round of shock followed when she saw his name on the call screen.She heaved a deep breath and answered the phone after too much deliberation. When she answered, she said nothing.“Nicole,” His manly voice came from the other hand, and she could feel something move in her. She recalled how just hearing this voice before sent tingling sensations down her body.“Frederick.” She replied.“I'd like us to meet, please. Are you busy?” He asked.“No, why do you want to meet? There's absolutely nothing I ca

31.**Author's POV**She couldn't believe what this bastard just spewed out of his mouth.“Repeat what you just said. It seems I didn't hear you well the first time. Maybe, I heard wrong.” She smiled, the smile not quite reaching her eyes. She wanted to confirm whether she heard him wrong or not because it definitely couldn't be her he made that request to.Frederick sighed. “I know it's shocking, considering how we were in the past, and what you feel I did to you—”“What I feel you did to me?” Nicole rolled her eyes. “This isn't something of the past, Frederick Maroon. This is something from a few weeks ago, and you're talking like it's a normal thing, and I'd forgive you that easily to the extent of helping you?” She asked.Frederick ruffled his hair. He knew this was going to be difficult, but he wasn't going to give up. She was the only person that could help him now, since she knew about the company, and even gave him some money to take it up. He wanted her to just put things beh

32.**Author's POV**After Nicole left, Frederick returned to his place. Kayla was already there, waiting for him. “How did it go?” She asked and he sighed.How was he going to tell her that her idea didn't work? How was he going to explain that Nicole had changed and wasn't the lady they used to know? He ruffled his hair, looking up at her. “It didn't go well, Kayla. She didn't budge despite everything I did.” He explained.Kayla smiled inwardly. She wasn't expecting it to work anyway. Her initial plan was to make Frederick's appearance hurt Nicole before she broke the big news. That way, she'd be happy to see the tears in Nicole's eyes when it finally happens.“It's alright, Frederick. You don't need to beat yourself up over it. Nicole isn't even someone we should meet for help. She's below us now, and what we are supposed to be doing is trampling on her. She's just a rug we can wipe our feet on now. Stop making it bother you.”“Kayla, you don't understand what I'm talking about. W

She had come so far with Easton, and she was proud to say he was the best thing that has ever happened to her.As she stood, facing the mirror in her wedding gown that sparkled like diamonds in the soft light, she couldn't help but think about how far they had come. From the first day they met until this day, she had no regrets.It had started with some sort of agreement, but today it was something real; something sacred and something that would usher them into a new phase of their journey in life.Her makeup artist had to retouch her face and begged her not to shed any more tear. Nicole nodded with a smile.“You look stunning. I'm sure Easton's jaw will drop once he sets his eyes on you.” Emily complimented as she walked into the room.“I know, right? I ain't a model for nothing.” Nicole smirked and Emily laughed.“I see your ego is still intact,” she said, causing Nicole to c

179.SEMI-FINAL CHAPTER**Author's POV**The files were collected and handed over to the judge, who looked through them while Easton explained everything. “It turns out that Ariana was pregnant for her boyfriend and when she saw that he wouldn't be able to take care of her, she pinned it on my father because they had a one-night stand before and made him marry her. 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. She thought she had escaped, and now she's trying to claim properties for a son who isn't even my father's. The DNA test has been conducted, and the results are there. She is a deceitful woman and must be punished by the law!”Carson couldn't believe all these. He faced his mother. “So, he is not my

178.**Easton's POV**As we drove back to my house, Nicole held me tight as she rested her head on my shoulders. 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. It's been a while and I wondered how Dad and the rest are doing. Edwin told me everything that happened and how things took a turn for the worst, including Ariana and Carson's atrocities. The good thing is I am back, and I am going to return order to this family.We got down from the car and Nicole intertwined our fingers as we walked in together. “I can't wait to see the lo

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

176.NEXT DAY…**Nicole's POV**My eyes fluttered open to the ray of sunshine that filtered in through the windows and I couldn't help but smile sadly; it was my birthday.“Hurray,” I muttered lazily and sat up on the bed. 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. Every day, I keep seeing things that remind me of him, and it hurts whenever I go out for an evening walk and see couples being all lovey-dovey with each other. 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. Ariana came with Carson tested and threatened to do something drastic if I didn't release the company's documents to her by sunset today. It'd already sunset and I keep having this sick feeling in my stomach that something bad is about to happen.” I explained to him and he sighed.“You don't need to worry.

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. I insist that you take a break to bring your body back together. If you keep stressing it, you'll have a men

She held her head and came down from the bed as she head to the water dispenser in the room.She took a cup and drank from it. “Fuck, why did I drink too much?” She asked herself and sighed.A knock sounded on the door and she muttered a “come in”. 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
