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

33.**Easton's POV**I waited impatiently for Nicole to return from wherever she went, but there was no sign of her. I was becoming more impatient by the minute and soon became worried.This made me start to reconsider my decision of leaving her alone. I massaged my temple, wondering whether she had sneaked into her room without me seeing her.I stood up and headed for her room to find Joan putting it in order. She bowed the minute she saw me.“Good afternoon, sir.” “Is Nicole back yet?” I asked her, but she shook her head.“She isn't back yet. I tried calling her, but she's not taking my calls.” Joan answered and I sighed.“Next time she steps out of the house, go with her. That's why you're her personal assistant.” I ordered and she nodded with a slight bow.I walked out of the room and brought my phone out, dialing her number immediately, but couldn't get through to her. I tried several times, still no answer.I was about to drop the phone in my pocket when I looked up and saw her

34.**Easton's POV**We entered her room and met Steve trying to get her to eat something.“Whatever is going on with you can be solved if you just tell us, but first, you have to eat. Joan said you haven't eaten anything since morning, and it's getting us worried about you.” He compelled her, but she was stubborn.I walked to where they sat, and stood, watching her a bit. She looked expressionless that it was difficult to guess what was going on in her mind right now. Her eyes were fixed in one direction, not moving, and I realized it was the same direction as it was the time I stood by the door watching her.“Steve, Joan,” I called, and they looked at me.Steve sighed in relief. “Thank God you're here, Easton. Please make her eat something. She's been like this for an hour now.” He looked worried.“Leave us,” I said.They bowed and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind them. My eyes went to the tray of food on the bedside table, and I walked to sit on a chair, facing her.

35.**Nicole's POV**After I was done eating, I stepped out of the room and left for Easton's room. I heaved a deep breath as I stood in front of his door. I wanted to thank him for the words he said to me, it actually made me feel better and realize what I should do instead of crying. I was about to place a knock on the door when I heard the doorbell.I alighted the stairs and saw butler Steve heading to the door. He opened it and two good-looking guys came in.I recognized one of them. I think Maven is his name. He was the one who came with Easton to my house for me to sign the contract. The second one… I haven't seen him before.“Easton!!!” The second guy called, and I guessed they must be close for him to have yelled Easton's name like that.“Shh, his wife is here.” Maven told the second guy, and his eyes went in my direction immediately.His smile widened immediately he saw me, and I couldn't help but gap at his dimples. As he approached me, I took in his features and couldn't he

36.**Author's POV**There was an awkward silence as everyone stared at Easton, not believing what he had just said. Nicole was the most shocked. She placed her hand on her chest, as she never imagined he would say something like this. She felt moved.Easton mentally facepalmed.“I didn't mean what I said. It just came out.” He tried to explain, but Edwin wasn't ready to have any of it. He intentionally annoyed Easton but wasn't expecting the dude to just blurt that out.He burst into laughter, pointing at Easton. “So, you do have the intention of marrying her for real?” He couldn't contain his laughter."No, I don't want to!“ Easton snapped, and Edwin stopped.“Are you being serious right now? I mean, dude, you just said it with your mouth. And thank goodness, I wasn't the only one that heard it.” Edwin sneered.“It was a slip of tongue,” He defended himself. He just got annoyed that Edwin kept flirting with Nicole, and she played along. She was his wife, and shouldn't be like that w

After getting accepted by them, she was asked to come for a talk with the manager today and boy was she nervous.Nervous because she didn't want what happened with Mr. Luther to repeat itself here. She didn't believe in giving her body out to them for them to promote or give her a job — she loved being fair and that's what contributed to her success, before Mr. Stark destroyed it, of course.When she entered, the employees murmured on seeing her. She told them nothing and left for the Manager's office immediately.“Are you nervous?” Emily asked as they took the elevator.“Yeah, but for a different reason.” She pulled a strand of hair behind her ears and sighed.Emily nodded. “I get you, but trust me, Mr. Leo is a nice man. He won't demand something like that from you.” Nicole forced a smile. “I hope so.”When they got to the office, the re

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.

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.

I heaved a deep breath and stared at my computer. I missed Easton so much.

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? You've been acting like a father and I've been more like a troublesome baby.” She placed the food in her mouth
