**NICOLE'S POV**

“Why did I do that? Gosh!” I screamed at myself as I paced around the room. I had woken up that morning and the first thing that came to my mind was what I did last night. Gosh, why did I peck him? Why did I do it?

I covered my face with my palms as I paced around the room. I have freshened up, and worn my clothes but couldn't step outside my room because I was embarrassed. Why the heck did I do that? I still couldn't comprehend what got into me.

I sighed and ruffled my hair.

“You aren't out of the room yet? I made breakfast, you should come out and eat some.” Joan walked to where I stood and held me.

I shook my head frantically. “I can't face him, Joan.”

“Why?” She asked and I sighed.

How on earth was I going to tell her that my emotions got the best of me and I pecked Easton. Goodness knows what he's thinking of me right now.

“Just bring my food in here. I'll eat it here.” I requested. I didn't care if I had to avoid him for the whole day or even for the rest of

He stood by the water dispenser and turned the minute she stormed into the room. What was wrong with her this time? He dropped the glass of water and walked to where she stood.“What is it? Why are you looking like a bull that's ready to charge at its prey?” He asked and she frowned at him.“I'll charge at you if you don't tell me the truth.” She answered.Easton was confused. He had no idea what she was talking about. “Truth about what?” He asked.“Why did you do it?” She asked and he arched his brows.“Why did I do what?” He shrugged.“You were the one who

Won't you go through them first? I'll give you all the time you need.” He offered but Mr. Ferdinand shook his head.“I have already gone through them. The person left to go through them is you, Easton. You can do that and get back to me.” He answered and Easton sighed.He stood up and bowed a bit before walking out of the office. He rested his head on the car wheel the moment he entered the car. This was what he always wanted, but why did he feel like it isn't what he wants anymore? Why was he feeling sad about getting something he had been fighting for?He turned the car on and drove home. Butler Steve rushed to meet him the minute he entered.“How did it go?” He asked.“He gave me the documents and is ready to transfer it to my name.” He answered and sat down on th

She didn't want Frederick to suspect her.She flagged down a taxi that took her to his place and rang the door bell.The door opened and he ushered her in.“Mr. Stark, you're beginning to overdo things, you know. You keep calling me here every night to be with you, and you're aware I have a husband waiting for me at home.” She rolled her eyes.“I'm sorry if you feel like I'm being a disturbance or nuisance but your body is the best and I just can't trade it for another. Now, strip and show me what you're made of baby girl.” He approached her.“Let's just get this over with.”“You act like you don't like what I'm doing to you, but you love it so much. I can

He didn't look happy and she was sure he wouldn't be ready for meaningless excuses.“I decided to work late today, so I'd be able to spend some time with you tomorrow. And about my phone ringing, I'm really sorry about that. I had no idea.” She walked up to him and wrapped her hands around his neck.He sighed and ran his hands through his hair. “I know you love your job, but you have to at least create some time to spend with me.” He complained.“I'm sorry if you feel neglected.” She tapped his nose.“How are you going to make it up to me?” He wrapped his hand around her waist but she removed his hand.“I'm pretty turned right now and not in the mood.” She said and walked away.Frederick sighed and took a seat on the couch. He wondered if he had made a mistake in marrying Kayla. Nicole never acted this way towards him. Even though she didn't sleep with him, she always made sure she created time out of he

Easton's features were softened by sleep, and Nicole found herself staring at him. She traced the lines of his face with her eyes, taking in every detail.

I'd rather die at birth than to have you as a mother, so don't ever say that again!” He snapped at her.“You're being unreasonable. Carson is your father's son!”“And I asked you to prove it with a DNA test result. If the result is positive, I'll accept that I've been wrong all these years and give him a chance, but if it's negative, it's over for the two of you. So, prove it to me right now.” He folded his arms, smirking at them.Ariana couldn't believe he'd dare to challenge her like this. What on earth was he thinking? She scoffed and held his gaze. “If you think pulling a stunt like this will make us stop fighting for what truly belongs to us, you're wrong. It's a DNA test result you want, right? You'll get one.” She turned to leave.“Of course I will, and in order to prevent it from being manipulated, I will be in the hosp

He had already planned to accompany her to Beverly Hills.“You cunning man!” She snapped at him, causing him to chuckle.“What? Why are you talking like you don't want me to be here?”“It's because I don't want you to be here. Get off the plane and go.” She pursed her lips.He lifted her jaw, causing her to look into his eyes. “Do you mean what you just said?” He asked, and she swallowed the lump that formed in her throat.She cleared her throat and used her eyes to scan the room, wondering if there was anyone that'll come to her rescue.“I…” She trailed off when she didn't see anyone.

At least, I got the chance to spend some time with Easton. Easton and I separated after the plane landed, and he promised he'd be in touch.After the baggage claim, we gathered in front of the airport, waiting for our ride.“Pfft! I have no idea why companies like to show off. If it was this close, why take a plane and make me watch this bitch get pulled to the VIP section?” She scoffed.I knew she was referring to me, but I ignored her and stood with my hands folded.“Were you able to find who booked the VIP section for you?” Mr. Leo asked.“I have no idea who, but whoever that person is, I'm grateful. The VIP section has its perks and I felt sad that it ended too quickly. I enjoyed myself.” I smiled, intentionally annoying Kayla, who huffed and looked away.“You're so lucky, Nicole.

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.

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?
