Vicious Comeback Of The Billionaire's Contracted Wife Chap. 79: WANT TO SIGN YOU AS MY MODEL
79.**Nicole's POV**“You want to go on a break? But why?” Emily asked and I sighed.“All these things are overwhelming me, Emily. I need time to reboot, to rethink and re-strategize. I'm not backing down, no, those that hurt me still need to pay what they did, but before I can actually make them pay, I need to be calm.” I explained.“But, that's not the way.” Joan facepalmed.“I believe that's the only way now. I've been acting tough and overreacting, but what has come out of it? What have I gained from it? Nothing but anger, betrayal and being schemed against. I moved when I should have halted, and ran when I should have walked. It's time to do it the easy way.” I explained to them and they sighed.“I understand you, Nicole, but what about your fans? What do you think they're going to say? Aren't they going to forget you?” Emily asked and I smiled.“Right now, fixing what has been broken is what I'm concerned about. My fans were the same people who hated me when the news about the s

80.**Author's POV**Nicole stared at Easton, her eyes widen in shock. “Repeat what you just said because I know I must have heard wrong or it's just a slip of tongue from you.” Easton smiled and shook his head. “It's not a slip of tongue, Nicole. I want you to work for my company. I want you as my model.” He said and she looked at him.She wondered why he just came out of nowhere and wanted to make her his company's model. As far as she knew, models would have to work for it.“But why?” She asked.Easton licked his lips. “You're different,” He answered and she creased her brows. “I know you have the feeling that models work hard before they're accepted into my companies, and that it has to be the best models, but I've seen you, Nicole. I'm seen how hard you work and how consistent you are. You do what you love without caring about what people say. You don't model to show people how good you are, you do it because it is what you love. I love models like that, and I want you to be my

81.**Author's POV**A smile appeared on Nicole's lips at his words. She held his check and placed a soft kiss on his lips.“I love you, Easton. More than you can ever imagine.” Easton held her hand. “I love you most.” He chuckled and stood up. “When do we get started?” Nicole asked, standing up as well.Easton massaged his temple. His one-month break would be over in a week. He couldn't wait for that. Besides, He had rested enough and he felt better. He didn't feel pain like he usually does, and he realized all it took for him to rest, get his health back and fall in love with Nicole was a break. He was happy he took the doctor's advice.“Give me a sec,” He smiled at her and took his phone. He placed a call to the doctor. “Just wanted to ask. Is it a must to stay off work for a week? I doubt that's necessary anymore, since I'm…” He wanted to say he was feeling better, but when he looked at Nicole, he decided against it. He didn't want to bother her with his health issues or make he

82.**Author's POV**Nicole snickered and removed the sun shades she was putting on, a victorious smirk gracing her lips.“Yes, me,” She answered and walked to where they stood. She helped herself to a seat and crossed her legs. “Aren't you two going to sit, or do you want to stand there and keep admiring me?” She asked.Kayla scoffed. “You have nothing I'd admire,” She snapped and sat down. “What are you doing here? Aren't you ashamed to show your face in this company?” She asked and Nicole laughed.“For real? If there's anyone who should be ashamed, it's you, Kayla. I knew you and Demi were responsible for me being kicked out. I was about digging up evidence to expose you, but Demi did it by herself. She made a fool out of you.” Kayla balled her fists. She would give anything to give Nicole a dirty slap right now. The girl was annoying her to the core, and she didn't want to sit here and have it.“Mine is better, unlike you that sleep around with men. You only got kicked out this t

83.**Easton's POV**I walked into the hospital, accompanied by Maven and went straight to Doctor Rosa's office. She was working on her laptop when I walked in.When she looked up and saw me, she stood to her feet with a smile on her face. “Mr. Ferdinand, it's nice to finally have you here.” I nodded and sat down. She sat facing me and took her notebook. “Now tell me, how has staying at home and resting a bit improved your health? What are the symptoms you feel before the break and how are the symptoms now?” she asked and I sighed.“Well, to be honest, the break from work has actually helped me a bit. I used to feel constant chest pain, but I think it's reducing now.” She smiled and wrote it down in her notebook. She took a stethoscope. “Permit me to check your heartbeat,” she requested, and I nodded. She placed the head on my chest and withdrew it after a while.She nodded her head. She did other check-ups on me before finally taking her seat.“Mr. Ferdinand, I'm thrilled to tell yo

84.**Author's POV**Ariana and Carson stood to their feet the minute Easton walked in. Carson's facial expression changed when he saw Nicole with Easton. He wondered where they were coming from, and when he saw Easton smile at her, his fists tightened.Easton walked to where they stood. It was obvious to Nicole that Easton wasn't happy to see his mother and his brother. She had no idea Ariana was Easton's stepmother. She had wondered why he hated them so much, and couldn't find any explanation. As far as she knew, for him to have had so much money right now, it only means that he grew up well, so why? Why was he bitter towards his family? That moment, she realized that she didn't really know much about him, but he already knew a lot about her.Ariana's face switched from a scorn to a smile. She walked to where Nicole stood beside Easton and stopped in front of her.“Is it bad for me to come see my daughter-in-law?” She asked, and Nicole creased her brows.Easton scoffed. “Since when

85.**Author's POV**“Argh! That imbecile! That godforsaken Forsaken son of a bitch!!!” Ariana cursed as she walked into the house. She flung her bag on the couch and pulled her hair in frustration. She hated Easton's guts. She hated him so much! She wished she could just be given the privilege to end his miserable life! She would smile at the opportunity to make him suffer, make him feel pain and make him beg for her to have mercy on him!Carson sighed and just stood there as he watched his mother's rants. In all of her years of being mad, he hadn't seen her this furious before.“How dare Easton? Gosh, I want to hurt him so bad!” She yelled.“Mum, you have to calm down. Being mad isn't going to solve anything. We have to look for a way to bring him down once and for all.” Ariana went to the win stand and brought out a bottle of red wine. She poured it into a class and sipped from it. After sipping, she exhaled, trying to calm herself down. “He deserved us with a marriage contract! H

86.**Frederick's POV**“Nicole…“There's something different about her; something striking that I've been trying to place my fingers on ever since I saw her again but nothing. She looked more beautiful than the last time I saw her, and she exuded an air of confidence that seemed unmatched, but there was something else — it keeps pulling me to her, and I just can't help thinking about her.I ruffled my hair and sucked in a breath. I know I shouldn't be thinking about another woman when I'm already married, but Nicole isn't just an ordinary woman, she's my first love. I feel like the saying “It's pretty hard to get over first loves.” was true.I thought I had gotten over her, but seeing her in Aura Entertainment Building made me realize that I have been fooling myself all this while.I rested my back on the couch and licked my lower lip. Is it too late to want her back? Is she over me yet?I scoffed.No, there's no way Nicole is over me. She loved me so much, even more than she loved h

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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
