Chapter 31

Nicole looked up from her work when there was a knock on her door.“Come in,” she called, not bothering to get up to open the door because she knew it would be one of her colleagues. Damian didn’t have any other meeting scheduled for the day.Elizabeth walked in, and she almost rolled her eyes. Though things seemed to have calmed down around the office regarding the stupid gossip about Andrew, she hadn’t forgotten what she heard in the bathroom stall at the party. They all thought this about her and spoke behind her back, then turned around and gave her bullshit fake smiles to her face. “I’m busy, Miss Walters.”“You have a visitor,” Elizabeth smiled as she opened the door wider.And then in walked the last person she ever wanted to see. Her fingers tightened on her pen as he strolled into her office like he owned the place. The way Elizabeth looked at Andrew and then back at her, she knew the woman had been following the gossip.“Thank you, Miss Walters. And next time, please do yo

Chapter 32

Casey took her away for a spa weekend to unwind. It wasn’t something they were able to do regularly, but their schedules lined up well for a change. Casey had cleared some of her cases to be free for a few days.It was relaxing. Though Andrew and Damian blew up her phone, she ignored them. She spent the weekend being massaged to release all her tension, sweating it out in the sauna, and lounging by the poolside with alcoholic drinks. There was no talk of men, at least not the two men raising her blood pressure. Casey had her eye on someone in her office, so she spent the weekend telling her everything she wanted to do to the poor man.She also started looking at houses on the market. It was high time she let her parents’ house go. She had failed them, and all she could do now was learn to accept it. Andrew would probably burn the house down rather than sell it to her.“If you move in near me, we can hang out more often,” Casey said as they drove towards her apartment on Sunday night.

Chapter 33

Damian felt like a complete dick as he watched Nicole start to shut down. He’d dropped the ball. He’d been too distracted thinking of her ex-husband in her office that he hadn’t given the security guys the full instructions. They’d kicked Raymond out of the building and returned to their posts. Now, the bastard had done this. Raymond Fields completely ignored his threats as if he thought he’d just been fucking with him. He swivelled her chair around and knelt in front of her, taking her face in his hands.“Hey, hey, look at me,” he whispered. “I can fix this. Okay? I’ll fix this.”Nicole’s eyes filled with tears.“Why would anyone want to do this to me?” Nicole said, her voice cracking. “I worked hard for this job. I earned it. And now everything is ruined.”Fuck. “Nothing is ruined,” he said, pulling her chair closer and taking her into his arms. “Don’t cry, Nicole. I have a team dedicated to scrubbing the image off the internet. We’ll sue him. Whatever we need to do. Okay? Pleas

Chapter 34

Nicole felt her phone vibrate again in her bag and ignored it. She had already sent Casey a message that she would call her when she was feeling up to it, so the only other person who would blow up her phone like this was Andrew.He had always been jealous while married, and it worsened after the divorce. The only reason Andrew continued being a dick to her was because she had left him, not because he didn’t want her. He had found many little ways to keep tabs on her over the two and a half years.Even with his future wife at his side. Andrew seeing that picture would have been a blow to his ego.Thinking about it tightened her chest again. Once she had processed this, she would ask Damian who had done it and if he had got all the pictures—if there were more out there. She felt stupid for getting carried away in a public place. It was her fault. And now, her private moment, her dirty secret, was out there for everyone to see and judge.Everyone she worked with knew she had fucked her

Chapter 35

Damian was still seeing red at the disgusting things that had come out of her ex-husband’s mouth. How anyone could have this woman underneath them shouting their name and still feel she was anything less than exquisite was beyond him. He had wanted to say a lot more to that dickless coward, but the tears on Nicole’s face had stopped him.Why did she even answer the fucking phone? Had he been right to assume that man wanted her back, and she was actually entertaining that thought? Was this another man he had to fight for her attention? Fuck.He put the phone on the table and stepped towards her, intent on claiming her once and for all. Nicole didn’t resist when he pulled her into his arms. He’d expected her to slap him away or ask him what the hell he was doing, especially after the day they’d had. He’d practically begged Nicole to resume their arrangement before she went off with her boyfriend for the weekend. But she didn’t slap him.She didn’t push him away. When his lips finally

Chapter 36

Nicole hadn’t needed her clothes the first day or the next, and she hadn’t had time to think of what had happened. Damian was like some sort of sex beast; he hadn’t left her side for a moment, and the four days in New York paled in comparison.Her mind was blown. She’d thought they had great sex before; she’d thought she knew what that was. But Damian showed her how wrong that assumption was. She hadn’t known what she’d been missing.She hadn’t even thought it was possible to bend like that.The man pulled himself out of the pool, and she couldn’t stop watching the water droplets slide down his body. She knew he was watching her, and she could tell by the heat in her cheeks that she was blushing, but for the life of her, she couldn’t look away. He’d turned her into a nymphomaniac. Her life was falling apart, but all she could think of was when he would touch her again.“I think you need to cool off, Miss Avery,” Damian said with a sexy smirk as he picked up a towel from the lounger

Chapter 37

Damian frantically sent messages as he waited for Nicole to join him in the lounge so they could go through to have dinner. Mrs Gilbert, his housekeeper, had suggested treating Nicole to a proper dinner for a change before they went back to the real world tomorrow. He’d been quite looking forward to that before turning on his phone for the first time since he brought Nicole home.Tom had sent him a message with some links he said were urgent, and he wished he hadn’t clicked on them. Everything was a fucking mess.There wasn’t much he could do about it now except have the teams who had been deleting pictures of Nicole start deleting this, too. But it was already too late.“Everything okay?”He looked up and saw the vision in the doorway, and his heart hammered in his chest. It had been doing that too much lately. Was thirty-two too young for a heart attack? Because that was what it felt like every time he looked at her.He put his phone away as she took all his attention. Nicole wore o

Chapter 38

Nicole sat in her office all day, ignoring everyone as she caught up on the work that Damian hadn’t been able to delegate.Or at least she pretended to work. Damian had made a fool of her, and his betrayal cut her deeper than Andrew’s had.Every few minutes, her eyes would find the page open on her phone next to her keyboard. ‘Damian Steele's girlfriend confirms pregnancy.’Her heart squeezed. Even though she had seen them with her own eyes, she had so easily believed Damian when he said it had been over even before their first time on the roof. She had let him break down the walls she had built around herself since she finally dared to leave Andrew, and in turn, he had crushed her newly mended heart. She didn’t know what her next move was supposed to be.Which was pathetic.She should have told Damian where to stick it and handed in her notice. She should have called him out for his despicable behaviour.There were several other articles about Rebecca. If she did the maths right, th

Chapter 39

Nicole told Casey everything that night. Everything except how she felt. She borrowed a spare toothbrush and one of Casey’s oversized T-shirts to sleep in. Then she remembered to put her clothes in the washing machine so she could wear them again in the morning.It occurred to her that if anyone was hanging around to take her picture, they would see her in the same clothes, and then some dickhead on the internet would have something to say about it. But she was past caring about that now. She would never be as glamorous as Rebecca, so what was the point of even pretending?“I’m sorry I told you to go for it,” Casey said as she brought her a cup of tea after dinner. They weren’t drinking alcohol today because Casey had an early start the following day and also because she wanted a clear head to decide on her future.“It’s not your fault, Casey. I should have stopped this the moment it started to get inappropriate, long before the whole thing on the roof happened. I knew about Rebecca

Chapter 40

Damian couldn’t say how long he waited outside the apartment block before he drove away. Nicole didn’t answer her phone and refused to tear herself out of her boyfriend’s arms.His fist clenched around his steering wheel.He should have expected Nicole to run back to her boyfriend. She was an expert at disappearing without hearing him out. But how could she even be with another man after their week together? The double standard was ridiculous. Sure, he’d fucked up, and there was some shit in the paper, but couldn't she just give him the benefit of the doubt? Couldn't she have waited a little bit longer before crushing him like this?Now, both women were not taking his calls. He couldn’t even make things right with Nicole if Rebecca hung over their heads, so he drove to the supermodel’s apartment. The shitbag reporters were hanging around outside hers as well, but he could bet a million pounds that she was enjoying this. That was a big difference between Nicole and Rebecca. Nicole ha
