her life his love

unexpected confession

Nicole

I was finished getting ready when I received a phone call.

"hello Nicole it's me Adrian".

"yes Adrian".

"I was just letting you know the documents are ready but I must inform you that he might not fall for it."

"the better"

"what do you mean"?

"I want him to know that I know I'm going to ruin him and his family if he doesn't sign.

"I understand. how are you doing"

"Adrian I'm fine be sure to get her on time bye"

we already anticipated it in the meeting with my father that took place after.

******

"Nicole can we talk"

"yes Marcus"

the pain in his eyes were not going to let me falter. he caused me pain when he landed a blow on my face.

Beatrice are you going to stay she smiled and said "yes"

she came to hug but I halted her at her step. I don't need affection anymore those days are over.

the sadness in her eyes conveyed heartbreak but I could not let myself falter.

they both sat down and he spoke but not to apologize

"the plan might not work" he said.

haha I knew it he didn't apologize before why would I think he would apologize now.

"I'm fully aware of that, if he doesn't we bankrupt his family"

"yes that's a good plan after all they were only there because your mother asked me to help in their difficult times"

"how are you darling" Beatrice spoke.

"I'm fine"

"darling please it's not normal to bottle up your emotions it will cause you harm later pls don't push us away"

I stopped got up from my chair and walked to my second mother and hugged her.

look I'm fine but you don't have to worry after all my mother left you here to take care of us. and you have done what she asked but in the end u should care for your daughter this time not me.

she looked at me and cried how do you know.

i followed her that day now pls unless you don't want your husband to find out stop crying.

"Marcus got up and yelled why are you crying what did she say to you."

Nicole apologizes to your mother.

"my mother my mother" I yelled

"yes she raised you she is your mother"

firstly she is a second mother to me not my birth mother and secondly enough, just because I didn't argue nor make a fuss doesn't justify you to think you can order me around freely. I chose to listen after my mother died because she lost the will to live because of your indefinitely she could have stuck with treatment but no your happiness came first"

"shut up you don't know what you're talking about slap" he said.

Beatrice got up and slapped him" what is wrong with you slapping her again. she was telling me of the day her mother came to see me to ask me to take care of her children because she was dying.

"what"??

yes but now I'm leaving with Nicole she says she might not need me but even if I promised he mother I came to love her as my own and I won't let her suffer in silence.

"no, what about sam she needs you"

she has you doesn't she after all she ur precious daughter who does no wrong but look at what she has done to ur daughter stupid man"

"no none of you are leaving enough of this they are sisters they would get over it"

over it don't be ridiculous this is the consequences of ur daughters actions now if you would excuse us were gonna go get ready for the dinner

she hurriedly pushed me out of the door I was beyond stunned wth just happened after the slap I was just watching the scenes unfolding.

before I could say another word she said " no don't you dare I am going with you even if I have to live next door to you. now go get ready we have to face that imbecile.

Marcus pov

no no no she didn't die because of that she showed me paperwork saying it was incurable I even spoke to her doctor in charge.

ohh god I slapped her again I'm such an i***t she's my baby yet my anger got the better of me again. my son is not gonna take this with open hands to him Nicole is a precious gem left by her mother to protect. it took time from him to adjust to having another sister. I'm at fault but why does she have to be as stubborn as a mule.

why couldn't she be as gentle as her sister. now what my wife and daughter are leaving and I couldn't even stop them. what's worse Sam will be completely heartbroken.

no I will not let them leave even if I have to threaten them.
