Nicole arrived home like a thief, whose eyes were all over the place searching if anyone was watching her. From the switched-off lights, she could tell that everyone was asleep.She tiptoed inside, hoping to get a quick bath and get the stench of the mayor off of her body.She was about to get on the stairs when the lights turned on. Greg was standing on top of the stairs with a bottle of alcohol in his hands.He looked at his watch, then at her."I already informed you that I was running an errand," she replied, trying to get past him.Greg barricaded her and ordered her not to move."Get out of my way!" She yelled at him.Greg grabbed her by the arm and said, "You do not give me the respect that I deserve in this family!" He yelled.Nicole glared at him, irritated. She was tempted to slap him but contained herself."I will say this for the last time, get out of my way!" She warned him.Greg grabbed her by the collar and dared her to do her worst."Greg, let go of me!" She yelled at

Like a thief caught red-handed, Nicole began looking for an exit. She couldn't believe she had fallen into the trap for the second time in a row. She turned, searching for Greg, but noticed him talking to two elderly men. For someone who had complained the entire trip to the stupid fundraiser, he looked to be enjoying himself and cracking the loudest jokes.She turned to her right and also noticed Agness busy cracking jokes. She was the one with the keys to the car but getting the keys seemed impossible.She had no option but to think fast; getting a cab seemed to be the only option. Excuses were always available in her head, and all she had to do was text them after the cab arrived.She quickly called for the cab and decided to walk outside and wait for it, but before she could turn, Nera and Marcus approached her."Hello Nicole," Nera waved."Hi," Nicole waved in a shaky tone."I do not think I have ever introduced my husband, the man with the old balls that you seem to be always m

The days that followed were hell for Nicole, with a lawsuit from Marcus and divorce papers from Greg, who refused to meet up with her and was denying her any time with her son.She admitted she was not a good mother but he had no right to deny her visitation to her child. From being married into one of the most prominent families in Texas, she was reduced to renting a cheap room at a motel and eating out of a box.She had nothing and not a penny to her name. She had lived a life of luxury thanks to the checks that her mother-in-law was always getting from her son, and the two would shop until they were dry with nothing to save.She never thought a day would come when she would be thrown on the streets. She had always been careful about sleeping around and no one had a clue. But thanks to stupid Nera and her husband, she lost everything.To make matters worse, she would spend all the money she was getting from the mayor on useless things. If that was not enough, the stupid mayor was y

A week passed, and Nicole was officially charged with attempted murder. The charge came as a relief to her, knowing she had not killed Greg. Her lawyer, on a pro bono basis, assured her he was doing fine and recovering.That was all that mattered at the moment, as she was slowly trying to accept her fate.The guard walked into her cell and informed her she had a visitor. She looked up at her in confusion. She could not think of anyone who would visit her.She was led to the visiting room, where Agness walked in.She looked away disappointed, knowing the woman was there to grout."The chains and orange suit you," Agness stated in a serious tone."What do you want?""I just came to inform you that I made a deal with Marcus Rashwell to testify against you for the fake rumors," she announced.Nicole kept staring at her."Not only will you get years for trying to kill my son, but I'll make sure you get more years for the fake news," Agness explained with a smile.Nicole closed her eyes, tr

Nera moved to where Marcus was applying lotion on the baby and picked up the lotion bottle. She looked up at her husband, whose skin was starting to pale up."Oooh, my God, Marcus, are you okay?" Nera asked worriedly.She quickly took the baby away and placed him on his bed while Marcus took a seat on the bed."Did you break something? Oh, is it your blood pressure?" Nera began panicking.Marcus quickly held her hands, "Calm down, I am fine. I think I just pulled a muscle," he lied.Nera paused and hit his back. "I warned you to stop carrying Sam on your back!" She stated and walked to finish dressing Sam."Ouch! Did you have to hit me?" Marcus asked."Because you do not listen, I have been warning you, but you never listen to me," she said, rolling her eyes at him.She finished with the toddler and took him to the playroom, where he was eager to play with his toys.She walked back to the room and sat next to her husband. "How is the back?" She asked"Fine, I will take some rest," he
