The wolf in the woods chapter 9: living in the present, thinking of the past
When she finally managed to regain consciousness the next day, her memories had fully been regained. The first thing that occurred to her was the fact that everything hurt. Everything throbbed in pain. She tried to move but it all felt wrong. When she attempted to turn over, a wave of nausea overtook her and she felt something wet dripping down her chin. That's when her eyes snapped open, staring at nothing. Her head felt like someone had jammed cotton balls inside it, and she could barely move. Where am I? As if summoned by her thoughts, there was a soft, familiar voice speaking. She strained her ears, trying to catch what was being said. “Hey, Nicole. How are you feeling?” Who… She tried to speak, but found that her mouth felt incredibly dry. The sound only came out as a croak. Her throat was burning. As she opened her mouth again, however, another unfamiliar voice spoke up. “Don't strain yourself just yet, Nicole." Henry said to her, "you blacked out since yesterday, I've ne
The wolf in the woods chapter 10: seeking answers
After a long time, Nicole was finally ready to go back to her previous life to search for the answers she needed. Henry was quite supportive, they both had already planned the journey but Henry could not possibly leave his family just like that only to follow Nicole in her endeavours.He didn't open up to Nicole about him being part of it, he just supported everything she did and helped her make plans. When the day came around for them to set off on their travels, Nicole felt uneasy and she didn't know why. She felt scared as well but she wanted to do this. She needed to do it, even if she would never admit it out loud. She knew that it wasn’t going to be easy, that her mind may try to convince her otherwise.She was even more agitated once Henry explained to her why he could not actually join in her journey, she was sad and a bit angry since he was just telling her after all these while."why did you make me think you would come?" She said looking down at the ground, tears begin
The wolf in the woods chapter 11: Arriving at Denver
Henry had already made all the reservations needed for Nicole's travel, including airport tickets and any other financial support she needed. His parents were wealthy and all of that was not a problem for him to accomplish, they just had to leave for the airport as early as possible. Obviously they needed to sneak into his family's estate and use one of the vehicles just like they did a few days ago. This time Henry wanted to be the one taking care of everything, he wanted Nicole's journey to be as smooth as possible, that was the least he could do since he was not coming along.Just before the break of dawn, it was about 5 O'clock in the morning and they had already started going to the airport.It was just a few minutes drive from their current location, and they had only left that early to avoid any eyes from seeing them. Henry had successfully hidden Nicole from the other members of his family for many weeks, and not even one person suspected any thing."phew!" Henry exclaimed, "
The wolf in the woods chapter 12: will of my father
Once Nicole got off the flight at the airport, reality began to set in. She immediately realized that she had no idea where she was going, although she knew the name of her father's lawyer but Nicole did not have the slightest idea where he lived. Her father, while he was a man of many words, never really gave any details on the family's home. Already stressed from the flight, she went ahead to lodge in a hotel. This few weeks had disconnected Nicole almost completely from the world, she slid the new phone that Henry for her a few days ago before she returned to Colorado.Even if she had used one of those before, it seemed quite strange to her at first but with every passing moment she began understanding. Once she switched on the device, she called the number Henry had saved into her phone, that was the only means to get across to him.~~~It was unlike Peter, he had not stepped out of the house since morning. He'd normally spend most of his time in the cabin for a reason best
The wolf in the woods chapter 13: the deserted apartment
Once it was morning the first thing Henry did was to get a call across to Nicole, he could not wait to let her know about the recent development. It was just about 6 O’clock in the morning when Henry called, she was still fast asleep but she was awoken by the sudden sound that came from her phone when he called. “hey, Good morning,” Henry uttered once she picked up the call, “I am sorry for calling this early but I think I’ve got really good news for the both of us,” he said to Nicole. “Its fine dear, I was already about to wake up,” she replied, Nicole did not want Henry to feel like he was disturbing her, “so what is this news about?” she asked curiously. “so… I am going to be getting a college in Colorado, that way we would be able to meet again this time, we could spend as much time as we want,” he pointed out to Nicole, she could literally feel his joy over the phone as he chuckled slightly after he talked. “That is amazing,” Nicole uttered, she was truly
The wolf in the woods chapter 14: Jeremy
Nicole did not count the cash, she panicked and her first reflex was to just pack everything and rush out of the place. It was obvious that he was hiding something from someone, and that was why she had returned to uncover the mystery behind who wanted her family dead. Once she got back to the hotel, she decided to call Henry but when she reached out for her phone in her purse it was no where to be found.“Where did I keep it?” she pondered to herself. She could remember using it back at the apartment as a make shift flash light, “Oh no! Maybe I must have forgotten it back there,” she said to herself, she would have to return the next day to find her phone because that was the only way she could get across to Henry.Nicole not knowing what next to do, pulled out her dad’s personal diary from the bag. She was a bit reluctant to read the diary since she knew that it would probably show her hidden parts of her dad that she never knew, that might get to her emotionally but it was som
The wolf in the woods chapter 15: Mrs Baxton
Henry was finally calm he woke up to a text message from Nicole explaining every thing that had transpired the previous day. In the text she also told him about the fortune she had found back at the apartment, it was definitely a good development.Back at Colorado Nicole was desperately trying her best to find out what firm Jeremy worked for, she kept going through her dad’s personal diary until she came across a name. ‘The Black Dot law firm’, it was actually a very big law cooperation in Colorado but what surprised Nicole the most was the fact that the firm only gave out personal lawyers to individuals that own businesses which are worth about a hundred million dollars and above.Nicole could not remember living the life of the daughter of a millionaire, it always seemed like they were an average family. She was not going to call the firm directly, she had no idea who could have been involved in her parents issues.“Hello Henry,”“Hey Nicole, I was worried about you until I saw

She had come to find out who the so called person was and what they wanted.Sophia not wanting anyone at all to know what her and the young girl talked about, asked everyone to leave the room. The woman was soft spoken, she was obviously an introvert or perhaps just another rich proud woman that didn’t feel the need to speak.“who are you?” Sophia Baxton asked Nicole, she wore a dark shade that his her eyes. She had a very long blonde hair, and she wore a leather jacket that screamed wealth.“I am Nicole…, Nicole Price,” she replied to Sophia, “I suppose you are Mrs. Baxton?” she asked.Sophia gave no answer, she was silent for a while before she uttered,“who do you work for?” her tone sounding tougher than b
