When they got to the mansion, Nicole surprisingly had this feeling of being at home. She quickly refrained herself from having that kind of feeling because soon, she would be leaving the mansion for good, when Gabriel’s parents are gone. Gabriel went to the kitchen as soon as they got inside, probably to keep to his promise. Nicole decided to head to her bedroom. She had missed that place a lot because it was now her safe haven.She opened the door to the bedroom and noticed it was spotlessly clean. She looked through her closet and found out that her things were just how she had left them. Just then she heard a knock. “Come in.” she said walking out of the closet. Gabriel appeared in the room. “I wanted to let you know that I’ve ordered the chefs to make your donuts.” “Thank.” She quietly replied.

   It was time for dinner. They all went to the dinning room.Grilled chicken, seasoned veggies, chicken Caesar salad and chocolate filled banana cake were what they were having for dinner. Nicole couldn’t help but feel hungry as she saw the different meals on the table. They all sat down and ate their meal in silence. “So.. when are you two getting married, so you can start making babies?” Helen suddenly asked, making Nicole choke on her salad. “I know that reaction.” She continued. “Weren’t you two planning on getting married?” she asked, staring from Gabriel to Nicole. Nicole gulped down a glass of water. “Mom, we haven’t talked about that, yet.” Gabriel replied. “You two are never going to talk about it if it’s l

   A week had passed since that awkward incident in the bathroom, Nicole has gone back to being her bubbly self once again and Gabriel has gotten used to sharing his room with Nicole. Helen on the other hand has been busy making preparations for the wedding. She managed to get Gabriel to skip work for some days so he and Nicole could choose the decorations they would like for their wedding, the kinds of food and also the flavor of cake they’d prefer. She was really excited about her son’s wedding, she never thought the day would come when she would see Gabriel getting married, she was glad he took her advice and finally moved on.  Helen took Nicole bridal shopping, to get the bridal gown and make any necessary adjustments early before the day and also to get a dress for their engagement party. They were in the boutique when Nicole got a call from Gabriel, he told her they would

   It was time for the engagement party, Nicole was already dressed but didn’t want to go downstairs to welcome the guests because she was nervous. How was she going to face a bunch of elite people with a smile on her face when all of this was fake? That wasn’t even close to the reason why she was nervous, she was nervous because she had no idea how she was going to be received by Gabriel’s guests or what their comments would be about her when they get to meet her. She was certain they would want to know what her background was like and she is nothing close to rich. She didn’t want to embarrass Gabriel in any way whatsoever. This contract was a bad idea, she should never have accepted such an offer, but what was she to do? She needed the money and doing this was better than robbing a bank or selling her body. Nicole was still deep in thoughts when Helen walke

   Nicole, Gabriel and his parents were in the dinning room having breakfast on a Monday morning. “You two couldn’t keep your hands to yourself Saturday night.” Helen teased, causing Gabriel and Nicole to stare at her in surprise. “Oh, don’t give me that look. I noticed you guys weren’t coming downstairs to see your guests off, so I came to your bedroom and saw you both sound asleep in each other’s arms.” she explained, making Nicole blush in embarrassment. “Honey. Can you just let them be?” Jacob said to his wife. “What did I do?” Helen asked in confusion. “I mean, I like the fact that she can make my son go to bed early, unlike you.” Jacob rolled his eyes at his wife’s statement and continued eating. Nicole couldn’t help but
