Nicole is a 19 year girl lost in her pain. Thinking she was obligated to the position she was in after everyone told her to walk away. What happens when she meets Reece Gordon? To her a wealthy Scottish businessman at least she thought. What secrets...
"Hey Nicki, you mind talking to me?" Heaven said, walking into Nicole's bedroom with her twin. Her head quickly turned to the door to the two smiling females.

"Reece didn't have to make yall come all the way to Scotland for me," Nicki said, turning back to the wall. She heard Neveah sighed, before taking the seat on the bed next to her as Heaven sat on the other side of her. Both hugged her and laid their heads on her shoulders.
"He didn't have to ask. Plus, we were in the UK looking for you. We both figured you would need someone to talk to. So here were are."
Nicki smiled as she reached up to wipe her tears. She was so happy to be home and surrounded by people that loved her. Even when, she was separating herself from them. Nicole just needed time to make herself realize this was real and not one of her dreams that she would wake up from with Jabari creepy-ass standing over her naked.
"I know this was my fault. I ran because I was mad... I was scared that Reece lied to me about Winter. I was madder about the fact she showed her face here just to rub in the fact she slept with Reece before me and could have his baby. I'm dumb, I know."
"Nicki, none of that makes you dumb, and it wasn't your fault this shit happened. Nathan wanted to get under Reece's skin using you to try to make him turn over his mafia...."
"He was forcing me to try and have a baby with his brother... He killed Reece's baby.... H-he force m-me to abort his baby," Nicole cried as both twins hugged her again. It was something that she couldn't stop thinking about and didn't know how to tell Reece.
"Oh... Look, you and Reece can make another baby. Just give herself time to heal. Talk to him. This is something that you shouldn't keep to yourself." Neveah finally spoke. "I want to talk about these," She said, pointing at Nicole's bruises.
"They beat me all the fucking time. If I looked at one of them the wrong way, they beat me. The rule was for me to keep my hands to myself and my eyes to the floor as if I was a little child. Did I listen? No. I fought back. I promise myself I would never let another man do me the way my father and Quan did me. I would never lay there and be abused again." Nicole said as they both gave her a smile.
"Did... did Jabari rape you?"
"No... he gave me a choice to lay with him, or he would take it and told me to sleep on it a few nights. The first day there, I know we beat each other asses, and I woke naked in the bed. Nathan told me he stopped Jabari from touching me. I later found out it was him. He would often come to me for sex...."
"He was..."
"GOD NO! I turn him down so he would fuck one of the maids. He and Tabitha wasn't the ideal couple. They were making people believe they were. When Jabari wasn't trying to get me pregnant with his six minutes fucks twice of week. He was fucking her." Nicole said, making the twins gasps.
"Damn, I would have never thought of that... You know Reece still loves you and doesn't hate you for what happened. Nicole's communication is the key. Don't let shit like that come between you and your King again. If this ever happens again, take the time to cool off. Then talk. There will be many women who come and claim to have slept with your Don or have a child with him. Whether it's true or not, you have to be strong. Talk to Riley and our mother. Trust me. You wouldn't believe how many women have claim my father to be their child father or how many Adele Köhler's ass has killed." Heaven laughed as Nicole nodded.

Later that day, Nicole finally made her way out of the room into the gym when she thought no one else was in there. She didn't want to be bothered by her friends with their question of what she was thinking. Nicki knew they wouldn't be as understanding as the twins did. Their talk was good, and it helped her clear the air with herself, but Nicki still knew she was the one in the wrong.
"Want some company?" Lance asked as she slowly turned back, looking at the smiling man. Nicole laughed, nodding her head.
"Did you follow me down here?"
"Maybe I did, and maybe I didn't... Nicole, you know none of us blames you for shit, nor are we mad. Shit, I'm just happy your ass is back here fucking safe, and we didn't have to bury my cousin's queen or son. I never saw Reece like he was when you were missing. He acted as if... let me rephrase, that his whole world had ended. The man was drinking away sixty-something-year-old liquor shit that cost fucking millions of dollars. Hell, we were getting shot at and knives thrown at our heads each time we told him we had nothing. It got so fucking bad Seanmhair had to call Uncle Luca to come to straighten his ass up. That's one thing none of us want is Luca Köhler's big ass over here putting his foot down...."
"Yeah, but Reece is just as big as him. Maybe bigger," Nicole laughed.
"That is all true, but you will never be hit by Luca. Talk to him. That is all I am saying," He said, about to walk away.
"WAIT! Why haven't you and Raine married yet?"
"Because my Don and Donna haven't married yet. That's wasn't going to happen until you were home safe in his arms." Lance said, nodding to Reece standing by the door. Lance quickly hugged Nicole and walked away as he walked up.
"May I?" Reece asked as he held out his arms. Nicole moved into them, wrapping her own arms around his torso, hugging him tight, crying.
"I'm sorry.... I'm so, so, fucking sorry, Reece." She cried.
"Baby, there isn't nothing for you to be sorry about...."
"He made me abort our baby," Nicole said as she felt Reece stiffen. His heart started beating a little fast, but his touch as he rubbed her back was gentle.
"We can make another baby Nicole.... I think you should also know that Jade tried to make a move on me while you were gone. I don't if it was the fact, she thought I needed someone, or she wanted to take your place. I let her live, but it's your call to continue to let her live." Reece said, kissing her forehead.
"I was told that I was going to be punish... Are you going to punish me for what I did? If so I understand."
"Nicole, I think what you when through in that hellhole was your punishment. And the others agree. Just... just talk to me."
"Not now, Reece, but I will soon, I promise," Nicole said as he nodded his head, kissing the top of hers.
