5 Thankful and Regretful

The sun rays penetrating through the large French windows was what actually woke Nicole up, she turned her face away from the sun and reached out for the pair of flip flops and heading to the bathroom to wash up. The entire Yoon family took her in, they have treated her very well these past 8months since she woke up from coma, especially Derek, she then blushed, ' he is so kind, she thought, but why am I thinking about him and blushing? I must be mad!!

There was a knock at the door, " Nicole, are you in? " Am coming!!! she left to open the door and talk about the devil and he appears! " Good morning, how was ur night? "My night was okay and yours? " Very well, you look happy, something good happened? Derek asked while observing her face intently. " nothing happened, Derek, I was just in a better mood today".

"Oh really, well, I have news about your family, I know u don't wanna talk about it, but, it's about your sister... he then paused, contemplating whether to tell her or not, she just stood there not moving away her eyes from him, he suddenly felt like kissing her, those lush lips! he was jolted back by Nicole, " Derek, what exactly are u thinking about?.....you were about saying something",. "Oh.. he turned away from her face nervously, ' You r a pervert, Derek Yoon' " Am sorry, Nicole, I wasn't thinking straight, I wanted to tell u that your half sister, Verona got married to your fiance, William". He then stared at her to see her reactions.....

Nicole didn't say anything, she just recalled what happened 8months ago. Verona told Nicole that her mother wasn't dead, she was living secretly in Nigeria, she was given an address by her sister and she flew to there. When she went to the address, they told her that no one by that name lived there, not knowing what to do, she then contacted and hired a Secret Agent to look for her mum, with the little information she had. After 2weeks, she still didn't find a thing, so she decided to find something doing .

That night, as she left her hotel room, she was kidnapped by some men in black, they wore dark shades and they were very muscular and then she was taken to a house, it's was close to a water body, a beach or a river, she didn't know because she was blindfolded. After a while, she heard shoes clicking, 'a woman?' could it be my mum? Nicole was terrified, but she sat still. The person came and stood in the room, and ordered the men to take off the blindfold and behold, it was my sister! " Vee! Thank God you are here! Save me from this men! Am so terrified! "

" Hahàhahah! Really? You are scared? Awwww... how sad". Nicole didn't understand why her sister was behaving like this, " You r not here to save me?" Verona urge the other man putting on a mask to untie Nicole, after he did, then, she clapped and two men in suits came in with briefcases, they brought a table and kept the briefcases on it and stood aside, Verona took a step forward closer to the table that was stationed under a tiny light and came to face Nicole. " Big sis, am quite amazed by your blindness, you just believed my blindly and took this trip, she scoffed, actually, it's true your mother is alive, that's why, I was thinking you will find her, and then I'll kill the both of u, that will be killing two birds with one stone!!! she continued to laugh. Nicole was flustered, ' so this was a trap? ' oh no..... " but, since u didn't, you will give me a compensation... no no, not a compensation, u will give me what is rightfully mine! " what do u want Verona? Nicole's voice turned cold. " Oh yeah! that's what I want to hear, I want everything! Am thankful and regretful towards you Nicole, am thankful cos u trusted me so much, and I regret that am going to actually kill u to be able to achieve my dreams, do u know what my dream is? To take away everything that is yours!!!
