Giamini

Drego killed his wife when he found out she betrayed him and had caused the accident that killed his parents. He shot her in his mansion, and ever since, no one was allowed into his home. He lived with the guilt for years until Nichole came into his life. She worked for him for four years but he doesn’t even see her. Nichole pined for him for four years and after she changed herself and he still didn’t notice her, she goes off on him and tells him she loves him and quits. 

When Drego told his friends what happened, everyone tells him that they all knew she liked him. He was the only oblivious one. They tell him to get her back, cause she’s a competent employee and she’s been going out of her way to help him. Drego soon begins to see Nichole in a different light after a series of events. And when she gets shot by his dead wife’s brothers while they were trying to harm him, he takes Nichole to his haunted house to care for her. Unfortunately, things end badly and Nichole leaves the house after a week.

Drego soon realizes he can’t live without her, but Nichole has given up. He may not be able to get her back. 

The Billionaire’s haunted house

It had been a week since I asked Nichole to move in with me. 


I can't say I wasn't disappointed when she hesitated. And when she finally spoke and she'd said she'd think about it, I almost tried to convince her otherwise. 


But I understood why she was hesitant. I had pushed her away over and over again. Nichole had been patient with me. Now it was my turn to wait for her. It didn't matter how long it took, I was determined to wait. 


But after one week, waiting was beginning to feel like I had little air left before I finally drowned under water. Even now, focusing on this meeting was hard. 


As if on cue, Nichole's name popped up on my screen. Her message only one word. 


I was. Terry from the production team was sharing the added feature to the new smart watch we were to launch next month. 


'No. Got good news for me?' I responded instantly. My attention was already divided. And I could always ask for a recap later. When my mind was in a better space.
