Chapter 63 Nicole

• Why do challenges seem never-ending? Just when I think I've overcome one obstacle, another one arises. It feels like I'm stuck in a cycle of adversity. Is it possible for me to catch a break and experience some peace and happiness in my life? I'm tired of constantly facing new difficulties and longing for a sense of stability and joy. I articulated as I stared at my reflection in the mirror.
• Sighing, I walked back to my bed, prepared to get my night rest. At the moment,I had no time to wallow in self-pity. Taking necessary actions are the only thing required of me to do. I grabbed my phone and began to dial Nicholas' number. My fingers moved with a sense of urgency, because my fate depended on this call.
• I hesitated for a brief moment, my thumb hovering over the "call" button, before finally pressing it.
