The next day came swiftly; Nichole woke up around five and ordered the rest of the house to get up. Today was her rehearsal dinner party and she wanted the whole day to gloat about it. She was going to force Brady to stay with her all day long. That way she could make sure to keep Chloe off his mind.

Breakfast was served by six. Nichole sat in the dining room waiting for Brady but he hadn't shown up. She waited patiently for ten minutes before ordering Henderson to fetch him out of bed. When Henderson came back down, he told Nichole that he wasn't in his room. Nichole then became mad so she ordered Henderson to find him immediately. When Henderson came back, it became apparent to Nichole that Brady was not on the grounds. He had lied to her; he wasn't planning on spending the whole day with her. Nichole decided to make Brady pay big time for his betrayal. She picked up the phone and made a call to the opera house that Chloe was working at.





Chloe could barely sleep; what she had witnessed on the tape was so horrible. No wonder Victor wanted her out of his life. Nichole was sitting on top now but soon Chloe would pull that rug from under her smug ass. The only throne Nichole would be sitting on would be the one on death row. Tonight Nichole was going down and Chloe was going to be the one to do it to her.





There was no way he was going to spend all day with that evil bitch Nichole. He could barely stand her let alone have to look at her all day long. She smelt as bad as Sami did, that's probably because like Sami she never showered ( another Scami and Nicky the hoe bash for ya Kayla!). Brady had gotten up around three and made sure to high tail it out of there before Nichole got up. He wasn't planning on showing up until later tonight. He wanted Nichole to squirm for awhile. After all, that's what she was doing to him. Brady decided to pay his sister a visit before deciding to leave Salem for the day.

Belle was sleeping peaceful upstairs when she heard the loud knocking on her door. After watching the tape and going through the file, she came up with an elaborate plan to get Nichole and keep Shawn at the same time. Soon Jan and Nichole wouldn't know what hit them. This was way too perfect to be true but it was and soon Nichole would be wishing that she had never set foot in Salem. When Belle answered the door she saw her brother waiting patiently outside for her to let him in. She gave him an unbelievable look and then ushered him inside.

"So what do you want?" She asked him.

"Belle, I wanted to talk to you about last night." Brady said to her.

"Listen, it's six thirty in the morning and I'm tired. Shouldn't you be getting ready for your big night?" Belle asked him.

"No Belle, we need to talk." Brady said.

"Listen, Brady I know you're my brother and all but I'm not going tonight. In fact, mom and dad aren't going tonight. None of us support your marriage to this slut; don't expect any of us to show up to your wedding either. Just think about this Brady, if you marry her you'll loose your whole entire family. Who's more important to you your family or your slut?" Belle asked him.

"Belle you don't understand…"

"I understand Brady. You really don't love your family or you wouldn't be doing this." Belle said.

"Belle, I'm doing this because I love my family." Brady accidentally said.

"What do you mean you're doing this because you love your family? Brady what does she have on us? She's black mailing you; isn't she?" Belle asked him.

"Belle listen to me; it's not like that. You don't understand." Brady said.

"That bitch; I knew you didn't love her. I knew that you would never marry her unless you were forced to. Okay Brady, tell me what she has on us that's making you marry her." Belle demanded.

"Belle…"

"Brady how bad is it? Is it about me or Sami?" Belle said.

Belle looked into her brothers eyes and knew that it had to do with Sami. Why hadn't she guessed earlier? Of course it was about Sami, it always about Sami and her evil twisted ways. Belle felt her heart race faster as she began to get madder by the second. Sami never learned she always had to make people suffer because of her greed. She made her poor sister suffer (hey Kayla are furious yet!) because she couldn't keep her hands off of Austin; she always had to have a man in her life because she could never learn to deal on her own. She always had to drag people down for her mistakes. She was nothing but a man stealing-three- year -old –whore!

"What does she have on my dear older step sister, Brady?" Belle asked him.

" Belle I don't want to add anymore stress on you. I know you've been having a hard time dealing with dad and his affair with…"

"What affair; has dad been cheating on mom?" Belle asked.

"You know Belle it's late and I told myself that I would be…"

"Answer me right now Brady! Has dad been cheating on mom?" Belle cried out.

"I'm afraid so Belle. Listen, I didn't want to tell you because…"

"So dad's cheating on mom and Sami's hiding something hurtful from all of us." Belle cried.

Brady leaned down to hug his sister, who was now crying uncontrollably, but she pushed him away. She whipped away her tears and pulled her hair back from her face. She asked Brady to leave but he wouldn't. She began to ask him again when she heard someone pound on her door again.

Brady ran into her hall closet and hid while Belle answered the door. Nichole was standing there waiting furiously for her to open up. Belle shook her head and was about to close the door when Nichole grabbed it and pulled it all the way open. She then let herself in and began to look around.

"Okay this isn't the whore house so get out." Belle said.

"Where is he?" Nichole asked her.

"Where is who?" Belle asked back.

"Don't play games with me. I know Brady is here so where is he?" Nichole asked.

"If you can't keep track of your fiancé then why should I." Belle said.

"Listen I could destroy you. I have more power and more money than your dad ever will." Nichole said.

Belle watched Brady run out of the apartment before continuing the argument with Nichole.

"Except you really aren't that powerful; are you Nichole?" Belle asked her.

"Didn't you just here what I said." Nichole asked her.

"I heard you and I know you're lying. Don't worry, I called up Tuscany and told them to cancel tonight's dinner since you really don't have any money to pay for it." Belle said.

"You did what? First off you little twit, your family is paying for it and secondly, how dare you cancel my dinner. Don't worry I'll make you pay for this." Nichole said.

"The Blacks aren't supporting this marriage and therefore aren't paying for it and you can't pay for it because you don't really have any money to afford it." Belle said.

"You're really walking a thin line here; you better watch it or I'll…"

"Or you'll what, kill me? You see Nichole I know all about your plans. I know that you're nothing but a poor slut pretending to have all the money in the world and I know that you stole and killed Victor for that money. I also know that Chloe and Brady were suppose to inherit that money not you. You thought you actually were going to get away with it, didn't you? Didn't know that stupid insignificant sluts like you…"

"SHUT-UP; stop calling me that name." Nichole cried out.

"Slut."

"Don't you know when to…

"Stupid slut."

"I could just…"

"What's wrong slut? You can't take it." Belle asked amusedly

Nichole began to cry but quickly turned her tears into pure anger; she lunged at Belle and knocked her out the window. She watched Belle fall four stories before closing the window back up. Nichole turned around to see a stunned Sami standing there.

"You're a murder." Sami cried out.

"Oh shut-up! I just did you a favor by killing your step-sister." Nichole said.

"Belle and I fight a lot but that doesn't mean I don't love her. I'm so calling the police and having them arrest you for murdering my sister." Sami said.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Nichole said.

"Why shouldn't I?" Sami asked her.

"Because if I get arrested for murdering Belle you'll get arrested for switching the DNA tests on Lexi's baby." Nichole said.

"Belle knows about that?" Sami asked.

"She apparently knew more than that. " Nichole said.





Nichole instructed Sami to leave and make the 911 call from a pay phone outside while she looked around Belle's apartment. Nichole didn't find anything until she reached under her couch and found the file with all the dirt on her. Nichole freaked out when she realized that Belle had been talking to Jan all this time. Now she hoped that Belle was dead otherwise she could tell everyone her secrets. Nichole left the apartment and met up with Sami.

"What took you so long?" Sami asked her.

"I had to get something." Nichole replied.

"What did you have to get that was so important?" Sami asked.

"I had to get something that your sister stole from me." Nichole said.

"Yeah...well, you almost got caught." Sami said.

"Quit you're bitching and just remember that I saved your ass." Nichole said.

"Yeah well, I hope my sister's alright." Sami said.

"No you don't; you're just like me. You might have cared had you not found out that you're sister was going to screw you over." Nichole said.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Sami said.





They kept arguing until they saw the ambulance rush to the scene. Sami watched intently for any sign of life while Nichole prayed that Belle had died instantly. The paramedics shook their heads before wheeling out a stretcher. Sami felt relief while Nichole was utterly pissed that Belle had barely survived. At least she had the info on her and Belle would never be able to expose her now. She missed a close call today but that's all it was a close call and nothing more.

Brady was speeding down the highway when his phone rang. He made sure it wasn't Nichole before finally picking up and saying hi. His father told him to hurry up to the hospital because Belle had been in an accident. Brady freaked when he heard how Belle had fallen four stories and was barely hanging on. What would he do if his sister died? Brady didn't understand how she could have fallen; until he remembered seeing Nichole there earlier this morning looking pissed. She had pushed his sister out the window when she couldn't find him. Before going to the hospital, Brady stopped off at the house and grabbed something very useful against Nichole. He was going to put a stop to the misery she was causing all of them.





Nichole smiled as she watched the Blacks, Brady's, and Horton's gather outside Belle's door waiting for news of her condition. There was no way that she survived that fall. There was only one more person that she would have to deal with and that was Jan. That's the only place that Belle could have gotten that information from; that must be where she went last night. She thought to herself. She thought that she had gotten the file out of Jan's hands. What else had Jan given her? She remembered how Belle said something about her being a murder. Jan must have told her that she murdered Victor but then she remembered that inside the file Victor had put the incriminating evidence about how she killed Collin. This meant that Belle knew that Nichole had indeed killed Collin.

Lexi came out with a smile on her face. Belle had made it out of her coma and was now sitting up waiting to talk to Nichole about something very important. Nichole began to feel extremely nervous. Maybe Belle hadn't remembered a single thing. At least that's what she hoped.

"So how are you feeling Belle." Nichole asked her nicely.

"Don't even try to pretend with me. I know you thought that I was dead but I'm not and I haven't forgotten a single thing. I'm going to tell them how you killed Collin, Victor, and attempted to kill me as well." Belle said.

"I think you must be weary from the accident." Nichole said

"No I'm not and you know what I'm talking about." Belle said.

"How are you going to prove those accusations without this?" Nichole asked her while holding up the folder.

Belle immediately hit the nurse's button in her room; Nichole was now trapped and only seconds away from having all her secrets revealed.
