Sorry It took so long to update the story. But I have been really busy. Please review and tell me what you think. Thanks


Nikolas drove as fast as he could. Liz was pretty cryptic on the phone. All she said was something happened to Nadine at the hospital and she was at the police station being questioned. He had no idea what happened but all he knew is that Nadine needed him and that was enough. He came into the police station looking for Nadine but she was nowhere in sight. He inquired about her and they told him she was currently in the interrogation room and to take a seat. He sat down and just waited staring at the door to the interrogation room. He then saw a police officer bringing in a man with cuffs that he recognized. It was that doctor that he found kissing Nadine all those months ago. So many thoughts were going through his mind at that moment. He didn't know what happened. All he knew is that the reason Nadine was here was most likely because of him. The police took him back to a cell. Then, Nikolas sees Nadine come out of the interrogation room. Right now she was talking to one of the police officers but he knew something was off. The police officer gave her his business card and she turned and saw Nikolas there. He stood up when he saw that she had spotted him. She was staring at him and she ran to him and threw her arms around him.

He just held her in his arms sensing that was all she needed at that moment and they stayed in that embrace for a few minutes.

He whispered," Baby, what happened?"

"Just hold me and never let me go," Nadine said emotionally.

"Always...Always."

"Can we go home?"

"Of course."

Nikolas turned his body and held her shoulder against his chest so they didn't lose contact.

They went back to Wyndamere and Nadine didn't say a word all the way there. He knew something was wrong but had no idea what happened. They went into the bedroom. He just stood there waiting for her to say something.

"I'm going to take a shower, okay."

"Okay, I'll be here when you get out."

Nadine goes into the bathroom and goes into the shower. She starts scrubbing her body trying to wipe any sign of him touching her. She starts crying in the shower and falls to the floor and stayed like that for quite a few minutes. Awhile later she comes out of the bathroom with no sign of her breakdown in the shower. Nikolas is laying there in bed with his pajamas on and watches as Nadine appears from the bathroom. He pulls back the covers and she goes into the bed and places her head on his chest. She was enjoying being in the arms of this man who would never hurt her or ever do anything like what Dr. Harrison had done to her. She lays in his arms for a few minutes not saying a word to each other.

"Now do you want to tell me what happened tonight?"

She didn't respond.

There were a few more minutes of silence.

"I think I should. But first you have to promise to stay calm and don't do anything crazy."

She sits up in the bed and faces him and then they were both sitting up with their backs against the headboard looking at each other. A million thoughts were going through his mind at that moment all he knew was what she was about to say could not be good.

"Okay. I'll try. What happened?"

"Nikolas, do you remember Dr. Harrison?"

"Yes."

"Well he tried to rape me tonight."

"WHAT!!! WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?"

"Calm. Remember?"

Nikolas was doing nothing but freaking out and all he was thinking about how he was going to kill that asshole.

"Okay...I'm really trying Nadine. But how can I be calm after you tell me something like that? Right now I just want to kill that bastard."

"I know, honey."

"Nadine, please tell me what happened? That's if you can. I'll understand if you don't want to talk about it."

"No. I do. I think I need to tell you what happened. I was at the hospital working late and felt tired and it was dead so I decided to try to get some sleep in a room. I was sleeping and dreaming about you. I was dreaming of you kissing me but then I felt something was wrong. I realized they weren't your lips I was kissing. I suddenly opened up my eyes and he was on me kissing me. I tried pushing him off of me. I was punching him and kicking him but he wouldn't get off of me. I bit his lip but he became very angry and put his hand over my mouth so I couldn't scream and he moved his mouth down to my neck and started groping my breasts."

Tears were streaming down her face.

"It's okay. You can stop." He wiped her tears from her face.

"No. I need to tell you everything."

He saw the determination in her eyes and knew she needed to do this.

She continued.

"He then put his hand into my underwear and was fingering me. He pulled down my pants and underwear and pulled down his pants. I bit his hand and he removed it from my mouth so I started screaming. Then, Patrick Drake came in and pulled him off of me."

Nikolas didn't know what to say.

Nadine waited for him to say something but he didn't say a word.

"You hate me don't you? You think I'm dirty for letting him touch me," Nadine said with tears in her eyes.

Nikolas cups her face into his hands.

"Nadine, this is not your fault. And in no way would I ever hate you or think that you were dirty. You're so beautiful and pure. I hate what he did to you and I hate that I wasn't there to protect you from that creep." Nikolas says with tears in his eyes.

He takes her into his arms and kisses the top of her head and presses her head against his cheek.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you."

"Nikolas, you can't always be there to protect me every second of the day."

"But I want to be. I'll always be here for you. I know this is a stupid question but are you okay?"

Nadine starts crying and holds him closer.

"No, I don't think so."
