Chapter 48She was shocked and taken aback at first, she didn't know what to do and only opened her eyes widely, watching Shane as he sucked on her lips deeply.She couldn't reciprocate 'cause she was shocked and she also didn't know what to do. It's her first time someone would be kissing her. It was her first kiss.Shane broke the kiss not because she didn't reciprocate but 'cause he was almost out of breath. He wasn't expecting her to reciprocate anyways." I love you " He whispered again, this time around, staring deeply into her eyeballs and she found it hard to look away.A knock at the door made her look away while Shane couldn't stop staring at her. " Sire it's Claus " Claus said from outside and Layla bit her lips slowly.Shane finally looked away from her. " Come in " He said and almost immediately, Claus walked in.He bowed a little to Shane and then glanced at Layla. He noticed the unusual redness on her lips and got the hunch, he smiled secretly before going ahead." It's
Chapter 49" Really! We missed you too " Layla replied, emphasizing on the word * We *.As much as Shane would have loved to stop them, he couldn't so Bryan wouldn't find out he was in love with his secretary and not his wife.Layla gasped inwardly when she remembered they were in Shane's office and Shane had been watching. She bit her lips slowly before glancing at Shane. " Um.. I should go back to work, I will see you later " She said and Bryan nodded. He understood immediately that she had to work." I'm sorry sire " She apologized and Shane was forced to nod even went he was burning in anger and jealousy deep down.Layla rushed out of the office and Bryan turned to Shane in smiles while Shane had to cover his angry expression into a neutral one." She's so pretty and nice " Bryan commented and Shane had to force his head to nod. " So where did you meet her? " Bryan asked Shane but he kept mute. Bryan chuckled. " Oh yeah, that's a dumb question. She probably came herself to apply f
Chapter 50Shane raised his brows the more. " How did you meet him? " He asked instead. " Well, when we were still in high school. His brother was a friend of hers and we knew him from there.. " She said." And he picked interest in you? " Shane asked the most obvious question and Layla sighed. " I guess " She muttered." Did you purposely do that to make me jealous? " He asked and she raised her head up at him. " Huh? "" You blushed when he said those sweet words to you. Did you do that purposely? " He asked, looking at her intently and Layla shook her head immediately. " No, ofcourse not. I didn't mean to do that "She muttered the the last words. " You did that 'cause you liked him too right? " Shane asked again and she sighed." Shane... " " You knew I was hurt right? But you never bothered to came back to explain things to me " He muttered, turning his attention back to the meal in front of him." I'm sorry " Layla muttered as she also looked down at her food." You really don'
Chapter 51* Next Morning *Layla wasn't going to work today, today was her day off. She heard the door bell ring and she was on her way to the door.She twisted the door knob open and the door opened, revealing Bryan. He had a light smile on and he was fully dressed." Hi " He said cheerfully as his eyes roamed over Layla's body. She wasn't dressed. " Hey.. um, why are you here? " Layla asked tho she had a little clue of why he was standing before her. The date! But she wasn't really interested in the date.If Shane found out too, it might cause a misinterpretation and she doesn't want that. Not like they were dating anyways but she cared. " Um... You saw the text message I sent last night. Didn't you? " Bryan asked itching his hair." Oh, the date right? " She asked, pretending to be oblivious and Bryan nodded." Oh, sorry but I have to go to work soon ' She lied and Bryan muttered an * oh * disappointedly. " Yeah, sorry " She faked a sorry." Buh I could talk to Shane you know. We'
Chapter 52" I'm really in a tight spot " She muttered. She liked Shane instead and not Bryan and Mirah's aware of this. She's just jealous that Bryan likes her instead of her ( Mirah ).Bryan had been really kind to them ever since they were in highschool and It was then Mirah took interest in him. She would talk about her dream of getting married to him but Bryan only had eyes for Layla. He would take them for shopping, outing and even buy them stuffs. Layla wouldn't want to hurt his feelings if she told him she didn't feel the same way. But she's really in a tight spot, tho she's glad that Shane understood her but Mirah's making it all hard for her. Her phone beeped and she clicked on the message notification tho she had a clue of whom it might be.* Are you free now? * It was a text from Bryan, she was right.* Yes, we need to talk * She texted back.It was time for him to know the truth, she didn't like him, she liked someone else. He should also let go of her and try to like Mi
Chapter 53They got to his mansion and Mirah guided him in together with his driver. They dropped him gently on his bed and Mirah sighed sadly. She was in love with this man but it hurts her so much that he didn't feel the same way, that was why she kept venting her anger at Layla.She knows Layla didn't do nothing but it's just hurting her to see the man she love love her best friend Instead. She wiped the tears that had fall unconsciously and she let out a sigh. The driver had left by now.Suddenly a hand grabbed her and pulled her to the bed, she let out a loud gasp. It was Bryan in his drunk state. He held her tightly, caging her in his arm with his eyes still shut. She sighed, hoping he could do this in his right senses not in his drunk state.She tried to break free but he wouldn't allow her. He mustn't see her like this tomorrow else he might think she's forcing herself on him and she wouldn't want that. She might be in love with him but one thing she cares so much about is her
Chapter 54He finally released her after some minutes and looked straight into her eyes and she also did the same. He wiped the almost dried traces of tears on her face with his thumb." You love me now? " Mirah asked surprisingly and he hugged her again. " I have always loved you. I was mistaken, the painting.. Cole said it was from Layla " He said and she let out a gasp." No, it was me.. he was.. "" I know now, he mistook you for Layla " He completed for her and she nodded. " I'm really sorry. I'm sorry for treating you bad but I really kept my promise. I found myself getting drawn to the painting every minute and I kept felling for you, but I only thought it was from Layla. But I promise.. " He paused and broke the hug.He trailed his thumb to her lips, " I will transfer the love to you. I will love you instead 'cause my heart is for you.. okay.. " He said and she nodded before pushing herself into his arms. " I'm glad, I thought I was going to lose you. I thought my efforts were
Chapter 55Bryan's car came into a halt in front of the girl's apartment and it was time for Mirah to alight from the car. She looked at Bryan slowly and he was staring at her initially." Um, I should go now " She said, playing with the strap of her bag. Bryan didn't give a reply but kept staring at her." Um, I will go then " She said and turned her face away from his. She bit her lips slowly, she was hoping to get a goodbye kiss from him, but seems like she's not getting any of that.Her hands touched the door handle and Bryan pulled her back to him. She was a bit suprised but slowly understood what he wanted to do.He leaned closer to her and she also did until their lips touched each other. Immediately that happened, Mirah dropped her bag on her laps and pulled more closer into the kiss while Bryan sucked on her lips fastly, and they both moved at the same rhythm.Mirah held Bryan's shirt as she pulled more closer into the kiss not willing to let him go. Bryan finally broke the k
Chapter 90" I know you must be shocked to see us here " Mrs Brown started as Shane finally had his seat, still staring at them in suprise and with nervousness glaring on his face. " Um yeah... I wasn't expecting this and Layla never told me you two were.. "" She isn't aware " Mr Brown cut him off and he nodded. " Oh " He muttered." You really have a nice personality than expected. You know I and my wife are a good fan of your good works " Mr Brown complimented." Thanks sir " Shane muttered with a light bow and silence erupted for a while." Do you really love my daughter as much as she loves you? " Mrs Brown suddenly asked. " Huh? " Shane asked as he raised his head." She seems to love you so much to defend you that much.. I mean.. " She let out a little scoff." She even talked back at me and shouted. She had never done that before " Mrs Brown said and Shane bent his head a little." I'm sorry " He muttered but Mrs Brown suddenly chuckled. " No it's fine. I guess we were also re
Chapter 89" So are you gonna talk or what? " Mrs Brown asked, getting tired of the sudden silence that erupted between them. Layla had called her and Mr Brown together at the dinning table, saying she had something important to say." Um... Mom it's about my boyfriend " She said and Mrs Brown raised her brows. " What about him? " She asked." He's not whom I told you he was " She said the truth and Mrs Brown sat up properly on her seat. " Wait what? " She asked to be sure if her ears hadn't betrayed her." Mom.. " Layla tried to call but Mrs Brown cut her off. " So what you're trying to say Is that you lied to us? " Mrs Brown asked almost angrily, pointing at Mr Brown and then at herself." Yeah somehow " Layla muttered in acknowledgement and Mrs Brown scoffed unbelievably. " I knew something was fishy! " She shouted and hit the table loudly that Layla flinched and Mrs Brown wasn't an exception, he flinched lightly." So you've grown wings right? You now lie to I and your dad! You no
Chapter 88" What's it? " Layla groaned as Mirah dragged her roughly out of the room. " Just follow me.. hurry " Mirah snapped and finally they were down the stairs." Watch.. " Mirah said pointing at the TV. " Shane? " Layla asked in suprise and Mirah nodded. " Exactly.. and now.. look at your parents " She said and Layla took a glance at her parents whose gaze was fixed on the TV screen and they seemed to be discussing a thing and they also had smiles on their face." It seems they like Shane " Mirah muttered and Layla raised her brows. " Really? " She asked unsure and Mirah nodded." Let's go find out then " Mirah said and at once pulled Layla properly to the living room. They both sat on the couch next to their ( Layla ) parents'.Layla fixed her gaze properly and it was truly Shane. It was some news about Shane donations to the country." Mom you know this man? " Mirah was the first to ask and Mrs Brown turned to them and then nodded." Of course I know him. He's Shane Kent right
Chapter 87" So you're gonna talk to your parents about it? " Mirah asked a little bit surprised and Layla nodded. " Wow. That's so brave of you " She muttered and Layla chuckled. " I have to.. I'm tired of keeping my relationship with Shane a secret. I don't care if they would accept us or not " She muttered." So when would you tell them? " Mirah asked. " Probably tomorrow " Layla replied and Mirah nodded.** Next Morning **{ The Girl's Apartment }" Morning mom and dad " Layla greeted her parents as she descended the stairs." Morning daughter " They both replied her and she smiled lights as she proceeded to the kitchen.A news feed pooped up on the TV screen and the two parents lips formed into a smile as they stare at the lovely man on the screen." He gave the orphanages foods again. He's really a nice man. It would have been great If we had other wealthy people in the country to be like him " Mrs Brown said and Mr Brown nodded in support." I still can't believe he refurnished
Chapter 86* Shane's Apartment *Layla had just finished having her bath, she joined Shane who was almost asleep on the bed. He had been waiting for Layla's arrival. Layla was already dressed in her night robe when she joined Shane on the bed.Almost immediately he turned to her facing her properly. He leaned closer and placed a short kiss on her lips before pulling her to himself, wrapping his arms around her waist before covering them with the quilt.With this, they both drifted to sleep almost immediately.** The Girl's Apartment **" Morning mom " Layla muttered as she walked down the stairs, yawning heavily.Mrs Brown scoffed at her daughter's pretense. " Where did you head to last night with your boyfriend? I saw him come pick you up in another expensive car. Thought you said he was on a business trip with the CEO of your company and why was he with another luxurious car I'm sure not just any one could buy. That car belongs to rich people " Mrs Brown rushed her at once that she
Chapter 85* At The Airport *" Oh Goodness.. I missed you " Brielle muttered as she pulled herself into Shane's arms. Shane smiled and hugged her lightly. " I missed you too " He broke the hug and Brielle released a scoff. " I bet you didn't. You was probably all hooked up with Layla " She said and Shane chuckled." But I miss her too and can't wait to see her. I hope she's fine? " Brielle questioned as the trio walked over to Shane's car, prepared to take Brielle to a private mansion she had bought for herself." Yeah she is " Shane muttered. " So tell me about the hardships you told me you two were experiencing at the moment " Brielle said as they settled properly in the car and the driver ignited the car engine before driving off.** Kent's Enterprise **Claus suddenly walked into the girl's office and the duo spranged up at once.

You said that more than a hundred times already " Layla exaggerated and he smiled. " It's 'cause I love you so much " He said sincerely, staring deeply into her eyes and that sent a blush to her cheeks as her cheeks reddened immediately.She smiled and looked at him. " Yesternight was great " He suddenly said and that made her blush more heavily that she had to look away from his gaze. Shane smiled and pulled her face to his and smashed his lips on hers slowly, kissing her passionately and she responded immediately, kissing him sweetly.She broke the kiss first and pecked his lips again, he smiled before moving his face away from hers."

Mom " Shane called with a smile. " Baby " Mrs Bills replied with a big smile. Layla almost scoffed at how affectionate the two looked at each other." Is Layla over there?
