Chapter 70Layla opened her eyes lightly and Shane's arm were wrapped around her. He was still asleep and she stared endlessly at his handsome face. Shane tossed sleepily to her side and their face came in contact with each other and their lips touched lightly. Layla took advantage of what happened as she moved a bit closer and kissed him deeply, Shane opened his eyes slightly and when he saw it was Layla. He responded and kissed her back. Shane broke the kiss. " You're fine now? " Shane asked as he touched her forehead and her temperature was back to normal. He wanted to know if she was still cold. " No, I'm fine now. All thanks to you " She said and he let out a smile.They both sat up at the same time like they had planned and they looked at each other in suprise before letting out a chuckle.Shane's hand grabbed his phone and his eyes widened at his missed calls. Layla noticed his look. " Is it late already? " Layla asked and he shook his head." Not really, it's just that I go
Chapter 71Layla got the coffee and walked over to Shane's office. She knocked gently at the door and instead of she hearing a command for her to come in, she only heard approaching footsteps. She raised her brows slightly as she was a bit confused. They didn't want her in or what?The door finally opened and Brielle appeared. " Here " She handed over the coffee to her. Brielle let out a little smile as she collected the coffee from Layla but Layla noticed her expression changed slowly." Is something wrong? " She was forced to ask, not like she cared anyways. " Yeah, the coffee is cold " Brielle muttered and Layla raised her brows." Yeah, who would want a hot coffee in the afternoon? " Layla asked in confusion. " Um, he actually likes hot coffee and it doesn't matter which time of the day, please get him a hot one " Brielle said." Oh " Layla muttered and then nodded. She collected the coffee back from her and Brielle walked back in, closing the door. " Where's the coffee? " She hea
Chapter 72" What are you talking about? " Layla asked almost in a stutter. " You know absolutely nothing about him. I have known him for years and I know literally everything about him. But you.. I don't even think you know what his worst fear is? " She asked and Layla looked away defeated.Brielle chuckled. " I guess I'm right then. I would advise you little lady. Give up. He's mine " She said sternly and stood up with a fake smile as she walked over to Shane. She sat down and Shane passed him a questioning look, she only smiled at him.**It was time for Layla to leave for home and she decided against going to Shane's office. She walked out of the company and headed home straight." She's not coming? " Shane didn't know when he said that out aloud. Normally, Layla would be in his office at that moment, probably to bade him goodnight. She does that always before going home." I guess she ain't coming today then " Brielle said walking in. Shane raised his brows. " You mean Layla righ
Chapter 73" Layla.. " Shane called sadly and hurtfully. " Please. Please let's do this " She muttered and he let out a sigh. " Is it what you really want? We could fix things, you know? We don't have to break apart. I promised to amend things and set things straight and right and I would. Please.. " Shane pleaded but she shook her head." It's what I want. I'm sorry " She muttered and Shane shut his eyes hurtfully as he tries to prevent his tears from falling. He looked up at her and Layla had to hide her hurt look. She knew Shane wouldn't be okay and he would definitely feel hurt but she only wants the best for him. She feels she's not good enough for him." Shane, please. Let's just put an end to this. You should love Brielle instead, she's your wife. Try to love her please " Layla pleaded but Shane shook his head." Is she the one that told you to do this!? Is she threatening you? " Shane asked as more tears rolled down his cheeks." Shane.. " " Layla I love you! " Shane raised h
Chapter 74* Next Day ** Shane's Mansion *" You're back " Brielle said happily as Shane walked in into the mansion with a neutral expression on - or maybe he had no expression on." Sorry for getting you all worried " Was all he said to her as he walked over to the stairs without sparing her a glance. Brielle rushed after him almost immediately, by then he had walked in into his suite. She caught up with him and stood at his front, making him pause on his tracks. " What is it? " He wasn't in the mood for a round of questions or talks. He wasn't in the mood to talk at all.He had cried all night and his head at that moment was probably spinning. He just had to keep it in 'cause he still had tons of files to tend do at work." Are you okay? " Brielle asked worriedly. " Do I not look okay? " He asked with no expression on. " Layla told me you two broke up? Is that really true? " She asked, looking really worried but Shane wasn't really noticing her worried expression. He had other thi
Chapter 75Brielle pulled away from the hug and wiped her tears slowly. " I'm sorry " Shane muttered and Brielle let out a sad smile. " It's fine " She muttered sadly.Shane sighed and ruffled his hair slowly. " We should continue with our work right? " Brielle said, clearing the intense atmosphere." Yeah " Shane nodded and watched as Brielle walked back to the couch. It was obvious she wasn't okay. Shane let out a sad sigh. This was all he had been trying to avoid. How he would handle Brielle and not toy with her emotions if he would choose Layla over her but now he's hurting her emotions. And now he partially lost Layla already. And he doesn't even feel a thing for Brielle anymore, the only person his heart is beating for at the moment is Layla and now they broke up already. He sighed for the umpteenth time.He got up from his seat and walked over to Brielle who sobbed silently. He sat beside her and held her hands into his palms. " Brielle.. I... I really didn't mean to do this t
Chapter 76" Can that happen? " She asked and Brielle let out an unbelievably scoff. " Watch it happen " She said with an eye roll as she walked away leaving Layla alone in deep thoughts. Is his feelings for me really going to fade off? Would I really be at a losing point?Layla let out a sigh as that gave her a terrible headache again. She couldn't think properly.** Next Day *** Kent's Enterprise *" Morning " Layla greeted Tina as she walked into their office. Tina was a bit suprised to see her. She raised her brows questioningly. " You came to work? " She asked suprisingly and Layla nodded. " I guess " Layla muttered as she walked over to her seat. Tina got up from her seat and walked over to her." You know you're causing harm to yourself right? " She asked and Layla raised her brows tho she seemed to get a hint of what she was about saying to her." Claus told me about the matter between you and Shane " She said and Layla nodded, her thoughts were right anyways." Do you thi
Chapter 77" Brielle.. " Layla called almost in tears. " Please.. do it for me " Brielle pleaded. " But.. but you love him.. you love him and.. "" I know, but it's just that some things aren't really meant to be " Brielle said, forcing a smile but deep down she wasn't okay at all. Her heart was aching and her world felt like it was spinning.She was giving up on the man she loved so much. " But you .. " Layla tried to say." I would find someone else. I will " She muttered and immediately, Layla hugged her so tightly, almost choking her. Brielle hugged her back and the tears she was holding finally fell as she hugged Layla back." I'm sorry.. I really am " Layla cried guiltily." It's fine. I will be okay " Brielle muttered as she shed silent tears as she hugged Layla more tightly.** Shane's Apartment **Shane spranged up immediately he saw Brielle walking in through the door." Hey, are you okay? " He asked worriedly as he noticed traces of some almost dried tears on her face." Ye
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 guys are back? " Layla asked anxiously while Tina rushed over to Claus and jumped in his arms, he lifted her up and plant kisses on her face whi
Chapter 84* The Girl's Apartment *" I love you " Shane said and Layla chuckled. They were still sitted in his car. He came to drop her off at home. It's the next day already." 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." I should leave then " She said and Shane nodded. She smiles before alighting from the car. She closed the door slowly and Shane wined down the car's window and she came to v

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? " Mrs Bills suddenly asked and Shane nodded while Layla's brows creased sightly as she wondered why Mrs Bills had asked of her." I want to speak with her in private please " She said and Shane nodded before handing the phone over to Layla and he stood.Layla looked at him with a raised brows and gestured to him to sit but he only smiled at her before walking away out of view. " Gosh that jerk " She muttered annoyingly before turning to the phone's screen to meet with Mrs Bills who stared at her lovingly." Mom " Layla called, trying to hide her nervousness. " Are you okay? " Mrs Bills asked instead as she stared at Layla more deeply. "
Chapter 82He dispose the plastic and made to leave but Layla stopped him. She stood right in front of him. " I'm sorry please. I really didn't mean to drink too much, you should know it ain't me..
