I peeked out through the window all through the journey so I could focus on something else. I tried to remove my hand from Cole's, but he held it tightly like he wanted us to hold hands till the journey ended.

I sighed, not knowing what to do. Being close to him was making me uncomfortable. He was trying to make me fall in love with him, something I didn't want to happen.

"Vanessa," he called, pulling my mind back to reality. I had drifted into different thoughts in such a small period of time.

"Sir," one glare from him, and I was forced to answer him by saying his name.

"Yes, Cole," I responded, still not feeling comfortable.

"Why are you absent minded, I thought you were glad to see her. Why did you change your mind,"

"I didn't change my mind, I just couldn't um…" I ran out of words. I couldn't say the reason why I was scared was because he was holding hands with me, so I made up something else.

"I'm just thinking about work,"

"Is that how much you miss your work or it's me who's

    I got into the car, my heart pounding. I had already fallen in love with Cole, but I didn't know why he got me that cute white lamb. What was he trying to tell me? "Why did you get me that white lamb?" I asked the moment he got into the car."Why did you get me that leopard?" He asked back with a smirk on his face."The same reason you got me the white lamb," I replied, staring into his eyes like we were in a staring contest."Good, you got your answer," "Huh?" My brows furrowed, trying to understand what he meant. He had succeeded in confusing me. "Don't worry, I'm sure we wouldn't need them," he replied with a grin on his face."Are you sure about that?" A teasing smile rested on my lips."We'll find out." The conversation was fun even when it was pointless. Cole was a man who knew how to reach my interest and knew how to make me smile with less effort."So what do you have planned out for Snow?"

    "Panic attack," I muttered back, staring blankly into his eyes like I didn't understand what he was saying, "What did he mean by panic attack?" I questioned myself inwardly, squeezing the pillow I had picked up from the bed."Do you get nervous around me? What are your thoughts when you're with me?" He asked. I gulped loudly when I heard him ask that question, and my heart totally stopped beating when he held my chin, raising my head so I could look at him."Are you afraid of me?" I was shaking inside of me, my lips parted, but there were no words from me. I leaked my dried up lips, not knowing what to do at this moment, I didn't know if I could tell him the truth."I'm–" "Daddy, I'm back!" His daughter snow barged into the room, catching it in a very awkward situation. "Oh, yes dear," he quickly left my chin, and I was finally able to breathe properly again."Daddy, why were you holding butterfly?" He turned her head sideways before coming to join us on the bed. "Is butterfly si

    Cole looked like he was feeling on top of the world. I guessed that it was because he was in the middle of the two women he loved the most."What movie are we watching, Daddy?" Snow inquired, munching on the popcorn she had picked up from the tray beside her.Yes, there were two food trains in the room. One was beside me and the other beside Snow."Yes, what are we watching?" I asked, picking up a lollipop from the tray."How about you guys find out by yourselves. I'm not telling you what we're watching," he replied, using the remote to operate the flat screen TV."Daddy, be quick," Snow said, urging him to be fast because she couldn't wait to watch the movie.Cole chuckled, pressing the okay button, which enabled the movie to start."Yey!" Snow inched closer to her father, who in turn, inched closer to me. His hands moved, causing my eyes to widen when they caught mine."Cole," I called in a whisper without moving my lips, and even when he knew why I called, he paid deaf ears to me a

    Lola's pov."Where is the fuck is she?" I questioned myself, looking through the files on my desk. I had a date with Sheldon in ten minutes at his place, and she was the reason I hadn't gone yet."Shelly!" I screamed, veins showing on my neck. She was beginning to step on my toes. "Shelly!" "Yes, ma'am." She rushed into my office, breathing like a pig."Where are the files I asked for? Do you want to lose your job like that pathetic Vanessa?" "No, ma'am," she replied, and even when she tried to be professional, I noticed she was frowning."Be sure to be here until the closing hours, okay?" "Yes, ma'am." I pulled the file off her hands and placed it on the desk. "I'm going for a date with my love. Please, do not come into my office and also find something reasonable to do. Our clients shouldn't complain about our services. Is that clear?""Yes, ma'am." She was obedient because she had no choice. She knew I wouldn't waste time firing her just by snapping my fingers."Good, I'm off

    "Babe, you know why," He sighed, taking my hands off his chest."But why?" I wanted to hear it from him. I just needed some sort of assurance. I had fallen in love with him, making him the number one in my life."You know I just want to spend time with you, alone, with no one to disturb us." turned, gazing at me with those blue eyes that mesmerised me every time."Yes, love, I know," I responded in a voice barely above a whisper, and even when I tried to control myself, his hands on my cheek made my heart race.Sheldon's touch was able to change me in just one second."I love you," he spoke, holding my hands to his lips and placing multiple kisses on them. "I love you too," I replied, I gulped, my eyes gazing at him even when my pupils darted around on their own. My heartbeat was loud that I could hear it pounding inside my chest, and I was sure he could also hear it. "I love you so much, Lola." He leaned in, capturing my lips in the most passionate kiss ever.My eyes closed, my l

    I slowly opened my eyes to meet his gaze. He was smiling, and his eyes stared at me with so much love that I didn't even know what I had done to deserve him."What happened?" I asked, sitting up as I leaned my back on the headboard."Nothing, baby." He smiled, moving closer to me, his eyes resting on my breast, which was still in view."Well, there's something wrong with the way you're looking at me." I grinned as I sniffed the amazing aroma that filled the room. "What's that aroma?""Well, I cooked for my very special someone, I hope you like it. I made soup," he replied with a smile boldly printed on his face."Really?" I was jumping with joy. Sheldon was the best man to be with, and I was glad I dumped that fool for him. Sheldon knew how to touch me and how to care for me but Cole and his annoying little Snow–she was always his priority and I hated it, I didn't need any kid to frustrate my life for any reason at all."Are you alright?" Sheldon asked, lines appearing on his head."H

    Vanessa's pov.Everyone had slept including Cole. He was facing me and his hands werw wrapped around my waist like he thought I would run away. I rolled my eyes, my heart pounding loudly in my chest when his huge hands wrapped around my waist. It reminded me of our first night together and it made my heart to race. I closed my eyes trying to sleep despite the background noises from the carton which was still on screen. I sighed, gazing at Cole's handsome face. He looked gentle while he slept and without any emotions displaying on his face, his features still stood out. His lips drew me to kiss him. "Come on, Vanessa!" I screamed in my head resisting the urge to touch him. He had always been someone I loved ever since that day we made love, but I was just too scared to act on it. "Vanessa, don't do this!" I screamed in my head, not thinking about the consequences of my action. I couldn't hold back anymore, I wanted to caress his chin and confess how much I loved him."Cole?" I did

    "I-I don't understand," I stammered, my hands shaking continuously because I didn't know what else to do."I'm here for you. How can you claim not to understand such a simple statement?" He raised his brow, moving towards me as I took slow steps backwards."Are you scared of me?" He asked, making me gulp loudly. If only he knew I was scared of what he was doing to me. He was making me love him with every single torture he was giving me."Where's Snow?" I asked in a shaky voice, trying to change the topic. I thought that was one of the ways to save me since I didn't know what to do anymore."School," he said briefly, trapping me in the depths of his eyes with an intensive stare. "So soon?" I asked, but he ignored me. He was still coming forward, and with every step he took forward, I moved back with a pounding heart. "Vanessa, stay still," When those words left his lips, I tried to take a step backwards, but I bumped my back into the wall behind me. "Now that you have stayed still..

    Vanessa's pov.I had been trying to get my phone plugged in all day, but it seemed like everything was just off. I plugged my phone, and then I was hocked at the number of voice mails I got when I turned it on."Vanessa, it's Cole. Please... I nees you, I just lost my mom, your the only one I can be able to count on, please..." Hearing it, my phone dropped from my hands, and I instantly felt like the whole world was about to crumble."No, no!" I was having a serious headache, but Cole needed me the most now. With that I grab my purse and rushed out of the house halting a cab which was used to get to Cole's house.I never thought I was going to come here anytime soon, but here I was, standing with my eyes watching the gate as I hoped he was going to be fine.When I knocked on the door, the gate keeper opened up, and when so that it was me, he rushed to my side I'm pulling into the house, telling me Cole wasn't all right."I know that, that's why I'm here."

    Cole's pov.The driver questions me about what was happening, but I kept short, instructioning him to drive. Tried calling the only person I knew I could reach out to, but then things didn't go as planned. Her phone was switched off, and I dropped a couple of voice messages just to tell her how I was feeling."Hey Vanessa, I feel really terrible, please come over, please..." I begged with everything that in me, my eyes burning as I dropped the phone in the car after sending the last voice message.My heart was beating hard in my chest, and I saw how she was acting. If only she was by my side, she would know the right words to say to me just to calm me down.Getting home, I rushed to my room, avoiding my daughter who was probably back from school. I didn't even know how to tell her the news, but I knew that I couldn't tell her now. She was. It in the right state of mind now."Please... Mom, don't leave me.." I placed my head on my pillow, and I wept for a little while. My eyes was fil

At first I thought you was tired from The journey, but after a while, I realise that it was becoming too constant for how to catch a nap. It was unlike mother for her to lay In her room all-day, but I was going to try my best to make sure I found out what was going on no matter what it took.I was in my room, pondering about the whole situation when I decided to go see what was happening. I strolled down the stairs, tired as I moved. It has been a long day since I returned fodm the office, and the fact that Vanessa didn't even speak to me expect in times where she came to hand me files broke my heart deeply."Mom?" I called, and immediately saw something fall out from her hand. She was shocked, and tried to pick it up, but rushed there to meet her.I stared at her suspiciously asking her about what was in her hands when she tried to hide them even more."Mom, what are those?"

That was my tenth shot if I was really counting right because at this time I was getting a little lightheaded.But, thank Goodness my dear bestie Shelly was there to guide me home in case I pass out. She wasn't quite the kind of person I was but she could tolerate me and my bad habits at least and that's why I cling to her."Vanessa this is too much drink you are taking, you can't kill yourself over estimations you don't really have a base fact to prove, besides he's pleading for your apology-""Who says I wanna kill myself, huh?"

    Mary's pov.I was in my room, scrolling some videos on my phone when she came out of nowhere. She was looking angry, but then she hid it before getting to where I was.It was Clara. She was sitting there, her eyes darting around in anger, yet she couldn't tell me what the problem was to my face directly. I kept quiet, acting like she was not in the room, and then she finally spoke."You said you've gotten over Cole, why then did you do that to them, huh?" My brows furrowed trying to understand what she was talking about, but then it want just possible, it seemed like there was something wrong with her. What the hell was she talking about?I knew that she didn't know anything about the whole matter, but then she was acting like she did which finally caught my attention."Clara, go straight to the point, what the fuck are you talking about, huh?" I asked, and she was unable to say anything because it all came as a shock to her. She was surprised that I was denying ever having anything

    Cole's pov.I had to send Snow to her bedroom. I was meant to go into the bathroom to freshen up before I would go down for breakfast. It was obvious I wasn't going to the office today because I was really tired, and I also needed to find a way to get Vanessa back.Speaking of Vanessa, could it be that mother came back because of her? My eyes widened when I came out of the bathroom. She was here to ruin my relationship with Vanessa just like she did with my first woman.Anger flooded my mind, and I instantly felt like tearing her apart. As a mother she was supposed to support me, not to ruin my relationships with the woman I loved.Thinking of that alone made me really furious, and I felt like storming to her room to ask her questions, but then, what could I possibly ask her.I moved out of my room, and immediately bumped into one of the maids. She was sorry, apologizing almost immediately, but I didn't have time for that. I wasn't to know why she was here."Why are you here?" I stro

    Cole's pov.I came back from the engagement looking really tired, my eyes heavy, just like my heart as I moved up the stairs. I was going to see the only person who could make me smile at this moment, my little daughter, Snow, and looking at the time, it was obvious that the servants put her asleep.When I got to the front of her door, I sighed, pushing the door open I was greeted by a sad look on her face. Her window wasn't covered by the cutton, and her lights were still on. I knew the maids weren't the ones who did this. She was just too smart, and might have pretended to sleep just to get the maids out of the place.Pushing that aside, I moved to where she laid in the bed like sleeping beauty, her eyes were closed, and her hands were placed togther under her pillow. She was just so cute.Sitting at the corner of the bed, I exhaled, starting a conversation with her just to tell he how rough my night had been."What's wrong snow, I'm doing all I can to make the relationship work.

    Sheldon's POVI could barely sleep that night, Lola caught me cheating on her. I couldn't believe I was a pawn in Vanessa's chess.How would I have fallen for that trap with Evelyn? I should have known it was sabotaged, and now Lola wants absolutely nothing from me. The disappointment in her eyes were the last and most horrible look I can never forget. The love I have for her hasn't even reduced a bit. I thought about a new apology strategy to get Lola back as I walked to my office. Just as I got to the door to my office, I saw two muscular guys in black coats who stood side by side.“May I help you guys?”They gave me a strong stare with no words as they restricted me from getting into the office. I was beginning to get scared of them because they didn't seem pleasant at all as I tried to get passed them again.“I got some work to do, so if you don't-”The man on the left showed me the left area of his jacket, which revealed a pistol slotted at the waist of his trousers.“God!
