Before she could say another word, he shushed whatever word she wanted to say by claiming her lips.

For a moment Veronica thought the earth stopped moving as Lawrence suckled her lips.

She scarcely recalled he briefly stopped kissing her and lifting her up into his arms to the room and lying her gently on the bed.

Her senses came back and she became really shy when they were now in the room and the lights shone brightly down on them. Veronica knew he could see her as much she saw him and she wondered what was going on in his head as he got out of his pajamas. Her eyes followed him.

He stopped after unhooking a few buttons.

“I’m sorry...we should stop here. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.” He started to button up his shirt.

She sat up on the bed, alerted. “Why? You don’t find me beautiful enough?” she asked hoping that the hurt in her tone wasn’t noticeable.

    LAWRENCE’S POVIt was the loud blare of my phone that had awoken me from sleep the next day. I rolled towards the bedside drawer half-asleep and grabbed hold of my phone. As expected, it was Jessie. I glanced at the time. It was still very early.I grunted wondering what the early call was for. But the call ended immediately almost at the same time as I made to swipe the answer button.I rubbed my eyes tiredly pushing myself up on the bed. He must have had something urgent to say to me. If his call ended for reasons from his side, then I knew I must call him back at once.As I dialed his number, a beep sounded from my phone signifying a new message.It popped up atop my screen notifications and read, “I am sorry sir for waking you up. It was a mistake. Hope you had a good night? See you at work later.”I chuckled. Jessie wasn’t one to make mistakes of such. I couldn’t help but wonder if his night was as eventful as mine. He must have still been in the hang of it to make a mistake.Wel

I had seen the news in the morning when Jessie was driving me to work. It made the front paper of the top magazines and newspapers of the country.When I asked Jessie if it was necessary that they revealed I handled the project, he had said, “Chairman Williams personally instructed that it be mentioned.”Well, I was pleased with the whole thing except the attention. The moment the elevator jerked and stopped at the last floor, the door was opened and I was faced with a line of the officials of Williams Fashion company.“Welcome Director Lawrence.” Director Liam greeted baring his teeth.“Director Liam, you don’t have to welcome me.” I said stepping out of the elevator, not pleased.“No, how can you say that sir..

At the time I had given up and only wanted to bury whatever silly thoughts I had about him to work, he showed up unannounced.I felt the butterflies in my belly leap ecstatically at the sight of him but all the pleasantness and whatever butterfly that evaded my insides soon vanished the moment I was reminded of my resolve.“Is there something you wished to say?” I asked him with a straight face.He was mute for a split second and then he said, “Urh...well, I just came to check up on you. You left quite early in the morning.”“We could have spoken at home. Why did you have to come all the way here? You must have been busy with work.” I spoke flatly, so uninterested in whatever he had to say. I bet he must have noticed it as the excitement in his tone withered.He decided to let me get back to work and let us talk at home. I mumbled a low ‘okay’ and

I had dozed off briefly after sobbing and woke up later in the night to find him lying beside me. I couldn’t say if he was deep in sleep or not but I felt my heart tighten seeing how quiet he lay.How much did my words hurt him?No, I shouldn’t think about that. That was for the best, Veronica, that was for the best. I had hoped it was morning but when I checked the time, it was barely midnight. That instant, I knew it was going to be one of my longest nights.I tossed and turned until it was morning before I finally fell asleep again.“Shit!” I groaned as I forced myself out of bed and dashed to have a wash.I was supposed to turn in some report to Director Liam that morning and I hadn’t even had a proper look at it. It was going to take me a couple of hours. Shoot! I knew it. I knew letting myself fall asleep when it was already morning was a

He had a lot to say to her but seeing her had his words sinking right back into his stomach. “Uhm, come, there's something I need us to do,” he finally said.

Reluctantly, she started out of her room wondering what it was he wanted to show her. “Come in now.”Lawyer Steve entered. “Do you remember him?”Veronica tried to think.

His name and pictures are all over the media. He is at a risk of losing his position in the group but he chose to come here instead,” Jack sneered. He looked up at Lawrence. “Are you sure you are at the right place?” Lawrence chuckled.

She reached forward and grabbed his hands. Tears clouded her eyes. “You know, everything I did was because I loved you. I couldn't bear to live without you. I regretted hurting you and I wanted to make amends.”He sneered. “Love me? What a load of crap.” Then snatched his hands away. “I swear it.

    VERONICA'S POVAfter Chairman Williams and his wife left, I slumped into the seat. I couldn't breathe. In the last minutes, I couldn't breathe. I had always imagined this day. I did but I never imagined my heart feeling this wrenched. I stared at Lawrence. He was up on his feet looking at the window almost restlessly. What was going on in his head?I wondered why he never told me he found out the child wasn't his. Was he ever going to tell me if this didn't happen?Perhaps he never would have. Perhaps he had gotten comfortable with his ex-girlfriend while I was away. I felt my throat dry and ended up swallowing hard, burning my throat in the process. “Sir, the reporters are headed here. They have gotten a wind of your residence,”Jessie announced. Lawrence let out a frustrated sigh. “We have to leave now. The reporters will soon flood here,” he told me. “I will pick a few of my things,” I said as I stood up and went into my room. On my way out I heard Jessie telling him the rep
