“Lawrence? Is something wrong?” I called as I took quick strides to meet up with him.

Lawrence halted, looked behind his shoulders to see me approaching him with quick steps.

“Is something wrong? I mean, you look like you are hurrying off to somewhere...” I repeated.

He blinked, confused. “Did I? Urh, actually I’m off to have some cool time with...my friends, yeah...” He said. He might have said friends but I was no fool. I could bet my arms he was off to see his lover.

All she wanted was to drink herself to death.I have no friends, my boyfriend just broke up with me after cheating on me all these while and I am married to a man that currently was having his best time with his lover.

I rolled to the edge of the bed and slowly tried to open my eyes.“Ouuch!!” I cried and quickly shut it back. The window curtains have been opened causing the rays of the sunlight to strike my eyes the moment I opened them.It was weekend, the servants wouldn’t be back until Sunday evening, it couldn’t have been any of them that drew the window blinds open. Then it would be no one else but Lawrence. A soft sigh escaped my lips, then I rolled back to the other edge of the bed, away from the sun rays and slowly I opened my eyes.I tried sitting up and barely managed to. My head wouldn’t stop trying to split open with headache.Fuck, why was my head in so much pain...I dragged myself out of bed and walked to the fridge. I opened it and took out a bottle of water and began to gulp. As I drank, a blurred glint of memory brushed through my head. It came

Yes, but it only means Bianca was warming up to me in a good way. She had mostly been reserved around me and asked that I give her time to warm up to me. I didn’t care how long but I was going to let her warm up to at her own pace.I wondered if she wasn’t mad at me again about the news making round about me and Veronica.I just shrugged and waved it off.

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.

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.
