Between Two Hearts Chapter Fifty-Seven- I Want You to Promise Me.
Layla stared in awe as she watched the clip Justin displayed in front of her. Indeed, she underestimated him. Anybody who watches this video would not believe that he forced himself on her. She was dumbfounded.“ You forced yourself on me!” she said angrily.Justin curled his lips and said in a wicked tone,“ Oh really, did I force myself on you? Well, let's see what your darling husband would say when he finds out that his precious and all-perfect wife is kissing another man right under his roof.”Layla was pained. She felt the whole world had turned against her. She thought confiding in Kendra would help ease her plight but she was wrong.Kendra got the whole message wrong and it was very easy for Justin to deceive her and get her on his side, indeed love conquers all.“ Did you think you could play a fast one on me? I planned this fucking game and I will win! Nobody can ever beat me to it, not you or your stupid husband. Not even that foolish Kendra. I will always have the last la
Between Two Hearts Chapter Fifty-Eight-Tell Us Why You Married Damian
It will Damian gazed at his wife with a disturbed look, he knew he couldn't deny her anything.“ Is it about the video? I have been waiting all day for you to tell me but you didn't. I don't know what happened, to no secret.” Damian said he thought she was ready to tell him what had transpired between her and Justin the day before.Layla was shocked but at the same time relieved. At least neither Justin nor Kendra said a word to Damian yet, maybe this was the best time to tell him everything.However, she did not know what video Damian was talking about, so she kept her request aside and asked him, “ What video are you talking about?” It was Damian’s turn to look confused now. Wait, is she trying to say she has yet to see the video of her and Justin that was posted earlier? Then what's bothering her that is making her carry a long face all along?Maybe because the video was taken down a few minutes later after it was posted that's why she didn't see it. However, he made a mental not
Between Two Hearts Chapter Fifty-Nine- Is It True?
From the way Justin addressed both Damian and Layla so casually at a formal event, everyone discerned that something was amiss.An awkward silence ensues and the atmosphere becomes tense. Justin knew that he got them this time and since Layla refused and could not answer his question, he asked again,“ Did you suddenly lose your tongue?”“ I will not have you speak to my wife in that manner,” Damian addressed Justin coldly. Justin was more confident because he had succeeded in getting everybody's attention. He glared at Damian irrevocably and said,“ I'm sorry for your Damian, you think you've found a treasure, a rare gem.Layla Jones, why don't you tell him that you married him because I told you to? On your wedding day when we sat at that fountain, we had a plan for you to get a divorce after your company had been merged with his and walk away with fifty percent of Damian’s wealth. If I am lying, please, correct me.”Justin echoed to everybody’s hearing.Layla had experienced emb

“ Is everything Justin said true?” Damian asked.He already knew it was true but still wanted to hear it from her.At that moment, Layla felt like she was found guilty by the court of law and was waiting for her judgment. Going numb, she was surprised when his gaze softened and his voice gentler, “ You know that will believe anything you tell me right?”Layla’s heart ached and she couldn't stop the tears from falling down her eyes as she admitted,“ Yes, it's true and I'm sorry”To Damian, it felt like he had just lost a very important asset. The innocence he saw in her was replaced with something he couldn’t explain. His heart aches upon the realization that Justin used Layla to play and yes, he has succeeded. “ How could you do this to me?” Damian asked, pain lacing through his words, his eyes were red and glassy but he’d rather die than shed a tear.With pain still evident in his eyes and voice, he continued, “ How could you do this to me? I asked you why you changed your mind an

“ It's too early to begin to crack such Jokes with me, Damian,” Justin said at the other end of the phone. His head was pounding and his eyes were spinning from a terrible hangover. He couldn't assimilate what Damian was telling him. After having the embarrassment of his life last night at the business dinner, he found himself at the club, drinking more than necessary to soothe the pain his heart felt. “ Stop playing games with me,” Justin added and Damian scoffed. He was still annoyed at Justin.“ Stop pretending,” Damian said coldly, and only then did Justin believe that he was serious. Damian was a principled man and would never joke with such an important thing. “ Damian, did you just say…”“ You heard me, I said what I said.” Damian cut him off and was about to hang up when Justin said,“ You know it won't be nice if you decide to go back on your words right? And you know you have to dance naked at Kendra’s graduation party too?”“ Just do well to come and pick her up from he
Between Two Hearts Chapter Sixty-Two- What Do You Want?
“ I will, thank you,” Layla said to Kendra and hung up. Even though she was worried, she had to obey Layla’s decision not to get involved.Layla changed into a pair of joggers and a mini top after she and Kendra needed the conversation. Looking at her face in the mirror, she was horrified at how terrible she looked because of the tears she had shed. She washed her face and wanted to use makeup to cover her eye bags and the redness but on second thought, she left it, she brushed her hair and went downstairsDamian sat on a stool beside the bar with his phone in his hands, his countenance wasn't any better and Layla frowned when she saw the bottle of alcohol in front of him.When their eyes met, she didn't know if it was her imagination or remorse but desire and want were evident in it, and when she blinked, she was met with a cold expression.Perhaps, the first look was a result of her imagination. Taking a deep breath, she made her way to the bar, picked up the bottle of whiskey in

“ What do you want?” He asked seriously. For the first time since they both saw the breaking for a new day, Layla smiled genuinely and it tickled him so badly that he wanted to pull her into his arms and kiss her,“ I want things to be as they used to be.”Damian sighed and before he could enter a response, her phone rang again, interrupting him and she sighed in frustration.“ You have to pick up his call, I already told him that we are divorced and he could come to pick you up.”The light in Layla’s eye dimed and her face became dull instantly, wasn't he the same person who set rules that no third party should know about their marriage? But now, Justin did and she could not hide her disapproval and asked,“ so,You are so eager to get rid of me?”Damian was slightly remorseful when he saw the disappointed look on her face and said emphatically,“Don't get me wrong, I am just making it easier for you”Layla’s eyes were glassy, realizing that he didn't trust her love for him,“ But

“ My wife?What about her?” Damian asked, this time around he couldn't hide the fear and worry that was all over his face.He was also greatly disturbed. He knew that Justin was already on his way to his house and he was not comfortable with it.Everything in him wanted to pretend so badly that he didn't care and be indifferent toward her but his heart would not allow it.His appetite turned sour and he moved away from the bar, allowing the second maid that came in after Paula to pick up the tray with his leftover food to the kitchen.He pondered whether to tell her the truth about the papers or not, however, he made a mental note to do so after Justin had come and gone but for now, he had to check up on her to ensure that she didn't injure herself with whatever she intended to use the stones for.Reaching the door, he almost bumped into Layla, seeing her stressed-out face, his brow creased,“ Are you alright?” He asked, trying to hide affection from his tone but he failed.

The smile on Patricia’s face faded away instantly, the same as Karen's. “what do you mean Damian?” Karen, his mom asked. breaking the silence. Damian sighed and said, “God-mother, first I don’t want you to think that I am trying to cut you or your son off. You have been nothing but a great mom and aunt to me, but the truth is that your son, who is supposed to be like a brother to me has always been envious of me.” He paused. “That’s right.” Kendra chipped in and her mom gave her a warning look, she quickly muttered “I’m sorry” and Damian continued. “I don’t know if you have ever noticed but Justin always wanted everything I have, down to my woman. I appreciate the fact that he helped Layla to contact me while she was abducted but then, if my memory serves me well, a few months ago Justin conspired with this same lady who tried to cause me pain.

Never for once did Justin ever think that Ava would point a trigger at him let alone pull it. It all happened so fast but thankfully, the cops came in almost immediately but Justin passed out already.Damian on the other hand could not contain his joy when Layla landed safely on the foam that was spread out for her.“don’t worry love, you are safe now.” He whispered in her ears as he pulled her into his arms. Layla on the other hand was already exhausted from constant crying and torture and pleaded with Damian to help save Justin.“I can't believe you’d plead on his behalf, after everything he put you through,” Damian said, slightly annoyed as they stood aside and watched the cops guide Paula into a black van from the car she was in earlier.“Layla was too exhausted to speak but since she had jumped down before Ava shot him, she was still oblivious to the fact that he was shot. Here she was, pleading with Damian to spare Justin’s life again.“He saved my life, Damian.” She muttered am

“What in heaven’s name happened here? Justin!!!” Ava yelled as soon as she saw her so-called bodyguards lying half-conscious on the floor. Meanwhile, as soon as both Justin and Layla heard her voice downstairs, Justin collected the phone quickly tied Layla’s hand, and put her back in the position Ava had left her, pretending as though nothing happened. The next thing they heard was Ava’s voice, she barged into the room, filled with rage but somehow felt a bit relaxed when she saw Layla still in the same position she had left her, “What happened downstairs Justin, did someone break into the house?” she asked, but this time, her voice was a little bit relaxed. Pretending not to know what she was talking about, Justin replied, looking as though he was just as confused as her, ‘What are you talking about, what is going on where?” Frustrated, Ava said, “Help me untie her.” Both Justin and Layla looked surprised. They didn’t know what Ava was up to and also, they hoped that

“I can't explain how relieved I am that this bitch is here now. At least, nobody’s home to boss me around,Paula, can I get a glass of orange juice,Paula, can you please bring my food upstairs I don’t feel like coming downstairs to eat,Paula this…Paula that….Gosh, I get easily irritated being around those people, not to think that I had to put up with their excesses for what??Twenty-five fucking years.” Layla heard Paula and Ava discussing.At first, she could have sworn that the voices only sounded alike but after hearing the details of the conversation, she didn’t need anybody to tell her that she had been living with the devil. Not to think that Damian trusted Paula with his whole life. She has watched both Damian and Kendra treat Paula as a family since she got married to Damian Damian allowed only Paula to have access to their matrimonial bedroom, that’s the level at which he trusts her.“Enjoying your new place of abode?” Ava asked, jerking Layla out of her thoughts.Layla

“ I am sure you are not deaf, I said WHO THE F**K ARE YOU?” Kelvin yelled for the second time but that did not make Paula respond to him either.Damian was still trying to process the whole situation in his mind. Or, was he just assuming? No, Paula watched him grow and she has always treated him like her own son, and he in return, cared for her like his mom. Trust was an understatement to what Damian has for Paula.“Nanny P, that’s what I used to call you remember? I called you by that name because If truly you are the woman who looked after me since I was born till this stage, I want you to look at this boy whom you raised all by yourself and tell me what the f**k is going on here?” Damian said with a cracky voice and Kelvin felt so sorry for him. The last time Damian was this emotional was when he found out about Ava and Justin, since then, he has always tried to maintain his steeze, regardless of the situation.However, Paula still did not say a word, rather she stood there, her
Between Two Hearts Chapter Eighty-One- Who Are You?
“Mr. Wilson, Kelvin’s here,” Paula called, alerting Damian upon Kelvin’s arrival.“Tell him I’m busy and I won’t be attending to anyone,” Damian replied coldly, it’s been twenty-four hours since Layla’s abduction, and Damian has not stepped out of his room nor uttered a word to anyone. Paula has begged him severally to at least drink something but Damian refused and even threatened to take her job away from her if she disturbs him again so Paula gave up.Paula headed back to the sitting room where Kelvin was waiting for Damian, “Kelvin, I’m sorry but he won’t see you and might not be coming downstairs either. Maybe you can check up on him tomorrow, or some other time.” Paula said, dismissing Kelvin. But the fellow refused to leave,“ it’s alright then, I will wait. Besides, it's not like I have anything to do at the moment. If it is going to take Damian a whole week before he comes down here to have a word with me, fine, I will wait.” Kelvin said and made himself more comfortable on t

“You made a pact with the devil, what are you talking about?” Damian asked immediately Kelvin turned the car off. Kelvin’s words still did not make any single sense to him.Kelvin, who knew there was no going back for him here, there’s no way Damian will let this slide without hearing the full story.Kelvin knew there was no way he’d get out of the car without giving Damian a detailed explanation and time was not on their side and Layla’s life was in danger. “A few days ago, Ava came to the office. She told me she wanted to make you pay so dearly for choosing Layla over her. At first, I told her that whatever it was that both of you had was none of my business because whatever the issue was, it was supposed to stay between the both of you.Then she mentioned that Layla was pregnant. Shocked right?” he paused, noticing the amusement on Damian’s face.“I felt the same way when I heard the news from her too, man this girl knows so much and I do not know who is feeding her with all of th

“ What’s wrong sugar, Dr Max did not tell me what?” Damian asked impatiently, different thoughts running through his mind. He could handle a lot now but definitely not negative news about his unborn child Indeed, Layla was good at keeping someone in suspense. “ I mean Dr. Max did not tell you that we are expecting twins, right?” she finally said, happiness all evident on her face. Damian could not express the feeling that overwhelmed him, he could not believe he was not only going to be a father of one but two. This is the best news he has ever received all his life. With teary eyes and short of words, he moved closer to Layla and hugged her tightly. “Thank you, sugar, indeed you are my biggest blessing, thank you for this special gift. I love you” He whispered to her ears. He was so overwhelmed with joy and all he wanted was to experience the warmth he usually felt whenever he was inside her, he wanted her so badly but didn’t how to go about it.
