“ 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.

Damian 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.

    “ 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.

    “ Justin,When Damian got married to me, he stated clearly that as our journey began…” she said and paused, remembering that Damian hadn't kept his word but she however tried to complete it.“ Damian made it clear that everything that happened before the car that took us to our hotel that night drove from the venue became the past,” she added and paused.Justin was confused, since he got to know her, he had never seen her like this and her words were making him uncomfortable. And what has Damian’s promises to her got to do with him?“ I don't get it, why are you telling me this?” He asked, hiding the irritation in his voice.Layla ignored the question and her eyes swiped to the well-arranged decorated stones, the smallest on top and the biggest beneath. “ Take a look at those stones over there,” she continued with a blank and innocent look. Justin was getting impatient, he didn't have time for these jokes, all he wanted was for her to get me to the car so both of them could leave.

    “ If you take a step closer to me I promise you that the next stone will find its way to your chest,” Layla warned, as she bent and picked up the third stone which was bigger than the first and second.Justin felt like he had been duped, she fooled him Into believing that she was waiting for him to come and get her,He was upset and yelled in anger,“ Stop all this nonsense this instant and let's talk.”Layla stiffened and asked calmly,“ What's the name of your car?”Justin was confused by her strange question but responded anyway,“ It's a Rolls Royce.”Layla wasn't a fan of cars so it was not surprising to him. Her next question got him more confused,“ Nice. So tell me, how much does it cost?”Justin sighed but answered anyway, “It cost half a million.”He had no idea where all these were going.The next moment, Layla said,“ You are rich.”“ Yes. The main reason why you should come with me.” Justin said with excitement. He took a bold step but she retreated, looking at his car ad

    “ What is it that you want to hear?”Damian asked honestly, he was ready to do anything for her.Layla bit her lower lip and said thoughtfully, “I want you to promise me that you will never pull something like this again because I doubt if I will be able to take it.”She paused and continued, “Have you ever felt like your heart was been ripped out of your chest while you are still breathing?

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.

    “ 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.

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.
