Bound By Passion Chapter 106
Laura's POVIt had been two months since I left Nicholas and eloped with Fernando. While there was no doubt that Fernando loved me, I couldn't help but grow suspicious of his recent behavior. He started leaving early in the morning and returning late at night.One particular evening, it was already 10pm and there was still no sign of him, I couldn't shake off my suspicions that there was something more his coming home late, so I decided to wait up for him. Instead of remaining in my room, I quietly sneaked into his. I desperately hoped my fears were unfounded, but I needed to know the truth.When he returned that night, he switched on the light in his room. The sight that greeted me left me gasping in shock. His immaculate white shirt was stained with blood, and my heart sank.I questioned him about the bloodstains on his clothes, and he smiled and claimed he had been in a fight where he injured the other person, and the blood was from that individual. He insisted it was an act of sel

Laura's POVI slumped forward and made my way to the door, hesitating momentarily before gently opening it."You're back?" I uttered through the pain."What's the matter, my love?" he inquired, holding me and attempting to straighten me up, but I couldn't comply. Instead, I collapsed to the floor, still clutching my stomach."I don't know what's going on. I've had an upset stomach since morning," I sobbed. I had to make this performance convincing. I couldn't let him suspect any foul play of any kind. He had to believe me, and it would require an impressive act to make that happen.I was grateful that I had shed tears because he always searched for evidence. There was no way he could look into my eyes and not believe that I was deadly serious and in genuine pain."Darling, I'm so sorry. Let me take you to the hospital!" he exclaimed. But no, I didn't want things to escalate that far – no hospitals, I have my reasons."No, sweetheart, I don't need to go to the hospital. I'll recover so

Laura's POVI arrived at the driveway, and the family chauffeur offered to assist me in driving the car. However, I firmly declined and proceeded to the car. I drove it out and exited through the gate. The moment I passed the iron wrought gate, I couldn't contain my joy, and I let out a scream!Was I finally free again? I wasn't even sure of the route to Nicholas' place, so I relied on Google Maps to guide me back to Sicily. I had missed them all so much. Just then, a call came in, and when I checked the caller ID, I realized it was my grandmother. I immediately answered the call."Good morning, Grandma," I murmured, releasing a sigh."How are you, Laura?" Her voice exuded a calm and soothing quality, precisely what I needed at that moment."I'm fine, Grandma. How about you?" I inquired."I'm not doing well. I need you to come back," she replied, her tone carrying a hint of sadness. I would have been quick to panic and ask her what was wrong if I didn't know better.My grandmother had

Nicholas' POVI remained utterly shocked by her presence. The idea of us meeting again like this was beyond anything I could have imagined, even in my wildest dreams. I stood there, gazing at her, completely speechless."Nicholas," she began, her voice carrying a soothing and calming tone."I'm truly sorry for everything that transpired," her voice quivered as she spoke.She was apologizing for everything that had transpired? She had shattered my heart, disappeared for two whole months without a trace, without a care for me or how I was coping without her. What about her friends? Sonia, Abraham, her mom? Did they all mean nothing to her too?I knew I shouldn't let anger consume me, and I should be overjoyed that she was suddenly back. However, in that moment, processing everything and seeing her before me, begging, filled me with anger."Did you ever truly love me?" That's all I could manage to say at that moment. I needed clarity on so many things.She began to speak but faltered, un

Laura's POVI locked eyes with Nicholas. His face bore a somber expression, and he remained silent, meeting my gaze without uttering a word."Did you hear what I just mentioned?" I inquired."Indeed, I heard you," he replied, lowering his gaze momentarily. "You mentioned that Fernando was dispatched to spy on me. I can't say I'm entirely surprised because I've had my suspicions about his hidden agenda.I had hoped against hope that you weren't an unwitting pawn in his deceitful scheme, that his feelings for you were genuine, and he wouldn't harm you until I could locate you."His demeanor softened, and a profound sense of relief washed over me. It was heartwarming to witness his enduring care and affection, even during my absence."It's truly comforting to hear you express that," I replied, my voice tinged with shyness.He gently cradled my face with his powerful hands. "It pains me to observe that you still doubt how deeply I love you, the lengths I'm willing to go to protect you," h

Laura's POVOne thing I knew for sure was that moving forward, I had to do better and stop hurting the people I love with my reckless actions.I rose from the bed, spotting my clothes scattered across the room, remnants of our passionate night together as we tore our clothes off each other. Oh, how wonderful it had been. I couldn't help but giggle.Just then, Nicholas emerged from the bathroom, towel-drying his hair. "Heading out already?" he inquired."Yeah, I have some things to take care of today as well.""I must warn you before you head out," he said, a hint of amusement in his tone. "There are two angry individuals waiting outside to confront you. I ran into them on my way down to get your food. They asked whose food it was, and I had to brief them on what happened and, of course, apologize."I swallowed hard. I hadn't seen either of them yesterday. Luckily, when I had returned, neither Sonia nor Abraham were around to spot me. Sonia wasn't at home, and Abraham must have been bu

Laura's POVWitnessing Laura's tears shattered my heart. Anyone responsible for causing her pain would face my wrath. Our wedding was just a few weeks away, and I was determined to expedite the ceremony.Delaying was out of the question. I escorted her downstairs and settled her on the lounge couch, instructing her to wait for me."Why should I stay here, Nicholas? Where are you going?" she inquired as I turned to depart. I halted and pivoted to face her. "Please, remain here and await my return. I'll be back shortly," I replied with a calm assurance.She nodded and scanned the room. I followed suit and noticed a few individuals hastily retreat to different corners, peeking cautiously to observe the unfolding scene. Evidently, they were taken aback by the sudden reappearance of the lady of the house after her mysterious absence.Regardless of their motives, they had their own affairs to attend to. If I caught another person stealing glances in her direction, I would ensure it was the

Lauras' POV Sonia and Abraham gazed at us, clearly taken aback. They were likely pondering the nature of the unexpected revelation. I exchanged a glance with Nicholas, and we shared a smile, savoring the excitement we had stirred within them. "What's the surprise?" Abraham impatiently inquired. "Do you truly wish to discover its essence?" Nicholas teased, raising an eyebrow playfully. "Quite the drama," Sonia scoffed, rolling her eyes, which prompted Nicholas and me to burst into laughter. "Of course, I'm curious," Abraham retorted. We locked eyes and nodded simultaneously before exclaiming, "We're getting married, you guys!" "Ahhhhh!!! Oh my God!!! Are you serious? How? When?" Questions and exclamations filled the air in a whirlwind of curiosity. Their excitement was palpable. Abraham embraced Nicholas with heartfelt enthusiasm, exclaiming, "You're a true man!" He then turned to me, still beaming, and said, "I formally welcome you into the family." Sonia, unable to contain h

Laura's POVHe beamed at the crowd, enthusiastically waving to them. For some inexplicable reason, our eyes locked from a considerable distance. At first, I assumed he hadn't noticed me.However, as I sensed his gaze lingering on my location for an extended moment, I decided to depart. My heart raced as I rose from my spot and maneuvered through the crowd, steering myself toward the exit.How could he possibly be here? Was this merely an eerie coincidence? I pondered intensely about how this situation had unfolded. I had just reached the exterior where the car I arrived in was parked when his haunting voice reverberated behind me."Laura, we need to talk."I found myself frozen, incapable of movement."There's nothing to talk about, Fernando," I snapped irritably. I wasn't pleased with how everything had unraveled. It wasn't entirely his fault; I shared the blame. If I hadn't succumbed to his advances, that heated moment at the club might never have occurred.Who knows, maybe Nicholas

Nicholas' POVThis just can't be happening again. Why has Laura decided to treat me this way? Why has she decided to betray me again? I had a security detail watching her every move. I just couldn't trust her again after what she did. I found out she had gone to a club with Sonia, where she met up with Fernando and engaged in sexual activities with him in a lounge.I was so irritated and furious. I picked up my phone and dialed her number, it rang and she didn't answer. "Damn it! Pick up your call, for God's sake!" I muttered underneath my breath.She didn't pick up. That infuriated me even more. I stood from my chair and rammed my fist into the wall in anger. Laura, how could you do this?I called Carlos, and he picked up almost immediately."We are leaving first thing tomorrow morning.""But boss, the meeting is in two days, we...""I said we are leaving tomorrow morning!""Okay, boss." He knew better than to keep bothering me when I was angry. I left my study and went to my room, k

Laura's POVI rose abruptly from my chair, determined to put an end to this ordeal once and for all. His persistence was becoming infuriating, even after I had left him. Considering how closely he seemed to be monitoring my life, he likely knew by now that I was married to Nicholas. I made my way towards the hallway, where the private lounges were located. These spaces were reserved for the wealthy and influential patrons who preferred seclusion, away from the ordinary crowd in the bar, seeking their comfort in the company of women.I continued past the first lounge and then the second. The door to the second lounge was slightly ajar, revealing a group of men and women inside. Each lounge had its own set of bodyguards stationed outside, presumably for the protection of those within. One of the men from the second lounge noticed me and began to approach."What's a beautiful woman like you doing out here all alone?" he inquired, attempting to grab my arm. Swiftly, I evaded his grasp."

I've been incredibly angered since the events in Paris transpired. How could she? How could she terminate our unborn child? Did she ever truly love me? If she did, she wouldn't have made that choice, considering what we shared.It was deeply disheartening and agonizing to realize that I married someone capable of such an act. Some may argue it's not murder, as the baby wasn't fully formed, but I view it differently. Taking the life of your own child, even in the early stages, feels like a form of murder to me.Every aspect of her actions disgusts me, yet I acknowledge that deep down, I still have feelings for her. Right now, I need time to release my anger fully and eventually find a place in my heart to forgive her.It's a fact that people sometimes make regrettable choices. I had forgiven her for running away with Fernando, and I believe I'll eventually forgive her for terminating my pregnancy, but it will require time—oh, quite a bit of time.Suddenly, there was a knock on my door.

Laura's POVI was dumbfounded, rendered speechless by the abrupt turn of events. He took his briefcase and stormed out, leaving me behind in disbelief. This morning had taken an unexpected and hurtful turn. Instead of the passionate moments I had hoped for, we were now drifting further apart.As tears trickled down my face, I fell to my knees. I listened to the fading sound of cars as they left the house until it was replaced by an eerie silence. Nicholas had left for London, and I felt utterly shattered. My heart was broken into tiny pieces.Crying wouldn't solve the problem. I stood up, wiped my tears, and left his room, closing the door behind me. On my way downstairs, I met Sonia, who was just leaving her room.Upon seeing me, she called out, "Laura!" I walked sluggishly towards her, and she immediately sensed that something was amiss from my gloomy demeanor."What's wrong, Laura?" she asked, her tone filled with concern.I sighed heavily. "He just left for London on a business tr

Laura's POVI paid rapt attention, eager to hear the advice Sonia had to offer. I was desperate for guidance, something that could help mend my fractured relationship with Nicholas.Our current situation was unbearable. We were a married couple, yet we were sleeping in separate bedrooms. This couldn't continue, and I hoped Sonia had a solution to offer.She cleared her throat and began, "Laura, you bruised his ego by your actions. If you had truly loved him at that time, you wouldn't have gone through with the abortion."Her words hit me hard, as they weren't the advice I had hoped for, and her assumption was entirely wrong. I did love Nicholas then; I just believed our relationship was irreparably damaged."What you need to do now is offer a heartfelt apology," she continued, gripping my hand firmly.I pulled my hand away and got up from the chair. "You think I haven't already tried that?" I responded. "I've apologized to him, Sonia. He brushed it off with a simple 'It's fine' and th

Laura's POVThe message left me completely baffled. I had blocked Fernando's number, determined to sever all ties with him after uncovering his hidden secrets. Now, he was texting me from an unfamiliar number? At a time when I was still grappling with the consequences of my actions because of him? I swiftly deleted the message from my phone and tossed it aside.When we arrived at the house, I remained in the car, expecting Nicholas to come around and open the door for me, as he always did. However, this time, he didn't. Instead, he instructed the butler to bring our luggage up and proceeded straight ahead, leaving me to exit the car on my own.Observing the situation, the butler quickly opened the door for me. "Thank you," I muttered as I got out of the car, feeling the ache in my legs from wearing heels. I made my way into the house, and there I saw Nicholas heading upstairs. Abraham stood by the door, wearing a curious expression."What's going on?" Abraham asked, gesturing towards

Laura's POVHis expression appeared bleak, and I could sense his simmering anger. This couldn't be happening to me now. I didn't regret sharing what had happened, but I did regret waiting so long to tell him.What if I had just been honest when I returned? Would things be different? Would he be more receptive to it now than he is?I observed him, sitting on the couch, lost in his thoughts. He tilted his head back, staring at the ceiling.The desire to go to him, console him, and express my apologies consumed me. I stood up and walked over, taking a seat beside him on the couch.He remained unmoved, staying where he was. I considered it a positive sign; if he were angrier, he would have distanced himself further on the chair to convey his anger.I placed my hand on his, and he ran his fingers through his hair. "Oh, okay.""I am so sorry, Nicholas, for what happened. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would definitely do things differently," I sobbed.He looked at me for the firs

Nicholas' POV I had anticipated tears and declarations of her love for her son, expressing her desire not to be separated from him. Had she done that, I would have released her, as I had no intention of separating a mother from her child.Her response was quite the opposite. She readily agreed, solely to save herself, and declared that she wanted nothing to do with the child. She went on to describe him as a burden she had been dealing with for over two years. In fact, I later learned that she had only seen him once or twice a month. She had rented an apartment and left him there under the care of a nanny who took excellent care of him.It was disheartening that my son had to endure such an arrangement at the hands of his mother. I provided her with financial support, and she departed after taking an oath never to appear before me again.Laura and I were determined to raise him with all the love and care he truly deserved.After a memorable wedding day and with everyone settling into
