Laura's POVIt was Mark! The person standing before us was Mark.Sonia screamed, nearly pushing me aside as she rushed into Mark's arms. Her body shook with sobs as Mark held her tightly, his eyes filled with unshed tears as he comforted her.Nicholas and I exchanged glances. I had countless questions swirling in my mind. How did they manage to find Mark? Where did they find him?Sonia looked up at Mark, echoing the questions that plagued my thoughts. "What happened to you, babe? Who kidnapped you? Did they hurt you?" She frantically examined his body, noticing a few scars. "Where...?""Let him freshen up and eat first. There will be plenty of time for him to tell his story," Nicholas interjected, interrupting her stream of questions."That's true, Sonia. He needs to rest," I added, recognizing the shock that left Mark speechless. He hugged Sonia once more before Nicholas guided him away to freshen up."I told you they would find him. I had faith in Nicholas," I exclaimed with excitem

Laura's POVNicholas stormed out in anger, heading towards the kitchen, and I followed suit. As soon as he reached the kitchen, he slammed his hand on the table, startling me and making it evident that he was fuming."Calm down, Nicholas," I said, attempting to comfort him. "You don't have to get all worked up about this," I continued as I approached him. However, he walked towards the fridge, seemingly trying to avoid me, and poured himself a glass of water. He downed it in one gulp and poured himself another.Then he looked at me and said, "I'm not mad at Mark. I'm just angry about everything that has happened." His gaze pierced through me. "When I finally get my hands on that bastard, he will pay dearly with his life." With that, he returned to the lounge where Sonia and Mark were still seated."What happened after they kidnapped you?" he inquired."They took me deep into the bush with their vehicle. They didn't blindfold me because they were certain they would kill me," Mark sighe

Nicholas's POVI approached her bed, and she was fast asleep. I wanted to wake her up, I needed to wake her up and make love to her. My attraction towards her at that moment was overwhelming. She looked incredibly beautiful even while asleep. "My God, Nicholas, what are you doing? How have you reduced yourself to this?What will you do if you wake her up? Tell her you want to sleep with her?" I remembered her words from the last time after we had made passionate love. "Let's forget about last night and pretend it never happened." Those were her exact words. "Get a hold of yourself, dammit!" My inner thoughts echoed in my ears. I immediately left the room, quietly shutting the door behind me so as not to disturb her slumber.As soon as I stepped outside her room and walked towards the hallway, I noticed Mark gently closing his own door. I wondered why he was outside. He turned around, scanning the surroundings as if making sure no one was around. He startled when he saw me, freezing in

Laura's POV"Who is it?" I inquired, standing up to check who was at the door.As soon as I opened it, I saw Mark. There was a flicker of anger in his eyes that frightened me. It was clear he was still upset with me for being involved in his kidnapping. I felt sorry for him; anyone in his position would have felt the same way. He glanced inside and noticed Sonia."There you are," he said, his demeanor suddenly changing as he walked towards Sonia, who was sprawled on the bed.She smiled brightly as he approached and embraced her, planting a kiss on her lips."Oh, get a room," I remarked as I passed by them, causing Sonia to burst into loud giggles."Don't worry, you'll also get a chance to experience love from Nicholas," Sonia said, sitting on the bed with her hand and body intertwined with Mark's."Nicholas?" Mark questioned, raising his eyebrows."Oh, yes, babe. Laura has a thing for Nicholas," Sonia revealed. I was furious but decided not to let it show. How could she disclose that

Nicholas's POVI was at my office in Berkshire Savannah Company when my phone rang. I checked to see who it was, and it was Josiah. What could he possibly have to say again? Ever since I returned, I've been receiving endless calls from him concerning the delivery of the cocaine to Angelo. Now that it has finally been delivered, what could be the problem?"Yes, Josiah, what's the problem?" I said as I answered the call."Good af... afternoon, boss," he said, his voice unsteady. I instantly knew there was trouble."What is it, Josiah?" I commanded."We have lost one of our men in the...""What?" I interjected. "What do you mean by that? Didn't you say they were all recuperating well?" I stood up, fuming."They were all fine, boss, but one suddenly developed complications after the surgery. He died a few hours ago." I paced around with my hand on my head. I was sick and tired. This wasn't how I had expected things to turn out."Go to his family and tender our heartfelt condolences and ma

"I am Nicholas Brandson, although I am sure you already know that", he took a glass of water before continuing, "Obviously that serial killer is working for someone, you said they were four of them, right?",Mark nodded."If they track Laura to this place and find out it is my secret hideout, they would come in their numbers, I cant afford to go to war just yet…", he looked at me, "until we know who we are dealing with"."I see", Mark uttered. It made sense to him now. "Since you all don't have phones, I'ld send someone to get you three new protected phones tomorrow", he said."That way we would be sure you won't be tracked". I was happy to hear that, at least, I won't be very lonely again. I needed to call my mum and let her know I am fine. I also needed to discuss some things with my manager, he must be really worried of my absence."Thank you", I said as Mark and Sonia echoed their thanks as well.He just nodded and we all ate on in silence. For some reason, Mark and Sonia finished

Laura's POVI threw my phone onto the bed, beside myself with fear. Who could it be? How did this person get my new number?I needed to tell Nicholas, I needed to inform them all about what had just happened. I rushed out of my room and went straight to Sonia's room, banging on the door."Sonia, Mark, wake up!" I shouted.I could hear noises inside, then footsteps approached the door. As soon as it opened, Mark stood there, looking at me in surprise.I pushed past him and entered the room."What's the problem, Laura?" Sonia asked, panic in her voice."I don't know how he got my number," I paced around the room, not knowing what to do. I couldn't sit, I was too afraid to do so."Who are you talking about?" Sonia asked."The serial killer, Sonia. The serial killer," Sonia jumped up from the bed."What did you just say?" she asked, staring at me in disbelief.Mark chuckled, "It's too early for this sort of joke, Laura."I looked at him, my eyes wide. "You think I'm joking? How can I be j

Laura's POV:I awakened and rubbed my eyes, realizing it was already morning based on the rays of light streaming through the window. I turned and noticed Nicholas wasn't beside me. Where could he have gone? That was my initial thought until I heard the sound of water running in the bathroom."Oh, he must be taking a bath," I mused, sinking back into bed with my head on the pillow. Memories of everything that transpired yesterday flooded my mind. I pondered how I would have slept without Nicholas by my side. I likely would have been so scared that I would have stayed up all night or even joined Sonia and Mark in their room.The thought of that made me chuckle. Sonia would probably never allow it. She would prefer sleeping with me rather than having me share a room with her man. She was fiercely protective of him, and I understood why. It's challenging to trust a man who possesses such prowess in bed. Many women would feel insecure if they had such a partner.Nicholas walked in just th

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
Bound By Passion Chapter 123
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
Bound By Passion Chapter 122
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
