Bound By Passion Chapter 50
Laura's POVI glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Sonia, my best friend. It brought a smile to my face as I hadn't spoken to her since yesterday when I told her I would be staying at her apartment in London. She had given me all the necessary information to make my stay comfortable. I picked up the phone, settled myself comfortably on the bed, and answered."Hello, babes, how are you?" I asked."I'm fine, babe. I was just checking to see if you've settled into my apartment already," she said. I could hear her mother's voice in the background, probably nagging her about something. I recalled my own relationship with my mum and how it could be similarly amusing. Sonia mumbled something to her mum and moved away until her mum's voice was no longer audible."Is your mum giving you a hard time?" I inquired."Oh, in so many different ways I can't even start explaining right now, babe," she replied with a hint of annoyance. "Isn't she supposed to be helping me get over the death of my bo

I already had a good guess as to who it would be. Who else but the boss of the house himself? I opened the door and to my surprise, he wasn't the one. A tall, slender, beautiful lady stood before me."Hi, Madam. Mr. Nicholas asked me to check on you," she said."Oh really? Where is he?" I asked."He is downstairs, ma'am, waiting for you," she replied with a smile. Judging from her clothes, I could tell she was one of the housekeepers. She looked so beautiful it made me jealous. Nicholas obviously did this on purpose, hiring these beautiful girls to come work in his mansion."Okay, tell him I'll be with him in a minute." She nodded and left. As soon as I shut the door, I went straight to the beautifully furnished cushion in my room and sat down. I had wanted to go downstairs before the housekeeper came, but now I would wait for an extra ten minutes before going down. I didn't want Nicholas thinking I came as soon as he called. Petty, right? Yeah, but I don't mind.After I was sure ten

Laura's POV: "I think you misunderstood me even before I had been given the chance, Laura," he said calmly. "I thought you…" "Well, you thought wrong," he interjected firmly. "How would you even think I would refuse Sonia, your friend, from coming over?" He scoffed and said, "It appears that after the weeks we have spent together, you still know nothing about me." He threw his hands in the air in disbelief. I wondered why he was making a fuss all because of a statement I made. I didn't know anything about him? Is he kidding me right now? Of course, I know a lot of things about him, especially how he loved fucking different women without giving a hoot what any of them thinks. I also happen to know how risky his world is. The world of the mafians, filled with wars and blood spillage. One could literally be alive today and dead tomorrow in his world. Human life is not regarded at all. The taking of too many hard drugs has hardened their minds, making them see humans as animals. I re

Nicholas POVI entered my room feeling incredibly frustrated and angry. Why did Laura have to say what she said? After everything I have done for her, how could she insinuate that I didn't want Sonia, her friend, to come over? Is that how petty she really thought I was? A whole me, Nicholas Brandson, with everything I have, bothered by having her friend spend time with her?Women! So typical of them. You do everything you can to please them, and they take you for granted whenever they want.Despite still being hungry, I left the dining table in anger. Argh, Laura! What would I ever do with you? Look how petty you made me act!I took out my phone from my side pocket and dialed Abraham's number. He picked up almost immediately. Somewhat embarrassed about what I was going to ask of him, I cleared my throat."Abraham, I need you to listen carefully," I said."Yes, boss," he said with a hint of mockery in his voice. He usually doesn't call me boss; whenever he did, it was either to tease o

Nicholas's POV:We both looked towards the door simultaneously. I already knew what to expect and who it was, but she didn't.She looked at me, expecting me to ask whoever it was to come in. What I was avoiding was about to unfold right in front of me. This was all her fault; if only she had left when I asked her to instead of barging in the way she did.Before I could stand up to ask whoever brought the food to take it back, Laura was already at the door. She opened it and upon seeing who it was, she looked over at me in surprise."You asked for food?" she asked.I rolled my eyes and lay back on my bed, "Of course, I asked for food. That wouldn't have happened if someone had let me eat in peace," I snapped, realizing as soon as the words left my mouth that I was acting like a 6-year-old, and that was all Laura's doing. She had been making me tap into the younger version of myself trapped somewhere within me."I already apologized about that, and if you were really hungry, you shouldn

Laura's POVHe looked over his shoulder at me and smiled. I greeted him and sat on the low sling beach chair beside him."This view is perfect," I said."It certainly is," he replied. I could feel his eyes on me, making me feel insecure and uneasy. I shielded my eyes with the sunglasses I had brought with me to appear more confident.He looked behind him and snapped his fingers at a heavily built bodyguard. The man approached."Ring the kitchen and tell them to get us some drinks… what would you like?" He asked, looking at me."An orange juice will be fine," I replied.He turned his attention back to the bodyguard, "Tell them to get some orange juice and a bottle of one of my finest red wines.""Okay, boss," he said and left."I didn't think I would look out from the balcony of my room and see you seated here on the beach this morning," I said, looking over at him.His long lashes cast a beautiful shade around his eyes as the corner of his lips curled up in a smile. "I actually love m

Nicholas' POVShe just has a way of getting on my nerves, doesn't she? What was that about? She wanted to smack me on the face? The audacity! How did I get here? I paced around my room, my thoughts raging. I was distracted by a call and pulled out my phone from my pocket to see who it was; it turned out to be Carlos."Where the hell are you?" I vented over the phone, transferring my aggression to him. He was supposed to be back already; what was still keeping him from showing up?"I am about to get on board, boss. I will be back by noon," he said hastily.I rolled my eyes, my anger not dissipating in the slightest. "So why are you calling?""I heard what happened, boss. I wanted to know if there is anything you would want me to do." He wasn't being specific."I don't understand, what did you hear?" I asked frantically, on the verge of losing my patience."I heard one of the shipments was attacked yesterday. Josiah told me when he called, thinking I was with you," he replied calmly."O

Laura's POV:I knew immediately who it was without even glancing back. Who else but the loud and boisterous Nicholas. Abraham looked at him with surprise, "I thought you said you weren't coming down for breakfast?""I have every right to change my mind whenever I want to, don't I?" he quizzed."Of course, you do!" Abraham said, pulling out a chair for him as a smile played at the corner of his lips."Besides," Nicholas continued as he strode to the chair and sat down, "if anyone should have breakfast in their rooms, it sure as hell shouldn't be me; this is my house," he spat, glaring at me with vicious eyes.I remained silent, choosing not to say anything that might further anger him. I needed to apologize to him, though. After all, I was the one who had asked Abraham to call him on the phone as we had unfinished business. Once I was done apologizing, I also intended to tell him about my plans to move back to London.The table was set with a variety of dishes, their pleasant aroma fil

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
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
