Bound By Passion Chapter 9
Laura's POVSonia and I strolled towards the car, with Nicholas trailing behind. His presence made me incredibly uneasy, and I couldn't stand it. I was certain he had enjoyed teasing me at the table during breakfast. Bloody bastard! I muttered under my breath as the bodyguard opened the car door for me."What was that?" Nicholas questioned from behind."I wasn't speaking to anyone," I retorted.Sonia glanced at me and chuckled before taking the front seat, leaving Nicholas and me in the back. Can things get any worse? Nicholas appeared puzzled. However, as soon as I glared at him, he wiped the smirk off his face and maintained a serious expression.It was abundantly clear how I felt about him, and his response indicated that he was well aware. I wished I could control my body's reactions better. We departed from the secret hideout in a two-car convoy. Throughout the journey, Nicholas was engaged in business calls. He was undoubtedly a powerful man. The way he issued commands to his su

Laura's POVThe figure stood motionless for a moment before stepping inside and approaching me. In the dimly lit room, I quickly recognized the familiar long strides and physique. It was Nicholas. My heart skipped a beat, and my legs threatened to give way beneath me. I struggled to maintain my balance, weakened by a rush of emotions."What are you doing here at this hour, Laura?" he asked, flipping the light switch to reveal his devilishly handsome face and his thick, wet curls. His shirt clung to his muscular frame, accentuating his allure. I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of desire as I gazed at him.I looked up, realizing he was waiting for my response. What had he asked? My mind went blank in the presence of his captivating presence. I needed to say something, anything."You're soaked through," I managed to say, my voice laced with desire. My eyes locked with his, and his lips parted, conveying a shared longing."Why did you come...?" Before I could finish my senten

Laura's POVI returned to the room, finding it empty as Sonia was in the bathroom, taking her bath. My mind was consumed with thoughts of what had transpired. The night had been an incredibly pleasurable experience, surpassing any I had ever encountered. Even after three rounds of passionate lovemaking, my body still yearned for more. It made me realize how much I truly enjoyed sex.Comparatively, my previous encounters with Santos had never evoked such intense desires. With him, I always longed for a swift conclusion, hoping he would finish quickly so that I could find respite. He cared only for his own pleasure, neglecting any consideration for mine. The mere thought of him now disgusted me.Nicholas, on the other hand, encompassed everything a woman desires. He possessed an innate understanding of where and how to touch a woman, effortlessly eliciting the moans and gasps he desired. It was evident that he had mastered the art of pleasure, a skill likely honed through countless enco

Nicholas' POVI looked in the direction from where the gunshot had originated and spotted one of Angelo's men, standing with his hand in the air. He fired another shot into the air before aiming it at us. My men swiftly drew their guns and aimed them at the guards, forming a protective barrier around me."Enough!" Angelo snapped as he stood up from his seat."Put that gun down, Zack!" he commanded, and I signaled my men to lower their weapons as well. Everyone complied, gradually lowering their guns.Zack approached Angelo and pointed at Josiah, anger evident in his voice."That's him! That's the man who ordered his boys to shoot at us, killing two of our men," he accused. Angelo raised his hand, silencing him. I approached Angelo, and we shook hands before taking our seats."My goods were hijacked en route to me. Do you know anything about that?" he inquired, puffing on his cigar."I only received information about it upon my arrival. I had nothing to do with it," I replied firmly."

Laura's POVI opened the door and my smile quickly turned into a frown as I saw the butler standing there."What's the matter?" I asked, my disappointment evident."Good afternoon, ma'am," he replied, barely containing his laughter. He knew exactly who I had hoped to see when I opened the door, and my change in expression gave it away."We'll be down shortly," I responded, walking toward the bed."That's not why I'm here, ma'am," he replied. He wasn't here to inform us that lunch was served. What other news could he have? Was it about Nicholas? The thought of him instantly brightened my eyes.I waited for him to speak, but he remained silent, grinning as if waiting for me to prompt him."Why are you here?" I finally asked.He cleared his throat before answering. Sonia had come to my side to hear the news, curious as well. He acknowledged her presence and greeted her before continuing."Mr. Nicholas wanted me to tell you that he will be returning this evening with a pleasant surprise."
Bound By Passion Chapter 14
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 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.
Bound By Passion Chapter 120
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
Bound By Passion Chapter 119
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
