LAURA'S POV.I wasn't sure what it was, but I knew I sensed tension between both brothers or cousins; I wasn't sure how to describe them.“You look surprised,” Ricky asked, adding to the statement,I stared blankly at him; I couldld see i there were no lies in his words; I didn't expect him to have gone to jail, and not twice to cap it all; fucking twice, how on earth was that even possible?.” I asked no one but myself as I averted my gaze back to my plate.But no matter how hard I tried, I still met their sister's terrible gaze. She had drawn the conclusion that I was a bad omen, and I wasn't interested in making her think otherwise.“I'm a little surprised; you don't look anything like a...” I trailed off at the ends of my words again, knowing Bianca would only try to prove a point at the ends of my words again. Although it did seem a whole lot better knowing at least I had a thing or two to fall back into, it was making more sense than I had even intended it to.“a criminal? Yes, I
laura'S POV.“fine then, it's quite simple, the truth to the whole thing, I'll tell your tonight but you must promise me, anything we say tonight, lies between you and I, I really don't want anyone else hearing about crap and standing up to me on the issue, chris had not been the type of boy to keep much of his childhood out he preferred when things are discreet.” Ricky explained and I nodded with a smile, being more attentive than I had ever been in most of my classes apart, I always knew something was off and the little talk Jeffereson had passed as well they all got me wondering what it was that was about the stone cold, obsessive and controlling boss of mine which I just could not figure out no matter what.“like I said, Bianca and chris, they weren't on best terms, matter of fact they never are, but Bianca grew to like chris we were all brother's and sister, but put the label on it, we were not blood related, just a bunch of paper works and the likes, never really occurred muc
Sebastian POV.I realized she had her eyes pinned on me all through the drive and even now we highlighted from the car she still had lots going through her head,“stop looking at me that way, it makes me uncomfortable.” I admitted to her, although I sounded gruff but I knew she wanted things professional, and I needed to keep them that way for as long as she wanted.“I'm worried, I didn't mean to stare, it's just that..” she trailed off at the end of her words, still staring at me, and then a smile curved up on her lips sending an uneasy feeling down to the pit of my belly.“Just what have you been sharing with ricky? What the hell had the both of you been up discussing all along?.” I ask again, trying hard to keep my sense intact and my lips sealed.“nothing, just they… are we off work hours now?.” she asked hastily, batting her eyes at me.“It's nine minutes past eleven Laura , yes we are off work hours.” I respond to her words with a little bit of teasing.“Thank goodness.” she mu
Laura'S POV.I woke up rather early with a bright smile, the whole activities today, meetings all short. I planned out my schedule perfectly well, although it had taken a while for Matt to respond to his mails but he helped me through them and made things even easier for me.“Good morning miss Laura, you seem to be doing good today.” Sebastain greeted me with a smile as I walked on behind him. I had matched the jacket we bought along with the heel and bag to the new leather high waist pants and a crop single to match.“What's for breakfast?” he asked and I fiddled a little. He was right. I had been way too busy adding up a few things they didn't matter to have actually thought for a brief moment of what he was to eat.“I'm sorry, I didn't quite think of that… we could drop but… I'll get you a sandwich or something, I'll place an order.” I responded, breaking off at most ends of my words while he glanced slowly in my direction.“I'm sorry, I swear, I planned everything out, I woke up
sebastian POV.“Is this meant to be some sort of joke?.” she asked, drawing a loud ain't glancing down in my direction.“Are you coming or not?.” I asked before sticking to my feet, not bothering to spare her a single glance, I was way more determined than anything else not to be bothered by whatever show it was that she had her mind all cooped up in.“Are we off working hours?.” she asked again, I didn't give a response while I tucked in the seat belt.“Can you for once have your lips sealed, all you've done today is a high amount of nothingness, so just relax and enjoy the view, just think of this as a means of me paying back for everything it is that you have done yesterday” I added in faintly, the fear and anxiousness in me piling up at intervals, I shook slowly, biting down on my lips seeing the unsettling look on her face.She pressed her lips into a thin line and I could just sense how much it was that she had gotten hurt by my words.“I'm sorry,” she whispered beneath her brea
Sebastian’s POV. She was way too much of a beauty; I could barely contain the insane excitement I felt when staring at her, but I knew much better than making a fool of myself so easily. I swallowed hard not to match my gaze with her, afraid that I might run us into more trouble. I needed to be focused on the plan, and he took the bait, just as I had expected. I had a dinner planned out for us all day. I spent way too much energy and invested every bit of time and attention I could to make everything perfect, but I knew things weren't going to end well. Matt had explained to me that he had made a reservation there as well; I didn't need to think much about the whole situation anymore. All I needed to do was play pretend. I already knew it had her cheating boyfriend and her lying, a backstabbing friend playing out on a lovely date. At first, I had been pissed off hearing those words from Matt. I almost acted on impulse, just how low her boyfriend was willing to go; he wasn't bothe
Laura’s POV.I knew we were rich, but a lot I had not seen coming, these were an actual huge turn up in my life, no one had ever treated me so nice or gotten me actual gifts.I knew I promised myself not to get winded up in my emotions. I needed myself to be loyal to Harry, but there was the man who stood before me; he knew just the right way to have a lady swept over her feet. How was it even possible? He knew the right ways to act and the right moments to act.Maybe I complained about his unnecessary protections, maybe I voiced out a thing or two about him being controlling, but deep within me, I knew my canal desires were satisfied with all of those; he was a fucking green flag.Here I was, not trying anything with him; I had a man, and he was lucky I loved him.Besides, it worked well for me as well; I had high morals; if not, I would have duck-jumped into bed with him that first night in the kitchen, but I dared not make a fool of myself; it would only render me weak, a little we
Laura’s POV. It dawned on me at once; my legs rooted to a spot. I swallowed hard while staring at both of them. “Let's go, Sebastian," I ordered bluntly, not minding my speech or manners; we could handle them later, but tonight I was sure, bitter and full of hate. “I think he should...” “I said let's go! Enough thinking!” I ordered once more, I watched them both, none of them daring to say a thing, they wanted to, but I couldn't care less, I wouldn't become a public stunt for newsmakers to use, I needed my dignity kept intact, my legs moved up the floors closer towards the garage, and I had fought every urge in me to speak. I couldn't anymore; it had been driving me crazy. I swallowed hard, taking in a deep breath, and I could handle it. I pulled at the handle of the car continuously, jerking it forward and then backward, cold chills ran down my skin,kicking at the doors furiously, it wasn't working. “Hey, calm down, Laura relax..'' Sebastian called out to me in a soothing vo
Sebastian 'S POV.“Are you happy with me, laura ?" I asked out of the blue as soon as she walked out if the bathroom was dabbing her hair with a towel. She tilted her head slowly, her eyes pinned in my direction, probably losing sight of words.“What... what do you mean?” She asked again while pulling closer to me. Her head rested against my chest while a smile pushed up to her lips.“The wedding, being my bride staying with me, are you happy about all of this or are you staying with me because of the baby?” I asked her, putting out my worry and, truth be told, signing the marriage papers with her as we stood on the podium. I was worked up, and hearing the judge call us husband and wife had worried me a whole lot, but I knew it was probably tension of being! arrived again after so many years.Yet there she was, beaming with smiles all through, not for a bit showing any form of panic.I didn't want to let my words or thoughts get to the best of me, and I could not help but unwind my he
CatherineI couldn't understand where the problem came from! The week ran by real fast for Chris and me, but I realized two nights ago he had gotten a call from Matt, which made him really screwed up.Matt and I weren't on the worst ends ever, truth be told, although it did bother me seeing how things wound up. I didn't like his gloomy vibe.I dabbed my hair with a towel continuously before getting closer to him. For a kiss, he pulled away from a frown on his face.“Not now, Catherine ." He uttered a stoic expression. On his face, so far he wanted to have fun. I shrugged my shoulders before pulling myself into my flip-flops.“Suit yourself.” I responded before dragging my feet grudgingly towards the waiting room.I picked up my phone and surfed through my messages terribly bored.Glancing behind me carefully, sure that Chris ’ was not around, I surfed deeper into my phone, going through my private chats on Snapchat.Everyone else had texted me, some bunch of DMS, some other thirst
Catherine 's point of viewA yawn eased through my lips while I rolled through to the other end of the bed. My hands tapped slowly against the body, just like they had usually done.But there was nothing there.I parted my eyes and brows hastily, and the first thing my eyes landed on was the huge mirror.Right across the room, my very own reflection mocks me. I looked like a mess.A sigh eased through my lips while I pushed further away from the bed ; I wasn't getting it. What could possibly be wrong such as that Henry didn't sleep home the previous night.On my first attempt at trying to collect the memories of the previous occurrences, but then I felt an insane urge to retch, I picked my head towards. While I spilled out all the contents in my belly, retching terribly, I turned on the tap in the sink to have my face wiped. And then it dawned on me...“Matt!” I blurted out all at once, darted towards the door, and I dashed out of the room. My eyes scanned through the environme
Catherine 's POV.I turned on the tap in the sink, sure to have satisfying noises like puking and gagging coming out loud from the bathroom. A sly smile pushed up my lips while I washed off my face and began to pant hard and breath heavily. I drew closer towards him right outside the door with shaky feet.“Can you please help me get a room? I don't feel too good. I need to rest.” I muttered beneath my breath; my voice was shaky and my tone was thinning out at the end, all in an attempt to convince him.He looked just like he had bought my entire act, judging from the worried look in his eyes.“How about I drive you home instead? You can pick up the car later tomorrow. He offered just like I expected, but I wasn't stupid enough when planning ahead to use the rain as some dumb excuse.“Henry , he's out. He went off. I don't know why , who, or where he went off to or is off to see and staying home alone won't do me any good; perhaps you could wait for a few minutes; when as soon as the
CLAIRE's POV.A knock settled on my door and a frown was quick to etch onto my face while I pondered hard and fast about who it could be, I had been tucked up in the fucking room doing nothing at all along, every damn day it was the same.The knock became persistent, and I pushed my feet reluctantly towards the dash cam. I had not been expecting anyone's texts or calls; or bits so far, I wasn't involved in the neighborhood or building as a whole; it was something that anyone had to do or say but not from my end. Besides, I had no friends, and no one knew I moved here except……“Henry ?” I asked while I pushed open the door.. He seemed to be pissed and restless while he pushed himself right through my door before settling into the couch.He had said nothing while I bolted the door locked, my eyes scanning across the room, which was in a terrible state.. I had not expected any visitor to come in by any means. I was not informed.“You didn't call..” I stuttered, seemingly surprised..
Laura's pov.I could see him avert his gaze away from mine as soon as our eyes locked, for some reason an unsettling feeling got stuck at the pit of my belly and it made me wonder how and why I was stuck up on things like this. Was he still being a cry baby because I solely refused to eat with him in public at the company?.“Good morning sebastian .” I greeted as soon as he made way towards the elevator and I followed behind him, he had said nothing even when I smiled from ear to ear,I knew I should not have requested things that made him feel petty and yes, I was terrible at explaining feelings, I could have just told him I was never good with taking things from people without doing anything for them in return, but then again, I should never run my opinions against anyone else.I swallowed hard, wallowed in my own self pity as I recalled how hard it was for me to sleep last night, been in a strange house really did take it's roll on me, Emily and I had barely gotten chance to talk,
laura s point of viewI shifted in my seat, my eyes pinned against the file placed in front of me, while I stuck up the ends of the pen into my teeth. I had been pondering the whole day on how to thank Sebastian ; he had been nice enough, and I had sent him off in a rather hasty manner the previous day, which probably registered me as nothing better than a weirdo to the public as a whole, although I knew I needed to make certain amendments.“laura ?.” a voice called, drawing me out of whatever fancy land I had been drawn into.“Yes, how may I help you, please?. '' he asked with a smile settled on my face as I responded to the young man who stood before me. He worked with Sebastian , so I knew almost immediately that it was related to him already.“Mr. Sebastian had asked for you, so I think it's in your best interest that you check with him right now; it seemed urgent.” He added at the end of his words and turned down his feet even before I got a chance to respond.I stood to my fee
laura 's point of view It's been four weeks already, Four weeks after Sebastian had asked me out , four weeks of pure Bliss and happiness he loved me just as much as I loved him. We both had no intention of putting a leash on our emotions. “What do you think?.” I asked and swirled right in front of him, he looked rather exhausted but I wasn't done. “this is the one, it looks perfect I mean, it's the best it brings out your eyes and all.” he complemented with a smile, I turned my gaze from the mirror and glanced at him, slowly I approached him. “My eyes are blue, this dress is green, it does not bring out my eye color Sebastian , I told you to pay more attention to the color stripes, the design of the folds and curves of the dress.” I complained. A giggle came on from the other end, I glanced up and several workers scurried away in haste as they realized I caught them off guard. “Are we not done yet?.” Sebastian asked lazily but I rolled my eyes in my head , drew cl
“Get away from me, you creep!” Emily screamed as soon as she pushed her eyes open. A sudden heavy migraine attacked her as soon as she had spoken, and just then did she realize how much alcohol she had drank the previous night. Dustin, on the other hand, split his eyes slowly, rubbing slowly on his orbs, trying to recall the compelling situation he found himself in. He recalled drinking a little the previous night, and then the new cycle followed up; they had a few more drinks with laura , yet as soon as laura made her way out of the house, she realized what a great deal of fun they were having and then drank some more. Then, after three asn, he had not stopped. He won't necessarily be expected in the office. Although he knows things might get awkward between him and laura , which is why he lied about having a thing or two to do, I was hoping that eventually, if she came to push, the entire thing would be off their shoulders. He took a quick glance around, his mind laced wi
