Chapter 02
Chapter 02*At The Hospital*They were all seated in a ward, with two boys who look slightly identical and clinged to their mom, Laura. They were the kids, the one that happened a night six years ago.Christian hadn't taken his eyes off them as he stared with a blank expression. No one knew what he was thinking, he was capable of not showing emotions.Someone walking into the ward made them all snap to reality as they looked up to see if it was who they were expecting and yeah, it was him, the doctor who had just taken some blood samples of the twins.Laura only raised her head and Christian only unfolded his arms while Riley and Damien looked ready and impatient."Well, Mr Asher.." He turned to Christian."The test came out positive sir, the blood samples matched with yours, they're your sons" He said and the two managers sighed in relief and non-relief simultaneously (you know who did which right?) Laura silently released a breath she didn't know she had been holding while Christian

Chapter 03From the Desk of Asher's Conglomerate and Gracias ConglomerateThe polished marble floors of the office corridor absorbed the hushed footsteps of employees going about their tasks. The atmosphere within the two towering corporate headquarters, Asher's Conglomerate and Gracias Conglomerate, was charged with a tension that had transcended the confines of business rivalry.In the spacious office of Christian Asher, CEO of Asher's Conglomerate, the grandeur of success mingled with the whispers of secrets held for far too long. He leaned against the mahogany desk, his countenance a curious blend of solemnity and anticipation. On the opposite side of the city, in the lavish office of Laurasia Gracias, CEO of Gracias Conglomerate, a similar tableau unfolded. Laura sat at her desk, her fingers tapping rhythmically against the polished wood, betraying a mixture of nerves and determination.The digital clock on Christian's desk read 11:58 AM. He stared at the screen displaying the li

Chapter 04Meanwhile, in Laura's apartment, a completely different scene was unfolding. Rian stood before Laura, his face displaying a mixture of anger, confusion, and disappointment. Laura tried to calm him down, knowing she had betrayed his trust by not keeping him informed about recent events."Seriously, Laura, I trusted you completely. I gave you everything, all of me. I didn't mind your kids! I was going to make you my wife, but what do I see everywhere? You're getting married?! To Asher's son, your dad's sworn enemy?! Laura, what the hell is going on? What?.." Rian's voice trembled with emotion as tears threatened to escape his eyes.Laura couldn't bear to see him in such distress. She stood immediately, determined to explain everything and make things right with him."Rian... Rian..." She called, reaching out to him."Listen, I would never do that to you, I would never..." Laura tried to reassure him, pulling him closer and trying to meet his gaze to convey her sincerity."Seri

Chapter 05
Chapter 05---Christian glanced at the text message from Laura, his expression unchanging as he dismissed it with a nonchalant shrug. He had no intention of engaging in a conversation about their fabricated marriage, especially during work hours.Meanwhile, Laura, her mind swirling with conflicting emotions, decided to confront Christian in person. She knew her father's manipulative tactics all too well, and she needed to confirm whether the ultimatum he had presented was indeed true.With determination fueling her steps, Laura made her way to Asher's Conglomerate, her heart pounding with uncertainty as she prepared to face Christian.As she entered the grand lobby of the towering building, Laura's gaze swept across the bustling surroundings until it settled on Christian's office door.

Chapter 06"What?" slipped out of Laura's mouth. "What..what do you.. what do you mean?" She asked, moving closer to Barry to be sure she heard what her had had just told her."That marriage.. it's happening for real" Barry repeated. Laura stood still, unable to move from a spot, trying to process and digest what Barry had just said.***After an heated argument with her dad, Laura decided to go out for a drink._____Laura pushed through the throngs of people, the pulsating music reverberating through her body as she entered the dimly lit club. The air was thick with the scent of alcohol and sweat, and the dance floor was a sea of bodies moving in rhythm to the pounding beat.She made her way to the bar, her heart heavy with the weight of her worries. Settling onto a stool, she signaled to the bartender for a drink, needing something to numb the turmoil raging inside her.As she watched the bartender mix her drink, her gaze drifted across the crowded room, taking in the chaotic scene

Chapter 07
Chapter 07"She said someone messaged her that you were drunk and passed out, and sent her a pic and the bar's address" Rian said, making Laura arch her brows. "That doesn't sound like Christian" She thought. How did whoever texted Riley have her contact or who was watching her last night to know when she passed out? Is someone stalking her?It should be Christian right? But how did he get Riley's number or isn't it him?"I think tomorrow should be okay, what do you think?" She was brought back to reality by Rian's faint words."Huh?" She said. "What? Weren't you listening all along?" Rian asked, pushing his left foot forward in a way that moves him closer to her."Um..no, sorry" She apologized, dipping her spoon into the bowl and stirring the soup that was now getting cold.Rian's eyes fall to the bowl, "You should drink up, it's getting cold" He said and she nodded with a hum. "I will""And yeah, I was thinking we could go on a date, either today or tomorrow but I realized tomorrow

Chapter 08
Chapter 08As Laura settled into her seat, she made a conscious effort to avoid any lingering glances in the direction of Christian and his wife. Despite the temptation to steal a glimpse, she kept her gaze fixed firmly on Rian, engaging in light conversation to distract herself from the unease that simmered beneath the surface.Across the room, Christian and Antonia were engrossed in a heartfelt discussion, their voices hushed as they shared intimate moments of connection. Antonia's eyes suddenly flickered towards the opposite side of the room, catching sight of Laura and Rian seated at their table. A soft gasp escaped her lips as recognition dawned, and she turned to Christian with a knowing look."Christian, look who's here," Antonia murmured, her voice filled with excitement as she nudged him gently.Christian glanced in the direction indicated by Antonia, his gaze locking with Laura's for a brief moment before she quickly averted her eyes. He felt a surge of discomfort prickling a

Chapter 09"What?" Laura asked firmly, as if she had been resurrected back into her senses. Antonia noticed the sudden change in her demeanor."Was there anything bad about my question, Laura?" She asked, rather friendly."Miss Gracias, it's Miss Gracias to you Mrs Asher" Laura responded and Antonia smiled. "We'll leave now" Christian said, standing up. "What? Babe.. we.." Antonia said, also standing up and trying to pull her husband back to his seat but he only smiled at her. "We'll get to meet each other properly later, let's not do this here today" He said and she followed after him as he walked away.Laura scoffed angrily as she gulped a whole glass of beer. Rian sighed and also drank a glass."You see what I'm saying, you've not even moved in and see what she just did right now?" He grumbled worriedly."Yeah, prepares me for the worst" Laura grinned.****Asher's Mansion*"Why did you stop..""Don't do that again, Antonia. Not even when she gets here, don't do that" Christian said

Chapter 10
Chapter 10As the reporters neared the end of their news segment, one of them leaned in slightly, a glint of excitement in his eyes. "Hey, did you hear about the big banquet coming up? Apparently, all the CEOs and their spouses are going to be there. It's going to be a who's who of the business world," he remarked, his voice tinged with anticipation.His colleague nodded in agreement, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Yeah, I heard about it. It's going to be quite the event. Do you think Christian Asher and his wife, Laura Gracias, will attend? I really hope they do," he mused, his tone hopeful.The first reporter's expression brightened at the mention of the power couple. "They should," he replied with a nod. "I mean, after everything that's happened, it would be a missed opportunity if they didn't show up together. The media would eat it up."His colleague chuckled, a knowing glint in his eyes. "Oh, you know they would. The Asher-Gracias saga has been the talk of the town
