CHAPTER 111Laura's nose twitched in irritation as the words settled in her ears and she flexed her muscles to suppress it. Rian smiled at her again and reached for her hand, having sensed the unwelcoming demeanor. "It's not something much honey," he said softly. "I just really need it and there's no one else I can turn to" He raised his hand to her face and tilted her chin to look at him. His eyes were glowing as she stared deeper into them, Laura's resolve began to weaken. An all too familiar feeling creeping into her chest. "What do you want?" She said in resignation. "what do you want from me this time?" "It's nothing much babe," he tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ears as he slowly pinned her to the wall. "I just need some money" She rolled her eyes irritation. "As always." "It's not what you think babe," he said in defence, *"it's just that.." "How much do you need!""Oh babe I know you're..." "How much do you want me to give you Rian," she cut in again."Okay I
Chapter 112Chris quietly snuck out of the pub after listening to the conversation between Rian and his paramour. He needed to let Laura know what kind of man Rian was. As he got into his car, he turned in the direction of Laura's house, hoping he would meet her at home. As he drove, he wondered if Laura was going to believe him or not. But he was determined that whether she did or not, he will still going to let her know the truth. A few minutes later, he got to the house, parked the car and got out. He looked towards the building, took a deep breath before approaching it. He walked into the house and made his way straight to Laura's room. When he got to her door, he raised his fist to knock in the door but stopped immediately he had Laura speaking. It seemed like the conversation was over the phone. "Send me some money from the company's wallet," she had said. "How much exactly would you like me to send to you, Ma'am," her assistant said over the phone although Christopher did n
CHAPTER 113She walked out under the heavy downpour, she was confused as she was drenched by the rain, her heart beating faster each time still trying to figure out what was happening at the moment.She didn't know what to do at that moment, if she should just go back home and just forget that' he had fucking lied.Again, all that was playing through her mind was what she had said.Without the fact that her heart was thudding heavily,all wouldn't have been quiet—As she continues walking, the entire situation sends a thrill throughout her body as she was unaware of the swerving effect that filled the room, causing goosebumps to pebble on her pale flesh.“Get it together,” she tells herself. By now she was at the apartment, she is unsettled at the moment as she takes in the interior of the building, to her it wasn't the way it should be, it appeared to be much more less sophisticated than she had always seen it.As a matter of fact it appears in a way that seems blurred.She was
CHAPTER 114Like he had no choice, or rather like a lost puppy seeking its path Christian walked with her outside, it was the most absurd moment for him still almost as though he was compelled.Perhaps he was compelled by the woman's remarkable beauty, the moment her gaze came into contact with his, she could feel it too in her soul as her stomach erupted with butterflies from Just standing in front of him.It wasn't the first timethey had been together for a while, yet she had always felt the same way.A crazy heart, would pulses, dilated pupils — she could feel it all at once as she was almost like a who was infatuated with something so precious despite knowing it wouldn't be hers fully.she felt that way, but as it was at that moment she ignored the ridiculous feeling.Under the shimmering sun the two sat , smokin. Each could feel that warmth rising from deep within them before radiating through the entire room again.“Are you sure the twins are fine?" I asked.He sat still for
ÇHAPTER 115Etched into the dark air, his gasp filled the environs of the garden lid enough that the two adults's kisses turned to the direction.He stood right there glued to a spot, she could hear every raging heart beat, her soul raced as there in the path stood Rian, his silhouette shrouded by the rays casting a shadow over Theo figures.She stared at what had broken earlier enough to cause that noise, In a distance an agitated dog barked, or was it a coyote?At that moment, Laura, whose heart was Still pounding restlessly, couldn't say anything, she sat there glued to the one spot she had been filled with uncertainty.What was the worst that could happen… Her eyes dilated stared blankly at the man.“I can explain." She muttered.Not that she had any need to but seeing him that way made her guilty, it was like an arrow flew right through her heart piercing a vein.She could feel the toxicity of that moment flow with her blood stream as it was blurry all of a sudden.“You know, I
116Alternating looks between Christian and Rian, Damien didn't make an immediate move.“I'm not done yet.” Christian suddenly yelled, grabbing the cuff of Rian's shirt. Pulling him to himself, he began to rough handle him while yelling curse words at him.Rian, not wanting to be the weaker one, grabbed the cuff of his shirt too, reigniting the fight that was paused when Damien arrived earlier. Laura, who was glad that Damien's presence was going to put an end to their fight, quickly walked to him and then tugged his arm, “Are you going to stand here and watch them tear themselves apart? You have to do something.” She yelled. Nodding, Damien replied, “Yeah, you're right.” Before he could even think of taking a step towards them, the fighting duos turned in his direction at once and with the glare they sent his way, it was enough to make him remain rooted in the spot. “This is going to be harder than I thought?” He muttered. This time around, he didn't mind them, he lunged into the
CHAPTER 117At first, Laura did not hear the phone ring. The noises the kids were making as she got them ready for school was so deafening that she could not hear her thoughts. Her mind was on the incident that had happened between Christian and Rian only a few hours before. It was an episode in her life that she certainly did not want it to repeat anytime soon. “Stop it,” she yelled at one of the kids who was for a reason that was known to only him, jumping on top of the bed instead of allowing her button up his school shirt. The little boy stopped for a moment, looked at her and then continued to jump on the bed. It was very obvious to her that the only thing he wanted right now was to frustrate the hell out of her. She sighed heavily and rubbed her forehead as she tried to calm herself down.Kids were little devils, she thought. Whoever called them innocent little angels must not have given birth to a kid ever. Unlessx her own kids were a special breed. If that was the case, she
CHAPTER 118Laura arrived at the hospital in a hurry as soon as she got the news about what happened to Christian and the accident. She tried to stop herself from panicking as she made her way into the waiting room. A lot of patients were around the room taking walks and smiling so she didn't want to startle them but at the same time, she couldn't hide the fear that was boldly written all over her body. Her hands were shaking badly as she bit her lower lip hard enough to draw blood. She grabbed a hold of the counter and then stared at the nurse who was attending to a young woman. "Hi, I got a call from this hospital a few minutes ago" She started and then the nurse held up a hand to stop her from talking."Madam you will have to wait till it's your turn," The nurse said without looking at Laura. "I have to wait? How?" Laura asked in anger but the nurse beckoned for her to look around the room at the people seated on the chair. Was she supposed to wait till every single person in t
ÇHAPTER FINALEEveryone was shocked to find out that Alexa was missing. Laura sat on the ground holding the toy that Alexa was using to play before he disappeared. Her mind was blank and she didn't know what to do. Antonia and Christian were also present, both of them just as bothered as Laura was. "Where could he be?" Antonia asked Christian "Maybe we should check the CCTV footage" Christian brought up and immediately Laura got up from the floor. Why didn't she think of checking the CCTV footage since?"Thank God you had it installed," Antonia said as she rushed into the study with Christian and Laura to check the CCTV footage. It took a while before the footage played and Laura kept biting her fingers while counting the time, she was so scared but Antonia's hand kept patting her back as she asked her to calm down. They finally found the clip and watched it so as not to miss any detail. "Rian?" Laura questioned immediately the camera caught him "What did Rian come here for?" Ant
CHAPTER 150At that moment he is certain about just one thing at the back of his mind and that was the fact that all of this was happening just as he had thought it would, immediately he had landed in a jet his Chauffeur was there waiting..It was the longest trip he had gone home, all haunted thoughts had been about the life he was going to have with the woman that was seated closer to where he was at that moment, he had seen the look in her eyes and enjoyed that bit of thrill that it left him with.He turned his ring and funny as it seemed, the wedding he had was more shocking to himself than to his parents when he had sent the pictures.Antonia drove behind in a different car, she was getting 30% of his assets including the home at Columbia in which she chose to settle, all charges being dropped against her and it made her more relaxed knowing that all of the heavy weight was about to come to an end. When they arrived home, it was a heartfelt moment, she was quick to hug Riley who
CHAPTER 149“Oh thank goodness!" Riley grimaced The night he was found just few people got to know about and Riley happened to be just one, the man that had brought him was never disclosed even after Christian had opened his eyes those few minutes before fluttering close muttering to him thank you.For Riley there was just one thing at hand and that was getting ready for the welcome party as usual just few people were aware of the party that would have de cremes of the society.For her she was disturbed about something different at that moment, she was disturbed by the matter of the heart at this period.

CHAPTER 148He blinked his eyes and opened, he was alive which at that minute was a very good thing, he could remember everything now as it appeared that all that was needed was for him to get a blow to the head.There was only one person in his mind at that moment and it was the one who had just hit Rian.At Moment he tried to move and found out he was restrained, he tried to think about how it had happened again, he had barely made his way in when he came across the fucking man, just when he thought all was said and done he got that devastating blow to head and the rest now was history, he was trying his best to think through the situation but still it was all confusing to him“Help!" He called out but his voice stretched to the distances giving nothing.“No one would hear you." His voice was familiar and so when he least expected it , he had looked up to find Rian.“Why … Why did you do this.” Christian cried out.Rian laughter filled the room, “Remember when I said the last time w
CHAPTER 147“Laura."She called out her name again just so she'd be certain this was not a dream sort of at that moment she would take anything, she would rather just disappear into the ground but instead she was right here, she was right here doing nothing than looking straight into the eye of the Woman she had betrayed her trust.“I am sorry —"“We need to talk." Laura muttered*****Laura had spent the longest time thinking of the right words to say to her about the entire situation but as it seemed it was turning out to be the hardest thing she would have to do at that moment.Most definitely she was still right there , with Antonia after all the madness between them and she couldn't be more happier.Now they walked across the lawn and ensured they were Actually were alone, prior to this moment she had thoughts about now she's handle this aspect of seeing Antonia she hadn't expected that she'd still be this be calm but it was exactly what she had done, she was calm taking in every
CHAPTER 146He feels like his mind would be torn apart that moment if he continued running, yet he didn't stop not because he didn't want to but there was a deeper force pushing him to just keep on going..He feels his heart threatening to fall apart but forces one more time to run through the flanks.It had only been two days since she accepted to give him a phone and it was funny it had contacts , was his life that miserable, so imagine the shock of her life when His phone beeps. He stops and picks up his phone to see he got a text. An unusual text. He reads it once and then again. The more he reads it, the more it sounds like a trap. It probably is, but then again, he thought he'd try it out.After the sex she still hasn’t apologized or tried to talk to him,He picks up the pace and goes for another lap before he’s done for the day. He wipes his face clean of sweat and heads for home.******He had been surprised to see that she was looking at him, but he' was feeling unsettled s
CHAPTER 145Antonia decided to take a walk and it was a every long one way from everything it had been the third time getting that call that was asking if she was saved, she had done all she could to keep the situation to herself now it is looking like she can't.Surrounded by the quiet stillness of the Vicinity, she sat at the bottom of the bench looking at everything listening to the sound of her own heavy heart beats as she was not sure if to go home or not. Every square inch of her body hurt. She’d completed what seemed to be a run to that place and at the moment she could do anything just to let her take in the eminent moment.It felt like a herculean task by working herself into a standing position, her heart still sank as she rested at the base of a small tree. Now, as she leaned against the trunk, she fought against the waves of thought in her soul looking to consume her , slowly she oddly could feel that blackness that threatened to overtake her. The move had been excruc
CHAPTER 144.IT was all starting to look rather ridiculous at that moment, and that was all Laura was trying to do at that time was to fix this— it had only been days since she had been here and still there was nothing for her to deal with it, she still didn't know how best it was for to deal with the entire situation, at the back of her mind there was still that bit of fact that she had to do something about all of this and that was go one after the other to each of this places to find what's she wanted, it made it harder that she had to fix this. Anger and anxiety felt heavy in hwr chest when whe recalled what she had insinuated about the entire situation, in her mind she felt that she was still to be blamed, whiel Laura hated her , she made it seem as though there was more she had to do.In her mind she felt that all of this was far from the Truth,even at that she still felt hurt by her words the last time they had been there enough that she could feel it weighing him down
CHAPTER 143Soon as the call went through she sighs in relief, it had been over Twenty hours since she had been trying to reach her boss so she could ask about the trip -Reports in the news stated a heavy storm at the gulf and all through that day she had been restless, it was a good thing that had fixed whatever drift she had with Rhys all she thought about was how dinner was going to be.“It is a good thing you are doing well." She spoke immediately she had picked up the phone.Laura mesmerized by everthing had a lot to say and so the call she had thought would last a little while spanned to Minutes.“Have you found anything yet?" Riley questioned.Once again it was the Woman being her kind useful self, though she was so self absorbed with everything happening she was glad that he was reaching out and that in a way, she was trying to figure things out for herself at that moment.All the situation were made difficult by the fact she knew all the details In her hands were scrap.Laur
