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
CHAPTER 119Riley was leaving the kitchen with the cup of coffee in her hand when she heard the knock on the door. A groan escaped her lips and she rolled her eyes, it was probably the mailman or the delivery woman, they would just leave it at her doorstep if she didn't open the door. It took a while to calm Laura down last night after the accident so Riley was exhausted and all she wanted to do now was to drink her hot coffee and then work on the unfinished projects due next week before heading into bed to watch Netflix before sleeping. She sat on the sofa and then opened the book she was reading yesterday while watching Laura's twins when Laura went to the hospital. The hot coffee calmed her nerves and a satisfactory smile found its way to her lips when she heard the knock again. "Go away" She murmured to herself but it only grew louder, It wasn't the mailman or or the early morning milk delivery woman or they would have gotten tired of knocking by now. She got up from the sofa
CHAPTER 120She Woke up and he was right there still sleeping after everything that had happened between them, her phone buzzed and she saw that she had a call from him, In a way she seemed guilty, she had stood him him up last night while still trying to answer the call she had making way to the toilet, another message came in.This time it was from Laura, wasn't it a bit naive she thought while still trying to process everything —It was harder to process the fact that while she had been fucking last night, she was right there with Christian, she stood right there in the middle of her room staring round at the spaces within, it wasn't the first time she founded herself in such situations looking confused, but at that moment,she didn't know what to do or how to react.Well, at the moment her heart or whatever was left in her conscience was echoing heavily within her chest as she stared straight hard at the man before her still laying on the bed before walking away. She didn't know
CHAPTER 121What made the moment darker, the sense of darkness that hovered round the building at that moment or the fact that Laura was there crying.She debated on the thought in her head, as she did, she made way toward the woman -immediately she held her hands out to the woman in an attempt to hold her. “You need to stop feeling this way, what is wrong? “ She questioned. Her questions were still left unanswered by the woman who at that moment looked devastated, she didn't Know how to take in the news or understand why she waa çrying—something about her made her wonder if there was more to the situationIt wasn't the tears that ran down her eyes that made the situation more confusing, the fact that she was sobbing too hard and had not unraveled what was going on.Riley who was standing there was confused herself, it was difficult seeing the woman cry and to make matters more complicated she couldn't tell why as she was just left there, confused. She stared again at her boss
CHAPTER 122She was surprised at first at the fact that she was getting a call, when the caller ID had popped up with Laura name a glee look had creeped over Tonia.At that moment she was filled with uncertainty on if to pick or just let things slide, she was unaware of what to do or if she should just act like she hadn't seen the call.Still there was that bit of conviction in her heart implying that she did pick up her call, a smirk crawled up her face, as she walked back to the two people sitting close to where she was looking up at her.Antonia motioned to them that she was going to take a minute before picking. “Why are you calling, though you had him to yourself. . " She spoke quickly, waking out on the terrace.Images played out again at the back of her mind and this time she couldn't help it , all she did was stand still in silence reminiscing the moment she had walked out. The smile seemed to fade away as she stared up to the sky, shouldn't time heal the deepest wounds… sh
CHAPTER 123She opened her eyes and all she could was hope that all of these would work out just fine, he was still trying to make all the situation better than it seemed, but at that moment it was going to be very difficult for her to understand.In a way her gaze turned to the gray light of the early morning that had begun to make its way through the room.At that moment, she sighed … Antonia was nowhere to be found at that moment and it gave more time to reflect on things.At the Moment her fingers lazily draw circles on the sheet while she watches his still closed eyes, and she sighs against him, content. Sometime in the night she had slipped her hands around him and imagined how they spoon with his arms wrapped tightly around her.It all felt different now and it was difficult for her to understand why she was feeling that way, for all that it was worth she wished to herself that all of these had to be happening fast. Her mind is quiet and she’s at peace but yet without him,
