Marrying My Father's Enemy Chapter 28
CHAPTER 28All that swirling in Riley's head came to an end when she felt a strong grip around her waist steadying her and preventing her from falling—it took a while to compose herself. Still recovering from the shock she had felt when she was about to fall to the ground, Riley was breathing heavily, her gaze fixed on Damien who was staring at her intensely. “Are you alright?” He asked, pulling her to himself. “Uhm, yeah. Thanks.” She said, flipping her hair away from her face, to her it felt like too much contact, the fact that she didn't know too well to have him have his hands around her that way.Yet, it was intriguing if she'd have to admit, his cologne, his scent…Everything! Forgetting she fell because of her broken heels, he let go of her waist and the next second, he had to repeat his earlier action. This time round, more swiftly. “Dammit, I'm sorry.” He muttered. “You're alright?” He asked, searching her face for a reply. Nodding, she replied, “Uh, yeah.” She muttered

ÇHAPTER 29“Just five am, I still have a few hours left.” She mumbled, shutting her eyes tightly. Nuzzling deep into her pillow and pulling it to herself, Antonia tried to get more sleep. Adding to her frustration, the alarm clock which was on the bedside stool, began to ring. “Keep quiet.” She grumbled, pulling the duvet over her head. Christian who was occupying the other end of the bed, pulled himself up and then quickly silenced the alarm clock. “Much better.” She mumbled and then readjusted before falling back asleep. A few hours later, her eyes snapped open only for her to shut it almost immediately because of the blinding sun rays that had made its way into the room through the opened window. With her eyes still shut, she felt the other side of the bed Christian was occupying but he wasn't there, only then did she open her eyes. “Half past seven? Where has he gone so early? He didn't tell me he was leaving for work…” she continued muttering some words as she wondered wher

CHAPTER 30While the twin was engrossed in playing with his newly found toy, Laura was pondering. She was resting against the wall with her hand under her chin. She could vividly remember that when she left the room earlier, there was no such toy there and she hadn't brought any along. “Are you sure you aren't the one who pulled the toy along?” She asked, crouching beside the twin as she stroked his hair. “I didn't.” He replied. Pushing her hand off his head, he placed the toy in front of her saying, “Do you know Superman is very powerful? He is one of the biggest and strongest heroes in the whole of America.”“I know.” “What about batman?” He asked, suspending his play for a while. “I do.”“What about Captain America?” He asked. Laura, already tired of his questions that would span for the next few minutes, threw her head backwards and then let out a sigh. “Mom, do you know Captain America?” He asked, pushing her shoulder. “Yes, yes I do. Can we just stop this already? Mom is

CHAPTER 31A worried Antonia woke up that morning to find herself in bed, she could still see the dent in the pillow beside her, where he was laid, and she could still feel the warmth of the covers rumpled confirming the previous night hadn’t been a dream.He had made love to her although it didn't look like he was so into it, for countless times he had seemed to be distracted.She stared around at the apartment of one costly home Instead with interest. She knew he had recently just bought it off distress and was looking to get it renovated. The decor was natural wood with vintage furnishings and costly artwork that made the building pleasantly welcoming. Last night had merely been his first night here as well that was if he was telling the truth, of recent she was starting to suspect he lied to her. She thinks he's definitely been there a few times to have some ‘alone time' Despite telling herself that all of this was just at the back of her mind she couldn't ignore that persisten

CHAPTER 32A heavily stressed-out Christian looked up from the heavy files he had been busy with to the executive who looked equally bored with the Pitch deep in his mind he had hated leaving home that weekend. His phone beeped, and all eyes turned in his direction, flushed rather than embarrassed he opened the message icon that had just popped up and was rather startled to see the message from Antonia.Just about then the sounds of the executives clapping filled the room signaling the end to the meeting much to his relief. He cleared his throat. “Are we satisfied with the statistics or do you think there is more that could be done?”The absence of questions marked an ending to the meeting as they all shook hands before making their way forward. He looked around hoping to see Rhys amidst the investors that had joined the meeting but there was no glimpse of him leaving him unsatisfied. “Damien, you can wait while others leave." He instructed.Soon the office was filled with eerily q

CHAPTER 33Heavy palpitations and anxiety, those were the two perfect things to explain the state of her mind at that moment. She was confused for a minute wondering if it was right that she walked in with the box.At long last she did, she looked old again and could see a black car driving away, raising more suspicion and making her more skeptical. One name came to her mind immediately when she saw the content of the box—Christian.It was a gift for the boys, To confirm what suspicion she tried calling Riley, the only other person that had been outside her home as well.“Hello." She muttered Immediately she picked it up.“Did you notice anything unusual When you walked out of my apartment? “ she asked.“What do you mean?” She sounded a bit ignorant about what Laura was trying to say.“I got a package and I am just wondering if you saw anything that could raise suspicion." "Oh, I remember seeing a black car.” Her brow furrowed, as she spoke about the car to think it fitted the exact

CHAPTER 34Feeling rather disturbed Antonia walked into the room looking rather disturbed, she had just been with the doctor and while she had hopefully thought the short trip would make her rather excited, the result was an excruciating opposite.Her heart hurts the most and she grits her teeth, refusing to let out that pain she was feeling deep in her soul.She replays every word from the doctor—“No pregnancy…” The Doctor's words echoed through her mind again leaving behind a very distasteful feeling. She thought that perhaps the situation might have been a lot better for her to take in if she didn't have those complications. She slams the door to her room feeling absolutely disrupted, for no reason she thought it was best she wallowed in the darkness that was around the room as it seemed a more comfortable atmosphere for her thought.“Come home, I need us to talk." Her call to him was short and brief, no pleasantries.She wasn't in the mood for any as she just wanted the hea

CHAPTER 35Laura dropped the phone in her hands and questioned her decision badly for texting him and not Rian.She walked back to the box and checked the content again, this time being more dramatic as she opened the kids. “Hideous dolls!" She grimaced to herself. Whosoever it was most definitely had sinister plans to create a controversial situation or why else would they do something crazy as this?While all of these were traveling through her mind, Rian's call came through almost at the same moment.She picked it up cautiously hiding the fact she was rather aggrieved.“Been trying to reach you, how are you doing?" It felt almost useless having to lie to him but had to do it as she didn't want him getting all worried about a box that could just be a prank from someone trying to pull a fast one.“Laura." He called her when he noticed the long bit of silence.“I am fine, just a bit tired, you?"Rian could sense the restlessness in her voice but if there was anything he knew about
