CHAPTER 36

He burst through the door and stared right into the room, it was the last thing he was expecting himself to do but he seemed to have acted out of impulse, more like his fatherly instincts kicking in rather than any other other emotions at that moment.

“They are fine, it is just one of them throwing tantrums." She muttered.

He sighed In relief. “I am sorry, I … “

" I am quite surprised you acted that way. “ Laura grimaces looking straight at him.

She couldn't get herself to believe as well, as a matter of fact the entire situation seemed rather stunning.

" I just thought it was, you know what, let's just get back to what we were discussing.” He insisted.

He could see the smile on her face and it irritated him further—

" Get that crazy smile off your face, this is nothing. “

" Well, if you say so. “

They both went downstairs and continued with the conversation they were having about the anonymous parcel, what made matters worse was the incessant fact that Antonia kept calling

    CHAPTER 37Christian paced the sidewalk, the anger radiated off him with each step he took, with each stomp he made on the damp grass. How could they be so callous? As if seeing Antonia so hurt wasn’t enough, Laura had to add salt to injury by humiliating him, like he was a mere pest she couldn’t wait to be rid of, after calling him to come, and worse, Rian had been there to witness it all! He ran a hand through his already messy hair. What made it all worse was he had no idea how he could make Antonia feel better, he wanted more than anything to take her pain away, but how? He punched the wall with all his might as the memory invaded his mind yet again. The wall crumbled in the shape of his fist, the dusty bits from the damage remained on his fist. His fist throbbed painfully but it didn’t matter, none of it mattered. Not when Antonia was probably at home blaming herself for something she couldn’t change.He groaned and shoved a hand through his hair, the sting of hair rubbing ag

Was he worried about the results?She was quick to push the thought out of her mind, just in time as he turned to look at her.Antonia, who was already awake, pretended to be asleep just as his gaze touched her skin. She could see him through her fluttering eyelids staring intensely at her but didn’t open her eyes. When she felt the soft brushing on her cheekbone. She opens her eyes abruptly.He nodded. “I knew it." He chuckled.He caresses her chin while looking at her intensely, almost as though yesterday hadn't happened.“Been craving looking into those eyes of yours.” He kissed her on her chin and she groaned.“Common don’t get all naughty, I have a lot planned for today and would end up doing nothing if you don't stop.” She murmured.He chuckled.“I don't

    CHAPTER 39Waking up to a bright day, he tossed and turned right there on the bed noticing her absence for the second time that morning, while one part of his mind was worried about where she was at that moment, another part was glad at the fact that she was herself again and doing things normally. Earlier, he had walked into a room that was void of her though the heavy scent for her cologne made glaring the fact she had left not too long ago. He had lain in his bed for what seem likean hour listening to the clock in the distance as he let in the cold air through his skin from the AC until a numbness spread through him.Sitting there at the edge of the bed with heavy thoughts, he thought it was best he did something to rid himself of the feeling that was going through his mind at that moment.There was no Antonia, no calls from Laura so it only made sense he did something to exploit that but of quite that was filling up the moment At first he didn't know what to do but as the min

He is done listening to her Cock and bull stories, much as he loved her and would believe anything she said it was hard to justify what she had explained as her reasons.“So you're telling me all of these were just pranks to know if I was cheating on you?”She looked up at him with a face filled with amusement, crazy as it was she knew beyond fact the need to keep up with every supposed lie she had told for the past one hour." Yes.” shShe could see that hint in his eyes. " Do you think I am lying? “ She feigned a pitiful look." No, I am not saying —” he drops his hands, frustrated. He rolled his eyes as she watched her storm away, she hurried down the hallway, acting all frustrated at the fact that he had tried using his Influence on her, again, while trying to coerce her out of her secrets. She shut the door behind her, there with her fingers running through her hair, and then let out a sigh.That was so fucking close! She thought to herself, the a

    CHAPTER 41Walking out of the house, Christian noticed a car by the garage, he furrowed his eyebrows as the car looked familiar. He tried to look who was in the car, but because he was far from the car, he couldn't see anything, still with his heart raging wildly with the need to get rid of the curiosity he felt — He headed towards the car, each step he took made his heart beat loudly, till it was heavy and stiff as he hoped it wasn't what he was thinking. Just as he was about to reach the car, Alex suddenly called out to him. "What are you doing?" The lad asked, confused at what Christian was going to do in another person's car. Christian halted and turned to the lad. "Nothing." He replied and turned to look at the car, he shut his mouth tightly and turned to Alex. "Are you sure about that? You look like you're looking for something," Alex replied with an innocent look. Christian smiled and walked over to Alex."Don't worry, there's nothing, okay?" He said and Alex nodded. C

She asked, trying not to stumble upon her words.Christian clenched his fist, "Still pretending not to know anything?" He asked with a sarcastic tone and over to Antonia. "What? I'm not pretending. I didn't go anywhere!" Antonia retorted."I can see you're getting bolder, but too bad because you're bad at lying," Christian replied slowly as he touched a strand of her hair. "Where did you take the car to, if you insist on not going anywhere?" He suddenly asked, Antonia was caught off guard. "I… I went for a stroll," She stammered. She tried to avoid Christians piercing gaze, but he grabbed her chin and made her look at him. "A stroll? With the car? Can you listen to yourself? Was what you said pleasant to your ear?" Christian asked in a mocking tone. "I… I was bored," Antonia replied. "Why? Why did y

Christian frowned and looked away "Stop this Antonia, I already told you that you are important to me, why should you let this be a problem to you?" He asked. "Why should answering my question be a problem? Or you're afraid of…," Christian pretended to receive a call "What?! How did it happen? Where? Alright, I'll be there," he said and picked up his clothes, wore them and signaled to Antonia he was coming back later. He hurriedly put on his clothes and left. "Finding a way to run isn't it?! I won't let this slide!" She clenched her fist angrily as she stared at the door. ~~~It was late when he got back, silently, he entered the living room. It was dark, he turned on the light and gracefully, Antonia was not in there. He took a deep breath and climbed up the stairs, proceeding to his room, he passed by Antonia's room, she was sleeping peacefull

    CHAPTER 44Christian was lost at words, "You have to think this through," Damien added. "What about the kids?" Christian asked rhetorically. He couldn't bring himself to leave the kids, nor could he leave Antonia. Damien seemed to have heard his thoughts and replied, "They will be fine without you, you don't have to worry about them. After all they're not the first kids to grow with a single parent," Christian was enraged when he heard this, he cast an angry look at Damien. "Stay out of this, I don't need your opinion anymore," he growled. Damien was surprised at the sudden change of Christian. Wasn't he the one who had asked him for an advise? Why had he suddenly change?"But you were the one who asked for my-""And I regret asking for your harsh and cruel opinion!" Christian hissed. "Ill do whatever suits me the best, you can now leave," he added."I'm sorry if I had-" again Damien was cut short."I asked you to get out, didn't I?" Christian asked and gave Damien a cold look, lo
