CHAPTER 49Staring at her reflection in the mirror, Laura stood right there in the middle of the room trying to get her most recent altercation with Rian out of her mind. She looked back to where he laid on the bed still asleep and wondered to herself if that was what he cared about after all— Sex!They had started the night most definitely arguing and then it had ended with her having to appease him with sex as well.She undid the simple braid Riley had helped her with the previous week and let the strands fall off to her back, her eyes seemed a deeper shade than it should have been as she drew in a deep breath.She brushed back the faint lines of tension showing on either side of her brows and she sighed deeply again.The truth was that she was tense, as a matter of fact her whole person was— She turned and looked back at him one more time.She thought it was best she had a shower to help her calm her nerves, as soon as she was in, she turned on the taps, stripped and stepped into
CHAPTER 50 “Alright, but can't you tell me why you want to see me so bad?,"Her voice is two tones higher than it should be, giving away her trepidation, she couldn't tell why but it's sounded so important from what he had said and she had to see her parents.Still she is not convinced, she had that feeling that all of this had to do with something as the call couldn't be coincidence.“I’m sorry. I should have been clearer,” he insists. “But trust me you'll hear more about it when you return.” When she turned to face Rian the look he had showed he wasn't that pleased. “Should I come with you?" he questioned.For what felt like a minute, she held his gaze. " I don't think that would be necessary.”“And the summit?" He asked.She groaned. It had slipped my mind, and only now did it occur to me that it would be coming up later that evening.“I will have to call Riley to represent me.I will not turn around my mind because of this.”Rian knew it was a lost cause trying to convince her,
CHAPTER 51He watched in silence as Antonia walked back out of the room, his mind whirring. He could feel his conscience being consumed till it died away in his chest into a state of nothingness.For what felt like a while it quieted in his chest for the first time since all the Madness and jealousy, one would have expected that he would sigh relieved at the bit of silence, but he didn't… and it made him uncomfortable.He was becoming too invested in trying to learn the truth about the entire situation, he wanted to know why Laura was tricking him with the boy's, at least that was the way he saw it.He wouldn't deny that he didn't feel attached to them but at the same time, the entire drama was starting to cost him his life, his wife —He looked again at the door as he could hear her sobbing.He frowned, a hand automatically coming up to rub his chest again as though to keep his heart in check before he does anything stupidly outrageous.He didn’t like that in a way his soul was getti
CHAPTER 52There must definitely be a reason for the call but the reason was at that moment he couldn't tell at least not till he would arrive.Driving out through the secluded road he tries all he could to put his sanity in check, right there in his mind were the most thriving things he could think about everything ending with the thought of Antonia, in a way he thought himself silly for his antics.A part of his mind told him it would have been better if he had just come off with the truth about how things were, still he wouldn't blame himself he thought he was doing what was right and this at the moment didn't seem to be.“I will soon be there!" He spoke a bit irritated this time to the caller who was apparently Laura.In a way he thought she was all out tormenting his soul at least that was what it looked like if she was to get a clearer perspective of It.It was the tenth time she had called since all of this, and already he was getting worried about the true reason for her call.
CHAPTER 53Trees rose above and all around him in the quiet, dark night and all that crept through mind was a haunted feeling that crept through it again and again.The moonlight was pouring in through the sky overhead as he took in the heavy scent of nature around him in a deep sigh.From the sweet scent of lavender reminding him of Antonia hair to the feeling he had all blended together in one space.He turned left, stopping at the glass window of his car and sighed.Five minutes later he was out, he straightened, reaching up, grabbing a handful of hair, andbringing it over his shoulders as he drove in that cold dark night. Thinking back he couldn't believe he had just agreed to whatever this was going to be, he was annoyed, yes he definitely was but he couldn't blame Laura either.By now he was certain Antonia was very worried, she had called in twice to check up on him and on both occasions he had told something important came up.Could she have a hint about what was happening
CHAPTER 54There were only two occasions she came in here, first was when she was down thinking about stuffs and the other was moment like this—She still couldn't get her mind off the look on his face, he had looked visibly angry right before he had walked out. Laura gave a deep sigh as she walked out the apartment, she couldn't get her mind over his reaction to what they had requested.Surrounded by the quiet stillness of the vicinity she had succumbed to, she sat at the bottom of a fallen log of wood and looked around again, this time she let out deep sigh that came off her own labored breathing.She could feel every part of her heart hurting from what she could term as a distasteful feeling from deep inside her heart, she could feel everything hurting.She’d completed what could be the most delicate matter in her heart at the moment, she did what felt like a herculean task by working herself into a position where she had her hand around the base of a tree.She rested her hea
CHAPTER 55With a look of hate and disgust he stared at the woman that was before him, he didn't know how to get himself out of the madness that was filling him up as time ticked slowly In his mind.He walked closer to her, he could hear her heart beat silently as he asked again.“Why were you not home?" She muttered.She looked back at where he was, as he could perceive the scent of alcohol heavy on him. It felt to her like the most ridiculous thing for him to do at the moment." Why are you acting this way?” She asked. Rian didn't look exactly excited about the entire situation, he had tried putting up with her for so long and the fact she was acting this way especially at this time made him suspicious.“Do you know what I think?" He muttered.She rolled her eyes. “Come on, you can't possibly be serious.” She muttered. Laura could tell what he wanted to do without being told, it was easy for her to tell that he was trying to push all the blame on her at the moment.She remains sil
CHAPTER 56Christian walked into the house dropping his keys on the center table as he unbuttoned his shirt, this mmd was blank as he kept on thinking of what he could do at that moment as he he was sensing the need to tell her about th the situation on ground He looked around and almost all of the windows were closed which was a sign that there was no one at home.“Antonia?” He called out but he got a response. He looked puzzled as it turned out that she was probably not home. He could enjoy some time alone to cool his head because his head was boiling as it was.He unbuttoned his shirt fully but left it hanging on his body sauntering into the kitchen.He walked to the bar section and pulled out a whine and a cup. He cleaned the cup with a serving and then poured the wine inside till the cup was full.He placed the bottle back on the shelf and went back to sit down. He relaxed his body and then started drinking the wine little by little.He was lost in thought as he stared blankl
