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
CHAPTER 57He was startled, in a way he could tell that something was wrong but couldn't wrap his finger around it. Antonia had walked straight to the bedroom without her signature kiss saying goodnight and In a way he found it rather amusing, it was not shocking. Was he overthinking thinking things, the thought that this could be what was happening flashes across his mind and he what he thought was best for the situation on ground, he decides to stay quiet about it and watch— Still listening to the sound of water from the faucet, he could tell almost immediately that some something was wrong.His eyes followed the trail of mud that were right leading to the room, his heart kept beating loudly as he became more and more aware of a plight that looked clearly like that of a broken woman.Regardless, his choice remained steadfast in being silent… He thought he was going to keep to that till apparently he had his answers no matter what it was.He should be furious but he isn't. Instead h
CHAPTER 58 Where had the silly thing gone?Antonia was in fury not sure of how she'd handle the entire situation before it escalated, at the moment she is still on all fours, she surveyed the floor in frustration as she picked up the shard that had fallen to the floor , her heart was tinted by a dark feeling of fear and anxiety that looked to creeped through her soul.One piece was left from her calculations and with the twins around she knew beyond fact that she had to look for it before one mistakenly stepped on it.The day had started as it should, she had been at home today due to the fact that she was having cramps and had thought it would help cool off—.After having a warm bath she walked down and could see Rian at the table eating.“You are up already." She had muttered with a sleepy eye as she made way to where he was.All effort to get him to speak had proved abortive and at the last moment he snapped.“What do you want, woman, can't I have my rest anymore." She was surpri
CHAPTER 59Rian was distracted by his phone buzzing, with one finger in the air he wagged his finger asking for her to halt whatever she wanted to say.She watches him leave again, when he makes his way out, he addresses the Issue straight away.“I need us to talk." She still tries convincing him.He barely looked her way as she spoke, as he was in a rush to leave. “This can wait, I really need to leave.She listened as he drove off. Her heart was beating heavily as she thought about the entire situation while trying to get her mind to think about how she was going to get the news to him.He had seemed rather frustrated at her for reasons that had to do with a certain Christian that didn't seem to care about her.She was more confused about the way he was seeing things and wondered if this was her just over reacting or truly if he was indeed being all paranoid.Still as the thoughts sank in her mind, she distracted herself by the need to do something that would stop her from thinking
CHAPTER 68She is a worried about Laura for a reason and first had to be fact that she was making random decisions that she shouldn't be thinking of makingAt that moment, she was making her way through the hallway, a look of concern looked to be on her face even as she made her way through.She was right there at the moment at Christian company attempting to drop off the files that were at the table, in a way she was a bit concerned and thought that perhaps she could make a stop at his office.She lurks at the door for a minute, hesitating not the very least, she wanted so badly to get this over with.The entire situation was a bit difficult for her to make a decision on at the moment, as a matter of fact she was trying to make no point out of the situation and get her head into why she was here initially.“Is he in office?" She asked immediately as she walked in.“Do you have an appointment with him?” She asked a little bit cautiously.“No I don't, but I wouldn't mind you doing a f
CHAPTER 61Damien realizes what this had been on this while, he could feel the tension that was louder than even the clock that was beating slowly against the wall of his cardiac.Riley still waiting for a reply cast him with cautious glances, while I kept my eyes downcast on the table, in a way, I sat right there on the chair, stiffer with every second that had passed. .Leaning back, he rested a forearm on the table and focused my gaze on her. In a way, that feeling of anger crept through his veins, it was strong enough that he had to choke it down. as burned in his throat, in his chest, and marred my vision with darkness.“So that is why you came all the way here?" He asked in a way he felt disappointed, so disappointed he wouldn't want a dialogue at this moment.“No, I just thought to ask."He gave a smirk. "I am not stupid you know.” His eyes skimmed up an inch to find her looking as though she was all surprised.“I just want to know, that is not why I came here."Wiping a
CHAPTER 62Still it was hard for any of them to get their minds about anything that was happening, they seemed rather startled about the entire situation that was happening —.At that moment everything was coming a bit as a shock to her, she had thought that it would be easy for her to deal with the entire situation, but as it was it was becoming more and more difficult at the moment.It made the situation more difficult because she couldn't comprehend everything and at the same time she thought it was hard for her to deal with the entire situation, she couldn't get her mind over everything that was happening.“Do you know what I think?" She grimaced. “Tell me." He asked. " I think it is best that I speak to her, who knows she might be going through a lot and in a way I think I am to blame for that. “She couldn't bring herself to admit to whatever was happening.“You know I feel it is best we just speak to people and listen to whatever is there to say.Laura though cautious of th
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. She was balancing the last bit of hope that her relationship with him was holding on to.Inhaling deeply, she let the fresh, crisp air invade her she had left at that moment and she was certain that she'd do all she can to live through it -Being the last bit of feeling she had left for her soon to be ex Rhys, she had thought about what he'd say after she must have given him the news
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
