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
CHAPTER 63Tonia opened the door and in a funny way she could see anyone that was knocking at that moment, she was sure that she had heard the knock and in a way she could feel her heart thumping not the very least.She returned back to the room—It didn't take too long that she found herself falling into a deep sleep. She had thought she heard Chris walk in and stand close to her, but it was all in head.She awoke later to find herself alone in bed. There was a dent in the pillow beside her, and from how rumpled the cover was, she could tell that he was somewhere around.With a soft sigh she raised her head and looked around. There was no sign of Chris in the room so she listened carefully, wondering if he was in the next room. All was silent, Rolling out of bed she made her way across to the bathroom, her feet silent on the soft carpeting. When she walked back out a couple of minutes later it was to a well cooked meal, he extended his arm, ushering her into the bed.. “I wasn’
CHAPTER 64Christian sat at his desk, the phone pressed to his ear. "Yes, yes, Saturday at 8:00 p.m. for two. Yes, I understand your branch is very popular, but I'm sure you can manage. What time? “ He takes a quick look at his watch. " Errm evening." “Saturday evening,” he corrected.The reply made him uncomfortable, seeing that his number was somewhat special he had not been expecting that he'd be faced with the comment's that she'd be making at that point… wherever she was.“You know who is talking right.” He asked again.The back and forth went on for a while but soon he was relaxing back in his chair with a look of satisfaction right there on his face.He leaned back in his chair, satisfied as he hung up the phone. Dinner reservations secured, he opened his laptop and began typing.It was going to be a long day but already he had made that promise to himself that he was going to do all that was within his strength to do what he could to let her understand his plight. With the d
CHAPTER 65was just like every other day…Well, except for Christian!Along with his wife, Antonia, they had just arrived at the luxurious restaurant. He gently helped her out of the car, offering his hand to assist her.For whatever reason he couldn't get his mind over the way she was looking, quite alright she was looking quite dashing still there was that hint about her that left him bewildered, she had that look that made it seem like she was onto what he was about to do. “Your Majesty,” he said, smiling.She looked briefly at him in a rather surprising manner.Christian then led the way as they walked towards the grand entrance, his wife still looking surprised and curious about their ‘special’ outing, as he had called it.As they approached the host's podium, a few of the staff immediately recognized the couple. "Mr. and Mrs Christian, we are honored to have you here today," the host greeted them warmly. "Your table is ready, right this way." The host grabbed a pair of menus an
CHAPTER 66Back at Laura's apartment, she couldn't get herself to think a way out of the situation, her mind still felt heavy each moment, seeming more like something she wouldn't want to think about.Still she was left with no choice, there was a need to her to act and and there was a need to do that very fast—The twins were at it fighting and creating a tantrum but she allowed herself into the thought that seemed to feel everything else at that moment, she was aware of the need to act fast amidst the entire situation..Presently, She was just there seating amidst everything.One of the twins Walked up to her and tugged at her shirt. “Mom, you said you were going to tell us something important while we were eating earlier. What is it?” Alex said as he bounced up and down on top of his mother’s bed.Laura paused while checking out the traveling bag that she had taken from the wardrobe and looked at him. His hair glittered in the slice of sunlight that came from the window. She swal
CHAPTER 67Christian was confused, he didn't know how to react to what was happening , he lifted her off the ground and made a stop at the bed where he dropped her off slightly.His mind felt blank with several thoughts creeping through it.“Antonia”he calls her name again, still no reply.He was going crazy wondering how possible it was for things to go crazy so quickly… He ended the call he had been making and again cast a worried gaze at the woman.Why was she this way.?What had she done to herself!Those questions Crept through his mind at the speed of light, when it was all settled a knock filled the room.Damien walked in with a doctor. “Came as soon as I heard." He muttered.Soon both am stood outside the door pacing about worried.“What happened?" Damien question.He was about to reply when again the door opened, this time the doctor walked out looking all worried but hint of a smile have a bit of hope“How is she?" Christian asked, looking all worried."She made it, but
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.

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
