CHAPTER 84Until they got to their part of the apartment, Laura wouldn't stop peppering Alexa’s face with kisses. She was so happy that she had found her after the hassle. Riley, who was trailing after her, had a long face. She didn't like the way Laura had spoken to Antonia back there but she couldn't bring herself to say it to her. Now sitting on the edge of the bed where the other twin lay, still asleep, Laura cupped Alexa's face in her palm and then began to search her face. After a brief silence, she pulled her into a hug and then began to stroke her hair. “Lexa, you made momma worried.” She mused, kissing her head. Pushing her away from herself, Alexa pouted, “Why did you talk to that lady that way?” “Why is that? She did something wrong and so I had to correct her.” She replied with a scoff. She didn't want to remember anything about Antonia else she would flare up. “She didn't do anything wrong. I was the one who went to meet with her, she even said she would talk to you
85.“Hey, you're up already.” Antonia said with a smile as he covered the distance between them. Setting the tray on the bed, she sat beside him.When she woke up that morning, she decided to go to the gym as usual but since they didn't get to talk about what had happened at the dining table the previous night, she felt she had to stay back just in case he had something to say to her. Even when she went to make breakfast in the morning, she met Alexa on the way but she refused to look in her direction so as not to bring a recurrence of the issue the previous day. Laura was on her way out when she saw it, she felt bad about it but she couldn't blame her for her actions, rather she blamed herself for overreacting the previous day. Walking up to her, she placed her hand on Antonia's shoulder, startling her in the process. “Sorry to startle you.” Wiping her brow, she said, “I'm sorry about what had happened.” “Come on, we already settled that difference last night. Why are you bringi
CHAPTER 86Sitting behind the mahogany table was Christian scrolling through his laptop and at the same time, taking note of some points which he wrote down on his jotter. This process went on for a while before his ringing phone interrupted him. Since it was a strange number, he delayed picking up but when the caller wouldn't stop dialing his contact, he received the call. “Who am I speaking with?” He asked, holding his phone to his ear. “Good day, I'm Ms. Blair, Alex's teacher.” The feminine voice on the other end replied and for a moment, Christian took the phone off his ear. After staring at the workload in front of him for a while, he placed the phone against his ear once more. “Yeah, I'm Alex’s father. How may I help you?” he asked and at the same time wondering why she didn't reach out to Laura. “Alex got into a serious fight with his mate who is now in a critical condition, can you come to the school right now?” She asked with a shaky voice. Christian wanted to direct t
CHAPTER 87He was filled with rage, he couldn't believe she had just hit him across his face over what he had just said, at first he looked around just so he could be sure that no one was looking yet he couldn't take away that feeling of animosity he felt.Laura shocked hadn't thought herself to do that, she watches as he storms off angrier than she had ever seen him “Chris?"She calls after him, too ashamed to go after him with the way she had handled the situation. She thought she could have acted better than she did but at the moment, it was all useless… Dazed, she stood right there at the spot not saying anything, not just standing in that bit of silence, she pulled the boy and muttered something to the woman that was still looking at her, a bit astonished.“I will make sure he gets the punishment he deserves."Laura drove in silence, she thought about it for a while and realizing it would be even harder to do this all by herself she called the only one person that could handle t
CHAPTER 88 Christian walked into his office the next day, even more pissed than the day before. He couldn't stop thinking about what had happened between Laura and him the night before at home. Just because he voiced out his concerns, he didn't like the way Rian, her lover used to act like he didn't have any ounce of self-respect. Seeing Rian everywhere was pissing Christian off and that was why he wanted to talk to Laura about it. But apparently, he had said it in a way that hurt her. Even he realized what he said only after he said it but what he didn't expect was that she would raise her hand to slap him because of something like that. He would have apologized to her or something, she could have gotten mad and walked out.She didn't do any of the reasonable things to do and yet she slapped him hard on the face. It made him angry no matter the angle he thought about it from and Laura hadn't made any move to apologize to him. She stayed out of his way last night and this morning w
CHAPTER 89Christian didn't know how to react to what he had just witnessed, he was confused on if it was right for him to judge the matters from what he was looking at, right there was the same person he detested kissing his woman on the lips, confused he turned away and walked out of the scene.It was an awkward moment for the other woman who remained on the bed, she looked up at Rian with detest. “I didn't ask that you show up, this is the right place for us to meet."Rian wasn't exactly excited about how she was speaking to him. If anything, he would want her out of that place as fast as he could. The thought that she was sharing a house alone with a man was quite out of the ordinary.He tried kissing her again and she averted her lips.“Now what?" He questioned, his voice a tone higher.He stood up from the bed and stormed to the window, he saw Tonia driving out.“Ain't you ashamed, you share this place with a man that has his own woman… “ She rolled her eyes. " Told you seve
CHAPTER 90“Arrrg!”She screams, she hurries out of bed and for a minute she forgets she was sick and all and shouldn't be stressed, she is confused.What was shocking and confusing, what was he doing here… Why was he here?All these questions ran through her mind and nothing could justify his reasons, his heart was beating fast.“You scared me.” Christian stated finally.She stared at him like he had suddenly gone crazy. If anyone should be scared it should be him, she didn't know what to do about the situation.She asked the one question that was wired to her subconscious mind. “Did you touch me?"He covers his face frustrated. " Oh goodness, no!”She was still panting trying to get herself to breathe again, she looked up and she could see him looking at her intensely.“What?" She questioned.He shook his head at first as though nothing, and when the idea of touching her materializes in his mind it filled it with memories, enough memories that he fucking smiles.“Why are you smili
CHAPTER 91Laura opens the door and right there was person she was expecting to see, she didn't know how she was going to react to finding her at the door looking all wasted and almost drunk, not one look at her and it was easy to say that she would be saving a damsel IN distress..For some reason she is glad that the twins were asleep and wouldn't have to see this, so she stalled at the door for a minute before letting her in.“Thank you so much Laura, I had no choice …” she was quick to point out almost immediately.They made their way into the room and she settled right there on the chair, it was the most certainly the most complicated situation anyone of them had been in with both uncertain about what the true indication was.For Laura it was helping her own, for Antonia it was coming to her enemy for help."these is none of my business but look at what you are doing to yourself. Laura was quick to point out as she handed her a cup of drink— water apparently.With shaky hands she
