Chapter 99The door slammed angrily behind Christian as he stormed into the room, his shoulders stood at attention, painfully aware of Antonia on his tail.."You're really going to act like you're deaf or are you just simply choosing to be an ass?" The anger rang clear in her voice with every word that left her lips.Christian tried to shrug the annoyance off but all it did was throw coal into an already blazing fire.The reaction was swift and sudden but expected. She grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, his brows recoiled, his own anger rising to the surface."Now that I have your attention, I'd ask again," She arched hee briws at him in a challenge, "Where have you been, Christian?" The calm with which she broke each syllable would have made any one quiver, made any sane person lift their hands in surrender, but not him.Christian scoffed and shoved her hands off of him. "Never do that again." He warned before storming off into the adjoining bathroom. The frown remained on his f
CHAPTER 100Two days ago… Thoughts of one woman had constantly passed through his mind, especially in the mornings since he’d taken to jogging through the block against.He had taken this chance to stay away from everything including things that had to do with her,still he couldn't as she constantly filled up his mind…The more he tries the harder it was for him to understand all of the madness that was going in through that minute.Damien was trying to analyze his feelings for Riley and the best way he had thought was to completely shut her out of his mind.That day established a pattern that he had followed for the past weeks —The morning jogs, evening walks … All of these were just to stop him from getting crazy over things.It had been filled with moments like this, he would get up, poke about the house, and do whatever he had to do over this laptop.It had been two weeks since he took his annual leave and the only moment he had come across his friend and boss was when the
ÇHAPTER 101Christian and Maurice stared at the man standing at the door and for some reason their jaw dropped, right there was Damien standing with quite a stunning woman, the look on both of their faces was infectious enough that the man with them had to look to, he was equally stunned about everything and turned to look at the man that had just made his way in, when he saw who it was , he couldn't take away that feeling of amusement that filled his face as well.Christian was had this suicidal look on his face when he had called the man, that didn't know that he'd turn out this way—The last thing he had been expecting was him turning in looking that way, he hadn't briefed Damien about the fact that Rhys might be there knowing fully well that he might not show up.“I'd ruin him if he messed this up." He said underneath his breath..His heart echoed wildly as he made way to where she was, it was hard for him to say anything —When Damien saw the look on the face of a man that he w
CHAPTER 102 *Now* He wanted to let out his feelings but his manly pride hindered him as he stayed quiet of everything, he stood away and for a minute ran it through his mind again.He wants to protest, yes If there was anything she wanted so badly to do at that moment it was to get the thought that was running through his mind, much as he wanted to diffuse it. He knows he wouldn’t get that chance for the moment being his mind is let out right there in the cold, he stood there due minute under the a sky that was violent dark gray.Perhaps this was one of those moments when time stood still in her heart, letting out just moments of pulses, letting just moment like what she was feeling, she couldn't get herself to take her gaze off him nor the woman with him , and the only time she was able to was when he finally walked out Still all of this was clouding her mind there was a deeper need in Riley to speak with him and she just had to.As he walked back Into the room it was obvious
CHAPTER 103BACK AT THE APARTMENT He changed the rules, he had changed his agreement… The picture of Laura and Chris making love filled her mind and even if she was hardly wrong about these things this particular one though probing her heart felt out of the blues and she felt worried . She looked at the time again, already he had sent a message to him asking where he was—A message notification beeped in and she stared at her message, she could see that it was definitely from him but still with that feeling of frustration that was grieving her soul at that minute she kissed her teeth. Chrus : Would be coming home a bit late you don't have to stay up She thought about it for a moment, if the man had been with Laura it would have been easy for him to tell immediately, she knew this was far from what she wanted still she couldn't get herself to come up with the fact that he could be with another woman, what if she was wrong .All these thoughts filled up her mind as she thought of
CHAPTER 104He looked around the room again, this time he could see that he was out of his seat, Christian who had just returned, shook his head as he could understand everything that was going on at the moment. All he did was to try to distract the man that was before him .He thought about the sequence of the entire matter again and thought that Rhys was either too blind or rather he was too oblivious not to see this, it was the craziest thing he had thought wouldn't happen He winded how it was hard for the man not to tell that all of this was going on Right under his nose and to make matters worse at that, he was more interested In closing the deal .Much as it felt intriguing, it was a crazy thing to do… .the moment when he had the time to do so, he called his phone.Of course Damien didn't pick —He chewed the inside of his cheek in thought. He thought again of the drama that would follow suit if the man should leave wherever he was and make way to where all this was happeni
CHAPTER 105THE moment was becoming more extreme and coupled with the fact that she was standing not too far away from where he was it looked like she could as well be aware if what they could turn out to be, she was consumed by whatever she thought this was—In a way she couldn't let herself be consumed by her innermost desire but as it was presently there wasn't much that she could do.Already she was starting to feel that hint from him that he was enjoying whatever this was as well. He was hyper aware of everything and if he didn't do something he felt he might never get that chance for him ever again, if there was any moment that demanded that he acted out at this moment it was most definitely now.So when she had stepped too close he took a few steps back , not that he had wanted to but he had thought that if he wanted to do this as well and entire situation seem real “Do you think that it would be easy for you to just walk back into my life as easy as that?” He questioned.
CHAPTER 106Laura was so confused as she stared at Tonia, what the hell was this woman saying? "Is this why you came to my room tonight?" Laura asked Tonia "Don't okay dumb, are you fucking my husband?" Tonia asked Laura again and a chuckle escaped her lips. "Why would you even ask me that question?" Laura asked her "Just answer the damn question Laura," Tonia yelled, causing Laura's frown to deepen as she flinched and stepped backward. What sort of question was that? Laura couldn't understand why she was being questioned by Tonia about sex with Christian. Even though she did have sex with Christian, she couldn't tell Tonia about it. Even if she was his wife, she still didn't have the right to barge into her apartment to ask her this silly ridiculous question. Laura wouldn't tell her that she was having sex with her husband. "I have other things planned for tonight so please leave Tonia," Laura said and opened the door for her to leave. "You have been ignoring my questions and a
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
