Chapter 6

"Everyone who have wronged you, I promise to deal with them,just stay with me, please," he said in an hushed voice before he left the room.

Next morning, Layla woke up feeling quite refreshed. This was the first time in years she had a good night sleep. She woke up feeling really radiated. It was obvious she was in a good mood with the way she hummed and danced round her room.

Her day was destined to turn sour as she received a call from her father. She hissed as she ignored the call,she didn't want anything to do with that family.

Her father called for a while before the call got disconnected. She glanced at her phone with disgust as though it was Arthur she was staring at.

She did her morning routine and decided to head downstairs. She wanted to have breakfast as she was starving.

"Good morning grandpa,I hope you had a good night rest?" She asked with a bright look and grandpa Brooks felt more energized seeing her.

"I had a wonderful night rest, thanks for asking," he sai

    Chapter 7"Boss Chad,have we made a mistake? Did we come to the right place?" A guy who had initially looked down on Layla said as he tried to wipe off his sweat."I don't think so,this is the address boss gave us,this miss Layla is definitely not simple," Chad analysed to them and they couldn't help but take a deep breath. They had definitely made a mistake."Wow," one of them said as he took a deep breath in shakily. He was done for. He had underestimated his future mistress.___Living Room"Where are my mother's momentos?" Layla asked with her frosty eyes. She was looking really angry right now as she glared daggers at them."We would get it,Ella,go get it," Arthur said to the frightened Ella."Yes father," she replied before scurrying away. Layla's look previously was really scary and she didn't want to be on the receiving end of it. On a normal day,she would not have gave in but recalling the way Layla beat up those bodyguards,she still felt a shiver run down a spine. In simpl

    At the mention of Michael, Ella's face revealed a blissful smile. Arthur confirmed that they had a good relationship and the smile on his face became more evident."We have got to prepare, Michael is an esteemed guest so we can't have any slip ups," Arthur said as he began instructing Beatrice on things she had to."Alright,I have something to do in the study,I would retire to my study," Arthur said as he left the living room swiftly."Mom I'm so happy, everything is falling into place now," Ella said with visible bliss. She was really excited."Why are you foolish?" Beatrice asked with disdain. She didn't understand why her daughter was happy when they had more pressing issues to deal with."What do you mean mom?" Ella asked with confusion."You are such a silly girl,you are the only one who would be happy in such a situation, can't you see that we can't control Layla anymore,she has her mother's momentos," Beatrice snapped as she glared at her daughter.Sometimes,she wondered if the

    "Blood clot?" He asked in surprised. "Hmm and it had been there even before I was born," she said with a sad laugh. "I would be there soon,do not do anything stupid,wait for me, everything would be alright," he said and hung up the call. Looking at the darkened phone,she let out a small smile. It had not been long since they knew each other,but he had clearly made enough sacrifices for her. Even if she had other thoughts about this marriage,his actions were enough to make her waver. She arranged her emotions before going into her mother's ward. "Mom, I'm here to see you," she said to the woman who smiled lightly at her. Layla felt her heart break on seeing how happy she was but she couldn't show her emotions or her mom would figure out that something was wrong. "I was thinking you wouldn't come, I'm sorry I overreacted the previous day," Kelly apologized once she saw her daughter. "Mom..," she wanted to tell her that it wasn't necessary but Kelly interrupted her. "I know what

    "I'm just worried about my mom,I know I should be optimistic but I can't help but think about it, I'm worried," she said in an hoarse voice. "Everything would be alright, I'm here,you need not worry," he assured her and she gave him a smile which caused his heart to skip a bit. "I know I can't count on you,not knowing when this happened but I know you would always have my back," she said and her words earned a smile from him. He felt that her words were much more better than signing contracts worth billions of dollars. It was worth it for him to push all his work or else,he might not have heard these words. "By the way,are you done with your work? I hope it wasn't because of me you flew all the way here?" She asked already feeling guilty. He could sense that she was feeling guilty,so to put her heart at ease,he said, "I had already completed my work,I only left the follow-up to my assistant." She only breath a sigh of relief after she heard his words. "I would go home to have a

    "I don't know,come on, let's leave this hospital,we would visit my aunt another day," he said as his ego and pride had been shattered by someone he once looked down on. "Miss,I noticed you were uncomfortable with those two people,why didn't you leave their presence since you don't like him?" The driver asked curiously causing Layla to raise her head up from the car's window. "You would not understand," Layla said with a smile. No one would understand what she was facing. The driver seeing that she was not willing to talk about it, tactfully remain silent. They soon got to the Brooks' mansion and Layla sighed out loudly as she stepped into the house. She only felt warmth in this place and she tightly tried to grasp it. "You are home," grandpa Brooks said with a smile as he welcomed her with open arms. On seeing the warm gaze of the grandpa, Layla felt hot tears in her eyes. When has anyone ever treated her like this? She was treated like a trash all her life but the grandpa who had

    Thank you," she said accepting the glass of wine. She wrapped her hands around her arms as she felt the biting cold."Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" She asked quizzically as she could feel his intense stare on her."Yes, actually I don't know if you would want a grand wedding or a just a small one, my heart is divided,I want to take in your opinion as well," he said in one breath.Layla gave him a confused look and he was nervous of her answer. He would rather they have a grand wedding as that would be the biggest slap to her enemies."Or you can tell me what your dream wedding is," he probed. He really wanted her opinion as well,as a lady's wedding only happens once in a lifetime. He didn't want to flop."Actually,I have always dreamed of having a beach wedding,you know, feeling the sea breeze hit me,it would be a novel feeling to me," she said, giving him a bright smile.He was stunned by her smile and couldn't get himself back as he stared at her deeply."When do

    She was about to stand up but she fell and fainted. "Layla!!" Miles screamed in fright and shock. Grandpa Brooks rushed out from wherever he was as he stared at the figure who was in the floor in shock. His face turned pale immediately as he tried to regulate his breathing. "Quick,call the ambulance," he ordered the maid who was lingering around. She nodded swiftly as she called the hospital requesting for an ambulance. Miles was already cradling her as his eyes turned red. Her body was frighteningly hot. "Layla, please be fine,I don't want to lose you,I know we haven't spent a lot of time together,but please don't leave me," Miles said as tears dropped from his eyes. This was the first time the cold CEO acted really vulnerable. "The ambulance is on there way,you just need to be calm," grandpa Brooks said as he rubbed his back. He looked at the girl who was in his arms and frowned. "Why did she faint all of a sudden?" He questioned himself. "I can't wait for the ambulance,I w

"Grandpa,I would call the driver to pick you up,you don't need to stress yourself,at your age,you need to take a rest," Miles said and grandpa Brooks nodded in affirmation. He didn't want his grandson to be disheartened. He knew that Miles might appear cold but he valued familiar love to anything. "Alright," he said and Miles brought out his phone to call the driver. Grandpa Brooks stared at the female figure on the bed and his heart shook slightly. She looked deathly pale as though she was not breathing anymore. If it wasn't for the rhythmic rise and fall in her chest,he would have thought she was no more. He couldn't believe that an allergic reaction could be as life

    He just called her his fiance and he did so naturally, this caused her heart to become fuzzy and warm."Thanks for picking me up," she said and gave him a kiss on his cheeks."You are welcome," he said without turning to look at her. He was still shocked that she kissed him, so it was normal he reacted that way."Did you have fun?" He asked when he couldn't tolerate the silence anymore."Yes I did and I also found out something interesting," she replied as she stared at him with an hint of mischief in her eyes."And what's that?" He asked as he pulled out of the driveway. Seeing the look in her eyes, he knew what she was about to tell him was something worthwhile and might cause him to be surprised."I met with Michael today," she did not even get to complete her statement when he snapped his head towards her as he asked her series of questions,"You met with him, what did you both discuss, do you still like him?"

Fiona, the hot-tempered one flared up immediately."I was not speaking with you, so I would be happy if you stayed away," his attitude towards Fiona was bad and this caused Layla to frown."Who are you to speak to my friend that way? The last time I checked, we don't have any sort of relationship with each other," her voice sounding colder than she intended."Layla, I understand that there are several misunderstandings between the both of them but I'm willing to change for you, I was muddleheaded for a while, please forgive me," he said with a sincere look.But Layla was not going to fall for it.

    "You have found out about my infidelity, I'm not good enough for you anymore," Michael said calmly. He didn't want a crowd to surround the both of them. He was still thinking of his reputation in a situation like this."You don't want me anymore, that's why you are saying this, I don't care if you cheated on me, I just want you for myself, is that too much to ask?" Ella questioned with teary eyes.It would be a lie to say she wasn't hurt. She might want to get rid of him by wanting Miles, but she couldn't let him go just like that."Why are you still bent on staying with me, do you think I'm not aware of you wanting Miles Brooks for yourself?" Michael blurted out feeling pissed off."Did I hear just hear correctly, they want to break up?"
