Chapter 15He widened his eyes as he saw her fingers move slightly. She was regaining consciousness. He called for the doctor immediately as her fingers were moving rapidly.The doctor rushed into the room and he went to check up on her. They did series of checks on her before coming to face Miles. She had opened her eyes already."She's awake now, there's no complications at the moment,if you want to take her home,we can perform her discharge process," the doctor said feeling relieved."Are you okay?" Miles asked Layla who was still looking confused. She had not gained clarity."I'm fine," she muttered absentmindedly as she glanced around the room. She noticed that the surroundings were white."Where am I?" She questioned with her hands on her head. She was feeling her head ache."We are at the hospital,I will talk to you later,you may leave," he said directing the last two statements to the doctor who gladly left the room. The pressure from Miles was awful."Why am I at the hospita
You asked for this," he said as he hoisted her up, kissing her deeply. Their lips moved at a rapid pace as though they had been starved from each other. Before long, Ella was a moaning mess.Hospital>>>>"You really don't have to feed me," Layla tried to reject the spoon which was already directed at her. It was directed to her from Miles.He had gotten the food from a restaurant which was luckily, nearby."There's no way you would be able to eat, so let me just feed you," he tried to convince her, but she shook her head."I'm not incapacitated, I can eat perfectly," she said already feeling exhausted. She had tried to so hard to convince him but he didn't want to listen."Alright,you can have the plate, eat," he said and gave her the plate. He also adjusted her bed, so she could sit upright."Thank you," she said with gratitude. She was happy that he acquiesced to her request.She ate and Miles returned to his files. It was late in the night already, so he decided that they would get
Michael's Apartment>Michael woke up feeling slightly groggy. He snapped his eyes open as he could smell something funny.He traced the smell to the kitchen, and he widened his eyes on what he saw in the kitchen.There, Ella was standing in the middle of the kitchen surrounded by smoke. The kitchen was all black and she looked confused."What the hell are you doing there?" He barked as he rushed inside not minding the smoke in the kitchen."Why were you in the kitchen?" Michael questioned angrily as soon as he was able to bring her out of the kitchen. He had turned off the gas with great difficulty."I only wanted to make breakfast for you, I didn't know it would turn out this way, I thought it would be easy," she said almost crying. She had only wanted to make breakfast, she didn't know it would be this difficult, she had thought it would be easy."What the hell where you thinking when you decided to do that? You and I know you're not able to cook, then why did you force yourself to
She was pleased with his character and attitude. She felt that he was quite different from Michael. At least he respected her and didn't ridicule her condition."Actually, Layla had always fantasized on having a beach wedding and I just want my daughter's fantasy to come through, so my take on this is for you to have a beach wedding, if that's fine by you," she said as she stared eagerly at him."Of course, aunt, I would love to fulfill her fantasy, I just want to give her the whole world as she is really special, Michael doesn't know that he had lost an angel, I should be thanking him," he said with a goofy grin. They chuckled at his last words. Kelly couldn't help but think his words to be right."Alright, it's settled, aunt, once you are out from the hospital, we could have the wedding, I'm sure Layla would want you to be there for her wedding," he said as he turned to Layla who gave a smile."When can I leave? I'm actually tired of staying in the hospital," Kelly pouted as she lo
He got a call from Ella, and he groaned in tiredness. He cut the call immediately and put off his phone. He didn't want any disturbances in his work.Ella glanced at her phone in anger as she thought about why he didn't pick up. She tried calling him again, but the phone had been put off.She threw her phone on the bed in frustration."Why is behaving this way with me? I thought he loved me," she muttered to herself in annoyance."Sir, you are having a meeting with the investors in the next ten minutes, we have to convince them that our company is worth working with," his secretary said to him as she entered into the office.Michael ignored her as he looked lost in thoughts. Belle, who was his secretary frowned seeing how lost he looked. He had never been so lost since she started working with him and that was about a year ago.She wondered if he was facing any issue. She contemplated calling Layla as she knew Layla was his girlfriend.
"Hmm," Kelly cleared her throat and Layla slapped her forehead in dread. She had forgotten that they were not alone. Now her mom was so going to tease her."You guys can leave,I know you might want an alone time," she said with a suggestive gaze and Layla pouted. She knew this would happen. Her mom would definitely make fun of her."Mom! You are teasing me, aren't you?" Layla whined and Kelly gave her a sweet smile.Layla groaned knowing fully well what her mom was playing at."See you tomorrow mom," she muttered angrily as she pulled Miles out of the ward."Why did you do that?" He asked, totally confused for the reason of her behavior."We have to go home,you did not eat the food the nurse had brought so I'm worried you might get stomachache," she said and it was an half-truth. It might be one of the reasons,but the real reason was that she wanted to escape from her mom's teasing."Are you worri
Ella was confused as to why he behaved that way. She decided to wake up really early to confront him. She really didn't like his recent behavior."Michael, don't leave yet," Ella sat up immediately she saw he was leaving early again. She had pretended to be asleep. But she couldn't continue the pretence when she saw that he was about to leave."I thought you were asleep," he was obviously startled by her abrupt words."I only pretended to be asleep, it's been three days since we had a proper conversation,why are you ignoring me? Is it because of the fight we had three days ago?" Ella asked and tears fell from her eyes.Michael sighed seeing her tears. It was now he noticed that she was prone to crying for every little things and he was getting really impatient with it."It's not like that Ella,we have an important project and I have to supervise it,it would prove my worth to my dad," he patiently said to her. Of course that was a lie,the real reason he was avoiding her was because he
The doctor came in and they settled the discharge process quickly. The doctor dared not dawdle due to the fear they had for Miles."Mom,you don't know how much I have missed you,my heart breaks everytime I see you in the hospital,but I'm quite excited that you have been an p discharged already," Layla said as they walked through the hallway.They were going to the parking lot. Miles had also designated a driver for them,so it would be easy for them to get home."The driver is here," Layla pointed to a man who was standing beside a luxurious but low-key car."That's Mr.John, let's go meet him," Layla said and Kelly nodded. She was more satisfied with Miles as time passed. But Layla didn't expect to meet Ella at the hospital. She had spotted her previously and she had thought she would ignore her like the sensible person she was.But obviously,she miscalculated as Ella walked towards them and stopped in front of them. She looked at both Kelly and Layla with disdain,but she masked it up
Grandpa Brooks could still find time to tease Knight in this situation. This only caused him to roll his eyes before they burst out laughing.Meanwhile, Miles was staring at Layla. He wanted to ask her questions but he didn't know how to go about it."If you have something to ask me, then do so," she suddenly spoke up and his hands slipped away from the wheel in fright."So sorry about that," he quickly regained control of the wheel when she stared at him."I would never have known that you are acquainted with grandpa Knight and that you also know how to hack," he said after some moment of silence."I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just,""I understand, you didn't trust me," he said as he looked ahead not bothering to look at her anymore.Layla was startled by what he said not because he was right even though he was, but by the fact that he was able to see through her. Yes, she didn't quite trust him and it wasn't her fault, she just didn't expect that he would be aware of it.
She had never known that her master would be so chatty but she could feel something in her master's voice. He didn't reject the marriage, instead, it felt that he approved of it.Layla immediately freshened up and went to bed immediately. She had a really long day.Next morning>Layla woke up feeling sore. She had slept in an awkward position the previous night, so it affected her today.She rubbed her neck which was hurting from the way she slept. She dragged her tired self to the bathroom and had a long shower. She dressed up in a professional suits and applied quite a bit of makeup.As she walked downstairs, she bumped into Miles who was fixing his tie. Her gaze met his and there was an awkward silence. Miles was the first one to break it."Good morning," his low husky voice resounded and her heart pounded with a loud bang. Why didn't she notice that his voice sounded this good."Yeah, good morning," she said and h
"If so, then who was the person she spent the night with? I think I have to make some investigation," he thought before falling onto his bed.He was clearly not bothered about the threat the man made. If he wanted, he should inform his dad, the company was not under his name anyways.He wouldn't allow anyone to ruin the hard work he had spent so much time and effort to create.Brooks' Mansion>When the two stepped into tbe house, they were greeted by a pair of glittering eyes and they looked behind their backs to see if they were the ones being stared at."We are looking at you, then why are you looking behinds you?" Grandpa Brooks complained and they hummed in sync."You are meant to be asleep, it's way past the time you are meant to sleep," Layla said as she looked at her wristwatch completely befuddled with the way the elders were acting."We have been waiting for you, we have something to discuss with you," grandp
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?" His palms were clenched around the wheel as he had a very nervous look
"What was he spitting from that thing he calls a mouth?" This was the thought that was in the mind of the girls as they shared confused glances."What do you mean by what you just said?" 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. She had seen him with such an expression and she had fallen for it but now today. She wasn't going to be drawn in by his insincere look."Sorry to say
"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?" Vivian asked feeling flabbergasted."Not only that, it seems Ella was already thinking of breaking up with him and hooking up with the Brooks' heir," Mica said with stunned eyes.Fiona immediately looked at Layla who looked amused with what she was s
Chapter 43"Alright that's enough, Sheila please," Jason pleaded. He was very close to Layla and he knew her character well. She wouldn't back down from fights such as this and he was also aware that she was doing it just for Fiona."We are here to celebrate, so you guys should refrain from fighting please," Vivian pleaded."I won't fight if she doesn't piss me off," Layla said with a shrug of her shoulders. Sheila glared at her and she returned it back.She had always had a bad feeling about Sheila but she didn't want to dampen the love Jason had for her. Only a woman who knows the real character of another woman."Alright, let's order," Mica said as they tried to ease the tension between the two ladies.Mica rang the bell in the private room and the waiter swiftly made his way in. He quickly handed them the menu and they all ticked their preferences before handing it back to him."Okay, Mica, tell us what you have been up to," Vivia
"Whatever, let's go in," Layla couldn't be bothered with her anymore. The important thing was that she behaved herself properly and that she was able to control herself or all her talks would have just been in vain.They both walked up to the receptionist who welcomed them with a smile."Welcome to Imperial restaurant, how may we be of service to you," the receptionist said with a smile."Uhm, we booked a private room but our friends have arrived before us," Fiona was the one who replied."Okay, please what's the room number?" The receptionist politely asked."It's room 205," Fiona replied."Okay, please wait a minute," the receptionist said as she busied herself on her computer."Alright miss, your friends are there already, it's the first room on your left once you get upstairs," the receptionist gave them directions after some minutes of checking the computer."Thank you," Fiona said as the receptionist nodded."Let's go Layla," Fiona said and they walked to the elevator."You
Chapter 41 "Mom I suggest you open it," Alex said, his expression oozing with danger. "Whatever," Penelope said and opened the envelope. What fell out of the envelope shocked her to the bones. "What in the world is this?" Penelope asked in fright. What she saw was naturally what Michael's father and his mom saw. This was the reason for her big reaction. She immediately threw the envelope away in disgust as she wondered how her son was able to get her hands on such a disgusting thing. "How did you land your hands on such disgusting pictures?" Penelope asked after she had regulated her breathing. She was still speechless over what she had seen. "Let's just say I have some connections, don't bother with how I was able to get my hands on it," Alex said. He of course wouldn't tell his mom that he was the one
