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
"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
"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
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
"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
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
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.
Chapter One Layla woke up feeling sore. Her eyes flew open and she was shocked as to how long she had slept. She stood up with wobbly feet and also with great difficulty. She was still muddled and couldn't remember anything that happened last night. She only remembers having a few drinks with her boyfriend as he called her to have fun to liven up her damp mood. She wore her clothes quickly and rushed out of the room. She didn't even notice the patch of red on the bed. As she rushed out, she was greeted with strange glances but she didn't think much of it. On getting home, she was shocked by what she met. Her sister and boyfriend were all loving to each other "Why?" She asked feeling heartbroken. "I never loved you. I only love Ella and besides I can't be with someone who goes around sleeping with men. Seriously I thought you were different but after Ella showed me who you really are, I was disappointed." Michael said acting all disappointed. "Why are you saying such? You know
I'm sorry,I was just too shocked that you made such a ridiculous statement." Layla said patting her chest. His gaze was too scary."Don't think too much. I just want my grandfather to stop arranging blind dates for me." He said while caressing his wrist. His eyes look deep and Layla wasn't able to read emotions from his face. He was really good at hiding his emotions."Fine. But I want to carry out revenge on my ex boyfriend and stepsister. I want them to suffer a fate much worse than mine." Layla said while clenching her fists. Mike's turned to look at her and was satisfied with her attitude. Even without her saying that,he would have done it,though secretly. He didn't want her to see him as a bad person after all she would be his wife.Of course. Then it's a deal. After your mom's surgery,you would sign the contract. Is that fine by you?" Miles asked obviously concerned about her opinion."Sure. Can I go see my mom now?" Layla asked. She was really worried and at the same time ex

Chapter 43"Alright that's enough, Sheila please," Jason pleaded. He was very close to Layla and he knew her character well.

"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
