When we get in the car, Mia looks at me sideways, and then she frowns looking at Jo. I smile at her pulling her into my arms for a quick hug. She hugs me back, but I know her eyes are on Jo, that is smiling politely. Richard sits in the front with Nando while Mia leans forward and looks at Jo.
“What happened?” Mia asks, and I take a deep breath.
“Mia, this is my best friend in the entire world. This is Jo,” I say, and Mia gives a slight nod towards Jo that smiles back at Mia.
“I’ve heard so much about you; it’s a pleasure to finally meet you,” Jo says, and Mia nods. She looks serious, and I understand, she was caught off guard and she wasn’t expecting this.
“The ride to Richard’s home was quiet while Mia kept my hand on hers the

Richard POV“This is not a conversation I am having with you, Layla. I am having with Mia; now answer the question,” I shout at Mia, and she jumps. Mia opens her eyes, locking on me. I see fear in them once again, not the calm she had previously.“I need to go do something in my room,” Jo says in a way I don’t recognize. She is trying to get away from us. She excuses herself, leaving us alone. Layla looks at Mia while she looks back at me. I feel like they are conspiring against me.“I am not having sex, Dad, and I don’t want to talk about this with you,” Mia says as she stands up, throwing her napkin at the table. She quickly runs up the stairs.“Mia, get back here,” I shout, trying to stop her, but I don’t even know why I did it. She won’t stop, she won’t come back, she has lost t

Layla POVRichard slowly moves up my body placing small kisses up my stomach and towards my exposed breasts. I can’t help but moan as his tongue leaves a wet trail up my body, and when he finds my nipple, he brings one into his warm and wet mouth, sucking on it as if his life depended on it. His hand caressed my other one and pinched the free nipple, making me moan loudly in pain and pleasure.It’s been far too long since I have felt him inside of me. My insides are aching for him, and I am dripping in desire and anticipation. “I want you inside of me,” I whisper as he starts kissing my neck while he adjusts himself between my legs. I can feel his hard cock pressing against my entrance. Teasing me, driving me crazy with desire.“Patience is a virtue,” he whispers, and I can’t help but shake my head as I scratch his back with

Richard POV“Oh my God, you’re okay” Pamela says to Mia, and I swear to God I am going to destroy her; she will regret the fucking day she was born. The cops start pushing me to the elevator, but Mia stops them.“Mom? What is happening? Let go of my Dad”, Mia shouts at the cops, and they stop walking. They look confused. Good.“Miss, are you okay? Have you been hurt?” The detective asks, and I can tell Layla is confused; her hands are shaking, and her eyes are watery.“Of course, she is not,” Pamela says, and I close my hands into fists, but the cuffs cut my circulation. Fuck this is uncomfortable. Mia takes another step away from Pamela.“I am okay. Why are you arresting my dad?” Mia asks, “he has done nothing wrong, and why are you here?” Mia asks, looking at her mother.

Layla POVRichard has been stressing out about his trial. Everything went to shit with the judge, and he didn’t dismiss the case taking it to trial. Julien has been working around the clock to make sure that everything goes well, but Richard is not convinced.“I believe that everything will be okay. I just need you both to keep calm,” Julien says, and I nod while Richard keeps pacing around the room. He hasn’t stopped since this morning.“Will I be called to testify?” I ask, and Julien nods. I take a deep breath feeling my entire body shaking. I can’t believe that this is happening. All because I gave him hope and ended up breaking his heart.I sit back on the couch, and Julien looks at me, shaking his head. He is a good guy. They’ve known each other for ages. I k

Layla POVThe trial has been going on for hours, and I haven’t been called yet. Every time James looks back at me I can see Richard fidgeting in his chair, and I avoid his eyes. I feel bothered by James’s stare in my direction. I can tell that his lawyer is warning him to avoid looking at me, but he doesn’t really care. We’re almost having a lunch break, and for once, I am quite happy.“Stand” I hear a police officer say and we all stand the judge leaves his chair walking into his chamber in the back of the courtroom. Julien turns to face me and smiles. “Where are we having lunch?” He asks, and I shrug as James starts walking toward me.“I need the restroom,” I say, avoiding eye contact with him, better yet, avoiding him completely. I exit the room and rush to the bathroom. There are two women inside, and they are laughing and cheering. One of them is wea

Richard POV“Come back to work with me,” I plead, but Layla shakes her head. I really wish she would stop being stubborn and come back to work for me, and I need her. She was the best person I ever had, she is organized, and she knows how I like things done.“Please,” I beg, and she laughs loudly as she does her hair into a single braid on the back. I stand behind her as she looks at me through the mirror.“Richard, I have a job, and I like my job. I can’t just drop everything and follow you. That’s not how things work”, she tells me, and I take a deep breath shoving my hands into my pockets as I start pacing around.“But you’re the best secretary I ever had,” I tell her, and she keeps shaking her head. I wish I could convince her to come back to

Layla POV“Miss Layla? There are flowers here for you,” Angie says, and I frown, standing from the couch and grabbing the beautiful bouquet she brought to me.“Oh, Richard didn’t say anything,” I let out, and she smiled as she placed them in the middle of the coffee table. I take a big whiff and smile. They smell beautiful. There’s a little card. I pick it up and smile at my name written on it.I open the small envelope, and my heart beats fast, and I cover my mouth with my free hand in shock.“Flowers to the most beautiful flower in the world. Someday you will realize that you’re supposed to be with me. I love you more than flowers need water to survive. James XOXO” I drop the card as if not has given me an electric shock, and Angie looks at me concerned.

Layla POV“Richard, please, I have things to do,” I say as I move Richard’s hands away from my legs as he kneels in front of me between my legs under my desk. Richard shakes his head as he slowly places small kisses all over my thighs, and my body erupts in a wave of pleasure. My head falls back as I moan loudly as he moves his fingers over my pussy.The fabric between his fingers and my flesh is getting soaked, and he loves every second of it. Richard spreads my legs wider and curses under his breath as my pants make a thick barrier between him and his most desired place.“Stand,” he barks at me, and as if I have no willpower, I stand and obey his every command, and he undoes the buttons of my wide-leg pants and slowly pulls them down, exposing my skin. His fingers caress the exposed flesh slowly, and with his tongue, he draws circles.

The door opens and Fred walks through the door.“Hey, how are you feeling, old man?” He asks before he pours himself a glass of champagne. I shrug my shoulders and Dylan looks at Fred shaking his head.“He is nervous as fuck” he says and Fred laughs as he crosses his legs.“I bet you are, after all, it’s the second time you're doing this,” Fred says and I shake my head focusing on his face.“Third,” I say and his mouth opens wide and Dylan frowns looking at me.

Layla POV “What are you doing?” I ask as Richard blindfolds me and guides me to the car. I smile as he places one hand on my lower back while the other holds my hand. “Come on, where are we going?” I ask but again all I get is a small kiss on the lips after we are inside the car. The drive takes more than one hour. I have no clue where we are now. There are so many places that he could’ve taken me in one hour or so. When the car comes to a stop and Richard helps me out of the car I feel the cold wind blow and I realize we are somewhere open, without buildings or trees. My hair flies in every direction and I bet I will look like I have a helmet on my head. “Where are you taking me?” I ask at the same time he scoops me off the floor. I let out a small squeal as I feel him going upstairs. Where the hell are we? “Good evening Mr. Ashford” I hear someone say.

Layla POV“How is she? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” I ask Dylan as he takes a deep breath after telling me that Jo spent Christmas in the hospital. We both had shit holidays.“You were recovering from brain surgery. Do you really think I was going to tell you that Jo had a panic attack and ended up hooked up to fluids in the hospital?” He asks as if I am the crazy one.“Yeah,” I say, grabbing my phone and dialing Jo’s number. She answers almost on the first ring.“I am sorry, I am so sorry, I really am sorry,” she says as she answers, and I feel my heart beating so fast I can’t even cope with it. I place one hand over my chest where my beating heart is and take a deep breath.“No,

Layla POV“I open my eyes, and I find my mom sitting on a chair next to me. I frown and look around, realizing I am in a hospital room. I blink several times until my vision focuses but no luck. I lick my lips, but my tongue is so dry it feels like I have sand in my mouth. Argh, my entire body hurts. I try to remember what happened, but I really can’t.The door opens, and Louise walks in, followed by Mia. When her eyes meet mine, the biggest smile appears on her face while my sister stays exactly the same way. “Layla, finally,” Mia says as she ruses to stand next to me. My mom hearing the voices opens her eyes and walks to me, holding my hand between hers.“Oh my God, how are you feeling?” My mom asks, but as I try to speak, it becomes a little difficult. I frown as my voice doesn’t sound the same. “Relax, baby, you ha

Richard POVWe’ve been sitting in these uncomfortable chairs for hours. Mia is asleep with her head resting on my shoulder while my brothers are wide awake with me. I keep trying to push away the horrible feeling I have in the pit of my stomach. I take a deep breath, and Mia opens her eyes.“Is everything okay?” She asks. I offer her a small smile and stand up. My entire body is aching at this point. We have been here for hours without news because we are not related to Layla. Her mother is on the way, and even though I said I am her fiancé, the doctor, and not saying anything. This is ridiculous.I have tried to throw money around, I tried to offer a big donation to the hospital If they allowed me to go see her, but it didn’t work. My father kept asking me to stay calm. This is a hospital, people are sick, and at least we know she is

Richard POVWhen we arrive at the house, I feel every hair in my body rises. I shake my head as I cross my arms in front of my chest. I am behind the police barrier, and they're not allowing me to go inside with them. This is ridiculous. He could be hurting Layla as we speak, and they are here playing police officers and trying to negotiate with him. Just fucking go inside and bring her out. Or even better, let me go inside, and I will bring her out after I knock him down.Jude is standing next to me, and he is keeping my father and my brothers updated while I walk around like a maniac trying to escape the torture I am being put through. “When are you going to invade the place?” I ask the detective, and he looks at me as if I have three heads. What the hell is wrong with people?“We need to make sure he is alone. I can’t just send my men blind,” he says, and I scoff as I shake my head

Layla POV“James, let me go,” I plea as he tightens the zip ties around my wrists. It hurts me, and I flinch as he stands in front of me, his nose almost touching me. I feel the tears rolling down my cheek while he smiles and rubs his nose over my cheek as he inhales deeply. I shut my eyes tightly, turning my head away from him.“You smell so good,” he finally says, and I feel my stomach turning. I have no clue where we are, it’s dark and there’s only a small light in the corner of the room. I can see windows, but it’s too dark outside to even know where we are.“James, please, let me go,” I cry but he doesn’t move. He stays in front of me, and slowly, he places both his hands on my legs I try to push him away but my ankles, but I can’t. I have zip ties around my ankles as well, holding me on the chai

Richard POV“Pamela dear, there’s been a mistake. You are not sitting here. You’re on my table,” my mother says, and I swear I could just shout at her right now. This woman is infuriating. The way she tries to make Layla feel shit in front of her is crazy. I look at my mother with a smile, and I can tell by Dylan’s eyes he knows what I am about to do. “Excuse me, I need to freshen up,” Layla says, walking away before I even have a chance to do anything.“That was rude,” Pamela says, and I look at her as Mia rests one hand on my arm. “Dad, don’t,” she pleas with me, and I take a deep breath. I take one step closer to my mother, and between greeted teeth, I start talking. “Layla will sit next to me, whether you like it or not, she is my fiancé, and you better keep up with the program

Layla POV After the silent auction, we are all taken to the dining area. This is an event like a wedding, with round tables with beautiful linen spread all around the room. Big vases with red and green flowers and ornaments. I have to say that Cruella can definitely put on a show. She really knows what she is doing. Kudos to her. Mia walks to her table, and she scrunches her nose when she notices who’s sitting next to her. Richard walks to her, checking on the sitting chart, and I can tell he is not happy either. I have no clue where we’re sitting, and when he offers me his hand, I take it, and he places a small kiss on my finger next to my beautiful diamond ring. I can feel my cheeks go warm. Damn, this man has the ability to leave me flushed. “I promise I will make this right,” he says, and I frown, looking at Mia and then at Richard, and that’s when I realize
