AUTHOR'S POINT OF VIEW

"Sylvia didn't commit suicide. The annoying thing is the fact that she was murdered right under our nose," Oscar declared angrily as he fixed his tie.

"Who killed her then?" Chase inquired as he took a drag from his smoke.

"Her former boss," he replied, rubbing his forehead.

"Madam Valencia?" Bryan cursed under his breath as he looked away.

How she managed to get her men into the estate was definitely something to worry about.

"She didn't send her men, she paid one of our men to do it, then sent a letter of apology after her job was done," Oscar responded as he threw the envelope.

"And the fucker that betrayed us?" Bryan inquired.

"Nowhere to be found for now. I think he went into hiding."

"I always knew she wasn't stupid enough to take her own life. Too bad her past came back at her," Trenton commented, shaking his head.

"Enough of Sylvia. Tonight is Cindy's party. Everyone must stick to the plan. I want this over. I've had enough of their madness," B

    BRYAN'S POV It's been two weeks since the incident with Mikoy and the rest. Laura hasn't been herself, she's been quiet, and the nightmares have moved to a whole new level. It hurt me because it felt like the devil still controlled her happiness from the land of the dead. She has been seeing a therapist, and we are hoping for positive results. I just want my woman to be okay, and maybe a change of environment for a while would help, I thought calmly. "What are you thinking about?" she inquired while walking into our room. It's crazy how I went into a state of confusion when I found out Ruby was not mine. I did a DNA test and I'm waiting for the results. "About you, about us... I think we need space from everything, love," I stated, and she looked at me in confusion as I held her hand. "Let's go out of the country for a while," I suggested, and she stared at my face. "But what about our daughter...?" she trailed off, and my heart warmed at her ability to always create spa

    LAURA'S POV We returned to the city after that weekend, and the whole family was happy about the news, especially his mom and friends. The plans for our wedding went on with full force. Bryan and I wanted something simple, by the sea with family and friends, that was it. A few days before my wedding, I noticed I was seriously sick. I couldn't eat anything because the moment it got in my stomach, I threw it all up. I couldn't even leave the bed. Bryan was out of the country with Oscar for business otherwise, he would be worried sick. "Babe, get off the bed, we are supposed to go cake tasting today," Kora complained. "I can't... I feel so weak... my boobs ache a bit, they feel so full..." I murmured weakly. "What?" Julie inquired, and I rubbed my forehead. "Have you eaten something? Besides, you're burning up pretty badly." "I throw up the minute it gets in my stomach," I replied, and she gasped. "When was the last time you saw your periods?" she probed, and I stared at her. "I

    Laura’s Point of ViewI made my way to my tiny office. My desk is piled with papers, sticky notes, and an old coffee mug from yesterday’s marathon of errands.A few weeks passed, and I got used to working at Premium Trust. It’s supposed to be a place where my dreams come true, but for me, it felt like a list of tasks.The phone rang, snapping me out of my thoughts. It was Ms. Thompson, the executive assistant."Laura, could you please get Mr. Finch a latte? Make it a double shot with extra foam. Oh, and grab something for yourself too," Ms. Thompson said cheerfully."Sure thing, Ms. Thompson. I’m on it," I replied, trying not to sound pissed. I didn’t want to meet the CEO. I had heard that Mr. Finch is strict and never smiles. No one wants to get on his bad side, especially not me because it was hard to get this job.After waiting in a long line at the coffee shop, I returned to the office and knocked on my boss’s door. I heard a cold voice saying, "Come in."I opened the door and step

    LAURA POVThe sound of me stumbling back caught his attention, and he narrowed in my direction. His gaze was just too hot and intimidating that I nearly fainted from his gaze.When he turned and spotted me, his expression darkened. “Ms. Laura,” he said, his voice dangerously low. "I... I don't...," I stammered, my mind racing to find an excuse, but the fear paralyzing me held my thoughts captive. I tried to escape, but just like the speed of light, I was caged in between him and the wall from behind. His hot breath hit my neck from behind.“Come here,” he ordered, cutting me off. My feet moved before my brain could catch up, carrying me closer to him.My heart beat crazily against my chest as I felt him so close, with his manhood directly making contact with my butt."You don't get to leave so fast Ms.Laura," his thick husky voice made me wet on my panties almost instantly.How did he manage to get my name after our first encounter? I had never felt so flushed in my entire life a

I apologise, as I panicked while I tried to clean the desk.He stood up, and I realised that even his white dress shirt now had patches of brown coffee on it. I shut my eyes and opened them one after the other to check the expression on his face, but he didn't have any expression on his face."You seem to be a very clumsy woman, Ms.Laura,'' he said, and my hands became sweaty instantly, I can't believe I'm going to lose my job just like that.I flinched, “Sorry, sir.”He frowned, his piercing gaze locked onto mine. “I trust you’ve kept what you saw last night to yourself?” he asked, changing the topic.“Yes, of course,” I answered quickly. His jaw tightened as if he didn’t believe me. “Good. Because if word gets out, it won’t just be your job on the line. Understood?”I nodded, my throat dry. “Understood.”“Now, get back to work,” he ordered, dismissing me with a wave of his hand."You heard me the first time Ms. Laura, get the fuck out of

I walked towards the empty seat at the front of his desk, as I was about to sit, he growled “Did I ask you to sit?” I shook in fear as I remained standing.He cleared his throat, as he began, “You are not allowed to do anything until I ask you to, do you understand?”“You don't own me, just because you promoted me to keep your little secret you did not want people to know about doesn’t mean you control me.” I uttered, as I emphasis

I returned the same hearty smile to him.The meeting moved from dinner to the discussion of our plans and how things would be done."Cindy is already a fool right now when it comes to me, so letting me into her party is gonna be the easiest thing to do," Trenton spoke up, telling us his plan."So Laura is gonna be the bait?" Bryan inquired immediately after I came into the picture."It's a brilliant idea," I uttered before he would say no."Brilliant idea? My love, you can't face that bastard. Remember how it turned out the last time?" He questioned, concern written all over his face."How long will I keep running, love? It's high time I face my past and put an end to Mikoy once and for all, so I'm in," I declared firmly, and he sighed softly without saying anything else.He was angry, but I'd deal with his drama later. We can't add that to the list of our numerous problems.Trenton chipped in, "This time around, we have to

    BRYAN'S POVThey used to have a romantic relationship in the past? If it really isn't something to be worried about, why didn't she tell me? I wondered as I ran my fingers through my hair with a frown on my face."Don't tell me you're still thinking about that stuff," Trenton nudged me on the arm as we walked toward our rooms."I can't help myself," I replied, and he chuckled."Talk to her, then. Don't let doubt creep in. This is the time when you both need each other the most, man," he urged, and I nodded as he walked in the opposite direction.I walked to my room, and there she was, in her nightwear with Ruby in her arms."Hey, love," she greeted with a bright smile on her face.I couldn't return the smile, though, even if I tried, my mind kept going back and forth."My crown," she called, and I sighed softly."Why didn't you tell me you used to have a past with Cris?"

What would I have told him?" I frowned, even the thought kept a rotten feeling in my stomach."At least, Cris used to work for you, so he would let it slide. You don't know how men can be," she chuckled."Cris used to like me so much, there was a time we even kissed, like, made out," I said, scratching my neck nervously."Wait, did you guys sleep together?" she exclaimed, her jaw literally dropping."No, no, bestie, what would make you even think that?" I replied, and she raised both hands in surrender."Don't blame me, baby girl, that guy is smoking hot..." She trailed off."Plus, you guys used to make out in the past," she teased, and my cheeks heated up in embarrassment."Kora..." I whined, and she burst out laughing."Chill, it was in the past.

But he left to make me some, after which I invited him to join me.We ended up eating together, and his phone rang in the middle of the meal. I stared at him curiously as he picked up.He looked shocked about whatever he heard at the other end because he started talking in monosyllables.Something told me deep down that something was off."Huh..." He trailed off and stopped himself from continuing."I need to go," he announced immediately after he hung up the call."Go where? It's evening, and I want you here with me," I replied, and he bit his lower lip."It's very important, baby, but I promise I will be fine," he expressed, and I sighed."At least tell me where you're going, I don't feel too good," I complained."Maybe you're worrying too much," he mentioned and kissed my fo

Her best friend Kora inquired as she rushed into my room where Laura lay unconscious on the bed.We moved her to my place after the doctors were done with the most important treatment."She's still unconscious, but the doctor assured us she's out of danger," I responded, and she heaved a sigh of relief."Glad to hear that. I was worried when they told me what happened," she remarked, and I smiled."I caused it though, I made things worse," I mumbled, and she chuckled."Oh c'mon, it's not easy to be with Mikoy in one space and not want to end his life, not after everything he put our girl through," she said, and I pressed my lips tightly together."Be careful, Bryan. I know Laura would want this fight to end with everyone alive," she commented, and patted my back."I will come to check up on her again.
