The Unexpected Marriage Deal Chapter 17
LAURAI nearly choked on the glass of water I held when Eric mentioned me as his escort.“I'm your escort? Like, you mean I'll go with you?” I asked, not believing my ears. Eric Sloan is just something else. Was this some part of his game where he takes me somewhere to threaten me again or disgrace me?Eric stared at me blankly and nodded. “Yes, obviously. You'll have to go with me. I need you there with me,” He replied. My stomach tingled in sensation as my cheeks heated a blush even though I didn't know what ceremony event it was. Agatha was already boiling with rage from her seat, and I was tempted to laugh out.“Seriously, Eric? You'll make her your escort? I'm starting to think this fake thing you claimed is beginning to turn real!” Agatha busted out before she could stop herself. She stood up, glaring at me murderously.Eric paused eating to look up at her as he dabbed his lips. “What do you mean, Agatha? Is there something I should know between you two?” Eric asked, averting h

ERICFrom the moment I stepped out of the car with Laura beside me, I knew coming to this event wasn't going to end well. I was at my competitor's place and now upon seeing him, I wanted to punch him, hit him with anything close to me and make him feel the same pain that I felt a month ago.I watched as Aaron's eyes ate Laura's gaze rawly. Only God knew how cool I managed to become. Guests gathered the place, I wouldn't want to cause a scenario.“Meet my girlfriend, Bella. Mrs. Laura Sloan.” He grinned mischievously, and that's when my head tilted to see Bella approaching him.Her expression died down when her eyes met with mine and I glared at her with nothing but hate. This woman has no shame, no respect at all . Memories of that night flooded into my head like it happened fresh and I gritted my teeth.Aaron faced Laura, whom I was sure would be surprised at the turn of events. “Why are you looking fazed, Mrs. Laura?” He asked purposefully.Laura battled her lashes as she looked at

LAURAI watched as Eric lost all his control and attacked Aaron with a knuckle punch which rested me daze. My eyes wandered the place and guests were starting to stare in our direction despite Bella trying to settle them.Eric's outburst was never expected, which left me to wonder what's the grave secret between them. Why did he hate Aaron so much? Was it because of Bella? I couldn't stop pondering inwardly.“Let's go, Laura ” Eric came again and he started to walk away, ignoring those who kept murmuring words among themselves as I trailed behind him. I could feel Aaron's eyes on me as I followed Eric right behind.“I'm sorry,” I mouthed at him, so Eric wouldn't hear us, but he eventually heard. Oops! “Don't apologize to that lunatic, Laura.” Eric snapped at me till we left their sight.“What was that about, Eric? You just caused a scene in there! What if the people had captured the moment, and it goes viral?” I questioned.“You don't know anything, so just shut up.” He grunted, and I

LAURA“But Laura, you can't just tell. What if he's actually the one? Justin is a psychopath, a real one.” Rena said across the other end, and I sniffled, taking in a deep breath as I tried to digest her words. Rena wasn't wrong, infact she was never wrong about Justin, he's a psychopath, the manipulative type, but I couldn't bring myself to imagine him doing this to me. What would be his gain?“I don't think he's the one, Rena.” I tried to sound reassuring to myself, despite I could feel my nerves flaying.“If you believe so. All I care about right now is you staying alright, Laura.” Rena said, concern etched in her mouth, and I smiled weakly like she could see me.“Yes, thank you, Rena.”Throughout the night, Rena cheered me up by giving me the latest information about her daily activities and all, I couldn't hear voices from downstairs which made me ponder if Eric was up to something, but I was too exhausted to even go check it out until I slept off.***Next morning, I had woken u

ERICGreat. Now my suspicions were cleared as I let the bastard go. If not because Laura was here, I would have taught him a lesson. And I would still have to.Agatha planned that. I had thought of it, she wasn't on good terms with Laura, I knew it more than anyone but I decided to stay calm, not until last night's strange videos of Laura and her stupid ex-boyfriend. I had to call Tyler to give me updates on who posted those videos, and he was still the one who deleted it from the blog in matter of seconds.Tyler had traced down Justin's location and told me he might actually have something to do with Laura's past but what was more shocking to me was the fact that this psychopath happened to be Laura's ex. What did she even see in him? Was it his wacko knowledge or what? How was I even supposed to be sure this man had brain?“So that means the videos weren't real?” I creased my brows in a questioning demanding manner and Justin nodded. “Y-Yes, they were all edited.” The dumbass repli

LAURAI watched from upstairs, in front of my room as Eric confronted her sister, Agatha. A while ago, I had rushed in, past Agatha without saying a word to anyone and I had gone to my room when I heard Eric's warnings to Agatha which made me stop, but didn't move further.Did Eric just call me his wife and not a bitch for the first time? I could see the rage that clouded his eyes and the cold aura that followed suit him when he walked past me. His eyes changed into something I've never seen in him before —softness. That tenderness, but I wasn't going to predict. Eric Sloan can have a change of mind anytime.I rushed back into my room when the tears were too much, and I couldn't control it. Agatha actually planned to ruin me? Not like she liked me being here, but never for once, had I ever thought she would do something to humiliate me in public. What was her reason? My heart ached with the thoughts of what the unknown people might be doing to my mother now. It's been past a week and

LAURAHeart racing so fast in my chest, the unexpected blasted at my face. I would say blast because Eric Sloan was cold, and heartless. What was I expecting? He married me threatening my life and here he was, claiming I wasn't his type. Yeah, I wasn't his type, but what hurt me most was the fact that this stupid heart of mine was falling for him. A jerk.Eric hung up on whoever was on the phone as he turned to face me, he paused when his eyes fixated on mine and so did I, I never took my gaze away from him and neither did I let tears waver in my eyes.“How long have you been standing there?” Eric asked, unhinged. “I don't know. Maybe 2, 5 or 10,” I shrugged, moving closer to him. It wasn't clear to me why I was going closer to him, but I felt like I needed to say something.“Larry said you paid his hospital bills,” I started. Eric looked away and oogled me as he gave a nervous chuckle. “Who told you that? I wouldn't do that,” He responded.“He told me himself. Why didn't you tell me

ERICSome hours ago, I had left home to forget about few things, and those few things included Laura. When I told Tyler that she wasn't my type, I meant it, but my heart didn't follow suit, and that's what vexed me the most. I wanted to get away from her, I would rather not have any business with her because I thought I have been getting too attracted to her recently.This was all a game. Just a game to pull her in as a wife and screw her life for ruining mine to the public but right now, I am being all scattered. A mess I couldn't fix—I couldn't fix my heart and mind from thinking about Laura.When I had left her back in the mansion, I had seen the warm look in her eyes, how she stares at me normally does something to me that I hated and yet, my heart succumbed. Apart from the few ladies I've been with in my life, Laura was exceptional. I don't think my heart raced for Bella while I was dating her like it does for Laura—And if I've observed that it's getting too much, I'd just ignore

The Unexpected Marriage Deal Chapter 133
Laura's POV The D-Day for the final hearing from the court came. Agatha, Mrs Corazon, Larry and I were present in court with others who simply came to watch the prosecution. When the judge walked in, we all did the respectful thing as Aaron was brought in, looking ragged and weightless. My blood boiled with rage and anger as I tried to control myself from where I sat. I couldn't wait for the final hearing to be over and spit on the bastard's face. He would be getting what he deserved anytime soon. I glanced up when I got warm hands on mine. “Everything will be okay, Sis. Mum must get justice for her death.” My brother, Larry assured beside me, and I nodded with a small smile. “Yeah, she would.” Soon, the hearings resumed, and we all watched as Aaron's lawyer kept trying to deny all the evidences pinned on his victim, Aaron, but ours was stronger to identify the wrong. Eventually, the cases and consequences of actions were read out, and it was time for the judge to give the fin

Eric's POVI stared at Tyler's moving lips as he blabbered something I didn't pay attention to. And when he was done, I asked. “Are you done?”“Wait, you haven't been listening to me the whole time, dude?” He replied with widened eyes. I scoffed, returning my gaze to the document I was filling earlier.“No, I wasn't.” I muttered. I finished filling the important information on the document and handed it to Sofia, my new assistant.“Here you go, Sofia.”“Thank you, Sir.” She flashed me a smile.“Um, Sofia!” I called when she turned to leave the office. “Yes, Sir?” She turned to face me.“Can you get me info about M&M Corporation? I'm longingly expecting to buy it.” I replied with a knowing smirk. She nodded immediately. “Sure, Sir. I will look into it and update you.” “You can leave.”“Okay, Sir.” She muttered before scurrying out. I didn't miss the look on Tyler's face as I gawked at him.“What?” “Did you just realize what you just said, Eric? You want to-”I groaned, leaning on the

Agatha's POVI didn't fail to see the defeated look that pictured on Aaron's face when I walked into the auctioning hall uninvited.Yeah, I wasn't invited, but I got to know at the last minute. Bea eventually succumbed to my demand and told me everything I needed to know. I was doing all these without Eric's approval. I needed to save his company from falling into the hands of Aaron, and I knew how defeated and shock he would be by my sudden presence.It took a great effort before the crowd got back themselves and resumed clapping as I placed my bidding. Jackpot. I had gotten back what belong to the Sloans', and no one would ever try to take it.As I turned to walk away from the crowd, Aaron suddenly stood up and stormed out of the hall.“Mr Walker!”“Mr Walker!”“Why did he leave??”“Is there something wrong?” I heard murmurs from the crowd of people as I rushed after Aaron. What was he up to this time?The sounds of my stiletto clicked as I raced faster towards the direction he we
The Unexpected Marriage Deal Chapter 130
Sasha's POVWhat I had feared most was starting to become a reality. Aaron was letting this sudden revenge rule over him, and he wasn't ready to back out.After I had disclosed to him how Agatha showed up and escaped with Laura, and her Mom, he became angry. The news of Me shootings her mom made him stop breaking any frame he came across with at least.Not in this Earth would I have believed that someone like Agatha Sloan would be able to know such kind of place, and without the fear of being caught and killed, saved Laura. Ever since I was a maid in the mansion, I've witnessed, several times, her hatred for Laura Karma. She never loved her from the beginning, what changed?“Where are you going?” I asked, stomping my right foot on the floor as I watched Aaron appeared on the stairs, a wolfish grin plastered on his face, his hands dipped into an eccentric tuxedo that he wore.“Aren't I allowed to leave this house, Sasha? Come on, don't start.” He rolled his eyes, brushing past me.“No
The Unexpected Marriage Deal Chapter 129
Agatha's POVI stepped out of my car, in front of Bea's apartment. I saw her arranging some files in a box with a young girl who had a striking resemblance to her, assisting her.Without hesitation, I marched towards them, and before she could look up properly at who walked in, I slapped her hard across the face.Fuck you. I wanted to curse at her, but I refrained with so much withheld. I left Laura to Eric back at the prison of a place when my tracker pinged on my phone, and directed me to Bea's place. Furthermore, I couldn't even disclose the truth to Eric when he asked because I didn't want him to get worried. If it had to do with his company, he'd definitely be worked up.Recently when I got my hands on the copies of Aaron's phone calls and other files from Clara, I also got to figure out something. Bea was fucking betraying her own boss.Bea held her cheek as she stared at me, her brows knitted with confusion. “M-Ms Agatha... Why did you do that?” She gathered her voice as I sta
The Unexpected Marriage Deal Chapter 128
Agatha's POVLaura collapsed on the floor, like how I'd predicted. I noticed her pale state earlier. And immediately, she was taken into a ward where she was examined by the doctor while I waited impatiently.I really prayed silently that she wouldn't be traumatized by the earlier incident. Her Mom was gone... That was the harsh truth, and there wouldn't be any reverse.Though, I never knew Mrs Karma until today but noticing the interaction between the Mom-and-daughter, I could tell that they had a strong bond. The thoughts of seeing Laura go through misery made my heart to constrict.Immediately, the doctor walked out of the ward. “Doctor... How is she?” I asked with a glint of hope blazing in my eyes.“She'll be conscious any moment from now. She passed out as a result of the shock she received earlier, and it's a miracle that her baby wasn't scathed. I guessed that was due to how healthy she has been. Do you know what kind of foods she eats?” He replied.I sighed in relief, glad th
The Unexpected Marriage Deal Chapter 127
Laura's POVI'd have scolded Agatha for causing my heartbeat to skip when she said she had something to say, but I wasn't gifted the chance to as we took to our heels again.I followed Mom closely. I wouldn't want to lose her the second time. Mom was part of me, and part of me couldn't be left here.“We need to go separate ways so they won't find us!” Came Agatha's voice when we got to a particular point.“No! I can't leave Mom to go alone. Let sought this out!”.“Hey! Don't move an inch!” We suddenly heard a voice, and immediately, we took cover, diving into trees barks. My breath became heavy, and that was the more I became obvious of my surrounding.“Why did you risk your life to save us, Agatha? You could get killed.” I said with heavy breaths.“Do you know what it took me to get to find you guys? As of now, I'm the one who can save you guys before it gets late.” She replied.“This is risky, I don't want you to-”“You should stop worrying about what's already done, and think of wa

Agatha's POV“Hey! What are you doing here, and who are you?!” A deep voice came from behind me, causing me to bring my steps to an abrupt halt.Jesus Christ. I knew I was down for.Craning my neck, I slightly glanced at the huge man behind me, my hands raised in the air as if I were getting arrested by the corps.If Aaron finds out I'm out here, I'd be doomed, and my plans to rescue Laura and her mom would be in vain. He'd end our lives right here, and without a bloody trace.So I turned properly to look at him in the eye. Thankfully, I hadn't gotten walked far to the place. Else, I'd have gotten caught by several men.I swallowed, and thought of the only thing to save myself at that moment. And as much as I hated to say the words, I blurted. “I'm Aaron's girlfriend. He asked me to be here.”Fuck! Those words sounded so bad.The man gave me an odd look, glancing from my head to toes for a moment, his brows knitted with confusion shone on his eyes with how he took me in. “But Mr Aaron
The Unexpected Marriage Deal Chapter 125
Agatha’s POV“How did it go?” I asked, arms akimbo, as my eyes trailed Clara until she sat with a thud on the bed. “How do you think it went?” she returned the question licking her lips and moving her body sensually.“Oops, you know what I mean, Clara,” I said with a slight smirk on the side of my lips and paced around slightly, my hips swaying with every move I made.“I see you don’t want to be fed details of how I gave it to him from the front, back, and even from the side. It was sizzling hot. Damn! You never told me this dude was good-”I watched her as she kept talking about her escapade with Aaron without saying anything. She looked at my face in one jerk and saw how cold and serious it had grown. She didn’t need to be told I was in no mood to hear her vain blabbings.“I could fix the chip to the side of his phone casing while he was fast asleep. Not to worry, he didn’t suspect anything but what are you doing trying to track a man like that?” she asked, her brows creasing slig
