The Unexpected Marriage Deal Chapter 27
Laura's POVThe tears that slipped from my eyes couldn't propel me to move forward and perhaps land a slap on Agatha's disgusting cheeks —How could she? Me? Poisoning her?Eric stared at me with anger flashing in his eyes, and I could swear my legs went weak. Only God knows what it took for me not to fall on my feet merely staring at his raging eyes—I mean he has been angry before, but it hasn't hit differently this way before.I tried to justify myself, but I couldn't, tears unbearably started cascading down my cheeks that I couldn't even open my mouth to say something.“Sh-She poisoned me, Eric.” Agatha said again, shocking me to the system. What part of the world did this woman come from?The next thing I knew was Agatha brawling so hard. “She poisoned me, Eric. I don't know what I've done to deserve this kind of treatment from her. I only came back just after visiting Dad and the next thing I knew was Laura giving me some glass of water to drink. Not only that, but I had gone upst

Eric's POVDespite how much I tried to compose myself when Agatha had claimed Laura poisoned her, I didn't want to believe her—I never wanted to believe her. Not until it was all proven when I saw a white substance in one of Laura's bag, making me to freeze at first—Seriously? Is this happening right now? Did she actually poison her? It took an ounce of me not to approach, but I did anyway, pinning her straight on the wall with my eyes. I felt her tremble, her mouth half-opened as she stared at me—Damn those tears. I badly wanted to wipe it all away from her, but I was so angry at same time.My brain screamed at me, ‘Get yourself together, Eric. She poisoned your sister, remember? She's a gold digger!”“I...I...” Laura stuttered, the words difficult for her to say as she got choked up with tears trickling down her cheeks. Believe me I wanted to trust her, I wanted to believe she couldn't do such a thing to Agatha, but then the evidence was there and clear—This was the exact poison th

Laura's POVSeething my teeth in anger, I grasped the hems of my dress as I stared at Agatha who looked nonchalant, taking up the slice of plantains Sasha was serving her with.I was sure she's probably enjoying this kind of special treatment because she wouldn't stop smiling and giggling at some point like someone who'd achieved a special result. When she glanced up at me, I was tempted to look away but no, I didn't —Apparently, I glared back at her as she licked her lips in like she was the predator and I was her prey.God forbade.Honestly, it felt weird sitting alone at the dinning table with Agatha after what she had done and accused me of. I let out a sigh—Not like Eric was buying my truth anyway. Until now, he still sees me like the lady who attempted to take his sister's life and would even distance himself from me. Jeez. I would rather not think of it knowing Agatha was right opposite me, food stuffed in her mouth with her eyes all over me as if keeping a watchful eye on me.

Laura's POV“Eric?” I paused, my eyes fixated on his drenched clothes. The rain wasn't showing mercy either because it kept dripping.Eric stared at me without saying a word, his eyes were doing the talking instead, and I suddenly felt taken aback by his stares. Why was he staring at me that way?Suddenly, he started taking slow strides to me, every step he took making my body fidget as I expected him to blast at my face. Perhaps Agatha must have lied to him about what occurred today.“I'm sorry for not believing you.” His next words came as a shock to my face, my expression registered with astonishment as my mouth fell open.Did Eric Sloan of all people just apologized and forgave me?!He took his lips in, his eyes never leaving mine. “I'm sorry for not trusting you, Laura. I recently found out you didn't do anything Agatha claimed you did the first place. That's why, that's why...” He hasn't finished talking when I clutched his collars, tilting my head to kiss him—I was never expect

Aaron's POVI stood beside the window blinds of my room, anger blazing in my eyes as I gripped my phone, seething my teeth. I had just gotten news of Eric's investment and how he successfully got many brand ambassadors on his side.I thought I'd placed eyes in his company, I had asked my PA to do the findings of most of his shareholders and connive with them, so I'd know every nook and cranny in Eric's company but still, nothing has changed. He was still getting ahead of me.The last time I saw him was at the event I hosted, seeing the pretty damsel beside him, I recognized her but pretended not to.. That's Laura Karma. I had looked into her background, and she's the same girl her father got killed by Eric, and her mother kidnapped.A smirk crept up on my lips. She will be a useful tool to me in the future. I'm ready to do whatever it takes to make Eric crumble on his feet and go down with his company. He was my enemy, my sworn enemy, right from the day he arrogantly turned down my b

Laura's POVRena didn't say another word for close to two minutes and right now, it felt like I'm in suspense, my heart pounding so hard in my chest until she cleared her throat.“Are you falling for Mr. Eric Sloan, Friend?” Rena asked in a low voice, yet unsatisfied, and I sighed, nodding my head like she could see me.“I can't deny the fact that I might be falling for him, Rena. We just consummated our marriage last...”“Consummate what?!!” Rena screamed from the other end. No one needed to tell me that she might have jump up, wherever she was.I bit my lower lip, shutting my eyes and opening them back again. “Don't be too loud now, Rena. You heard me correctly,” I replied, rolling my eyes as I walked to my closet, bringing out outfits comfortable to wear.Rena screamed again, almost deafening my ears. “Did you and Eric just... Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! I'm coming over, Laura. I need to see you,” Rena squealed and I snickered.Oh, Rena.“Wait, you're coming over??” I questione

Laura's POVAaron flashed a warm smile at me, taking a sit opposite me even though I didn't offer him a seat.“It's nice to see you again, Laura. And oh, my bad for sitting without your consent,” He said almost immediately, and I waved it off. “Oh, no problem.” I mumbled.There was a moment of silence between us as Aaron wouldn't stop giving me a creepy smile, I could tell that was really creepy. I checked my wristwatch again and still no sign of Rena nearby.“How're you doing anyway? I saw your video the other...”“That's not really my problem, Aaron.” I cut him off, trying to sound cool. He seemed charming but he's prying into what wasn't his business.Aaron shrugged. “I'm just worried about you, Laura. Even though I don't mean any harm. Don't take this the wrong way,” He replied, splaying his hands as he ordered a waiter to bring us coffee.“Are you stalking me, Aaron?” I couldn't stop myself before I ask. Aaron quirked a brow at me and answered, “Stalk you? Why would I do that? I

Bella's POVI felt pains all over my body, most especially my abdomen as I strained myself to do the house chores Aaron has left me to deal with. They were maids around but still, Aaron wouldn't let them do a thing, thereby leaving me to do all despite my condition.How could he be so heartless? The Aaron I once knew wasn't this way and neither was he being rude to me but now, it's more like I was getting irritated by him, that I was something that disgusted him. How he called me worthless, meaningless?, It brought tears to my eyes.Groaning slightly, I rested on a couch, stretching my arms as pain washed into me again. “Ahh,” I gave an involuntary moan.I wasn't due for labor so why was I feeling pains and cramps? Not that I wasn't due, it wasn't just time yet.. it's early.My mind suddenly darted to Eric and tears clouded my eyes—I promised myself not to think or remember him since whatever we once had is in the past, but I couldn't bring myself to keep thinking about him. He became

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
