The Unexpected Marriage Deal chapter 39
Laura's POV“How did you get my number, Aaron?” I demanded to know again, and he snorted over the phone like something was funny, causing me to crease my brow. Seriously, was he finding this funny to begin with? I couldn't remember possibly exchanging any contacts with him. “You ask too many questions, Laura. Isn't it good thing that I called you to ask how you're doing?” He replied with a snort again, and I scoffed, feeling irritated. Now I'm starting to see why Eric didn't like him.Eric's voice came again. “Laura! Are you okay in there?” He asked.“Oh yes, yes, I am.” I replied almost immediately.“Of course I need to ask how you got my contact because I can remember the last time, you didn't ask for it.” I snapped at Aaron on the phone.“Don't yell at me, Laura. You're over stepping your boundaries,” Aaron's voice came as a warning and I felt cringed. “What do you mean?” I muttered in a whispering tone.“Don't ask, you'll be expecting me soon at the mansion. I need to tell you s

Laura's POVAt first, I wanted to ignore Aaron's message and act like I didn't read a thing till his message popped in again.“Are you ignoring my message after reading?” The message read on his voice again and my face scrunch up at his demand. Why was he sounding so persistent and commanding? Like he was ruling me or something.Grudgingly, I found my way to the lobby and like he said, he was actually waiting there, staring at a particular direction —The poolside where Eric actually goes to swim or cool his head whenever he felt he couldn't disclose his problems to anyone, including me.He turned in my direction when he noticed I walked into the lobby, my body stiffened but I stood on my ground. I was going to let him treat me like I was his puppet.“What are you doing her, Aaron? Do you not realize the risk you'd be causing if Eric was actually here?” I blurted out angrily, and he smiled.“You get angry and paranoid too much, Laura. I think that's why he chose you, uh? And for the fa

Laura's POV“I can work with you to help you get your revenge, Laura. You deserve to get justice for your father's death and your Mum's abduction,” Aaron coaxed me. Tears ran down my cheeks as I shook my head unbelievably. I couldn't believe it... Eric killed my Dad? How? Is that even possible?“Laura...” Aaron tried to call. “I will think about this, Aaron. You can take your leave, and thanks for the information.” I said to him, glancing at the photos again and he nodded once.“If that's what you say, I'll respect your decision. Just please be careful about Eric, he isn't what he seems to be. If you're done consoling yourself, you can text or call me.” He replied, before turning to leave. I sighed softly, wiping the tears that had dried up on my face as I trod back into the house.I must have taken so long talking to Aaron because when I got back, Larry was already in the dinning room.“Sissy!” He exclaimed when he saw me. Absentmindedly, I strode past him, my mind still on what A

Laura's POVI stared at Eric with tears in my eyes, I couldn't even open up to reply him because I was choked with tears. Is this the truth? Why does it hurt so badly?Eric made to move closer to me, “Laura...”I shunned him not to move an inch closer, stopping my tears from trickling more. It wasn't clear to me why I was pouring out tears in his presence when I shouldn't. After I've decided not to make him see me cry or anyone else.“Laura, you aren't saying anything. I hate seeing that tears of yours, tell me if I did something wrong,” Eric's eyes softened, but I didn't bring myself to look him in the eyes. I knew what could happen next.“Really? You hate seeing my tears? Am I supposed to be sure about that, or you actually like seeing me cry and that's why you keep getting me hurt?” I replied bluntly, and he was rendered speechless for a while.“This…” I stretched out my hands to reveal to him the photos which were with me. He gazed down at the photos on my hands with a dumbstruck

Eric's POVWhen Laura had told me Aaron manipulated her with those fake evidences of me killing her father, I was befuddled, and angry. The nerve of him to step in here and use her against my will.To be honest, that night until this date, I never knew the man who worked at the motel was her father... Never for once, did I thought of that.First thing tomorrow, I'll be meeting Aaron. I don't care whatever he has to offer, I need a serious confrontation.I took Laura to bed after she complained of getting stressed out and exhausted. Likewise, I understood her, I understood the pain I must have inflicted on her. It ached my heart to remember that I was the one who cut her father's life short.After luring her to bed, I silently left the room to have a glass of water when Larry came up to me.“Oh, Larry! You startled me!” I framed by chest in awe, and he chuckled, settling to go to the refrigerator.“Sorry if I did. I've been meaning to talk to you since I got back here. Nice house you g

Aaron's POVI was utterly surprised when I saw Eric at my mansion quite early. What a pleasant visit, wasn't it? After manipulating Laura to believe all the proofs I presented to her, I knew he must be here to say words against it and I'm more than ready for him.“Really? You think this is a sudden visit?” He trudged a little closer to me. I smirked, dipping my hands into my pants pocket. I was definitely enjoying the angry look on his face. We're just getting started, Eric Sloan. I'll surely make you crumble into pieces.“Of course. Never for once, did I think someone like you will come over here to see me,” I replied, averting my gaze to Bella who instantly looked away before scurrying out of our sight. Of course, she should leave if she would rather not see my other side so early.“You know, you are right. Neither did I think I'll be here as well, but I'm just here for a little confrontation,” He slurred.I smiled, enjoying where this conversation was heading to.“Confrontation, hu

Laura's POVThe next morning I had woken up, Eric was nowhere around and both Larry and Sasha told me he had gone to the company. But something in me told me he didn't only go to work but might as well gone to have a word with Aaron. He told me last night that he would meet with him, but I was against it.Tremors hovered under my feet as I tightened my hands on my laps, staring at Larry as he ate quietly from his meal, pinning me occasionally with a look that I knew he was worried about me or why I had avoided eating.I just felt worried. I had the instinct’s something was going to happen. Likewise, I just don't know what would happen, but I had the guts it's going to be bad—Something we didn't expect. Aaron had asked me to give him a call after I'm done confirming things and siding with Eric, I hadn't gotten back to him and something stirred in me telling me the outcome was not going to be good. Now I was scared, scared of Aaron, scared for Eric and my Mother. Who's the mastermind ke

Laura's POVThe woman who I guessed was Mrs. Corazon smiled at Sasha and gosh, she looked so much like Eric. Wait… Was she his Mum?!“How're you doing, Sasha? You've grown all bigger than I am, uh?” She joked sillily and Sasha snorted, helping her get inside the house.I cleared my throat, stylishly gawking at Larry who felt uncomfortable with my stares as he looked over at the woman who was approaching us.Jeez. Stay calm, Laura. You can do this, she's just Eric's Mum. She can be nice. NICE? But the Sloan's are cold? She might be as well. Maybe she's here to confront me to leave like Agatha did. I reached up, grabbing my chin in a sigh. The woman reached to where we were and cleared her throat, posing like a model with tanned skin glowing, her eyes flickering, her hair rolled professionally. Damn, this woman screamed wealthiness and riches. No wonder Eric adores her, but I doubt if Mr. Landon did, he's always a hard man.“You must be Laura, Eric told me lots about you,” The woman fl

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
The Unexpected Marriage Deal Chapter 131
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

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
