Sasha's POVI gritted through my teeth, clenching and unclenching my hands as I stared out of the window in my room —The quarters I was in.From where I stood, I could see her having fun time with him —Eric, which only got me more annoyed every day, they lived happily and forget their problems while I only get bittered and bittered every damned day.Nothing worked fine —Nothing's fine.Too bad for them, they didn't know what was coming for them. They'd get their taste of medicine. I will do everything to make sure they crumble, crumble on their feet until Aaron devours them and feeds their bones to the animals.Late last year, he didn't remember. He forgot like usual. How he got drunk and half-raped my sister. I swore to get my revenge, and only since then have I been getting closer to him. I was aware of his insides and out. Likewise, I was aware of everything he does. Even his business.Getting closer to him has always been my game, the lies I told, how much I pretended to care—Gosh
Sasha's POVAt once, I turned to her, glancing down at the black gloves which were starting to reveal themselves on my palms.“Oh this…” I trailed with an awkward smile whilst she anticipated for my response.“It's nothing. I just wore it since it's a bit cold. Don't mind me, ma'am. I can be silly at times,” I laughed nervously, expecting her to smile or laugh, but she just nods at me suspiciously before walking away.Phew! That was close. I almost got caught. Thankfully she didn't see me coming out from Eric's study, if not, it could have been more suspicious.I've always known she's been getting suspicious of me, and I didn't really care. I just couldn't wait to show them my true colors, but I was waiting for Aaron's call, I wanted to see them crumble first before I admit to them who I truly am.Furthermore, I rushed to my room, making sure no eyes were on me as I rushed to change in something new. I was to be meeting with Aaron since I've gotten my hands on a few of some files. But
Eric's POVIt's been two weeks since Mum came over to the mansion and since then, she's kept visiting. I guess building a bond with Laura at least. I loved it, and today, Agatha was going to be travelling out of the country, I was the one driving her to the airport.“I don't still understand why you're leaving, Agatha.” I groaned, rubbing my eyes as I tried to stay clear on the road that led to the airport.She shrugged her shoulders, gluing her eyes to her phone, and I scoffed. Was she giving me that attitude? How kinky and rude.“Agatha,” I sneered again, simmering with anger.She always finds a way to annoy me—I've come to know of that.“Nothing. I've already given you my reasons, Eric. I'm just going on a vacation, I'm bored with staying in America. Who knows? Maybe I'll find my other half in Paris.” She snorted at her joke, and I rolled my eyes.“Haha. How funny.” I sighed, and she glared.“How sarcastic.” She replied in the same tone I used, and I chuckled, shaking my head. Soon
Eric's POVI stared dumbstruck at Tyler who kept glaring at me with blazing eyes. No, it can't be. I can't still believe it's her. How could she do this?Was I really starting to trust her too much that I'd get hurt if she slanders me?“Do you hear yourself out, man? You're at the risk of loosing everything that belongs to you! And to worsen it, when your Dad gets to find out.”I gritted through my teeth. “Don't just sit and bark at me, Tyler. I need you to do something with this, you always have a way.” I replied, brushing my hair frustratedly with my fingers.“Yes, I have a way, and I'm stating one of the ways for you. I suggest you ask Laura, or still question her to the core then about all these, you don't have to worry. I'll delete them, so your Dad won't have any ideas. Likewise, I'm just not sure about the public though, we'll have to trace it down but not without Laura proving herself, man.” Tyler explained, standing up to leave, while I just nodded. I was too shocked even to
Laura's POVFilthy liar? Shock registered in my expression as I stared at Eric who was glaring all daggers at me. I couldn't believe he actually pushed me that I almost fell on the couch and even called me a liar… Not just a liar, but a filthy one.Nevertheless, I stood back on my feet, but I didn't risk the action to move closer to him. Not in any chance.“Eric, what have gotten over you?” I heard Mrs. Corazon yelled from behind and that's when I realized she was with me a while ago. She must have heard his voice.Eric averted his eyes to her as she approached my side. I quickly cleaned the tears that threatened to fall out of my eyes. Thank goodness Larry wasn't nearby, he was in his room. I wouldn't have to want him to see me this way.“Why don't you ask her that instead? What have gotten into her!” Eric yelled at me, causing Mrs. Corazon to glance at me.“I don't understand what you're talking about,” I managed to reply, my voice low and calm from the shock of his action. Eric sco
Laura's POV“Oh. You want him to get some space?” Larry asked just to be sure he heard correctly and I nodded, forcing him a smile which I knew it'd be weird when I wasn't really okay myself.I could still feel the unknown person's gaze, I felt it but I couldn't tell the direction it was converging from. But whoever it was, was in this house. Watching us.“What are you looking at?” Larry asked again, turning to the direction I was gazing at, but like me, he didn't see anyone.He faced me again. “I think you also need some rest. You're starting to imagine things,” He gave me a weird look like I was somehow going insane and I just rolled my eyes, nodding my head in agreement.“Yes, I think I have to. Maybe I'm just seeing things.” I replied to him. “And Mrs Corazon? Has she gone back?” Larry suddenly inquired and my eyes bulged out, realizing I'd left her sight, chasing after Eric.“I left her downstairs. She must be alone.” I mumbled, feeling the urge to go after her.“I don't think s
Eric's POVPacing to and fro in my room, I couldn't stop the guilt that eventually filled me. It's been up to 10 minutes I have been pacing around, still contemplating on what to do and guilt of how I asked Laura to let me be ate me whole.I shouldn't have shunned her. I should have listened to her and hear her out. She said she couldn't do that, and somehow, some part of me believed her. I knew she wouldn't do that to me.“I've been so stupid.” I cursed myself, running my fingers into my hair as I paused and stared at my reflection in front of the mirror.Dad has told me to fix this and I'll fix it. I just can't let anyone ruin our name. And whoever had done that disastrous thing, will surely pay.My phone started chiming in my pants and I retrieved it to see Tyler calling. Finally, some good answers. I guessed.“Hello, Ty? Any good response?” I asked almost immediately.“I've gotten everything blocked, no one can view anything, not even the person who uploaded them. And how about yo
Aaron's POVI had thought I did well, everything went according to how I planned them but no, I just realized everything went stupidly, against my accord.Whoever had deleted those posts on Laura's blog site must be dealt with. I won't stop until I see all of them crumble, including Laura, unless she succumbs to me.Earlier, after meeting with Sasha, I had Brandon to help me hack into Laura's blog site, even though I didn't tell him what I was going to do. I simply uploaded the files Sasha had given to me, and I watched as it went viral. Recently, I returned home to check my masterpiece again only to be confirmed by Laura that they have been deleted when I called her as an anonymous person.What the hell!I wanted to ruin Eric. I promised to ruin him and that's what I will certainly do, either ways. Not only that, but I didn't care any limits I have to go, all I know is I'll see him crumble one day together with his so-called family.“He shouldn't achieve greater things than me. Dammi
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
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
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
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
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
