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.

    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.

    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

    Sasha's POVI was working with Eva in the kitchen when my phone started ringing in my apron. Jeez. I nearly flinched knowing the fact that it might be him calling.I glanced at Eva to see her stylishly shooting me glares while her hands on the chopper.“Won't you answer that?” She asked, referring to the phone that was already in my hands and I just smiled awkwardly.“Oh yeah, actually I'm going to take this. I'll be back,” I replied almost immediately before walking out of the kitchen, making sure she doesn't follow me until I got to a particular place I knew no one would eavesdrop on me.And right now, I am being on a call with Aaron as he ordered me to be his eyes and ears and I couldn't believe my ears. I knew I'd given those files to him, but I didn't expect it to go to this extent. I saw the posts made on Laura's blog site but immediately, I noticed that they got deleted. That must be the reason there was anger in his voice.“Are you sure you want me to do that? You might be put

    Laura's POVI noticed someone was at the door when the door handle twisted from the inside, causing me to shift my gaze from Eric to the door.“What is it?” His deep voice sent shivers down my spine as he stared in the direction I was looking at—The door.Someone was obviously standing there.“I think someone's at the door.” I muttered, dragging my feet to see whoever was at the door and the moment I opened it, I saw Sasha before me, showing of her prefect dentition.What the fuck!Couldn't she possibly knock so we'd be aware of her presence?My face formed a small smile to hide my disapproval upon seeing her. “Hi, Sasha. Were you at the door for so long?” I couldn't stop myself from asking when Eric came behind me, obviously staring at her.She bowed slightly upon seeing him and for some reason, I found my eyes rolling. “No. I haven't been at the door. I just got here, ma'am.” She replied sharply and I nodded, lifting a brow.Okay, this was suspicious.“What do you need, Sasha?” Eric

Besides, I know alot about it and I can say you're overreacting. You should get a good sleep, don't you think?” He asked, grinning at me and I frowned.“Fuck you.” I mouthed.He gasped. “Did my sister just say use swear words? What!” He gasped again, covering his mouth like it was something new while I just rolled my eyes.“Whatever.” I muttered, trying to open up and eat even though I knew I couldn't because I kept thinking about my calendar month. I knew I didn't miss last time and now, I thought I'd seen it, but that's when realization struck me that I hadn't really seen it.Oh, gosh. Let it not be what I'm thinking.Was it the reason I had been throwing up recently? “No, it can't be. Just stop thinking about it, Laura.” I blurted out before I could stop myself, earning a look from my brother.“What? Don't look

    Eric's POVAs we stepped into the elevator, I noticed Laura's expression. She looked like someone who would tear up any moment but was trying to stop herself. I literally heard the murmurs from the side angles about her, but I chose to act numb. It was useless trying to clarify them anyway. And that's why I decided to throw a meeting with the press—To clarify things to them. Until now, Tyler couldn't still track whoever had done that to me. I knew for sure it wasn't Laura, and for some reason I didn't understand why I trusted her, but I did anyway. No harm, right?As soon as we came out of the elevator, we were welcomed by flashing cameras clicking everywhere and there. The press were hovering around us to listen to whatever we had to say but I just interlock my fingers with that of Laura's, heading to my office where Tyler was.“Hey, bro!” He called almost immediately he saw me walked in, but his expression changed as soon as he saw Laura who flashed him an awkward smile.He stared

    Laura's POVI didn't realize Tyler and Eric would be this close until I witnessed their little show in Eric's office before Eric took me to the meeting room. To be sincere, I felt the pounding in my chest as I walked past the crowd of press trying to hover around us. Thankfully, Eric held me in place.I was once a journalist, but I never really liked being the talk of the day. That last time I did that which was humiliating Eric's name, I regretted it and promised myself never to show up in such kind of situation again but here I was, back to another similar situation.To another nightmare, my eyes wandered to the direction Eric was glaring at, Aaron. Aaron was here as well? What was he doing here?“Eric,” I called lowly, trying to make him realize he'd been staring at him for too long. Eric turned to me and nodded softly before resting on his chair. I could still see him glaring at Eric.I guessed this was a meeting for most powerful men and that's why Aaron was involved. That's what

    Aaron's POVEric has won this round, he won't win the next round. No way will I let that happen. I must say, he really got a sharp tongue to twist his words to the press, even to prove to the others. I came here through the help of the few people I had my ways with in the company. Furthermore, I received an information Eric was to be meeting with the press and that's why I came to watch physically, and he really got away with this one.“Right, Laura?” I asked again when Laura seemed to be lost in something she seemed to be thinking, making me crease my brows.What was she thinking about?“Laura? Are you okay?” I watched Eric touch her shoulders as she asked and I scoffed silently.“I never knew this was real after all. I thought we were all fooling the press,” I added with a smirk, enjoying the look on their faces.I was clearly aware that Eric lured Laura into a fake marriage because of what she did to him. But I think this marriage of a thing was beginning to turn into a real thing

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

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

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

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

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

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
