Eric's POVI received a call from Tyler about the hints of the culprit and to my surprise, he figured out the only way to get the mastermind behind all these was to create another plan so we could use it to set him up. “You understand what I'm saying, Eric?” Tyler's voice from the other end cut me off from my heights of thoughts.“Yeah, yeah. But I'm still thinking which other way to know the real culprit,” I told him. “It's easy, we'll track the culprit down. Since Laura claimed she didn't do it, I'll just have to track which could be hectic.” Tyler said.“So what do you suggest I do?” I asked as I started walking upstairs to my room, walking past the hall when my eyes caught someone.“Sasha?” I called, stopping abruptly as Sasha flinched and quickly did something I didn't take note of.“S-Sir Eric,” I heard her stutter and I quirked my brows. This was odd. “Do you need anything? Why does it look like you were parading the hall as if something were bothering you?” I asked, totally
Eric's POV“Laura!!!” Larry and Sasha screamed in horror as we rushed to the scene she had fallen off. Thankfully it wasn't high up from where we stopped as she went unconscious.“Laura,” Larry murmured, staring at his sister in disbelief. I rushed to her side already hauling her in my arms.Damn, she's so stubborn.“I'll take her to the hospital. Look after the house,” I told Larry and Sasha.“What? I'll go with you too,” Larry cooed.“Don't be stubborn too, I'll just be with her. She's loosing blood, stay back Larry!” I snapped at him as I rushed to the driveway with Laura in my arms. God, I wouldn't forgive myself if anything happens to her.I didn't have enough time to call Flynn to take us to the hospital as I got into the driver's seat and drove past Larry and Sasha, taking Laura to a hospital.Whoever had pushed her to commit such a suicide of ending her own life will pay when I get him. This wasn't humane, this was absurd.“Open your eyes, Laura.” I cursed under my breath, acc
Aaron's POVThe first place I went to was my house, rushing inside, I ignored the maids who kept welcoming me with their greetings and also consciously past Bella who was about to welcome me.“Aaron, is there something wrong?” She asked as she followed after me. Why couldn't this woman leave me alone? Ignoring her, I got into my master room and started packing my things into different luggage.I needed to flee outside as soon as possible. Tyler and Eric were coming for me. The messages I sent Laura was enough hindrance to make them focus their attentions on her, and that's why I needed to leave with the earliest flight. If perhaps they'd found out I was the culprit, I knew I'd be down for, but I won't give up without a fight.“Aaron, why are you not saying anything? Why are you packing? Are we to leave the house? Tell me, is there something happening?!” Bella screamed at me.Holy hell!“Can't you just be quiet, woman?! Yes, you see I'm packing what does it look like I'm doing, Bella?!
Eric's POVFLASHBACK...Immediately after I left the hospital, rushing to Tyler's house after receiving the shocking news from him about Aaron being the culprit, I received a call from Bella crying and telling me Aaron planned to leave the country.“What do you mean they can't find him anywhere, Tyler?” I asked for the umpteenth time as he paced to and fro, trying to connect with the corps sent on Aaron's trail.I ran my hands through my hair. “Shit,” I cursed.“I think they lost him. They aren't responding to my calls,” Tyler replied still trying to get to them.“He shouldn't leave the country, he can't leave! He has to face me! Such a coward, the nerve of him.” I spat, roughening my hair. This whole thing was just insane. He couldn't even boldly show himself like how he used to, and now he was trying to escape? “I'm not sure if he'd be able to get to the airport on time, there are a lot of checkpoints on the road.” Tyler said, and I pinned him with a glare. “You don't know Aaron W
Laura's POV“She's currently resting, there's a probability she'd wake up sooner, Sir.”“Thank you, Doctor. I can go see her now, right?” “Yeah, sure. But please, don't tell her something that might put her in stress once more. She needs to take a rest, she isn't supposed to be stressing herself.”I kept hearing voices and sounds despite all I saw was darkness. My eyes were closed, I felt heavy, as if I couldn't move. My eyes fluttered open and shut themselves immediately. I managed slowly opening my eyes, to contain the rays of the light that plastered on the white ceiling. Groggily taking in my surroundings, I'm met with a blur of white and beeping machines. I glanced at the other side, I saw an IV set which it's content was empty. it was hung on a drip stand. My head pounded with a dull ache, and my mouth feels dry and sticky. I try to speak, but my voice is barely a whisper. I was lieng down on a soft bed. A strange smell hit me like a wave of nail polish remover, harsh and ove
Laura's POVMy jaw dropped in disbelief as I stared at the Doctor. “Doc... What?”I suddenly found myself speechless. Pregnant? I can't be pregnant! How did that happen?“Yes, Mrs Laura. The test conducted can't be wrong. Infact I did it a few times just to confirm,” The Doctor answered and tears gathered in my eyes as my hand located my tummy. I was pregnant? “Doc, how can you be sure about this? I mean...” I sniffled. “Did you tell my husband about this?” I asked instead, suddenly remembering Eric. I prayed he hasn't told him anything yet. Furthermore, I wouldn't want to disclose this to him until I'm ready.“Be rest assured, Mrs Laura. I waited for you to be conscious again, you're the first person I wanted to tell. I didn't tell him anything,” He assured me, and I smiled gratefully.“Thank you, Doc.” “Now, you need to get a lot of rest. During examining you, I observed that you're a strong thinker. Can you do me a favor and stop thinking? It might not do well to you since you're
Sasha's POVFor two consecutive days, I kept walking in fears. Fear of being monitored, fear of being watched on. I needed to be careful more than ever since Aaron has been put behind bars. I didn't hear from him after we conversed last time until I figured out with the news.Eric caught him? I still couldn't believe my eyes. Aaron fucking let Eric get to him, or he planned everything?“Sasha!” Someone snapped at me, darting me out of my thoughts. I flinched, holding my chest as I gawked at Mrs Corazon. I forgot we had been discussing earlier until I started thinking about Aaron.“Ah, M-Mrs Corazon.” I stuttered, finding my nape awkwardly.“Sasha, are you alright? You seemed lost earlier when I was talking,” Mrs Corazon said calmly. I glanced at the couch beside where she sat to see the groceries she'd bought.“I'm alright, Mrs Corazon,” I responded.“I don't think so. Is there something bothering you? You can share,” She flashed me a smile which I felt like slapping off her face, bu
Aaron's POVEric has done his part, he had succeeded in getting me behind bars like true to his word, then he should await mine in return. I wouldn't settle for less, he shouldn't think that way.Goddammit, I couldn't believe I was locked up in this hole with some imbeciles. I'm Aaron Walker, I don't deserve to stay in this slump of a cell. I still have a company to run, I still had other things to do. Thankfully, I have Sasha, I trust her to keep tabs on everything while I'm still finding my way out of here. One thing's for sure, I'm finding my way out of here, and I don't care how I'm going to get out. “Dammit,” I cursed, fiddling with my fingers as I tried to think of every possible way to leave this cell. I can't be known locked up in jail, that's a huge shame even to my business. No, I couldn't let that happen. I'm going to get back on my feet and take away everything that's precious to the Sloan.My fist folded tightly as I gritted my teeth. “Thry will pay for shaming me this w
