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
Laura's POV“Thank you, Sasha.” I smiled at Sasha after she helped me with the meals. Since I returned from the hospital with Eric, I haven't even gotten the strength to take a tour around the house or go downstairs to eat. Whenever I try to, I always felt heavy with throbbing legs. Sasha has been my aid all through, Eric was absent, work's taking a toll on him.“It's nothing ma'am, you need to take care of yourself as you are not yet strong enough.” She replied, holding the hem of her dress and I smiled.“That's so nice of you, Sasha.” I purred, staring at her as I dug into my meal. Sasha was so kind, I shouldn't be suspicious of her like I'd been recently. The only thing was that she acts weird at times but let's not think about that now that she's being nice.“Since Sir Eric isn't home, it's my duty to take care of you,” Sasha grinned at me, and I didn't understand what sought of grin she had, but I just laughed it off. “I still have Larry, and Mrs Corazon. You shouldn't bother yo
Laura's POVI didn't know where I'd got the guts to spew such news at Eric, and unable to stare at him in the eyes, I continued fiddling with my fingers and nibbling on my lips as my heart kept racing fast in my chest. Eric stood, paused for a while before clearing his throat. “What did you just say, Laura?” He demanded, and I almost flinched.Oh, God. What would be my fate? Was this the end for me? Rena's plan isn't going as planned.Eric walked to and fro, ruffling his hair. “Don't make me repeat myself again to you, Laura. What did I just hear from you?” My lips parted to reply to him. “I'm pregnant,” I dropped the bombshell once more. I expected him to bash at me and call me harsh names like he'd used to, but instead he pulled me to sit on the edge of the bed, shocking me to the bones as I gazed at him.“You need to rest more than ever. I don't want anything happening to my child,” He muttered, maintaining an intense eye contact with my already clouded eyes. I sucked in a deep
