The Unexpected Marriage Deal Chapter 8
ERIC“Alright, Dad.” I mumbled, hanging up on the call I had been on with Dad for the past 30 minutes. Dad had called to inform me on his ceremonial event, and he wanted to see my supposed girlfriend I'd claimed to the press. How things gets spread like wildfire these days is overwhelming.“What did he say?” My friend, Tyler asked from behind me and I sighed deeply, sliding my swivel chair to seat. “Nothing new. He just wants to see my girlfriend so he's coming up with an event party.” Tyler's pupils dilated as he stared at me, utterly surprised. “What?” I asked, my voice solemn.“Did you just call her your girlfriend?” He asked in awe and that's when it dawned on me that I had just called that newscaster of a lady, girlfriend. I smacked my head, sweeping my hair backwards in annoyance. Damn, how much I loathed that bitçh.“No.” I denied, quirking my brows at him. I could tell Tyler wasn't convinced by my response, but he decided not to bulge which I loved.“So, you'll be going to g

LAURAWell, I was perfectly dressed up in the dress Eric had sent to me. The hairstylist did an impressive job as well, and I'd say it's a hundred over ten for her. I was still mesmerizing about myself and what I'd tell Rena when she calls next time when the honks of a car sounded outside my apartment, leading me to rush out hastily. That must be him. I would rather not get on his bad side tonight or so. He's cold, mean and acts like a jerk, but I must say, at times he treats me nicely as a lady deserved.But to my surprise, that wasn't him like I expected but instead, the same driver who had taken Eric and I to my place the other time showed up.“Good evening, ma'am. Sir Eric asked me to bring you to his place.” The gent said politely, showing off his perfect dentition and I managed a smile at him.“Okay,” Was all I muttered before entering into the car as he drove us away. In due time, he pulled to a stop in front of a beautiful mansion that I was forced to let out a wow at the gor

LAURAWhat?Did I just hear clearly? I knew I shouldn't be expecting much when I was one of the reason for all this that was happening. Eric mentioned to me that all this, all our acting, our shows to the public were just for a year... And we'll break up.My lips parted, but my eyes said otherwise. Something I couldn't decipher as I muttered, “Fine then..I can't wait to get out of your trap, Mr. Eric Sloan.” I responded, even though my mouth felt at the words I just spewed. Eric let out an Irish grin at me as we approached where some guests were in the round table. My eyes suddenly met Agatha's and I earned a cold daring glare from her as I sat almost close to Eric.“Good evening all of you.” Eric exchanged pleasantries to them, exchanging handshakes and smile. Gosh, Eric Sloan does smile? Wow. Someone pinch me.I kept dragging the short red dress I wore which screamed luxurious, uncomfortable at Agatha's cold glares. Only if eyes could kill someone, I'm sure she would have done almo

LAURAIt was finally, finally the D-Day of the wedding. I wouldn't say my wedding because I was against it. Minutes ago, Eric had called to ask if I was ready. They were waiting for me at the cathedral.I stood in front of the huge mirror, staring at my reflection. I wouldn't deny the fact that this dress looked so expensive to its taste, but the tears that fell from the corners of my eyes threatened to ruin my makeup. Seriously, who does wedding this way? A wedding where none of your relatives or your guardians knows nothing about. My mind reeled with different thoughts about Mum and my brother, Eric tried to blackmail me using my brother's face on another guy on Harvard College and now I was sure he's doing alright since I'm giving in into his demand.“Mum, I hope you're safe,” I mumbled to myself. Rena kept calling, but I couldn't answer. Not without guilt eating me up. I couldn't even bring myself to tell her about all this. All what I was doing.My phone rang again. It was the

ERICThroughout the night of our honeymoon, I noticed Laura was distancing away from me. What! Was there something in how I looked or how was I towards her? Was I being cold?I glanced over at Laura at the dinning table to see her staring at me. Though it was awkward now that the public believed we're married and we'd be living in the same house.Yeah, it was weird.“How do you see the meals, Sir Eric?” Sasha, my maid asked when she came to me, causing me to lift my eyes to her.“Oh, right. They are sumptuous, Sasha.” I flashed her a smile and she smiled. Sasha was the head maid, and unlike the other maids, she's the only one whom I trusted things around with anytime I was absent, even back in my mansion. She's one of those close to me.As Sasha walked past Laura's seat, I could sense the uncomfortable aura coming from Laura when Sasha left the dining room for us.“What? You aren't cool with her?” Laura glanced up at me when I ask. Did I forget to mention her large eyes looked beautif

LAURAEric's jaw dropped at my words, I rolled my eyes, and uncaged myself from his hold. Yeah, I said all that. Someone has to put this jerk of a husband in his position. “You, bitch!” Eric sneered at me while I gave an involuntary groan. I was tired, stressed out of everything, but I couldn't stop wondering about how Mum must be doing.“Eric..” I faced him almost immediately to meet his hard glare on me. I gulped, “Do you perhaps know how my brother is doing?” I would rather not ask but I did anyway.Eric scoffed at me, raking his fingers into his hair. Gosh, Laura, you must have spoken so harsh to him. But he deserved it, right? “Yes, maybe. I don't know,” My eyes widened. “What do you mean?”“Yes, he is alright. He's still schooling.” I heard him scoff again and my mind relaxed. I sighed softly, “Will you, uh, excuse me? I need to get dressed,” I bit my lower lip hard seeing how his eyes wandered around my body like he was trying to convince himself about something. After much

LAURA“Something came up?” I asked before I could stop myself. Eric sneered and responded.“Can you just stop asking questions? Don't add to it, will you? I just said we need to leave and that's final!” He half yelled and walked away. Must he always be in a bad mood?I trudged back to the mansion, preparing to leave like he ordered. Eric sent for Flynn to come pick us up. We both sat in the living room, prepared to leave but none of us said a single word. Eric just fixated his gaze on his iPad as usual, while I just sat and nibble on my lips, praying silently for time to go by fast.Car honks suddenly sounded from outside, and Eric stood up almost immediately, heading for the door.Flynn was here!“Let's go,” He muttered coldly and finally left. I got to the door and turned back to glance at the house. Sasha wasn't around.“Laura!” Eric's yell made me rush out this time. I would rather not keep getting on his bad side all the time. He seemed so stressed out from what I've seen. Oh, r

ERICA while ago, when I was outside the terrace before we disembarked to the mansion, Tyler had called to discuss something about Larry, Laura's brother. I couldn't bring myself to share it with her because I knew how worried she'd turn out.Laura and I returned back home. Agatha was around, I saw her car parked in the driveway, but I was too focused on getting to the office on time. Few minutes later, my car screeched to a stop as I head towards the elevator riding to the second storey that detected my office.“Good day, Sir.” Lillian, my PA greeted when she beheld me. I flashed her a small smile as I walked into my office and as usual, Tyler was waiting.He stood up at once when he saw me walk in. “Bro!”“What's wrong, Tyler? I had to return almost immediately after you called.” I stated, my palms heating up. “You could have just trusted me to deal with it. It's your honeymoon, nothing was supposed to ruin it.” Tyler huffed grimly, and I scoffed, slanting to my swivel chair.“Tyl

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
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

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
