Laura's POV

“What are you doing, Sasha?” I asked as Sasha kept sniffing, tension suddenly growing in the room until the entrance door burst open behind us and Agatha walked in.

“Laura! Thank goodness you're back!” She exclaimed, widening her hands to give me a hug and I responded.

Sasha used the opportunity to clean her face as she stood up, flashed me a smile and then scurried away.

Eric glanced at me before disappearing out of our sight too. I guessed he had something to fix with his company or so.

My eyes returned to Agatha, who kept searching my eyes and body as if looking for something. “You don't even look like someone who just arrived from the hospital,” She drawled, pulling me to one of the couches.

My eyes wandered around again, my fingers fiddling against one another. I haven't seen Larry around yet.

“Laura,” Agatha's voice brought me back to present. “Um, I'm alright. The Doctor said I just need to be careful with my health, that's not a big deal,” I told her, managing a s

    Sasha's POVI eavesdropped on Laura's conversation with Agatha who decided to act like the sister-in-law no one ever heard. Oh gosh, so annoying that I rolled my eyes. Thankfully, none of them could see me not until Laura noticed someone was watching her. Me-I swiftly hid in the dark, finding another way as I made my way to her, causing her to almost flinch.Laura was getting suspicious of me and I needed to do something to prevent her from getting too suspicious, but just then, a voice came from behind me.“Larry!” Laura exclaimed, her eyes glistening immediately she recognized the voice and I turned to see it was Larry, cocking his brows as his eyes met with mine. This two people were just a pain in the ass for me and I needed to deal with them before they ruin my plans.“What's going on? Is there something wrong?” He asked, still staring between us.“I...” I made to say something, but Laura cut me off. “Oh, nothing went wrong. I was just speaking with Sasha, right, Sash?” Laura

    Sasha's POVWhat the hell was he planning to do now? I just prayed it won't be something too risky. Who was Aaron without risk anyway? He'd always choose the part of risk rather than safety.My hands glided to rub my temple as I sighed in relief. I made to turn and leave again when my phone started to vibrate once more in my apron.“Who the hell is...” I paused, seeing it was Bella calling. A grin appeared on my lips. Why was she calling?“Are you finally going to reconsider what I told you the last time?” I said on the phone and she returned with a scoff from the receiver. “If you're going to be scoffing on the phone, why then did you call?” I almost snapped at her but I held back. Getting caught now wasn't one of the things in my list that I planned to do. At least not now, not anytime.“We need to meet,” She stated from the other end.“We need to meet? What do you have to say that can't be said over the phone?” Came my retort and she sighed. “There's much to say. I'm starting to

    Sasha's POV“Hurry up! Or don't tell me you've been caught?” Bella's voice came again and another scoff left me. “I bet you wish, but that's never going to happen. You got caught once, doesn't say the same for me,” I replied, rolling my eyes as I slide into my cargo pants. “Cut the crap, don't pin this on me. And don't be too sure you don't have someone keeping an eye on you in there. There's Laura right? I'm sure she's smarter than you'd predicted,” Bella yapped over the phone.“Still, you wish. I'm stuck here, it isn't easy going out without this pesky people having their eyes on me. It's like they're starting to suspect me,” I said, gritting through my teeth. Bella laughed from the other end like something was funny, stirring anger in me more.“Nothing is funny, cut out the laughter!” I snapped at her, unable to stop myself. “I told you they surely might be keeping an eye on you currently, and you may not be aware. You're not the only cunning person, you know?” She responded.“T

    Aaron's POV“Hey, get up!” One of the inmates kicked me out of my silent state as the corp opened the cell. “You could have just inform me rather than kicking me,” I grumbled, mumbling under my breath as I stood up, walking behind them. For the past few days, I've been here, I had learned the hard way, sincerely. I've been getting along with my cellmates even though there always come a time of rift and heated arguments between us, but I've come to realized they weren't as bad as I pictured them to be after all. They've been to my rescue whenever I was getting bullied by the other inmates during the training ground or while eating, they've been there to act like friends. I couldn't believe I was making friends while in prison. Fuck it!“Where are we going?” I decided to ask one of them who was beside me. “I think they are taking us to the trial ground to train,” He replied solemnly.I chuckled and said, “They train while in prison? These corps are just hilarious!”“It's for protecti

I would be lying to myself if I say I wasn't using my company to kill time. I badly wanted to forget about Aaron's threats of returning or whom must have poisoned Laura and tried to kill her and our baby, but I couldn't just forget about it even though I tried to go for different business meetings and conferences.“Dammit,” I cursed, sending a fist straight into a wall and blood started to gush out, but that wasn't part of my problems for the meantime. My friend, Tyler, walked in. “Eric, what the heck, man?!” He whisper-yelled, dropping off what he brought along with him and walking to my side.“You're bleeding, and you're still trying to hurt

    Laura's POVI stood amazed, watching Agatha's piece of art. It was a masterpiece of me that she had done when she was in her leisure time. I couldn't stop laughing anytime I glanced at the frame.I hadn't realized she's got gift in crafting until recently.“You're awful at appreciating someone. Are you supposed to be thanking me or just laughing at me?” She scoffed, resting on a chair.“I'm laughing because it's surprising and funny at the same time. Never mind me, Agatha. I appreciate your work, it's alluring.” I smiled at her.“Are you saying this to please me now?” She retorted, rolling her eyes, and I was tempted to laugh again. Spending time with Agatha for the few days I've been with her was full of life. She's full of life and funny. How come I was just realizing that?“Of course no. Why would I do that? I promise, I'm making this from the heart. Thank you for such a masterpiece, I'll place it in my room,” I said to her, holding the frame in my hands as I glanced at the art pi

    Laura's POV“What do you mean he looks like a real baboon?” I asked, utterly surprised at Agatha who stopped walking before turning to look at me.“He lacks manner. He couldn't even get up and help me get a sit. Instead, he sat still and kept smiling like a fool at me. I was pissed off. That's why I hate fake dating, Laura! They are a bunch of morons!” She snapped at me.Aft first, I couldn't control my laughter, and then I gave a serious look, trying to act concerned despite I felt an urge to laugh again. Agatha was really something else.“Now I see why you can't get a man. You shouldn't have left him that way, Agatha. It's just a simple thing. Maybe he thought you'd get a sit yourself. That isn't a big deal,” I argued, splaying my hands, and she scoffed, rubbing her eyes.“Let's just go home. I'm not going back to that baboon,” She hissed loudly and I snorted. “Is he really a baboon or handsome?” I insisted on knowing, my lips curling in a silly smirk. I was enjoying this game we we

    Laura's POV“Bella?” I called, utterly shocked as it came like a blow to my face. What was Bella doing with Eric?I knew of their past so well, and I knew how he would never want to cross path with her so why now of all time? I glanced at Eric to see him lying on the car trunk drunkenly. God, he was wasted. I'm sure he wouldn't realize what he had just done till next morning. My eyes met hers again. “What do you mean by my husband is nice?” I retorted, raising my voice a bit higher. Bella smiled knowingly, showing off her freckles as she bit her lips hard.Was this woman trying to act seductive to me right now? For Christ’s sake, wasn't she pregnant? Or was the child for Eric?Gosh, difference thoughts kept reeling through my mind as I tried hard not to believe what I was thinking. No, it couldn't be. Eric loathed her after she cheated on him, but the question was, was he the father of her baby or Aaron?‘Don't think too much, Laura.’ I thought, still waiting for Bella's response as

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
