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
Eric's POV“Have a nice day, and thank you for your time, Mr. Dean,” I flashed a smile at the man in front of me as we exchanged handshakes.“It was nice having this meeting with you, Mr Eric,” Dean returned with a warm smile before walking out of my office.Exhaling, I sent my hands into the scalp of my hair as I paced to and fro in my office. 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
