Laura's POV

The ringing of my phone made me finish my bath quickly. It was the anonymous caller ID. Instantly, I felt the rise and fall in my chest, my heart palpitations increasing as I felt like I'd explode anytime soon.

Why was he calling now?

I picked up my phone with shaky hands, my lips quivering as I patted my lips and said. “H-Hello?”

A laughter came from the background. A kind of laughter my ears perked up to recognize. It sounded familiar, but I wouldn't predict just yet.

“It's so nice to have this conversation with you again, Laura Karma,” Came my anonymous caller's voice which only made me to tremble more.

No matter how hard I tried to hold back the tears that threatened to obstruct my vision, I couldn't bring myself to bear it anymore.

“W-Where's my Mum? Bring her back to me!” I screamed, mustering the courage to speak up and he laughed again.

“You know, it's so funny how you never learn from your mistakes, Laura. A simple instruction, you wouldn't follow. You keep going

    Aaron's POV“You need to come alone,” I said in a husk voice, grinning widely at the woman who was before me, tears leaking out of her eyes.It gave me joy seeing her teary. I loved it whenever she cries and screams for help that she can never get.Laura's mother.Laura has been so stupid to never recognize this voice. For months, she still hasn't found out who was the owner of this voice. Despite how I spoke effortlessly, she never ceased to amaze me with her stupidity.So sluggish in learning.Yuck, that sucks.I heard her sniff. I knew she must be in tears, and it made me more ecstatic.“Why do I need to come alone?” She asked after so much deafening silence of no chats between us, and I groaned in return.“Will you stop asking me questions and listen to my instructions? You're such a lousy mouse, and if you keep tasting my patience this way, I might end up killing your damn mother!” I texted, already burning with anger.“No... Don't touch her. Please don't touch my Mum. I will do

    Sasha's POV“Is it done?” I asked Aaron as he strode in, all sweaty.“She wasn't so easy to get, such a hard time,” He blew it off, going to sit on an armless chair.“Was this your plan all along?” I asked, unable to stop myself from asking.“What's your problem, Sasha? Are you backing out of this now?” He yelled at me.“I'm not backing out of anything, Aaron! I was simply asking if this was your plan all along? To kidnap her?” I retorted.“Yes, it was part of my plan to track her down. And now that I have her, I'm never letting her go until Eric succumbs to me. He will surely go crazy when he finds out his darling wife is nowhere to be found,” He replied and stood up again as he walked over to the cellar, bringing out a pomegranate martini.“Cheers to a new level,” “Cheers,” I smiled slowly. This wasn't the time for celebration. Aaron had just created chaos. This wasn't part of our plan to kidnap her. Though, I never liked Laura, but we hadn't planned it this way. I knew what fate

    Eric's POVI stared at the corps, unable to move from my spot. “What do you mean by Laura has gone missing?” I inquired, quirking my brows at them. My eyes slide to Agatha and Sasha then back to them.“That was the same information we got, and that's why we request you to come with us, Mr Eric,” One of them said firmly.I scoffed, rubbing my fingers on my chin. “Which information? Who told you that!” I snapped at them.What bullshit were they talking about?I left Laura home with Sasha so why the heck were they saying she has gone missing? Who took her?“Sasha, where is Laura? Take me to her now! These corps are insane!” I glared at Sasha. “Sir...”What?“Sasha!”“The corps are right, Eric. I think she's missing,” Agatha interjected sardonically. “You are just ridiculous. She might be in her room,” I shook my head, finding it difficult to believe she had gone missing.Again, who took her?Obviously, no one would get past those amount of securities into the house and take her!

    Eric's POVPlan 1 halfway ruined.Aaron was smart enough to get away from that one.My eyes peered to Brandon who looked restless as he swept his hair with his fingers, still keeping tabs on Aaron that was on the speaker.“What if we lured you to answer this call? Does that change anything?” I replied to him. “Nice try, Eric.” He smirked. “You're out of prison, why aren't you coming for me?” I continued, scarring my brows. I wanted him to say it himself. Though I didn't have proof of him capturing Laura, but I wanted to clear my doubts by making him fall into my court.“Come for you? What if I said I've already started that?” He snickered from the speaker and I scoffed. “How? I'm still yet to believe that you're out of there. Nice skill you've got, Aaron Walker.” I taunted, gritting my teeth in anger.“Yeah, nice skill I've got. Want to hear more surprise?” He retorted with a question. I curved my brows, swallowing the lump that formed in my throat as I parted my lips.“What other

    Eric's POV“You're seriously bleeding, Agatha. We need to call the doctor,” I concluded, trying to pull back towards the house, but she resisted, still bent on saying something.She looked shocked. Like she had received the most shocking thing in her life. For the first time, my sister appeared fragile and speechless as I paused, waiting for her to say whatever she had to say to me. “She... She...”I sighed and rubbed my eyes, exhausted. “Let's get you inside first, and relax, then you speak.” I countered, forcing her back to the house. After so much resistance, she nodded and trailed behind me.Whatever my sister had seen was indeed traumatizing that left her numb.I wondered what happened to Sasha.“Eva,” I summoned the maid, Eva almost immediately and ordered to bring in the first aid kit. Agatha hated Doctors, she hated the smell of hospitals so calling on the doctor would be rendered useless.“Here you go, Sir.” She returned and handed me the kit. I turned to Agatha, who kept g

    Aaron's POV“Is it done?” I asked her (Sasha) over the phone, my brows quirking enthusiastically. I was eager to hear the good news of having Eric behind bars. He needed to have a thirst of the same medicine he fed me with, but it was going to be a lot different because I'd make sure he rots in there.“Yes. I couldn't believe that was so easy. You should have seen the victory smile that danced on my lips,” She blabbered and I chuckled.“How does it feel now?” I croaked and she heaved a sigh of relief. “Your plan wasn't that bad. Eric Sloan is finally put behind bars. Now our plans will go smoothly as we've planned.“That's the Spirit,” “Um, I think I have to...”“Hey, Sasha!” Agatha?That sounded like Agatha's voice. I decided not to hang up on the call with Sasha, so I'd listen to what she had to spew.“Oh, if it isn't Agatha Sloan,” Came Sasha's voice. I was sure she was unaware that I was still on the phone with her.“What did we ever do to you, Sasha? Why did you lie to the corp

    Laura's POVI screamed at the intense pain that wracked down my spine and for a moment, I felt like I'd die. Aaron was a monster, a bloody one who wouldn't care even if I'd lost my life.I watched as he tucked his gun back to his pants before walking out of the deserted room.Blood oozed out of my mouth as I surveyed my environment. I was locked inside a room without a bed or other things except for the chair I was tied with.My face scrunched up as the pain kicked in again. No... Not my baby.“Stay strong for me, baby. I promise, we'll eventually get out of here.” I mumbled under my breath as I struggled to free up myself from the damned chair.I was still struggling until I heard a yelp which made me pause. My ear perked up at the owner of the voice which sounded recognizable.Someone was in here with me?Wait.... Aaron had another person to deal with the same way he was dealing with me?Pain crutched my chest as I thought of Eric. I was so senseless not to have given him a hint th

    Laura's POVI watched as Aaron's body stiffened as he slowly turned to face me again, that arrogant smirk still plastered on his face.“What did you just say?” He retorted, narrowing his eyes on me.“You clearly heard me right... I heard a scream, not once but twice.” I said to him, and he chuckled as he inched closer to me. Likewise, I was threatened to swallow the lump that formed in my throat that instant. “Oh, you heard? That's a good thing,” He replied after a deafening silence and for some reason, I sighed in relief. “Why is it a good thing?” I questioned, and furrowed my brows..If Aaron was my anonymous caller, that meant only one thing... My eyes bulged out of its socket for the millionth time... Then he has Mom?I returned my gaze to him and he grinned mischievously. “Has it dawned on you yet, or I still need to explain further?” He muttered, rubbing the bridge of his nose.“Wait... That means... No,” I paused as tears gathered in my eyes. No, that's unbelievable. Mom ca

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

    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

    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

    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
