Laura's POVAt first, I wanted to ignore Aaron's message and act like I didn't read a thing till his message popped in again.“Are you ignoring my message after reading?” The message read on his voice again and my face scrunch up at his demand. Why was he sounding so persistent and commanding? Like he was ruling me or something.Grudgingly, I found my way to the lobby and like he said, he was actually waiting there, staring at a particular direction —The poolside where Eric actually goes to swim or cool his head whenever he felt he couldn't disclose his problems to anyone, including me.He turned in my direction when he noticed I walked into the lobby, my body stiffened but I stood on my ground. I was going to let him treat me like I was his puppet.“What are you doing her, Aaron? Do you not realize the risk you'd be causing if Eric was actually here?” I blurted out angrily, and he smiled.“You get angry and paranoid too much, Laura. I think that's why he chose you, uh? And for the fa
Laura's POV“I can work with you to help you get your revenge, Laura. You deserve to get justice for your father's death and your Mum's abduction,” Aaron coaxed me. Tears ran down my cheeks as I shook my head unbelievably. I couldn't believe it... Eric killed my Dad? How? Is that even possible?“Laura...” Aaron tried to call. “I will think about this, Aaron. You can take your leave, and thanks for the information.” I said to him, glancing at the photos again and he nodded once.“If that's what you say, I'll respect your decision. Just please be careful about Eric, he isn't what he seems to be. If you're done consoling yourself, you can text or call me.” He replied, before turning to leave. I sighed softly, wiping the tears that had dried up on my face as I trod back into the house.I must have taken so long talking to Aaron because when I got back, Larry was already in the dinning room.“Sissy!” He exclaimed when he saw me. Absentmindedly, I strode past him, my mind still on what A
Laura's POVI stared at Eric with tears in my eyes, I couldn't even open up to reply him because I was choked with tears. Is this the truth? Why does it hurt so badly?Eric made to move closer to me, “Laura...”I shunned him not to move an inch closer, stopping my tears from trickling more. It wasn't clear to me why I was pouring out tears in his presence when I shouldn't. After I've decided not to make him see me cry or anyone else.“Laura, you aren't saying anything. I hate seeing that tears of yours, tell me if I did something wrong,” Eric's eyes softened, but I didn't bring myself to look him in the eyes. I knew what could happen next.“Really? You hate seeing my tears? Am I supposed to be sure about that, or you actually like seeing me cry and that's why you keep getting me hurt?” I replied bluntly, and he was rendered speechless for a while.“This…” I stretched out my hands to reveal to him the photos which were with me. He gazed down at the photos on my hands with a dumbstruck
Eric's POVWhen Laura had told me Aaron manipulated her with those fake evidences of me killing her father, I was befuddled, and angry. The nerve of him to step in here and use her against my will.To be honest, that night until this date, I never knew the man who worked at the motel was her father... Never for once, did I thought of that.First thing tomorrow, I'll be meeting Aaron. I don't care whatever he has to offer, I need a serious confrontation.I took Laura to bed after she complained of getting stressed out and exhausted. Likewise, I understood her, I understood the pain I must have inflicted on her. It ached my heart to remember that I was the one who cut her father's life short.After luring her to bed, I silently left the room to have a glass of water when Larry came up to me.“Oh, Larry! You startled me!” I framed by chest in awe, and he chuckled, settling to go to the refrigerator.“Sorry if I did. I've been meaning to talk to you since I got back here. Nice house you g
Aaron's POVI was utterly surprised when I saw Eric at my mansion quite early. What a pleasant visit, wasn't it? After manipulating Laura to believe all the proofs I presented to her, I knew he must be here to say words against it and I'm more than ready for him.“Really? You think this is a sudden visit?” He trudged a little closer to me. I smirked, dipping my hands into my pants pocket. I was definitely enjoying the angry look on his face. We're just getting started, Eric Sloan. I'll surely make you crumble into pieces.“Of course. Never for once, did I think someone like you will come over here to see me,” I replied, averting my gaze to Bella who instantly looked away before scurrying out of our sight. Of course, she should leave if she would rather not see my other side so early.“You know, you are right. Neither did I think I'll be here as well, but I'm just here for a little confrontation,” He slurred.I smiled, enjoying where this conversation was heading to.“Confrontation, hu
Laura's POVThe next morning I had woken up, Eric was nowhere around and both Larry and Sasha told me he had gone to the company. But something in me told me he didn't only go to work but might as well gone to have a word with Aaron. He told me last night that he would meet with him, but I was against it.Tremors hovered under my feet as I tightened my hands on my laps, staring at Larry as he ate quietly from his meal, pinning me occasionally with a look that I knew he was worried about me or why I had avoided eating.I just felt worried. I had the instinct’s something was going to happen. Likewise, I just don't know what would happen, but I had the guts it's going to be bad—Something we didn't expect. Aaron had asked me to give him a call after I'm done confirming things and siding with Eric, I hadn't gotten back to him and something stirred in me telling me the outcome was not going to be good. Now I was scared, scared of Aaron, scared for Eric and my Mother. Who's the mastermind ke
Laura's POVThe woman who I guessed was Mrs. Corazon smiled at Sasha and gosh, she looked so much like Eric. Wait… Was she his Mum?!“How're you doing, Sasha? You've grown all bigger than I am, uh?” She joked sillily and Sasha snorted, helping her get inside the house.I cleared my throat, stylishly gawking at Larry who felt uncomfortable with my stares as he looked over at the woman who was approaching us.Jeez. Stay calm, Laura. You can do this, she's just Eric's Mum. She can be nice. NICE? But the Sloan's are cold? She might be as well. Maybe she's here to confront me to leave like Agatha did. I reached up, grabbing my chin in a sigh. The woman reached to where we were and cleared her throat, posing like a model with tanned skin glowing, her eyes flickering, her hair rolled professionally. Damn, this woman screamed wealthiness and riches. No wonder Eric adores her, but I doubt if Mr. Landon did, he's always a hard man.“You must be Laura, Eric told me lots about you,” The woman fl
Laura's POVI waited for Mrs. Corazon to say something to me, but no word came from her as we attended to the dishes. Truthfully, it was enjoyable getting her assistance in the kitchen.She wasn't like Mr. Landon or slightly like Agatha after all. I chuckled inwardly, my hands on the chopper.“Did you really tried to ruin my son?” She suddenly asked out of the blues, and I froze, my hands hovering on the chopper as I gawked at her with a 'what' look. “I mean…” She shrugged, now looking at me. “If you were his fiancée, why would you play such kind of thing with the blogger? I wasn't around, but I got all the information. Don't get me wrong, Laura. I'm just watching out for my son. You know, I really love him and after Bella hurt him, I wouldn't want another woman to do the same in his life any longer.” She stated clearly, and I cleared my throat whilst nodding in understanding.Every mother would want their children's happiness anyway so I understood her point, but I nibbled on my lip
