Laura Pov I am currently preparing for my flight, I will have to do this deal alone Nicholas will have to run the restaurant. 'Are you ready?' 'Honestly no, what if I mess up or something wrong happens?' He checked at my reply, I glared at him to stop. 'You are one of the smartest and strong businesses women I have ever known. You have been giving your rival a run for their money.' 'I had to.' 'See, nothing will go wrong you are an independent young woman.' 'Awe, what will I do without you?' 'You would be lost obviously.' 'Cocky much' I chuckled at him, this contract if successful would help us. 'When are you supposed to leave?' ' Tonight, I feel so nervous I have never left Eddie alone, do you think I should go with him?' 'He will be fine, I got this your mum will be coming to stay with us so you have nothing to be worried about.' 'Remember no sugar at night, my mum has a sweet tooth and if she is not controlled she will pass it on to him. I don't want him to start crav
Laura Pov 'Thank you for coming' I told him still checking out the expensive restaurant. 'You don't have to thank me, I should have checked if everything was ready before bringing you.' What happened to James in the car, I like this James. 'What is past is past, thank you for launch' 'The pleasure is all mine, mind if we went for a walk?' 'Sure I need to move after the mountain of food you made me eat.' I laughed remembering the tasty food he made me 'taste'. 'You never complained.' 'So it is my fault' I gasped faking hurt. He smiled at me his eyes held an emotion that flashed by quickly I taught I imagined it. 'Where are we going?' 'To the gardens, we could talk there' 'Okay, lead the way.' I followed him to the garden I kept getting stares from both ladies and men. What is their problem, I looked at my dress in search of a whole or something but I was okay. 'James,why am I receiving glares?' 'Forget them they are jealous.' 'Of you?' 'No, well partly nit everyday t
Laura Pov I walked into the house taking off my shoes, dropping my bag on somewhere.'He is alive''He could not remember you.'Those words kept replaying in my mind, how could fate be thus cruel? I only had one dream to meet my prince charming and live happily ever after.Why do I get to get half of my dream, angry at fate and Tony I screamed it out of my lungs. I have his son for crying out loud, just why can't he remember me?'You know you are beautiful right' 'You never fail to tell me''Well, you just got more beautiful.' he said kissing the top of my head.'You know you can tell me I am fat, no hard feelings.' I told him, rubbing my seven-month bump.'I stand by what I said you are still beautiful and will be more beautiful after our bundle of joy arrives.' I shoved that memory away, I would be lying if I say I was not happy he was alive, but what if he never remembers me!What if he does and want to take his child?All this for a surprise he never got to show me! If only he
This is it Laura, you are about to make it real. I prepared myself before opening the door.I opened the door in time to find James hand mid-air about to knock the door. Smiling politely I ushered him inside.I should have thought through my plans before calling him. I remember waking up and feeling I had a bad dream, it to about three minute to recall it was reality and not my mind playing tricks on me.First, I had a melt down on bed I had to battle out every doubt and assure myself I was doing the right thing by going after him. In impulse I called James over before I changed my mind.Here he is before me looking handsome as ever. If Tony wasn't alive I know I would have fallen in love with him. 'You called me over is there any problem.' his voice stopped my train of thought, l am lucky he did cause my mind was going to a different dirrection.'Yes I did, since our meeting yesterday I have not been able to sleep or get my mind off his face.' I pause to think about my next choice
Laura Pov Today is the day everything will be put in place, it has been a week since I told James my plan. I thought he wouldn't go through with it but he did. I am so nervous, I hope sewing me alone can trigger something. 'Are you ready?' James asked. 'Yes I am ready' I said to myself than him, we were in his car. I looked at the building separating me from him. 'You have to come out of the car right' 'Oh right.' I came out of the care, I looked at my dress I looked good. I followed him into the building, we passed the receptionist to the elevator. We were heading to his office, I could feel my heart pounding my head pushing different scenarios into my mind. 'Breath Laura, you can do this that is why you are here.' I followed his instruction, breathing in and out slowly. The elevator dinged bringing back the panic. 'Show time' I need James mumur before leaving the elevator. I followed immediately, he stopped at a door gave me a reassuring smile before opening. 'Hey bro.'
Antony's POV Why do I have to go to work today, as the Ceo I should be able to work from anywhere. But no, I have to always be in the office to correct the mess they make. Why I still pay and keep them is beyond me? I dragged my tired self to the bathroom to do my business. My mind wondered about the strange video call James made. He hardly calls via video then he does and shows me, Laura? What is he up to and why we're they in a garden? I know it's not my business what he does, but I can't just shake the feeling every time I remember the shock on her face. I looked at myself in the mirror and nodded at my choice of cloth. Exciting the house I went to the garage to drive out my sports car. I need to meet with Laura about the partnership, I however cannot find it in me to see her. I don't know I think I have to start going for therapy again, I killed the engine after parking at the place allotted for me. I had half the mind to call James so we meet with her, but I could not t
Laura Pov A week now since I started working with James, we share the same office. The bakery has lots of work to do and they haven't made any profit in a while. I wonder why he bought it, today like every other day I am sitting at the left corner of the office. He said I should be here while he makes arrangement for my office. In all honesty I am happy it gives the advantage to ask him questions and observe him more. Sometimes I get a glimpse of the man I am looking for other times he becomes a total stranger. I need to get us alone, he had mentioned anything about the trip and I can it stand seeing that Sarah flurt and kiss my husband. Speak of the devil and he will appear. 'Hello baby' 'Sarah? 'Surprise to see me?' 'Yes, I was not expecting you.' 'Me neither, I was in the block then I decided to come say hi to my man. Plus you were not picking your phone I was worried.' she whined sitting in his lap. Gosh I can't take this it hurts so much a second here and I will explode
Laura pov Today has been hectic, adding to the fact that I have not had any good sleep in three days. I am a working zombie, hopefully I will be able to catch up on some sleep in the plane.That reminds me I have to check-up on James he is a life saver. He has gone to assist Nic while i am here, exhausted with no clue how to get him.'Laura we are leaving in an hour hope you are ready.''I am ''Good' That is the most he has spoken to me since the day he took me home. I actually thought it would mean something but nope, he has been avoidinge me like I have the plague!My only hope is this trip, maybe us being alone without his body guard of a fiancee. Will trigger his memory cause I have things in mind. I picked my travelling bag, I gave the office a final glance. I needed to call Nic for some advice, he is a man he would know what I could do. I thought fishing for my phone on my way to the car.'Hurry Laura!' Tony shouted from the car.I picked up my pace, the call would have to w
Laura PovOne year later'Eddy stoping teaching Lucas and Marvin how to jump from the couch!' Sorry mama, Daddy said we can do it if we place pillows on the floor.Of course Tony would encourage things like this, 'Where is your daddy now?' I asked containing my anger.'He is with Diana in the kitchen.' He replied picking the pillows, one look was all he needed to stop the play and arrange the place.'I leave home for one moment then you turn the whole place into a play gro...'The sight before me was funny, Diana had flour all over her face and Tony's face wasn't even better. They stopped their laughter when he caught sight of me at the door.'Diana we have to clean the whole place now.' He said realizing he was in trouble.'No dada' dianan didn't agree with him infact, her favourite word was no.'Awe, you look so cute who is my...'I cleared my throat to bring him to the present, 'Oh erm see who is here! mummy!' She followed his hand directed to me and began jumping in joy. I walked
Anthony POV Karma... I never believed that word or fully acknowledged it's existence. Yet here I was receiving it, and it hurts so bad I wish I could undo it But I did it to protect her not to get her in harms way.'Hey man, go take a shower I will be here.''Huh' I looked at James.'No it's fine I don't want to burden you.''Non sense, you need rest and proper shower go home, I will inform you if anything happens.''Promise me.''I pinky promise.' he rose his little finger.'I mean it James.''I know man, you have to look after yourself, you heard the doctor she might wake up soon.''Alright, I will leave but I will be back in an hour.''Take your time T.'Sighing I looked at her pale figure, l wish it was me instead. I was currently staying with Laura's parents, not by choice actually. No one wanted me to be alone, because I was becoming a danger to myself.Flash back.After taking the triplets to the hospital I called the police and gave them Laura's location. Then I called James
Tony PovThings where not looking great at all, I thought I I was protecting her! My hands gripped the wheels. I got an anonymous call about her location, what do I do next?I follow hopefully it doesn't lead to a dead end like the rest. When I lay my hands on Sarah she would be sorry for ever laying her hands on what's mine!I parked at the location I was given, this place was outside of town and no one would suspect this parts. I would give to Sarah she is smart.Five minutes later someone knocks on the passenger window. It was an elderly woman with lots of clothes? I looked around to be sure this was not a prank or something, she knocked again seeing i wasn't opening the door.'Hold on be patient, i will open if this is a trap you would be sorry.' i mumbled before opening the door.I opened the door for her, she struggled a bit before she sat, what was she hiding?''Start driving.''Excuse me? how dare you give me order i don't even know you?''I know you and shit is about to happ
Laura Pov 'Take it easy push when the next wave come' 'nnmm' Why couldn't Tony be here just this once I would have forgiven him.'Ah!!!' 'That's it a little more.''O...okaaaay!!' 'Just like that you are crowning' Honestly I wasn't paying any attention I just wanted everything to be over. 'Ah!!!'And that was how Tony Junior was born. 'Mmwah,mwah' This is my second birth I shouldn't be emotional but I can't help the tears.'It's a boy congratulations dear.' 'Now let bring his brother or sister.''No no don't take him away.' 'I won't he will be in the next room, you need to start pushing now!' 'What? so soon!''Told you.''How is the birth going?' Talk or think about the devil and he shall appear. 'Good she has given birth to the first child he is so handsome' 'What a shame he will be adopted right?' 'Fu...ck..off!' The relief after birth is bliss, the room was filled with another cry and my eyes responded accordingly. Patting him on my chest a plan started forming a dan
Laura Pov The routine is simple yet everything is secured, I would be lying if I said the wait is driving me nuts. I feel like a cow being fattened for the slaughter. 'Come on now eat day dreaming won't do you any good.' Jonathan a guard spike up with plate of food. 'Now why will I stop it, it's the only thing keeping me sane.' I smirked Jonathan and I had a friend enemy kind of friendship if I can call it that. 'Place hd food over there will eat later.' I told feigning interest in a story book I have read countless times. 'Not happening I will not be here for some days I need to make sure you are well fed before the boss gets someone. The doctor will come when you are almost due so sit up. 'No.' he is easy to reel up, I shouldn't be doing this but I am bored I have had enough time to be sad. 'Fine the hard way it is then.' Before I could comprehend I heard his footsteps followed by me being carried bridal style to the table. 'Now eat.' 'Fine it's not like I have any choice.
Laura Pov'Everything seems to be falling in place.' stretching my legs on the sofa, chilled water with a slice of pizza nothing feels more relaxing than this.'Is't that you fifth slice of pizza?''Erm.... maybe?' I replied sheepishly in all honesty it was my seventh I wasn't telling her that for sure.'Well that's enough, you need to eat more healthy now that you are almost due.'' Mum! I do eat healthier it's a one time thing.''Really, says the person who ate croissant and fries.'' Okay maybe not all the time but sometimes I try, it's craving ma it's feeling like it has tripled.'I know the feeling honey but you have to listen to it less, it for your own good. Now stop eating the pizza let's eat something healthy.''Like what?''Salad.''Fine can you exclude carrots and lettuce?''I thought you had grown pass your dislike for veggies?' she turned quirking her eyebrow. When she does this you have to say everything or you are in big trouble.'I have grown pass it mama it's them the
Laura pov "Bed rest I am tied of bed rest i want to do someething productive!' 'Shouting won't get you anywhere Laura besides it's for your own good' Nicholas repeated, I can tell he is getting faustrated but so am i! it's not easy staying at one place when you need your mind not to wonder about if a certain someone was worried when the plane crashed. 'I know Nicholas but you have to hear me out, if I stay here one more day I will go crazy. I need to know how what is happenig at the resturant.' 'Everything is going on well, you are not ready to talk about your 'surprise' and I respect you but you would have to say something if you showed up at work looking lie that.' i followed his hand to my reflection.' 'Did you just called me fat!' 'N..no! I would never!' he stuttered. 'Good, cause I would have wondered what will happen to you game room.' I faked thinking. 'You wouldn't dare!' He gasped. 'I would all I need is for you to call me fat and we will find out.' I challenged hi
Laura Pov Can't they keep quiet, I need to sleep. The voices didn't stop as I had wished rather it became loud. 'Nng...' was all I managed to say, my throat felt like sand paper what happened?. 'She's up' the other voice I recognize as a male and familiar spoke. Why won't I be awake with all your talking. It took great effort to open my eyes, why? I have no idea. It felt like hours before I succeeded in the simple task of opening my eyes! the room was dark thank goodness the curtain did a good job of blocking the sun ray. 'W...' someone shoved a cup of water at face, not looking at the person I accepted it and drank. 'Don't rush child.' Child? me? I am a grown woman well my features tell me that. Placing the cup down I was prepared to give this woman a lecture, however all words died on my tongue when I looked at the elderly woman. She could me seventy or more, old age actually made her beautiful. Grey locks on her heart face, dare I say wrinkles look good on her. What was I
Laura Pov 'How..long...till we get there' I asked huffing. 'Three seconds since you last asked.' Matty replied. I glared at the back of his head does he think everyone has long legs like him! Blast his long legs and the landscape! 'Cursing me will get you know where remember people are counting on us.' How did he know! does he read minds or he's an alien? everything is possible now adays. Why did I volunteer again? I have to stop spontaneous action like this. 'I know people are counting on is but could we at least camp for now it's almost sun down and we have been working for hours.' I reasoned. He looked at me closely before nodding,' we make camp here but we move at first light.' 'Aye aye captain.' I saluted clearing the area before he changed his mind. There was nothing much to clear though, the ground was dry with leaves covering it surface. Several big roots covered the area we chose I wonder what made him choose here. 'You should have some rest we have few hours til
