Hello everyone, Thank you for giving this book a chance. I know I haven't been updating regularly, I will try to update as much as I can. THANK YOU.
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
It has been a week since I started working with Laura, she is a brilliant and determined woman. I looked at her from my table, a frown on her face as she focus on the paper before. With constant butting of her lower lips, she does that a lot when she is thinking.I would say she is an open book in this week my office has been lively, for some reason I don't want her out of my sight . I know she is a free woman and she is beautiful, James has a thing for her he has been trying hard to hide it but I know himm very well. I wonder if he acted on it and she rejected him.'Tony, would you like a cup coffee?''No.' I replied pretending to be busy.'Okay I won't be long, erm I have been meaning to ask you when will my office be ready?''Soon I believe.' I gave her a vague answer.'Okay.' Don't judge but I prefer her working here with me I could ask her anything without walking or talking. It makes the partnership easy, besides I have to know my partner well.I looked at the ID of the person
Laura pov 'This burger is tasty!' I said covering my mouth and still chewing the goodness, uuh. 'You know ladies do not speak with their mouth full.' Tony said frowning at his food. 'Well, be informed I am not a lady but a full grown woman.' and a mother I would have said 'Isn't it the same thing?' 'Not in my opinion.' 'Forget it.' he threw his hand dismissively. 'If you say so , are you not going to eat your burger?' 'No, you can have it, how you like it is beyond be.' he wrinkled his nose pushing the plate towards me. 'Thank you.' 'Are you eating it now?' 'Erm why not?' I asked pausing my action. 'Wouldn't that be too much?' 'Well Tony unless I have told you I am on diet which I am not, I am entitled to eat till my heart content.' 'Sorry don't be touchy about it.' 'At least I am eating unlike some people who aren't, for the record you are not on diet right?' 'No, I am not, I am tired of this place hurry I need fresh air.' 'Yes boss, I ate as fast as my mouth would
Laura Pov It feels nice to rest, stretching my tired muscle while yawning I rolled out of bed. I would love to sleep some more but my plans won't put itself into action. Speaking of plans I have to call Eddy I miss that little rascal. Not putting too much thought into it I face timed Nico. He picked immediately, 'Hello Lau...what happened to your hair?!' he shrieked. Leave it to Nicholas to be worried about things like that. 'Nothing, I just woke up.' 'I know just messing with you, to what do I owe this morning call, miss me already?.' That is why I love Nicholas, why didn't I fall in love with him instead. 'You wish I was, I miss my baby ... ' 'Mum!' Eddie screamed jumping on Nicholas. 'Hey, kiddo calm down before you break something.' Nico told him. 'Hey honey, I miss you so much.' Seeing him only made me realize how much I miss him, he looks like his father everyday. 'I miss you too mummy, you left me alone with granny and uncle Nico, I am very sad.' he pouted looking
Laura Pov 'Did you bring out it all out?' 'That's a disgusting question.' 'hmm' looking at his disheveled hair and the loss of clour from his cheek I can say he needs a doctor. 'Why are you staring at?'. 'Nothing.' Flashback 'Why didn't you tell you where allergic to chocolate!' I yelled at him he was sick and he knew the cause. 'Calm down love I am fine now okay.' What I have been up all day in the hospital praying for him to be alright, to hear this? 'Don't tell me to calm down! why the heck did you eat the cupcake?!' 'I couldn't resit it any more and I didn't know it would be this serious.' 'Oh Tony, I would have just baked another cupcake for you if you wanted to try it that bad I had vanilla too.' Sighing I sat on the bed taking his hands between mine. 'Please, don't put your life at risk again it was awful watching you faint and sitting waiting for the doctors to tell me you were alright. I...I never want to feel like a part of me is gone.. 'Hey, I didn't mean for
Anthony's Pov 'Beep,beep' The annoying sound continued, at first it was faint but gradually it became loud. Groaning I opened my eyes with the intension of stop the sound. However that action fled my mind when I blinked severally to white celling and the smell of disinfectant. Why the heck am I in the hospital? taking a look at the room my eye met black mop of hair. I know who the hair color belongs to even if I was blind I have familiarized myself. 'L...l..' my throat was very dry like I had swallowed sand. If I want to know why I am here I need to try harder. 'L...love' there I hope she heard cause it took me heck of an effort to say that word. Her head shot up, immediately she looked at me then blinked twice mumbled before rushing to my side 'Y..You are awake... I ..thought you wouldn't...neverever do that again' she said it between sobs. What did I .... Oh that. Wiping the tears that refused to stop, I could only assure her that I was here and I was better, she gave m
Laura Pov 'Wow' those are the only words I have been able to utter who would have thought speaking and laughing to the sales guy will get me what I needed. The fact that I didn't do it intentional only mean one thing he is remembering and I will help him remember faster. Smirking to that thought I decided to try the swim suit I got. It was red and glued my body the right way, looking at the mirror in the stall I admired it. The red brought my caramel skin to like, the front looked like a push up bra with the hook at the front. However it had strings at the back and the middle section. Turning I looked at the strings that joint the top and down forming an 'x' shape. I wonder if this was really for swimming. 'You have to come out sometime.' He spoke loudly startling me from my day dream. Show time lets see how far he can hold on, it would be nice if I had my heels on but no today of all day I chose flats!. Sighing I walked out to meet him, and boy did I love the stare I got. Grin
Tony POV What on earth am I doing? What got me to accept this and much less kiss her!. I am angry at myself for doing things I least expect with no reason. We didn't talk when we came back to the hotel, we went to our suits the moment we got to our floor. Sitting on sofa at the balcony, the cool air caress me throwing my hair on my face. Reminding me to cut my hair my thoughts have been everywhere and nowhere. I took a sip of coffee and winced at the now cold taste, it was brewing hot when I came to the balcony, placing the cold mug on the table it has lost it purpose of keeping me warm. Sighing, I leaned on the rail seeing people seated and chatting like they had nothing to worry about. My thoughts roamed to the person I have been avoiding to think about. Laura, she took my breath away the moment she walked into the office. No man can forget beauty like hers, I remember being trapped looking at those big green eyes that had lots of mystery. I hardly paid attention to the thi
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
