"For what?" Mandy asked him, and he smirked. "Why didn't you eat last night and today?" "I wasn't hungry!" "Have you ever seen anyone who is not hungry throughout the day?" Lauren didn't reply to her. "Go on tell me." "You weren't here to eat with me." Mandy looked at him, she blushed, averting her gaze, she shouldn't play with fire, Lauren doesn't love her. "Haven't you been eating without me?" "You look different." "Different?" Mandy asked. "Yes, when you blush." She hurried from his bed, she needed to give him space. "You are fine now, I should leave." He holds Mandy's hand, she looks at him. "Stay with me...""I can't, I promise Noor to come back." Lauren let go of her hand, he grabbed his bedspread to cover himself. "I will just return in the evening." Lauren didn't say any more words, Mandy turned around and left, and he closed his eyes, what madness had he gotten himself into? As each day passes he longs for a woman whose heart belongs to another, instead of the love goin

Lauren was the first to wake up, he watched the sleeping Mandy on his bed with her hair scattered on his bed, he bent to kiss her, and Mandy's phone rang. "Shit!" He presses the button to stop it from ringing. "Is that my phone?" Mandy asked in her sleep. "Nope!" Lauren said, he wanted to switch the phone off, but the call came up again before he could press the switch button. "That is my phone." Mandy stands up, only to see Lauren with her phone. "Hey, that is my phone, who is calling?" "I said no one." "You telling lies." She grabbed her phone from him, only to see a message from Noor. "Oh my God! I told him, that I was...""Mandy! Where are going?" "I need to bathe, I have to..." Lauren held her hand. "Mandy please, don't pick Noor over me."Mandy looks at him. "Yes, I know Noor is your first love, I was scared that you still have feelings for him, that is the reason I didn't tell you, about him, I just felt if I let you know that, he didn't hurt you in his right senses, he

Lauren didn't know what his actions, had caused his mother, every other thing, in his life, didn't matter, arriving at his Villa, Mandy was still sleeping, so he took his bath, he brought breakfast to her but she was still sleeping. He climbed onto the bed, he watched as she slept peacefully, watching her, he was getting tired of her not talking, so he started kissing her neck, Mandy was getting uncomfortable, she tried to pull from him but she noticed it was a strong hand that presses her to the bed. "Who are you?" "Who could be touching you?" Mandy's eyes flew open, hearing Lauren's voice. "What are you...""To meet my bonbon, sorry about last night." He apologized even before Mandy could answer. "You can punish me, for not coming home last night." "I should punish you?" Mandy asked, He regretted what he just said, Mandy stared at him, and then he nodded, after hesitating. "I want you to take off your mask." Lauren looked at her, this girl was silly, he was thinking, she was goi

The drive home was cold, no word came from Lauren to Mandy, arriving at the mansion, he got down without opening the door for Mandy, and he darted inside, Mandy had to open the door, herself, and she walked coldly inside. Stone is watching, he doesn't know what happened between them but the sight he saw in the morning is different from the one, they returned late with. Amelia is calling again, he picks up immediately after he enters. "I told you, I am busy...""Lauren, what are you busy doing? You left this morning without saying a proper goodbye and you didn't apologize for telling some low life that you are in love with her, there is a limit to what I could take if you...""Amelia stop it, I am tired, I told you, I would call you." He presses the end button, and Mandy hits on his door. "Lauren open up, I am sorry." "Fine, just go to bed, I want to rest." "Please, I want to sleep here." "No Mandy, go to bed." "Fine, I love you." Lauren didn't reply, she sighed and then took the

Larry and Mandy are talking about Tessa when Lauren pushes the door. "Hey bro, don't you know how to knock?" "Stop being ridiculous, come on Mandy, let's go." "Wait!" He doesn't have that time, he pulls Mandy to the door. "Sorry, we talk about that some other time." Mandy managed to say, as Lauren dragged her out, getting to Lauren's office, she sat. "What were you discussing with my brother?" "Nothing!" "What do you mean nothing?" "It's nothing because it's not about you, it's..." "Go on, stop trying to change the topic." "Oh! I was trying to persuade him, that he should let Tessa become a model, she is good at it and I am sure, she will like it. And I forgot, I was told Lisa and I are having a runway, I can't believe that I am going to wear one of Cooper's shoes, that dream shoe of mine, all my life, I am going to wear it.' "You are what?" "Yes, Merlin contracted Zul, that he needs a model from his showcase and that he prefers me, so you see, he is making it possible f
