All Chapters of Love Is An Experiment: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

CARLTONI couldn't wait for the evening to be over. Laura, my father's wife, suggested throwing a party for our partners at the penthouse, and of course, Father agreed. Before the festivities began, I gave a brief speech to thank our partners for attending the wedding. Then, I started greeting everyone personally."Mr. Williams, congratulations," Micheal Larsen, one of the company's shareholders, called out to me."Thank you," I replied, shaking his outstretched hand with a forced smile."I must say, your wife is very beautiful. You have a great taste. I guess I'm the only bachelor left in the city," he remarked with a smirk."I doubt that. Thank you for coming," I responded politely, eager to end the conversation and escape the night's discomfort.Suddenly, I felt someone take my hand. I turned to see my supposed bride.Her dress, a stunning shade of blue, reminded me of the first dress I bought for Laura, the one she wore on our first date, it looked exactly the same. Anger simmered

As we stepped off the jet, the warm breeze caressed my skin, and the ocean's scent mingled with exotic flowers filled my lungs. I closed my eyes, drinking in the beauty around us. Carlton's arm encircled my waist, his touch a gentle reminder of his presence.I opened my eyes to find a dozen attendants waiting for us, their crisp white shirts and tailored pants a stark contrast to the relaxed atmosphere. They formed a line, their smiles warm and inviting, but Carlton's expression remained stoic, his eyes fixed on some point ahead."Quite the welcome party," I said, trying to break the tension. He raised an eyebrow, his gaze never leaving the horizon. "You'll get used to it, you're my wife now, " he said curtly. I pushed aside the flutter in my chest, focusing on the attendants bustling around us.One of them stepped forward, his smile polite. "Welcome, Mr. and Ms. Williams. The yacht is ready. Please, follow me.""Beautiful!" I said, my eyes fixed on the yacht. Carlton maintained a det

WEEKS LATERI'm chilling in bed, reading one of Sarah's stories she sent me. Suddenly, I heard noises downstairs. As I dashed downstairs, the sound of Layla's voice arguing with the security echoed through the house."I know her, Let her go!" I stepped forward, facing the security. He remained unmoved."Mr. Williams instructed that outsiders should not be allowed in," he explained."I told you I know her! Take your fucking hands off her now, or I'll get you fired!" My frustration boiled over, punctuating my words with force.Reluctantly, he complied, and Layla and I embraced tightly. "Let's go upstairs to my room," I suggested.Once we settled in, Layla's eyes blazed like wildfire as she confronted me. "Sam, what the actual hell? You just disappeared without a trace! I had to scour the internet to find out what happened to you!"I felt a pang of guilt and regret, my eyes dropping like a coward. "I'm so sorry, Layla. Everything happened so fast, I didn't have a chance to explain..."She

We went to George's house because he wanted to talk to Alex and Carlton and he wanted us to have a family dinner. After dinner, I took a stroll, waiting for Carlton when Laura showed up out of nowhere and started walking with me. What did she want now? I ignored her and kept looking straight ahead. "How's life with Carlton?" she asked, sounding all nice and friendly. "You already know," I replied, my voice a little snarky. She laughed, but I didn't get what was so funny. "You know about the Williams' charity gala, right?" she kept going, not bothered that I wasn't talking to her. I listened, even though I didn't want to, as she explained how she was having trouble organizing the event and how George thought I should help her out. Great, just what I needed. More of their drama, I guess it's better than being caged at home all day. I nodded but still didn't look at her."Great! I will let you know what you need to do later. Since you agree, I have a surprise for you. You will love it," s

CARLTON"Where the heck is she?" I growled, my frustration boiling over as I grabbed Laura's arm and dragged her to a secluded corner."Oh, you mean that stripper? She left. I don't know where she is," Laura shrugged nonchalantly, but her indifference only fueled my anger.I released her arm and tightened my grip around her throat, my fury bubbling to the surface. "If anything happens to her, I'm going to rip your face apart.""You wouldn't hurt a woman," she laughed mockingly, but her laughter only fueled the fire burning within me."Wait and see." I released her with a shove before storming out of the penthouse in search of her.Where was she? I raced to Sultry Siren, but she wasn't there. I checked her old apartment, but she wasn't there either. Her phone was dead, and despite calling Jace too, he owned a security company. There was still no sign of her."Is she home?" I demanded when I called Anne, my frustration mounting with each passing second."No, sir," Anne's voice came throu
