Chapter 30

Laura's POV“Eric?” I paused, my eyes fixated on his drenched clothes. The rain wasn't showing mercy either because it kept dripping.Eric stared at me without saying a word, his eyes were doing the talking instead, and I suddenly felt taken aback by his stares. Why was he staring at me that way?Suddenly, he started taking slow strides to me, every step he took making my body fidget as I expected him to blast at my face. Perhaps Agatha must have lied to him about what occurred today.“I'm sorry for not believing you.” His next words came as a shock to my face, my expression registered with astonishment as my mouth fell open.Did Eric Sloan of all people just apologized and forgave me?!He took his lips in, his eyes never leaving mine. “I'm sorry for not trusting you, Laura. I recently found out you didn't do anything Agatha claimed you did the first place. That's why, that's why...” He hasn't finished talking when I clutched his collars, tilting my head to kiss him—I was never expect

Chapter 31

Aaron's POVI stood beside the window blinds of my room, anger blazing in my eyes as I gripped my phone, seething my teeth. I had just gotten news of Eric's investment and how he successfully got many brand ambassadors on his side.I thought I'd placed eyes in his company, I had asked my PA to do the findings of most of his shareholders and connive with them, so I'd know every nook and cranny in Eric's company but still, nothing has changed. He was still getting ahead of me.The last time I saw him was at the event I hosted, seeing the pretty damsel beside him, I recognized her but pretended not to.. That's Laura Karma.

Chapter 32

Laura's POVRena didn't say another word for close to two minutes and right now, it felt like I'm in suspense, my heart pounding so hard in my chest until she cleared her throat.“Are you falling for Mr. Eric Sloan, Friend?” Rena asked in a low voice, yet unsatisfied, and I sighed, nodding my head like she could see me.“I can't deny the fact that I might be falling for him, Rena. We just consummated our marriage last...”“Consummate what?!!” Rena screamed from the other end. No one needed to tell me that she might have jump up, wherever she was.I bit my lower lip, shutting my eyes and opening them back again. “Don't be too loud now, Rena. You heard me correctly,” I replied, rolling my eyes as I walked to my closet, bringing out outfits comfortable to wear.Rena screamed again, almost deafening my ears. “Did you and Eric just... Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! I'm coming over, Laura. I need to see you,” Rena squealed and I snickered.Oh, Rena.“Wait, you're coming over??” I questione

Chapter 33

Laura's POVAaron flashed a warm smile at me, taking a sit opposite me even though I didn't offer him a seat.“It's nice to see you again, Laura. And oh, my bad for sitting without your consent,” He said almost immediately, and I waved it off. “Oh, no problem.” I mumbled.There was a moment of silence between us as Aaron wouldn't stop giving me a creepy smile, I could tell that was really creepy. I checked my wristwatch again and still no sign of Rena nearby.“How're you doing anyway? I saw your video the other...”“That's not really my problem, Aaron.” I cut him off, trying to sound cool. He seemed charming but he's prying into what wasn't his business.Aaron shrugged. “I'm just worried about you, Laura. Even though I don't mean any harm. Don't take this the wrong way,” He replied, splaying his hands as he ordered a waiter to bring us coffee.“Are you stalking me, Aaron?” I couldn't stop myself before I ask. Aaron quirked a brow at me and answered, “Stalk you? Why would I do that? I

Chapter 34

Bella's POVI felt pains all over my body, most especially my abdomen as I strained myself to do the house chores Aaron has left me to deal with. They were maids around but still, Aaron wouldn't let them do a thing, thereby leaving me to do all despite my condition.How could he be so heartless? The Aaron I once knew wasn't this way and neither was he being rude to me but now, it's more like I was getting irritated by him, that I was something that disgusted him. How he called me worthless, meaningless?, It brought tears to my eyes.Groaning slightly, I rested on a couch, stretching my arms as pain washed into me again. “Ahh,” I gave an involuntary moan.I wasn't due for labor so why was I feeling pains and cramps? Not that I wasn't due, it wasn't just time yet.. it's early.My mind suddenly darted to Eric and tears clouded my eyes—I promised myself not to think or remember him since whatever we once had is in the past, but I couldn't bring myself to keep thinking about him. He became

Chapter 35

Eric's POVI was in my office with Tyler when I heard Bea trying to stop someone from seeing me. Curiosity got the better of me as I decided to go see who it was and to my uttermost surprise, it was Bella —Standing there. What was she doing here? My body itched to embrace her but same time, we were not a thing—No us, so I stood on my ground, restricting her from coming any closer. Who knew what I could do to her if she comes any closer.“But.. Aaron and I didn't discuss anything,” She said innocently and I scoffed. “You think I can believe that, Bella? I can't believe your lies!” I snapped, trying my best to be at my cool. Bella threw her gaze to the floor, I could see the tears that gathered in her eyes.“Let me just talk to you, please. Even if this is the last time” She pleaded. I spared her different glances before nodding once. We trod into my office. Tyler's mouth fell open when he saw us as he gave me an unkind expression.“Hi, Tyler” Bella flashed a smile at Tyler. “Oh, hi,

Chapter 36

Laura's POVChatting with Rena was lively and fun. We went all places together after the restaurant. Indeed, I missed a friend —Rena. And finally, she departed after informing me on the date to be fixed for her wedding with Nate. Nate was her man, actually. Flynn successfully drove me back home as I came out, strolling into the mansion. “Where are you coming from?” Someone's voice came from behind, and I almost jolted in fear. My face contorted to a frown when I saw it was no one but pestering Agatha.“And where I'm coming from isn't any of your business, Agatha.” I replied, and made to walk away when she suddenly started clapping. “Wow, bravo, Laura, bravo. You've been getting the guts lately, aren't you?” She retorted.“Won't you give up, Agatha? There's nothing we can sit and discuss when we both know the results. And oh please, stop trying to interrogate me because I owe you no explanation.” I said to her and finally walked away. I glanced over my shoulders to see her fuming f

Chapter 37.

Laura's POVI moved aside when Sasha's voice came out of nowhere. Eric's eyes darted to her as she slowly approached us with a warm smile. I quirked my brows suspiciously. Why did she interfere during a serious conversation?“How're you doing, Sasha?” Eric gave her a small smile in return. For real, I scoffed silently. “I'm doing alright, Sir. It's like I interrupted something..” She settled her gaze on me. “I just wanted to welcome you and nothing more. I'll go do my job now,”, She added and started walking away.What the hell just happened?!“Thank you, Sasha.” Eric said and I rolled my eyes.“How long have you known Sasha?” I didn't know when that came as a blurt. Eric gawked at me for a while and shrugged. “Well, I can't say. Sasha is good loyal maid who's been working for me for the past few years. I can't say bad about her. She's competent,” He explained.“Oh, you talk like you trust her too much, uh?” I inquired.“Yeah. Look, Dad wants to see us,” Eric's words made me halt in

Chapter 38

Laura's POVThe ringing tone of my phone made me groan back to life. Half awake, and half-asleep. It was Larry —He's calling! Excitedly, I picked up without a second thought.“Sissy!” Larry called excitedly.“Larry.” I beamed happily. “So, we're on holiday. And I was thinking...”“Yeah! Come over, Larry! Come over!” I squealed with the thoughts of seeing him again. It's been several months, he must've been a big boy now. Gosh, I couldn't wait to see him.“Really, Sis? You seem more excited than I am.” He giggled over the phone and I smiled tearily, remembering the anonymous caller's threat about taking Larry as well.“Larry...” I called. “Yes?” He responded.“Make sure you'll be coming here straight, okay? Do not even converse with anyone until you get here. And be careful with the cab you board,” I cautioned like a mother would do to her son and he laughed.“Why are you speaking this way like you are afraid of something. Is there something that's eating you up? You can tell me.” La

chapter 39

Laura's POV“How did you get my number, Aaron?” I demanded to know again, and he snorted over the phone like something was funny, causing me to crease my brow. Seriously, was he finding this funny to begin with? I couldn't remember possibly exchanging any contacts with him. “You ask too many questions, Laura. Isn't it good thing that I called you to ask how you're doing?” He replied with a snort again, and I scoffed, feeling irritated. Now I'm starting to see why Eric didn't like him.Eric's voice came again. “Laura! Are you okay in there?” He asked.“Oh yes, yes, I am.” I replied almost immediately.“Of course I need to ask how you got my contact because I can remember the last time, you didn't ask for it.” I snapped at Aaron on the phone.“Don't yell at me, Laura. You're over stepping your boundaries,” Aaron's voice came as a warning and I felt cringed. “What do you mean?” I muttered in a whispering tone.“Don't ask, you'll be expecting me soon at the mansion. I need to tell you s
