Chapter 60

Eric's POVAs we stepped into the elevator, I noticed Laura's expression. She looked like someone who would tear up any moment but was trying to stop herself. I literally heard the murmurs from the side angles about her, but I chose to act numb. It was useless trying to clarify them anyway. And that's why I decided to throw a meeting with the press—To clarify things to them. Until now, Tyler couldn't still track whoever had done that to me. I knew for sure it wasn't Laura, and for some reason I didn't understand why I trusted her, but I did anyway. No harm, right?As soon as we came out of the elevator, we were welcomed by flashing cameras clicking everywhere and there. The press were hovering around us to listen to whatever we had to say but I just interlock my fingers with that of Laura's, heading to my office where Tyler was.“Hey, bro!” He called almost immediately he saw me walked in, but his expression changed as soon as he saw Laura who flashed him an awkward smile.He stared

Chapter 61

Laura's POVI didn't realize Tyler and Eric would be this close until I witnessed their little show in Eric's office before Eric took me to the meeting room. To be sincere, I felt the pounding in my chest as I walked past the crowd of press trying to hover around us. Thankfully, Eric held me in place.I was once a journalist, but I never really liked being the talk of the day. That last time I did that which was humiliating Eric's name, I regretted it and promised myself never to show up in such kind of situation again but here I was, back to another similar situation.To another nightmare, my eyes wandered to the direction Eric was glaring at, Aaron. Aaron was here as well? What was he doing here?“Eric,” I called lowly, trying to make him realize he'd been staring at him for too long. Eric turned to me and nodded softly before resting on his chair. I could still see him glaring at Eric.I guessed this was a meeting for most powerful men and that's why Aaron was involved. That's what

Aaron's POVEric has won this round, he won't win the next round. No way will I let that happen. I must say, he really got a sharp tongue to twist his words to the press, even to prove to the others. I came here through the help of the few people I had my ways with in the company. Furthermore, I received an information Eric was to be meeting with the press and that's why I came to watch physically, and he really got away with this one.“Right, Laura?” I asked again when Laura seemed to be lost in something she seemed to be thinking, making me crease my brows.What was she thinking about?“Laura? Are you okay?” I watched Eric touch her shoulders as she asked and I scoffed silently.“I never knew this was real after all. I thought we were all fooling the press,” I added with a smirk, enjoying the look on their faces.I was clearly aware that Eric lured Laura into a fake marriage because of what she did to him. But I think this marriage of a thing was beginning to turn into a real thing

Laura's POV“We will be heading back home, Tyler. I suggest you do the same,” I listened to Eric grumble as Tyler rolled his eyes.“So I just waited here for nothing? Just admit it that you love me, dude.” Tyler argued.“Love? Fuçk you, Tyler.” Eric glared.“I should have left a while ago if you're just going to bring me here without saying any important thing. Can't believe I spent half of my day in this damn office! You'll pay for this Eric Sloan,” He warned and I laughed.“Don't laugh,” He frowned.“You're really something else, Tyler.”“I think by tomorrow we should be able to track whoever made the posts for the past few days. My source is getting a track and I don't think I'm liking where it's pointing at, Eric.” Tyler clicked his tongue as he said. As if sighing in a pity, causing my ears to perk up in anticipation.“What do you mean?” Eric asked.Tyler ran his hands into his hair and ran it over his face before replying gently. “I think Aaron has something to do with it.” “I

Laura's POV“That's good, I'm glad you're here.” Mrs. Corazon said to me, pulling me close to her as my eyes wandered around for any sight of Eric, but he was nowhere nearby. Where the hell did he disappeared to?“You know, you're making me remember Agatha.” Mrs. Corazon said again, pulling a chair for me to sit as she sat opposite me.“Agatha?” I asked, quirking my brows and she shrugged.“Yes, she travelled, remember? I'm saying you're making me remember her. She caused you a lot of problems didn't she?” She drawled curiously, sliding a potato in her mouth.I chuckled inwardly as I parted my lips to reply her when Eric's voice came suddenly. “Mum, Dad isn't around?” My eyes followed Mrs. Corazon's own to see Eric approaching us.“Don't tell me you've suddenly gone blind, Eric? Did you see his car parked outside?” Mrs. Corazon muttered, and I trusted myself to chuckle seeing Eric's expression as he rolled his eyes.“It was just a simple question, Mum.” He groaned and Mrs. Corazon sc

Sasha's POV Inside my room, I stood in front of the transparent glass window, a glass of brandy with me when I saw Eric and Laura had returned. I kept wondering what they had in mind that I couldn't listen to their conversations anymore. It's either they conversed in Laura's room or his. Last time Aaron called, I sensed the anger in his voice. Dammit, I was slacking off, and I hate slacking off. Now Eric had gone away from Laura to answer an important phone call I guessed. This was another chance for me to eavesdrop again, still trying my best to listen to their convo. I just heard a hunch it was for Aaron. “They are smarter than I had thought,” I mumbled with an obvious grin, taking another sip of my glass of brandy again.The door to my room squeaked open and like expected, Eva interrupted me again.“What do you want this time?” I groaned as I asked, finally gulping down everything. Eva stared at me suspiciously but didn't say anything. “Since when did you become dumb to speak?!

Chapter 66

Eric's POVI received a call from Tyler about the hints of the culprit and to my surprise, he figured out the only way to get the mastermind behind all these was to create another plan so we could use it to set him up. “You understand what I'm saying, Eric?” Tyler's voice from the other end cut me off from my heights of thoughts.“Yeah, yeah. But I'm still thinking which other way to know the real culprit,” I told him. “It's easy, we'll track the culprit down. Since Laura claimed she didn't do it, I'll just have to track which could be hectic.” Tyler said.“So what do you suggest I do?” I asked as I started walking upstairs to my room, walking past the hall when my eyes caught someone.“Sasha?” I called, stopping abruptly as Sasha flinched and quickly did something I didn't take note of.“S-Sir Eric,” I heard her stutter and I quirked my brows. This was odd. “Do you need anything? Why does it look like you were parading the hall as if something were bothering you?” I asked, totally

Eric's POV“Laura!!!” Larry and Sasha screamed in horror as we rushed to the scene she had fallen off. Thankfully it wasn't high up from where we stopped as she went unconscious.“Laura,” Larry murmured, staring at his sister in disbelief. I rushed to her side already hauling her in my arms.Damn, she's so stubborn.“I'll take her to the hospital. Look after the house,” I told Larry and Sasha.“What? I'll go with you too,” Larry cooed.“Don't be stubborn too, I'll just be with her. She's loosing blood, stay back Larry!” I snapped at him as I rushed to the driveway with Laura in my arms. God, I wouldn't forgive myself if anything happens to her.I didn't have enough time to call Flynn to take us to the hospital as I got into the driver's seat and drove past Larry and Sasha, taking Laura to a hospital.Whoever had pushed her to commit such a suicide of ending her own life will pay when I get him. This wasn't humane, this was absurd.“Open your eyes, Laura.” I cursed under my breath, acc

Chapter 68

Aaron's POVThe first place I went to was my house, rushing inside, I ignored the maids who kept welcoming me with their greetings and also consciously past Bella who was about to welcome me.“Aaron, is there something wrong?” She asked as she followed after me. Why couldn't this woman leave me alone? Ignoring her, I got into my master room and started packing my things into different luggage.I needed to flee outside as soon as possible. Tyler and Eric were coming for me. The messages I sent Laura was enough hindrance to make them focus their attentions on her, and that's why I needed to leave with the earliest flight. If perhaps they'd found out I was the culprit, I knew I'd be down for, but I won't give up without a fight.“Aaron, why are you not saying anything? Why are you packing? Are we to leave the house? Tell me, is there something happening?!” Bella screamed at me.Holy hell!“Can't you just be quiet, woman?! Yes, you see I'm packing what does it look like I'm doing, Bella?!

Chapter 69

Eric's POVFLASHBACK...Immediately after I left the hospital, rushing to Tyler's house after receiving the shocking news from him about Aaron being the culprit, I received a call from Bella crying and telling me Aaron planned to leave the country.“What do you mean they can't find him anywhere, Tyler?” I asked for the umpteenth time as he paced to and fro, trying to connect with the corps sent on Aaron's trail.I ran my hands through my hair. “Shit,” I cursed.“I think they lost him. They aren't responding to my calls,” Tyler replied still trying to get to them.“He shouldn't leave the country, he can't leave! He has to face me! Such a coward, the nerve of him.” I spat, roughening my hair. This whole thing was just insane. He couldn't even boldly show himself like how he used to, and now he was trying to escape? “I'm not sure if he'd be able to get to the airport on time, there are a lot of checkpoints on the road.” Tyler said, and I pinned him with a glare. “You don't know Aaron W
