“Talk to me, Tony, you’re making me nervous,” Laurel sniffed, she couldn’t hold back any longer, her heart rate was unstable and her eyes didn’t leave Tony. “I’ll need some time to think this through, Laurel.” Tony sighed, making a decision in a moment like this wasn’t something he’d want to do. The look on Laurel’s face was obvious that she wasn’t happy with his response, but there was nothing he could do. He wouldn’t make a decision at such a critical moment when his emotions were unstable. “You have nothing to worry about, Laurel. I’m telling you for a fact, no matter what happens. We’re going to get married, and we’d live together. No matter what happens, I swear it to you with my life,” Tony added, he wasn’t just saying the words to make Laurel feel better. He meant it, from every fibre of his being. His eyes showed it. Laurel, even though she wasn’t happy that Tony wouldn’t make a decision yet, she was somewhat at peace with his words. But still, she really wanted to know wh

Tony was at his old house the following morning, he had no idea when Katerina would come, so it was better he went early. The house was already covered in dust and the air smelled like old clothes. Katerina would know he hadn’t been living here, he couldn’t do a rush up cleaning as that would be tiring. But then, he didn’t want Katerina to know about his status yet. That was why he didn’t bring his car along or wore expensive clothes. He was wearing a black T-shirt and black jean pants with black sneakers signifying that he was still mourning his grandmother which wasn’t a thing to hide. His green pupils made him look spectacular in the black on black outfit. Whatever the case, he was going to have find a lie for Katerina, she can’t know the truth just yet. Because it might get to Lilian, and he wanted Lilian to find out herself, he didn’t want anyone to tell her. Tony walked around his old room, holding a brown carton paper where he was placing the things he was picking up from th

The frown appeared voluntarily on Laurel’s face as soon as she saw that it was Adonis, he wasn’t dressed like he used to. He was wearing a white T shirt on a Jean pants with sneakers on, even though he was casually dressed the Cartier watch on his wrist could be more expensive than everything Laurel was wearing, but she didn’t care. Unlike Tony, she noticed he had dark eyes and was not very handsome, well maybe that’s because she didn’t like him but they’d have the same physique and masculinity. Go away, Adonis, I’m late for work,” Laurel said, trying to manoeuvre her way around Adonis who stood right in her way. “You’re at work Laurel, and don’t worry Riley is my sister, she wouldn’t do anything if she knew I was the one who delayed you,” Adonis replied, he had a little grin curled up the corner of his lips. Laurel hated that grin, it was like he was always in control and she didn’t like it. “What do you want?” Laurel took a few steps backward, allowing Adonis to step out of the

Laurel fought back the tears that were threatening to fall off her eyes, it was too early to burst into tears. She shouldn’t really have allowed Adonis into her office, but how could she have known? This was the first time she was hearing something about any property, and the timing was definitely not coincidental. She really hoped in her heart that Tony didn’t make her his fiancée just to acquire his father’s properties. Despite the fact that she trusted him so much, she couldn’t deny the fact that what she just heard was troubling every fibre in her body; until she heard from Tony, she’d be restless. Laurel sniffed, and slowly raised her head up. She fought back the tears, but her eyes were a little teary. “What’s wrong? Laurel. Did I say something bad?” Adonis was surprised with the way she looked when she raised her head up. There was nothing he said that could make her feel bad, or does she know something he doesn’t? Lilian knew nothing about this, so he could have said maybe L

Laurel felt a huge thud on her chest. What the hell was Lilian doing here? Lilian had never visited her office unannounced, she hadn’t even visited her normally in the first place. One trouble just left and another was replacing it immediately, Laurel was frustrated, but she knew she had to let Lilian in if she didn’t want any suspicion from her. It’d be a miracle if she hadn’t bumped over Adonis on her way here. “Okay, send her in, thank you.” After like twenty seconds of extreme silence, Laurel replied as normal as she could. However, the secretary knew something wasn’t right, but that wasn’t her concern. Laurel adjusted herself, she was glad she hadn’t burst into tears a few minutes ago, Lilian would have known that something was up, speaking of which; she already knew if she actually bumped into Adonis. Laurel could only hope she didn’t. There was a slight knock on the office door, and Laurel called for the visitor to come in. Lilian walked in, wearing a flowery armless gown,
