"What's…. Wrong? Why are you like this? Tony, you are free of all the charges against you. Why do you look so gloomy?" Laura questioned him and so did Helen.Nicholas was Seated on the couch In the office legs crossed watching all that was going on closely. He signaled the inspector to break the newsTony still didn't say a word. They both were inquiring and curiously worried. When Pete, Josh and Lilian walked in. All were accompanied by two policemen." Mrs Macpherson, here is your cooperation. " The inspector told her having his seat.What was Lilian doing there? It all didn't make sense to either Laura or Helen. One side was the dumbstruck Tony who was occupied In his thoughts, the other side was Nicholas who was relaxed while watching the drama unfolding. Lasky cooperates."Can someone say something to me?" Laura snapped."Madam, these are your cooperates.""These three here confessed to their crimes.""Truly Tony went on a dateLaura and Helen were in Tony's room to cheer him up. Laura was to return to Nicholas's house that evening; she had just a few hours before his driver came to pick her up. Helen knocked on the closed room door and waited for a response before making her way in to prevent any disturbing sight she would say to Laura. Tony had his headphones on. He was unable to hear the continuous knock on the door. He saw Laura barge In with Helen behind her with her eyes closed. Helen still wasn't so sure if to open her eyes or not till Laura tapped her head. "Silly "...... Helen jumped on his bed and wrapped her Around his neck. Tony had already taken off the headphones he had on. Laura has drawn a chair from the side of his table to sit in front of them."I never thought I was going to miss hearing your taunting so much".Helen kissed his cheeks. Tony playfully wiped her wet lips off his cheek. "Ewww can you not do that?" He frowned with a funny face. "You shou
Jenna responded to Laura like she was the guest. She took her seat without further ado.Laura was in total disbelief. "You have some nerves, don't you ? What do you want?" Laura asked not to move an inch from where she was standing. She was standing four feet into the lounge entrance. While Jenna was sitting now on the Browne leather chair. "I should be asking you what you are doing here. I see you recovered so soon. Didn't you? My plans to humiliate you failed""What do you mean?"Jenna opened her mouth gasping for breath. "Oh my God, you didn't know?" She snapped her tongue and shook her head. " Nicholas knows about this, how come you didn't?" She dropped her glass on the table and stood up moving slowly to where Laura was. "I thought your husband, Nicholas Macpherson told you already? He didn't? I'm sure he didn't". She chucked. Laura knew nothing about where Jenna was staying. If she could have just stopped being annoying and unnecessarily sa
Laura was waiting impatiently for Nicholas. Why did Jenna's words get through to her so many hours later? She didn't think of any of Jenna's words through not until she was alone for a few hours. Then her words were coming back. " What was Jenna so upset about ?"Why did Nicholas let her go and also tell her nothing about Jenna's plan?" It was about her life and she needed to know what was going on. Why did they break up? Why did he leave her after he asked for her hands in marriage? Why didn't he tell her about Jenna? Why should he tell her thoughts? Nicholas had no relationship or emotional attachment aside from the contract. Was Jenna Right when she said Nicholas was unable to deliver emotional attachment? Was it a pity to be felt for her and her siblings? She trusted Nicholas so much. Surprisingly. She barely even started to be his wife. Laura started to question her thoughts and trust with Jenna's words backing up the claim. So many questions Laur
"You work for me, let it stay that way. Do not try to interfere in my personal life. A worker stays a worker. A slave stays A slave no matter how long they have worked, that never turns to family." Why was he so hyper about a harmless question?Laura didn't know what to say. On one hand, she was thankful that he saved her life and gave back to her honor by going on national TV. Praising his beloved wife for being brave, adding to all that she was thankful he saved her brother a few days ago. And now? His words broke her into a million pieces. Jenna had one thing right, he didn't do it out of pity and save for his name. Laura scoffed, a scoff of "What were you expecting from him..' A scoff of disbelief but Realization accompanied by sharp chest pain.Laura realized she had been fooling herself all along. Fooling herself with the thoughts that they could be more. When all he saw her as was just a woman in his house bounded by a contract for one year nothing more noth
"He loves you? Ruth do you have any idea what you are doing over again? " Laura broke her policy for the first time . There is no way she could just listen to what Ruth said without giving her a reply immediately. For Christ's sake the same thing happened the last time . It always looks like love turns sour. " Just listen to me Laura, he does love me. I have seen it myself and you know that he is married or entangled with any other woman but me . ". A lie. Clayton was entangled with many women. She just didn't know about it . "Just like Mark loved you?" Laura asked . " ouch, that was a low blow Laura." Again they both chuckled in between the serious conversation. "Sorry.. silly ""That's not even the Point. Mark came here . Mark is working on a deal With Clayton here in London. I…. I don't know what to do …. I ""Okay that's fucked up ,it shouldn't bother you so much you know. You moved on and since Clayton is fine with his presence I think you should
The hot coffee spilled on his shirt and on the hardcover of the documents. Laura immediately dropped the cup to the ground, the file also on the ground. The burns of the coffee was unbearable. The coffee already soaked into his shirt, singlet and his bare skin. " Why are you so clumsy?" He yelled at her. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."She immediately started to dust off the wet coffee from his shirt hurriedly. The look of Concern and fear of hurting him is the unintentional crime she just committed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Nicholas looked down at her shirt and his eyes caught beauty. Her shiny hair that shines brighter with the ray of sun reflecting on her. Her lips kept moving with the words " I'm sorry " . Her tiny hands that had the diamond ring on his chest. Her cleavage and the locket placed on it . Nicholas was lost in everything. Her morning face was even more attractive than her Sexy dress up face. Her ears, the silver earrings that sparkled and r
She regained consciousness an hour later. Slowly opening her eyes to the Ray of sun reflecting on her face . Her head was aching, the last thing she remembered was her standing up and feeling dizzy .She was on the bed with a strange man. His stethoscope was enough to tell who he was .Nicholas was standing by the bedside with his two hands in his pocket. When she blacked out, he was there to catch her on time before falling to the ground. The man finished examining her ... .unlocked his briefcase and packed up something of his instrument;thermometer, the stethoscope and his sphygmomanometer. "She needs rest , she is going through stress . Ensure she uses her medication too."He packed up and left .Laura tried not to make contact with Nicholas ."Use your medications and get rest like the doctor said ".He was already at the door about to go out . "He also said I'm going through stress remember.""I heard that perfectly." "What ab
When she was done, she had her bath and went back to bed. For a week now, waking up, having her coffee,getting breakfast, lunch and dinner in bed and of course having Petite arguments With Nicholas was her daily dose of a complete day .Neither Tony nor Helen knew about her health. Laura had no idea what was going on with her too .One minute she is okay and the next she is lying helplessly on the bed. Still insisting on avoiding the hospital. She watched the sun rise and go down everyday through the window. She was waiting impatiently for Nicholas to come back. She wanted to confront him with the truth.Not like she didn't like it , she loved it . Immediately Rey came back from work that evening, she had gathered all the strength she had left In her to fight about something so petite. Trust Rey wouldn't let her down with his sharp words and counter attack. "MR Nicholas MACPHERSON, the amazing businessman with Excellent coffee knowledge, welcomed home
