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
"Mr Macpherson, we got to know that JENNA ORGE was your fiancée before you got married to Laura Olives. If you still had eyes for her, why did you get married to Another woman? " "Why did you think it was important to get married to another when you still have eyes for your ex ?" "Is this something you have always done? Assaulting women? And masquerading to the media like a perfect man?" All these questions Nicholas was bombarded without giving the chance to defend himself. "Does your wife enjoy being Assaulted? Is she not good in bed ? Was that the reason you decided to try Jenna out again? " A man asked from behind all the journalists. He was also one . The question infuriated Nicholas so much, he could use all the insults and derogatory questions against him but he would never accept a word against Laura. How dare you ? Nicholas Yelled out. "I will not accept statements against my wife"... "You c
"What Is this I'm hearing?" He had a paper; newspaper With him. "You couldn't do your dirty job alone, you had to drag your name through the mold?" He pointed the papers to Nicholas's face . "You have money, you can get any woman you want ,yet you decided to assault one? Not just any woman, Jenna. The same woman you didn't find interesting and worthy anymore. You fool". He threw the papers to the floor angrily . Laura couldn't believe what His father was saying." HE HAS MONEY AND CAN GET ANY WOMAN BE WANTED " Really? She didn't interfere with anything they were saying. In this case she was just an outsider listening to a father and his only son. "Fix this , I will not have you ruin the name I have built for so long. " Nicholas didn't say a word. There was so much tension between the two men. The father was filled with rage, the son was filled with so much built up anger and undigested fury from the conference hall. When He was done, he s
"I was scared to speak up, Nicholas Nicholas ain't no man any woman should be with. Some people were curious to know why we broke up,I broke up with him because I couldn't take it anymore. He laid his hands on me and forced himself on every chance he got .This might be my last , I don't know what he is going to do next ." After that tweet she made, she disappeared. Which further made the whole internet point fingers at Nicholas for having some to do with her disappearance. Some people even went as far as tagging Nicholas and telling her to leave the Marriage. Jenna was playing and she did that pretty well. She hit him where it hurts. Not just tarnish Nicholas's image but also dragging Nicholas with him.The news reached every nook and cranny of the city. Helen got to know so did Tony and Lucy. Ruth was so busy facing her life problems that she didn't have time for anything but to wallow In dally sorrows. Those were the only family Nicholas had. When
