Chapter 69Shane bit his lips slowly. She must be mad at him. It's his fault anyways, he should have tried to call her again or even try to come see her yesternight." Layla.. please, I'm sorry " He muttered and twisting the door knob unconsciously, she noticed she hadn't locked the door. He let out a sigh of relief and walked in. She wasn't in the living room when he got there and thought she was probably in her room.There were two rooms and he was oblivious of which to enter. He hadn't entered her room before, he had only stepped into their living room. He didn't have the time to check out the beauty of the house interior as he was more focused on getting to Layla and apologizing.He pushed one of the two doors opened and it was like he was fortunate, the first room he entered was where Layla was. She laid on the bed, shivering and he rushed to her immediately after closing the door." Hey, are you okay? " He asked worriedly as he helped her pull the blanket to cover her body prope
Chapter 70Layla opened her eyes lightly and Shane's arm were wrapped around her. He was still asleep and she stared endlessly at his handsome face. Shane tossed sleepily to her side and their face came in contact with each other and their lips touched lightly. Layla took advantage of what happened as she moved a bit closer and kissed him deeply, Shane opened his eyes slightly and when he saw it was Layla. He responded and kissed her back. Shane broke the kiss. " You're fine now? " Shane asked as he touched her forehead and her temperature was back to normal. He wanted to know if she was still cold. " No, I'm fine now. All thanks to you " She said and he let out a smile.They both sat up at the same time like they had planned and they looked at each other in suprise before letting out a chuckle.Shane's hand grabbed his phone and his eyes widened at his missed calls. Layla noticed his look. " Is it late already? " Layla asked and he shook his head." Not really, it's just that I go
Chapter 71Layla got the coffee and walked over to Shane's office. She knocked gently at the door and instead of she hearing a command for her to come in, she only heard approaching footsteps. She raised her brows slightly as she was a bit confused. They didn't want her in or what?The door finally opened and Brielle appeared. " Here " She handed over the coffee to her. Brielle let out a little smile as she collected the coffee from Layla but Layla noticed her expression changed slowly." Is something wrong? " She was forced to ask, not like she cared anyways. " Yeah, the coffee is cold " Brielle muttered and Layla raised her brows." Yeah, who would want a hot coffee in the afternoon? " Layla asked in confusion. " Um, he actually likes hot coffee and it doesn't matter which time of the day, please get him a hot one " Brielle said." Oh " Layla muttered and then nodded. She collected the coffee back from her and Brielle walked back in, closing the door. " Where's the coffee? " She hea
Chapter 72" What are you talking about? " Layla asked almost in a stutter. " You know absolutely nothing about him. I have known him for years and I know literally everything about him. But you.. I don't even think you know what his worst fear is? " She asked and Layla looked away defeated.Brielle chuckled. " I guess I'm right then. I would advise you little lady. Give up. He's mine " She said sternly and stood up with a fake smile as she walked over to Shane. She sat down and Shane passed him a questioning look, she only smiled at him.**It was time for Layla to leave for home and she decided against going to Shane's office. She walked out of the company and headed home straight." She's not coming? " Shane didn't know when he said that out aloud. Normally, Layla would be in his office at that moment, probably to bade him goodnight. She does that always before going home." I guess she ain't coming today then " Brielle said walking in. Shane raised his brows. " You mean Layla righ
Chapter 73" Layla.. " Shane called sadly and hurtfully. " Please. Please let's do this " She muttered and he let out a sigh. " Is it what you really want? We could fix things, you know? We don't have to break apart. I promised to amend things and set things straight and right and I would. Please.. " Shane pleaded but she shook her head." It's what I want. I'm sorry " She muttered and Shane shut his eyes hurtfully as he tries to prevent his tears from falling. He looked up at her and Layla had to hide her hurt look. She knew Shane wouldn't be okay and he would definitely feel hurt but she only wants the best for him. She feels she's not good enough for him." Shane, please. Let's just put an end to this. You should love Brielle instead, she's your wife. Try to love her please " Layla pleaded but Shane shook his head." Is she the one that told you to do this!? Is she threatening you? " Shane asked as more tears rolled down his cheeks." Shane.. " " Layla I love you! " Shane raised h
Chapter 74* Next Day ** Shane's Mansion *" You're back " Brielle said happily as Shane walked in into the mansion with a neutral expression on - or maybe he had no expression on." Sorry for getting you all worried " Was all he said to her as he walked over to the stairs without sparing her a glance. Brielle rushed after him almost immediately, by then he had walked in into his suite. She caught up with him and stood at his front, making him pause on his tracks. " What is it? " He wasn't in the mood for a round of questions or talks. He wasn't in the mood to talk at all.He had cried all night and his head at that moment was probably spinning. He just had to keep it in 'cause he still had tons of files to tend do at work." Are you okay? " Brielle asked worriedly. " Do I not look okay? " He asked with no expression on. " Layla told me you two broke up? Is that really true? " She asked, looking really worried but Shane wasn't really noticing her worried expression. He had other thi
Chapter 75Brielle pulled away from the hug and wiped her tears slowly. " I'm sorry " Shane muttered and Brielle let out a sad smile. " It's fine " She muttered sadly.Shane sighed and ruffled his hair slowly. " We should continue with our work right? " Brielle said, clearing the intense atmosphere." Yeah " Shane nodded and watched as Brielle walked back to the couch. It was obvious she wasn't okay. Shane let out a sad sigh. This was all he had been trying to avoid. How he would handle Brielle and not toy with her emotions if he would choose Layla over her but now he's hurting her emotions. And now he partially lost Layla already. And he doesn't even feel a thing for Brielle anymore, the only person his heart is beating for at the moment is Layla and now they broke up already. He sighed for the umpteenth time.He got up from his seat and walked over to Brielle who sobbed silently. He sat beside her and held her hands into his palms. " Brielle.. I... I really didn't mean to do this t
Chapter 76" Can that happen? " She asked and Brielle let out an unbelievably scoff. " Watch it happen " She said with an eye roll as she walked away leaving Layla alone in deep thoughts. Is his feelings for me really going to fade off? Would I really be at a losing point?Layla let out a sigh as that gave her a terrible headache again. She couldn't think properly.** Next Day *** Kent's Enterprise *" Morning " Layla greeted Tina as she walked into their office. Tina was a bit suprised to see her. She raised her brows questioningly. " You came to work? " She asked suprisingly and Layla nodded. " I guess " Layla muttered as she walked over to her seat. Tina got up from her seat and walked over to her." You know you're causing harm to yourself right? " She asked and Layla raised her brows tho she seemed to get a hint of what she was about saying to her." Claus told me about the matter between you and Shane " She said and Layla nodded, her thoughts were right anyways." Do you thi
