تسجيل الدخولGabriel’s P.O.V.“The Shaws and the Holsters are friends from generations, but they never have any marriage alliance or a business arrangement for marriage. According to the information I received, their friendship has no business interest involved.” Victor reported calmly, his eyes glued on his tablet.I listened to him intently.“Mr. Caellum Shaw and Mr. Vincent Holster have been friends ever since they started walking, but their friendship strengthened after they met again in primary school.”He paused and took a deep breath.“We can say that Mr. Vincent Holster has seen Ms Lauren Shaw grew up in front of his eyes.”My jaw tightened, but there was nothing that I could do to reverse this.“After they started dating eight years ago, Mr. Vincent Holster’s mother, Mrs. Serena Holster, never approved their relationship because she wanted a woman devoted to home and Mr. Vincent Holster instead of having her own career.”I scowled.What era is this?Every woman thinks about having her own
Vincent’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Hey,” I called her, but almost broke into a run when she approached the main door instead of the bathroom door, as I thought that she wanted to go to the bathroom.I didn’t try to stop her, though.I just followed her outside the room with my phone recording her.I wanted to record it and show it to Caellum and her tomorrow morning.We had cameras here. Yet I recorded it from a close distance.Her eyes were open, but she wasn’t blinking.They were lifeless, just like when a person sleepwalks.I was just two steps behind her, enough distance to not let her sense my presence behind her.But close enough to save her from a fall or a collision.She walked in steady steps.She was already familiar with the layout of the penthouse.She didn’t even falter once on the stairs.Her pace was slow, but not deliberately slow.It was as if she had the whole time in the world to go downstairs.I slowly followed her, curious to see what she really wanted to do.She stopp
Vincent’s P.O.V. (Continued)Lauren told us once that she was missing so many memories of her youth.We believed in her.And now, reading this, I actually felt scared for her.He took advantage of a child’s innocence with his fake care.I needed to ask Caellum if she had ever given her that chocolate.I continued reading with a storm going on inside my mind.I didn’t need to wait for long when an entry about the orphanage came.“Mom promised me that she will take me to the orphanage, but she is still on her business trip.What do I do now?Mom said that there are so many children there.I want to meet them.But I can’t go there without Mom.I really want to go there.”She made some sad and crying emojis on the rest of the page.She wanted to go there badly just because there were so many children.I continued flipping pages to know when she went to the orphanage for the first time.But the rest of the pages didn’t have anything about that green-eyed uncle and the orphanage.She wrote
Vincent’s P.O.V.“When will you come to sleep?” Lauren asked me sleepily, making me look at her.I still had some tasks to finish before sleeping tonight.“Just ten more minutes, love. You sleep.” I answered her coaxingly.She mumbled something and then put her head down on the pillow.I smiled helplessly and continued finishing my work.But it was just an excuse.I needed to go through her journal in her cloud.I had everything downloaded on my laptop already.But I still needed her to fall asleep before I started going through her journals.I had her permission, but I didn’t want things to be awkward between us.After finishing reviewing the last file, I sent everything to Nolan, I opened the folder that had everything that can answer so many questions related to Lauren and her condition.No one other than me and Caellum knew that she had regained her memories.So, Liam and Roman’s sudden arrival in her life rang an alarm in my mind.If what Lauren told me about Roman, his arrival s
Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)I bit his earlobe teasingly.His whole body stiffened, but it only made me giggle in pleasure.He couldn’t stop the car because Caellum’s was right behind us, and our bodyguards were also following us in three different cars.“Behave, Lauren,” he warned me again, but the restrain in his voice dangerous.“What if I don’t?” I asked him huskily, my lips were still on his earlobe.“I am driving.” He reasoned in the same way.“And I am having my feast.” I mumbled into his ear.This was me before the accident.A real seductress for Vincent.The veins on his temple throbbed.I moved my lips towards his temple and kissed those veins gently.“Just you wait.” He muttered under his breath.“I am staying with Caellum tonight,” I replied playfully, moving my lips from his temple to his jaw.“The hell you are.” He grunted and I laughed.We were in the middle of the traffic.And I loved my life dearly.After going through so many accidents, I can’t deny that I wasn’t trau
Lauren’s P.O.V.“Yeah. It’s better if we go home. I wanted to lie down for a while before having dinner,” I mumbled tiredly while moving inside the elevator, still leaning on Vincent.He released my hand and wrapped his hand around my shoulder protectively.“Then what about me?” Evan asked timidly.I didn’t even need to look at him.I was sure that he was still walking behind Caellum.“You need to come with us, Evan. After you pulled that stunt in front of Liam, do you really think that you will be able to survive the night alone?” I replied to him sarcastically.The elevator door closed after he entered the elevator.“What do you mean?” he asked me in a panicked tone.Evan was from a middle-class working family. He was the third child with not much financial support from the family.He paved his way to the institute through his hard work.I knew that he meant well by defending Vincent in front of Liam, but Liam’s sudden arrival was a calculated move.And my enemy was ruthless enough
Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)I looked at Vincent and then back to Gabriel, who was now coming towards us.Now I understand the meaning of Vincent’s earlier statement.“You should have told me,” I muttered angrily, huffed, and moved back to the table.Suddenly, the food looked bland and tasteless.I
Gabriel’s P.O.V.“You’re home.” I smiled tiredly when Celia welcomed me with a soft smile.I put down my suit jacket on the backrest of the couch and crouched in front of her wheelchair.“Why are you still awake? It’s past midnight, love.” I asked her in concern, taking her hand in mine.“I was wai
Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)“What the f**k? Are you trying to kill me by popping out of nowhere in front of me?” I yelled at Gabriel Westfield, my now ex-husband.My hold on my suitcase was so tight that I almost dug my nails inside my palm in fear.“What are you wearing?” he asked me in a shocked
Lauren’s P.O.V.I looked at the stack of cold white papers on which black letters were mocking at me. Three years of endurance, hardship, and commitment brought what….A Divorce Agreement…..I am just a normal human.When I signed up for this assignment, I knew what could come my way in the future,
