FAZER LOGINLauren’s P.O.V.“This shouldn’t be happening, Lauren. His wound shouldn’t be inflamed like this,” Evan said to me in a serious tone, his brows knit tightly.I didn’t reply to him because I also had the same thought.“He is not the only one. Two of those guards also faced the same problem this morning. I have already sent all the bullets that I extracted from them for further lab testing.” He continued, but my mind was racing with its own thoughts.It meant that one of the guards sent by Seraphina had bullets laced with something poisonous.Vincent was now on a heavy dose of antibiotics through an IV drip, and he was still unconscious.“You don’t worry, girl. He is strong, and I am sure that he will wake up in a few hours.” Evan tried to comfort me and patted my shoulder slightly, but I didn’t register a thing.My eyes were fixed on Vincent’s face that had lost all its color.He looked so white as if….I breathed shakily and took a deep breath to keep myself calm.Elise Voss…She court
Lauren’s P.O.V.“Don’t press your body on me,” I grumbled in my sleep, trying to move away from Vincent, but he pulled me back and pressed his chest against my back.“I am cold,” he mumbled, and I rolled my eyes in my sleep.I slowly moved my face in his direction, trying to open my eyes, but sleep refused to leave my eyes.“You are warm,” he mumbled, trying to hide his face on my nape, but I moved my neck away.“And your stitches are going to tear at any time,” I scolded him angrily, still trying to open my eyes.He didn’t say a word in reply again.I huffed and managed to open my eyes.His eyes were closed, and he fell asleep once again.“You.” I growled, but slumped my head back on the pillow and closed my eyes.My alarm didn’t go off.So, I guess it was still too early to wake up.I wanted to sleep, but Vincent’s body felt hotter than it should.I opened my eyes again when a sudden thought crossed my mind.“Vincent,” I called him softly, but he didn’t even stir a little.His body
Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Why do you want to know about her?” I asked him in confusion.“And why are you asking me to do that?” I added when he opened his mouth to reply.“Because they have their eyes on me, but not on you.” He answered, and I huffed.“They don’t know who you are in the world of hackers,” he teased and I punched his shoulder.“Ouch. I am hurt,” he complained in a painful voice.“Not on the shoulder," I retorted and stood up abruptly, but he pulled me back by my waist.“Hey, listen to me, love,” he insisted teasingly.I didn’t try to move away forcefully because he was still injured.“You are making fun of me and still want me to stay here?” I scowled darkly while sitting back on the armrest, still facing him.“I am not making fun of you, love. I am praising you. If it weren’t for your hidden talents, I would have to find a professional hacker, and it will be a hassle. Besides.” He clicked his tongue and pressed at the back of my waist, pushing me closer to him.The
Lauren’s P.O.V.“You actually shot her, Vincent. What the hell were you thinking?” Seraphina screamed at the top of her lungs through the phone.“And what were you thinking, arranging that blind date?” Vincent shot back, making me hold his shoulders from behind.I was standing behind the single couch where he was sitting.He didn’t realize it at the time, but a bullet also scraped his arms and legs in a few places.Those wounds were not deep, but he was still injured.“I want you to be married and have a family. What’s wrong with me wanting this?” Seraphine didn’t back down.“Nothing is wrong with that, but the woman that you chose for the blind date thought so highly of her that she tried to take me away by force. Do you really expect from me that I let her trample over me just because you chose her? She is the one who pulled a gun on me, first. She brought it on herself.” The anger in his voice was still evident even when he managed to lower the tempo of his voice.Vincent got his s
Vincent’s P.O.V. (Continued)We all squatted down instantly.“Aaahhhh.” Elise's shrill scream tore through the night air, but I didn’t even spare a single glance at her.My bodyguards had already covered me from all sides, but I continued shooting at the people who appeared out of nowhere.My phone continued vibrating in my pocket, but I didn’t have time to pick up the call.“Your mother is calling. Move towards your car.” Lauren said to me in a calm tone.I furrowed my brows when all the bodyguards around me started moving while shooting.Elise was now screaming at the top of her lungs.She wasn’t my problem.I furrowed my brows when a familiar face peeked out of the car window, and people were shooting at us.So, it was really my mother.It seemed that she had so much idle time on her hands these days.With a grimace, I moved my pistol towards Elise again and saw a man trying to pull her up.Without thinking, I aimed at his leg and shot him.He screamed and fell forward.Straight on
Vincent’s P.O.V. (Continued)“I will simply send her the file with everything on your private life.” The threat in my statement made her widen her eyes in shock and disbelief.“And you already know how vast my mother’s network is.” This was just to remind her that she shouldn’t act recklessly while reporting this dinner date to my mother.It’s not like I didn’t know that my mother had already sent someone to keep an eye on us during dinner.Nolan caught everyone, but I asked him not to touch that particular person.Let my mother know on her own what kind of woman she chose for me.I moved on my heel and started walking again.There were only a few private counters on the floor, but all of them were filled tonight.The heads popping over the partition were enough to tell that all the people heard everything.But they knew what to say outside or what not.“Do you really think that your mother will let you marry her?” I stopped at the door when Elise screamed behind me.“Let me tell you,
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
Gabriel’s P.O.V.The pen slipped from my fingers when another wave of headache hit me.I didn’t know when I stopped signing the documents, but the headache is now troubling more than ever.After Lauren’s departure, nothing went right.I didn’t want to admit it, but I couldn’t deny that with Lauren
Lauren’s P.O.V.“During the first phase of the treatment plan, the crucial problem was to prepare the patient psychologically for the treatment. They suddenly lose their mobility, and this sudden change in their lives, the depression engulfed every positive thought present in their mind and hope in
Gabriel’s P.O.V.I thought that admitting my mistake of misunderstanding Lauren would ease my guilt of asking for a divorce, but it only made me feel worse.I painted her as a gold digger in my heart before asking for a divorce, but what I learned in the past two days made me feel worse than I felt
