LOGINGabriel’s P.O.V. (Continued)She didn’t say a word, but I heard a faint gasp.Yes, I wasn’t happy, because Lauren Shaw, the woman whom I discarded without a single thought, was happy with another man out there while I was living hell every day.“She is now your past, Gabriel. Leave your habit of going back to your past. You brought Celia back; now live your life with her. Don’t disturb Lauren from now on. Concentrate on your life and your business.” She instructed me tiredly, but I shook my head furiously.“No, Mom. I can’t do this. I can’t stay away from her.” I said to her in a cracked voice, sniffed hard, and then looked at her.I was taken off guard by the look on her face and forgot what I was about to say.She looked ten years older than her present age, and the exhaustion on her face was something that I had seen years ago when she first learned about Dad’s betrayal.She was rubbing her forehead, and I could see tears resting on her eyelashes.“I am tired, Gabriel. From now on,
Gabriel’s P.O.V.“You sent her a legal notice? The woman who made you stand up again and live a normal life, you sent her a legal notice? Since when did you become this ungrateful, Gabriel?” Mom yelled at me while throwing the glass of wine that she had in her hands when I entered the room.“She used me, Mom,” I yelled, feeling glad that I dodged on time.“How did she use you?” she yelled back, shooting up at her feet.“Tell me, Gabriel. How did she use you? Did she get any monetary benefit from you by treating you? Shares? Properties? Jewelleries? What did you give her as compensation?” she asked angrily, taking a step forward in my direction.I opened my mouth but couldn’t say a word.“She told you that she found me in bad shape one day, and then things went on and on, and she agreed to treat you, but I forced her to marry you, right?” she continued yelling at me, her eyes were now throwing daggers at me.I just listened to her, stunned by what she asked.“But the truth is that I ap
Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)“What did you say?” I yelled in shock, coughing a little in the process.“The email also has a legal notice attached.” Ryan added in a serious tone.I was too stunned to speak again.Ryan also went silent.Marcus held my hand and squeezed my fingers gently.“I will handle this. Don’t pay attention to him. I know what is going on.” I instructed him with a grim expression.“What are you going to do, Lauren?” Ryan asked me worriedly.“Nothing much. He sent a legal notice, then we will follow the procedure,” I replied to him with a confident smile.“Okay.” He replied and took a deep breath.“I will call you later after sorting those resumes, Ryan. For the time being, I will handle our official mail. This is the first mail, but not the last,” I instructed him again, looking at a blank spot in front of me with a determined gaze.“Stay safe, Lauren. I am not getting a good vibe.” Ryan said to me worriedly.“You don’t worry. Everything will be okay,” I comforted hi
Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)I sighed and slowly straightened my back, removing my hands from his waist.“I got a box filled with papers related to that project, Uncle,” I told him calmly.His eyes widened in shock.“That’s impossible!” he exclaimed in shock.I smiled faintly.“I know, Uncle, but this is true. I know my father’s writing very well, and no… that isn’t forged.” I shook my head at the end of the statement.“That’s really impossible, Lauren. I don’t know much about what exactly that project was, but they took a week to wipe the whole lab in and out.” He told me, and now it was my turn to be surprised.“How much do you know about that project?” I asked him seriously, tilting my head a little.He took a deep breath and looked around.“You don’t worry. This place is secured.” I assured him.His action told me that he also knew that I was monitored.“I don’t know much about that project, Lauren, but all the test subjects had severe PTSD. Three of them were kept chained all the
Third Person’s P.O.V.She lived up to her name by anticipating all my moves and handling them unexpectedly well.The second she looked at the camera; I knew that she had already caught me.But I didn’t leave the system immediately.Curiosity kills the cat, and now I was glaring at the crashed server, not knowing whether to be amazed by her retaliation or to throw everything in a fit of rage.I should have left the system at that time. Instead, I got curious about her next move, resulting in the crash of our server here.“I confirmed, Alpha. He is in a meeting for the last hour and didn’t leave his seat, not even for a minute,” Vulture3, one of my finest men, told me in a monotonous tone.“She is more intelligent than I had anticipated,” I mumbled, still trying to suppress my anger, but the headache started that familiar ringing sound in my ears.“Here.” I took the medicine from the tablet and put it in my mouth immediately.If Vincent wasn’t behind this crash of my server, then who he
Lauren’s P.O.V.“Oh, come on, Mr. Dickson. You have been in this business before I was even born. Yet, you think that a company like us will have no backup?” I asked the COO of Franklin & Co. with a sly smile, indifferent and completely at ease.It was my reply to his question of how we are supposed to have materials for our ongoing projects.He clenched his jaw while staring at me blankly.As soon as they got our agreement letter to terminate the contract and asked for the penalty fee, they called and asked for this meeting.I wasn’t sure why they wanted me to be here when Nathaniel could take care of this matter better than me.So, I was here, listening to his nonsense.Nathaniel cleared his throat, making me raise my brows questioningly.“Did I say something wrong?” I asked him innocently.“We have been partners for more than eleven years.” Mr. Roman Dickson spoke grimly.“And yet you didn’t hesitate to terminate the contract the second you were offered a bit higher price than ours
