Lauren’s P.O.V.

My heels clicked against the hard marble, echoing each step too loudly as if the space wanted the whole building to hear it.

I kept my shoulder straight and walked downstairs without any hesitation.

This was my territory.

Here, I answered no one.

I stopped at the entrance of Basement 3, raising my brows in surprise.

The lights were dimmed here, giving me a creepy feeling as if I had just entered the set of a horror movie.

The place was way too silent with just the faint hum of e

    Gabriel’s P.O.V. (Continued)“You are spying on me?” I asked her through my teeth.There was silence on her side for a few seconds, but I chuckled dryly.“Do you really think that you can control me, Celia?” I asked her mockingly.“Who are you to me?” I added without any hesitation.I heard her gasping, but I felt nothing.What was there for me to feel?“I told you the very first day you approached me that I would help you with your treatment as much as I could, but there will be no ties between us. For the world, you are my girlfriend, but that’s it.” I continued; my voice got colder with every word coming out of my mouth.She sobbed, and I hung up.I hated being controlled, and Celia was doing the same thing.I owed her a favor, and that’s why I divorced Lauren.My breath was ragging.I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm myself down.“You brought this upon yourself, Gabriel. Celia has always been like this. You knew this, and yet you let her come back when you should

    Caellum’s P.O.V. (Continued)For a few seconds, he stayed frozen in his place.His eyes widened in shock, and he just stared at me blankly.I didn’t have the patience to sit here and watch him.This man made my baby sister’s life miserable for three years, and in the end, what she got was divorce papers in gratitude.I looked at my wristwatch impatiently when he didn’t speak again.“If you have nothing else to say, leave the company premises, Mr. Westfield. My sister is not idle to entertain you, and I don’t want you to appear in front of her again. You have already hurt her enough,” I spoke coldly while standing up.His expression changed.He looked at me with a blank gaze this time.“So, you guys have already painted me as a villain, huh?” he asked, and I jerked my head backward in confusion, furrowing my brows lightly.He slowly stood up and adjusted his cufflinks before speaking up.“I know what I did wrong, Mr. Shaw, and I never hesitated admitting my mistake, but Lauren is not c

    Vincent’s P.O.V. (continued)“Lauren. She has started sleepwalking, and the problem is that she goes for knives during her walk,” I answered him in a serious tone.He gasped in shock and blinked hard while processing what I said.I gave him time to come out of his shock.“Did….. did you tell her about that?” he asked me after a while. He was still in a state of disbelief.“No,” I answered calmly.“Why not?”“Because she already has so many things to take care of, and I don’t want to add one more to that list,” I replied without any hesitation.“This is serious, Vincent. She must know,” Caellum argued, angry with me now.“I know, Caellum, but the problem is that her sleepwalk is not natural,” I argued back, my voice raised a bit.He was about to yell at me when his phone started ringing.He shut his mouth, but his face had turned dark by now.My phone also started ringing at the same time.I sighed and took my phone from the coffee table.He also took his call.“I sent you the report o

    Vincent’s P.O.V.“Why this look?” I asked Caellum while giving him a glass of wine.We both needed this.He took the glass from me but didn’t answer me immediately.He looked lost.And troubled.I didn’t press and slowly walked to the long couch.Lauren had a meeting to attend.She had already gone, but what we did half an hour ago was still reeling in our minds.“She has grown up,” Caellum mumbled while sipping the wine.I sat down comfortably and took a sip, too.“My baby sister has all grown up,” he mumbled again.I didn’t say a word in response because I was also in a state of trance.The next few minutes, we just sipped slowly while drowned in our thoughts.I didn’t know why, but my mind was still reeling from a line about Lauren that Liam told us that day.That they manipulated her genes, and that’s why Lauren’s brain was this sharp.She has always been intelligent and was called a prodigy by her teachers and professors, but what she did today was far from a prodigy status.She

    Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)Caellum’s jaw tightened more, but I knew that he got what I wanted to do.The silence in the room was thick with tension, but I was calm.He took a deep breath and slowly moved towards the main chair.“What do you want me to do, Ms. Shaw?” Nathaniel asked me in a firm and calm voice.I moved my gaze to the laptop screen.“I want you to take all the calls from all our partners and the investors. You know how to deal with them. Assign a team from the legal department to prepare documents. We are going to sue the institute for defamation, ruining my reputation, and causing financial loss to the company. You will get the details in a few minutes,” I instructed him calmly, logging in the cloud according to my memory.I didn’t have any memory related to those people or the incidents, but I remember the rest of the things.So, I knew very well where to find what I wanted to know.“Okay, Ms. Shaw,” Nathaniel answered me and then walked back to the door.“Caellum,”

    Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)“What is it?” I asked her in a concerned voice.She didn’t answer but approached me and raised her tablet towards me.I furrowed my brows but took the tablet from her.There was an article open on the screen, and the very first line turned my blood cold.“They have gone too far,” Carla muttered in a low and angry voice.I didn’t reply, but read the article.Every word written there was like a jab from a sharp knife.Vincent came back to me and sat down on the armrest beside me.He wrapped his hand around my shoulder from behind.But I just read without blinking.“I have already alerted the PR, and Mr. Shaw is also informed.” Carla continued informing me in a suppressed and low voice.“Don’t suppress this,” I ordered her coldly, still reading.She didn’t react immediately.The silence in the room was thick.I felt numb for a few seconds while finishing the article.This was their blatant personal attack on me, but it’s going to hurt the company too.They wer

    Lauren’s P.O.V.“I don’t think that Celia is that hot,” Lillith commented in a mumble after I finished my video conference with Wilson.They were in the room too, but Wilson couldn’t see them.So, he remarked on a few things about what could have happened in Celia’s room that led to Gabriel’s injur

    Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)For a few seconds, I couldn’t even blink…Divorce Certificate….I forgot that the cooling-off period is going to end in a few days, and then Gabriel and I will be strangers to each other.I rubbed my chest when I felt a sharp pain in the middle of my chest.“Are you okay

    Lauren’s P.O.V.“Good morning, bro,” I greeted Caellum while taking my chair beside the dining table.“Are you going to the lab today again?” He asked me worriedly, and I nodded in response while a maid poured a glass of milk for me.I didn’t like having coffee or tea in the morning.“You are tirin
