Chapter 8
PAULINE
Larry did not even look guilty or ashamed instead, there was a smirk on his stupid handsome face.
He walked up to me, pulled me closer to himself and tucked in my hair behind my hair.
"If I could do it to Leslie who is better than you, why do you think I can not do same to you?" He whispered in my ears.
Cold shivers ran down my spine and I was utterly speechless.
"You jerk! Asshole! How could you? I did not seduce you to cheat on Leslie! You came to me!" I yelled angrily at Larry who was walking toward the stairs to his room.
"You are the reason for our breakup. If not for you, I would still be with timid Leslie and enjoying her money. I mean, do you think I'd leave the third wealthiest family daughter just to be with you? Keep on dreaming!" He yelled right back at me.
"You are shameless Larry and I will ruin you. Don't think you can get away with this. I'm not like Leslie that left without doing anything even when she had the power and money to do something.
But I'm different. I will do everything to ruin you. You messed with the wrong person." I yelled at him. Even if I don't have money and power like Leslie do, I'll still do everything in my power to ruin him.
He showed me his middle finger and left.
"Dress up let's go!" I snapped at Anna who was only in a towel that could barely cover her butt.
"I'm sorry Pauline." She bent her head in shame.
"It's okay. Not like you knew he was my boyfriend." I replied and left.
Larry must pay for humiliating me. I agree that this is karma. I knew he was Leslie's boyfriend then but I still slept with him and dated him behind my friend's back.
This is karma getting back at me.
LESLIE
I yawned lightly from my short nap and climbed down from the bed. I looked around and Caden was not in sight. I slipped my foot into my flip flops.
I left the room and went to the kitchen and there, I met Caden eating grapes.
"Hi," I said to him and walked over to the fridge and took out a bottle of water. I gulped it down and threw the can away in the waste bin.
"You are awake? I thought you were not going to wake up." Caden teased.
"What do you mean? It's not even evening yet." I rolled my eyes. Caden looked at me and laughed.
"It's nightfall already." Caden replied. He placed another grape in his mouth and chewed. "I get why you feel that way, it's because everywhere is bright inside the house but it's dark outside." He added.
"What?" I asked in disbelief. I went to the sitting room to check the time and it was fifteen minutes past seven.
"Wow! I did not know I slept for so long. I slept for four hours, I must have been really tired." I stated.
"I thought so too." He replied.
Just when he was about to put the last piece of grape in his mouth, I took it from the bowl and placed it in my mouth.
"Huh? Why did you do that? It's mine." He grumbled like a child.
I stuck out my tongue a little at him and gave him a "I won"look.
Just then, Caden moved closer to me, titled my head and kissed me deeply, taking the grape right into his own mouth.
I was so shocked that I didn't know what to say.
"What did you just do?" I managed to ask still in shock. My cheeks had gone pretty hot.
He chewed the grape and stuck out his tongue like a child at me.
"It's mine," He said with a teasing smile.
"That was cheap of you. You could not even leave the last grape for me." I grumbled and glared at him.
"Your eyes will hurt from too much glaring." He chuckled.
"Your strawberries are in the fridge and I got grapes for myself. I did not know you liked grape, I would have gotten many," He said.
"Grapes are my favorite!" I did not know when I yelled.
I was so pained that I did not get to eat the grape but I liked the fact that he kissed me to take it from me.
"Are you sick? Your face is red." He suddenly gasped and touched my face. I removed his hand from my face and bit my lower lip.
"I'm not sick." I replied. I was even more embarrassed because I was blushing just from the mere thought of him kissing and taking the grape out of my mouth.
Just then, Caden caught me unaware by placing a quick kiss on my lips.
"You are just too pretty and cute," He said.
I widened my eyes in shock and just stared at him.
"You don't have to act surprise anytime I kiss you. You are—" Caden was saying but I caught him off with a kiss.
His eyes widened but he closed them and deepened the kiss.
He raised me up and placed me on the counter. He trailed kisses from lips down to my neck. His hands went into my shirt and his hand caressed my back.
His other hand was on my thigh. He placed his hand inside my baggy shorts and caressed my thigh.
God! I was so hot.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him even harder. His hand went to my boobs and he squeezed it gently from my bra while I let out a soft moan.
He took me from the counter and carried me into the bedroom.
He laid on me on the bed and hurriedly started to pull his hoodie.
He laid back on my body and resumed kissing me.
Just as he took off my shirt, I pulled abruptly away from the kiss.
I was back to my senses yet again like the previous night.
"Wait! I just got my period!" I didn't know when I yelled those words that were lies and slipped away from under him and left the room. Again.
Chapter 9LESLIEJust as he took off my shirt, I pulled abruptly away from the kiss.I was back to my senses yet again like the previous night."Wait! I just got my period!" I didn't know when I yelled those words that were lies and slipped away from under him and left the room. Again.With just my bra on and my shorts, I went to the other room that I could use as mine.My heart was thumping so loud and I was suddenly scared.I just don't want to fall in love with Caden because I know he is not mine and will never be mine.I was afraid of getting pregnant too if I had sex with me. It's actually going to be my first time and I feared that I might get pregnant and that will ruin everything.I'm not supposed to love him or even get pregnant for him. That was not part of the plan.I'm just to pretend to be Lauren and be his wife till Lauren was healed.I don't want any complications in the future.Just when I was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door and it could only be Caden."
Chapter 10LAUREN"Mom, when will I be having the operation and going back home? I missed Caden and I can't wait to go to our home and live with him as his wife." I complained to mom.It's been three days since we arrived here in South Korea and in the hospital but I have not heard anything from the doctor about my surgery.Mom looked very sad and worried, I knew there was something wrong. "You have to talk to me mom, something happened didn't it?" I asked her.I sat on top of the bed and looked at her.Mom held my hand and caressed it gently with unshed tears in her eyes."I'm sorry Lauren but we are not going to be leaving here anytime soon. Your donor's family suddenly changed their mind and refused.I pleaded with them but they refused, they did not even give an explanation as to why they changed their minds at the last minute. We are looking for another donor but it is going to be very difficult." Mom explained. The tears she was trying to hold came running down her cheeks.I w
Chapter 11CADENAfter breakfast, we both decided to go shopping and have some fun. We both got ready and I drove off.We got to the Mall and just when Lauren was about to pick a shoe, a lady touched the same shoe.They both stared at each other. The lady suddenly smiled at Lauren and moved closer to her. Then, she said something that made me surprised."Hey Leslie," The lady said.I thought maybe I didn't hear her correctly but then, the lady repeated it again with a bigger smile."Hi Leslie," The lady said again."Sorry, who are you?" Lauren asked with a confused look on her face. I guess she was just as confused as I am."Why are you behaving this way toward me Leslie? I know what Larry and I did to you was not right but I'm really sorry. I hope we can be friends again." The lady stated calmly."I'm sorry but you've got the wrong person. I'm Lauren, Leslie's twin sister. And you are?" Lauren explained.The lady looked shocked and then, she looked at Lauren as if she did not believe
Chapter 12CADENJust then, my eyes caught something on her food and my eyes widened in sheer horror."Don't eat that! You are allergic to shrimp Lauren!" I yelled at her.I didn't mean to yell at her but I was consumed with fear at that moment. Her allergy to shrimp is high.But she looked up at me, shrugged her shoulders and placed in a shrimp in her mouth.Huh?She was eating shrimp? This is unbelievable.I remember our second date, four months ago.FOUR MONTHS AGO"What would you like to order?" I asked Lauren who was busy on her phone. "Same with yours." She replied without taking her gaze away from her phone.I've tried to start up a conversation with her but I failed. She was too busy typing in her phone and looking all serious. "Are you sure? We might not have the same taste when it comes to food." I tried explaining to her and giving her a reason to raise her head up and look at me."It's fine. I'm not a picky eater though," She said, still not looking away from her phone."
Chapter 13LESLIEI looked around to make sure Caden wasn't anywhere close as I headed to the kitchen. I tip toed quietly like a thief and went back to the dinning room.There, there was a covered set of meal on the table. I turned off the light and settled down to eat quietly in the dark.I ate the food hurriedly as I was very hungry, I was literally starving.Suddenly, the lights were on."What are you doing in the dark?" Caden asked and bursted into laughter after seeing me.I stopped eating and looked up at him in embarrassment. I could not even hide myself anymore but just stared directly at him."I heard some noise coming from the kitchen where I was in the study room and I decided to come down to check what the sound was all about. I didn't know you were down here sneaking in and eating." Caden explained, still laughing."Okay, can you please stop laughing now?" I begged, as I was dying of embarrassment deep down.Caden walked up to me and started laughing again but this time,
Chapter 14LESLIEWe opened the different packages and they were all luxurious items. "Are you still mad at me? You haven't said a word to me since morning." Caden started a conversation as we continued to unwrap the presents.I ignored him and continued unwrapping. He was quiet for a while and did not say anything."Lauren?" He called but I still ignored him.But the next thing he said made me turn to look at him."How about we visit Leslie in Paris?" He asked.I stopped what I was doing and looked at him properly. "Leslie is back in the country. She is not in Paris. I thought I told you that she came back six months ago." I replied. I tried to keep my voice as calm but still stern as possible.My face was in a thin frown too. "Yeah, that's true. I totally forgot. But from what I remember, she was not in our wedding, your mom too. If she is in the country, why didn't she come?" Caden asked. My heart suddenly started thumping loudly against as my chest. I was nervous and I was sta
Chapter 15LESLIEHe looked flustered. His reaction was cute and it made me laugh."I know right?" I laughed."Which university did she study at?" Caden asked."Columbia University." I replied with a grin."I thought that was the university you studied at," Caden said and I bit my lower lip. I shut my eyes tight and covered my mouth with my palm.Shoot! Another stupid mistake."Sorry, my mistake." I opened my eyes and took in a deep breath."I meant, University of Paris." I added."Leslie attended a public university but you attended a private university," Caden said."Well, it was her choice. And besides, I studied in a private university because of how popular and well known our family is. But in Paris, we are not as popular as we are in New York and Leslie likes to keep a low profile.I bet majority of the people in the university did not know about her background." I replied with a smile.And that was the true. I attended a public university because I wanted to. I wanted to live l
Chapter 16PAULINE"Hi Larry." I greeted Larry with a wicked smirk as he took a seat opposite me.He frowned at me and just sat down. I took a sip from my ice coffee. I crossed my legs and rested my back against the chair and just stared at Larry."I really need this project to submit tomorrow Pauline. I'm sorry, I'm sorry I was a jerk but you don't have to do this to me.Leslie that I did the same thing to, she did not react or take revenge on me. Even at that, I'm really sorry." Larry stated with pleading eyes."Go on your knees and apologize properly." I smirked at him.Larry looked shocked. He looked around and there were people in the cafe. It would gain attention if he suddenly went on both knees not as if he was proposing.I knew he would not do it, his pride would not allow him to do so."There are people around us Pauline, I can't possibly go on my knees. They will stare and point fingers at me." He groused and ran his hand through his hair.In just a day, it seems that he ha
