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 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 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

Chapter 18LAUREN"Mom, I have been stucked all the day in this hospital room and I'm starting to feel claustrophobic. I need to get out of this room and breathe some natural outside and go for some sight seeing and maybe shopping too. And eat good food." I complained to my mom.It's been a week since I got here and I have not for once stepped out of the hospital room. I was always on the bed or staring outside within the hospital from my room window.I had everything I needed in the room as it was a vip room but I still felt confined and I did not like it."Is there something you want to do? We can do them when you are fine. Just write them down." Mom replied and stroked my hair softly.I removed her hand from my hair and frowned at her."What are you talking about mom? I'm fine okay? And it's not something I want to do later but something I want to do today and now!" I snapped.After being confined in this hospital like always, I suddenly had mood swings. I got hot tempered.It was

Chapter 20LESLIE"Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Caden and I asked the lady simultaneously.I helped her up and dusted her gown."I'm fine. I think I had few scratches," She said and raised her head up.We both looked shocked to see each other."Leslie?" She called in surprise."Lauren?" I called back, looking so shocked.Caden looked at me and then, at her."Do you know each other?" Caden asked and it occurred to me that I answered when she called my name."I'm Lauren though." I told her. Lauren attended middle school with Lauren and I. She was my sister's namesake and we became very close to each other. We were called the three L's in school, we were more like three best friends that would not stop sticking together.My twin sister and her brought confusion to the teachers. In fact, the three of us sometimes was hard to tell apart. Lauren, my twin can be called Leslie and I will be called Lauren.When Lauren was called, both of them would reply and they will have to make em
