Chapter 31AIDENEver since Caden and I were little, Caden has always had everything, something better. Since I was older, I was asked to give in to Caden but even if I did give in it to him, I did it angrily and begrudgingly.I hated him even more. We were always compared, Caden was good at almost everything while I struggled with some things especially my studies.Caden was the favourite child and the love that was shown to him made me hurt. Even as we grew into adults, our lives became more like a competition. We wanted to do better than the other, we wanted to make our father proud.I wanted to be the one to take over the company as the eldest child but dad was not into primogeniture so, I was not sure if I was going to be the heir.I had my suspicious that dad was trying to leave everything to Caden but one day, Caden made it clear to dad that he was not interested in his business as he wanted to enter into the entertainment world.Dad had been furious and against it, but at the

Chapter 33LAUREN"How are you feeling?" I asked the young guy that laid weakly on the hospital bed. He looked up at me and smiled. "I'm fine, thanks to the special treatment I'm getting, a VIP room and a care taker." He replied. I smiled lightly at him."I'm sorry that you are lying there on the bed instead of me. But you did not have to do that. We don't even know each other," I said to him."Huh? What are you talking about?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.I looked at him weirdly and sighed. "You pushed me out of the road and got hit instead of me. I wanted to know why you did that." I explained again."I think you are mistaking miss. I did not push you out to save you. I was running away from someone and I did not see the vehicle that was coming and mistakenly pushed you so I could run to the other side of the road.It was not to save you," The guy said, much to my dismay."Wait, what?" I was speechless. Did I just hear him correctly or was I hallucinating?All these days I felt

Chapter 35LESLIE"Grandpa, I'm not pregnant." I told grandpa immediately I got to the sitting room. He was reading a newspaper in the sitting room while on the couch.He removed his glasses and took his gaze from the newspaper to me.He looked shocked. "What do you mean?" He asked."The real reason I left Paris before Caden was because I caught him in bed with my friend that I just got reunited with after so many years." I explained. By the time I was done saying it, Caden was already standing beside me."What about you that I caught kissing Aiden in the kitchen last night?" Caden challenged and grandpa was even more shocked.Damn Caden! "That's not true! I did not kiss Aiden, we did not kiss. You saw it wrongly!" I defended myself and eyed him angrily."I saw it with my own eyes grandpa. They were so engrossed in each other's arms kissing that they did not even notice my presence when I came in." Caden added more fuel to the fire."I want to see the both of you in my study room," G

Chapter 37CADEN"You heard me Lauren, give the shoes to Tessa and get another one. From her expression, she clearly wants them and I do not want you fighting with a woman over some pair of heels." I told Lauren sternly.I could tell from her expression that she was very angry. Slowly and reluctantly, she dropped the other leg of the shoe and Tessa picked it up with a smile."You can have them." Lauren told her begrudgingly.Tessa disengaged her hand from mine and walked closer to Lauren and whispered something inaudible to her ears. I did not hear what she said but from the look of Lauren's face, I could tell that Tessa did not say a very nice words to her.Her expression changed and her frowned thickened but then, she turned to look at Tessa and smiled lightly."Thank you for letting me know." Lauren acknowledged.It was not my intention to take sides with Tessa but I did what I did because of my own reasons. I did not want Lauren to fight over a pair of shoes when I can try and get

Chapter 39CADEN"Lauren? Are you in there?" I knocked on her door softly."Come in." Her tiny voice answered. I smiled and opened the door.The sight before me was breathtaking. She was dressed in a jumpsuit and her long hair was let down and it ran down her shoulders."What do you want?" She asked coldly. I ignored her question and made her sit on the bed.I opened the box, squatted at her height and brought out her leg while she watched me in surprise.I slipped her legs in the high heels and her eyes widened in shock."This was the reason I wanted you to leave those for Tessa. Hope you don't mind?" I beamed at her and stood up."Of course I don't! Thank you so much Caden. I've always wanted them and I can't believe I'm wearing them right now. Really, thank you," She said in a brittle voice.I smiled back at her. She looked at the shoes and then at me. With a smile, she threw herself on me in a hug and we both fell on the bed.We both stared at each other without breaking the eye c
