"I don't know,come on, let's leave this hospital,we would visit my aunt another day," he said as his ego and pride had been shattered by someone he once looked down on. "Miss,I noticed you were uncomfortable with those two people,why didn't you leave their presence since you don't like him?" The driver asked curiously causing Layla to raise her head up from the car's window. "You would not understand," Layla said with a smile. No one would understand what she was facing. The driver seeing that she was not willing to talk about it, tactfully remain silent. They soon got to the Brooks' mansion and Layla sighed out loudly as she stepped into the house. She only felt warmth in this place and she tightly tried to grasp it. "You are home," grandpa Brooks said with a smile as he welcomed her with open arms. On seeing the warm gaze of the grandpa, Layla felt hot tears in her eyes. When has anyone ever treated her like this? She was treated like a trash all her life but the grandpa who had

She was about to stand up but she fell and fainted. "Layla!!" Miles screamed in fright and shock. Grandpa Brooks rushed out from wherever he was as he stared at the figure who was in the floor in shock. His face turned pale immediately as he tried to regulate his breathing. "Quick,call the ambulance," he ordered the maid who was lingering around. She nodded swiftly as she called the hospital requesting for an ambulance. Miles was already cradling her as his eyes turned red. Her body was frighteningly hot. "Layla, please be fine,I don't want to lose you,I know we haven't spent a lot of time together,but please don't leave me," Miles said as tears dropped from his eyes. This was the first time the cold CEO acted really vulnerable. "The ambulance is on there way,you just need to be calm," grandpa Brooks said as he rubbed his back. He looked at the girl who was in his arms and frowned. "Why did she faint all of a sudden?" He questioned himself. "I can't wait for the ambulance,I w

Chapter 15He widened his eyes as he saw her fingers move slightly. She was regaining consciousness. He called for the doctor immediately as her fingers were moving rapidly.The doctor rushed into the room and he went to check up on her. They did series of checks on her before coming to face Miles. She had opened her eyes already."She's awake now, there's no complications at the moment,if you want to take her home,we can perform her discharge process," the doctor said feeling relieved."Are you okay?" Miles asked Layla who was still looking confused. She had not gained clarity."I'm fine," she muttered absentmindedly as she glanced around the room. She noticed that the surroundings were white."Where am I?" She questioned with her hands on her head. She was feeling her head ache."We are at the hospital,I will talk to you later,you may leave," he said directing the last two statements to the doctor who gladly left the room. The pressure from Miles was awful."Why am I at the hospita

Michael's Apartment>Michael woke up feeling slightly groggy. He snapped his eyes open as he could smell something funny.He traced the smell to the kitchen, and he widened his eyes on what he saw in the kitchen.There, Ella was standing in the middle of the kitchen surrounded by smoke. The kitchen was all black and she looked confused."What the hell are you doing there?" He barked as he rushed inside not minding the smoke in the kitchen."Why were you in the kitchen?" Michael questioned angrily as soon as he was able to bring her out of the kitchen. He had turned off the gas with great difficulty."I only wanted to make breakfast for you, I didn't know it would turn out this way, I thought it would be easy," she said almost crying. She had only wanted to make breakfast, she didn't know it would be this difficult, she had thought it would be easy."What the hell where you thinking when you decided to do that? You and I know you're not able to cook, then why did you force yourself to

He got a call from Ella, and he groaned in tiredness. He cut the call immediately and put off his phone. He didn't want any disturbances in his work.Ella glanced at her phone in anger as she thought about why he didn't pick up. She tried calling him again, but the phone had been put off.She threw her phone on the bed in frustration. "Why is behaving this way with me? I thought he loved me," she muttered to herself in annoyance."Sir, you are having a meeting with the investors in the next ten minutes, we have to convince them that our company is worth working with," his secretary said to him as she entered into the office.Michael ignored her as he looked lost in thoughts. Belle, who was his secretary frowned seeing how lost he looked. He had never been so lost since she started working with him and that was about a year ago.She wondered if he was facing any issue. She contemplated calling Layla as she knew Layla was his girlfriend.
