LAURA'S POVThe meeting with Trenton, Oscar, and Bryan did not end well, but we had this conversation that opened my mind to the fact that I would be working closely with him. If we would ever get a chance at ruining Blake in his own game, I had to find out who Cindy and my stepmom sold me off to. I stared at myself in the mirror as I put on my eye lens. Kora stared at me with a frown on her face, yes she freaked out when she heard of my return to the city and the fact that I was going to stay at my ex's estate.In fact, she could not wrap the idea around her head. "You look different," she remarked, and I could hear worry in her voice."That's why I didn't want you to know, you worry too much," I replied as I straightened my dress. "You won't blame me. You've hidden so many dirty secrets, Laura. You left the city without a word and now you're working with Bryan. It makes me feel like you're a part of something illegal." She began"Did I really not mean anything to you?" she asked

LAURA'S POV "Good evening, beautiful," he trailed off with a smile on his face, and I turned towards him with a fake smile."Good evening, sir," I responded with fake nervousness, as I played with my fingers shyly."Here's your drink, ma'am," the bartender called, and I took it, sipping slowly."You're such a damsel. I've been watching you work that beauty," he observed, and I faked a blush."Thanks, sir." "I want to be with you. What can I do for you tonight?" he inquired, and I laughed."You're such a fine man, sir," I smiled teasingly as I got close to him, purposely flaunting my boobs.He moved closer to me, sending his hand to my waist. "Oh, sir," I laughed, and he chuckled."I want us to have some alone time, me and you..." I proposed, and he stared at me."I like you, dear. You didn't even stress me at all. Straight to the business," he remarked with his thick accent.I've always hated sick men like him who didn't care about the age of the ladies they took to bed, and Mr. D i

CH 53

BRYAN'S POV I was angry she wasted time in there with that old hag. I couldn't help but lose it when I saw her walk out looking like someone who has been f*cked. And then, I reacted on impulse. I don't get angry easily, but when I do, everyone knows it's never nice. I stared at her in anger as she pulled her sling bag closer to her body. "I don't need your help. I'll call Cris to pick me up," she replied, hurt. It was pretty obvious my words hurt her, but that's exactly what I wanted her to feel, the pain she put me through when she walked away from me. "Get in the car before I walk up to you!" I snapped, and she just stared at me with her green doe eyes. Laura has always been a stubborn woman. Anyone who knew her knew just how much she hates being controlled, something I observed even before we dated in the past. "I'm not your wife, and I'm definitely not someone you should be yelling at," she retorted, and I stormed out of the car in anger. "Do not test my patience, Laura

CH 54

BRYAN'S POV"I'm going to my room," I stated as I got up immediately."But, baby..." she trailed off."Sylvia..." I uttered, and she sighed."It's okay; at least you came out for me tonight," she remarked, and I smiled at her excitement."Goodnight," I announced, and she hugged me. I kissed her forehead as I strolled towards my room.As I was walking toward the direction of my room, I heard Julie's voice in the kitchen and I frowned. Oscar wasn't around, and hearing her voice in the kitchen means only one thing, I knew she was having one of her weird cravings.Who knows what she would want to eat this time? The last time I saw her and Oscar this late at night, she wanted fried eggs and roasted potatoes with maple syrup on top.He and I had to plead with her not to eat that weird food. She cried until he gave in. Or the day she told him to sing for her outside the mansion.It was funny yet cute. Julie has always had her moments of craziness with this pregnancy, so I decided to check on

CH 55

BRYAN'S POV"You changed her diapers already?" Sylvia asked as she stared at me with a bright smile on her face."Yeah, I was feeding her when she pooped," I replied as Ruby snuggled into me."You guys look so cute together," she remarked, and I rubbed our daughter's back as she slept in my arms."Sylvia, I will be going out of the country tomorrow for work," I announced, and she stared at me immediately."Who are you going with?" she inquired as she folded her arms across her chest."Since when did you develop such a concern about whom I'm going with?" I questioned, and she snapped."Ah, you're definitely going with your ex, right? Right, Bryan!" she yelled angrily."Calm down; you'd wake the baby," I instructed calmly."Don't you dare tell me that rubbish. You're traveling with Laura, right? Oh my goodness," she shouted at the top of her voice, which woke Ruby up immediately as she cried."Sylvia, stop this madness," I urged exhaustively."So now I'm the mad woman?" she asked, cryin

CH 56

LAURA'S POV"Thanks for informing me, Julie," Kora thanked her, as she made her way into the gym with her hands in the pockets of her pants."I have some business to take care of, girls," Julie announced and walked out immediately."Kora..." I murmured."Don't talk to me, Laura..." she whispered, and I bit my lower lip in guilt when I heard her voice breaking at the edge."I'm sorry," I whispered as tears rolled from my eyes, wetting my hands."No, you're not. If you were, you wouldn't hide your pain from me when all my life I've shared mine with you," she sobbed."Kora, please..." I pleaded weakly."This is not over," she muttered as she helped treat my knuckles."Ouch... slow down," I moaned in pain."Are you trying to remind me that I dropped out of med school?" she exclaimed, and I stared at her in shock. It was something she would always say when we bantered words in the past."When did I say that?" I inquired, and she smirked."Patients are not supposed to complain. You're only

CH 57

LAURA'S POVThroughout our ride to the airport, my heart squeezed in hurt as I looked out of the windows.'She thinks I'm jealous of her and her daughter? Why would I even...' I mumbled under my breath, as I rubbed my forehead and bit my lower lip in annoyance.When we got down to board the flight, that's when I realized we were going to the city I had just left. Why didn't Trenton mention this?"Rich city?" I inquired, and he sighed softly."We are actually going after Mr. Viktor, a young politician who happens to be one of the members of the group we are up against," he began."Oscar believes Viktor is a very smart man and must hold a top rank in the gang, one of the reasons why Blake would keep him close to his dirty secrets," he explained, and I suddenly became more interested.After all, this was the first time we were having a conversation where we weren’t biting each other's heads off.'If we are not mistaken, we feel the headquarters in Rich City is the biggest they have.

CH 58

BRYAN'S POVMy mind has been wandering ever since we arrived, especially when Jacob informed me about our fake marriage. How do I pretend to love a woman that messed up my life, our life?Jacob's younger sister, Berna, decided to see me off to our so-called room. When she left, she was the first to go in. I walked in, and she closed the door.She was acting very awkward the entire time, like right now, she just stopped walking. I walked past her and sat on the bed.I started going through my stuff. When I looked up and noticed her standing, I frowned."Go freshen up," I instructed without glancing in her direction."You go first," she responded immediately, and I rubbed my face. What gives her the impression that she can even tell me what to do? But you told her what to do first, my mind mocked."Look, we don't have time to start this cat and mouse fight, Laura," I snapped angrily, and she looked away as she pulled her stuff to the wardrobe.That's what I hate about her. She's the typ

CH 59

LAURA'S POVHow could he be so mean to me? I felt it, the coldness in his voice as he snapped at me.Did I really damage him this much? I didn't want anything, just a shirt.Walking into the bathroom, and after I was done, I wore one of the simple dresses Jacob had bought."Nuella, darling, we have been waiting for you to join us, sweetheart," Jacob's mom exclaimed excitedly."Is that Mr. Elroy's wife? She's so beautiful. I'm Lora, Jacob's fiancée," the beautiful lady introduced herself and hugged me in excitement."Hi," I muttered, suddenly not liking the attention I was getting from everyone."You're scaring the innocent girl, Lora," Elise pointed out, and Lora blushed in embarrassment."No, it's okay," I replied, and she squealed."See, Nuella doesn't mind. You guys look so cute together," she chimed excitedly.Surprisingly, the family said grace, after which everyone decided to dig into their food. Everything was surprisingly delicious.I was worried about Bryan, wondering if he c

LAURA'S POV"Ahhhn," my head hurts so bad. I rolled on the bed and landed butt first on the floor."Shit," I cursed under my breath as I rubbed my arms.I stood up from the bed, and my eyes widened as I stared at it, then at my dress. How did I get to the bed? I wondered, staring at the bed in confusion.I rubbed my head as my mind went back to last night, remembering how I felt him carry me in his strong arms.This is so embarrassing. How am I going to face him now? First, I raised that skimpy nightwear in front of him, and now I let him carry me.You were asleep. It's not your fault, my mind reminded, and I sighed in relief.I quickly freshened up and changed into a pair of jeans and a formal shirt, paired with shoes."Good morning," I greeted, and he glanced at me, then back at his phone."Good morning. Everyone has gathered for breakfast already; we should go down," he replied, and I nodded.I was already in front of the door when he called my name. "Laura..." I stopped and turned
