All Chapters of LOVE AND LUST: Chapter 51 - Chapter 56

“We really need to stop meeting this way?”. Leila said, her face devoid of emotion. She had learnt how to hide whatever she was feeling and she was very good at it already. “Tell me! Why are you really here?” Adele shot back “Are you scared? The mighty Adele Cooper is scared?” Leila laughed “I stand to correct you, it’s no longer Adele Cooper, it is Adele Hasters. In case you have forgotten” Leila merely smiled as she walked away, “You both deserve each other” Immediately she stepped into the company, series of greetings followed after from Good morning boss to Good morning miss Leila. It made her ears sting, she was still not used to people greeting her like she mattered. She was their boss but they could tone down on the greetings. The director of the company interrupted her thoughts, “Welcome Miss Baker” She smiled when she saw him, his name was David Pouller and they had become friends in the two years since she became the head of Yungmin Enterprises, he respected he

“Gavin! Gavin!” She kept screaming until the villain ran away. She was too scared to do anything, his cheeks felt cold and she shuddered at the thought of him dead. Her hands were shaking and they didn’t stop shaking even when she sat still at the back of the emergency vehicle, and her mascara had fallen over her face making her look like exactly what she was going through. “Take a deep breath ma’am” The man said with concern in his eyes. She nodded absentmindedly, she wanted to smile but she could not bring herself to. Everywhere was noisy, with everyone speaking medical terms that she could not understand. Her head was spinning and she kept muttering a tiny prayer for the sky daddy to protect the father of her unborn kid. She could not even bring herself to look at Gavin’s face. All of a sudden, everything felt blurry, The last thing she saw before she closed her eyes was the sweet man in the vehicle whispering to her that everything was going to be alright. *****************

“Oh, I see you’ve met Leila Baker, your former secretary” Adele said with a cheesy smile as she walked to where Gavin was and gave him a quick peck on the lips. “That’s who she is? Sorry I did not remember you” Gavin said with an apologetic wave. Leila felt her heart shattered into different little pieces, she had a lot to say, Infact she wanted to scream but she had a very hard time opening her mouth not to mention getting the words out of her mouth, everything was spinning from where she stood. She felt a gentle tap on her shoulder, “Uhm, I think we should leave. We could come back another time. There’s still time” Frank said, trying to lighten the mood. “Yeah I think you should leave”, Adele backed it up, arms around Gavin. Leila could not remember how she left that room and the hospital but she knew that when she got back to the house, the house that was a gift from him, she felt like she had lost something that was part of her. *************************************
