When you hear certain words that come out of the mouth of person you love, the level of pain laced with each word could make you speechless sometimes. That was how Laura felt when she heard those words from Greg.Speechless. This wasn't her Greg, something was definitely not right. Everything about this was wrong. The way he was looking at her, dry and empty, like he didn't know who she was. The way he just spoke to her. The things he said! "Oh darling, you're awake again." Samantha's voice rang out in the room as she came in. Laura watched in confusion as Samantha sashayed towards him.He attempted a hesitant smile which came out weak and she bent down and kissed his lips. She just stood immobile. Unable to react and didn't even know how to react, if she wanted to. Samantha started whispering something to him and the intimate picture they displayed became too much for her and she turned away.Not bothering to look back at them or utter another word, she rushed out of the room t
"...I'm finished Lizzy."Lizzy sighed. "Lau you've been saying that for the past three weeks."It had been three weeks since the painful incident that took place in the hospital and Laura had been acting like a walking dead ever since. "I understand that it's hard for you but please you have to stop this." Lizzy continued. "Please I need you to eat. You haven't eaten since morning.""I'm not hungry." Laura replied drily. Lizzy sighed. "Laura please...""I said I'm not hungry!" She snapped."Stop acting like a baby!" Lizzy snapped back. "I am not acting like a baby!""But you're being one now, Laura." Laura shook her head. "You don't know how I feel so you can never understand!"Lizzy sighed for the umpteenth time. The pregnancy hormones coupled with the Greg issue was taking a toll on her friend. "Laura," She said gently. "Trust me when I say that I know exactly how you feel. I've been there before, remember?" Laura stiffened for a second then turned to face her, her expression
The phase of pregnancy was not an easy one at all and Laura would not hesitate to attest to that but it didn't make her love her precious little one any less. It was the ninth month of her pregnancy and she had been proudly carrying her round tummy albeit mocking words and laughter from Celina and Samantha. The latter had already given birth to a baby boy over a month ago which had caused a frown on Laura and Lizzy. Just how long ago did Greg start sleeping with Samantha? Anyways it wasn't her business. She had her own sunshine to look forward to bringing into her lonely world. Surprisingly, she wasn't so keen on getting Greg back anymore. Especially after the way he had treated her at the hospital. That incident was always a painful reminder and one of the hindrances that marred her decision of getting him back. Even though he had lost his memory, he had no right to treat her the way he had. Besides he was supposed to feel something for her if she truly was special to him before
Samantha sighed as she looked at her mother who was regarding her thoughtfully. "Mum, it only bothers me that Greg had set the wedding for November which is in six months! Six months mum!" She wailed. Celine frowned. "Anything could happen within six months.""But why would he set the wedding to be held on that date?" Celine asked absently. "He said it was to give us more time to know each other more." Samantha replied in frustration. "We've been getting to know each for the past eight months now mum and now this again. Mum I'm so scared.""Calm down my dear," Celine comforted. "You'll just have to play along and agree to everything he says until you're both married.""But for how long? This is wearing me down." Samantha sighed. "I understand, but he is one big fish we can't afford to lose." She smiled at her daughter. "See the way he has been taking good care of you and even me and your sister, Mirabel. And I'm also happy that that thing left the house. He would have been seeing
She contemplated turning and slipping off quietly before either of the men could see her. She wasn't quite ready to face Greg. Noiselessly, she turned and started to make her way towards the exit but her boss's, or rather, ex boss's voice stopped her. "Ah, Laura, there you are." She slowly turned and forced a smile. The two other men had already turned to look at her. His dark eyes pierced through her. She gulped but maintained her smile. "Mr Jones...""Come on, come say hello to your new boss." Mr Jones urged and she moved forward, aware of his eyes following every step she took. She glanced at him once and her breath seized. He had changed. But looked much more handsome than before. He had added a slight touch of white hair dye on the right side of his head giving him a smarter, mature and more gorgeous look. And he looked bigger but still lean. The father of her child was indeed drop dead gorgeous. She smiled at her boss as she finally got to them. Her boss was a soft feat
"Good morning Miss West." Laura closed the door to her car and turned towards the source of the voice and smiled. Levi Williams. "Good morning sir." He grimaced. "I've told you several times to address me as Levi."She smiled. "You know I can't, sir. You're my boss."He groaned and she giggled lightly. He really looked like his elder brother. "How was your night?" He asked with a smile. "Fine thank you." She replied. "How was yours?" "Was okay." He started walking into the office building, motioning to her to come along. "I've been here with you guys for a week and I must commend you all that has been working diligently, you especially. It's not all the time you get to see a very beautiful woman who is very dedicated to her work."A blush tinted her cheeks and she smiled. "Thank you sir. I appreciate your commendation."They were greeted as they walked through. Some of the other workers who were coming in, looking at them both suspiciously especially after he ushered her into hi
"But have you started working on getting him back?" Lizzy asked as she flopped beside Laura and collected a babbling Cameron from her, placing a loud kiss on his chubby cheek which made him giggle loudly causing a laugh from Lizzy and a grin on his mother's face. The baby was discharged on the evening of the same day he was admitted of which both Laura and Lizzy were thankful for. "No I haven't. Yet." Laura replied to Lizzy's question. "And what are you waiting for?" Lizzy asked. Laura shrugged. "The right time?"Lizzy rolled her eyes. "And when is the right time?" "I don't know.""What do you mean you don't know?"Laura shrugged again. "I just don't." Lizzy face palmed. "I don't even know why I'm killing myself over this."Laura grinned. "Because you love me and want the best for me."Lizzy rolled her eyes. "Yeah right, and you're making things difficult!"Laura sighed. "I'm sorry, it's just that I believe I should take this slowly. I don't just want him to fall in love with me
Hey babes." Samantha sashayed into the bedroom and flopped down beside Greg who was busy on his laptop and sensually slid her body close to his. He absently hooked one arm around her waist, his attention still on the screen before him. "How about the Minister's daughter's engagement party, babe?" She snuggled closer to him. "Are we still attending?"Greg sighed. "You've asked me this several times Sam."Samantha shrugged. "I just wanted to be sure that you aren't changing your mind. You know it's next month. Just two weeks from now and my dress is almost ready.""The minister personally invited me and I can't get on his bad side and risk not getting contracts from him anymore by not honoring the invitation now can I?"Samantha grinned. "That's why I love you." Greg smiled absently. "Where's Sydney? " He asked. He hadn't seen his little boy since they finished dinner. Samantha shrugged and tried to kiss him. "He's with the nanny."Greg evaded her lips and looked at her sharply. "Yo
