Marrying My Father's Enemy Chapter 21
CHAPTER 21A towering figure stood right there at the window obscuring the bit of light rays from the dying sunlight that evening, his phone hung loosely in his hands as he kept still, listening to the caller at the other end—Antonia, He had a gloomy expression over his face filled with anxiety and animosity.“Are you certain everything is fine?" He questioned.There was a bit of expression from the other end as a long moment of eerily silence followed suit, when the answer came it seemed satisfactory as he let out the breath he had been holding for a long while.He gave an imaginary kiss as his hands dropped to the sides again, and he let out another sigh.It had been two days after the banquet and he still couldn't get over the feeling he felt deep in his soul, while one part was yearning to be with Antonia, a woman who was doing a lot to prove her worth, and the other half lies with the mother of his children, at such he was torn between two different situations that held his repu

CHAPTER 22Two hours ago… For the umpteenth time that day, she headed toward the entrance and back again at her watch, she had a frown on her face when her gaze filled the entire base ball yard.Alex's one of the twins was playing the pitcher for his baseball team and already he pulled two negative throws.At the next water break, he races over to where his mother was with a look of concern on his face.“Where is daddy? I thought he was going to be here for the game?" A purely puzzled Mother looked back at her son, her mind void of the right excuses to give to him at that moment. If only the boy knew how irresponsible his father could be.Not wanting to dampen the boy's game spirit even more,she had a smile broadly on her face.“He would be here, he stopped by the mall to get some ice cream."The boy ran excitedly halfway the field for another throw, this time pulling a home run looking again in the direction of his mother.Completely fed up, Laura wandered off, ostensibly to make

CHAPTER 23Antonia was still right there at the top floor of the restaurant, she looked displeased at everything that just happened and could listen to her own heart beating heavily at the fact he stood her up, and the waiter walked toward where she was.“We are closed ma'am." He announced." What time is it?” She asked.The truth was she had a fucking watch but it felt better hearing it from another person, it filled her with a different type of anger. “It is half past Eleven." He muttered.“Great." She moaned. Disappointed, she gave a weak smile, and gathered her things to leave,one thing was certain she was going to give him a piece of her mind… She felt to herself that all this was her fault though she had been holding back for too long.An Uber was booked as she made her way out, it drizzled lazily and yet soon she was all drenched, shivering.Soon a car stopped right there before and she was quick to get in, for most part of her trip she ignored the driver's attempt at humor,

CHAPTER 24RIAN stood at the doorway he had called Laura to no avail, Finally when she did pick it was to inform him about what had happened and the critical condition the boy was in.She held the hands of the boy as speaking in a subtle tone. “I don't want to lose him, there said nothing could be done till he get out of the coma."Confused he didn't know what to do or how best to comfort her, he walked toward her slowly and pulled her closer, she sniffled and cried, soaking up his shirt.“Are you sure, you don't need to speak with a specialist?"“They said that won't be necessary, moreover it turned out Christian want them here as well."“Christian?" He was puzzled. “Are you seeing him or what, I don't understand."She stood up and walked toward where she was, she was stunned that he had made a statement like that. The last thing she wanted at that minute was making things more complicated than it already was." No… why would I say that, I just —" she let out a deep breath.With ever

CHAPTER 25He hated hospitals and being there with her for that brief moment made him frustrated.For one, he had been desperate to get out of there as fast as she could. There’s time to relive the memories of what he had planned out for the night—He shuts down the dark thoughts that filled his mind as he walks into the premises.He had picked this desolate place on purpose as only here could he meet with Avril with no thought of bumping into anyone familiar.“I am outside already." He muttered soon after he picked her call.He strides into the pub and hangs his coat, his gaze coasts round taking in the living space that is furnished to suit a simple native American setting, each table with four wooden chairs and a dark brown sofa sitting on the opposite wall, with its leather frayed and worn. It was the last place a lawyer like him should be in, but at that moment he rather be there than bump into someone that knew him and Laura together. “You kept me waiting for so long." Avril

CHAPTER 26Her gaze fell on the last person she was expecting to see, her heart thud heavily. She couldn't get herself to believe that he was standing right there just a few meters away from where had fallen. “Rian." She grimaced.“I asked a question; going somewhere?”She shook her head, and swallowed the lump that was trying to force its way out of her throat.Her phone buzzed and as they both stared at it now cracked screen, Laura's call popped up.A look of amusement crawled up on his face. “You were going to call her ain't you.”“No… I.” She stuttered.He gripped her by her shoulders and forced her to stand facing him, her heart thud heavily as she didn't know what to expect at the next minute.“What have I done, I did nothing." She protested."Shut the hell up, I know you saw me.”She feigned innocence."You, I haven't come across you today.”He mutters something in disagreement to her lies, he is filled with fury and annoyance at her attempts of lying to him. If there was any

CHAPTER 27Unaware of Rian's presence, Laura waved her hand in Riley's face and with a raised brow asked, “You sounded so worried back there, why aren't you saying anything now?” “Actually, I was just trying to pull your legs.” Riley said with a wink trying to act natural before Rian who was resting against the wall with his hands tucked in his pockets and his gaze fixed on her. “It's high time you grow up. You made me worried for no reason.” Laura scoffed, glaring angrily at her. A while ago, she was thinking Riley had something serious to say to her only to hear it was all a prank. “Come on Laura, you shouldn't be overreacting. Moreover, it's not a big deal.” She joked stealing glances at Rian who still maintained his position. “Overreacting you say, get your hand off me.” She said, playfully pushing her hands off. They engaged in a little argument and that was when Rian decided to announce his presence. Taking his back off the wall, he straightened up and then cleared his thro
Marrying My Father's Enemy Chapter 28
CHAPTER 28All that swirling in Riley's head came to an end when she felt a strong grip around her waist steadying her and preventing her from falling—it took a while to compose herself. Still recovering from the shock she had felt when she was about to fall to the ground, Riley was breathing heavily, her gaze fixed on Damien who was staring at her intensely. “Are you alright?” He asked, pulling her to himself. “Uhm, yeah. Thanks.” She said, flipping her hair away from her face, to her it felt like too much contact, the fact that she didn't know too well to have him have his hands around her that way.Yet, it was intriguing if she'd have to admit, his cologne, his scent…Everything! Forgetting she fell because of her broken heels, he let go of her waist and the next second, he had to repeat his earlier action. This time round, more swiftly. “Dammit, I'm sorry.” He muttered. “You're alright?” He asked, searching her face for a reply. Nodding, she replied, “Uh, yeah.” She muttered
