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
Marrying My Father's Enemy Chapter 25
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
Marrying My Father's Enemy Chapter 27
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

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
Marrying My Father's Enemy Chapter 29
ÇHAPTER 29“Just five am, I still have a few hours left.” She mumbled, shutting her eyes tightly. Nuzzling deep into her pillow and pulling it to herself, Antonia tried to get more sleep. Adding to her frustration, the alarm clock which was on the bedside stool, began to ring. “Keep quiet.” She grumbled, pulling the duvet over her head. Christian who was occupying the other end of the bed, pulled himself up and then quickly silenced the alarm clock. “Much better.” She mumbled and then readjusted before falling back asleep. A few hours later, her eyes snapped open only for her to shut it almost immediately because of the blinding sun rays that had made its way into the room through the opened window. With her eyes still shut, she felt the other side of the bed Christian was occupying but he wasn't there, only then did she open her eyes. “Half past seven? Where has he gone so early? He didn't tell me he was leaving for work…” she continued muttering some words as she wondered wher
Marrying My Father's Enemy Chapter 30
CHAPTER 30While the twin was engrossed in playing with his newly found toy, Laura was pondering. She was resting against the wall with her hand under her chin. She could vividly remember that when she left the room earlier, there was no such toy there and she hadn't brought any along. “Are you sure you aren't the one who pulled the toy along?” She asked, crouching beside the twin as she stroked his hair. “I didn't.” He replied. Pushing her hand off his head, he placed the toy in front of her saying, “Do you know Superman is very powerful? He is one of the biggest and strongest heroes in the whole of America.”“I know.” “What about batman?” He asked, suspending his play for a while. “I do.”“What about Captain America?” He asked. Laura, already tired of his questions that would span for the next few minutes, threw her head backwards and then let out a sigh. “Mom, do you know Captain America?” He asked, pushing her shoulder. “Yes, yes I do. Can we just stop this already? Mom is
