It's 2:am and I still am finding it difficult to sleep. Mr. Basma or should I say Lawrence left about an hour ago. He said 'i can't bring myself to leave, can I just stay over?'. He asked but I declined cause I know we ain't just gon sleep.You know what I'm talking about 😁Now waking up, it feels like I didn't even sleep at all and funny thing is that I'm not even feeling exhausted or tired. He'll, I'm excited, something that hasn't happened for a while.I got ready in thirty minutes and got to the office way too easy as I didn't see any employee here. I guess I'm just excited to see him, I thought but was interrupted by a woman's laughter.I wasn't as early as I thought then.What I saw next didn't shock me, it just felt like a slap on the face and I deserve it.I saw 'him' hugging a woman very intimately and kissing both her cheeks. Not being able to look anymore, I just turned and walked towards the elevator, preparing my professional face so I can get by today."Trina, I need yo
We kept on making out for a while, we even wanted to go further but I stopped when I heard a shutter sound. "What happened?". Lawrence asks not expecting my sudden jerk."I'm sorry, I know it's too early for this but I couldn't help myself, I'm really sorry Trina". He said, melting my heart further, and I could already see him blaming himself so I replied before he blames himself further."You're sweet, but that wasn't the reason why I stopped. I heard a shutter sound and I hope our pictures weren't taken if not it's gonna cause an uproar... You know you're famous and all". 'I said in panic cause I'm not ready for this we aren't even in a relationship and...'"Hey hey, it's fine... I didn't hear anything so I'm pretty sure you're mistaken okay? Don't panic". He said in a calm and soothing voice that I instantly calmed down."Okay fine, so where were we?". I said coming closer to kiss him but he turned away.HE TURNED AWAY HE JUST REJECTED MY KISSESOMG, is he already abandoning me
"The Rainers? Who are they?". I asked Jace but he just looked away like it was a forbidden subject."It's not my story to tell Trina, excuse me for a minute". He says and walks out making me frustrated who are these rainers? "They are bad news, that's all you need to know". Lawrence said with his blank facial mask back on but that just made me angry."So you're not going to tell me about them, when it's obvious that they are dangerous and could harm me? Do I look like a baby to you?. I need to know". I said without taking a breath, I really need to know so I can protect myself right?Or was I too forward?"You don't understand, if I tell you about them, you'll be harmed so just drop it". He said with a harsher tone and although I'm more furious I calm down."Okay then, fine". I said and he looked taken aback by my response, but his faced also shows deep concern and he walks up to me."I'm sorry but I can't tell you, please understand. I can't loose you". He spoke in a soft tone.But
Lawrence's P.O.VI've known for a while how I feel about her but I can't bring myself to admit that its love.It's a weak feeling, that I can't afford to have, it has hurt me, cause me to loose a lot, brought out great selfishness in me, and I vowed that I wouldn't love anyone again. Then, she came around and destroyed all my plans of never loving again without me noticing until I fell deep.Since the day I set my eyes on her at the board room, I knew but I acted tough and rough towards her thinking that will make it either reduce or stop but it just made it grow stronger as I couldn't bear to see her cry or upset especially because of me.I don't know what to do cause it's driving me insane just to look at her and not be able to show her what and how I feel.Since she came into my life, I haven't hurt anyone, thrown any anger tantrum or even fired anyone. There's this serene calmness that washes over me when she's around.I'll have to keep my feelings at bay because her safety is m
Trina's P.O.V What I saw when I opened the door was pure panic on his face. His facial expressions have become more visible lately, before you couldn't tell what he was thinking but now I seem to be able to read into almost very emotion he feels."What happened Lawrence?". I said already also in panic mode, cause I'm sure seeing someone that doesn't ever have a facial expression express panic in all his features, would make anyone panic. The way he slumped on the wall by my door, the way his face looked like he was having an attack and his voice, oh his voice sounded scratchy and tired, of course I couldn't help but panic too."Oh, you're okay. You're okay". He breathed out and you don't need an interpreter to tell you that it was a breath of relief, this should've made me confused but I know that this has to do with the Rainers."I am, are you". I had to ask cause he was the one looking sick, but he answered me with a bone crushing hug, I should love this hug but my bones seem like
Lawrence's P.O.VIt's been three days since I brought Trina here, and although it's unreal living with her, I can't shake off the feeling that we are being watched. I have surveillance all over the house but I'm still on edge maybe because Trina doesn't want to stay in the same room with me and it's messing with my head, every time I hear something drop, my heart speeds up. The message the Rainers sent me didn't help matters either 'we're everywhere, and we'll get what we want'. I never get scared or shaken but back then I had nothing to loose, now I have Trina and I can't loose her, it would kill me. You must have wondered why I haven't gone to the police or used my connections to get back at the Rainers for what they did but I can't, due to the fact that they have a lot of dirt on me as much as I have on them. When they took Diana from me, in a fit of rage I ordered my men to kill Vincent Rainers mother and I didn't regret it cause Diana died over a stupid misunderstanding."Law
Trina's P.O.VI regained my consciousness in a vehicle and started struggling, but was hit with something very hard that I couldn't see as I was blindfolded, making me loose my consciousness once again. The next thing I know, I found myself in a room, all alone. At first, I was confused but then it dawned on me that I had been kidnapped , then I went from confused to scared of not knowing what would happen next.Will they kill me?Torture me and leave me to die slowly, or worse Rape me?!!! Panic began to rise in me and although I felt like crying, I didn't.No one has touched you yet and you wanna cry, what will you do when they actually come for you?. A voice in my head speaks (I'm not the only one that has both an optimistic and pessimistic voice in my head, am I?) But then I braced myself, ready for anything that comes up but then was I really ready? A soft knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts and to say I was scared of what awaits me on the other side of the door wo
Lawrence's P.O.VI can't seem to find her and to say I'm frustrated would be an understatement. I've been going crazy, I can't sleep, I can't sit still or stand still. Every moment I feel like something is happening to her and I can't stand that thought."Lawrence, you need to eat. She wouldn't want to see you like this". My mother says from the door. I specifically told my men to keep her out of this. They're good for nothing."Mom, I- i...". I tried to form a sentence but she beat me to it."I know that you didn't want me to know about this but how do you expect to go through this alone, you always want to do everything yourself. You have us, and we're with you every step of the way,okay?". She smiled and placed her hand on my shoulder and although I don't know how to show it, I'm so grateful right now. Then my brother, sister and Father, yes I mean Mr Basma, my 'i don't care about anything or anyone' father is here also. Before I had time to react to all of them being here toget
