CHAPTER 36.LAURAI Heard someone stop at the door and it wasn't Steve.I could because I was getting the whole aura from him, the same as it had been with the aura.At first, I was startled at the fact that he was outside my door and just when I saw the handle turn I clutched my duvet to myself tightly, my heart beating heavily within me.Unease drifted through my body like electricity was going through me, it kindled in me a flame.This time I could sense him so close, so close that all I had to do was open my door and see who it was but I stayed right there on the bed unable to move.Suddenly it looked like I was surrounded by Silence, the foyer that was once filled with people had no one but was completely blank amidst the heavy beating that came from my heart… It was so quiet I could hear the man's heart beating like it was in my chest.Just when I thought he would open the door, he took another step back as if to get some footing, then I only heard him walking away, some kind
STEVE.It came with complications but I was most definitely surprised seeing that too, at first when the message had popped in it was hard for me to believe.I had sensed that something was wrong, I knew this immediately I had seen her that first day at that cabin.The mate mark was right there at the side of her neck but I didn't think much about it till this moment.Immediately the message came in and it became glaring that my suspicions were true, she was just not for anyone…she was for my friend Delvin.I couldn't wait for him to leave, so I could have a long talk with my beta.All through this while the plan had been going in well, I was doing all I could to have her to myself and last night looked like my plan was walking perfectly.Immediately he did. I made my way to the room where Beta was waiting after he texted me."Are you sure of what you sent?""Never been more sure of anything."I sat back in my chair and cracked my knuckles. It wasn’t until then that Irecognized the r
I had to suspect something was wrong but at the same time it looked more like I was overthinking things all through my stay at his apartment.It all started after the feeling I was getting all throughout my stay, at the back of my mind I could tell that a part of my soul was hovering around and while it seemed detached it was totally mine.I paced around my room still thinking about the whole situation…It would be crazy for me to think I could find peace right? When all that filled my mind was turmoil.What I had done was unforgivable.If there was an explanation for anything that was going on in my mind it would definitely be the fact that Karma was paying me back for something I did.It wasn't really the fact that I didn't like her, though that had a part to play in everything that might have happened—it was just a state of me merely trying to act dominant and taking it to another level.Walking away from the window, I picked up a bottle and walked away the other way into the ro
DELVINAll I did was wait the whole time looking Oscar face as we spoke about everything I wanted, there was a need for me to do exactly that before I totally lose control over the way her absence was making me feelMy gaze found that blond man with indifference no matter what I thought about him, it didn't change the fact that men like that only did thing's for money and it wouldn't take a lot to sway his mind as well.I handed him a brown envelope and he smiled sheepishly."How long would it take to find her?" He asked to know.I Wanted to know how long it was going to take, and what it would cost me to wait as at that moment it looked like it was going to be a bit difficult finding her.He puffed out from his cigar while still looking at me, I couldn't tell what was going through his mind…"Time— It would cost time and effort, it would have been easier if you had her picture." He said puffing out again.In a way he was right, but talking about the pictures there was no way I was g
STEVEAt one point on life you are left with making decisions, whether good or bad turns this was one of those points for me, this was one of those point in life when I know that what I want to do was bad and most definitely would get someone hurt at the end but at the same time despite being left with the decision whether to avoid it or do it anyway turned out I was doing it anyway.It felt sinful and like betrayal, but nothing for me was above respect and power, not even love. My sister's words should have left a bit of dread in my stomach because it left something entirely different.At the moment, I couldn't face Laura, not with the guilt all over my face, it had such an effect on Mr , so much that I could feel it sinking into my skin and sending a wave of uncertainty around in a breathless shiver that made me tremble.I felt a trio of emotion as I walked Into my room, nease,.anticipation, and a sliver of panic that flooded through me with a wave of energy.I knew something abou
LAURAIt was a little bit cold outside which was why I made sure I asked for some hot cocoa along with my dinner to help me through the night.I would have given Steve but he didn’t look like he wanted anything at the moment.I couldn’t concentrate on what I was eating and my whole attention was on Steve and why he wasn’t eating the food.I thought something might be wrong with him because he looked so tense and only took a small amount of his drink.I wanted to ask him immediately but I didn’t want to be too buggy with him so I held myself back hoping that he would eat eventually.Seeing he didn’t touch the food and I was almost done with mine, I thought it would be best for me to ask him what was going on.“Steve.” I called out and he was so lost in thought that he didn’t hear me calling.“Steve.” I said raising my voice which seemed to jolt him back to reality almost immediately.“What?” He asked, looking up at me with a frown.He tried to make his face as plain as possible but I c
LAURAI was still surprised to see Steve, handing a flower over to me. This was surprising, and what was more surprising was the fact that he was asking me to marry him.“Steve?” I called his name, in a low tone.I couldn’t believe this was real. I couldn’t even tell if I was hallucinating or dreaming, but then I pinched myself.“Ouch. That was painful.” I said to myself.Just after I snapped out of my self-dialogue, Dennis walked in, looking baffled as it was certain that he didn’t know what was going on. I looked back at Steve, and he was still on his knees.“Laura, will you marry me?” He asked again.How would he ask me if I would marry him? Didn’t the think that I could say no to this? Hell, this was a bit annoying, and unprepared for. I decided to decline, and reject him, but then on a second thought, I decided to take the ring.“Whoa! Congratulations.” The people playing the orchestra, said.And they played a short song, that was meant for lovers, and people who wanted to tie th
STEVE“What’s going on?”“Did she reject him or what?”“Everyone Calm down, everything is under control.” I said trying my best not to stammer.I felt very confused and I kept on thinking about what I didn’t do right.Was it me?It was hard keeping such an attitude when I knew so many things were running through my Mind.“What’s wrong?” My Sister, Elena, asked walking towards me..“Nothing, Uhm it’s nothing.” I said pulling the top of my shirt because I was feeling too heated up.“Why are you acting up?” She asked to be more Persistent.“It’s nothing, I’m okay.” I staggered.“If something is wrong you can tell me. Is it because of Laura? Or something else is on your mind? Either way you know you can tell me..”“I Said it’s nothing okay? I just need my space.” I said walking to the entrance.“Arrrrgh.” I muttered outLaura.I could not take her off my mind no matter how hard I tried. I knew Thai was the least of my problems but she kept on popping on my head.Why did she do that to me?
