Sometimes things really gets out of our hands and right now, I was experiencing it. Here I was feeling worse and blaming myself for making Celine sad. But for a second I forgot how nice she is. She never lets us down no matter what the situation is, I realized it when she placed her hand on my shoulder and smiled at me."I know this was unintentional Layla and you were just trying to describe your point of view. It's not like you said something wrong Layla. You are absolutely correct." She sighed."Still I'm really sorry.""It's really alright Layla. The only thing I'm sad about is that how much right you actually are. Now someone has said it, I'm finally realizing what I lost."I could relate with her because I know how it feels like when someone rubs the truth in your face and then you realize that this is what actually happened. Then you realize how much of a big loss you just faced. And I was really dissapointed in yself because I was the one who actually rubed her fears in her fac
The feeling of messing things up for Celine was locked deep in my heart. I knew that it would hurt her but at the same time it would help her as well. Years have passed and this could not have been delayed. There couldn't have been a better chance for them to meet. And that's why I hope they help each other in difficult times. I needed to make her understand that the step I took was necessary for everything to sort out. Plus Carlos was our biggest help ever so we can't just make him uncomfortable with the group because of past. And I saw in his eyes that this time, he really wanted to clear up the mess God knows whoever created. With the intention of making Celine understand everything, I marched towards her in order to break this uncomfortable silence which has been in the room for too long. Before I could move forward towards Celine, Amy jumped at me and blocked my way."Girl! When did you became so daring?" She eyed me from up to down."What do you mean?" I whispered."Like you k
At the last, everyone finally took thier seats. Everyone's behavior changed to professional ones as they got seated. A serious expression could be seen on everyone's face. The sitting arrangement from left to right was like Charlie, Carlos, Noah, Celine, Amy and an empty seat at the right for me.I was actually quite nervous about this meeting but I was trying to be as calm as possible. They all knew me well enough so I shouldn't be nervous or scared but still I wanted everything to go smoothly.Speaking of things going smoothly, Noah was supposed to be here right by my side and help me explain the situation, but he was just sitting there talking to Celine. He noticed me staring at him and gave me a confusing look and I just glared at him."Noah I believe that you are supposed to explain the first part." I sarcastically reminded him. He finally stood up and now there was nothing but just an empty chair between Carlos and Celine. Celine was trying her best to keep her focus on the boar
Words barely made their way out of Carlos mouth and a loud gasp of everyone surrounded the room. The tone of his voice was serious enough to indicate us how he actually felt. If only those three to four words that left his mouth were so dangerous enough that they sended chills down my spine, Then I wonder how it would be if it actually happened. And i dont want to find what will happened at all."Are you kidding me?" Amy jumped out of her seat. "There is no way there is going to be a murder involved here." She was really mad at Carlos decision.On a second thought, this was the only way to stop him. There was no other way which could stop his unbelievable deeds permanently. We can't convict him legally too because his powerful influence wouldn't make anyone harm him. All the higher authorities would be at his side. In the last, we would be left with nothing but regret and a feeling of failure. And let’s not forget the fact that after that, he would keep an eye on us for 24 hours. So t
All the curious eyes were on Carlos, waiting for him to explain himself or to answer Noah’s question. But I guess we forgot that the person we were asking an explanation from was none other than Carlos, who never told anyone what’s going inside his mind. And we soon realized it as he casually shrugged and replied, "Revise your plan and I'll tell you where I can help with it," He answered to Noah and then locked his gaze with mine. "Continue Layla," He almost ordered."Actually, Noah would discuss the part of Tyler," I answered. Noah obediently stood up as soon as I said it. The most knowledgeable about this whole situation is Noah and we discussed this whole meeting earlier and that’s when he told me that he had to announce something about the situation related to Tyler. That’s why I asked him to explain us in details. I was moving in the direction of Noah's seat but Celine stopped me in the middle. "Layla come sit next to me. I need to tell you something," Celine said and pointed t
I was so traumatized that I would miss an important meeting once again, that I woke up on the first ring of alarm, eyes wide awake. Just to make sure that I woke up at the right time, I checked the time on my mobile and found out series of messages from Celine.Practically, we haven't been in contact since saturday's evening after she announced that she is going to that fake date and left. And today is Monday. Yesterday we all were so busy with our clients that we didn't even got the time to meet each other and yes even on Sunday. That day was so hectic that I just went to bed as soon as I reached home.And now my eyes widened as I saw numerous amount of messages from Celine sended after every hour from time 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. Numerous amount of notifications were waiting for me as soon as I switched on my phone but nothing could beat the amount of texts and call I got from Celine.(12:05 a.m) Where have you been? You didn't told me what happened after I left.(12:28 am) I forgot to ask
***CHAPTER 95:***After my conversation with Noah, we both went quiet and got busy in ourselves. He was busy reading the contract files while I just stared outside the window for I don't know how much long. It was like I kept thinking about the things that has been happening in my life lately. My life kept taking huge twists and turns like it was a movie.I just can't get over the fact that something that terrible happened to Aiden. His life was already twisted with taking revenge from Tyler. And now all of a sudden a new enemy appears out of freaking nowhere. The deadly enemy who wanted nothing but one shot one kill.Goosebumps crawled down my skin when I thought about what happened to Aiden. I don't even know for how long I kept thinking about Aiden and Azvameth. But I soon realized I have been lost in my thoughts for almost the whole ride when the car stopped in front of a restaurant. The restaurant where we were supposed to meet Tyler. Just by looking at it I felt like it's the wh
The question that this man asked was stuck in my mind as I was trying to remember who he is. He just asked me if I remember him or not and by the confusion on my face he could tell by now that I'm nothing but a dumb human being. But I was weirdly familiar with his presence at the moment. It was clear to him that I don't remember him that's why I just asked him anyways. "I'm sorry but I don't remember you" I passed an apologetic smile at him. He just smiled like he knew that I wouldn’t have known. But still I felt bad. “Well I know I’m old but still this mind works. So I knew that you wouldn’t have remembered me because it has been so long and this situation is not the same as it was,” He smiled back. Without wasting any other second he started telling me his side of the story. “I was Aiden’s driver back in New york. We both came to New York together at that time. And also to the place where you guys met for the first time ever,” He stated. My eyes widened and my mouth hung open.
