“ I will, thank you,” Layla said to Kendra and hung up. Even though she was worried, she had to obey Layla’s decision not to get involved.Layla changed into a pair of joggers and a mini top after she and Kendra needed the conversation. Looking at her face in the mirror, she was horrified at how terrible she looked because of the tears she had shed. She washed her face and wanted to use makeup to cover her eye bags and the redness but on second thought, she left it, she brushed her hair and went downstairsDamian sat on a stool beside the bar with his phone in his hands, his countenance wasn't any better and Layla frowned when she saw the bottle of alcohol in front of him.When their eyes met, she didn't know if it was her imagination or remorse but desire and want were evident in it, and when she blinked, she was met with a cold expression.Perhaps, the first look was a result of her imagination. Taking a deep breath, she made her way to the bar, picked up the bottle of whiskey in

“ My wife?What about her?” Damian asked, this time around he couldn't hide the fear and worry that was all over his face.He was also greatly disturbed. He knew that Justin was already on his way to his house and he was not comfortable with it.Everything in him wanted to pretend so badly that he didn't care and be indifferent toward her but his heart would not allow it.His appetite turned sour and he moved away from the bar, allowing the second maid that came in after Paula to pick up the tray with his leftover food to the kitchen.He pondered whether to tell her the truth about the papers or not, however, he made a mental note to do so after Justin had come and gone but for now, he had to check up on her to ensure that she didn't injure herself with whatever she intended to use the stones for.Reaching the door, he almost bumped into Layla, seeing her stressed-out face, his brow creased,“ Are you alright?” He asked, trying to hide affection from his tone but he failed. Layla coul

“ If you take a step closer to me I promise you that the next stone will find its way to your chest,” Layla warned, as she bent and picked up the third stone which was bigger than the first and second.Justin felt like he had been duped, she fooled him Into believing that she was waiting for him to come and get her,He was upset and yelled in anger,“ Stop all this nonsense this instant and let's talk.”Layla stiffened and asked calmly,“ What's the name of your car?”Justin was confused by her strange question but responded anyway,“ It's a Rolls Royce.”Layla wasn't a fan of cars so it was not surprising to him. Her next question got him more confused,“ Nice. So tell me, how much does it cost?”Justin sighed but answered anyway, “It cost half a million.”He had no idea where all these were going.The next moment, Layla said,“ You are rich.”“ Yes. The main reason why you should come with me.” Justin said with excitement. He took a bold step but she retreated, looking at his car ad

“ What is it that you want to hear?”Damian asked honestly, he was ready to do anything for her.Layla bit her lower lip and said thoughtfully, “I want you to promise me that you will never pull something like this again because I doubt if I will be able to take it.”She paused and continued, “Have you ever felt like your heart was been ripped out of your chest while you are still breathing? That's how I felt.”Damian was saddened, he had learned his lesson and was certain not to pull up something like this ever again. No matter what will ever happen. In the future, he will trust her through and through.“ I promise Sugar. I will never do something like this, ever again,” he assured her.Just immediately, there was a knock on the door and Damian went to get it. A maid walked in with a trolley filled with different varieties of food. There was also about four big bla of cotton candy on it. It was time to rekindle their love. “ wow, I love cotton candy,” she said out of excitement

Things were going on smoothly between Layla and Damian, and because of the pampering she was receiving from him, he didn't allow her to do anything to stress herself at all, he didn’t even allow her to get involved in the preparations for their graduation party since she was graduating the same time with Kendra.Things were fast approaching, she and Kendra reconciled and they were blending well, while Damian and Kelvin kept themselves busy with work at the office.Since Layla would be joining them soon as the account officer, Kelvin thought it wise to have everything in check before she resumed work fully. Even her boss Mr. Max was highly delighted when Damian told him Layla would be working with them soon. Throughout her internship training, she proved herself to be worthy of such a position.Things were happening fast and smoothly, there was no disturbance from Justin or anyone at all and everyone was excited. However, Damian did not forget his bet with Justin. Not for any reason i
