Chapter Seventy-One-Until Then, I Won't Make A Promise
All the guests, friends, and colleagues waited patiently for Layla’s reaction.The well-decorated hall with all the food, drinks, and even music did not seem to make any sense or even look attractive to Layla anymore.She looked as if she was in a daze, the silence was interrupted by a roar of laughter.Layla felt as if she had just heard the dumbest thing and she couldn’t even stop laughing. The sweet sound of her laughter was hitting Damian like a hammer in the chest.He couldn’t guess what she was thinking at the moment.Layla looked Justin in the eyes and asked mockingly,“And what makes you think that I, Layla Wilson, will ever believe anything that comes out of your malicious mouth, Justin Smith?”Justin was stunned and his face dulled. Layla looked more confident and brave each time he saw her, sadly, she is and will never be his, and even though he forced himself to accept the painful truth, he still wanted to have her.Damian was saddened with the understanding that was sinki

Chapter Seventy-Two- What Did Justin Do?
Damian knew it was going to be hard and painful to recollect everything that happened but there wasn't a pain as unbearable as not sharing a room with his cute wife for three months.It was better to explain everything than to incur her anger and apologize, or gain her sympathy and be forgiven.Layla sat on the bed and he sat beside her but there was no bodily contact. Both couples looked ahead at their large beautiful wedding portrait opposite them when Damian began to tell his story.“ I have been friends with Kelvin and Justin since we were kids.

Chapter Seventy-three- Spill!!!
“ What did Justin do?” Layla asked.Damian was fighting hard to control his tears but he couldn't, he broke down like a baby in Layla’s arms and Layla comforted him.“ It's fine if you don't want to talk about it,” she said and wiped away the tears that were escaping his eyes.“ No. It's fine, I've already started so l have to end the story.” Damian said and wiped his face quickly, he was not ready to take any chance. What if he stopped the whole story and Layla still decides to leave him, he will be devastated for sure.“ Like I said,” he continued.“While I was busy trying to rekindle our love with Ava, Justin did an unspeakable thing. He went for my sister, Kendra.”At this point, Damian was bitter, and thank God Justin was not present there, otherwise, it would be another story.“ And what did he do to Kendra?” Layla asked, anxiously.“ Justin started dating Kendra, and the both of them were all lovey-dovey. Kelvin saw this and tried to warn me about it but I paid less attention

Chapter Seventy-five- Holy Shi**t
“ Well…….” Layla started but stopped suddenly.Damian's heart was racing so fast that someone ten steps away could hear it beating tremendously. He could hear his instincts cautioning him clearly to prepare his mind for the worst, from the way Layla was staring at him, he knew she was deeply hurt and it would take a whole lot of luck for her not to take a drastic decision that would hurt him.Layla was still awkwardly staring at him and since he could not couple up the uneasy feeling he was getting by her looks, he decided to break the silence.“ You can go ahead and punish me, I will accept anything at all, as long as it guarantees me your forgiveness,” Damian said in a pitiful tone. His current state looked sorry yet funny.However, Layla had a lot going through her mind. She couldn't place her finger on what exactly she was feeling, is it the thought that she was lied to, or betrayed, or that her marriage was built on pretense? She paced to and fro in their luxurious bedroom, ma

“ How did you get in here?” Kelvin, Damian’s best friend, asked Ava again.How and why his secretary let her in, he has no idea but one thing is for sure, she has a lot of explaining to do. But for now, he needs to get Jezebel out of his office.“Damian is not here, I think you should leave,” he added, not knowing the best way to put her away. It is in situations like this that he wishes Damain was close by, getting Ava out of his office wouldn't be difficult if only Damain was around. He's sure that this won't be the same kind of audacity she’d walk in here with if Damian was around.“ This is no good way to welcome an old friend, Kelvin,” Ava said coldly and offered herself a seat even before she was told to do so.“ I don't remember asking you to sit, now you get your silly ass off my chair and your stupid self out of my office this minute before I call security.” Kelvin threatened.Ava did not seem frightened by his words, instead, she looked even more comfortable.“ I won't ta

Chapter Seventy-Seven- This Might Be The Last Time You'd See Her!
It was a warm and cozy evening. Kelvin was finding it difficult to understand the mess he had gotten himself into unknowingly.

But, what if things go south? It's best he keeps to Ava’s rule and gets to hear what it is she has to settle with him that warrants her threatening the peace and well-being of his loved ones.
