CHAPTER 42"Where have you been?" Christian asked impatiently. Antonia shivered in fear as she stared at his angry face.She managed to mask her fear and replied, "What do you mean?" She asked, trying not to stumble upon her words.Christian clenched his fist, "Still pretending not to know anything?" He asked with a sarcastic tone and over to Antonia. "What? I'm not pretending. I didn't go anywhere!" Antonia retorted."I can see you're getting bolder, but too bad because you're bad at lying," Christian replied slowly as he touched a strand of her hair. "Where did you take the car to, if you insist on not going anywhere?" He suddenly asked, Antonia was caught off guard. "I… I went for a stroll," She stammered. She tried to avoid Christians piercing gaze, but he grabbed her chin and made her look at him. "A stroll? With the car? Can you listen to yourself? Was what you said pleasant to your ear?" Christian asked in a mocking tone. "I… I was bored," Antonia replied. "Why? Why did y

CHAPTER 44Christian was lost at words, "You have to think this through," Damien added. "What about the kids?" Christian asked rhetorically. He couldn't bring himself to leave the kids, nor could he leave Antonia. Damien seemed to have heard his thoughts and replied, "They will be fine without you, you don't have to worry about them. After all they're not the first kids to grow with a single parent," Christian was enraged when he heard this, he cast an angry look at Damien. "Stay out of this, I don't need your opinion anymore," he growled. Damien was surprised at the sudden change of Christian. Wasn't he the one who had asked him for an advise? Why had he suddenly change?"But you were the one who asked for my-""And I regret asking for your harsh and cruel opinion!" Christian hissed. "Ill do whatever suits me the best, you can now leave," he added."I'm sorry if I had-" again Damien was cut short."I asked you to get out, didn't I?" Christian asked and gave Damien a cold look, lo

CHAPTER 46Placing his hand under her head, Christian pulled her to himself, taking her lips into his slowly. Already looking forward to sharing a kiss with him, Laura gave in fully. With her hand resting on his chest, she returned his kiss with equal fervor and soon they were both fighting for dominance with their tongues in each other's mouth. This left them exhausted when they finally pulled away. “Let's go in.” Laura offered, pushing her hair away from her face as Christian shook his head in the negative. Raising her brow at him, she asked, “Why is that? Is anything wrong?” “Not at all.” He replied, swirling his key in his hand. “I will be off now.” He said and with that, he got into his car and then drove off before he could stop him. Laura didn't let her gaze off the car until she couldn't see it anymore. With her fingers now combing through her hair, she turned around and then made her way into the house. Now in her room,she was sitting at the head of her bed with her leg

CHAPTER 48She didn't know which was more embarrassing, eavesdropping or having Christian stare down at her where she laid so useless or the fact that he had a quite absurd look on his face.She looked up to him and could hear her heart ricocheting, she turned her gaze as he walked away.She could tell that he was annoyed and she would have to pacify him again.She walked in and caught him in a foul mood,for the first time since when she could remember he looked at her with disdain, as if the very idea of what she had done was starting to irritate him.Tonia's voice was calm when it came to him, she could… As usual it was easy to tell that she was sorry about what she had done, but he couldn't get it off his chest as it thuds heavily.“Why." He muttered. “You are acting differently, especially after the entire situation that had happened." She couldn't bring herself to say anything as she knew that she had wronged him.Regardless, Antonia presses on. “I am sorry, I was just curious.”

CHAPTER 50 “Alright, but can't you tell me why you want to see me so bad?,"Her voice is two tones higher than it should be, giving away her trepidation, she couldn't tell why but it's sounded so important from what he had said and she had to see her parents.Still she is not convinced, she had that feeling that all of this had to do with something as the call couldn't be coincidence.“I’m sorry. I should have been clearer,” he insists. “But trust me you'll hear more about it when you return.” When she turned to face Rian the look he had showed he wasn't that pleased. “Should I come with you?" he questioned.For what felt like a minute, she held his gaze. " I don't think that would be necessary.”“And the summit?" He asked.She groaned. It had slipped my mind, and only now did it occur to me that it would be coming up later that evening.“I will have to call Riley to represent me.I will not turn around my mind because of this.”Rian knew it was a lost cause trying to convince her,
