CHAPTER 82With trembling lips, Riley pointed at the spot that Alexa was lying on before she left their bedroom but she couldn't say anything. She just kept staring, her eyes almost popping out of its sockets. “You said she was in the bedroom.” Laura snapped at Riley who was still trying to come to terms with what she was seeing.“I did. In fact, she was the last to fall asleep and… where would I have left her if not here?” She retorted only to resume trembling while Laura began to rack her brain on what to do but it was blank.“Then where did she go all of a sudden?” Laura wondered aloud, her heart slamming against her chest in a quick succession. While the two women went about searching the room for Alexa like she was almost invincible, Laura was muttering incoherent words to herself, panicking greatly. Suddenly, Riley stood upright, “I think I know where she is.” “Where?” Laura asked at once, trying to keep still with the excitement that was surging through her veins but she co

CHAPTER 84Until they got to their part of the apartment, Laura wouldn't stop peppering Alexa’s face with kisses. She was so happy that she had found her after the hassle. Riley, who was trailing after her, had a long face. She didn't like the way Laura had spoken to Antonia back there but she couldn't bring herself to say it to her. Now sitting on the edge of the bed where the other twin lay, still asleep, Laura cupped Alexa's face in her palm and then began to search her face. After a brief silence, she pulled her into a hug and then began to stroke her hair. “Lexa, you made momma worried.” She mused, kissing her head. Pushing her away from herself, Alexa pouted, “Why did you talk to that lady that way?” “Why is that? She did something wrong and so I had to correct her.” She replied with a scoff. She didn't want to remember anything about Antonia else she would flare up. “She didn't do anything wrong. I was the one who went to meet with her, she even said she would talk to you

CHAPTER 86Sitting behind the mahogany table was Christian scrolling through his laptop and at the same time, taking note of some points which he wrote down on his jotter. This process went on for a while before his ringing phone interrupted him. Since it was a strange number, he delayed picking up but when the caller wouldn't stop dialing his contact, he received the call. “Who am I speaking with?” He asked, holding his phone to his ear. “Good day, I'm Ms. Blair, Alex's teacher.” The feminine voice on the other end replied and for a moment, Christian took the phone off his ear. After staring at the workload in front of him for a while, he placed the phone against his ear once more. “Yeah, I'm Alex’s father. How may I help you?” he asked and at the same time wondering why she didn't reach out to Laura. “Alex got into a serious fight with his mate who is now in a critical condition, can you come to the school right now?” She asked with a shaky voice. Christian wanted to direct t

CHAPTER 88 Christian walked into his office the next day, even more pissed than the day before. He couldn't stop thinking about what had happened between Laura and him the night before at home. Just because he voiced out his concerns, he didn't like the way Rian, her lover used to act like he didn't have any ounce of self-respect. Seeing Rian everywhere was pissing Christian off and that was why he wanted to talk to Laura about it. But apparently, he had said it in a way that hurt her. Even he realized what he said only after he said it but what he didn't expect was that she would raise her hand to slap him because of something like that. He would have apologized to her or something, she could have gotten mad and walked out.She didn't do any of the reasonable things to do and yet she slapped him hard on the face. It made him angry no matter the angle he thought about it from and Laura hadn't made any move to apologize to him. She stayed out of his way last night and this morning w

CHAPTER 90“Arrrg!”She screams, she hurries out of bed and for a minute she forgets she was sick and all and shouldn't be stressed, she is confused.What was shocking and confusing, what was he doing here… Why was he here?All these questions ran through her mind and nothing could justify his reasons, his heart was beating fast.“You scared me.” Christian stated finally.She stared at him like he had suddenly gone crazy. If anyone should be scared it should be him, she didn't know what to do about the situation.She asked the one question that was wired to her subconscious mind. “Did you touch me?"He covers his face frustrated. " Oh goodness, no!”She was still panting trying to get herself to breathe again, she looked up and she could see him looking at her intensely.“What?" She questioned.He shook his head at first as though nothing, and when the idea of touching her materializes in his mind it filled it with memories, enough memories that he fucking smiles.“Why are you smili
