Chapter 117: Chapter 117

Lauren is waiting patiently for Mandy, it's getting late, he is more tense but just trying to control himself.

At exactly 10pm, Mandy pushed the door of the building, Lauren is sitting coldly on the couch, she didn't throw an eye on him.

Where are you coming from? Lauren asked in anger.

Nowhere.

You kidding me right? Lauren place his hand in his pocket and walked slowly to her. Where are you coming from? He is mad, his voice is not friendly but he still want to control it.

I just said nowhere.

Mandy, what is wrong? Lauren reduce his voice, he is angry but he doesn't want to show it, she pushed passed him. Fine, if you don't want to tell me, go and take your bath, so we eat together.

I am not hungry. Mandy said, she dart to her room, Lauren closed his eyes, he needs Mandy more than anything else in the world, since Mandy didn't want to talk to him, he went to his room.

He is already at the living room the next morning, Mandy is all dress, she is going out again.

Mandy!

Can you let me be? This isn't a joke anymore, he hurry to her front. Get off my way.

Mandy, did I do something wrong? Just tell me, I beg you and I will make amends

Why didn't you tell me about Noor? Lauren take a few step from her.

How am I supposed to know about him? Stone look at him, is he still going to lie? Mandy look at him. Yes, I have no idea about him.

Lauren, you are lying to me, you have no idea about him and you brought him to the hospital? Mandy yelled, Lauren pin his lips together. You were keeping him because you want to punish him for hurting you, what other punishment could he have more than the pain that worthless Leah of yours had made him go through?

Is not...

Not that; then what? The doctor had told you that Noor yearn for me but you didn't deem it fit to let me know, you lie to him that you have no idea of who I am, and I sleep and wake up in this house with you, you know, my present will give him quick recovery but no, you don't want to. You just want him to die for something...

Mandy! Will you let me explain? he wants to talk but Mandy doesn't want to hear his words.

Lauren, set him free, he didn't hurt you with his right senses, the doctor must have explained to you as well that he is not in his right frame of mind when he did all that but you still want to hurt him.

I am not hurting him, if I want to hurt him, will I take him to the hospital? I don't fucking...

Why didn't you tell me, if you were that concerns? He run his hand on his neck. Go on.

Mandy, don't answer that because I am not giving that, and you not allowed to go to him from now on.

Lauren!

What? The man gaze is cold, he doesn't fucking care, if he had to force her to stay with him, then he will do that perfectly.

Don't what me, you will not tell me what to do, I will do what I want and you can't stop me.

Really? He asked then turn his gaze to Stone, in as much as Stone doesn't want Lauren to used that tactics, he had no choice than to obey.

Lauren, what is this? Mandy yelled, as Stone pulled her in his shoulder. Lauren, I hate you, I curse the day I met you. She keeps yelling till stone dragged her to her room and lock her, Lauren pushed the stuff from the dinning making the breakable plate and glass scattered on the floor.

Argh! He yelled, this is the one thing, he is avoiding and afraid of, the mere fact that Mandy will find out that Noor did nothing wrong, she will still want him, it will be easy for her to forgive him, even when she is not aware that he is drugged and now, there is no two ways about it.

Lauren is crying in the office, he just felt lonely, Mandy is going to leave him, he pulled the wine to his lips, Larry pushed the door of his office, he had been calling but no answer.

Lauren, you want to drink at the office?

I am not drinking. He drop the glass, he stand, Larry held his hand.

Bro! Are you alright?

How could I be, she finds out, I don't fucking know how she got the information of Noor, I would had just deprive her of phone.

Lauren!

Yes, call me selfish, stupid and evil, I just want her, nothing more, I just want to occupy her heart, if not all, let her give me just a portion, I will be fine, not treat me like trash, I know she is mad at me, for keeping Noor as a secret from her, I didn't keep him because I want to hurt him, I was just scared, she will choose him over me, she should had let me explain instead labelling me a monster.

I don't think so, she might just want to care for him, let her, she will not hurt you, just give her freedom, I know she will get mad but she will forgive you with time. If you love someone, you let them go, not cage them

Lauren closed his eyes, opening his eyes, he gaze fall on his phone message that Mandy refused to eat.

Excuse me!

Where are you going?

Home!

Wait, we are having a meeting in...

Cancel! Lauren dart out, he walked slowly into the building, even though, he is tired, he just wants Mandy happiness, he swipe the door lock with his card, he saw Mandy crying on the floor.

His heart break, he walked to her, to takes a place beside her, she wants to stand, Lauren held her hand.

Let me go.

You want to leave? Lauren asked with heavy heart.

Yes, I want to, he needs me, so I want to.

You free to. Lauren said, Mandy stand fast, she run through the door, she didn't give Lauren a second glance before disappearing, Lauren nodded his head, he need to reassure himself that he could survive without Mandy, this is for the best, after all, he is getting married to someone else, still of nourishing this thing, in his heart, he should kill it
