Chapter 3

• “I was just thinking about some things” she said and opened the drink then took a mouthful before dropping it back on the table.
• “Concerning the issues of the company? I am sure your dad also won’t want the company to go down so he will surely do something about it”
• “more than that, am very concerned about my mum and what will happen when she finally wakes up, she will be shattered” Avan move closer to her and hug her
• “I am sure all will be well, I will surely support you in everything and stay right beside you” Laura pushes him away from herself on hearing his words
• “Is that why you decide to hide your face from me through out yesterday and even avoided me in the cafeteria” she said annoyed
• “What are you saying? How on earth will I even do that? Just that yesterday I had to run an errand for dad and also I didn’t eat in the school cafeteria yesterday I thought you won’t come to school because of what happened so I head straight to your house after getting back”
• “Really? Someone told me they sight you in the school cafeteria yesterday” she said with doubted
• “How can you believe other people above me your boyfriend, why on earth will I…? I feel hurt by your words”
• “Fine then I will forgive you just this once” she said and hugs him again. After sometime, Avan decides to ask the question that he has been holding in his heart since he came in.
• “So now that your mum is not around, are you still going on with the engagement agreement between you and Chris?”
• “What stupid engagement? Am going to break whatever it is between me and that lowlife family. No matter how I see it poor people will never change always coveting what doesn't belong to them” she said getting angry while Avan quickly calms her down at the same time smiling knowing. Now all his effort has begin to yield out good results
• Since little, his father has always reminds him to make sure to win Laura’s heart and he made sure not to fail in that duty.
• Not only is he able to make her his own but now he is able to make her do away with the only obstacle that is stopping him.
• After the engagement is broken off then he will make her get engaged to him and get her to sign the necessary document, after that everything will be done and he wouldn't have to pretend to love a mama girl like her.
• He still couldn’t believe how naive she has been all this year’s not to have find out his fake feelings for her but instead, she continue to rely on him more and more and believe his lies.
• Now that her mother is gone and she has lost faith in her father so automatically, he is the only one she will trust.
• Sometimes he feels bad about his actions when he sees how sincere she is to him but then, how can someone like her be the owner of such a big enterprise when she can’t stand on her own so he is doing her a big favor by trying to help her run it.
• ‘Now that stupid Chris is out of his way, he will have a party tonight to celebrate after cajoling the spoilt brat with him’ He thought, continuing to pay her hair.
• ...
• Chris stand at a distance as he listens to all that transpire between Laura and Avan just now then left the class in anger.
• He went to the school clinic and throw the drink he initially bought for her in the trash can, went in to lay down as he force the tears threatening to fall back.
• He can’t believe that after such a long time, she still thought of him that way.
• Although she did not really care about him at least she respected their friendship, even when she reacted rudely to him yesterday he had thought that it was because of what happened.
• He knows that he doesn't have a chance to win her heart but he’s still happy with the fact that she didn’t break up the engagement between them but hearing her today, he is hurt.
• She wouldn’t even believe his claims that Avan doesn’t really like her and has other girls he is seeing behind her.
• Chris stood up from the bed suddenly and lay down again troubled, if only he wasn’t poor then maybe she would have given him a chance he thought and closed his eyes when he heard the bell and stood to leave.
• Laura looks around for any sight of Ella or Avan before leaving the school premises on her own.
• Her driver just called that he is stuck in traffic and will be a bit late so she wanted to go with either of them, she start walking just outside the school when she sight Chris standing at a distance with his back against the wall.
• “Is he waiting for me?” she thought used to his clingy behavior.
• She recently find out from Ella that Chris has always been standing outside the school to watch her leave and come to school every day and feels touched so she offered to be friends.
• Seeing him now, Laura smiled as she get the feeling that there is still someone waiting for her but then the smile disappeared as she remembered what she had said about him to Avan earlier.
• She knows that among the other people she has met with, Chris is totally different in a positive way but still she doesn't want to make the same mistake her mother made and end up getting betrayed and even has to fight for her life in the process.
• Her father too just like Chris comes from a very poor background but her mother insisted on getting married to him despite everyone’s disapproval.
• It’s also the main reason she arranged for an engagement between her and Chris but now all those believe and love turns out to be a lie.
• Laura continues walking slowly towards Chris to give him a surprise but he turned to her just before she gets to him but Kayla appeared out of nowhere and stand in between them blocking his view from her.
• Laura stopped in her track and gets curious as to what is their relationship for them to meet privately.
• Kayla suddenly held Chris’s hand and she pulls him away from there, Chris sees Laura standing and staring at them but he looked away ignoring her and left with Kayla.
• Laura was pissed off and stomp her feet on the floor just then her driver pull up beside her and she left with him feeling annoyed.
