Please Love Me, Again!
"What am I to you? A trash picker?" I asked him sarcastically, looking at him from head to toe in disdain. "Lauren." he growled, clenching his fists tightly, glaring at me in disbelief.
"Yeah, I know this is my name. You don't need to remind me, and please don't pop up in front of me like an unwanted ad in the middle of an interesting scene. You irritate me the most in this way." I scolded him, still with an ugly expression in disgust on my face.
"So, now I disgust you, huh? Why didn't you disgust before when I." "Because I was a fool back then. I assumed a filthy rock as a gem and paid a heavy price for that." Before he could complete his sentence, I interrupted him, scolding him in a loud voice.
His already widened angry eyes widened more in shock this time. I took a step forward while locking my gaze with him.
"A scum like you who used me when he needed me and then slapped the divorce paper doesn't deserve even a glance from me, Gabriel. Never bother me again, or else what I will do to you, you can't even think about that."
"Hey, babe. Why are you here?" I beamed when I heard his magnetic voice calling me from behind. I immediately moved towards him when Gabriel held my wrist.
"You are making a mistake, Lauren," he warned me in a stiff voice. I yanked my hand from his grip and threw a disgusting gaze on him before walking towards the boy who treated me like a treasure.
Gabriel’s devotion to his first love made me realize that loving myself is the only thing that can make me happy forever. I grabbed Vincent's arm with a beaming smile.

Chapter: he knew her fatherVincent’s P.O.V.“Her scan is normal," Dr. Carl Nelson told us calmly.I breathed out the breath that I was holding till now.“Oh, God!” Caellum also exclaimed aloud in relief.The last three hours brought back the memories of the accident and what happened after that.I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths.“The previous scan showed significant swelling at that time. This scan showed that she is perfectly fine.” Dr. Nelson explained further; his voice was still calm and soft.“That’s great. That’s great.” Caellum muttered again and again in a shaky voice.He was sitting in a chair all the time.His legs were trembling all the time.I was no better than him, but I was still standing.“Then…… why did she suddenly collapse?” Caellum asked before I could.“Exhaustion can be a reason, Mr. Shaw. I also saw that article and her reply. She must be under a lot of stress during the day.” He answered and rubbed his temple.“Her blood test reports are yet to come, but I have my doubts abou

Chapter: my logsLauren’s P.O.V.I let the phone vibrate on the desk without even glancing at it.The whole day had exhausted me to the bone, and I had no intention of talking to anyone, let alone Celia Ashford.She had been calling me constantly for the past three hours, and I rejected every call after taking the first one.She blamed me for ruining her relationship with Gabriel.She asked why I was still pestering Gabriel when I had already divorced her.She blamed me for not giving up a slot in the trial because I was jealous of her being the one in Gabriel’s heart.I listened to her nonsense for merely a few seconds, but it intensified the headache.So, I did only one thing.I hung up.But I didn’t block her number.Let her call me to her heart's content.But I did one thing.I sent the recording to Gabriel and blocked him.I already knew about Gabriel’s visit and what Caellum said to him.I had no problem with that.Back then, when I decided to marry Gabriel to repay the favor, Caellum almost loc

Chapter: her tantrumsGabriel’s P.O.V. (Continued)“You are spying on me?” I asked her through my teeth.There was silence on her side for a few seconds, but I chuckled dryly.“Do you really think that you can control me, Celia?” I asked her mockingly.“Who are you to me?” I added without any hesitation.I heard her gasping, but I felt nothing.What was there for me to feel?“I told you the very first day you approached me that I would help you with your treatment as much as I could, but there will be no ties between us. For the world, you are my girlfriend, but that’s it.” I continued; my voice got colder with every word coming out of my mouth.She sobbed, and I hung up.I hated being controlled, and Celia was doing the same thing.I owed her a favor, and that’s why I divorced Lauren.My breath was ragging.I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm myself down.“You brought this upon yourself, Gabriel. Celia has always been like this. You knew this, and yet you let her come back when you should

Chapter: realization hit me hardCaellum’s P.O.V. (Continued)For a few seconds, he stayed frozen in his place.His eyes widened in shock, and he just stared at me blankly.I didn’t have the patience to sit here and watch him.This man made my baby sister’s life miserable for three years, and in the end, what she got was divorce papers in gratitude.I looked at my wristwatch impatiently when he didn’t speak again.“If you have nothing else to say, leave the company premises, Mr. Westfield. My sister is not idle to entertain you, and I don’t want you to appear in front of her again. You have already hurt her enough,” I spoke coldly while standing up.His expression changed.He looked at me with a blank gaze this time.“So, you guys have already painted me as a villain, huh?” he asked, and I jerked my head backward in confusion, furrowing my brows lightly.He slowly stood up and adjusted his cufflinks before speaking up.“I know what I did wrong, Mr. Shaw, and I never hesitated admitting my mistake, but Lauren is not c

Chapter: a multitaskerVincent’s P.O.V. (continued)“Lauren. She has started sleepwalking, and the problem is that she goes for knives during her walk,” I answered him in a serious tone.He gasped in shock and blinked hard while processing what I said.I gave him time to come out of his shock.“Did….. did you tell her about that?” he asked me after a while. He was still in a state of disbelief.“No,” I answered calmly.“Why not?”“Because she already has so many things to take care of, and I don’t want to add one more to that list,” I replied without any hesitation.“This is serious, Vincent. She must know,” Caellum argued, angry with me now.“I know, Caellum, but the problem is that her sleepwalk is not natural,” I argued back, my voice raised a bit.He was about to yell at me when his phone started ringing.He shut his mouth, but his face had turned dark by now.My phone also started ringing at the same time.I sighed and took my phone from the coffee table.He also took his call.“I sent you the report o

Chapter: her revengeVincent’s P.O.V.“Why this look?” I asked Caellum while giving him a glass of wine.We both needed this.He took the glass from me but didn’t answer me immediately.He looked lost.And troubled.I didn’t press and slowly walked to the long couch.Lauren had a meeting to attend.She had already gone, but what we did half an hour ago was still reeling in our minds.“She has grown up,” Caellum mumbled while sipping the wine.I sat down comfortably and took a sip, too.“My baby sister has all grown up,” he mumbled again.I didn’t say a word in response because I was also in a state of trance.The next few minutes, we just sipped slowly while drowned in our thoughts.I didn’t know why, but my mind was still reeling from a line about Lauren that Liam told us that day.That they manipulated her genes, and that’s why Lauren’s brain was this sharp.She has always been intelligent and was called a prodigy by her teachers and professors, but what she did today was far from a prodigy status.She
