Allure of Darkness!

8. True Face!

Author's POV

"Laurence!"
Marona called him and tried to stop him before he could leave.
They were in the hallway, she grabbed his hand and pulled him in the corner.

Laurence removed her hand from his and fixed his jacket.
"What's wrong?... Marona, I am getting late."

Marona looked at him restlessly, she was dying in guilt.
"Laurence, listen to me first and then go... Last night when you left, someone came into our room. It was dark so I couldn't see his face, I thought it was you and I had intimate moments with that man."
She confessed in one go.
"I swear, I wasn't aware... I thought it was you. He felt just like you, it was a familiar touch and that's why I didn't realise... You remember our first time, it felt just like that... I don't know what happened"

Laurence clenched his jaw and she gulped but he took a deep breath while trying to stay calm.
"It's okay! Mistakes happen."
He patted her cheek with a smile.

She frowned at him.
"You are not mad?"

"Why would I be?"
He chuckled.
"It was a mistake, you didn't cheat on me... I trust you!"

She smiled and hugged him.
"I am sorry..."

He nodded while breaking the hug.
"I forgot that grey file at our house and don't have time to get it, if you are free then can you bring it for me?"

Marona quickly nodded.
"Yes, I am free... I'll leave now. Don't worry, I'll get it for you."
She sighed in relief and turned to leave. She placed her hand on her chest as she felt her breathing calming down. Her smile widened with the happiness that Laurence trusted her and she got the right man.

When she walked out, Laurence's smile turned into a disgusted look.
"Slut!"
He gritted madly.
"Cape!"
He growled while walking out and Cape who is his trusted man came to him.

"What happened, Laurence?"
He asked when he saw him offended.

"Mikhail fucked Marona!"
He punched the car madly.

Cape shook his head, he is Laurence's friend but he knows that Laurence is stupid and does things impulsively.
"I had already warned you that you shouldn't aim for Mikhail's girl.... You knew that Mikhail is interested in her still you married her... It was bound to happen, Mikhail never let go of his things..."
Cape scolded him.
"Remember how he snatched the car which he liked but you brought it to mock him. If he can take back the car then imagine what he will do to get his woman."

Laurence smirked.
"His woman?... She fell for me. And who the hell is Mikhail, what does he think of himself?"
He grew frustrated.

Cape leaned against the car.
"You know who he is and remember that he is the strongest player of the Delgado family. He has inherited Leonardo's mind skills which your siblings didn't. Rafael is powerful because of Mikhail and Damon, you were supposed to win them but you messed with them."

"Throne is mine anyway!"
He said arrogantly.
"Mikhail can't do anything except licking Rafael's ass. I snatched his bitch, what did he do?"

Cape rubbed his forehead.
"He fucked her when she was your wife. That's it, there you lost everything... Do you understand the meaning of your woman not recognising your touch? It means you never satisfied her and Mikhail now knows it... He knows that you failed as a man."

Laurence angrily grabbed his throat.
"I know how to fuck my bitches, it's just that fat bitch is not my woman. She is Mikhail's and I never wanted to give her any pleasure..."
He let him go and scowled.
"How will she recognise my touch when I never took her interestingly... She was just a task to do. And you are calling me a loser, she didn't recognise Mikhail either..."
