《VERDICT OF LOVE》Chapter 25
Advertisement
I groan placing the back of my hand on my forehead not only trying to block the rays from my eyes but also the banging in my head" who the hell opened the blinds" I groan out before blinking my eyes open.
I pick up my clock on the nightstand checking for the time" 10:49 am" getting drunk by six in the morning is never a good idea.
I arise sitting on the bed then place the clock on the nightstand before walking towards the bathroom.
Everything is well arranged and cleaned in the room after having an emotional meltdown this morning.
I got under the showerhead after striping letting the water ease the hangover.
After taking a shower and brushing my teeth I got into the walk-in closet changing into a black slim skinny harem and a grey pullover sweatshirt.
Taking a shower didn't help to ease the hangover and the pain is becoming excruciating.
After getting dressed I sent a quick message to Louis and Damien to come over before walking towards the kitchen to have a little bit of coffee.
"Good morning Mum," I say kissing orange on the cheek before taking a seat on the kitchen chair while she continues making breakfast.
"Morning. Take this for the hangover" she places a cup of coffee, aspirin, and a plate of bacon, scrambled eggs, pancake, waffles some fruit, and a jug of orange juice on the table with the help of two maids before taking a seat across from mine.
"Thanks, I need this," I say with a smile before dishing myself some pancake, bacon, and eggs.
"Drinking doesn't take the problems away or does it solve them," she says before pouring herself a glass of orange juice " it only adds more problem to the equation"
"Yeah, I will keep that in mind next time" I nod before taking the aspirin and gulping down the coffee " are you going to the hospital to see Shiloh?" I inquiry placing the cup of coffee down.
"Yes, I cleared my noon conference today just to visit her even though it was just for a few minutes before going back to the office" I nod taking a bite from my plate.
"You should put some ice on that," she says point towards my red jaw.
"I don't feel any pain on it just looks sore" I shrug.

"Come on guys you can't possibly still be angry," I say my eyes flicking between the both of them finding it irking that they are giving me the silent treatment.
Damien spreads out comfortably on my bed with his hand crossed under his head while Louis made himself well relaxed on the couch beside the bed while I the host stands across from them explaining what went down between me and Dad this morning excluding the secret since they know about the bargain I had with that man.
"We know Mr. Colt played a part in this but you played a bigger role in all this leading to this problem" Damien explains focusing his gaze on the ceiling.
"And besides we cautioned you to stop these games, " Louis continues nonchalantly.
"I know you told me to tell Mum and Shiloh before it got this far but I was too hot-headed to listen" I sigh running my hand through my already messy hair.
"But it never too late to fight," Louis says " maybe you can just start by doing nice things for her"
"No that won't help, remember she was leaving him before this occurred so maybe he could start by being truthful" Damien injects thoughtfully.
"Or maybe you guys aren't helping " I retorted before taking a seat beside Louis.
"You are still engaged to Sam I hope you still remember that" Damien informs me changing the topic.
"I had to send for a new phone this morning after throwing my old phone against the wall just because she doesn't know when to quit," I say with a frown.
Damien snort "That because you are getting married to her very soon so you can't get rid of her that easily"
"I am cutting of the wedding and if Mr. Colt desperately wants to merge with the Atlas then he can just get married to her himself" I grit out.
"Remember it won't be that easy you both just have to talk this out," Damien says.
" Yeah, I think that the best way, and besides the public knows you both are getting married one month from now," Louis says walking towards the mini-fridge in my room.
"I am not scared about the press or public reaction I can take care of them but Mr. Atlas is a very intelligent and ambitious man who wants nothing more than to merge our companies" I snarl.

"That the more reason you should speak with Sam and your Dad" Louis suggests taking a box of milk from the fridge before letting it close.
"My Dad would be of help if he agrees to end the engagement but if he doesn't then I have to involve Mum," I say firmly before glaring at Louis as he drinks directly from the box without bothering to get a glass.
"What ?" He asks innocently.
I stand from the couch taking my phone and car key from the nightstand ignoring his question" come on let go to the hospital" I announce without waiting for their reply I left the room towards my car.
Immediately we get to the hospital I had a word with the doctor before going to Shiloh's room.
Getting there I find Emma with two other guys and a girl standing beside her having a conversation.
Walking into the room with Louis and Damien beside me gaining their attention " Emma, who are all these people?" I question giving them a once-over look receiving glares from them before focusing my gaze on Emma.
"Chance must you always sound rude," she says sending me a glare before pointing towards the guy with black hair, dark brown eyes dressed in a t-shirt paired with black combat shorts " This is William Shiloh's friend and this here is," she says before pointing towards the guy holding on to Shiloh's hand with blue eyes, dark brown hair dressed in blank pants and blue button-up long sleeve shirt " Shane Shiloh's boss and also a good friend of hers" what Shiloh had a job? I thought she was only joking about getting one.
"And this is Summer," she says snapping me out of my thought while pointing towards the girl looking younger with dark brown hair, green eyes wearing blue skinny jeans, and a crop top.
"And everyone this is the famous Mr. Chance cristain Shiloh's heartbreaker," she says firmly clapping her hands together like she just did a great job intruding me.
"Emma I would like to have a word with you outside," I say pulling her by her wrist without waiting for her reply.
She removes her wrist angrily from my grip with a glower" I know you are so angry at me right now but you have to understand.." She cut me off.
" I know about everything Damien told me everything this morning but it doesn't give you the right to hurt her this way," she says lividly.
"I was confused and to be honest I am still confused about what to do now" I sigh running my head through my hair.
She scoffs" I don't care about how you feel but about how my best friend we feel after hearing about the reason you treated her so badly"
"That the reason I am telling you right now not say anything about this to her," I say mildly.
"What I want you to do right now is to stay away from her and the baby don't interfere with their lives anymore," she says calmly.
"I know Mum said the same thing to me this morning "
"That good I hope you listen to her this time and by the way, Shiloh's family was here a few minutes after you left, her mum and Dad are so furious with you"
"I am not scared of them they can do whatever they wish but one thing I hate is pretense," They think showing fake care would cover up their sin against Shiloh.
"I will take your advice but just let me see her one last time alone before leaving" I request.
"Okay, one last time," she says before walking towards Shiloh's room.
She pleaded with everyone to leave leaving me alone with Shiloh.
A place a tender kiss on her forehead before taking her hand in mine" I am letting you go but not too far away from me because I can't let you leave"
"I know I have hurt you so much but I am still hoping you create just one chance for me or I will create that one chance I need. You kept fighting for my love but now it will be my turn to fight for us and I promise never to back down or let you go away from me" I say firmly.
"I may sound like an asshole but these words are my determination to get you and my baby back," I say kissing her hand before placing it beside her " This is not a goodbye because you always will be my first and forever love" I study her feature placing it as a memento to never give up on her or my baby.
