Unexpected Death

"Laura…" Grey tightened his hold on Laura as he noted that she didn't leave Mrs John's hand. As her view distracted she gazed at Grey in havoc.

"What happened?" Grey asked, noticing her pale face.

"Nothing… I…" Laura gazed at Mrs John and smiled a little. She left Mrs John's hand and hugged Grey's arm.

"You guys carry on." Mr John pointed at his assistant. Soon his assistant took Grey and Laura to a table.

"Laura… what happened?" Grey held her hand as she was in deep thought.

"Grey… are you going to sign a contract with Mr John?" Laura inquired.

"Yes… is there any problem?" Asked Grey in a low voice. He could sense her tensed face.

"Grey… let's not sign it." Laura stared into his eyes.

"Why?" Grey frowned. Laura made sure that none heard them.

"Grey… Mrs John is going to die tonight." Laura whispered in Grey's ears. Immediately Grey widened his ears in shock.

"And the most interesting fact was that…" Laura scanned her surroundings and made sure that no one was hearing them.

"She knows that she is going to be killed by her husband," Laura whispered. Grey's voice stuck in his throat.

"How do you know that?" Grey asked Laura in disbelief. Laura held Grey's hand and stared into his eyes.

"Grey… you know I am different so I can read people's minds by touching them," Laura mumbled. Immediately Grey retrieved his hand from her. Laura chuckled, noticing Grey's panic.

"Ha… ha… don't worry… in this you are lucky. I couldn't read your mind." Laura said.

"Why? Am I not human?" Grey growled. Laura chuckled, noticing his shocked face.

"That… I am not sure about it. But… I can't read your thoughts." Laura sighed in disappointment.

"Ohh Thank God!!" Immediately Grey let out a relieved breath.

"But… Jessica can hear you. Remember that." Laura leaned close to Grey and mumbled. Grey gazed at Laura helplessly.

"Miss knight… after the party kindly enlighten me on everything about you," Grey whispered in her ears.

"Fine. But now… what will we do about Mrs John." Laura gazed at Mrs John who was standing beside John.

"But why does Mr John need to kill his wife?" Enquired Grey.

"John's business is having a loss. Through you, he was trying to get back his old position in the business." Said Laura.

"But…" Grey scowled.

"He just trapped you and he needs sympathy now. So he was trying to create it by killing his wife." Laura said.

"But Laura… How can she be happy knowing about it." Asked Grey.

"Because she doesn't have a choice," Laura said.

"Grey… let's go back after tonight's party. You are not signing the project." Laura said.

"But… Mrs John…" Grey couldn't help but think about Mrs John.

"She will be safe." Murmured Laura.

"What are you going to do?" Asked Grey.

"Wait and see," Laura smirked, gazing at John. Grey gulped, staring at her eyes gleaming with a cunning plan.

As Grey and Laura were involved in the talk Amelia approached them.

"Grey… you look handsome in this suit." Amelia smiled shamelessly. Grey ignored her. But… Laura initiated a talk.

"Hi, Amelia. What a surprise!!! you are here?" Laura's enthusiastic voice made Grey frown. As the guests were noticing them Amelia smiled.

"Hi, I think I should be here as this is my Uncle and Aunt's wedding anniversary celebration," Amelia replied, gritting her teeth.

"Ohh… thank God. Amelia… please can you do me a favour… just be with Grey for some time. I need to go to the restroom." Laura asked, holding Amelia's hand.

Amelia widened her eyes in shock and Grey blinked at Laura.

"Honey… I will be back soon. Please accompany Miss Amelia for some time." Saying Laura placed a peck on his lips. Amelia widened her eyes.

Grey, who was confused by her sudden change, felt confused. He held Laura's hand and stopped her. Immediately Laura hugged Grey.

"Grey… wait here… I have a small job. After that, we will talk about our deal." Laura whispered in his ears.

"I will miss you" Grey tightened his hold on her waist.

"You should" Laura reminded him and walked after smirking at Amelia who was standing curbing her irritation.

"Grey… she doesn't match you," Amelia murmured gazing at Laura's back.

"Miss Amelia… we don't have any alliance other than business partners. And I am not sure if this project will go ahead till I sign those papers. So stand a mile away from me. That's good for you and your family." Grey threatened Amelia and walked away.

Amelia stood stunned hearing him. Doesn't he come to sign the contract? If he doesn't sign it her dad's business as well as her Uncle John will go bankrupt.

Immediately Amelia searched for her dad who was busy greeting guests. Spotting him she walked to him.

"Dad" Amelia held David's hand.

"What is it, Amelia?" David frowned, noticing her panicked state.

"Dad… What about the matter I told you?" Asked Amelia.

"Which?" David frowned.

"Dad… about Grey" she pouted.

"Amelia…be patient… let's first sign the contract." Warned David and moved away leaving Amelia in stress.

David and John found Grey as their saviour from the upcoming losses of their business. Even they succeeded in tricking Grey into thinking that they were a well-established firm. Knowing Amelia's wish to be Grey's wife made John and David make plans.

But John had a different plan. He just needed to eliminate his younger brother from the plan. So he planned to kill his wife and blame David for that. And Mrs John, who was aware of her husband's plan, accepted her death as she had no other way to escape from John. Unaware of her Dad and Uncle's plan Amelia dreamed of being Grey's wife at any cost.

As Amelia was in her thoughts suddenly a loud noise was heard. And something big fell in front of her. Amelia widened her eyes in shock, noticing John lying dead in a pool of blood.
