Laura's POV "I am sorry, Mother. I wish we could stay the night, but I have an emergency I need to attend to at home," he said. "How can you book a flight this evening? Would you even be able to find any flights going to Italy at this time of night?" she asked. Nicholas smiled and began to say, "We came with..." "Return tickets," I finished, cutting him off. He looked at me quizzically, wondering why I had done what I did, but suddenly it seemed to click. "Oh yeah, we booked return tickets for the three of us," he said. My mother had a solemn look on her face; she liked Nicholas a whole lot and would have wanted him to stay the night. "Don't worry, Mother. You can always come over to visit us in Italy. Whenever you want to come, just say the word, and I'd book your flight," her face instantly lit up. "Trust me, that will happen pretty soon," she said, looking at the three of us. "I bet it will," I replied. She rolled her eyes at me, and we all chuckled. "Okay, off we go then,"

Laura's POV The store manager was shocked for a moment. After regaining his composure, he hurried toward Nicholas. "Good evening, boss... we... we... weren't informed you were coming," he stuttered. Did he just call Nicholas "boss"? I thought. Does that mean they know each other from before? Wait, Nicholas is a very influential and powerful man. There's actually no way he knows this store manager on a personal level. I continued to observe to see how things would unfold. "I don't think I need to inform anyone about my movements," Nicholas said coldly as he glanced at the name tag on the store manager's suit. "Employees? This boutique belongs to Nicholas?" Holy crap! I was shocked. I knew he was wealthy and owned a lot of things, but I never thought this boutique belonged to him. Nicholas picked up his phone and made a call. A few seconds later, he said coldly, "What kind of store managers do you assign to my branches?" Then, he added, "Find a replacement immediately and vet them

Laura's POV She smiled seductively at him and traced her fingers on his suit. "Of course, I am here to see you, darling," she chuckled. "It has been a while, Nicholas. I know I left you when I shouldn't have, but I am back now. Let's pick up from where we left off." I gave him one extra chance, one chance to prove that whatever they had was in the past. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. He couldn't possibly have been deceiving me all this time, could he? All he needed to do was shush her up and tell her there was nothing between them anymore, and that he now had a girlfriend whom he loved more than anything in the world. That was all I needed for everything to be forgiven, but Nicholas didn't utter a word. Instead, he glanced towards me. His silence was golden, and it spoke volumes. It shattered me. The way he looked at her showed that there was still something there. It was obvious he still had feelings for her. I almost lost my balance as I tried to step back. "Laura!"

Nicholas POVThe day had finally arrived, the day when I would meet up with Rose at the hotel she mentioned. I hadn't told Laura about it because I thought she might not understand and could end up feeling insecure, thinking I still had something going on with Rose. I wanted to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings and maintain the perfect harmony we had in our relationship.It was 3 pm, and my excitement was palpable. I had to leave early because I wanted to make sure everything went smoothly. I had returned home by 2 pm to get ready properly before heading out. As I descended the stairs, I heard voices in the living room. A smile crept onto my face; Laura was already back. Although she wasn't supposed to return until 5 pm, I had thought I would have already left by the time she got back.As I got closer, her eyes darted towards me, and a smile immediately spread across her face. She had been having a chat with Abraham."She just came back, Abraham. She needs rest. Don't you have t

Nicholas' POVThere was a problem, but I couldn't bring myself to tell her what it was. How could I explain that I had been sexually assaulted by the same woman she had doubts about? The same woman who is the mother of my child? I just couldn't do that."There's no problem, my love," I replied, forcing a smile. "I've just had a very hectic day, that's all." I put my arm around her and planted a kiss on her forehead."Sorry about that, babe," she said before placing her hand around my waist and leaning in closer. "Have you had something to eat? I reckon you must be famished." I actually was very hungry, given that I had expended a good amount of energy having sex with Rose, and I needed to replenish.I looked at her, avoiding her gaze, and replied, "I am actually very hungry." She smiled at me, the kind of smile that's supposed to make one's heart flutter, that smile that conveys genuine love. But this time around, it tore at my heart because it reminded me of all my sins and made me f

Laura's POV"Good day, madam," he greeted with a smile. His voice was so rich and deep that it made my heart flutter. I swallowed hard."It is Laura, just Laura," I replied. I wasn't about to let him use a title that would make me look old. "What is wrong with you, Laura?" I thought to myself. "You haven't had any problem with others calling you madam, but suddenly you don't want this man to address you by the same title.""Okay, Laura, I will take note of that," he responded. I was so distracted; the muscles on his body were bulging through the singlet he wore. I imagined what it would be like to rip them off his body with my hands."No, Laura! You can't be thinking about such things. Just remember Nicholas and behave! You've already been taken by a man who would move heaven and earth for you. You cannot be lusting over a man you just met. That just isn't right.""Who are you?" I asked curiously."I am Fernando, a newly employed gardener," he said calmly, his eyes fixated on mine."Y

Laura's POV I stared at the doctor in astonishment, my mouth slightly ajar. He'd better not be jesting, as this was certainly no laughing matter. "Are you being serious, Doctor?" I inquired. He met my gaze and offered a smile. "I've never been more serious about anything in my entire life; you're already two months pregnant," he affirmed. His jovial demeanor was evident in both his speech and actions. Sensing my bewilderment, he added, "If you'd like, I can perform an ultrasound to confirm it for yourself. I'd be more than happy to do so." "That's precisely what I needed," I thought. An ultrasound would undoubtedly dispel all my doubts. "Please, let's proceed with the ultrasound, Doctor. I just need to be absolutely certain," I expressed, and he responded with a smile as he rose from his seat. "Very well, then. Let's do just that," he beckoned for me to lie down on the bed, with my shirt lifted slightly. I followed his instructions and patiently awaited the start of the ultrasoun

Laura's POVI awoke, squinting my eyes as I surveyed my unfamiliar surroundings. Panic washed over me as questions raced through my mind: Why was I here? Who had brought me here? I found myself lying on the cold floor, my hands and legs tightly bound.Then, the memories of the harrowing events flooded back into my consciousness. I had been abducted from the hospital, just as I was about to make a call to Nicholas.Two men had perpetrated the kidnapping, though I was too dazed and weak to discern their faces clearly. From what little I managed to see, they were entirely unfamiliar to me; I had never encountered them before.The thought crossed my mind – who could have ordered my abduction? Could it possibly be my father? I pondered this, though the likelihood seemed slim, especially considering his recent attempt to reconcile with me a few weeks ago.He should desire to be in my good graces at this moment and refrain from taking any impulsive actions that could further strain our relat
