POV: Laura“No, peaches…You don’t really mean that, you can’t say that to me, not after everything we’ve been through.” I told her, trying not to break down as she sounded so mean to me just now.“Look, Laura, I don’t know what he told you, but I know you can fight this drug he is using on you. Hear my voice and think of all the good times we spent together. Don’t listen to his lies, Laura, think for yourself and discover the truth.” I pleaded, hoping I got through to her. I could hear his voice in the background as he kept whispering in her ears, telling her not to listen to me because I was trying to trick her. For a while, I did not hear anything she was saying then she spoke back to me and she sounded so confused, “Did you say peaches?” She asked me, sounding like the inquisitive Laura I know for the first time since she fell down that stairs. “Yes, Laura, I just called you peaches, just like I always did. You like that, don’t you?Why don’t you tell him to turn the car around
POV: Nathan “How dare you!” I yelled at him, glaring daggers at him, ignoring the rest of the cops as they ran to help him. A few guys tried to hold me back, but I shoved them aside and threw myself at him, tackling him to the floor and pinning him on the spot, holding him by his shirt collar and pulling him forward to glare at him,“I will find Kendrick and rescue my wife from him. When I save Laura and bring her back home, then I’m coming for you, and I’ll make you pay for trying to make a foul out of me.” I told him with a smile on my face, letting go of his shirt and shoving him off roughly. I did not wait to explain myself or answer any questions, I left the precinct and headed back to his house, aiming to break down the damn door and face the consequences later. As I drove back to his home, I picked up my phone again, trying to see if I’d be lucky enough to get through to Laura again. It was when I opened my call log to dial her number that I noticed that Cameron had been tryin
POV: Nathan I haven’t discussed it with anyone yet, and I’m pretty sure that I was alone with the doctor when he told me he needed those samples to make an antidote. How the hell did she know about it?I signaled the hacker to keep working, while I pulled her out of the room angrily. I don’t want to create a scene or raise a false alarm by accusing her falsely. I beckoned on my chief security officer to come with me, and I also asked Ethan to come along too. I may not not want to raise a false alarm and at the same time, I still don’t want to be taken unaware, in case she has a mean trick up her sleeves. I pulled her out roughly, glaring dangerously at her. “How do you know I needed to send these samples to the doctor, Cameron?I never talked about it, and you sure weren’t there when the doctor told me he needed the samples before he would make an antidote. Have you been working with Kendrick all along, did he send you here to destroy the samples before we could get them to the doct
POV: NathanI thought I was ready for this, but nothing could prepare me for what I was about to see. I was so distracted when Laura and Kendrick walked into the house, kissing excitedly. It hurt me to see her this happy with another man, and at the same time, it scares me to see how pale she has become. It’s obvious that he has pumped her full of this damned drug, she isn’t feeling well at all. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t know what she is doing right now, she is not in her right senses anymore. One more dosage of his serum could drive her insane or make her lose her memory forever.“We need to act fast, guys, she needs that antidote as soon as possible. Don’t speak to him, I’ll keep him occupied while you deal with her.” I instructed my guys through the intercom we are using to communicate with each other. I spoke silently so I don’t arouse their attention until they walk on through the door and shut the damn door. They were still fooling around by the beach, kissing and giggling exc
POV: Nathan After the incident, Laura was taken to the hospital to receive the necessary medical attention and recover from the traumatic experience. I stood by her side throughout the entire process, providing comfort, support, and a sense of security. I felt so worried, I couldn’t help feeling concerned for her well-being, and I made sure she received the best possible care from the doctors. So far, we have spent a few days in the hospital, and as the days passed, Laura's strength began to return, both physically and emotionally. I would have loved to say that my constant presence and unwavering love were her source of strength during the healing process, but that would be a big lie. The only reason she is trying so hard to get better is because she wants to pay a visit to her friends, look them in the eyes, and ask them why they betrayed her this way. If you ask me, I think she is simply looking for a reason to forgive them, and that would be so stupid. We should let them face t
POV: Laura It's almost 2:00 in the morning. I sat up on our big mahogany bed, supporting my head with my hand. I’d just been woken up by a nightmare. It's the same nightmare that has plagued me ever since I heard the rumor that Nathan is going to going to be my husband.It was three years ago, but I remember it as if it was yesterday. Dad had woken me up with the news that I was getting married to his best friend's son. I had no idea who he was and I’d never met him before that day. Our marriage was arranged by our dads, his family needed a huge loan from Dad, and Dad gave them the condition that I get married to Nathan.Dad wanted to punish me for being rebellious. I am his only child, and yet I wasn’t concerned about the family business, I never cared about the company and our other businesses. All I did was party with my friends and have as much fun as I desired. So he decided to punish me by forcing me into this loveless marriage. He hoped that marriage would humble me and make m
POV: Nathan I leaned my back against my high-backed swivel seat and made a steeple with the tip of my finger as I listened to the man seated across from me. To a stranger, it would seem as though my mind was a million miles away, but in truth, every nerve in my body is alert. I’m taking in every word he is saying and processing every detail. The man seated across from me is Ethan Hawke, my lawyer, and best friend. He just brought me the divorce papers I requested for, but as usual, he felt the need to advise me against it, claiming that I was making a wrong decision. He thinks I’m an asshole for using her family's wealth to revive our company and bring my family’s business back on track. I can’t really say that I blame him for thinking that I’m the bad guy. He’s not the one who has to live with that boring housewife of mine. She carries herself like a dutiful housewife, acting like a perfect housewife. She spends every fucking minute in that house, brooding and regretting her dec
POV: Laura I wasn’t expecting this, I did not expect to be greeted with a divorce paper. I’d always thought that he was too much of a gentleman to call it quits. That is why I was shocked at first. I thought he was just joking around, I had to pretend to be sad so he doesn’t suspect a thing. But the truth is that I’m not just excited, I’m in a party mood right now. This is exactly what I wanted, but I didn't get the chance to say that yet. Actually, I didn’t want to be the one to propose a divorce first. I’d been struggling to keep up with this boring lifestyle for three solid years. Gosh, it’s been hell to live with this guy, I could barely breathe. He’s such a prude, and I had to pretend to be as prude as he was just to make this fucking marriage work and bring honor to my family. I’m used to living a wild life, I love clubbing and partying. I love having fun with my friends every fucking day. But since I married this guy, it’s been hell on earth. This has been a loveless marriage
