“I want to hear you say that again.” King smiled into the phone talking to Laura, as he leaned forward on his office table biting on the head of his pen like some puppy lover.“King! I have to return to work. Uhhh have a nice day.” Laura replied with another round of giggles.“Don’t you dare hang up on me babe! I paused an important meeting just so I could pick you call. You’ve got to give me what I want.” He spoke firmly. Looking around at the table to lock eyes with the different men in suit listening to his conversation.“I’ve got to go bye..” Laura whispered slowly.“Laura!” King warned. His voice commanding.“Okay fine. I love you Mr McGorrith. I love you. I love you. I’m terribly in love with you and I couldn’t stop thinking about you all day. There! I said it. Can I go now?” Laura’s voice filled with happy smiles.King blushed so hard, the men in the room were chuckling and embarsssed on his behalf. They couldn’t believe the almighty Kingston McGorrith was head over heels in lo
Andre had been watching King from the moment they left the office.“Sir, do you think Maddie hadn’t spilled over to Laura yet? You know how close those two are.” Andre spoke with a light laugh as he pulled the car to park in front of the cafe.“We were able to pull off the gender reveal surprise. I’m sure we can do this too. I can’t wait to start calling her my wife every minute.” King responded, arranging his tie and smoothing his hair as he prepared to step out of the vehicle.“And after today you better start referring to Laura as Mrs. McGorrith or I’m going to have you fired and jailed. Infact I’m going to start threatening everyone who doesn’t refer to her as Mrs. McGorrith.” King added with a smirk.“Including Dave?!” Andre gasped with a loud laugh.“Yes! Including Dave.” King got out of the car laughing in unison.He had already informed few family members and friends to come stand as witness st the court. The plan was for Maddie to leave the cafe earlier before he arrived with
The news about King’s decision to bring in Laura to the company has spread like wild fire in just two days. Almost everyone in the company were ecstatic to hear about it. Brian was the happiest in fact. He loved that his best friend—King— was now a responsible family man. The board members were still finalizing the decision. King didn’t just want to invite Laura into the building so she could be aware of her new position. He wanted to make it a surprise. Brian was on the same page as him. But when Chase was asked about his opinion he couldn’t mask his disgust.King knew Chase had always been a double sword human. But right now? He was beginning to relate with him with caution. He had his eyes on him. He also had Detective Marshal on him.The two people who were livid and went bunkers on the news were Karl and Chase. They hated that King could make such a bold step and among that, other investigations and decisions that put both men at risk.Karl's car pulled into a secluded alley, t
Karl's gaze lingered on Chase for a brief moment. "Remember, our alliance relies on mutual benefit. Don't forget your loyalty lies with me. Babe." Chase mind swirled uneasily. He didn’t want to get in Karl’s bad side and he also didn’t want King to suspect anything from the call so he decided to send an ‘I’m busy at the moment’ message and then put the phone on silent.Chase was about drop turning off the phone when Brian’s call came in.Where they on to him now or what?! “Who is that?” Karl asked.“Who else? The puppy ducking Brian! I can’t even stand him.” Chase replied before turning off his phone. His anger was beginning to boil over again.“I can understand King’s hate but why Brian?!” Karl inquired with a contorted look.“He's always been the favorite. Brian's always sucking up to him." Chase bellowed our his reply. His eyes blazing with jealousy.“Really? You're still hung up on that boy over the fact that King confides in him more?" Chase's jaw clenched. Refusing to let his
Laura was in the toilet urinating when she heard her phone ringing. This was the third time the person was calling already. But Laura couldn’t rush out because of how she would have to be careful with her baby bump. She made a mental note to call the person once she got out.These days she consumed more water and was frequenting the toilet often. Either to urinate or to throw up. But she was glad her constant dizziness and weakness had stopped. Ever since she changed her drugs.After the court marriage, Laura and King had become inseparable. It was just a week. She loved the feeling. I meannnShe knew she was his fiancé. He called her his wife often. But it being official was another ball game entirely. King never failed to use the title on her. He loved it just as much. She had even changed her socials to ‘Mrs McGorrith’ many people who shamed her when they had gotten engaged began to praise her and hush over her.But there were still others who dragged her by her nipples. Many were
“Mrs McGorrith, would you like for us to stop at the cafe before heading to St. Clement’s hospital?” The new driver—David— asked softly as Laura settled st the hack of the car.“Oh..erhhh no not at all. And we aren’t going to Dr. Manuel today. Please take me to see Dr. Liam.” Laura replied with courtesy.The young British man who was about 27 years of age was always so polite with her. He never spoke unnecessarily or made unethical comments. Laura felt comfortable around him. She was sure King had given him an earful of warnings.David drove out of the mansion, tuning the radio toan old country music station. Getting to the hospital, Laura checked her watch and saw it was already past 2pm. And she knew Dr. Liam would soon step out for his lunch break. She hoped he was still in.“Hello. Dr. Liam around? I’m here to see him.” Laura politely asked the nurse on the front desk in a rush.“Hi Miss Ferguson! So nice to see you again. Yes yes Dr. Kentucky is in but I think there’s someone wi
Laura had left Dr. Liam’s office feeling more disturbed than she was when she walked in.Were they probably friends? Or it happened that she was just a patient?She checked the time and saw it was few minutes before 4pm.“You’re leaving already Miss McGorrith?” Nurse Vicky who was at the front desk, had called out.“Ohhh hi nurse Vick. Yes, I’m done with Dr. Liam for the day. Everything is alright. Our little beanie is doing just fine.” Laura replied politely.“Good need for today. It was so good seeing you again.. I’ve missed your cookies you know..” nurse Vicky joked.Laura laughed at her statement. Of course—she thought.Nurse Vicky was among her favorite nurses. They were ‘clinical friends’ as Dr. Liam always referred to them.Speaking of Dr. Liam, Laura suddenly felt the need to confide in Nurse Vicky about Stacey. She might probably know something.“Thanks Vicky.. uhmmm please can I ask you something.?”“Yes. Go on? Anything the matter?” The nurse serious expression matched
Laura has dreamt of this moment severalTimes. Reminiscing on their sexual encounter in his office. She wanted him more than anything right now.And the baby? Oouuuuu, it brings more spice to the touch.She steeled herself, ready to gamble. All or nothing.“Why are you touching me like this Mr McGorrith?” She giggled.King’s fingers found a spot between her thighs and kept rubbing lightly. “Tell me about your day baby.” “I.. I ermm.” She stifled her moan“Breath baby. Breathe.”“Can we leave the talking for later?” She whispered into him. Causing King to raise a questioning eyebrow.Then she got up from his lap, laughing like a teenager and pushed some paperwork aside on his desk and sat down, spreading her legs so her could see right up between her thighs.King’s mouth gaped open as he stared up her skirt, but he didn’t say anything or move away.‘‘I miss you,’’ she said, her voice still husky, still yearning for the orgasm she’d been denied the previous night. ‘We can make this qui
They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but Stephanie Pearson preferred hers steaming hot with a side dessert of sizzling chaos. And oh, she was starving.Stephanie’s crimson nails lightly scratched the silk fabric of her blouse as she stood in front of her floor-length mirror, her reflection staring back at her like an old friend with a knowing smirk. She wasn’t dressed for anything fancy—just a casual crop top and ripped jeans—but that didn’t matter. What mattered was the way her hand instinctively drifted to her stomach.“That foolish Laura,” she muttered, cocking her head to the side, her freckled nose wrinkling in displeasure. “Thinks she can have Kingston all to herself? Oh, honey. No can do.”Her reflection grinned back at her, she was the version of herself she had grown to love over the past few months. She couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle—no, that chuckle was psychotic, if heard closely. “How does she even sleep at night?” Stephanie continued, her high-pitched v
Kingston knew well how to control himself. Everything and every aspect in his life was organized, even down to the way he poured his whiskey. But as he found himself pressing Laura against the bedroom wall, his lips teasing hers with the kind of hunger that could ruin a person, all that control? Out the window.“King…” Laura whispered, her voice breathless, her lips swollen from his warm kisses.“Say it again,” he murmured, his mouth trailing down her jawline, his hands sliding beneath her dress, sending passionate heat on her skin.“King,” she repeated, her tone pleading this time.And that was all he needed.Neither of them remembered how they had made it to the bedroom or when her dress landed on the floor like a forgotten piece of memory. His shirt joined the pile, his tie long gone, and Laura’s delicate lingerie soon followed, leaving her body bare under the soft glow of the bedside lamp.“Lie down,” he commanded, his voice low and rough, yet filled with the only softness he had
Kingston McGorrith was not the kind of man you would expect to see juggling shareholder documents with baby-shopping plans at the back of his mind, but here he was, sitting at his mahogany desk, scrolling through spreadsheets like his life depended on it. And maybe it did. Between managing his multi-billion-dollar empire and making sure his pregnant wife was happy, this man was booked, busy, and his borderline was completely burned out.His office was quiet except for the sound coming from the faint hum of the air conditioner and the occasional ping of his phone. His assistant had just dropped off the finalized documents for Laura’s announcement as a shareholder, and King had to admit—it felt so unreal. Laura wasn’t just the mother of his unborn child; she was about to become part of his business, his legacy. The thought made him smile that rare but genuine smile that softened his usually sharp facial features.“Everything looks solid,” Brian said, leaning back in his chair as he flip
King barely made it through the front door before Laura was already up from the couch, her eyes lighting up as she reached for him. “Rough day?” she asked softly, her fingers sliding to loosen the silk tie he hadn’t even bothered to straighten properly.King groaned, tossing his briefcase to the floor like it had personally offended him. “Rough doesn’t even cover it.” He shrugged off his blazer, running a hand down his face. “Anne is missing.”Laura’s hands froze midway through loosening the tie as her brows arched up. “Wait. What?”“She’s been unreachable since earlier today. Her phone’s dead, no sign of her anywhere,” he muttered, his tone sharp, but the worry was still evident in his voice. “She tried calling once, but it didn’t even last a second before the line went dead.”“Oh my God,” Laura whispered, stepping closer. “Have you called the cops? Tracked her phone?”King sighed as he tugged off his tie completely, the veins in his neck bulging from frustration. “We tried. Marshall
“Hey, have you heard from Anne?” Greg asked as he barged into King’s office without knocking, his voice tight with concern.King didn't bother looking up from his laptop, his expression bored. “No, she’s avoiding us. And to teach her a lesson, I blocked all her credit cards. Let her sweat a little.”Greg blinked twice, clearly thrown aback as his brows knitted together. “Okay, first of all, bold move. Second, she texted me earlier saying she was back in the country and asked me to pick her up soon. That doesn’t sound like someone who’s avoiding us.”King froze for a second, his fingers hovering over the keyboard lightly. The calm expression on his face began to crack slightly. “What are you saying? Are you kidding?”“I’m dead serious. She said she'd call again when she was ready. But now, nothing. I’ve tried calling her, but she isn’t answering. That's… not Anne.” Greg muttered, his tone dipping into worry.King leaned back in his chair, rolling his eyes until his gaze shifted to the
“Anne.. what are you?..” Karl jumped, knocking down the lamp beside the couch.Of all things for Karl to be?! Gay?!Two naked men having hardcore sex in Karl’s parlor!!“Karl? Oh Christ!!? Karl Benedict?” Anne bellowed shockingly. Her breathing was as disorganized as her face at the moment.Did she just walk in to Karl pumping his hard dick into the arse of another man?!CHASE?“Fuck.. fuck .. fuck .. fuck..” Anne couldn’t believe how fast her heart was pounding. She staggered back to lean of the door for support.“What.. Anne? What are you doing here.. It’s not.. fuck!?” This time around it was Chase stuttering. Rushing to cover up his body.Same Karl? Her brother’s rival? Her boyfriend!And Chase? Her brother’s ‘supposed’ best friend?Her head was spinning uncontrollably. Karl didn’t even look sorry. He was rushing to put on his shorts. Anne couldn’t help but notice both men’s limp dick.The actual fuck?“What are you .. Anne What are you doing in my house unannounced?” Karl spoke d
Anne wasn’t supposed to get into this web…The McGorritth’s as a family had never been in this much turmoil. King’s heart was in his mouth. Lana was still very much scared of the current happenings. Starry was doing all he could to shield the family’s company from falling into a ruin. With the back to back attacks on King and his wife, everyone in the family had been extremely careful. King suspected that Stephanie was definateky behind the motorcycle threats on Laura.They were due for a family meeting!When Greg had heard of what happened to Laura. His immediate response was “She should be dead instead..” that had got King furious. Both brothers still had the score to settle. King was still yet to forgive him on what he did to Laura. They could have lost their baby! Greg the mistake of a brother was busy pulling all strings to end his father’s life. And then there was Anne. The prodigal sister.Anne McGorritth, against King’s warnings for her to be extra careful. She was indiffer
Back in the rest room, Maddie was trying to calm down an inconsolable Laura. Not only had Stephanie left her stunned, but the talk about sending a message? What message?Why exactly was she there. “Madds you needed to see the smug look on her face!” Laura exclaimed as she adjusted herself to step out. Maddie first replied with a scoff. “I mean, I wouldn’t expect less from that cunning woman.” She hissed.“Uhhh.. wait.. do you think I should call King? Yes! I need to call him.” Laura bit her lips, staring back at her reflection in the mirror.“No lu… I think we should get you home this minute. “ Maddie gave a short laugh, dragging Laura by the arm. Laura protested for a second. When they had left the restroom, Maddie stopped and turned to her.“So,..” Maddie raised her brow, questioning Laura’s compliance.“Alright alright. Fine. Let me grab my bags.” Laura mumbled out her reply.But Maddie refused, telling her not to worry about it as she had already taken Laura’s things to the car
Laura’s heart dropped to her stomach.Why wouldn’t a day just go by without Laura encountering one ugly surprise or the other.Laura couldn’t stop herself from thinking about how the pregnancy looked so good on Stephanie. It was enviable! The way she carried herself. Almost unbelievable.“Lu?.. “ Maddie’s pinched Laura back to reality.“Hmmm..”What the hell was Stephanue doing in the cafe?! So comfortable. Balanced like she owned the place. Her dark shades in place. The bitch even bad guts to light up another cigarette. Laura wanted to drag her by her hair out of the cafe.Was she there to cause trouble? Who does she fucking thing she is?! Laura was biting on her cheeks rather too hard, still rooted in the spot. They were in a staring contest. But Stephanie was winning with the obvious smirk plastered on her face.“Laura!?..” Maddie pulled harder this time, shaking her out of her trance.“I think we should just ignore her Madds.. come on, let’s go.” Laura hissed, walking away in a h
