“The property listings and the property valuation on this presentation doesn’t align. How on earth am I to go into that meeting and present all these? Coupled with the abstract project development plans! ” King complained to a panicking Brian as they went over the deliverables to be discussed at the meeting. Brian loosened his tie for the umpteenth time that afternoon before coming up with a reply “Well technically you’re not the one doing the presentation. Didn’t you say Laura agreed to what ever stupid idea you proposed to her?” “And where is the Laura? I doubt she would be coming. Look, it’s past 2pm already! The investors and other delegates are already getting seated in the board room. I guess I’ll have to handle all this myself.” The day had gone faster than King had expected. And far worse than he imagined. Living life without a secretary or a personal assistant wasn’t ideal for him in any way. “Don’t you have her number? You can call you know? Check if all is alright w
PRESENT DAY… Life sure has a way of keeping someone in check, this time around Laura had been less and less of herself lately. With Dave opening up about his battling cancer, it felt as though everything about her life was falling apart. She along with her elder sister— Storm— grew up with Dave and Maddie here in New York City, for years before Storm passed away tragically when they were still in high school after a scandalous event. As years passed, Laura becsme less of herself and just lived for each day. She seemed to be okay with her boring lifestyle. But until recently—when she started working for King— Laura began to crave for a change. Still very much confused on the next step to take, now it feels as though her life isn’t hers. Laura would do anything to make the people around her feel okay. Even if it means sacrificing her own happiness. It had been three whole days since the event at the hospital and she’s yet to hear from King. Her mind kept repaying all the things
The previous night ended quite surprisingly for Laura. Narrating her ordeal to Maddie and Dave she got to find out that they knew all what he had to say since he had already been to the house earlier on. And what got her pondering right now as she stood in front of King's gigantic gate was the fact that her uncle seemed to be in the know of whatever he wanted to discuss with her.When she had probed further all Dave could offer was a laugh and a shrug saying he was not in the position to reveal.Checking her phone to see the time is just two minutes past 4pm. Laura breathed out a huge sigh. She knew what his days were like and she decided to come at a time when she guessed he would be back home resting.With a pounding heart and her short yellow stripped sunflower dress she pressed the buzzer. Announcing her arrival.After passing through the gate and nervously greeting Alex and Andre by the way, she got to the front door. And before she could say jack, King opened the door for her to
King sat on his kingsized bed with his hands clutching his head after he picked up his phone to answer a call from his sister-Anne- who had been calling all morning to tell him she was waiting for him at his office. Why won't she just come over to the mansion? He hated when she acted like this. Although all their lives she always had a closer relationship with him than their elder brother Greg. King had always indulged her out of the fondness he will continue to have for her.He had intentionally kept his phone on silent before going to sleep after returning from the club knocked out, as he had planned to sleep throughout the morning. Knowing he would be waking up with banging migraines. Right now he wasn't thinking properly as all he could think of was hearing from Laura concerning the proposal.After she left he worriedly decided to go to the club-to clear his head- and ended up 'accidentally' hooking up with this blonde girl, in his defense she had mesmerizing features like Laura
Yes, Dave was in support of the marriage idea but he wasn’t sure if that what was Laura would want for herself. She was still having a hard time discovering her self, and at this age with not much exposure? Could she handle such commitment?. The clouds are barely out. With Laura lying on her bed and Dave sitting by her side they have a mind rapport over her new reality.“Are you really going to go through with it? I know you to be a lover girl, would you really forfeit the prospect of ever being loved? Just because you got pregnant for your boss?” Dave worried.“ I could always leave after having the baby. It’s no big deal Dad, we can make this work.” Taking his hands and offering him a cheeky smile she replied reassuringly for the zillionth time that morning.Call me delusional but I’m going to make him fall for me! “I’m not in support of you leaving! Don’t talk about that. Can’t you see how my marriage ended with Maddie’s mum? She left me for someone else in the most shocking way.
“I can’t see properly!!! Turn the phone to the right.. yes.. no, higher!” Maddie screamed over the phone as she admired Laura’s look for the night. “I think this is too much Madds. I look so different. I love it though.. but..” Laura frowned, taking in her long embroidered emerald green silk gown having an alter neck cut, cupping her full breasts perfectly. With it’s high split showing off her thighs. Star had worked wonders on her hair, kept in a luxury looking messy bun and a short scanty fringe to compliment. “Lu my sugar honey pot ant, you will do well to behave yourself the whole night and keep me updated all through!” “I need to live voraciously through you.” Maddie replied. Laura stood and walked over to her window like she had been doing for the past one hour to check for any signs of King “I don’t know about that. It’s past 6pm already and he’s still not here.” She sighed. Well he did say he’ll be a little late. “Do you want to try calling him?” Maddie asked flatly. “I’
King was appalled by his sister’s frigid behavior towards Laura. He was ready to have her dealt with immediately but it was her event.“Anne do you have a problem with the fact that she was my housekeeper?” Seething, he questioned.“Or the fact that she’s carrying my child.” He added, knowing that information alone would get his sister sobered up.On hearing that, Anne’s jaw dropped as recognition dawned on her face. Everyone in the family was well aware of Kings predicament after he lost his girlfriend years ago. Anne immediately lost all veins of anger and stared at Laura with apologetic eyes.“I had no idea.” Anne mumbled.Stacey on the other end wasn’t liking the shift. She stood beside Anne, outraged as she cleared her throat trying to get them back on track. But Anne wasn’t bulging.“Once again, meet my girlfriend and the mother to my unborn child. Laura Ferguson. In case you were wondering, yes we are very much in love ” King stated, addressing both Stacey and his sister. Holdi
The night was going perfectly fine to some extent until King laid his eyes on Karl. The damn twat!Laura still pretty much confused on what was happening she followed King’s trail of sight and saw Karl talking intimately with Anne, his sister. She wondered what on hate the dislike towards him might be about. King excused himself from Laura and walked over to confront Karl and his sister. But he didn’t quite just confront, king took long strides and immediately he was at a close distance he threw a punch to Karl’s smirking face. Surprising everyone. Including Anne who was too stunned. Although she knew her brother’s indifferent stance on Karl, she didn’t just expect him to go that far. Mean while, Laura rushed to where the incident had happened but before could do anything, Lana pulled her aside.“Don’t bother. Just let him be.” Lana warned softly.King didn’t even wait for Karl to recover from the first punch, he threw another one which had him stumbling over the chairs around.“Wh
Investigations were still on going. Both couples were still shaken up a bit, but had themselves together. The pregnancy has stood the test of time. Will their love also survive the challenges?King on the other hand was thinking of accelerating the plans of bringing Laura officially in as the vice chair of the company. He was still yet to say a word. With all the events happening at the same time. He needed to settle them one at a time. For now. Her health was paramount, today was her first visit to the hospital after the attack two days ago. He wasn’t going with her but Andre would be taking her to the hospital instead. Just this morning her driver—David— had received an emergency call from his mom that his dad had a cardiac arrest in the early hours of the previous morning so he had to take an urgent leave of absence.King was set to leave the house headed first to the police station, then to work. Unfortunately, the third man who had escaped that night was still yet to be found a
The time was at exactly 9pm.King went along with the two bottles of water in the car as they moved towards the bush.After Laura had finished relieving herself, King helped wash her face and assisted with bringing her breathing back to normal.Two lovers.“I’m sorry baby.. I’m so sorry you feel so distressed. I should have never agreed for you to come with me.” He pulled her into a hug, gently rubbing her back.Laura still felt like throwing up. Hell! She felt like dying. Her legs were weak as it was and she just wanted to lie down. There was not even a single appetite to eat. And she needed to eat to take her night drugs.“I Uhmmm.. “ she immediately stopped herself from talking and moved away from King to throw up.“Babe..?” He worriedly called out.King helped her again get herself. When he was sure she was feeling better, they headed back to the car. Thankfully, Andre was already there waiting for them.Andre rushed to meet them with speed, worry etched on his face. “I was about
A day couldn’t have been so unpredictable. Laura thought to herself as she stood on the balcony of one of Oliver’s guest room upstairs. She had woken up from her sleep about an hour ago, but King was yet to be back. She kept looking out from the balcony. Hoping nothing had gone wrong.The view from the balcony that evening was so beautiful. The sun was setting. Cars were getting fewer on the streets. The street had a magnificent flowery arrangement. They even had their own security. Laura wondered how the goons were able to sneak their way in. It was already past 7pm and he was yet to be back. Neither him nor Andre were picking their calls again. If not that she and King has spoken several times during the day, she would have been extremely worried. King had her in mind the whole day, even though he wasn’t quite updating her on his and Greg’s movement, he made sure to pick all her calls and let her know he was fine. Just that, since when she woke up and have been calling he hadn’t a
King had suggested that Andre took a different and faster route, and since it was still early hours of the morning, they were able to leave upper east side Manhattan and got to Williamsburg— Brooklyn— in about fourth minutes. They were currently on the street leading to Oliver’s house. Andre had gone in an unsuspecting speed, but was still careful since Laura was with them in the car. King has sat with her st the back. Luckily for her, she was able to fall asleep on him.He was more than relieved.Before they left, he had called Brian and briefed him of the unfortunate happenings. And also to inform him that he wouldn’t he in the office that day. He also called to inform Maddie and Dave. As expected, Dave had a problem with Laura accompany him. But Laura wouldn’t hear any of it.The plan was to get to the house, check on his mum and follow up with the current situation, then strategize with Greg on how to end the ‘Allen problem’ once and for all. It’s obvious that being in a correct
Lovers falling asleep on each other remains top tier romance— king thought to himself as he stared down at his beautiful baby girl. It was about 4:45am, just fifteen minutes left for King to wake up and officially begin his day. He woke up by 5am regularly, being the busy man that he was he couldn’t afford to joke with his carefully scheduled timing. Laura had been tossing uncomfortably on the bed, throughout the night, she barely slept— They barely slept— King had wanted to wait till morning so they could go to the hospital, but Laura declined saying she was just feeling weird for the time been. King did not buy that. He still had the intentions of taking her to the hospital. “Babe? Laura? Are you okay?” King shook her a little, holding her in his arms. “Yh.. I just.. I think the room is really hot. Babe can you lay in bed longer? I won’t be able to sleep once I’m not on you.” Laura whined. The room wasn’t hot. King was cold and was practically freezing! This was the sam
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
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
“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 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
