Entangled with a Baby Chapter 1
“Mum, Starry meet my girlfriend.” King nervously introduced his mother and his grandfather to Laura as they entered the hospital room where she was admitted. Your girlfriend ??? Laura exclaimed inwardly. “Your girlfriend?” This time around it was the doctor shooting him a quizzical look. “I never knew you had a girlfriend. In fact you never mentioned.” Dr Narcos cheerily added. Laura’s whole head was spiraling out of control. This cannot be happening. Not with everyone here! He’s going to find out she was pregnant. laura thought. Few hours ago she was rushed into the hospital after she collapsed in his house, the doctor was about speaking to them as it seemed like there was a problem when King’s Mother and Grandad walked in. Apparently they were to come visit him that morning but since he called to say he was at the hospital for an emergency, they decided to meet him at the hospital instead. She hurriedly turned to look at her Uncle sitting by the side of her bed with a scow

“I’m getting rid of it.” Laura I announced as tears ran down her cheek. “We’ve been going over this for two hours Lu. Two whole hours!. Why won’t you just calm yourself down.” Her uncle exclaimed. “And the McGorritth I’ve known is responsible. He’s probably just having a hard time taking it all in.” He added in a bid to convince. Right. The onus is on you to defend him? laura scoffed internally. “Oh please! everyone knows about his promiscuous lifestyle. I can’t afford to complicate my life any further. I cannot have this child. I won’t. I don’t care what any of you have to say.” She protested. Ever since they got back from the hospital the previous day, Laura had been arguing upon getting rid of the pregnancy. All what her Uncle— Dave, her Friend— Lucia and her cousin Maddie were saying weren’t helping. “Lucia, say something. Talk to her. She’ll listen to you.” Exhausted from the whole back and forth Dave pleaded. “I honestly don’t understand why she is so adamant. Isn’t he the

RECAP FROM TWO WEEKS AGO… “The 30th of this month would make it the second year I’ve been working as your house keeper sir. Long story short, I wish to ask for an increase in my salary.” Taking a deep breath. She Paused, said a little prayer and continued “with due respect I’ll also love to remind you for the umpteenth time, my name is Laura and not Miss Cotton. Sir.” Laura didn’t mind the stares as she walked off to the bus station— these Washington heights folks never mind their business— still practicing the salary increment pitch she hoped to deliver to her boss first thing that morning. With the sheet of paper in her left hand and her bag hanging over her right shoulder, she had been going over the pitch for the last fifteen minutes. Silently praying she doesn’t miss the M2 bus and this goddamn! sweat doesn’t ruin her shirt. What if he isn’t in a good mood today? Laura frowned at the thought. Not like she was scared of him— at least that’s what she chose to let her 23 year

“Did you say something?” He rested his two hands on his hips as he turned fully to face Laura. “Miss cotton? Did you say something” he asked again, this time much more demanding. Fiddling with her shirt, looking everywhere but at him hoping she was the only one hearing her heart pound this hard—this shit better not rip out. She tried coming up with a decent excuse but he beat her to it. “I believe you said nothing.” he stated, matter of factly. Daring her to say otherwise. He smells nice too. Damn! Laura thought. She nodded in agreement. Briefly meeting his gaze before angling her head to look at the secretary who was now dialing something on her phone and struggling to get into her dress. Still mumbling incoherent words, Stephanie glanced at Laura with a bemused look as she headed for the door. Ready to drop a whole trailer load of bullshit before Mr. McGorritth stopped her. “The door. Stephanie.” He seethed through clenched teeth. “Fine. I’m leaving. But don’t call me. I pr

You know what they say about practice makes perfect. Well, Laura had been standing in front of her dresser with just her yellow lace pant and bra going over her salary increment pitch again. “Okay the 10th time is the charm” she breathed out—that’s what you said ten minutes ago going over the third time. Knock knock. Knock— “lu ohhh I’m sorry…” Throwing her hands in the air “Dad!! You need to knock. And even at that. You need to wait for the magic word!” “I’m sorry miss. I was just checking to see if you were ready. I’m making coffee and pancakes, would you like to have any before leaving?” Trying to stifle his laugh he called out to her again. “Laura?” “Yes. Yes dad. I’ll be down in five.” Few minutes later she was sitting on the kitchen stool stuffing her mouth with the pancakes. Every morning she either had a rough start or an eventful one. But thanks to her old man and Maddie who still tried to get her motivated for the day. “So you were saying?” Downing her last

The thing with being extremely wealthy is that everyone wants to have something to say about you. It seems as if their two cents matter —well public opinion does matter in the grand scheme of things— but this generation has made it an unwritten rule to always have their eyes on the rich. It’s an obsession people these days use in order to get through their shitty lives. An evasive obsession. Art of escapism? “Mum did you call me this morning because of the loads of nonsense these tabloids have to say about me?” King spoke with a glint of unbelief in his voice. There’s a lot of smoke in the air and every where seemed to be in a frenzied state right now.

“Maddie!! I can’t find it. I can’t find it. I have almost turned the whole room up side down.” Laura sobs into her phone half yelling and panicking “Look Lu, you need to calm down. It’s just a ring. He won’t even notice, and didn’t you say he told you his guests would be arriving anytime soon? You need to leave the house.” Pacing round the room she replied “Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.

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

It was a message from King asking her if she was done yet.Did Maddie call him?Laura was so lost in thought. She didn’t know what to reply him. She didn’t want to lie either.She wasn’t capable of lying to King.“Anything the matter..” Matthew had jerked her out of her thoughts.“Yhhh..uhh..

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.
