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
I cannot loose her. Not again.The mixed feelings going through King at the moment took him back to the night five years ago when the love of his love had died in a car accident. It left him shattered and he most certainly doesn’t want to go down that path ever.She was immediately rushed to the hospital and fortunately it wasn’t too late. He had stayed by her side all night. And right now she was sleeping, he decided to step out to smoke. He made a pact with himself long time ago never to smoke or drink again but with event of things these days he was screwed up mentally.Initially he didn’t want to pick up the smoke, but after getting a call from Starry early hours of that morning telling him that his had had gone beserk again in jail and was asking for him. If he did not go to see his father any time soon, the old man might be sending another ‘message’. King’s was skeptical getting Laura involved in the darkness of his life.But she was carrying his child! He contended with himself
The day was almost over, evening was fast upon them. Lucia had left few minutes ago with Estelle so she can go pick up her little boy Chris. King had gone to have a chat with the new Dr. Liam and at the moment, in the hospital ward Laura alone with her uncle Dave. Laura laid on her uncle’s lap as she kep thinking of King was the mastermind behind Dr.Hakeem’s dilemma.—There really is a lot about him I don’t know— She considered confronting him about her thoughts. But at the end decided against it. King could lie or deny it for all she cares. But then again, he could have done it because he had her in mind. She reflected on the possible scenarios surrounding it all. Would she continue like this forever as his wife without being able to easily express herself to him? “Dad?” “Yes honey.” Dave kissed her hair softly. While biting her lips and eyes shot tight she suddenly felt like a different wave of imposter syndrome had overtaken her. “I don’t want to do this anymore.” Laura blurted
“Did you see the number plates?” Detective Marshall asked King over the call.Sat in his car, panting with his head on the steering. King was still in shock.“Not at all. It happened so fast and to be honest, I was a bit tipsy.” He admitted.“And the car? Can you tell what type? You said the driver was a male. Any other thing you can remember?” “Nothing Marshal. Nothing. Just a letter the driver threw from the window.” King answered dulled.“We shouldn’t be doing this over the phone King. You need to head back home. We can talk when you’ve rested. Remember your fiancé is at your house and might be endangered too.” At the thought of Laura, King decided to head back home immediately. She would be getting worried as it was already past 8am, he had kept his phone silent all night.King had felt uneasy leaving Laura all alone, sick at his house. He knew that was one unforgivable action of his but it wasn’t like he didn’t care. Well, he was still trying to get used to the idea of making hi
Something still held her back..The day had dragged on. King refused to leave the house and Laura had beef avoiding him all day. She stuck herself in her room not wanting to come in contact with him. But from time to time, he cake to knock and check on her.Laura’s mind always raced whenever she heard his footsteps.They weren’t cool. But they were cool. The atmosphere between them was just tensed. It was already few minutes past 5pm, Laura was done with the chores she could think of doing. Although, King had instructed that she refrained from doing any work. She just didn’t want to stay idle. Now she was currently laying on her bed FaceTiming her cousin.“I’m so envious of you Lu. Damn! You have all of King’s attention to yourself.” Maddie beamed over the phone.“Did you hear anything I just said Madd?! He’s being a jerk! A big one at that.” Laura screamed, unable to fathom how her cousin thought her situation to be cute.“Come on Lu my darling! You said he comes to check up on you
Laura remembered sleeping off in his office but she had woken up in her bed. Well tucked in.She was able to finish the load of work and even went extra miles in identifying key areas that could optimize costs and profit for the company. The analysis and reviewing wasn't as easy as she thought. With McGorrith Glibal holdings being as big as they are the work was really tasking.But she did it!She was busying herself with other works on the system but in all truth, she was actually waiting for King to return. Even though he asked her not to. She just couldn't, she thought of someone to keep her company but Maddie was fast asleep-exhausted from the day's work- so she called Dave instead. They talked and talked all night, Dave was so proud of her for pulling such huge task off. What people were paid millions to do!Laura eventually fell asleep on his desk, but she had known when he came in. She wasn't fully awake. But she knew when he arrived. And it sounded like he came in with someone
"What the hell Maddie! You are late! Did you forget about me or what?" Laura boomed as she opened the door to welcome her cousin.Maddie entered with a wide smile, holding big nylon bags in her hands. "Hello to you too Lulu."Laura frowned at her, not wanting to dismiss her annoyance so quickly. Maddie knew the plan was for them to leave together before King got back from work. But yet she decided to come three minutes before King was to get back!"You can't possibly be serious Madds! Weren't you supposed to come whisk me away from here?""Oopssss my bad.. I think I forgot." Maddie grinned, pulling her into a hug."You smell so nice lu. And damnnnnn!!! This is a mansion's mansion!""Really?!" Laura hissed. Taking the bag from her. Maddie brought her hot soups to help with her recovery. And her stomach pains."Oh my God!!! Lu! You're going to be living here?! How many rooms are there?! I bet they're more than twenty six. Oouuuuu.. can you take me on a tour?!" Maddie was practically jum
Laura and king are seated in the dining area having breakfast as he was already prepared to head out."What time would you like to go see Dr. Liam today?" King asked."I should have made an appointment with him. But once I'm done exercising and doing my yoga sessions I would go to the hospital to see him."'Laura replied.She felt uncomfortable under his gaze."Would you like for me to come along with you?."She turned to face him shaking her head "No not at all, it's just a check up." Laura politely declined."You sure you'd be okay all by yourself!""Yes sure. I will. I also plan on complaining about my weakness to him. Those drugs he gave are having weird effect on me." She reasoned, dropping her fork on her plate."I'll have to call him then. But don't worry, Once Andre stops me off at the office, he'd come back to pick you." King offered as he finished his food.Checking the time on his watch, he realized he was running late for a board meeting. He quickly got up and wore his suit
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
