LAURA'S POV.The rest of the day ended more quickly than I had expected. I spent the entire day moving from class to class, checking through the halls, corridors, and different clubs, not knowing which to sign into.Yet the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't stop thinking of what had truly happened.Everyone wouldn't keep their gaze on me; they stated at me like I was some sort of cheap loser, and well, of course, it was mostly certain because they believed my mom to be nothing but a gold digger, and here I was, the shameless one without having anything to offer, do, or take other than attending the school my elder brother had been using to buy off and tease me about it.“Mam?” A voice called out, drawing me out of whatever thoughts I had that had been cooped up on my end. I sighed and rolled my eyes while sudden uneasiness washed through me.I swallowed hard before turning around, but no one seemed to be in the area other than me.“Are you talking to me?” I asked, and my in
Sebastian ’s point of view.I had not seen Chris at home, he probably went out and about, moving again when I had given him clear instructions to return home.“Where is Chris?” I asked a maid who was passing by.“He went out, said it was urgent.” The maid responded while I rolled my eyes, well of course it was always one thing or another with Chris, counting on him was as good as killing oneself.“And laura?” I asked to loosen the end of my tie.“She's up in her room, she has refused to come down for dinner and I think she is not doing so well.” The maid explained again, I nodded and gestured that she could leave.I had seen her new car in the driveway, she had been done with her classes for the day, but if anything at all I had expected that she would be full of energy rather than staying cooped up full of tears. .Slowly I placed gentle knocks on her door, I could hear entitled cries and sobs but she wasn't moving an inch either.Several other knocks and I pushed open the door only
NICKLOAI’s POINT OF VIEW.I was way too stunned to speak; my eyes remained glued against hers and for the first time in my entire life, I hesitated. It was a first for me. I was at a loss for words, uncertain of what to eat or think.I didn't know if this was the effect Laura had on me or the fact that I immediately became protective of Violet. I had an undeniable bond shared with Violet; I was in love with her, but she belonged to another, which meant I couldn't let her get into danger all because of me. And then it came down to Laura . I had been taught by my father to lie on the spot as quickly as I could; I had bravely been caught lying or cutting shots of words. This was one of the first lessons I took as a young master.“I'll take this your silence as you admit it. Do you have any idea what it is that you have done? She is the wife to your father's business partner, i may be new here but i had seen the man to dad and they were both visiting him, could you? She asked sternly i
LAURAS POV.I checked for the time twice in a row, yet nothing. I had been waiting for Helen for ages, she had asked to get my shoes since it's been twelve minutes past already."Well, you most certainly seem so excited about this ball of yours and stuff.” Out of the blue”Sebastian's voice rang through the air.I turned to see him leaning against the door, arms folded over his chest.“Oh, please go on; do not let me interrupt this charade; it is her you have going on.” He added pure sarcasm in his words. I stared at him blankly, moving my gaze towards him and away from him. At the same time, it did seem like he didn't quite understand the dire situation we were in at the moment. “What do you want, Sebastian?I think the orders are clear; there will be a party in about an hour and you aren't dressed yet.” I asked, tilting my head a bit, uncertain of how the entire royalty thing worked out. Was I dressed way too early? Perhaps it was my driven mind, determined to hunt down seraphin
LAURA'S POV.I pushed open my eyes; a night yawn eased through my lips while I rolled around in bed. My arms felt a bit cramped, but then it all came to me: memories of the previous occurrences I had been in the room with Sebastain; he was crying; I helped him into the bed when he fell asleep; but he has drawn me closer to him, faces inches apart.I recalled watching his face while he slept, his lips, the perfect shades of light pink, how moist they were. I remember trying to trace my fingers around it, but I couldn't. I was scared and worried to death. Whatever it was, I wanted it handled in the most proficient manner.What I don't remember was him walking out of bed or me falling asleep.“My lady.” I jolted up on hearing the voice; my heart hammered against my chest until I caught sight of Helen, who stood hovering around the bed. She had a stoic expression, and I could tell she wasn't pleased.“How long have you been waiting to scare the hell out of me?” I asked, still holding on
LAURA'S POV.“It seems you are off again.” I retorted, balling my hands and holding whatever it was that I felt at the moment. I was pained, angry, and restless. This was the same woman who wouldn't let me out of her sight when my father was still alive.The same woman who would wait by the doorstep for me all day of high school—the same woman who had given everything and anything up for me—a lot had changed.I stared at her, my eyes scanning through from the strand of her hair to her toes. I could not decipher what rammed through my mind; it bothered me seeing how quick she was to change her opinions and thoughts. I swallowed hard, reeling it in.Did I ever know her to begin with? I mean, I believed I did, but then some new man came out of nowhere. Of course, I had problems moving out of that hell hole of a town, but now that I think of it, I saw this new man of hers until we got to the hood. How long have they been having an affair-like sort of relationship?.How long had they bee
LAURA'S POV.“Are you sure you are fine?” Chris asked, and he gestured that I sat beside him. It was a not-alone moment given the fact that he had the same facial features as Sebastian but acted differently! More like a gentleman, I really couldn't place my finger on it, but it was safe to say I felt more reassured and relaxed with him around.“I'd rather stand; it's such a beautiful view up here.” I admitted, uncertain if I really wanted to stare out at the bye or just that I didn't trust myself well enough to sit by his side.I swallowed hard seeing how terrible his things became for me. Ans was quite embarrassed to find out that Chris might have overheard everything we said.“How much did you hear?” I asked him, a little smile serving as teasing. I hope to hear the answer I was so desperate for.“I heard a lot, mostly everything, and I was cool. I'm not pissed or anything. I decided to drop by and check on my new mother, but she appeared to be in a heated argument with her daughter
LAURA'S POV.“What's your idea of fun, Laura?" He asked, staring directly into my orbs."Oh, a bit!.” I added in, still confused with worry written all over my face. I had stayed up later than I expected.“You have never done anything quite fun before, have you?” He asked again, and I shook my head. He flashed me a bright smile before gesturing that I walk closer to him.“Well, good enough. Come in. Let's go. I wouldn't want to overwhelm you, so we'll go slow, okay?”“You are wearing this??” He asked the first words that eased up his lips as soon as his eyes landed on mine. I didn't have the fair choice of a wardrobe change. I had fallen asleep, and certainly he seemed like he was prepared to throw a fit if he had spent a single minute more in the room.“Yes, it's still neat. Just a little wrinkle." I lied, knowing so well that I had been in it all day.“Let's get you fixed; I can't let you think you're this when coming along with me.” He explains, and my eyes grow up, knowing he was
Sebastian 'S POV.“Are you happy with me, laura ?" I asked out of the blue as soon as she walked out if the bathroom was dabbing her hair with a towel. She tilted her head slowly, her eyes pinned in my direction, probably losing sight of words.“What... what do you mean?” She asked again while pulling closer to me. Her head rested against my chest while a smile pushed up to her lips.“The wedding, being my bride staying with me, are you happy about all of this or are you staying with me because of the baby?” I asked her, putting out my worry and, truth be told, signing the marriage papers with her as we stood on the podium. I was worked up, and hearing the judge call us husband and wife had worried me a whole lot, but I knew it was probably tension of being! arrived again after so many years.Yet there she was, beaming with smiles all through, not for a bit showing any form of panic.I didn't want to let my words or thoughts get to the best of me, and I could not help but unwind my he
CatherineI couldn't understand where the problem came from! The week ran by real fast for Chris and me, but I realized two nights ago he had gotten a call from Matt, which made him really screwed up.Matt and I weren't on the worst ends ever, truth be told, although it did bother me seeing how things wound up. I didn't like his gloomy vibe.I dabbed my hair with a towel continuously before getting closer to him. For a kiss, he pulled away from a frown on his face.“Not now, Catherine ." He uttered a stoic expression. On his face, so far he wanted to have fun. I shrugged my shoulders before pulling myself into my flip-flops.“Suit yourself.” I responded before dragging my feet grudgingly towards the waiting room.I picked up my phone and surfed through my messages terribly bored.Glancing behind me carefully, sure that Chris ’ was not around, I surfed deeper into my phone, going through my private chats on Snapchat.Everyone else had texted me, some bunch of DMS, some other thirst
Catherine 's point of viewA yawn eased through my lips while I rolled through to the other end of the bed. My hands tapped slowly against the body, just like they had usually done.But there was nothing there.I parted my eyes and brows hastily, and the first thing my eyes landed on was the huge mirror.Right across the room, my very own reflection mocks me. I looked like a mess.A sigh eased through my lips while I pushed further away from the bed ; I wasn't getting it. What could possibly be wrong such as that Henry didn't sleep home the previous night.On my first attempt at trying to collect the memories of the previous occurrences, but then I felt an insane urge to retch, I picked my head towards. While I spilled out all the contents in my belly, retching terribly, I turned on the tap in the sink to have my face wiped. And then it dawned on me...“Matt!” I blurted out all at once, darted towards the door, and I dashed out of the room. My eyes scanned through the environme
Catherine 's POV.I turned on the tap in the sink, sure to have satisfying noises like puking and gagging coming out loud from the bathroom. A sly smile pushed up my lips while I washed off my face and began to pant hard and breath heavily. I drew closer towards him right outside the door with shaky feet.“Can you please help me get a room? I don't feel too good. I need to rest.” I muttered beneath my breath; my voice was shaky and my tone was thinning out at the end, all in an attempt to convince him.He looked just like he had bought my entire act, judging from the worried look in his eyes.“How about I drive you home instead? You can pick up the car later tomorrow. He offered just like I expected, but I wasn't stupid enough when planning ahead to use the rain as some dumb excuse.“Henry , he's out. He went off. I don't know why , who, or where he went off to or is off to see and staying home alone won't do me any good; perhaps you could wait for a few minutes; when as soon as the
CLAIRE's POV.A knock settled on my door and a frown was quick to etch onto my face while I pondered hard and fast about who it could be, I had been tucked up in the fucking room doing nothing at all along, every damn day it was the same.The knock became persistent, and I pushed my feet reluctantly towards the dash cam. I had not been expecting anyone's texts or calls; or bits so far, I wasn't involved in the neighborhood or building as a whole; it was something that anyone had to do or say but not from my end. Besides, I had no friends, and no one knew I moved here except……“Henry ?” I asked while I pushed open the door.. He seemed to be pissed and restless while he pushed himself right through my door before settling into the couch.He had said nothing while I bolted the door locked, my eyes scanning across the room, which was in a terrible state.. I had not expected any visitor to come in by any means. I was not informed.“You didn't call..” I stuttered, seemingly surprised..
Laura's pov.I could see him avert his gaze away from mine as soon as our eyes locked, for some reason an unsettling feeling got stuck at the pit of my belly and it made me wonder how and why I was stuck up on things like this. Was he still being a cry baby because I solely refused to eat with him in public at the company?.“Good morning sebastian .” I greeted as soon as he made way towards the elevator and I followed behind him, he had said nothing even when I smiled from ear to ear,I knew I should not have requested things that made him feel petty and yes, I was terrible at explaining feelings, I could have just told him I was never good with taking things from people without doing anything for them in return, but then again, I should never run my opinions against anyone else.I swallowed hard, wallowed in my own self pity as I recalled how hard it was for me to sleep last night, been in a strange house really did take it's roll on me, Emily and I had barely gotten chance to talk,
laura s point of viewI shifted in my seat, my eyes pinned against the file placed in front of me, while I stuck up the ends of the pen into my teeth. I had been pondering the whole day on how to thank Sebastian ; he had been nice enough, and I had sent him off in a rather hasty manner the previous day, which probably registered me as nothing better than a weirdo to the public as a whole, although I knew I needed to make certain amendments.“laura ?.” a voice called, drawing me out of whatever fancy land I had been drawn into.“Yes, how may I help you, please?. '' he asked with a smile settled on my face as I responded to the young man who stood before me. He worked with Sebastian , so I knew almost immediately that it was related to him already.“Mr. Sebastian had asked for you, so I think it's in your best interest that you check with him right now; it seemed urgent.” He added at the end of his words and turned down his feet even before I got a chance to respond.I stood to my fee
laura 's point of view It's been four weeks already, Four weeks after Sebastian had asked me out , four weeks of pure Bliss and happiness he loved me just as much as I loved him. We both had no intention of putting a leash on our emotions. “What do you think?.” I asked and swirled right in front of him, he looked rather exhausted but I wasn't done. “this is the one, it looks perfect I mean, it's the best it brings out your eyes and all.” he complemented with a smile, I turned my gaze from the mirror and glanced at him, slowly I approached him. “My eyes are blue, this dress is green, it does not bring out my eye color Sebastian , I told you to pay more attention to the color stripes, the design of the folds and curves of the dress.” I complained. A giggle came on from the other end, I glanced up and several workers scurried away in haste as they realized I caught them off guard. “Are we not done yet?.” Sebastian asked lazily but I rolled my eyes in my head , drew cl
“Get away from me, you creep!” Emily screamed as soon as she pushed her eyes open. A sudden heavy migraine attacked her as soon as she had spoken, and just then did she realize how much alcohol she had drank the previous night. Dustin, on the other hand, split his eyes slowly, rubbing slowly on his orbs, trying to recall the compelling situation he found himself in. He recalled drinking a little the previous night, and then the new cycle followed up; they had a few more drinks with laura , yet as soon as laura made her way out of the house, she realized what a great deal of fun they were having and then drank some more. Then, after three asn, he had not stopped. He won't necessarily be expected in the office. Although he knows things might get awkward between him and laura , which is why he lied about having a thing or two to do, I was hoping that eventually, if she came to push, the entire thing would be off their shoulders. He took a quick glance around, his mind laced wi
