~Laurel~"Thank you." I said to the waiter as I collected a champagne flute from the tray of drinks. I sipped my drink, while watching Kurt introduce our daughters to his associates and friends."Laurel Hyde, isn't it?" Two blond women appeared from nowhere and smiled at me."Yes, how may I help you?""Is it true that you sent your own daughter to jail?" The shorter one of the women asked.I nearly spilled my drink. "What?""Don't deny it. You hate her, don't you? Everything you've been doing has been one silly hell of a show, hasn't it?" The taller one shot back with a devious look. "Just take a look at yourself. You're a green snake under the green grass, you're not even happy with your husband, are you?""Excuse you?" Genevieve interrupted, standing in front of me to face to face the blonds. "And how dare you that you can speak to my mother like that? My mother loves me dearly. Everything she's done, she did all for their own specific reasons. Who the hell are you to judge? You're

~Laurel~"Gen, please bring Laurel's purse from the car."Quickly, Gen rushed down and moved to the boot area. "Yes sir."I halted to stare at the mansion. This place had been my home for five years. Returning here after what happened between Kurt and I...makes it seem more harder to want to step into it. Particularly, our room. The room I had planned on burning down."Laurel, come on." Kurt wrapped an arm around me as we stepped into the mansion together. The lines of servants standing to greet us were unending. I didn't even think we had this much servants because you wouldn't see them swimming around the house unless you need them.The first thing to escape my lips was a gasp when I entered our room. Wow, was all I could say. Kurt had changed our room and turned it into our own little paradise. White was the warm colour that filled the entire room. I didn't even know what to say. All I could think but not muster was that there was no man like Kurt Kenton. Absolutely, no man. He was

~Laurel~"Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness, Laurel, I am so so sorry." I lifted my leg on my desk and frowned at her. "You know you're a freak, right?""Look, I...I didn't even take note. Guess I didn't observe long enough." She said stalking toward my desk. "But isn't there supposed to be a bump as it is four months old?""Well, there is. Tucked under my blouse in a way you or any other person wouldn't notice.""Wow." She pulled a chair in front of me and plopped down on it. "This is great news, Laurel. I mean..how did Kurt react?"I stilled and thought about the look on Kurt's face at the hospital when he found out I was pregnant. "He was so... happy. I haven't seen him as much as he was that day. Lavinia, I... I think this baby really means a lot to his father...and I'm so happy I'm getting to experience this.""How's the morning sickness holding up?""It'll do just fine. With Kurt around, I think it's getting easier to manage.""So that's the reason why he assigned those two huge l

~Laurel~With a smile, I lowered my sunglasses as I watched as Kurt stalked toward me with his surfing board. With his hair dripping wet, his hot body on display and that gorgeous sun-kissed skin, he looked good enough to eat. Mine. All mine. When he got to where I sat, he dropped his board, picked me up from the ground like I weighed nothing and planted a kiss on my lips."I miss catching waves with you." I admitted softly when we pulled away from the kiss.He kissed my forehead. "You will again. Very soon."What if I told you that I won't be around for that 'very soon'?"Come on," still carrying me, he quickly swapped my weight to his back. "it's almost lunch time. Hey buddy, what do you want for lunch?""I think he wants something smouldering for lunch."He chuckled. "Buddy, is that true?""Yes, daddy." I mimicked a tone.He laughed.Giggling excitedly, I wrapped around his neck from behind. "You're going to break your back if you keep on carrying me like this.""That's impossible

~Laurel~"Hey."Happiness bubbled in me when I saw my best friend. "Wesley." I got up and threw my arms around him, tears filling my eyes all of a sudden."How's little man this morning?" He asked with a smile, putting his hand on my stomach."Active. How's Katy and the kids?" I asked him when he rose up and helped me onto a couch."They're fine. Kara's mad at me. She wanted to see you but I didn't let her because she had to go to school."I smiled, imagining the voice of Wesley's cute little girl. "You should next time. How was your trip?""Exhausting, but I survived. I noticed they're extra goons everywhere. And you, you're barely left alone. How are you coping with that?"I sighed, raking a hand through my hair. "I can't breathe. Kurt's scared. He doesn't want anything bad to happen to me and our kids.""He told me what happened. Laurel, he loves you. He's only looking at for you. Protecting you.""I know but this is so....extra!" I got up. "Wesley, he should know that no matter wh

~Laurel~"Mother!" Mira quickly ran up to me when I got down from the car. She pulled me into a hug and sighed. "You're okay.""I am." I replied as we pulled away, my eyes meeting with Gen's next."Where did he take you? What happened out there? How come you look so...happy?" Her eyebrows cocked up as she studied me."I'm fine now. And that's all that matters."Just then, Kurt got out, without paying attention to the girls, his eyes met mine. "I'll go ahead now."I smiled and nodded.With that he walked away."Okay, something's definitely wrong here. Mom, what's going on?" Mira asked as I handed my stuffs over to Camilla. "Why was dad so furious earlier? And why is he so cool now? What's up?""Couple's issue. None of your concern." I smiled at her as I started for the door. "Is dinner served? I'm so hungry, I feel like I could eat a whole chicken.""Dinner's ready." Eve replied as she accompanied me inside.~Kurt didn't come down for dinner. About an hour later, I thought of taking f
In love with a heartless billionaire ~84~
~Laurel~The moment our car stopped, Mira got down and stormed off in tears. We had been arguing for the past two hours but it didn't help. It only made matters worse. I didn't know if leaving permanently was actually the right thing to do anymore. But what about giving up your child? Is that right thing? Murdering an innocent baby that has managed to change your life for the better?No, that couldn't be right either. Then maybe, I should take my chances with Alanis. He had promised to save my life and Kurt had when made sacrifices for it so it would be completely heartless for me to ignore the sacrifices he had made for me. You'd get the chance to see your baby and watch him grow.Yes, yes, I would.About an hour later, I was gazing outside my window, a glass of whiskey by my side and a packet of cigarette on the other. I knew this wouldn't help but I had no choice. And in situations like this, drinking and smoking were my only options."Do you know you're putting the baby's health

~Laurel~"Enjoying the view?""No?" When I made a face, she laughed. "Just kidding, it's an amazing view." Give it to Genevieve who always makes a joke out of everything. Even when she's angry or upset."Gen I....""I don't wanna talk about it. Just leave me alone."I moved closer to her and slowly placed a hand on her shoulder. "Says the person who's always there for me during my lonely times." When I realized she didn't make a move to retaliate, I removed my hand and leaned on the railing beside her. "You know someone once said that one shouldn't be left alone for too long..""Guessed that same person said loneliness helps clear thoughts too.""Gen.....I don't know how to put it but...""Mirabelle is your sister and she never took anything away from you. Isn't that what you want to say?"Okay. She's a smart one. "Yes but....""that isn't the way I wanted to put it. Isn't that what you also wanted to say?""Good heavens. You and your father are the exactly the same."She huffed. "I a

*One year later*~Genevieve~"Hey. You ready?"Mason asked me as he walked into the room."Do I look okay in this dress?" I said, referring to the floral gown I was wearing. "I feel... really heavy, you know. I think this baby is using my energy to do kicks, don't you think?" I asked him, placing my hand over my eight months and two weeks old belly.Mason smiled and walked over to me. "You look beautiful, darling. And besides, I'm always here to lend you my strength whenever you feel too tired to carry our little Gael." He knelt before my bump and caressed it over the skimpy dress I was wearing. "Hey buddy, don't give mommy a hard time, okay? We know you wanna come out so badly but patience, little buddy, patience." He looked up at me and I smiled. Then he got up and closed his mouth over mine. "I love you, Genevieve Kenton King."I smiled as I wrapped my arms around him. "I love you too.""Now come on. Before we arrive late for your dad's birthday dinner." He held my hand as walked o

~Genevieve~Just like that. I couldn't believe it. She was gone.Gone forever. We weren't going to see her ever again.Some of the soldiers that had ran into the smoke, came out few minutes later with Gonzalez men. One was half-dead, the other was injured but very much alive. They put them both in the van and walked around to see dad. He was saying something in low tune to dad when another set of military men walked out of the already burnt and collapsed building with a burnt, unrecognizable body that seemed to have ropes attached to it. A body that was perhaps tied. Then I recalled Mirabelle being tied up before Ryder threw me out."No! My Mira...." Mom was already shaking in tears as they placed the body on a stretcher. Dad dropped to the ground in tears, mom was wailing profusely, Mariano remained stiff and unable to move, Mason had tears rolling down his eyes...none of us could even touch the body. It was Natasha who mustered up the courage to run to where the body was and embrace

~Mirabelle~"What are we going to do? He's going to kill her!" Mason exclaimed out of frustration as he plopped down on the couch, running his fingers through his hair. Mom has been trying to calm him down ever since. But it seems all her words of assurance were falling on deaf ears."My men are searching the entire city as we speak." Dad who had been on the phone came back few minutes later to the living room and said. "They couldn't have gone far. We'll get them in no time.""Hey," Mariano knelt in front of me and places his hand on lap. "Are you alright?"I shook my head."Belle, listen to me, this is not your fault.."I was trying to hold back my tears. "Yes, it is.""No, it's not. Gonzalez has been planning his escape from prison for a long time now. And it so happened to fall on the same time period of your return so none of this is your fault, okay?""Grandpa, are you going to give me to him? The bad guy?" Natasha who was in mom's arms asked Kurt who had been restless."Of cour

~Mirabelle~"Mama, where are we? What is this place?" Natasha asked me as Mariano pulled the car to a stop. I got out and so did Natasha, who looked inquisitive, looking around the place."Hello, Natasha."She turned to stare at the people standing few metres away, her whole face lightening up. "Grandma! Grandpa!"In a blink of eye, she was running into dad's open arms. "My lil baby. She looks just you, Mariano." Dad said to Mariano who was standing beside me as he ruffled her hair playfully, picking her up from the floor."I'm quite heavy, you know. Mama feeds me with good stuff." Natasha said jokingly."Well then, it's a good thing I have quite the strength then." Dad smiled as we walked into the house."Camilla," I greeted Camilla who was standing with the other servants. "I see you're still here." I said, moving into her arms. "Thank you.""Always, Mirabelle, always." She responded and we pulled away. "I'll make coffee and some toast."I nodded and she walked away. "It feels good

~Genevieve~He wasn't in bed with me when I woke up.I got up, stretched and slipped on his shirt. Then I got up and went on a mission to go look for him.I heard noise coming from kitchen area and do I just decided to follow my instincts. To my surprise, he was standing in front of the cooker, flipping something in a pan, shirtless in an apron and in a pair of sweatpants. He turned around and our gaze met."Hey. Good morning."I smiled as I made my way toward him. "Good morning. You're up early.""Yeah, I got up to make breakfast. Come on, have a seat. Breakfast is ready."I did as he told me and sat put as he served me. Breakfast was bacon, scrambled eggs, pancakes and maple syrup.As I ate, I noticed he was stealing glances at me. "What?""You're very beautiful, Gen. Very very."I snorted, hoping that was a joke. "I'm sure I look like a mess.""You look breathtaking."I met his gaze and he smiled. Then he got up from where he sat and walked around to where I was, then to my surpris

~Mirabelle~A lot of people were hovering over me when I woke up. Mom, Mariano, two women, a man, Natasha...."Natasha." I called out gently and she was the first to notice as she ran into my outstretched arms."Mama! Mama, you scared the hell out of us all." She was already crying as I brushed the tears away from her face. "Mama, we were so worried...I was so worried. Promise that you won't ever make us worry like that again."I smiled and pulled her close, her head was resting gently on my chest. "I'm fine, sweetie. I'm just...scared." I admitted softly."But why are you scared, mama? We are here for you, remember? Don't be scared, okay? Daddy is here for you. I am here for you. Grandma is here for you. Don't ever feel scared, okay? You're my best friend. I wouldn't know what I'd do if anything were to happen to you. I can't ever live without you, mama."I couldn't help chuckling as I wrapped my arm tightly over her. "Oh my sweet little red haired baby. I love you so much my darling

~Mirabelle~I stood there and watched as Genevieve expressed how she felt about Mason to Ryder. Ryder on the other seemed to be furious but he looked as if he was holding back from lashing out all on his anger on Genevieve. The moment he walked out, I decided to stay for a while. This was bad. I should be with her right now. She had just made a life-changing decision that would probably require a shoulder to lean on and here I was, hiding behind the wall.All of a sudden, she stood up. She glanced at the mirror and then stopped. But just before she could turn around, a hand grasped mine, pulling me into the shadows."What on earth do you think you're doing?""Mariano, she's my sister. I should be in there with her right now. I should--""Then what's stopping you?"I stared into his eyes."Go on. Go to her. She's your sister, right? She needs you. You should be with her right now. So why are you here?""I--I don't think that's a very good idea. She's down right now, I can't afford to a

~Mirabelle~The congregation was filled to the brim. The people present were mostly friends, elites, actresses, musicians, business elites and government officials from all over the world. From where I was seated, I could see Mariano, my friends, Gabriel and even mom. Natasha and I were both at the back row. We didn't want to draw much attention so we just hid there.Then there was Ryder at the altar, waiting like the gentleman he was. Although, there was something about Ryder. Something off about him, he didn't seem quite the man for Genevieve anymore.And then, there was the bride. Walking towards the altar with dad's arm strapped to hers. On getting to the front row, she quickly hugged mom and Gabriel before proceeding to kneel in front of the altar with her soon to be husband. After a short prayer, they were back on their feet as they proceeded to the ring part and then the exchanging of vows.Well, now it was time to declare them husband and wife."If anyone have reason why these

~Mirabelle~I was trying out the dresses, mom had brought earlier for Gen's wedding tomorrow. There was a silver splayed gown with emeralds, a beautiful black straight one with deep cleavage curve and split up the right thigh and a pink short one with diamonds stashed all over. According to her, the theme of the wedding was black and pink, if I wanted to fit in to be noticed, I'd wear pink but if I wanted to remain anonymous and hidden, I'd wear black.At first I didn't want to go. Mom and Mariano were the only ones who knew about my existence. Mariano had argued with mom about telling dad about me but she had slid him off, telling him the consequences that would result from my dad abruptly finding out about my existence. According to her, she would wine and dine him after Gen's wedding then tell him about me. As for now, I still have to remain hidden and try as much as possible to apply heavy makeups contrary to my skin tone, wear sunglasses and colored wigs. That way, they would nev
