~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

~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

~Kurt~"Kurt, if you're reading this, then it means I'm no more. I only wanted you to see this after I'm... you know...gone. Anyways, I just want you to know that it's been a lovely roller coaster with you right from the very first moment we met in London and even till now. Remember, those words we said to each other when we were still very young and foolish? Isn't it so unreal that they all came to pass? You once told me I'd succumb to your charms and well...guess I wasn't strong enough to resist. You had me even from the very first day. I'm so sorry that we didn't get to fulfill some of those dreams we talked about. And I'm really sorry for what I did to our daughters. It's my fault they're this way and I'll never forgive myself for not making them get along even when I had millions of chances to. And I'm so sorry for leaving you like this. I know you're thinking I probably did this on purpose but I didn't...I was only bracing you for the worst. I knew you'd be shattered if anything

~Genevieve~"Damn, this food tastes so good," Dad complimented the food Mira prepared. It was delicious though but the last thing I would do was compliment her. "You should know..like..think about opening a restaurant sometime. You'll do good. Just like your grandma.""I'll think about it.""What about you, Gen? What are your thoughts on working for me as an interior designer? I could really use your skills, you know."I smiled. "Thanks... Dad. But I've thought about what I want do with my life. I heard a position as a design manager is opened in Hyde's Management, Mira?" I asked as she shockingly lifted her eyelids to meet mine."Why would want you come work with me?" "For mom. I'm only doing this for her." Partially, I was telling the truth. But ever since Ryder returned to town, I've been having sleepless nights, unable to stop thinking about him. I guess Mira didn't know he was my ex otherwise, she would have figured out my intentions by now. I couldn't stop thinking about him an

~Laurel~From where I sat next to my daughter, my princess, I could see her father staring at me. Was he really staring at me like that because of our connection or because of the mask of the outer person I was wearing?"So you're Don Luciano's woman?"I nodded. "I don't see any reason why a woman with a man would be ogling another man unless she has a thing for him.""Excuse me?""My dad," she sipped her drink slowly as she studied me. "You've been staring at him for minutes now."How on Earth did she....?She was my daughter after all. I rolled my eyes and it landed on Kurt again.... Kurt and another woman. All of a sudden, something stirred up in me.Jealousy.I couldn't bear the thought of him with another woman. We may have been apart for years now but nothing has changed. My feelings for him were only growing stronger. If only I could tell him the truth but I couldn't.I can but I couldn't."Quit trying," she interrupted my thoughts."What?""He doesn't think of anyone except h

Laurel"You had a good night rest, I suppose?" Luciano asked me the moment I came down to the dining room.Ignoring him, I slipped on a dining chair as the maids served breakfast. "I asked you a question, Angelo."I ignored him again but this time he didn't hold back. He pushed back and grabbed my arm. I cried out in pain."Answer the fucking question, muneca.""I didn't! Okay, I didn't! " He let go of my arm as a devilish smirk formed on his lips. "You bastard.""I don't know why you keep pushing me to my edges when at the end of the day, you'd still do what I ask of you.""It is because I want you to do your worse, how about that?"He scoffed as he ate."I want to see him. Now.""Not possible.""I don't even know why I'd have to see permission from you before seeing my own son but I want to see him. Now and I insist.""You'll only see him after you've gotten rid of that attitude of yours.""I insist, Luciano. Now."He threw his fork on the table and lowered his deadly gaze to mine.

~Genevieve~"Hyde's Management have been doing extremely well lately. Do you think it is because of Laurel Hyde's twin daughters who recently stepped in to pick up from where their mother left off? Probably because of Mirabelle Kenton? And why isn't any of the twins working for KGroup? Could it be a beef with their father or something else? Stay tuned as we deliver mind blowing updates about one of the richest and most family in the whole world. Tune up to our----"Off."Mind blowing updates?" They sounded too funny that it was disgusting. "Give me a break please." I scoffed and continued with my work. "By the way, do you find any of the designs interesting?" I asked Mason, a member of my team and the assistant financial secretary of the carat department."Yeah," he pointed to one of the sketches I had made on my paperwork. "These are champagne pink designs and their types are very rare. Do you think you'd top the rank with this?"I positioned back on my chair and chewed on my pencil.

*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
