The celebration was to be held at the grand ballroom in the royal castle. Many types of dishes filled the reserved pots, trays and other vessels required for cooking. The cooks were doing a great job so far.The environment was busy and elegant. A few person's were still lingering close to the decorations trying to perfect them. Drops of flowers petals filled the altar, as directed by the queen. Laura was right about this been the greatest. It took some few minutes before the two groom, anticipately waiting.Meanwhile, the brides were in their own chambers preparing for their upcoming celebration. Laura stood close to them, the queen and two brides wouldn't have it any other way. She was closer to them than any other female specie.Laura sucked her mouth like candy as she stared at the two brides. She was battlin
*Laura's Pnt Of View*"W-What?" I stuttered and she sighed."This is your brother," she motioned to the little boy beside the man. The boy hopped happily to me. I was beyond shocked! I mean..what? What??"I don't...understand," I muttered and the man sighed. He walked closer to me and hugged me, followed by the little boy."I know but you will. We are so happy to see you." "Look if this is some joke, just end it," I blurted out and the woman looked down."It's not some joke, it is real," she smiled, something else glittered in her eyes."I don't believe you!" I responded codly and I looked away. I didn't want to see her face."Why?" The boy asked and I looked up to stare at him. So innocent!!"Because my mom is dead and my father standing right there," I pointed to Mr Howard."It's really rude to remind him of his wife and my mother's death," I listed."These are my siblings too" I gestured to them."
*Laura's Pnt Of View*I have been in the room, calculation the time ever since I woke up. It was the next day and I usually got breakfast by 10 am. I didn't touch the food that much but I hid the fork and the small knife in the bed. Thankfully, it was Cody who brought my food. I could tell that he was ashamed to face me.I was sure he wasn't staying at home today before of his father and his conversation yesternight. I already have somethings planned out. I am not going to be sulking and waiting for tomorrow. If Cody's father fall asleep or goes out, I'll sneek out. I have to try, I'll never give up.If he catches me, I'll bite off his arm and run as fast as I can. That's not an actual plan but it's something. Something I can manage..I suddenly heard heavy footsteps and I panicked a little. I quickly shoved the knife and fork under the bed. I'm not sure that I'll use them but I had to be prepared to defend myself.The door opened slowly and I rest
*Laura Pnt Of View*"What do you mean by that?" I asked as I shifted back."I love you, okay?" That was not bad at all! I'm been sarcastic. Why does everyone love me? Why am I complaining."I'm sorry but I don't feel the same way," I said calmly, thinking he would understand."I didn't ask you! I just want you to know," he said. "If we get married, I will help you out of here.""I'll find another way," I said and he smirked. "There's no other alternative and you have no choice." he stated as he slowly walked towards me.I shifted back, back and back till I was corned by a headboard. He leaned slowly towards me, his target my lips but we were fortunately interrupted by his father."What's going on here?" His voice echoed in the room and Cody straightened up."I was just telling her about my mother. Since she is going to be my step mom, I...." He croaked. Liar!Pretender!"I see and how did she take it," his fat
*Laura Pnt Of View*"I'm not your father. I never was," he replied casually. His legs crossed and he was relaxed."Then who is my--""You wouldn't know him. He is married to you mother and they live a bit far from here.""Didn't they look for me?" I asked surprised. I always wanted to meet my parents but now that I'm about to know them, I feel nothing!"I doubt that! They have another child. A boy!" That didn't break my heart at all. I'm serious.."Oh... But you said you loved her!" I said."I still do but she chose your father over m he shrugged. I'm glad she did."You too have many things in common, like--""My hair colour?" I asked and he nodded silently."Why are you being so nice?" I asked after the brief silence and he smiled."How do you expect me to behave?" He asked."I'm just why you are being nice to me. No biggy," I explained and he chuckled."You are just like her, even in your si
*Laura Point Of View*"I will leave you two to catch up," the man said and he left. Great! Cody's eyes flashed to me and I shifted back wards."Laura, I can explain..." He trailed off and huffed. He walked over to the bed and sat down."My father has been watching you since. I think he even planned for you to enter the orphanage. Immediately you did, he sent me there too. He was bent on getting to you. He made me do it and I agreed at first, but, when I got to know you, I regretted" he looked over to me."My father would have found another way to get to you if you didn't come here with..Gabriel," he spat out bitterly."What do you want?" I acted calmly but deep down I was heartbroken."I know that you won't believe me but I mean you no harm. I won't let him harm you," he assured."Thank you but I'm okay. You've done enough," I simply stated and he stood up."Please!!" He pleaded. "I think you should go," I said staring at the g
"What do you want?" I panicked, trying to shift back as he approached the bed. He ignored my question and leaned closer to me."Such a beautiful thing," his hands shot to my hair and I hissed as he dragged it."Please what do you want?" I asked, gulping loudly. He grinned deeply as he shifted back."We may want something but sometimes cannot get it. I am lucky I get what I want," he paced down the room and I just stared at him in confusion."I don't understand," I croaked out and he sighed as he sat on the edge of the bed."How do you know my name!" I manage to shout after the brief silence."I just need you to calm done, Laura," he said."Calm down? How can I calm done when you--, wait you are going to rape me again aren't you?""No honey! I wouldn't dare hurt you. Never ever," he assured but I didn't believe him at all."Then why am I here?" I asked trying not to show my trembling body."I'll told you to stay ca
*Third Person Point Of View*Gabriel rushed back with a slightly faint speed. He wanted to get to Laura quickly before she got a hint of his surprise.Yeah, a surprise! Her birthday was coming up in a week time and he was prepared for it. All the grand gestures were to keep her mind out of it.Slowly, he approached the spot he left her a few minutes ago. The sight before him didn't make sense. He felt like crying.Where is the Laura that I left here? He thought and panic.Looking at the scene he already knew what happened..Her ice cream was scattered on the ground, her phone shattered and a piece of cloth roughly laid on the floor.He sucked in breath and walked closer to the item. Swiftly pulling it up, he froze at the situation.He looked at the item with confusion and anger. Right there was written boldly and clearly, "Your beloved shall never be seen by you again! I'll make sure of that" that was the answer to his question.
A Month Later....☁*Laura Point Of View*"What do you mean by he's caustic?" I asked confused."Codic is bitter and shar-""He's name is Cody and he is not bitter," I protested.Me and Gabriel were presently on a date and he kept asking and telling me about Cody behaviour towards me and him together. He doesn't like Cody and Cody doesn't like him."You sound like you are on his side. You are arguing with your boyfriend just because of him?" He hissed and I rolled my eyes."Oh please! I think I'll have a headache if you don't stop talking," I said and he gave me a pointed look which I ignored."Me and Cody are just friends nothing else," I promised and he sighed as he raked his hair."Okay. I believe you," he smiled and I returned it."Now can we go. This place is a little restricted. I want to stretch my legs," I groaned and buried my head on the table."It's not restricted, you are just not used to it," he s
I'm an orphan, no home, no friends, never felt love before and I have never been loved. Although I have been told how beautiful I am when I walk on the streets, well, that was before now I am not really beautiful any more. I never knew my parents, don't even know if I have a family, maybe they dump me in a dustbin or they lost me, really I don't know. Been in the orphanage had been fun at first, but I was always mocked and bullied by other orphans and my mates. The first orphanage that took me in, left me behind when we went for our trips, it was a rich orphanage, the second one I ran away from there because of their ill treatment towards me and I couldn't take it. I just couldn't. That day, I slept in the streets with my luggage only to wake up in the night and find out my clothes had been stolen. Life had been unfair to me but I was happy they didn't take my novels cause I can't do without them, it calms me down. I us
