"You should go dress up, we'll be leaving very soon," Dad said and I lazily stood up and headed to my room, still stealing glances at Sandra.
I walked into my room and quickly selected a white tuxedo to put on and a matching pair of shoe to wear.
"Wasn't she extremely gorgeous," I heard and I flinched almost landing on my bed.
I turned only to see my annoying sister."Can you for once obey me," I sighed.
"If you want me to knock, that ain't gonna happen," She smiled.
"What if I had being dressing up," I said.
"I always come at the right time," She said.
"I am not in the mood for this," I said.
"You don't want anything to spoil your good mood because of Sandra?" She said and moved closer to me.
"I don't know what you're talking about," I said.
"Come on, don't take me for a fool, I know my brother very well and I know that you like Sandra," She said and I gasped.
"Well, tha
♠Laura's pov♠Waking up with pains in my arm was awesome. I am being sarcastic. I had to scrub the toilet so had that I think that my hand is broken.Going to school today, and I am really not in the mood.After breakfast we went to school, and today am going to the gym first. Just to show off my good skills and impress everyone.Nah...that will never happen. Am too weak and soft, and I don't want to ache my poor body more. But I have to go, so that I can see for myself.And besides the girls will be there they'll keep me company. "Okay I take back my word, am leaving," I said but Patricia held me back."Everything will be just fine and fun, just breath," She said slowly."In and out," She said and I followed."That's good, now let's have some fun," She winked.It's gonna be fun.Nothing bad will happen. I won't break into tiny pieces, but why am I so nervous."I am nervo
🔷Laura POV🔷"Gabriel, why don't we take a break," I said, tired of seeing him play.I am not a basketball fan at all. "Okay sure, we'll see later," He winked at me.Okay, weirder than I imagined. I walked back to where the girls were before but didn't see them."So how did it go," Tammy said behind me."I never had the time to tell him about you," I said playing with my fingers."Nut not all is lost, he asked me on a date and that's where am gonna tell him all about you, great plan right!" I said and and her jaw fell open."What? Are you crazy.. Do you know what I.. " She yelled but Maddy covered her mouth before she could say anything."You shouldn't have accepted Laura," Maddy said."I didn't think it that way, it's just to make him fall in love with Tammy and besides I don't even like him," I smiled and she slowly pulled her hand off Tammy's mouth."But what if he turns out liking you," She said.
💠Laura pov💠I woke up late the next day, and was pretty mad that the girls didn't wake me.Oh, they are mad at me. The room was empty, they all left me.Immediately Rachael walked in laughing. "Is it not the two faced rat, I heard what you did and you did great by the way," She smirked."Look if you have nothing better to say please leave.""Okay, I am leaving anyway," She laughed again as she walked at the door.I sighed and got ready for school. For the first time, I went alone to school, went to class by myself and was about to eat lunch alone before I sighted them from a distance.They were talking with Nelly."The BBB's are really getting on my nerves," Tammy said and I hopped in."Perhaps, we should make our own group and teach them a lesson, let's call it TMCPLN or something," I smiled while they all stared at me."That will be cool," Christy said but Patricia nudged her and she kept quiet i

🎈Rachel Pov🎈"That was reckless Rachel," Aunty Malika said frowning."I want her to leave Gabriel alone and this is the great opportunity," I said."If she stays in that house she'll get Luke's and Mr Howard's attention and maybe they will end up in love, did you think of that?" She said and I scratched my head."It doesn't matter I don't like Luke, I like Gabriel... ""If she gets close to them, think of what she can do,"sl She said and I pouted."She could do anything including ruin me," I said.What have I done!!"You just cost yourself," She said coodly and walked away.I can fix this!!I stood up and walked into my room.I have allies now and it seems that one of my allies have a crush on Luke.Interesting!!!"Rachel you shouldn't have done that," Patricia said as she stood up and walked to me."I didn't do anything wrong, I just told him what she said.""Wait! She really
Laura Pov Cont."Hey," I smiled back."Please, let me show you around after I keep your luggage," She smiled as she walked towards my luggage holding it firmly as she disappeared into the big castle.I couldn't help but feel flabbergast by her British accent.It's really amazing...I want to speak like that.The house was big like a castle.The castle was surrounded by multiple fountains that sprinkled water in the air, roses that caught the sun attention.Beautiful flowers from east to west. Even the floor had its own beauty, it was shining bright with the help of the sun's rays.It was dark yet attracted to the eyes.It's just too beautiful for me to over look.I might have to act a little older and use my dictionary more often to please the house and everyone in it, expecially the british accent lady.Although it is my own pleasure to be here, but yet, I kinda feel a ball of shivers rolling down m
Laura povAfter a good meal for lunch, Katherine and princess Anne took me to the garden to have some girl time with me.I was hoping that Sandra would come but she stated that she was not in the mood and recently busy.And now I find myself in a garden with my beautiful princess...oh, and yeah Katherine."You know I wish gnomes existed," Anne shrieked with her British accent and I just smiled."What are gnomes?" Katherine asked confused."They are cute little, short bearded males. They act as the guardians of mines," I explained."They are bearded, so how exactly are they cute and how do you know this, have you seen them before?" Katherine asked puzzled."Nope, just from the dictionary," I shrugged."They are extinct, Kate," said Anne."So how did they know that gnomes existed, I mean it was long ago that maybe it was seen and by that time the internet wasn't made. The people who may have seen it probably died off
Laura POVI was a bit taken aback and a little scared as I watched Gabriel who was smiling and coming closer.Every step he took made my heart beat increased and I couldn't help but smile as he sat down close to me."I see you missed me," He said and winked at me. I suddenly snapped out of my craziness."Actually no, can you please stand up, that seat is for Nelly," I said and his face fell."Oh, sorry," He said as he stood up "I just wanted to..." He stuttered, "Er, you called me why? "He asked puzzled."It was a mistake, I butt dialed you," I said after my search for an answer."Ohh," He said as his smile fanished, "What are you doing here anyways," He asked curiously."This is my new class," I said and he smiled, "Wow that's great, you finally took my advice.""Er, Gabriel, I don't want to be rude but can you just let me be alone for a while?" i asked letting out a small smile.He should leave already.He's
*Third Person's Pnt Of View*The celebration was grand. Chandeliers glimerring beautifully, fancy curtains, perfectly arranged chairs and so on. 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
