A Few hours before Lauren arrives, she just finished her shoot, and she appears on the front page magazine, that portrays girl trafficking, she does it perfectly, having those handcuffs on her hand to show that it's a form of modern-day slavery. The magazine had told her manager that they were having a campaign to stop girls trafficking, and they required a model not too long ago, but as usual, she did it perfectly. "Whoa! You are good." her manager Sally praised her. "Thank you,""President Zul said he wants to see you in his office after the shoot." "Oh! I am..." She pressed her lips together. "Don't worry, let's go." Lauren is frustrated, that even when Mandy passed him, he had no idea that she did, Mandy too wasn't expecting Lauren will be there so early, so she didn't take notice of the man"Good day, sir!" Mandy greeted him as she entered with her manager. "Good day pretty," President Zul said, adding pretty to her name, Sally knows this is trouble. "You should wait outside,
Doctor Joel is waiting patiently for Mandy, as she enters the hospital, he walks to her, to lead her way to his office. "Sorry for the inconvenience, I was the one who placed a call to you." "It's fine," "Mr Noor's condition is very bad, your name is the only word he keeps murmuring, so I thought I could make an effort to look for you." "What happened to him? Who brought him here?" "Maybe, you could see for yourself." Doctor Joel pushed the ward door, and her eyes moved to Noor, lying on the hospital bed, looking so lifeless with drips, machine attached to his body, practically depending on these machines, Mandy closed her mouth, as tears dropped from her eyes, she blames herself mentally for all the pain Noor might be experiencing. "Mr. Noor doesn't have enough oxygen going to his brain, for him to function fine, so he falls into comatose, but right before that, your name was the only thing he kept murmuring, like I said." Mandy took a deep breath, she just couldn't break down
Lauren is waiting patiently for Mandy, it's getting late, and he is more tense but just trying to control himself. At exactly 10 pm, Mandy pushed the door of the building, Lauren was sitting coldly on the couch, she didn't throw an eye on him. "Where are you coming from?" Lauren asked in anger. "Nowhere." "You kidding me right?" Lauren placed his hand in his pocket and walked slowly to her. "Where are you coming from?" He is mad, his voice is not friendly but he still wants to control it. "I just said nowhere." "Mandy, what is wrong?" Lauren reduced his voice, he was angry but he didn't want to show it, so she pushed passed him. "Fine, if you don't want to tell me, go and take your bath, so we eat together." "I am not hungry," Mandy said as she darted to her room, and Lauren closed his eyes, he needed Mandy more than anything else in the world, and since Mandy didn't want to talk to him, he went to his room. He is already in the living room the next morning, Mandy is all dressed,
Noor was expecting Mandy, right from the early hours of the morning but she didn't show up, he was almost giving up, when Mandy pushed the door, her face was different from the previous day. "Are you alright?" Noor asked, that is the only word Noor asked, the one that merely looking at Mandy's face could detect that she was sad. "Yes, I am fine, how are...""You are not, did Lauren hurt you? Did he scold you for coming home late?" Mandy cried and hugged him, he clenched his fist in anger, how dare Lauren? As Noor ran his hand on her back, she pulled from him. "I wasn't able to prepare something, so I decided to get on my way here, you should eat.""Feed me!" Noor said, she looked at the food like someone having a deep thought and then decided to, Noor remembered all the good times they had together before her marriage, his love for her had grown over the years, and every single day, he wished that they never part ways, this one woman in front of him, is the one he wanted. He was read
Mandy spends the night with Noor, though she is there, her heart is not there, she keeps checking her phone, if Lauren's call will come in but he is not coming. "Go to bed, stop checking your phone." "Silly, how do you know, I am checking my phone?" Mandy asked, as she dropped her phone and then moved to Noor to cover his chest, Noor pulled her, making her fall on his chest. "Noor!" "Lie here, you don't want to spend the night on that chair, do you?" Mandy never did think about that, he just brought it to her notice. "Are you...""Yes, lie here, it's big enough for two people." Noor voice came up, she lay on the bed but was too scared to even sleep with her two eyes completely closed. *****The next morning, Lauren didn't come out of the room, and he didn't go to the office, when Nick was done with the food, he pressed his Telecom. "Master Lauren! The meal is served." "Trash it, I am not hungry." Those were the words Lauren managed to say, he was in pain, he had developed a cold
"For what?" Mandy asked him, and he smirked. "Why didn't you eat last night and today?" "I wasn't hungry!" "Have you ever seen anyone who is not hungry throughout the day?" Lauren didn't reply to her. "Go on tell me." "You weren't here to eat with me." Mandy looked at him, she blushed, averting her gaze, she shouldn't play with fire, Lauren doesn't love her. "Haven't you been eating without me?" "You look different." "Different?" Mandy asked. "Yes, when you blush." She hurried from his bed, she needed to give him space. "You are fine now, I should leave." He holds Mandy's hand, she looks at him. "Stay with me...""I can't, I promise Noor to come back." Lauren let go of her hand, he grabbed his bedspread to cover himself. "I will just return in the evening." Lauren didn't say any more words, Mandy turned around and left, and he closed his eyes, what madness had he gotten himself into? As each day passes he longs for a woman whose heart belongs to another, instead of the love goin
"I was...""You said you were coming home last night but you didn't and now, you are just coming back? The last time I checked you are not a nurse neither are you a doctor." "Lauren, he...""What the fuck does he need you for? And don't give me that look like you felt guilty and want to help him." "Yes, I put him in that mess, so I should help." "Mandy, you don't take me for a fool do you?""I don't know what you are talking about the truth is Noor is my responsibility, so I should..." "Mandy keep your mouth shut." Lauren's dry voice thundered, he had, had it up to his neck, there was no way he could be calm, Mandy pressed her hands together, trying not to say things that would annoy the monster in front of her. "What did you do with him?" Lauren questioned her, she looked at him confused, what could she possibly be doing with a sick man? "Can you hear yourself talk, he is in the hospital, what will I be...""Did he not kiss you?" Mandy closed her eyes, she couldn't say that Lau
Lauren was the first to wake up, he watched the sleeping Mandy on his bed with her hair scattered on his bed, he bent to kiss her, and Mandy's phone rang. "Shit!" He presses the button to stop it from ringing. "Is that my phone?" Mandy asked in her sleep. "Nope!" Lauren said, he wanted to switch the phone off, but the call came up again before he could press the switch button. "That is my phone." Mandy stands up, only to see Lauren with her phone. "Hey, that is my phone, who is calling?" "I said no one." "You telling lies." She grabbed her phone from him, only to see a message from Noor. "Oh my God! I told him, that I was...""Mandy! Where are going?" "I need to bathe, I have to..." Lauren held her hand. "Mandy please, don't pick Noor over me."Mandy looks at him. "Yes, I know Noor is your first love, I was scared that you still have feelings for him, that is the reason I didn't tell you, about him, I just felt if I let you know that, he didn't hurt you in his right senses, he

Mandy is having her bath, when the Telecom rang, indicating she had a visitor. "Who could that be?" She said mentally as she slipped into simple wear, getting into the living room, where Tessa and Lisa are"You two? What are you doing here?" "Happy marriage anniversary!" "What did you just say?" "Didn't you remember? Is your marriage anniversary?" "Dammit! Lauren will kill me, I didn't even wish him one." She grabbed her phone to call him but the number was switched off. "This is not happening." "What happened?" Lisa asked. "His number is not going through, let's just say maybe he is having a network issue and he too forgets it, so I will just surprise him." "Really?" "Yes, we need to..." Her words stop, seeing Sharon's message."What Is it?" Tessa
Mandy is very exhausted after the party, she sleeps in the Car like the first time that they get married. She is so exhausted from the numerous dances that they made her dance, photograph, and take her marriage vows, everything was just too much for her but she is happy anyway, it's her dream come true. As soon as Lauren packed his car, he looked beside him, his heart smiled, as he saw the one woman he had longed for like all his life, and he pushed his hand under Mandy's cheek."Lauren stop disturbing me." "Silly, you are in the car, do you want to sleep here?" "Of course not!" "Then come down." "What do you mean to come down?" "I don't understand, you want to sleep here." "No! You should carry me." Lauren smiled at her silliness. "Go on!" "As your lordship pleases." he pulled her into his hand and carried her into the villa, he took her to his room, and Mandy just lay down. "Mr. Mask!" "Yes!" "Take off my wears, it's too heavy for me." Lauren couldn't believe that Mandy wa

"With Lisa and Tessa, about to have my gown...""No need for that, it's fixed, you should come out, Stone is there to pick you up, he will take you to me." "Where?" "Stop asking and don't come with Lisa or Tessa." Mandy smiled, for the past two days, Mandy had gone everywhere with Tessa and Lisa, from booking the venue for the registry to picking up the bouquet, everything was so fast. They were saying Tessa and Larry's wedding was fast. Lauren and Mandy's is faster. "Silly, I will not come with them." "Good, I love you." "Love you too." "Alright, see you soon." The call dies off, Mandy looks at them. "Go on, he doesn't want us to come with you." The two said in unison, making Mandy titter. "You two are silly." "Get going before he waits up his life, you should know brother hates the wait." Mandy pecks the two and hurries out, Stone is there, and he p
"Lauren? I told you, I am sorry, please take me back, I will...""Marry me!" Mandy wasn't expecting him to say that, she looked all lost, and then Lauren knelt before her. "Will you marry me?" Bringing out a ring, to propose to her, Mandy's tears drop, she had always wanted this, her dream was for her to marry the one man, her heart beat for and he should be able to propose to her, with a ring and him on his knees before and she felt Noor is the only person she could love but then again she fell in love with Lauren. "Come on Bonbon! My legs ache." "Sorry!" "Sorry for what?" "Mr. Mask, can you stop putting words in my mouth?" "Fine, I am patient." "Go on and ask me again." "Bonbon!" "Come on Mr. Mask!" Mandy caressed his face"Fine! Mandy Edward, will you marry me, Lauren Daniel?" "Yes!" "Whoa!" The screams made Lauren and Mandy shock, she rushed to the side of Lauren, only to see the entire family, Daniel's, and Grandpa Asher there. "Congratulations!" They keep hugging Mand
When Merlin finished he looked at her to say something but not a word came out of her mouth. "Go on and tell me, what you feel, if you don't love me, I will not force you to love me but what I will not want to happen is for our friendship to go under the carpet." "Merlin, I am sorry but I can't love you the way you love me." "Is it because you have someone else in your heart?" She nodded her head. "You are still in love with Lauren?" "Yes, I am in love with Lauren, I am sorry if I lead you on but the truth is, I still want Lauren, I just don't think I could love another." Merlin nodded, it hurt but he was expecting it, his heart kept telling him that, there was no way, Mandy could love him but he just wanted to push his luck, he turned the car around to drop Mandy, she had told him that, she is going to Tessa, he packs at Larry's, she held his hand. "Sorry...""It's fine, don't beat yourself, just go for your heart desires, if Lauren is what you want go for him, he is no longer wit
For one year, Lauren had been busy so busy that he didn't contact Mandy, not even for once, Mandy too was very busy, running Grandpa Asher's business, she didn't go back to modeling, she just had a different dream. But as busy as Merlin is, he still always contacts Mandy and the two can talk for hours like they were lovers, grandpa Asher is beginning to think that Mandy is in love with Merlin, he just doesn't want to push it but the truth is, grandpa Asher, want his granddaughter to settle with Merlin but he can't just make decisions for her.

"Not like some vocation but Tessa had her baby, some month back and I was very busy, I couldn't attend and...""Fine, you are free to." "Thanks, Grandpa! I will book my flight back." "No need, the private jet will take you there." Mandy's smile widens, she just can't believe that her grandpa will grant her that. Mandy messaged Dylan that she was coming to Sing
"Mandy!" "It's fine, come on, let's join the others." Lauren knows that Mandy is sad now, so he has to excuse himself. "Sure! Let's go." Getting back to the party, Lauren takes her hand. "Can I also dance with you?" She looks at him. "Please, don't say no to this." "Fine! Let's go." Marlin could watch as Lauren danced with Mandy, and Amelia kept calling. "Maybe, you should go home now," Mandy said as his phone kept ringing. "I guess it's a goodbye for now." "Sure! Goodbye!" Mandy turned, and Lauren held her hand. "Don't you think I deserve a peck?" She didn't say anything, she pecked him and then freed herself, Lauren wanted a kiss and a hug but then Mandy's decision was what they were working on. After the party, all the guests had gone, leaving Mandy and Dylan on the terrace alone. "Mandy, did you tell him?" She did tell Dylan that, she wanted to tell Lauren that they should come together but Amelia didn't make her."No way, I can't, Amelia is still in his life, and I don't
