Pretentious Bitch!
Lauren swallowed a lump of saliva to keep her dry throat wet. Why the hell did Malcolm not warn her about this?
She hated trouble and these women definitely smelt like trouble.
Grabbing a drink from a passing waitress, she whispered a thank-you with a smile. Taking a sip of the red liquid, she closed her eyes as she savoured its sweet taste followed by a burning sensation, ignoring the looks she got from the half dozen women in the room.

Giggles filled the room but Lauren paid no attention. She was never a big fan of gossips and won’t start now. She smiled and sipped more from her glass. Now she knew why Malcolm didn’t inform her forehand. He was testing her and she wasn’t going to let him down.

As the scream from the adjacent room interrupted the meeting, Malcolm couldn’t help but wonder if Michelle was okay. He had purposely not informed her about the arrangement to test her. According to his grandfather, a chicken-hearted person wasn’t fit to be the Mistress of the Knight empire. He kept his icy demure and remained glued to his seat as the men entered the room to check on the ladies. The minute he heard Yolanda’s voice, he immediately knew Michelle was in some kind of trouble. Born with a silver spoon, Yolanda was used to having her way in practically everything and when she didn’t, she always found a way to hurt her victim. Making sure to be unnoticed, he walked to the door and when he sighted a nonchalant Michelle sitting on her chair and twirling her glass, his heart swelled with pride. She looked like a little devil watching her prey dance to her music. The cut on her cheeks made her look wicked and he felt like hitting her for allowing her bl

She missed working so many jobs at a time.Suddenly, an idea popped into her head. a quite dangerous one.A part of her wanted to remain indoors and stick to her usual routine of preparing meals with Kate and napping but a bigger part of her danced excitedly at the thought of an adventure.

He had prayed to the moon the night before, something he never, ever did for anyone, not even himself. He only wanted to see her face. To make sure she was okay. That her s
Silent Scars Do You Like Her?
Lauren walked into the house like nothing happened. According to Michael, Bryan had been home since morning, and to prove it, he made to check up on the young lad but Lauren stopped him, afraid that she might end up exposing the little guy who might not be home yet. How he managed to escape so unnoticed was what she couldn’t explain. She couldn’t ask him either, knowing he only thought of her as Michelle. Waving Michael off politely, Lauren walked upstairs to the room she shared with Malcolm and peeled off her clothing, replacing it with a simple white home gown that stopped just on her thighs. She gathered her hair in a rough bun before returning downstairs to prepare dinner with Kate. “Good evening, Ms. Byrne.” Kate greeted.Lauren rolled her eyes, “You know, you really don’t have to keep doing this. I thought we were friends already.”Kate smiled, “Rules are always rules. It wasn’t for the boss&rsqu
Silent Scars The Nightmare.
Lauren walked down the void of darkness not knowing where she was. She tried to call for help but strangely, her throat was parched and no sound came out of her mouth. She was scared. her heart slammed against her chest as if threatening to burst out in no time. She shut her eyes tight and closed her ears with her palms.She was lost. “Lauren.” A voice called out in the wind. A voice she knew perfectly well. A voice she could recognise anywhere in the world.It was her mother.Opening her eyes, she found herself in a vast dessert with wind that threatened to knock her off her feet. Just where the hell was she? “Mom?” she called out, hoping she would see her mother, and she did! A hand landed on her shoulders and when she turned, there stood her mother, wearing her ever charming smile. “Mom.” Lauren called again in a shaky voice. This time, tears slid down her cheeks. She saw her mother
Silent Scars You Have No Right To Miss Her!
Lauren sat as stiff as a tree in the car, unable to look outside as usual to admire nature. She couldn’t believe she was on her way to the very place she dreaded most! Well, it was all thanks to some stupid nightmare of hers. That morning when Malcolm had asked her, not in his usual I-am-Malcolm-Knight tone but in a kind of caring tone, her heart had stopped beating for the briefest second; she thought she was going to break down right in front of him and shatter all the pretenses but she couldn’t do that. She owed it to her father, and moreover, she didn’t know what this man might end up doing to her if she revealed anything now, so she simply nodded.She missed her mother.She missed her mother so much it felt like her heart would rip into pieces.Then, he gave her permission to go see her mother. To go see Grace; and only then did she remember who her ‘mother’ was. Her first decision was not to go but she knew she couldn’t
Silent Scars Busted!!
Lauren felt her entire energy being drained from her. Her father chose his title over her mother. He chose wealth over her and her mother. Her brain found it hard to process that and the more she tried to make up excuses for him in her head, the more the tears came. The minute the car halted in front of the Knight’s mansion, she walked straight upstairs, trying hard not to break down in front of all these people. She stopped in front of the master bedroom and after some thought, she turned back and headed to the first floor where the guest rooms were and picking a random one, she walked in, closing the door behind her. She sat down in front of a mirror hating the face she saw. It reminded her that she was just a second choice to her father. Without wasting time, she quickly removed it, and at the sight of that face that reminded her so much of her mother, she broke down to0 tears. Bryan jumped about happily, holding onto the big soft hand that held him. it was
