Looking at his presence, Laura couldn't help but wonder curiously what that thing would be that had made him so frightened.
She kept rubbing his back in a soothing way and gradually Steven's heavy panting calmed down as he relaxed his muscles in her arms. "Are you ok, now?" Laura asked him after a while.He pulled his head away and then looked at her, "I am ok," He said in a hoarse voice.Laura very gently caressed the hair of his beard and then asked softly, "What happened?"Steven's body tensed at her question, "Don't ask," He said with a tight lip and Laura didn't push him further. She nodded her head in understanding and then turned to get up."Where are you going?" Steven asked as he held her wrist, "Breakfast? It's morning now." Laura said while pointingRelated chapters

These days I am not feeling too good." Laura said feeling ugly and depressed."Laura," Looking at her getting sad, Steven pulled her into his arms, "It's ok, it happens you will be fine soon. Maybe it's because you have changed your environment that is why you're not feeling comfortable but soon it will get better. Don't worry." He comforted her and then made her sit on his lap."Just for today bear it, I will then give you leave for a few days to rest at home." He said in understanding and Laura nodded her head."Okay," she closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder feeling tired as Steven gently caressed her hair.KNOCK KNOCKA knock on the door startled them and then a man ent

Laura entered the venue while fuming in anger and then bumped into a young man unknowingly, "Ahhh..." She groaned, feeling frustrated."So sorry, are you hurt?" The man asked her while holding her arm and stabilizing her."I am ok," Laura said indifferently and left, the young man stared at her back, lost in his own thoughts."Where did you go?" As Laura walked to sit on the table, Steven came from behind and asked, feeling worried."Nowhere, Can we go?" She asked while pouting her face and Steven smiled. "I can't, after some time maybe."Laura scoffed annoyed. "Why did you even bring me here tonight?" She then asked, irritated."To meet him," Steven said as he averted his eyes to someone and Laura followed his gaze, a man who looked younger than Steven walked in a dark violet-colored three-piece suit, he looked charming and full of life.He had short black hair and his face was shaved, clean, and handsome."Who is this?"

Augustus's brows furrowed together, he clenched his jaw and then revealed, "She still likes me Lisa and she thought that she can make me jealous from Steven when in reality I just care for her future, I know I have been not treating her rightly all this time but I will try my best to make it up. It's just... Whenever I see her being stubborn, I remember all the old times when she had tried to harm our relationship. I am afraid that again she will do something and you will again surrender to her easily and leave me... I... can't live without you and my kids... Lisa.." Augustus said his worries and Lisa felt overwhelmed by his confession."I will talk to Laura about everything and for the time being, it would be better if you stay away from her life, Augustus. Your constant interference in her life is making her confused with you and Steven. I know she has something for him but still, I will talk to her and try to explain all the things that you did.

***"Where are you going?" Augustus questioned with his brows furrowed as he saw Lisa coming down from the stairs, dressed nicely."I had told you, Augustus." Lisa rolled her eyes at him while walking towards him at a slow pace."You told me that before you got ill and it's been three days now." Augustus replied back and Lisa frowned, "Still, I am going." She announced and then walked to the main door as Augustus held her hand to stop her."Lisa, I think you should go to the doctor first." He advised but Lisa rejected it bluntly, "No need.""Why?" Augustus raised his brow in questioning feeling confused. "Because I already know what's wrong with me," Lisa said and then gave him a playful smile."How do you know about it, What do you..." Augustus scratched his forehead, lost in deep thought, and then something hit in his head as he stopped and looked at Lisa with wide eyes, "No... are you sure?"Lisa nodded her head with a huge grin and then Augustu

Laura was sitting on the bench, her gaze kept going on the door of the ER as multiple nurses rushed in and out of it. She was quite apprehensive about the future and her palms started getting sweaty at the thought of it. Her legs were slightly trembling from the nervousness as she was waiting for the doctor to come out of the ER and report her about her sister's condition.Just when she was lost in her worries, her phone rang, making her jump in fear. She quickly looked for it in her purse and then answered the call with trembling hands, "Steve..." She cried out in a heart-wrenching voice making the other person anxious."Where are you?" Steven asked straightly and Laura replied with a shallow breath, "Hospital," Just when she was supposed to give him the full name of the hospital, she heard the heavy footsteps and looked up, her eyes widened, and then she lowered it with guilt as she quickly stood up while hunching her shoulders and holding her phone tightly in her hands.

"You should eat more," Steven said with concern as he filled her plate that was half empty. Since the beginning of knowing her, he knew how much of a foodie she is and would never skip her food no matter what but now looking at her, with empty eyes and blankly looking at her food, his heart tightened and he felt distressed.Laura nodded her head, with no emotion on her face, the black bags under her eyes were proof that she didn't sleep too well last night. Just when she took a bite of pancake, her stomach churned in the contraction of food and she then ran to the bathroom while covering her mouth.Anxious, Steven also followed her as she threw up in the bathroom getting paler and weak. "Haven't you checked with the doctor?" Steven asked with his brow furrowed."I did," Laura said and then stood up while taking his support, she rinsed her mouth and then brushed her teeth again. "I am fine," Looking at the worried face of Steven, Laura comforted him.His gaze stay

One Year Later“It’s a great honor to interview you Mr. Aldrich or I would say the prince?” A woman in her mid-thirties sat straight with a sharp face and a gentle smile as she began her interview.“Steven would be fine.”“So, Mr. Steven first of all congratulations on the success of your new foundation for cancer patients. This would be the third center you had built in one year. Is there any reason why you’re so passionate about it, saving lives?”“I had lost my wife because of cancer and didn’t want anyone else to lose their loved one because of it.

“STEVA."Laura looked from the woman’s shoulder and saw Steven standing behind her with a bottle of water in his hand.
