Laura looked at her watch and her heart started thumping rapidly, as she held her breath and then murmured to herself. “He could be here any second,” She then looked at the road waiting for his car to come into her view.TICK … TOCK … TICK … TOCKThe seconds passed by and Laura didn’t even blink her eyes, suddenly she felt a cold shrill over her spine as she spotted Steven’s car.For a moment, she went blank and stared at the road blankly, the car passed through her and stopped in front of his office building. Mr. Xavier stepped out of the car and respectfully opened the back door of the car.A man looking handsome as usual stepped out in his expensive suit. “Mr. Xavier,” The man opened his mouth, his voice was thick like he had a sore throat.Laura turned immediately at his voice, she didn’t know she was shivering from the nervousness she was feeling to see him afteRelated chapters

Standing outside Steven’s office for more than three hours, Laura had literally started shivering, not risking her health more, she walked to the nearest coffee shop and then had a cup of coffee to warm her body and also stayed inside the coffee shop for quite some time so that her trembling body calms down.The headache came back as she carefully took her medicines and waited for the dizziness and headache to go away. After a while, when she felt completely fine and energetic, she then finally left the coffee shop to go back to her mark and wait for the angry man to show himself.***KNOCK … KNOCK … KNOCK …A knock on the door didn’t make Steven stop typing whatever he was on the laptop, he didn’t even raise his head to look at the person as he could see that it was lunchtime and the aroma of food lingered in the whole room indicating that Natasha had already brought his lunch.She placed the lunch at the coffee table

Laura was thrown back to her place where she would stand all day long, she didn’t give up but felt a bit hurt by Steven’s cold and indifferent behavior towards her.He really didn’t care about her, no matter what Augustus had told him at least for once he should listen to her explanation and give her a chance to explain.She felt a bit frustrated and slightly regretful too for coming here, but it was just the second day, she shouldn’t lose her hope so soon, right? She should stay determined on her decision.Laura stubbornly stood at her place, the slow headache coming back, as she immediately took out a bottle and gulped down the medicine with water, feeling better she walked to the nearest cafe and then stood there for a while until she felt okay to walk back and stood at her place waiting for Steven to come back.She has a hope that he will definitely come back to the office.***“Drive to the office,” Steven ordere

A faint smile appeared on Steven’s lips when he heard Laura cursing and yelling, now she really looks like the old Laura. He sighed in relief and kept watching her struggling to open the door.She looked like an ant on a hot pan, he didn’t know why she was acting so loud as though she was suffocated by these walls, but not taking anything into his concern he kept enjoying the show of her struggles.After all, he has also struggled a lot because of her now it’s her time to suffer.If Augustus is not worried about his child, then why would he care? At least he is not harming her child but just keeping her locked in a room so that she would give up on coming back here again, also it kept raining all the time, he was afraid that she would easily fall sick like this and then he doesn’t want any drama from Augustus that because of him something happened to their child.They both have decided the way they want to continue their lives so now Laura

“She isn’t here,” Mr. Xavier informed as he saw Steven again peeking from his office window looking for the woman who had completely disturbed his life for the last couple of weeks.He frowned and then turned with a look of guilt on his face but hid it with anger skillfully, “I was just looking around, why do you keep mentioning her?”He sat on his chair and a loud sound came from his actions showing his rage.“Master, it’s the fourth time you’re looking down from your window and also you haven’t had your lunch yet.”Mr. Xavier said calmly and kept his head lowered.Steven glared at him angrily, this man really knows how to answer every question. Couldn’t he apologize and just left. At least that won’t make him feel more guilty and ashamed about his actions.This is the third day straight in a row that Laura didn’t show up, she had even shown up during weekends and he also intention

A FEW DAYS LATERSteven was sitting in his office focusing on his work, he had been very absent-minded lately and ruining all his work. He would always forget the main point that he needed to discuss and also he wasn’t able to verify the information properly.Every time during his court hearing, he would make a mistake. He felt lost and alone even when he was sitting in a courtroom that was fully crowded with people.Mr. Xavier knows why he has become like this but he didn’t dare to say anything to him about it or mention that person’s name who has changed him drastically.He was flipping through the recent case file when Natasha knocked and entered his office, Steven was as expected in a dark mood as Natasha informed him politely.“Mr. Carlos’s secretary has called again for the meeting schedule. You’re free today so should I…”Before she could get a chance to complete her words, Steven snapped angrily. &ldquo

“Laura was diagnosed with a brain tumor, she was in her initial stage when the doctors found out about it, but she ran away from that hospital, afraid of everything, and also she was all alone at that time,” Augustus said slowly, he looked sad and guilty.“One day, I went to look for her to apologize for what I did, I know I acted impulsively on Lisa’s miscarriage but…”Augustus stopped sighing deeply, thinking about the past.“She looked terrible when I finally found her, and then later she told me the truth but didn’t want to get surgery,” Augustus revealed and Steven frowned, distressed.“What? Why didn't she want the surgery?” he asked, getting agitated.“She….”Augustus hesitated and then finally blurted out, “She thinks that whatever is happening to her, all the things, she deserves that, you leaving here, me and Lisa abandoning her, she thinks that, that tumor was a p

Shaking with grief and sorrow, Steven looked at Laura, his eyes softened and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes, she kept coming to him and he kept rejecting her. What would it take if he had spared her five minutes?He blamed himself in his heart.Seeing Steven’s getting depressed, Augustus spoke, “Whatever you did was justified Steven, It wasn’t your fault she is here today but you can save her Steven. When she was rescued from her apartment she was murmuring your name. Please bring her back, she needs you, she still wants you.”Augustus held his arm and pleaded softly.Steven looked at him surprised, he had never seen Augustus in a miserable state like this, hence he had sacrificed a lot for Laura and also paid back all his brutality before.Feeling a sense of thanking Augustus, Steven pulled him in his arms and hugged him tightly as they both needed this hug, they hugged each other tightly with slightly misty eyes.“Thank you for being with Laura when I wasn’t th

After an hour of pacing back and forth with worry and cold sweat on his forehead, finally, the door opened and the team of doctors stepped out with a long straight face.“What happened to her? Is she fine?”Steven held the doctor’s arm, losing his posture completely as the man could understand his state of mind, he blinked his eyes and then patted his shoulder in assurance.“She is fine, you can see her now..”Steven sighed with relief and then asked in nervousness, “What actually happened?”“Come inside please…”The doctor said wisely, he could see the way Steven was tense and anxious at the moment.“Please have a seat,” He said gently to Steven and then Steven sat on the sofa while his stare was fixed on Laura with deep worry written all over his face.“She had a seizure, it’s common to have a seizure when you have such a high fever.”The doctor told him calmly and

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. The treatment at the right time saves many lives.”“Oh, deeply sorry to hear about your loss.”“Huh, it was never a loss for me.”“Pardon?”“Please continue.”“So Mr. Steven, what do you want to say about Miss Steva’s praises for you and your wife?

Steven’s bitter laugh echoed in the room and the man standing in front of him winced in discomfort.“I never wish pain for you, Steven. I was angry with you, but that didn’t mean that I would want to destroy your happiness… No… Never…”“So, then why was my happiness taken away from me, Dad, why…” Steven asked, disheartened, and then unexpectedly started crying out while hugging the painting in his arms.“Steven…” The Old Master rushed to him to console him but he looked inconsolable.“I am still hoping that it is a dream, tell me, dad, it’s a dream… I want to wake up, wake me up… Wake me up…” Steven said in a choked voice and then started hitting his face like a mad man, the painting dropped to the floor and it showed a bald, petite woman in the embrace of a man that looked like Steven.Old Master's eyes widened realizing that it was Stev

“Are you sure?” The doctor asked Laura as he handed her a paper.“I am,” Laura replied to him firmly but still he looked hesitant. “It’s going to be fine,” Laura said calmly and then scribbled on the papers.The doctor sighed helplessly and then nodded to the nurse indicating her for the surgery to get started.***“DO YOU LOVE ME?”“ALL OF ME?”“I LOVE YOU.”“LET ME GO.”It has been eight hours since Laura was taken inside the OT and Steven stayed glued to his place waiting for her to come back, her voice echoed in his ears and he kept shaking them away, tiredly.“Drink something, it will make them go…” Augustus said as he handed him a cup of warm coffee. Steven looked at him blankly and then nodding his head, he gulped it down.“She will be fine…” Augustus comforted him while sitting beside him.&ldqu

The dinner went well, Steven didn’t ask Laura anything related to Steva and neither did Laura say anything to him related to her or his past.The next day, Steven left with Laura early in the morning afraid that Tyler would try to stop him, he can’t ignore Tyler’s plea. In his eyes, he is still a child. He had already informed Arthur about his leaving so he would be able to convey his message to Tyler.After what happened last time at the beach he didn’t want to repeat it as he took Laura away from this place as soon as he can.“Here we are,” At the request of Laura, Steven had brought her to meet her mother. “Can you come after some time?” Laura requested Steven as she didn’t want him to go inside with her, she needed some alone time with her mother.“Laura…” Steven was going to refuse her request but Laura pleaded softly, “Please… Steve…”“Fine…

“STEVA."Laura looked from the woman’s shoulder and saw Steven standing behind her with a bottle of water in his hand. His face looked angry as he clenched his jaw and then started pulling Laura with him in a rough way.“Steve…” Laura was completely taken aback by the sudden anger in him but he turned a deaf ear as he kept dragging her with him to the castle not caring about her health.By the time, Laura entered the castle, she was panting heavily and in desperate need of oxygen, at this moment she wasn’t even able to form a word but gasping for air with difficulty.Looking at her state and his brother’s stern face, Tyler rushed to them with a worried face.“Brother, what happened to sister-in-law?” He asked anxiously and it was only then that Steven realized what he had done as he turned and exclaimed, “Laura…”Laura's body fell to the ground as soon as he let go of her hand and

PRESENT“Steve…?” Laura looked up at Steven who was lost in his past with his hand pressing on his chest as though he was feeling the pain from it.“Huh…” Steven’s trance from the past broke and he looked down at the small face of Laura.“It’s alright… It’s gone…” Laura said while taking his hand away from his chest.“Hmmm… but it still haunts me…” Steven confessed in a hoarse voice.“Steve, people can’t change their past you need to move on with it,” Laura told him and he sighed agreeing to her words.“You were just like me, remember the first time, when I saw you crying for Augustus in my room, I knew exactly at that moment that if I won’t help you, you would end up the same way I did. Maybe that is the reason I never wanted to leave your side and stay with you every time so you won’t end up regretting just li

“Steve, do you love me?” Steva’s question made his heart skip a beat.He tilted his head in her direction and said with a bitter smile, “Do you still have a doubt?”Steva smiled with painful dimples and gasped in pain, “Why… Why Steve? Nobody loves me, so why do you?” She started sobbing.“I don’t have any reason to love you… I just love you…” Steven said truthfully and held her face closely and sealed the moment by kissing her lips, she tasted sweet just like she is, he couldn’t help but devour her deeply and then a sudden thud made him fall on the sand heavily.BOOM“No…” Steva said looking flushed and distressed and then ran away from Steven.Days passed to this incident, neither did Steven see Steva after that and nor did Steva try to contact him. They both again went back to strangers burning all the blissful memories of the past.But no m

Come here.”The boy wearing a plain shirt and trousers walked nervously to her.“Here, that’s my son, Steven.” Sofia Aldrich (Old Madam) introduced her son with a wide smile to the woman sitting in front of her. “Steven, Hello, I am Steva.” The woman offered her hand with a polite smile, Steven shyly stretched his arm and shook his hand with her.“So, tomorrow we will start the class, ok. I don’t want you to be late.” Steva said in a strict tone but her sea-green eyes were soft on him.

Laura turned to look at Steven, reluctant to leave him, she spotted him standing under a large tree, his eyes staring blankly at the particular space.Soon, she saw a woman approaching him, when Steven noticed the woman’s presence, he frowned badly and then walked away with a stern face. Laura tried her best to have a look at the woman’s face but her face was partially covered by a long hat.“Mrs. Aldrich…” Xavier’s voice brought her back and then absent-mindedly she sat in the car.***“Laura…” As Laura entered the castle, she saw a woman standing in the
