Laura paused and turned back toward the living room to see Audrey holding something out to her.

"Your phone—you forgot it on the couch," Audrey said.

"Oh, thank you," Laura replied, closing the door behind her as she stepped back into the living room.

In the hallway, Jason and Tim were heading to the elevator when they saw the door to the next suite close as soon as they got to it. Jason caught a glimpse of a woman just before the door closed.

"Jason, do you want me to knock and ask about the noise earlier?" Tim asked.

"No, the hotel staff should take care of that. Get someone to send whoever is in there the guidelines for the suite," Jason replied in a haughty voice.

"Okay, I'll do that. Gift is already at the restaurant," Tim replied.

Jason's personal bodyguard, Charlie, pushed the button to open the elevator.

As they walked in, Jason said, "While I speak with grace, get a non-disclosure agreement drafted," to Tim.

    Jason took the contract Tim had drafted and placed it before Gift as he stretched out a pen towards her. "Sign it, Gift; that's all you have to do," Jason said grimly. Gift Hatcher was a popular celebrity; she was gorgeous and well known in the movie industry. She had known Jason for quite a while; their families moved in the same circle, although the North family was on another level of influence. "If I am going to be your girlfriend to keep this secret, it's going to be on one condition, Jason," Gift said, her voice filled with determination. "And what is that?" Jason asked, looking impatient. Gift smiled sweetly as she said, "I want you to put in a few words for me in the industry, especially some big projects." Gift's statement intrigued Jason. "Why would I agree to that?" he told her. Despite needing her help, he would never recommend someone solely based on being an acquaintance. Gift smirked, her eyebrows raised innocently, as she said, "Well, you can't be the only one

    A security guard, a cleaner, and Audrey were standing around them."I'm sorry, Aunt Audrey," Lisa pleaded, her eyes filled with tears.Laura was amazed. Standing in the midst of the group were Lisa and Liam, with a scatted cake at their center."What's going on here?" Laura asked as soon as she walked up to them."Mom!" The twins cried out and rushed over to her."Laura, it is just a small misunderstanding. Lisa and Liam insisted on carrying the cake, and the cake fell off while they were struggling for it." Audrey replied.Laura raised her brows in question at the twins, who were looking up at her with round eyes of pity."No, don't try that with me," Laura told them as she looked at their pitiful faces."What did I tell you guys?"

Despite their concerned faces at his father's illness, he knew that was the least of their worry.With his chin held high and standing tall, Jason strolled the rest of the distance to his so-called family."I didn't know we had to keep attendance for visiting father in the hospital now, Uncle Luke," Jason murmured.Luke's cheeks were flushed as he replied, "I didn't mean that; I was just concerned that you did not show up."Jason turned towards Rita, who had her head bowed. "Aunt Rita, I didn't know you rear sheeps now," he said to her.Rita gave a nervous laugh. "Where did you hear that? Of course not," she replied, fidgeting a little.

Charlie was right behind him; Jason was on the brink and did not want to pour all his aggression on this meddlesome woman."Uhm!" Audrey tried to say something, but Jason cut her off."Safe it; I don't want to hear it." Jason replied, cutting her off; without looking back at her, he opened his door and said over his shoulders to Charlie, "Ensure she gets on that elevator."Audrey looked confused about what was going on; she had missed seeing Jason's face.Audrey shook her head, muttered, "A lot of weird guys these days," and stepped into the elevator.Before Charlie could turn to her, she was gone.Jason walked into the suite, relaxing his stiff shoulders that had stayed rigid all day.

She climbed onto Laura's bed."Mom, it's time," Lisa shouted, jumping up and down on the bed."Arrrggghh!"

    Shawn and Tobias looked back instantly, and the shock on their faces was so appealing that it brought a smile to Lily's face. "Laura? What are you doing here?" Tobias asked, looking shocked. "You look like you've seen a ghost." Laura said as she walked over and sat in front of them. Before they could answer, they heard a knock at the door, and Laura said, "Oh, that must be him." "Aunt, I thought you said she left," Tobias said, looking at Lily. Lily remained silent and only responded with a shrug. Laura opened the door, and Jason walked into the office, a sight that only made Tobias more scared and Shawn visibly angry. "You were saying something about my family," Laura said, addressing Shawn. "What is going on here? Why does this feel like a trap? Are you suspecting us of something?" Shawn asked, standing up suddenly. "Nobody is suspecting you of anything; we are just asking you about your last statement," Lily said, breaking her silence. "You know what? I'm leaving. I only

    As soon as they were alone, Jason turned back to Laura and said, "Let's hear it."Laura shook her head and replied, "Jason, up until this morning, I didn't have the information I have now. I was actually trying my best not to be angry at you.""Why would you be angry at me? If for anything, I should be the one pissed, because you were not picking up my calls and you left without any notice from the event that day.""I know, but if you hear me out, then maybe you will understand my reasons," Laura said, holding up her hand."Okay, you have the floor," Jason said as he took his seat a few feet away from her."I came back to town to find my mother and to find out what happened to me seven years ago," Laura said.Jason was silent as he watched her speak, his expression neutral. Laura brushed her hair behind her neck and continued to explain her mother's relationship to Lily."Suffix it to say that I found my grandmother, but I was not able to find out what happened that one night that I c

    Grace walked into Jared's office, demanding to have an audience with him."I'm sorry, ma'am, but you can't go in now; he is not on sit," the receptionist said apologetically."I know he is in there; tell him that if he does not see me now, he won't like the next news he hears," Grace responded.Having no choice, the receptionist put a call through to Jared's office again and relayed the message.After a few minutes, she dropped the phone and said, "You can go in, ma'am.""I thought as much," Grace replied, and she walked straight to the elevator.It had been radio silence since her last confrontation with Jared, but now she was going to rain down all the anger she felt within on him."I told you not to come here, Grace," Jared said as soon as Grace walked into his office."I don't give a damn what you say any longer, Jared," Grace replied with scorn."What exactly do you want, Grace?"

    Lily was surprised to hear that, so she gripped her hand tightly and asked, "What else is there that I haven't said?"Laura shook her head and replied, "No, not you; it's from me.""Oh, what is it?" Lily asked.Laura pulled her hand from Lily's grip and brushed it through her hair as she sighed deeply."Actually, I came back to town because of two things. The first was because of the note you sent to me about my mother, and the second was because I wanted to find out what happened to me about seven years ago." Laura explained.Lily's face squeezed in confusion as she asked, "Something happened to you? What might it be?""Well, I don't know either; all I know is that I got pregnant after, and that was what resulted in my father sending me away from town," Laura replied."What?" Lily exclaimed in shock."Yes, you see, I was betrothed to Jared Tuner, but my stepsister set me up that night," Laura said, explaining what Grace had told her about the same night.There was more confusion on L

    "Jason?" Tim called, wondering what was wrong."Okay, Liam, thank you for calling me. Do you know where you stay?" Jason said this on the phone.Tim realized he was talking to Laura's son and shrugged, hoping he got the answer he was looking for."No, that's fine. How is Lisa?" Jason asked.Just like magic, the hard look on Jason's face cleared as he spoke with the children. After a few minutes, the call ended."So?" Tim asked."They are leaving in two days," Jason said."What two days?" Tim replied, surprised."Yes," Jason replied, his voice sounding dejected."Oh, oh," Tim muttered."What did Gift say?" Jason asked."Nothing, just like I told you she would," Tim replied, adding, "Don't the kids know where the house is?""They don't; I think Liam called me from the card I gave him sometimes back," Jason replied."Hmm, well, I think you have tried all that you can," Tim said encouragingly.I am really going to lose Laura, Jason thought as he sat there, staring into space.*************

    When Jason walked into the office that morning, everyone who saw him knew something was wrong."Jason, you don't look so good," Tim whispered behind him as they walked through the building lobby."You look like you did not get any sleep last night," Tim added as he noticed a few people staring at Jason."That is of less concern right now, Tim; I need you to get Gift here today," Jason replied as they boarded the elevator."Gift? You mean the same Gift Hatcher?" Tim asked."Yes, I need to ask her about Laura. She mentioned some time ago that they had been childhood friends," Jason replied.Tim shook his head, knowing that was not going to be a good idea, considering the outcome of the last meeting Gift had with Jason."I can basically feel you shaking your head from here," Jason muttered."Uhm, I just don't think Gift would be a good idea; I mean, after the last time, she would not be so keen to see you." Tim explained.Jason was at his wits end, and he was only trying to hold it all t

    Jason woke up that morning with a heavy concern in his heart. He had tossed and turned through the night.The night before, he had been stunned by Tim's statement, and for a moment, his heart had frozen."What did you just say?" He had asked."Humm, I just heard from Emily, who heard from Laura's live-in nanny that Laura is leaving town," Tim had replied carefully.Jason had sat at the back of the car, stunned by the news. He had imagined a lot of outcomes from her sudden departure from the hotel, but he had not imagined that she would leave town."When did you get this information?" Jason had asked."Uhm, just before you stepped out of your office," Tim had also replied catiously."Why isn't she telling me about leaving town? Why is she suddenly avoiding me?" Jason asked himself, feeling a sinking feeling in his belly.Now, at the dawn of a new day, Jason climbed out of bed, looking dazed as he murmured, "I never thought I would feel this way."He walked over to the balcony and stare
