"You don't really have to, Jason; if it's something personal, I'm sure you don't want to tell a stranger about it," Laura said.Jason was silent as he stared her in the eyes for a few seconds before saying, "Laura, you are no stranger."Laura walked over to him and pulled him to sit beside her as she replied, "Okay, I'm all ears."Laura could see the struggle in his eyes. She had never seen such a look on his face, but the fact that she could forget about her own issues and focus on his was something she was grateful for."Something happened to me seven years ago," Jason murmured."Seven years ago?" Laura asked carefully to be sure she had heard him right."Yes," Jason replied.That was around the same time I was sent out of town, Laura thought as she reached out and took his hands."What happened?"

Grace was silent for a few minutes before she finally responded, "Yes, I did."Jared stared at her silently before he finally stepped back from her and said, "Let's hope that your act of bravery does not cost us all.""Isn't that why I want to tell you the details of what we spoke about? I assumed you would want to know that I had resolved it, and you don't have to worry about being corned by her," Grace replied."You know what, Grace? I think it's time you leave. Thank you for dropping by and letting me know the atrocities you've committed," Jared replied."That's enough; I've been at this for how long?

Grace asked."I don't want to talk about this, Grace; you should go," Jared replied, walking towards his door."You are going to talk about it, Jared. My family apologized about Laura all those years ago, but you were h*ll bent on the fact that she was th

Laura's hand was already on the knob when she heard what Teressa said, so she turned to face her."A message? From who?" She aksed."What message?"

Laura stood up from her seat and asked, "Who did you just say is here?""It's Mr. Jerry Philips, and he is insisting on seeing you," Audrey replied.Laura shook her head in dismay at the fact that her father had chosen to come cause a scene at her workplace."Let him in," Laura instructed, knowing well that was the only way to end it all.He had gone to the hotel, and then here he was again; if she didn't see him, he wouldn't back down."Are you sure?"

Jason asked, not replying to her statement."I feel really suspicious that you have summoned me to your office, which is really unlike you, Jason," Gift said, walking over to one of the couches and taking her seat."I believe asking you how you are is because it's been a while since I saw you," Jason stated."And that is totally not my fault,

"Hello Laura," Lily said, walking towards Laura with so much agility."Lily? What are you doing here?" Laura asked before she realized how her words must sound."Oh, I see someone isn't glad to see me," Lily said with a chuckle."Uhm, of course not. I'm sorry it sounded like that.

It's quite late," Laura said."I know, come, let's sit over there," Lily said, walking over to the same couch where Laura had spoken to her father."Okay, I hope everything is good," Laura replied as she took a seat beside Lily."Yes, it is; I was on m

Jason and Tim looked up to see Shawn walk into the office with a smug, satisfying look on his face."Here comes trouble," Tim muttered to himself before looking at Jason to see his reaction."Oh, god, not now," Jason murmured under his breath as he saw Shawn approach him.Jason's expression became neutral to ensure that Shawn did not catch on to what was happening, or else he knew it was not going to play out fine.Whatever he was here to do, mostly, was not good, and Jason knew this."Hello, little brother," Shawn said."Hello Shawn, the meeting room is on the other end of the building," Jason replied."Oh, I know, I'm just here to expel you from the office, you know, because I know you probably won't be seeing it again," Shawn said, a wicked grin on his face.Jason stood there staring at him, wondering what the hell he was playing at."If you will excuse me, I have some things I need to tidy up here before I join everyone at the meeting; if you don't mind, you can head over there by

Laura looked confused as she called out, "Hello Tim, is everything okay?"There was no answer, and then the call went off.

I think I should have gotten a report on them," Lauara said."Humm, the majority of them work within the North Corporation.

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.

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?"

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?

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.

I called to speak with her," Jason replied.Lily looked back, and to her dismay, Laura was gone.
