~ LAURA’S POV

That was such a close call. For a second, I thought Theo might actually sense the underlying issues in my family, but thankfully, he didn’t. When he walked into the house, I smelt his perfume making me aware that he couldn’t back. I had to quickly shift things and force a smile and act like everything was perfect like I had this complete, happy family. I could see the pain in his eyes as he took in our situation, and even though it tore me apart to see him hurting like that, I had to keep my guard up. I couldn’t let him see just how messed up everything really was.

The moment Theo left, Christian turned to me, his expression hard and intense. "Theo, huh?" he said, his voice low and dangerous.

"What?" I questioned, feeling the tension rising. I knew that Christian was angry, especially with the way he was glaring at me and Theo, not to mention he asked Theo to stay back for dinner, he definitely did that so he could observe the two of us.

    His expression darkened, a storm brewing in his eyes that made my heart race. "Well, you are about to see the worst side of me now." The air between us crackled with tension, and although this wasn’t the first time he’d threatened me, it frightened me to witness him consumed by such raw anger. I could feel the ache in my chest as I braced myself for what might come next.I thought he was coming for me with an attack, but suddenly he spun around and stormed toward Ariana’s room, banging on the door and shouting her name. I felt a surge of adrenaline as I rushed after him. "What the hell do you think you’re doing?" I shouted, my voice filled with urgency. He didn’t respond, just ignored me completely and kept pounding on the door. I could hear Ariana crying from behind it, which made my heart race; Christian is scaring her. I tried to pull him away from the door, but he shoved me back with surprising force. Then, without warning, he started kicking the door like he was determined to

    I sat there, tears streaming down my face, overwhelmed by the weight of my thoughts. I felt like a complete failure; I had failed as a mother. My daughter was crying and screaming, her little voice was filled with fear, and all I could do was urge her to run. I can still recall how she looked at me, with wide, terrified eyes, and my heart shattered knowing I couldn't shield her from the danger. The panic in her face haunted me, and I felt so powerless in that moment, trapped in my own despair.I am not a good mother because a good mother protects her daughter, a good mother makes her daughter happy and I couldn’t do that, I couldn’t even remember her birthday. More tears streamed down my face, and I curled my legs to my chest, clutching my arms tightly around my knees. Resting my head on my knees, I let the sobs escape, feeling utterly lost. It hurt so deeply that I couldn’t take care of my daughter. Ariana is all I have, and the weight of my fear paralyzes me, making me feel incapa

    ~ FLASHBACK There are certain things that really hold me back, and when I think about them, I feel awful and completely miserable about my actions. Sometimes, I wish I could go back in time and change things, but I can’t because when I had the chance to do that. As the rain poured heavily outside, my tears fell with it, mingling with the storm. It was a chaotic day at home with my mom and just like every other day, voices were being raised. Crying, I turned to her and said, "How do you expect me to go back to that house and live with the man who hit me?" My voice trembled with fear and desperation. I couldn't bear the thought of returning home to complain to her about Christian hitting me only for her to tell me to stay with him. "The same way I’m living with mine. This is marriage, Laura, and you have to accept it as it is," she said softly, her voice laced with resignation. I could see the years of her own struggles reflected in her eyes, but it only made me feel more isolated.

    Another day at work couldn’t feel more exhausting, especially with Theo in the room with me. I keep my gaze fixed on my laptop, fingers tapping away as I type out a project prompt that Theo insisted I work on. The workload is overwhelming, but as his secretary, and given that the last person in my position managed similar tasks, I feel like I have no choice but to wade through the mountain of assignments he piles on me every day. Yet, a nagging question keeps creeping into my mind: why did Theo offer me this job back?I know for a fact he didn’t do it out of goodwill; he never acts without a hidden agenda. I'm almost certain there's a reason behind his decision, and if I'm not being paranoid, that reason probably won’t bode well for me. I’ve been toying with the idea of asking him about it, but I hesitate. I can already picture his response—something that could be so hurtful it might leave me wanting to cut off all communication with him.Trying to shake off those thoughts, I force my

It felt like everything had been stripped away from her life when she left me, but I couldn't help but wonder—what was really taken from her?After a moment of reflection, I asked, "What do you mean by that?"Laura didn’t bother to respond; she simply glanced at me, her gaze heavy with unspoken thoughts, and sighed deeply. I felt the urge to press further, "Why did you say that?"She hesitated, the silence stretching between us like a chasm, before finally speaking, "Because you have no idea what it took from me."I scoffed at her words, feeling a surge of frustration. It seemed like she was just playing the victim. "You left me, Laura. I didn’t leave you. You chose to marry someone else when we were supposed to get married. You broke my heart, and I never broke yours."She sighed again, her voice tinged with a mixture of regret

    Done with the drinks, I let Kelly drive me back to work while Jamil took my car to pick up some stuff from the warehouse downtown. I honestly can't remember the last time I let Kelly drive me anywhere.

    I noticed something on her wrist that looked suspiciously like a bruise. Before I could react, she quickly slid down her sleeves, covering it up, leaving me with a sense of concern I couldn't shake off.My brows furrowed in confusion as I reached out again, but she moved away as if trying to hide something. Confused, I asked, "What’s that, Ariana?"She looked at me, her eyes swelling with innocence, and said, "Nothing." Her voice was so soft, almost like she was trying to convince herself."It can’t be nothing if you’re hiding it," I replied, my concern growing stronger.She frowned, maintaining her innocent facade, and said, "No, I’m not." I sighed heavily, feeling the weight of the moment. "I’m not gonna force you to show me, but I just want to see so I can help you. Can you please let me see?"For a moment, she was silent, her gaze flickering between my eyes and the ground. I reached out gently and slowly this time, and to my relief, she let me hold her hand.

    I reached out, my fingers brushing against the delicate skin under her eyes, and she flinched slightly, a soft whine escaping her lips, confirming my deepest fears. Behind her makeup lay a scar. My body instantly backed down as my heart began pounding in my chest. I looked at her in utter shock. I can’t believe that for so long, I didn’t notice the scar- she was hiding it under that makeup like she always did back in high school. Laura must have realized I noticed her scar because she quickly covered her eyes with her hand. "Theo, what the hell!" she uttered, turning away from me, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and vulnerability.I didn’t realize my eyes were welled up with tears until I felt the warmth of a tear sliding down my cheek. The weight of the moment hit me hard; I couldn’t believe Laura was hurting. Memories rushed back, flooding my mind with images of her past struggles and the deep pain she had fought so hard to overcome the abuse of her father. "Laura," I sig
