LAURA'S POV I walked into his office and stopped in my tracks when his cold eyes met mine. "What are you doing here?" he snapped angrily as he set his files on the table and stared at me like I was a ruthless woman, deserving no pity. "I... wanted to explain myself, Bryan," I stuttered, and he scoffed loudly, laughing bitterly. "Explain yourself? Isn't that a little too late right now?" he asked sarcastically. "You hid things, Laura, not just things, you watched me break down every single time!" he yelled, and I looked away. "I thought my involvement with the mafia was your reason for backing out of the relationship. You lied," he continued, bringing up the past. "I had to do it," I mumbled as my eyes stung with tears. "You're a slave to the mafia, Laura!" he roared angrily as he moved away from the table. "I don't want you anymore. I've learned to live with the fact that I'll never matter to you in this journey of life," he said as his eyes filled with tears. He's

LAURA'S POVWith each step I took towards my room, my heart bled. Everything was just too much for me, my head felt heavy, and my heart felt like it would rip out at any moment."Babe, is everything okay?" Julie inquired after I got into the room."What happened?" she questioned, concern etched on her face, and I noticed she was genuinely worried."He found out, he found out everything... Bryan doesn't want to see me anymore... he hates me," I repeated over and over again as I cried."That's not true, babe. I believe he can never hate you, he's just upset..." she reassured me while rubbing my back calmly, but I refused to believe it. She walked out of my room and brought a glass of water for me."C'mon, drink up, dear. You look like you want to pass out," she urged, handing me the glass of water."He doesn't want to see me anymore, he said he's done," I stared again."He probably said that because you hurt him way too much, Laura. Everyone knows just how much he loves you," she ex

BRYAN'S POV"I'll be outside until you are ready to talk," she announced as I looked at her in disbelief. How can she be so stubborn? But isn't this what you always wanted? I thought as I rubbed my face tiredly. I frowned as a heavy downpour began; the noise outside was overwhelming. She must have gone by now; she’s not crazy enough to stand outside in the rain, is she? I wondered, and I walked toward the door. As soon as I opened it, my eyes widened to see her standing right there. Soaked from head to toe, she hugged herself tightly as her hair fell over her face, staring at me with her innocent eyes. "What are you doing in the rain, you stubborn woman?" I scolded before I could stop myself. Is she trying to kill me or what? "You asked me to leave. I'm not leaving until you take me back," she muttered, and my eyes softened. "You're going to get sick," I said as I stepped into the rain, too. "What are you doing?" she asked in surprise. "I'm doing what you're doing,

LAURA'S POV"We can't do it again. I'm someone's daughter, Mr. Funch," I stated, and he threw his head backward as he laughed crazily."I'm someone's son too, love," he replied, and I smiled."What's with you and these sweet names? The last time I checked, you hated me," I remarked, arms folded and eyebrows raised."I was protecting myself from actually letting my feelings for you control me," he answered, kissing my temple."So you never hated me?" I inquired, playing with my fingers."I can never hate you' I just felt hurt," he responded calmly."Which I had no right to feel in the first place. I'm sorry," I expressed, and he smiled."We have a lot to talk about, but first, let's freshen up," he suggested, carrying me in his arms. I couldn't help but smile at the baby-girl treatment.He helped me get ready and applied lotion to my skin. I helped wash his hair, and he held my wrist when I tried to go downwards."Don't..." he warned with his strained voice."Why?" I wondered, confused

BRYAN'S POV"Fine, I will set things straight with her," I stated calmly."I'm sorry for her, she doesn't deserve any of this," she remarked, and I smiled in her direction."Stop thinking about sad things. C’mon," I urged her, and she smiled, her smile melting my heart in the process.We spent the whole day in my mansion. We even made love again late in the evening and decided to leave the next morning. She cooked Italian dishes for dinner, after which we slept cuddling each other.The next morning, I drove us down to the estate."Bye," she whispered softly as she kissed my lips before heading in her direction. As I made my way to my room, I bumped into Steph."Hey, Sis," I uttered, my cheeks heating with a blush."Laura, huh?" she teased."Who?" I replied, feigning innocence."Oh, please, bro, I saw the romantic gesture. So you guys are finally together again?" she probed again, and I rubbed my forehead."Not exactly, we're still working on it," I answered, and she smiled."Make thin

LAURA'S POV"You'll never be happy! Shameless woman, you think you can take him away from his family. I have his child, I have his daughter! What do you have?" I sat on his bed as her words echoed in my ears. My eyes stung with unshed tears. I was trying my best to hold them back.Her words hurt so bad, it felt like my heart was stabbed over and over again with a knife."That's ENOUGH!" Bryan shouted angrily as he walked her out of his room."You can't say such things to her," I overheard him speaking as he got outside the room."Oh, really? She deserves to hear more after throwing herself at my man!" she yelled. I knew she wanted me to hear everything. I knew I was guilty."She doesn’t know how it feels because she has no child. If she did, she'd know how Ruby will feel without a complete family! You're selfish, Laura!" she screamed, and tears rolled down my face.She was right. I don’t know what having a family feels like. I’ll never know how it feels to have a child of my own.My h

I turned to him with a bright smile."Hey," he murmured softly."Are you okay?" I inquired sweetly as I walked over to where he stood."I should be asking you, my joy," he remarked. I stood on my tiptoes and kissed his lips softly, making my heart warm up."I'm fine if you're fine, my crown," I stated. He pulled me into his arms and kissed me sweetly. Pulling me closer by the waist, I felt nothing but his sweetness. I’ve never felt more at peace."I was scared you'd shut me out again," he confessed after a while, and I frowned."Really? I'm sorry," I apologized, staring into his eyes."Why?" he probed, holding my hands."I'm sorry for shutting you out and hurting you. You
