Aaron's POVFuck it. I couldn't close my eyes to sleep for the night despite how hard I tried to. The cold tiled floor showed no mercy to my back as I kept cursing every passing minute. These morons made me lie on the floor while they stayed on the bed, snoring their ass out.“Dammit,” I couldn't take it anymore as I stood up and walked to the bed they laid in the cell. How could I be treated like a slave in this hole?A tissue paper was hanging on the floor, I picked up slowly and placed it into the mouth of the first one who had his mouth wide open from snoring.“What the fuck!” He jumped up, sending me to the wall. I groaned when my back collided with the wall. These morons should take it easy when bullying someone else.“Why did you do that?! Didn't they teach you lessons?!” He roared at me, and when I made to retaliate, he grabbed my fist in his palms like it was nothing and welcomed me with a punch on the stomach.“Fuck!!!” I winced out. The other four waking up from their slumb
Laura's POVStriding out of the bathroom, I put on one of the comfortable dresses Eric had bought for me. Ever since he found out about my pregnancy, he had made it a must for me to rest every single day and how he comes to check up on me every hour. Whenever he's at work, Sasha or Larry would be the one checking up on me.Right, we were to be expecting Agatha too. When she got the news that I was pregnant, and we were going to be throwing a celebration today, she booked a flight back to America as soon as possible. As for Mrs Corazon, she postponed her charity event that was to be held in another state simply to look after me.The thought of them caring about me brought tears to my eyes as I stared at my reflection in front of the mirror. Initially, I have the best family around me.My eyes took in my tummy, as I imagined my baby bump. I smiled cheekily. “Mummy will do her possible best to keep you safe from harm, baby. I promise you, you'll come into this world, and we'll cherish yo
Laura's POVI felt my world crumbled apart as I watched Larry's retreating figure walk out of my room. I didn't know if he was right even though I didn't actually want to believe he seemed correct. From his words and look in his eyes, I knew he was pained, and it only brought tears to my eyes as I held unto the dressing table for support. He was disappointed in me, I failed to bring back Mum. I didn't even know where she was or who had captured her. The anonymous caller seemed to be toying with me more and isn't ready to give me back my Mum. Larry has always been closer to Mum, and I'd been closer to Dad, and I understood his tone and pain of speaking to me harshly earlier.I felt worthless, useless. Never for once, have I tried to save Mum. What if they had really killed her? What if she never returns back to us like Larry pointed out? Oh—God. “I'm so worthless, I couldn't even look for her. I'm worthless!” I cried out, smashing the glass of juice in my hand on the wall as it shatt
Laura's POV“Congratulations, Laura,” Agatha squealed excitedly, coming towards me. For a moment, I was left astonished. Last time I checked, Agatha and I weren't on too good terms, even though she apologized to me and eventually left the country for relaxation.Immediately, I covered my surprised countenance with a forced smile and looked at Eric.“You told her?” I whispered to him, cocking my brows and he nodded. “Of course, Mum's coming over and Dad... He's actually busy,” He replied.“Oh,” I mouthed.Not like Mr. Landon would show up to celebrate with us, though. Always a stern looking man. I see why Eric has always been trying to impress him, even if he doesn't deserve to be impressed.“Hi, Agatha.” I waved awkwardly at her as she dropped few things she brought along with her on the table before facing us with a glowing skin. Agatha was pretty, and her glowing skin had just left an impressive look of her vacation outside in the country. Gosh, I couldn't believe I was suddenly je
Sasha's POVI couldn't believe I did this for someone like Laura. Mrs Corazon who arrived few minutes ago together with Eric had been coaxing the maids and I to arrange the decorations in the guest room for Laura as some sought of celebration.To my uttermost dismay, she was pregnant. Dammit, it didn't have to go this way. No one expected her to be pregnant. Why would she be?The last time I got into her room, I'd pretended to care even though I knew I didn't care if she'd break her whole room. When she called herself worthless, there was a glint of excitement in my eyes, but I shoved it off and acted like I was worried. Thankfully, she was just realizing how worthless she was and how more she'd become. When she bled, I would rather not give a damn about her health. I didn't care if she bled until she died there. I just wanted her away, out of the Sloan. After she chased me out of her room, I was heading to my room unbothered until Eric asked how she was doing, and I had to spew thin
Laura's POVI felt something weird rumbling in my stomach, my eyes couldn't focus on the food I was eating as the family rambled on and on. Few minutes ago, I'd been eating, but now I found myself on the floor, blood leaving my mouth, my hands holding my tummy.“Laura!!!” Larry was the first person to scream as Eric rushed to my side. I didn't know what was wrong with me either, but I felt like I was dying as blood kept leaving me. My eyes caught Sasha, who stood there, feigning a worried expression I couldn't decipher. I didn't know whether she had done something to me or not and this wasn't the time to question her. Besides, this wasn't the first time she has been dishing out meals for us.“Laura, are you okay? Come on, let's take you to the hospital. You'll be fine,” Eric hauled me up in a bridal style, tears brimming in my eyes. I kept forcing my eyes to stay open despite the pains I felt were too much for me to bear. My baby... What's happening?“E-Eric,” My lips quivered as I cl
Laura's POVTried to poison me? I stared at Eric with a fazed expression, my mind reeling with different thoughts of who might have attempted to end my life, but I couldn't think of anymore who'd want to do that. Who would want to take my life? “I don't know,” I mumbled, shaking my head as different thoughts went through me. He sighed, digging his fingers into my hair. “Do you have anyone against you? I mean, I'm ready to get that person behind bars for your sake. Don't cover up for the person, say it, Laura.” He whispered again and I exhaled.I couldn't think of anyone except only one person which was Sasha. Sasha served the meal, I couldn't point fingers at her yet because we all ate from the same food, so why was I the only one affected?I understand Eric's point on the other hand. He was willing to do anything to anyone who had put Me and our baby at risk moments back, and I wanted the same. Anyone who might have tried to get rid of me to get behind bars. “I can't still think a
Sasha's POV“Jackpot!” I cheered the moment I stepped into my room and shut the door so no one would hear me. I couldn't stop the joy that overflowed in me as I kept reminiscing about the last moment I saw Laura's expression and wail on the floor.Gosh, my plan worked, and now I prayed she was no more and so was the child she was carrying. My plan absolutely worked! “Yeah, yeah, yeah, go baby,” I danced according to the tune of the song that played on the Bluetooth. Laura was out of the way, who's next? Eric or his entire family? I burst out laughing. How good does it feel to pay them back and see them suffer?“By now, they'd be in tears, crying their eyes out at dead Laura. Gosh, you're so smart, Sasha!” I hailed myself, smacking my head as I giggled, swirling my waist to the rhythm of the song.I wanted to tell Aaron about my plan which had just worked perfectly well, but then I remembered he wasn't allowed to make call unless permitted to which only caused me to frown, scoffing a
