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
Laura's POV“Good morning to you Ms Laura,” Doctor Shane said the moment he walked into my ward. I was already dressed and Eric was in front of me with few stuffs. I was getting discharged today.“Good morning, Doctor Shane,” I flashed a smile at him. “You'll be getting discharged today, were you informed?” Doctor Shane asked me before staring at Eric.“Yeah, I told her,” Eric replied, and I nodded in agreement.“That's good, now we offer you safe precautions tips. We don't want you to fall victim of another damage, Ms Laura. Do not risk your health, be mindful of things you do and hear around you and also what you eat. And Mr Eric...” The Doctor paused, shifting his gaze to Eric. “Do not tell her things that might cause risk to her and don't make her think alot. She doesn't need stress, this can result harm in her.” He continued.“I will make sure of that, Doctor Shane,” Eric responded to him as I left the bed, ready to leave.“Thanks for your concerns, Doctor Shane.” I thanked him.
Laura's POV“What are you doing, Sasha?” I asked as Sasha kept sniffing, tension suddenly growing in the room until the entrance door burst open behind us and Agatha walked in.“Laura! Thank goodness you're back!” She exclaimed, widening her hands to give me a hug and I responded. Sasha used the opportunity to clean her face as she stood up, flashed me a smile and then scurried away.Eric glanced at me before disappearing out of our sight too. I guessed he had something to fix with his company or so.My eyes returned to Agatha, who kept searching my eyes and body as if looking for something. “You don't even look like someone who just arrived from the hospital,” She drawled, pulling me to one of the couches.My eyes wandered around again, my fingers fiddling against one another. I haven't seen Larry around yet.“Laura,” Agatha's voice brought me back to present. “Um, I'm alright. The Doctor said I just need to be careful with my health, that's not a big deal,” I told her, managing a s
