(Laura’s POV)

.

I just received a call from the Hospital saying that my cousin Sarah was recovering well from her facial reconstruction surgery. The bomb that had destroyed my mansion had also hurt Sarah physically. The skin on her left leg and arm were slightly burnt. It was not as bad as the bodily injury that my housekeeper Raya had to endure.

My family would pay for all the medical charges that my housekeepers and Sarah needed to get them back to normal.

Eric had helped to find the best plastic surgeon to fix Sarah’s face. I could not bear looking at her if the doctor could not fix it. I would never stop blaming myself for not being able to protect her. It was a promise I had made to her late mother and I had failed to fulfil it.

I prayed every day for her speedy recovery. Sarah was like my own sister. I loved her very much.

She did not deserve this! A tear escaped my eyes as I felt guilt and anger building up in me.

    (Vincent’s POV).I walked towards Sarah’s room and was stopped by Henry at the door. “The Hospital moved her to a bigger room yesterday. Follow me”Henry’s words surprised me. I was not informed of the change of room, “Really? Hold on. I need to check something”I went in the room that was empty with no patient in it. I looked around and saw that there was nothing unusual at the room but I needed to make sure of it.“What’s going on?” Henry whispered at me as he followed me behind quietly.“Something does not add up. The surveillance camera caught a picture of a man carrying a woman that looked like Laura. But, it does not add up. Laura could easily take that man down. I have seen her fight off men double her size” I said to Henry while pressing the wall of the room. I was not sure what I was looking for but something was telling me that the room was not quite what was expected.“What are you looking for?” Henry copied what I did and I looked at him wondering why he was following me.

After doing some research on Ashton Knight’s background, Calvin was sure Ashton Knight was someone he needed to stay far away from. But, it was also the only way for him to be near Laura, through that project.“Are you going to meet him?” Deborah, his mother asked as she stood behind him near the door.“Him? Who are you referring to, mom?” Calvin turned around and frowned. His mother seemed to surprise him much these few days. It was kind of eerie at times with her cryptic words and advises.“The man who offered you a lot of money to stay away from Laura. Ashton Knight” Deborah said casually while folding her arms on her chest, “I told you I have s

    (Laura’s POV).The door opened slightly where I could finally see a ray of light entering the pitch black room I was locked into for several days. It had hurt my eyes which made me shield them away with my bruised arm.“Move back, Laura. The door is stuck. I need to kick it” Calvin whispered his words. I wondered if he was alone or he had help. I wondered if Vincent was nearby. I really missed him so much.“Alright” I responded to Calvin and crawled backwards a little before he gave two hard kicks to open the door wide.The amount of light that came in was too bright making me closed my eyes with both hands, “Too bright, too bright”“Oh my God! What did she do to you?” I heard Calvin then cursed in French. Did he say it was a she?Who was he referring to? Cherry? Deborah? Clara? Sophie?It seemed that all my enemies were indeed females.Calvin walked in and removed his jacket to cover my shaking body from the coldness of the room. He bent down and carried my fragile body in a bridal

It was not going to help me save myself from her wrath that was coming to me.“You did read my diary! How could you do such thing” She said before her face was turning red. She was blushing and for a moment I thought I was wrong. She was not angry, she was embarrassed.Then, I recalled on what I read in her diary. I was pretty embarrassing. She wroter things about me and how she adored me all those years. There was even a picture of my younger self kept in her pink shimmering diary.“I hate you!” L

    (Laura’s POV).A month has passed. Time had moved so swiftly and my pregnant belly was starting to show.Vincent was true to his words, being by my side taking care of me and my constant need of attention. I blamed it on my pregnancy hormones. I was never like this, wanting him by my side most of the time.It had been a challenging process with me having nausea and sensitivity of things around me. I had even lost some weight as my body was rejecting some food, even those that I used to like to eat.“How are you feeling, sweetheart?” Vincent said and lifted my chin to give me a brief kiss on my lips. We were walking towards the place where we first met. A little ice cream shop in Tuscany where I had first saved him from being hit by a motorcycle.The place where I fell in a nearby ditch, stuck for almost an hour until my brother, Henry came to the rescue.

His words slipped his tongue as they waited in the car being stuck in traffic.“It is none of your concern. Please focus on your driving” Marie said while pretending to look outside the window. There was nothing else to see except for the cars on the road stuck with them in the traffic.“Do you love him? Why.. him?” Henry exhaled his breath and gripped the sterring wheel hard while controlling his anger, “I don’t get it, Marie. At one point, you did not believe in marriage. Now, you are engaged with a man I know you are definitely not in love with”Hi

I then placed my finger to check on his pulse. It was getting weaker. That made me panic for a moment.I felt his body getting cold and that frightened me further, “Vincent, please. Wake up”There was no response.I then whispered to his ears while placing my hand on his cheeks, “I know you can hear me. Please don’t leave me alone in this cold place. Please don’t leave us alone.

She looked fine, or was she pretending to look fine?I did not know her well. A deceiving woman who seemed to fight for what she believed in. And I knew all that she believed in was her being the daughter of Lucas Knight and my half-sister.“Do you realised we kind of look alike?” she said with a smile showing her perfectly shaped teeth. It was kind of scary with her eyes looking at me as if I was an object of her admiration.“We have the same eyes. Different colour though. And your hair, look” she touched her hair with one hand, “It is the same colour as mine. Do you think people would believe we are actually related?”Was she kidding me? I knew Cherry made herself look like me. She was obsessed to be me.I opened my mouth to say something but she cut me off with her words, “Laura. You want to know the truth?” Cherry smiled and sang

A large map of Rivera was spread on the table where I had marked on the potential places that Laura could be at.Something was not right. I felt a pain inside my chest. Was it Laura? Was she in trouble?I got up from my chair and walked to the drinking cabinet in my room to get a drink. A strong one I hoped to find.I hoped I could find Laura soon.
