A day later~Laurel~I called him again for the sixth time today but he didn't pick up. It was as if he had been purposely ignoring my call since yesterday and he had every right to. How could I have brought Jason to spend the night at my house, yesterday?But what could I have done?I couldn't ignore that call that came in, telling me that Jason has been in an accident and he had been detained for drunk driving. Even though we were no longer together, I couldn't have just ignored him. He was my friend and he had always been there for me. Although, like he said, part of the reason why he hasn't been himself lately was because of me. He was shattered by what I did to him. I couldn't blame him. I only blamed myself for leading him on.And now, my relationship with Kurt was paying the price for it.Fuck. Me.Gripping the bottle of hard liquor in front of me, I downed the remaining contents in the bottle and staggered over to where my fridge was, pulled out another.With a packet of cigar

~Laurel~With a smile on my face, I got down from my car, clutched my purse and walked into the Hall.The never-ending flashes of camera nearly made my sight go numb but I managed to walk through without having people jump on me. I didn't want to ditch on Freya since it was her engagement party today and she was getting married to one of Hollywood's most famous award winning actors and hundreds of celebrities were on seat. Freya was also very popular in the industry, with face and body to match. Not only that, her parents owned one of the biggest malls in the world. As soon as I stepped in, all eyes dawned on me. I wasn't nervous, not even in the slightest bit. The short silky mid-thigh red gown I wearing, hugged my curves like second skin. It had a deep V-neckline in the middle, showing off the curves of my breasts. Matching off with a black Chanel purse, were a pair of black Stuart Weitzman suede pumps. My new bronde hair was elegantly combed in a side part and tucked behind the ea

~Laurel~I was putting on my lipstick when the door opened and I saw from the mirror, the person that stepped in."I told you I didn't need help.""I never mentioned you did." Kurt said and stepped closer to me, hands thrusted into his pockets. "You're taking longer than expected.""None of your business." I spun round to face him. Without saying a word, I slowly tucked my lipstick and powder back into my bag. An awful twenty seconds of silence swept by before I spoke up. "Diana, the girl you told me about. She's here." I raised my gaze to meet his."I know. It's not rare to meet one or two past acquaintances at a party."When I didn't reply, he continued. "Tell me you're shitting me right now, Laurel.""What?""You're jealous, aren't you?" His face was void of any emotion but his voice held amusement. "I never thought there would come a day when you'd have to be so possessive of me.""Who's possessive of you? Who me?" I said and faked a laugh."Am I talking to someone else in the ro

~Laurel~Mira and I spent our Christmas holiday at Mom's. She wanted to visit my mother so badly so I took her there. Kurt followed days after. Although, we did talk, chat and catch glimpses of each other, sometimes, but things haven't changed. There was still no improvement in our relationship. Mom noticed it and talked to Kurt and I about it. After some days with mom, Kurt took us all to Barcelona, where we all had some of the greatest times of our lives.And now, Christmas was over. Work was more hectic than ever.I had spent, almost the entire January and February on my new movie. During the filming, I had to travel to Finland for photoshoots, Dublin for modeling, China for business deals and Europe for additional scenes in the movies. We were closing up on a $400 million dollar deal when Forbes announced me as one of America's richest self-made women with a whooping net worth of 3.7 billion dollars. Two years ago, my net worth was calculated at just $700million and now, with the

~Kurt~I didn't know they would think of me that way. I was right. I shouldn't have come here. Maybe I should have ditched the family crap and gotten married to Laurel in secret instead. Or maybe I should believe Khalil and not get married to Laurel this year. I still couldn't stop thinking about what he said. What if,What if something bad is bound to happen, if I get married to her now?"Kurt," a soft voice called out.I tore my gaze from the view of the sky and landed it on Wesley's mom."Beatrice? Or isn't that your name?" I didn't want to sound rude but I just couldn't avoid it.She frowned. "Of course that's my name. Or you can call me Betty if you want instead." She walked up to me and rested on the railing before exhaling out a breath, I noticed she had been holding since she appeared in front of me."To be honest with you, I never thought that you and Laurel would get back together. After everything you did to her. You know, you left her broken.""I know.'' No need to keep on

~Kurt~It has been two long hours. Two long hours since we heard the news that Laurel had gone missing on her way to church.Her mother, Helen, and Mira were left stranded in the nearby bush where we found them and even till now, there's been no information about Laurel or Lorenzo's whereabouts.I should have known. Hell, Khalil even tried to warn me. But me being a selfish bastard wanted Laurel so badly for myself and now, her life is in danger because of me."Here," Camilla handed a glass of water over to Mira who was still shaking in Lavinia's arms. Helen has been crying nonstop, blaming herself for what happened to her daughter despite the pleads from Mrs Cooper and Mrs Kingston, saying she was not to be blamed.My heart was thumping rapidly in the my chest and I didn't even notice Phil walk in along with Wesley, Liam, Damon, CSI officers, director of the CIA and a few military officers."Boss," it was Phil. "We're still searching."With my fists curled up, I got up and punched hi

~Laurel~I felt numb. Dead inside. My body ached all over. My legs. I couldn't move my legs. I let out a croaked sound when I realized that I couldn't move my legs. "My legs..." I tried sitting up but it felt as if there was no single bone in my body."Sit still ma'am," a woman hovering over me said. "You just woke up.""Where am I?" My voice was barely a whisper. A face sudden flashed in my head.Marco Lorenzo."No!" I tried moving away from him but my legs were stuck. "No! Get away from me! Please! No!""Laurel," he grinned and moved closer to touch me.I cried. "No! Please! Don't touch me!"Someone shook my shoulders repeatedly. "Laurel? Laurel. Laurel!"Marco's face was immediately replaced with Kurt's and I gripped his body, clutching his shirt for protection as my sobs became louder."It's okay, Laurel. He will never hurt you again. I promise you that the bastard would never hurt you again.""Kurt, he..they..did things to my body. They forced me to..he.." My voice faded into a

~Laurel~"So that was how the movie ended," Kurt said as soon as I rounded up telling him the Disney movie, I had watched when I was just six years old, The movie, Snow White and the seven dwarfs. "But that's just plain ridiculous." He said, pouring the batter into small rounds, onto the hot lightly greased skillet."What?" I frowned. "You didn't watch Snow-white?"He shook his head."Cinderella? Sleeping beauty? Mulan? The princess and the frog? Pocahontas? Rapunzel?"He flipped the pancakes over. "I would be lying if I said I've seen the animated movies you just mentioned."I dropped my milkshake on the kitchen counter beside me and lifted my hands in the air in defeat. "I give up. Like seriously, you've never? Or perhaps, you've seen them and maybe, you've forgotten you did?""My mom..." He stopped. Then continued flipping the pancakes over till they were a golden brown. "Told me stories about them before. But I dislike all Disney movie because they only hint at one thing, love. So

~Laurel~That night, I couldn't sleep. I just kept thinking about what Jason said and how much it must have affected Kurt. It wasn't his first time to hear people say such things about him for sure, but it must have really made him upset, knowing the things were being said directly to me, a woman he was supposed to marry.I stared at the moon and stars in the sky when I arrived in the balcony.Absentmindedly, I rubbed the bracelet attached to my arm by Camilla and closed my eyes, feeling cold and hungry all of a sudden. I got up and headed to the kitchen. I hadn't eaten anything all day and if Kurt knew, he definitely would be mad for sure. He hated when I skip meals. I was pulling out a two cans of milk from the fridge when I heard someone shuffling through something. And then the lights flipped on. Dawning on me red-handed."Fuck.'' I cursed when I saw Kurt staring at me unbelievably. I ignored his stares and turned around, then shoved the two cans of milk back into the fridge."You

Laurel~"Laurel! Laurel Hyde!""Laurel Hyde, is that really you? After all these weeks, where have you been?! Laurel! Laurel Hyde!""Kurt Kenton's been in this hospital for almost a week now. And you're only coming to see him now?! Laurel?!""Laurel Hyde, is it true that Bella Daniel is responsible for what happened to your lover?! Is this her way of getting revenge?! Why are you here to see Mr Kenton now?! Where have you been?! Have you been out? Out of the country?!""Laurel Hyde, is it true that you were abducted on your wedding day?"I clutched mom's arm. My heart beating rapidly."Is it true that you were abused on your wedding day? Do you have any idea who the person is?! Are you a rape victim?"I suddenly felt like collapsing. All the air in my body was slowly moving out through my mouth. It felt as if someone was choking me."Well, what do you have to say out there to women who's been through the same problem as you? What is your motivational message to women who's been abuse
