All Chapters of Entangled with a Baby: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“The property listings and the property valuation on this presentation doesn’t align. How on earth am I to go into that meeting and present all these? Coupled with the abstract project development plans! ” King complained to a panicking Brian as they went over the deliverables to be discussed at the meeting. Brian loosened his tie for the umpteenth time that afternoon before coming up with a reply “Well technically you’re not the one doing the presentation. Didn’t you say Laura agreed to what ever stupid idea you proposed to her?” “And where is the Laura? I doubt she would be coming. Look, it’s past 2pm already! The investors and other delegates are already getting seated in the board room. I guess I’ll have to handle all this myself.” The day had gone faster than King had expected. And far worse than he imagined. Living life without a secretary or a personal assistant wasn’t ideal for him in any way. “Don’t you have her number? You can call you know? Check if all is alright w

The previous night ended quite surprisingly for Laura. Narrating her ordeal to Maddie and Dave she got to find out that they knew all what he had to say since he had already been to the house earlier on. And what got her pondering right now as she stood in front of King's gigantic gate was the fact that her uncle seemed to be in the know of whatever he wanted to discuss with her.When she had probed further all Dave could offer was a laugh and a shrug saying he was not in the position to reveal.Checking her phone to see the time is just two minutes past 4pm. Laura breathed out a huge sigh. She knew what his days were like and she decided to come at a time when she guessed he would be back home resting.With a pounding heart and her short yellow stripped sunflower dress she pressed the buzzer. Announcing her arrival.After passing through the gate and nervously greeting Alex and Andre by the way, she got to the front door. And before she could say jack, King opened the door for her to

Yes, Dave was in support of the marriage idea but he wasn’t sure if that what was Laura would want for herself. She was still having a hard time discovering her self, and at this age with not much exposure? Could she handle such commitment?. The clouds are barely out. With Laura lying on her bed and Dave sitting by her side they have a mind rapport over her new reality.“Are you really going to go through with it? I know you to be a lover girl, would you really forfeit the prospect of ever being loved? Just because you got pregnant for your boss?” Dave worried.“ I could always leave after having the baby. It’s no big deal Dad, we can make this work.” Taking his hands and offering him a cheeky smile she replied reassuringly for the zillionth time that morning.Call me delusional but I’m going to make him fall for me! “I’m not in support of you leaving! Don’t talk about that. Can’t you see how my marriage ended with Maddie’s mum? She left me for someone else in the most shocking way.

King was appalled by his sister’s frigid behavior towards Laura. He was ready to have her dealt with immediately but it was her event.“Anne do you have a problem with the fact that she was my housekeeper?” Seething, he questioned.“Or the fact that she’s carrying my child.” He added, knowing that information alone would get his sister sobered up.On hearing that, Anne’s jaw dropped as recognition dawned on her face. Everyone in the family was well aware of Kings predicament after he lost his girlfriend years ago. Anne immediately lost all veins of anger and stared at Laura with apologetic eyes.“I had no idea.” Anne mumbled.Stacey on the other end wasn’t liking the shift. She stood beside Anne, outraged as she cleared her throat trying to get them back on track. But Anne wasn’t bulging.“Once again, meet my girlfriend and the mother to my unborn child. Laura Ferguson. In case you were wondering, yes we are very much in love ” King stated, addressing both Stacey and his sister. Holdi

I cannot loose her. Not again.The mixed feelings going through King at the moment took him back to the night five years ago when the love of his love had died in a car accident. It left him shattered and he most certainly doesn’t want to go down that path ever.She was immediately rushed to the hospital and fortunately it wasn’t too late. He had stayed by her side all night. And right now she was sleeping, he decided to step out to smoke. He made a pact with himself long time ago never to smoke or drink again but with event of things these days he was screwed up mentally.Initially he didn’t want to pick up the smoke, but after getting a call from Starry early hours of that morning telling him that his had had gone beserk again in jail and was asking for him. If he did not go to see his father any time soon, the old man might be sending another ‘message’. King’s was skeptical getting Laura involved in the darkness of his life.But she was carrying his child! He contended with himself
