Matthew?“Hi Laura.. wow, it’s been a while.” He smiled at her, still panting a bit as he tried to regain his breath.“Hi..Uhmm..” Laura’s phone pinged. It was a message from King asking her if she was done yet.Did Maddie call him?Laura was so lost in thought. She didn’t know what to reply him. She didn’t want to lie either.She wasn’t capable of lying to King.“Anything the matter..” Matthew had jerked her out of her thoughts.“Yhhh..uhh.. No. just give me a minute.” Laura moved aside from him and sent King a message. Telling him that she was almost done and would soon head home.What if he asked of Maddie. Damn! He wouldn’t want her to enter public transport. And what the hell was Matthew doing here. She pondered. Turning her attention back to him.“Sorry about that.. “ her voice flat.“No problem at all. So good to see you again. And in my hospital at that? Wow!” Matthew exclaimed lightly. Demonstrating with his hands as he showed his surprise.His what?!! His hospital?..“Real

Laura’s heart dropped to her stomach.Why wouldn’t a day just go by without Laura encountering one ugly surprise or the other.Laura couldn’t stop herself from thinking about how the pregnancy looked so good on Stephanie. It was enviable! The way she carried herself. Almost unbelievable.“Lu?.. “ Maddie’s pinched Laura back to reality.“Hmmm..”What the hell was Stephanue doing in the cafe?! So comfortable. Balanced like she owned the place. Her dark shades in place. The bitch even bad guts to light up another cigarette. Laura wanted to drag her by her hair out of the cafe.Was she there to cause trouble? Who does she fucking thing she is?! Laura was biting on her cheeks rather too hard, still rooted in the spot. They were in a staring contest. But Stephanie was winning with the obvious smirk plastered on her face.“Laura!?..” Maddie pulled harder this time, shaking her out of her trance.“I think we should just ignore her Madds.. come on, let’s go.” Laura hissed, walking away in a h

Anne wasn’t supposed to get into this web…The McGorritth’s as a family had never been in this much turmoil. King’s heart was in his mouth. Lana was still very much scared of the current happenings. Starry was doing all he could to shield the family’s company from falling into a ruin. With the back to back attacks on King and his wife, everyone in the family had been extremely careful. King suspected that Stephanie was definateky behind the motorcycle threats on Laura.They were due for a family meeting!When Greg had heard of what happened to Laura. His immediate response was “She should be dead instead..” that had got King furious. Both brothers still had the score to settle. King was still yet to forgive him on what he did to Laura. They could have lost their baby! Greg the mistake of a brother was busy pulling all strings to end his father’s life. And then there was Anne. The prodigal sister.Anne McGorritth, against King’s warnings for her to be extra careful. She was indiffer

“Hey, have you heard from Anne?” Greg asked as he barged into King’s office without knocking, his voice tight with concern.King didn't bother looking up from his laptop, his expression bored. “No, she’s avoiding us. And to teach her a lesson, I blocked all her credit cards. Let her sweat a little.”Greg blinked twice, clearly thrown aback as his brows knitted together. “Okay, first of all, bold move. Second, she texted me earlier saying she was back in the country and asked me to pick her up soon. That doesn’t sound like someone who’s avoiding us.”King froze for a second, his fingers hovering over the keyboard lightly. The calm expression on his face began to crack slightly. “What are you saying? Are you kidding?”“I’m dead serious. She said she'd call again when she was ready. But now, nothing. I’ve tried calling her, but she isn’t answering. That's… not Anne.” Greg muttered, his tone dipping into worry.King leaned back in his chair, rolling his eyes until his gaze shifted to the

Kingston McGorrith was not the kind of man you would expect to see juggling shareholder documents with baby-shopping plans at the back of his mind, but here he was, sitting at his mahogany desk, scrolling through spreadsheets like his life depended on it. And maybe it did. Between managing his multi-billion-dollar empire and making sure his pregnant wife was happy, this man was booked, busy, and his borderline was completely burned out.His office was quiet except for the sound coming from the faint hum of the air conditioner and the occasional ping of his phone. His assistant had just dropped off the finalized documents for Laura’s announcement as a shareholder, and King had to admit—it felt so unreal. Laura wasn’t just the mother of his unborn child; she was about to become part of his business, his legacy. The thought made him smile that rare but genuine smile that softened his usually sharp facial features.“Everything looks solid,” Brian said, leaning back in his chair as he flip
