Laura's Point of View"Are you really sure about this?" my best friend, Jamaica Raven, asks. "Maybe you're just hurt and making a quick decision.""There's no way I'm rushing this after everything I've been through, Jam.And..." I place my hand on my stomach and smile. "If I stay, I might lose myself and my twins. They're my reason to keep on going."Jamaica sits on the bed and holds my hand, smiling at me. "Well, if that's what you want, you know I'll always support you.""Thank you, Jam. For not leaving me," I reply tearfully and hug her. As we hug, we both glance at the side table. My phone rings.Unknown number calling...Even though I deleted the number from my contacts, I still know who it is.Without hesitation, I answer, "What do you want, Kairo?""Stop it already. Aren't you tired of this? You're just wasting my time acting like a baby," Kairo says, sounding frustrated."A waste of time for you, maybe, but not for me!" I snap back. "If you don't want to waste your time, then

Laura's Point of View"Congratulations, Laura! You won't believe it, but you're having twins!" Dr. Fernandez exclaims.I blink, staring at the monitor in shock. "C-can you repeat that?""Well, this is quite exciting. Having two beautiful babies, don't you think?" she says with a smile."It is. I just can't believe it..." Tears well up in my eyes, and I can't help but rub my belly. I'm overwhelmed with joy."Thank you, Doc. These angels... they're giving me a reason to live.""Laura, while this is wonderful news, we need to be cautious. You're not in the best shape right now, and stress could affect the babies," the doctor says, jotting down a prescription. "Here are some vitamins you should take. Make sure you get plenty of rest, and most important of all, trying to avoid stress."I take the paper she hands me and stop her before she leaves. "Doctor, there's something I need to ask. I hope you can help me.""What is it?" she asks, curious. "Could you not tell Kairo about the twins?" I

Laura's Point of ViewI clutch my belly with one hand while gripping the paper bag containing Kairo's lunch with the other.Stepping into the elevator, I press the button for his floor. As the metallic walls close around me, the air seems to thicken. My breaths become shallower, and a faint sheen of sweat forms on my forehead.To be honest, I'm not so thrilled to see Kairo after what happened last night.(Start of Flashback)"Are you with Faith?""Yeah," he replies, sounding utterly indifferent."But... why? I thought"Stop overthinking, Laura," he cuts me off, his tone flat. "Faith got drunk and couldn't drive, so I took her to the hotel. Once she sobers up, I'll head to my meeting.""Can't you come home tonight? I'll wait for you 11"Enough! You don't understand how important this meeting is!" he snaps before hanging up.(End of Flashback)And that's how our conversation ended.I stare at my reflection in the elevator doors, noticing the dark circles under my eyes. I just couldn't s

Laura's Point of ViewArriving at the Jackson villa, I can't stop thinking about Kairo with Faith. Their images together keep flashing in my mind. My chest tightens, and I feel like I'm getting sick all of a sudden.I sit in the car for a few minutes, tears streaming down my face. After gathering myself, I finally entered the mansion.As I walk up the stairs, I hear a voice behind me. "You're home early. Where's Kairo?"I turn around to see Sara Jackson, my mother-in-law, looking disgusted. "Where's Kairo? Why are you alone?""I'm not feeling well, so I went home first to rest," I reply weakly.Her eyebrow arches and her lips press into a thin line."Is your condition really bad, or are you just making excuses because you're lazy and want to take it easy?""Take it easy?" I react in disbelief."What kind of wife can't even go to a simple event with my son?" She rolls her eyes and folds her arms. "He's just wasting his money on you. You're useless."I should be numb to this by now. Aft

Laura's Point of ViewI'm stuck at the end of the banquet hall, poking at the ice in my drink. It's better than listening to the laughter and easy conversation between my husband and his ex-girlfriend.But their voices are stuck in my head no matter how hard I try.Faith Miller, my husband's childhood sweetheart, happily remarks. "I've heard much about the Jackson Group in the past few months. How's it going?"Kairo Jackson, my husband, smiles and gulps the glass of wine in his hand. "There have been some minor issues, but overall, we're thriving.""I always knew you were capable of doing incredible things. But I'm surprised you're a natural-born leader," Faith compliments. "I mean, I thought you were just a nerdy student.""Thank you, Faith. You're doing great yourself," Kairo replies. "And just so you know, there are many things you still don't know about me."I catch a quick wink from Kairo to Faith, and my blood starts to boil. How could he flirt so shamelessly with his wife sitti
