Laura's POV:I awakened and rubbed my eyes, realizing it was already morning based on the rays of light streaming through the window. I turned and noticed Nicholas wasn't beside me. Where could he have gone? That was my initial thought until I heard the sound of water running in the bathroom."Oh, he must be taking a bath," I mused, sinking back into bed with my head on the pillow. Memories of everything that transpired yesterday flooded my mind. I pondered how I would have slept without Nicholas by my side. I likely would have been so scared that I would have stayed up all night or even joined Sonia and Mark in their room.The thought of that made me chuckle. Sonia would probably never allow it. She would prefer sleeping with me rather than having me share a room with her man. She was fiercely protective of him, and I understood why. It's challenging to trust a man who possesses such prowess in bed. Many women would feel insecure if they had such a partner.Nicholas walked in just th

With the phone in my hand, I rushed out of the room and pounded on Sonia's door."Wake up, Sonia!" I shouted.Sonia hurried to the door, already fully dressed, indicating that she had already bathed."What's going on, Laura?" She looked at me, noticing my appearance. "You're still in a towel, babe."I didn't say anything; I just handed her my phone with trembling hands. She took the phone from me."I hope we're not dealing with this again, Laura. Not those nonexistent messages from the serial killer," she said as she glanced through my phone. I looked at her face, waiting for a reaction.She pulled me into the room and made me sit on the bed."There's nothing here, Laura. Your inbox is empty. Is there something else you want to show me?" My eyes widened in disbelief. What was she talking about? How was it possible that my inbox was empty? I took the phone from her and checked. I was completely shocked. What was happening?"Laura, I don't know what's going on, but this is getting serio

Nicholas's POVEveryone gathered in the lounge as I had requested. Laura sat beside me, while Sonia and Mark sat across from us. Their eagerness to hear what I had to say was evident. They wanted to know the information Carlos had shared with me."What did he find?" Mark was the first to ask, his restlessness apparent. He craved answers, understanding that the closer we get to apprehending the serial killer, the closer they all are to regaining their freedom. I, too, desired their freedom and grew tired of returning to the secret hideout, constantly consumed by thoughts of Laura. This situation had made me behave unlike my usual self, and I didn't appreciate it."Well, he uncovered some information about Romana," Laura tensed beside me, capturing my attention. Her eyes widened in response."What kind of information?" she inquired."Apparently, our hackers managed to dig up some details about him. As we suspected, he belongs to a mafia gang. However, we haven't been able to determine w

Laura's POVThe next morning, Nicholas woke me up, already dressed in a red shirt and black trousers. He looked incredibly handsome, with his neatly brushed hair falling gracefully across his forehead. It was hard not to admire his perfect looks, wealth, power, and poise. The rich fragrance he wore filled the room, adding to his allure."Get up, love. It's already 9 am," he said, smiling at me."I had a great night's rest," I replied, stretching and stifling a yawn."I'm glad," he said, rising from the bed and walking towards the wardrobe. Lately, I had been sleeping so well, especially when I was with Nicholas. His presence made me feel safe and protected, as if nothing could harm me.He returned from the wardrobe, his tie neatly fastened around his neck."I'll be leaving now," he said, adjusting his tie. "I have some matters to attend to."I stood up from the bed and walked around him, finally standing behind him and wrapping my arms around him."But you'll come back today, right?"

I dialed her number again, and this time she answered. "Thank God," I muttered, feeling relieved."How are you, Mum?" I asked."Oh, my daughter, I am fine," she replied, and I closed my eyes, taking a breath of relief."I hope you haven't been having any troubles at all?" I inquired."Not at all, Laura," she replied. "Has someone come to see me? Are you finally ready to settle down?" she teased."Oh, come off it, Mum. You know I recently broke up with Santos, so it will take a while for me to find someone.""That's true," she sighed. "When are you coming to visit me?""I am quite busy at the moment, Mum, but I will come as soon as I can, hopefully before the year ends," I assured her. She fell silent for a moment before responding."That's fine, Laura. Just don't let it take too long. I miss you.""I miss you too, Mum.""Okay, bye," she said before hanging up the call. Normally, I made sure to visit my mum at least three times every year, but this year, I had only gone to see her once

Laura's POVI quickly dialed my emergency contact, Nicholas, whom I had added just a few days ago."What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice filled with confusion."Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?" Mark looked at me with a wicked grin. "It seems you haven't quite figured out what's going on here.""Well, why don't you enlighten me?" I demanded. "Tell me why you're in my room. Are you planning to rape me? Just know that I'll scream before you can do anything." I glared at him with anger, shifting from shock to frustration when I realized Mark was playing a prank on me. He ignored my words, walked straight to the door, and locked it."What are you doing, Mark? Get out of here this instant!" I snapped. He retrieved a shiny object from his back pocket—a knife. My body immediately froze in fear."If you even raise your voice or attempt to cause a scene, I will ensure you experience a painful death. Do you understand?" Mark's words sent shivers down my spine.That's when it hit me

Sonia sneezed, and her eyes shot open. Startled, she quickly sat up from the bed."Laura, it's Mark. Mark is the serial killer," she said, panic evident in her voice."I know, Sonia. We caught him," I reassured her. She studied me carefully, scanning my body before embracing me tightly."I'm relieved you're safe. So relieved," she said, holding back a sob. "He threatened to kill you. I begged him not to, but he silenced me when I tried to make a scene." She was in a state of panic. "I... I did everything I could to get your attention. I thought you were in the next room. Did you hear? Is that how you escaped?""No, I was downstairs. When I went up, he was already in my room, wielding a knife, attempting to kill me," Nicholas interjected, his anger palpable. He mumbled some words, likely discussing his plans to confront Mark.Sonia struggled to catch her breath, her voice shaky. "I should have known. How could I not have realized he was the serial killer?" She looked at me, seemingly s

"Oh i never left, Wilson and I had a lot to discuss", he looked carefully at me from head to toe, "besides, after what happened, i couldn't bear letting you stay alone in a place as open as this"."I am not alone, you have two body guards stationed at the door, Sonia is here too"He scoofed,"That is not enough protection, none of them can protect you the way i can", he said, making something stir inside me. He had always been good with words. It was impossible to be smitten by his charms."How are you feeling now?", he asked."A whole lot better", i replied trying to sit up."Good, let's get you home then". I stood up from the bed not requiring assistance at all. The pain from the cut had completely disappeared. I felt reenergized. We stepped outside the ward, Whispers seemed to follow us, like a gentle breeze carrying snippets of curiosity and speculation. People, mostly ladies glanced in our direction, their eyes lingering on Nicholas, undoubtedly captivated by his charm and magnet
