Contract with the devil Chapter 27: Who is She?
George thought for a minute. “She didn’t say much. Just asked how I was feeling and if the treatment was working. Normal sister stuff.”“Did she seem nervous or like she was pretending?” Scott asked.“Not really,” George said. “She just seemed like Laura. That’s why I thought it was her.”“Did she touch anything or look for something?” Scott asked.“No,” George said, confused why Scott was asking so much. “She just sat where Laura is now. We talked a bit, then she left. About ten minutes total.”Scott’s hand tightened on Laura’s shoulder like he was thinking hard but didn’t say what.“What did you talk about?” Laura asked George. She wanted to know exactly what this woman said while pretending to be her.“Just regular stuff,” George said. “She asked how my treatment was going and if I needed anything. She said sorry she couldn’t visit more ‘cause she was busy at work.”That made sense because Laura had been visiting less after moving into Scott’s mansion and the whole contract thing.
Contract with the devil Chapter 26: Visiting George
The day after Detective Chen told Laura about the changed birth certificate, she woke up knowing she had to see George because he was the only family she still had. If anyone needed to know what was going on, it was him. So she got dressed and went downstairs to find Scott.He was in his office like always, working on his computer. He looked up when Laura knocked on the door, and she came in without waiting for him to say she could."I need to go see George," Laura said before he could ask her why, because she knew if she didn’t say it fast, she might lose her guts.Scott leaned back in his chair and looked at her with that look that meant he was trying to decide if he should let her or not. "When? I mean you can't just wake up and make that decision.”"Today," Laura said, crossing her arms. "Right now, actually and what do you mean by that? He's my brother.”"Laura," Scott started, but she cut him off before he could say no."I haven't seen him for almost a week, Scott," Laura said,

Detective Chen took out a paper from his folder and handed it to Scott, who looked at it for a second before passing it to Laura. She took it with trembling hands and tried to read the words.It was a copy of her birth certificate, but at the bottom, in tiny print, there was something she’d never noticed before.She rarely looked at her birth certificate closely, only when she needed it for school or her license."What's amended?" Laura asked, pointing to the word at the bottom because she didn’t get what it meant."It means your birth certificate was changed, altered after you were born," Detective Chen explained. He pulled out another paper. "This is from the Office of Vital Records, showing your birth certificate was officially amended when you were three months old."Laura stared at the paper, feeling like her brain couldn’t process the words. Why would her birth certificate need to be changed when she was only three months old? And why had her parents never told her?"What was ch

Contract with the devil CHAPTER 2: SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
Laura couldn't sleep. The clock said two in the morning. Her eyes were wide open, staring at the ceiling. She kept seeing her face, that girl who looked just like her. It scared her so bad. Her heart wouldn't slow down. She tossed and turned in the sheets. They felt too hot and sticky against her skin. She sat up and hugged her knees to her chest. She tried to breathe slow, but it didn't help. The room was dark, except for the little light from the hallway slipping under the door. She heard footsteps, soft on the carpet, then a knock. Scott's voice came through, low and worried. He said, "Laura, you awake?" She said, "Yes." He opened the door and came in. He was in his boxers, his hair was messy from sleep. He looked at her with those eyes that always made her feel safe, but tonight they looked dark and intense. He closed the door behind him. He walked over to the bed and sat down next to her. He put his hand on her shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?" She said, "I can't stop thin

Scott stared at Laura for a while. “Yes, I can,” he said, and he walked over to his desk in the corner of the room and picked up his phone like he was already done with the conversation. “And I will. The bodyguards will be here soon, so I suggest you go upstairs and get ready to meet them.” “I’m not going anywhere.” Laura crossed her arms over her chest and stood there, trying to look defiant even though inside she felt like she wanted to scream. Scott looked up from his phone, and she could see he was getting really annoyed now because his jaw was tight and his eyes were hard. “Laura go upstairs now.” “No.” She said it louder this time because she was so angry at him for treating her like a child who couldn’t make her own decisions. Scott put his phone down and walked back over to her, and this time when he grabbed her, it was rougher. He pulled her right up against him so she could feel how tense he was. “I’m trying to keep you safe. Why can’t you understand that?” “I understa

She stared at both of them, Molly and Scott, unable to move or say a word, it felt like a dream and she couldn’t believe her eyes. Molly lay on top of Scott, his hands on her waist, loosely and she was leaning over him.Laura let a small gasp out,”W..W..What?” she let out in a small murmur, her voi

The Scott's mansionLaura knew what he meant and immediately moved back but his hands stayed tight on her face. “Don't fight it, or else you won't enjoy it" he warned. She frowned, hating that she was going to do this just a few hours after he had betrayed her. “I don't want to do that, go meet Mo

The Scott mansion Laura couldn't believe her ears, what did Amelia mean? She had just seen Scott the night before, there was no way he was gone this afternoon. She opened her mouth to ask a question but nothing came out. Maybe it was the shock or she just didn't have any question, but she could

"Who the hell does she think she is?" , Molly asked as she turned to look at Scott who had a big smirk in his face."Scott""Scott", Molly screamed his name the second time when he didn't answer the first time. "Why the fuck are you screaming. I'm right here"."Well, you obviously had your attenti
