Everyone turned to look at her. The announcement was a shock to everyone except Molly and Scott who knew his mother’s presence wasn’t good news. He fell back on the chair, dropping the cutlery he had been holding.Laura looked at her, her jaw dropped in surprise. It didn’t seem like she had heard her quite well. It wasn’t as if she had willingly married Scott heartily. It shouldn’t have stung but it did, especially her blatant expression of dislike.Scott shook his head, a mocking smile on his face, “What do you mean mom?” he asked, just to make sure he had heard her well.Mrs. Williams shrugged, she didn’t care to repeat herself. “I know you heard me Scott. You’ve grown to be a man and think you can do anything you please. You cannot get married to a random girl I don’t know where you picked from and think you can give her our name” Scott leaned up on the chair, he could hear the seriousness in her voice and he hated it, the thought that she could control him. “You must think you h
Laura felt her whole body freeze, she couldn't move or do anything. Her eyes went to Scott's who made sure not to keep eye contact. But she saw the smudged lipstick from Molly and the guilt in the way he moved. She looked away quickly, not wanting to see anymore that would hurt her even more. She had seen enough. She should have expected it. After all Scott had made it a point that she knew he wasn't interested in being loyal. He had slept with her before, a kiss wasn't anything and who knew what else they had done? Still, she couldn't help the tears that slid down her face and quickly wiped them away, wanting to put on a brave face. Nico cleared his throat, he knew what had happened and he was sure Laura did as well. His eyes fell on Molly's and it was clear she didn't feel any guilt but when he saw Scott, he read the anger on him. Scott grabbed Molly's hand and pulled her out of the room towards the door and once he was far enough, he gave Molly a lethal stare. One that clearly
She managed to ignore him that night, making sure she didn’t meet his eyes or alert his attention to her. she didn’t want to have to do anything with him, last night had been more than enough and she needed some rest.She was lucky and happy when the next day came and he hadn’t attempted anything with her. he had let her sleep while he worked. She was brushing her teeth when he walked into the restroom to meet her.“You’re going to come with me today, I have a very important contract and unfortunately, I need you to help me bag it since he prefers family men” he looked appalled by just the though of it, as if he never wanted to be a family man.She nodded but looked away, it wasn’t as if she had a choice in any of it. He left the room and she went about preparing. Once she was ready, he silently led them out of the room towards the elevator and they rode down.Someone met them downstairs, a tall man with jet black hair but looked much older than either of them. He greeted her with a n
She stared at the box, wondering what could be inside it. She knew it would be a dress but wondered what kind. She hoped it would be something she was comfortable in, she didn’t want to wear something too revealing.After she took a shower, making sure she was good she opened the box and was surprised at the skimpy short gown that was inside it. She wore it, standing in front of the mirror to see that it was tight and revealing. She didn’t feel too comfortable and she was about to take it off when a message rang on her phone. She opened it and read the message from him out loud, “I expect you at dinner in fifteen minutes with nothing else except the gown I sent or else you’ll be punished” Laura understood the message and underlying threat. She had no choice but to do whatever he asked her to do. She took a deep breath, trying to infuse courage into herself and finished dressing up, ignoring how uncomfortable she felt.Once she was ready, she took the purse that had come with her bag
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 couldn't say a word. It had been so easy for Scott to leave with Molly and leave her alone there. She thought about it. Maybe this was her golden chance to leave this deal, she could run away right now, hide so well, he'd never find her. She sighed, she knew she couldn't do that. She didn't have a choice but to do whatever he asked. She was doing this for George and six months would go by quickly, at least she hoped so. She had breakfast and then went back to her room since there wasn't much to do. She wondered if he had a library, just somewhere she could stay and read some books. If there wasn't anything else to do. She decided to go find Amelia so she could ask her. She was on her way
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 Molly. I'm sure she'll be glad to be of help" she said and pushed away from him. She stood up and was running towards the door when it opened and with some force hit her, pushing her to the ground. She let out a groan, looking up to see it was Molly. Molly didn't look remorseful at all, instead there was a small spiteful smirk. “Well, finally you're down where you belong" she laughed and walked past Laura to Scott. Scott's eyes were on Laura before moving to Molly who had her hand on him. “I'm sorry darling. I need to talk to you, it's important" she said. She began to pull him out, as he walked out he didn't spare a glance at Laura and it hurt her. The way he was uncaring and unfeeling to
