LOGINEveryone gathered around Thomas. "You should sit down and listen to the rest-"He was suddenly cut off by Rachel. "Why are you being so nice? She ruined you. And you just come back to this place and act like nothing happened again?""My daughter is happy now. She tells me constantly. If I have a shot at getting back together with Laura, I'll pounce on it."Monica crashed to the chair. "I am so lost. Everyone knows she's the fake woman who entered your life to destroy it. And now you seem completely fine with all of this?"Rachel grunted in disgust."Well I won't be fooled.""Do you not see what just happened? You could have slept in jail but she let you go. You know what she said? She said they're Lia's family too. And she let you go.""But-"He cut Rachel up."This other man, Leroy Rodriguez? He's finally out of her life. I'm going to propose to Laura. As many times as I can, until she says yes."Monica's face spelled out a big confusion. Rachel stepped in front of him again. "Don't yo
"Oh look, we're outside your apartment Kim." Laura said. Kim looked out only to be disappointed by this. "It's okay. I'll ask you later." She said, then hugged her goodbye as the car came to a halt. Laura had to come down before Kim was able to leave.Once back inside the car, Lia became silent again. It made Laura worried a bit, that she asked; "what do you think Kim was about to ask?"Her answer was just a simple shrug, as if saying please leave me alone. Laura sighed, her eyes stained with tears. She looked away and turned to the window quickly. They arrives home shortly with Laura preparing Lia for bed. They'd had their dinner and nothing was fun anymore in the house. Lia never talked about the stars and the moon again since Leroy went. She got tempted to dial Leroy's number again but instead, got a call in. It was Tamara."Hey, how are you?" Laura asked the woman. She had been getting closer to her mother more than ever, still, it stung in her throat to pronounce the word "mot
She was so scared. Every footstep she took felt like it dragged. She saw a teacher and rushed towards her. "Hi Mrs Silvestre, um, my daughter—"From behind, Lia's voice caught her attention. "Hi mom." Laura froze then turned to see both Kim and her daughter. "I thought you told her not to worry." Lia muttered to Kim. "Kim?" Laura was relieved but angry at the same time. It didn't make sense. Why would Kim send that text message to her, to torment her? She heaved in a deep sigh. "Honey, why don't you wait in the car while I speak to Kim, hmm?"She nodded. Although she looked hesitant at first. "Is Kim in trouble?" She asked quietly.Laura smiled for her daughter. Had she been frowning it scared Lia? "What? No, no. She isn't." It seemed comforting a bit because Lia nodded again and left. Slowly, her eyes found their way to Kim who was making it seem like she's just over reacting."You.""I'm sorry, but I thought the text would make you feel better." She said in that apologetic tone.
"What? What are you saying?" Monica kept asking while Rachel pretended like everything was okay. Even till the police came and they were taken away to the station. It was when Thomas walked in that Rachel finally started to talk. "What the hell Thomas? You could have at least told us!" She yelled out. Thomas was storming in angrily. When Chris showed him the video, he could not believe his eyes. "Tell you what? How do be decent to a woman? Especially the woman who is the mother of my child? If Lia sees this--"Rachel was not having any of this. "Whoa whoa, who is Lia?""Listen, there's a lot of catching up to do. But she plans...the police told me now that you're to spend the weekend here.""Can somebody explain what is happening! I'm sick. I can't sleep in jail! Much more for three whole days." Monica cried out. "Then you should have guided your daughter on the right path instead of embarrassing yourselves on social media..this is so terrible. People are talking. And it's not good
This made Laura scoff. They still liked to believe she ruined Thomas? When he was the wine who took everything away from her."Hello my fans, this is very crazy but remember that woman? Well she is standing right here. I'm going to do a quick recording and show her to you, okay?""This is stupid," Laura found herself admitting out loud. "So this is your new life? This fake social media influencer nonsense wasn't just a phase that would pass?""Okay here we go. Take a look at the camera and say hello to everyone." Rachel turned the camera away from her face and to Laura. "Say hi. And...oh, you're waving? Idiot.""Of course I'm waving. Do I look good?" She was adjusting her dress, smoothing it as if the camera faced to her were some paparazzis."What kind of lunatic are you?" Monica's face soured as she asked. She didn't understand why Laura would be so confident all of a sudden. "You use to beg me for attention. You'd beg me not to let Thomas divorce you.""And now I'm changed. Right?
The shoe was simple enough, silver with something like glitters on it. As dull as it might have looked, it was very attractive. Instantly, Laura could tell it was expensive. She heard footsteps behind and then a woman said. "Look at you wish believing that show can be yours. Ha!"Laura frowned and turned. That voice was so damn familiar. Standing before her was a slender lady with brown hair tied in a ponytail. She was standing beside her look alike, Monica, only a more older version. "I'd recognize that voice anywhere," she said with a smile on her face. "Rachel. And her dumb mother, Monica." Something in her was driving her to talk carelessly. Rachel and Monica (Thomas' sister and mother) always drove her crazy then, while she was still married to him. They hated her and did not even show it at all.She was always so afraid of them because she feared they would ruin her marriage. Now, there was no need to be afraid again. "Wow mom, I can't believe this." Rachel said."I didn't eve
He felt like he might had overreacted. Justin told him always to control his emotions. At least he was glad Lia was doing okay. "Why do you care a lot about that little girl though? She's only just a patient," Justin had asked him one day. "And you always say nevwe to personally care too much abou
Leroy paused, got up then knelt beside Lia. Everyone were trying to be calm without over reacting. She didn't look like she was joking, 5 years old or not, Lia was a smart kid. "I'm... someone who cares about you."Lia smiled, then gave a big nod. "I'm glad. Mommy, see there's someone who cares ab
Thomas walked in, glancing around the room. He had thought Leroy was just some poor doctor. He never expected him to live in such a big house. Or that he would have so much security with that stupid alarm announcing his presence. Could any one even sneak up on him? I need that technology, he thoug
Laura had been patient. She tried so hard not to get upset with Leroy, but he was too good at making her angry. He would not utter more than two words, gave her attitude and not explain what she'd done to make him mad."They said her result for the full diagnosis will be ready soon." She was sayin
