LOGINI almost removed the scar on Leroy’s face. I’m glad I didn’t.
Thomas was chatting with Chris. He'd just had sex with his wife and while she was still fast asleep, he was busy plotting. "Our plan worked. She and her bodyguard will take their eyes off you for a while. Find out more about him, and Rita. Update me on what she's been up to." He typed his message and sent it. Not quite long, his phone buzzed. "Sir, yesterday, your wife met up with Laura. I just got an update from a friend at this restaurant, the description of the lady your wife went to see matches Laura's."Thomas opened his mouth in shock. He had not even been able to get a one on one meeting with Laura, and yet Rita did? He wanted to know what they talked about. But that would just have to wait. Now, he had business with this Danny fellow. "I was arrested. Beaten to a pulp. And still, I'm supposed to meet with this man to help me? How come?" He shook his head and let out a frustrated groan. This mystery texter kept bugging him. Pushing him around. All because of what? But then
Thomas was speaking to Chris when he observed traces of footstep near the entrance of his study room."I don't trust you anymore, Chris. You know, maybe my wife was right." He said. "I'm sorry you don't trust me sir, but I would never double cross you.""Get out of here right now!" He yelled. The man have a low bow before walking out. Conor, his new eyes and ears stepped in. "Sir, I'm glad you're finally realizing those who are truly your allies." He smiled, acting like they were brothers or something. Thomas rolled his eyes. "Don't think I trust you too.""I will prove my worth to you soon, don't worry sir." He said before leaving. He opened the door and found Rita sitting helplessly on the floor. "Ma'am, are you okay?" Quickly, he rushed to her aid. "I'll call for help now, just stay calm."Rita snatched the phone from him and flung it across the room. "I don't need help. I met with Laura today," she said. It hurt as she remembered how their meeting had went. "She was so full of
Laura stepped inside the restaurant. She'd chosen a nice refreshing place, where people are. She couldn't tell what would happen if she were left alone in a room with that Rita girl.She found the slender short lady seated by the window. Her sleek ponytail looked good on her. He rocked a knee length black dress, bringing out the rich color of her skin. "Rita Smith," Laura said as she stopped in front of her. The lady just eyed her up and down."You kept me waiting. Lucky for you, it was important for us to meet. Else, I would have left by now." She said. Laura scoffed in disbelief, then took her seat. "I'm a little shocked to see a husband snatcher like you act high and mighty, as if you mean something.""5 years ago, and it's all you're still talking about."Her palm was a ball of fury now. "Listen to me, I left. I left you with that monster. And now you guys are back again for...for what? Season two? I only came to meet you first, as a warning. Before I--""--before you what, Laur
Laura did not want to believe what Lia was saying. "Rita?" She leaned even closer, "that's what she called herself?"Lia nodded, she was starting to look a little worried now. "Who is she, mommy?"Laura wondered whether to tell her or not. "She's the one who got married to Thomas, your father. But why...how did she know who you are?""Does that mean man knows me now? What if he comes to my school and steals me!" Laura wished she hadn't told Lia. "I didn't mean to let you get scared. I'm sorry." She embraced her in a warm hug. "I won't let anyone take you from me. I'm going to have a call with her now. And if she doesn't listen, I'll report her to the police."This made Lia more relieved. "Okay, mommy." Laura asked for the card Rita had given her. Then dialed the number for an audience with her. She'd begged Leroy to come over and stay with Lia till she got back."I'll ask a few men to go with you," Leroy said, pulling her toward a quiet corner. His voice dropped lower. "I don't trus
"I'm sorry to say, but that's madness." Justin said to him. He was too shocked to even believe Leroy would make such a suggestion. "You kept away from the position for a reason." He backed up his statement. "So now you're willing to risk it all for a girl you've barely known?"Leroy just kept quiet. He'd already made up his mind no matter what Justin said. "You canceled your appointment with that young woman, after promising that you would attend to her. You still haven't met one on one with the Montgomery. That's an act of disrespect."He tilted his head slightly to take a clear view of old Justin. "You want me to get married so bad? You keep bringing up women throwing themselves on me for my hands in marriage.""That's not what I mean.""Justin, you will have my back no matter what. Because you don't really have much choice. Trust me when I say this, it isn't only because of Laura. It's for myself too. We can't keep living in the past.""The past has killed a lot of people. We sho
Laura did not hear until Tamara called her the third time."Oh my goodness, where did you drift to?" She asked, staring at her daughter with concern. It was a bit dark that night with the light dimmed, but she could see Laura's eyes saddened. "What is wrong? Who's threatening you?"Laura sighed. "I'm fine, it's nothing." She sat up. She couldn't let anybody come between her and her progress. This was an important discussion. "I have met with most of the families in town,"Tamara gave it a while before she responded. She hoped her daughter was really fine. "Left for the Rodriguez."Laura's heart skipped a bit at the mention of that name. "They're the ones we need. And then, nobody can stand in your way, not even the Graysons. The Graysons are even powerless here, I'm sure Thomas is trying to kiss ass with top families here."She figured there was no need to hide anything from Tamara, she had to know everything to be able to help her. "The Rodriguez have my back." This made her mother
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 was still fuming with rage when Tania came to announce, "Ma'am, you have a guest." Laura frowned. It was past 10pm. What guest could it be? She got up and grabbed the shirt of her night gown, swinging it on. A man was standing in the living room, stethoscope around his neck.This brought a f
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
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."
