The rest of the week had gone by so fast and unusually free of any hiccups. Laura resumed working at the cafe, but this time around she spent almost the whole day there.

Due to shortage of staffs, Dave had started stressing out. He himself wasn’t always available because of his chemo sessions. One of the girls always had to go to the hospital with him. Either Laura or Maddie. So now, Laura always left home early to the cafe and came back late.

King didn’t feel comfortable with the arrangement, he had grown really possessive over Laura. It felt sexy most times but at times it was choking her up. The last time she brought it up he felt hurt and ended up promising he would give her space. Well, he tried but he couldn’t. Man couldn’t give her a mile.

Unfortunately, today he and Andre flew out of the state.

Laura was working late at the cafe with Maddie, people were still coming in numbers. Ever since the public found out about Laura and King, the cafe had become popular. Everyone trea

  • Entangled with a Baby   chapter 100

    If stubbornness was a sport, Kingston McGorrith would have Olympic gold. The man had just cheated death in a freaking sky accident, had fresh stitches holding his skin together like a limited-edition designer piece, and yet, here he was—still forcing the doctor to sign his discharge papers like the hospital was a damn hotel and he was late for checkout.And of course, he also insisted Laura meet Dr. Manual since he was in the same hospital.“You’re getting a checkup before we step out of this building,” he had declared, pointing a finger at Laura like he was laying down the law. “No arguments babe.”Laura had rolled her eyes but secretly appreciated it. Pregnancy had turned her into a walking incubator of cravings, mood swings, and backaches, and while she acted tough, she wasn’t about to ignore the concern in his eyes. So, she had gone along with it.Dr. Manuel had run a thorough scan on her before giving her the results. “The baby is in the right position, and the fibroid is managea

    “Hell no, there is no way in hell I’m canceling the party. It will still hold and that’s final.”King’s voice was as sharp and firm like a judge’s hammer slamming down in a courtroom. It didn't matter to him if he was sitting in a damned hospital bed with a fresh IV in his arm. It didn't matter to him if his body was still bruised, stitched up, and technically supposed to be on bed rest. None of that mattered to Kingston.Because whenever he had made up his mind, not even divine intervention could change it.Laura’s nails dug into her palms. “Are you serious right now?” Her voice trembled—not with fear, but with pure frustration at his stubbornness. “King, you were just in a goddamn helicopter crash! Your body isn’t made of steel, no matter how much you act like it is.”Brian exhaled loudly, running a hand down his face. “Let’s not forget the other reason we’re saying this, man. You were literally giving a second chance to live, but that's not all. It’s not just about your health. You

    Hospitals were supposed to be quiet and somber places for the sick ones—full of beeping machines, sterile walls, and nurses shushing loud visitors. But apparently, nobody told Brian and Tay that. Because the moment they walked in, the room went from the crime thriller atmosphere to circus act in literally 0.2 seconds after they got in.Brian who was always the loudest in the group, barged in first, throwing his arms up dramatically. “My guy! You survived a helicopter crash and didn’t even break a leg? Now that’s just selfish.”Tay followed in, shaking his head. “Swear down, bro. You have to start sharing some of that plot armor with the rest of us.”King who was still propped up in bed, his back raised higher than the rest of his body, smirked. “What can I say? I guess I'm God’s favorite.”Laura, who had just managed to stop panicking over the whole somebody trying to kill my man situation, shot them a glare. “Can y’all not?”But Brian was already in motion, snatching the pillow from

    King was built differently. And that was on period.It was a helicopter crash yet this man walked out of it looking like a battle-worn Greek god instead of someone who just had a near-death experience. Sure, his face was scratched up, his arm was dislocated, and the white bandage on his chest made him look like he belonged in a war movie, but was he lying on a hospital bed in misery? Nope. He was sitting upright, cracking jokes like he hadn’t just scared the life out of Laura.Laura, on the other hand, was a living mess. Hot tears streamed down her face like a flowing river, her perfectly done curls now falling apart as she held onto King’s hand like he would disappear if she let go. “You’re an idiot,” she sniffled, squeezing his fingers tighter.King, ever her annoying man, smirked. “I mean… yeah, but like, a hot one?” His voice was hoarse but still carried that signature cocky charm. “Damn, baby, I knew you loved me, but these tears? You tryna make me cry too?”Laura wiped her face

    It was a day to the party, the one King had planned so well with precision, the one meant to be his chessboard to catch snakes like Liam and Stacey. But instead of strategizing his moves, King found himself juggling calls and obligations like a circus clown. He was supposed to pick Laura up from the salon, where she was getting all dolled up, but as usual, life had other plans.He was in his office, leaning back in his chair, his tie slightly crooked. One of his hands was holding his phone, and the other tapping a slow rhythm of a song on his desk. Those fingers never stay put.Laura's angelic sweet voice filled his ear, teasing him about how she was being pampered like a princess because of him.“So, Mr. Kingston McGorrith, any chance of a sneak peek of the settings of the hall before the party?” Laura asked, her tone playful.King chuckled, his lips twitching into a smile. “Tempting offer, miss cotton. But I’d rather you see the full reveal when you’re ready to break hearts at the

    So not everyone wearing scrubs were saints. King has got to learn the hard way.He was leaning back against the cool black leather seat of his SUV, his long fingers tapping an impatient rhythm on the armrest. Outside, the city lights were all white and gold in his eyes even despite the tinted windows. Detective Marshal’s call had come earlier and the urgency in his voice had pulled him out of his office. Luckily, Chase was around in time to cover up for him while he would be away. “King,” Marshal had said in a tone that demanded attention. “I’ve got something for you. We need to meet as soon as possible.” Marshal had said. No greetings, no small talk. Typical of him.Now here he was, parked in a high-rise parking garage, his eyes darting to the rearview mirror as Marshal approached. The detective opened the passenger door and slid in with what seemed like a practiced ease. Marsha never rushed into anything unprepared, and tonight was no different.“Detective,” King greeted him with

    Dr. Liam leaned back against the cold wall tiles of his private shower, letting the steaming water cascade over his chiseled chest. The surgical mask lines were still showing on his face, and they reminded him of the exhausting C-section he had just completed. Liam was drained, physically and emotionally. Although he had saved a life today—two, actually. Same as yesterday and the day before—all he could think about was how much he hated these walls. Hospitals were sanctuaries for everyone else, but for him? It was more like a prison.He toweled off roughly, wrapping the plush white towel around his waist before stepping back into his office.And there she was.Stacey.Her red hair was pinned back into a messy bun, a shade too bright against her pale Texan skin. Her curvy body was poured into a black dress that hugged her thick thighs and ample chest like she had revenge to prove. She sat in his swivel chair like she owned the place, her legs crossed in a nonchalant way. Her cherry-re

    Laura leaned against the counter that had displays of hot pastries, shifting her pregnancy weight to ease the pressure on her back. Her hand absentmindedly rested on her growing belly as she glanced at Maddie, who was swirling a spoon through a cappuccino she had no intentions of drinking.“So…” Laura started, dragging on that word to hint she was about to ask something prohibited. “How's Dr. Liam these days? Still too busy diagnosing his reflection in the mirror to have your time?”Maddie froze mid-way through swirling her coffee, her playful grin flattening out for just a second before she replaced it with a dramatic eye roll. “Ugh, can we not? It’s way too early for this.”Laura raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. “Too early, or too complicated? Madds, you know I’m going to ask eventually.”Maddie waved her hand dismissively, leaning on the counter. “He’s fine. You know, doing his doctor-y things and looking annoyingly good while doing them.” She giggled with dreamy eyes. “Noth

    He knew the rules: money talked, and everyone else? They just nodded. The world worked on bribes, and the underpaid prison guard standing at the dimly lit corridor, guarding the cell gates, wasn’t about to turn down his envelope of dollar bills.“Back again, Mr. Clean?” The guard’s grin was all teeth and bad intentions, his hand greedily slipping the envelope into his jacket pocket.Matthew smirked, shoving his hands into his jacket. “You’re not paid to ask questions, Moses. I’m not here to bake cookies.”Moses laughed like they were old friends sharing an inside joke. “Fair enough. He’s in the usual spot. Ten minutes.”“Fifteen,” Matthew corrected, already stepping into the dark corridor that smelled of sweat, cheap bleach, and desperation for inmates to escape.Prisons weren’t supposed to feel comfortable, but this one had a bite of an annoying feeling that made his skin crawl every time he visited. And yet, here he was. Again.Dr. Hakeem’s cell was tucked in the back of the buildin
