~Laurel~"Here." Kurt passed me a mug of the coffee he had prepared. I stared at the mug and the thought of not taking it nearly crossed my mind.He read the look on my face. "It's just coffee, Laurel." I glared and snatched the mug from his hold before sipping it slowly. Kurt plopped on the sofa in front of me and sipped his. "I don't see anyone around here. You live alone now?""No, gave my workers days off. They had helped me move in so I thought it would be nice if I gave them days off and allowances to feast on for the weekend.""I didn't picture you to be this kind of person." He purred, moving backward to rest his back on the sofa."What kind of person did you picture me to be?"He rolled his eyes and stared at the ceiling. "Rude, proud and arrogant. The money makes people high."I laughed. "Like the way you're high?""No, mine has been a characteristic.""Good for you. Cos you're the most arrogant person I've ever had the bad luck of meeting.""You don't call fate, bad luck,

~Laurel~"What?""I said Jason proposed to me. After what happened last nigh--""Well congratulations." He said and turned to walk away."Is that all you've got to say Kurt? I didn't even accept it!"He turned to me, his eyes, stormy blue. "Well what do you want me to do?! Fight for a woman I don't love? Fight for a woman who doesn't want me? Can't say I've heard that one before."A woman I don't love..."I--I, I thought---""What did you think? That I still love you? Then you really must be out of your mind. Accept it and get married, Laurel. Do what'll make you happy. I certainly don't care."I swallowed in my tears and mustered the courage to feign a smile. "Good to know. I wish you'll find the right woman Kurt, who would change this man you've become. I only hope there's even such a woman." I said and walked out on him.It was clear now.Vividly clear.I had just written Kurt Kenton off from my life.~"Godmother do you like this movie?" Mira asked me halfway into the movie we wer

~Laurel~"Sir someone's here to see you." I heard Jason's secretary say to him and shortly after, she walked out and nodded, signifying that I could enter.I walked into Jason's office and saw him, buried in his work, but only I knew what he was going through underneath that suit of his."What are you doing here?" He asked, his gaze not lifting from his computer's. "Came to check if the heart's still in one piece? Then no, it's not." He lifted his gaze from his computer and faced me. I walked closer to him and drew out a chair, sitting opposite him. "I'm really sorry about what you saw or---""Allow me to specify it for you. I saw you kissing Kurt Kenton. Your ex. Infact, you didn't even know that I knew that you had a past with that man. Did you?"No. He wasn't aware and he wasn't even supposed to find out. "Look I--""I never cheated on you, Laurel. Not once. You know everybody warned me to stay the hell away from you. That you weren't into relationships and stuffs like that but I s

~Kurt~I was going through a few paperwork when the door slid open and Clarissa walked in."What do you want?" I asked her, moving my keyboard aside."Eaten?""No. How is Mira?""Hmm, I can't say that she is moody but at least, she's responding to me a little." She moved closer to me. "She's a fine combination of you and Laurel.""Don't even dare say her name.""Kurt you can't blame Laurel for everything. She had a life before you whirled back into her life. ""A mother's duty is to her kid and to the fath--" I paused, noticing the amused look on her face."You still love her, don't you?"I sighed, running my hand frustratedly into my hair. "Do you know how hard it is knowing that the mother of my child is going 'round in circles, sleeping and changing men like purses? Do you know how hard it is? I care about Laurel a lot. Why can't she see that I'm trying to reach out to her?""She doesn't see it because you're doing it forcefully. You're forcing her, Kurt and women don't like being

~Laurel~"So you mean to tell me that dad accused you of something like that?" Mira asked me, unable to believe that Kurt could actually accuse me of killing his mother indirectly. I didn't want to tell her this but looking at the situation, I wouldn't be able to clear my name off her black book without being sincere and truthful with her.She clutched her cup of coffee tight. "Did you do it?""What? No! I wouldn't cheat on your dad with his dad. I wouldn't do something like that to him. After everything he did to me, I couldn't bear it all, so I had to give you away.""Still doesn't explain the main reason why you gave me away. You were ashamed of me, I was a burden to you, and worst of al--""I love you, Mirabelle. If I didn't, I wouldn't have given birth to you. I would have ended your life even before you dreamed of your arrival into this world.""I know. You love me, I love you, I get it, but did you even love my dad? Did you at least try to prove to him that you were innocent?"

~Laurel~"Laurie, Laurie!" Mia ran into the dining room where we were having lunch and tossed a tabloid on the table. I picked it and flipped on the first page, shocked and at the same time surprised to see Mira and I on the first page.The headline stating;Who is she???Most hottest and famous Hollywood female star was spotted in Rodeo Drive today with a little girl of about twelve years old. Who could this little girl be?? Laurel Hyde hasn't been seen with any kid before apart from her best friend; Wesley Cooper's son, even our sources say she hate kids. So who could this twelve years old be??A relative or perhaps, a long lost kid?"Fuck!" I cursed running my hand through my hair. "Do I need to put a restraining order against these people now? Why can't they just leave me alone? I mean it hasn't even be up to twenty four hours! What if Jason sees this? What would he say? Oh god.""That's what happens when the whole world knows who you are." Mira mumbled out with a spoon in her mo

~Laurel~"Ma, there's someone here to see you." Julia told me and I tilted my head up from my computer to stare at her."Who?""She said her name is Bella Daniels. And that she had to go through a lot to track you down here.""Well does she know that I barely have time to spare?" And besides, what was Kurt's therapist doing here? In my company?"Okay, let her in."Few seconds later, Bella walked in. All gorgeously dressed. That sly smile on her lips broadened when she held my gaze."Am I bothering you?""What do you want, Bella?"She strode over to me and slowly plopped down on a couch opposite me. "Just here to talk, Laurel."I folded my arms. " You didn't come all the way here just to talk.""That's right. It's hard to book meetings with celebs these days, don't you think? Anyway, I'm just here to warn you."Warn me? "As in me?" I laughed, shook my head. "Have you had too much to drink? Because you barely even know me.""Oh I do you. I know you so very well. You're Mira's mom." My h

~Laurel~"What do you mean there nothing left to tell me? Are you sleeping with her, it's either a yes or no."He banged his fists hard on the table making me jerk backwards."This shit is completely pissing me off. Who are you anyway to ask me that? You that just can't seem to get your legs closed. You open them to just anyone wearing slacks and you think you are in the position to ask me that? Don't ask about something when it's obviously something you're good at."I gave out a bitter chuckle and shook my head. "I should have know you would use that against me. Well you wanna know the reason why I'm doing all of that? I just can't seem to get rid of your thoughts. And everything you said to me years ago. You told me to trust you and at the end, you just went ahead and betrayed me. Betrayed what I thought we had.""I betrayed you? Laurel please, we're not doing a couple's argument right now. I'm not up for any argument with you. I thought you said you're a lie detective? Well, if you
