A day later~Laurel~I called him again for the sixth time today but he didn't pick up. It was as if he had been purposely ignoring my call since yesterday and he had every right to. How could I have brought Jason to spend the night at my house, yesterday?But what could I have done?I couldn't ignore that call that came in, telling me that Jason has been in an accident and he had been detained for drunk driving. Even though we were no longer together, I couldn't have just ignored him. He was my friend and he had always been there for me. Although, like he said, part of the reason why he hasn't been himself lately was because of me. He was shattered by what I did to him. I couldn't blame him. I only blamed myself for leading him on.And now, my relationship with Kurt was paying the price for it.Fuck. Me.Gripping the bottle of hard liquor in front of me, I downed the remaining contents in the bottle and staggered over to where my fridge was, pulled out another.With a packet of cigar

~Laurel~With a smile on my face, I got down from my car, clutched my purse and walked into the Hall.The never-ending flashes of camera nearly made my sight go numb but I managed to walk through without having people jump on me. I didn't want to ditch on Freya since it was her engagement party today and she was getting married to one of Hollywood's most famous award winning actors and hundreds of celebrities were on seat. Freya was also very popular in the industry, with face and body to match. Not only that, her parents owned one of the biggest malls in the world. As soon as I stepped in, all eyes dawned on me. I wasn't nervous, not even in the slightest bit. The short silky mid-thigh red gown I wearing, hugged my curves like second skin. It had a deep V-neckline in the middle, showing off the curves of my breasts. Matching off with a black Chanel purse, were a pair of black Stuart Weitzman suede pumps. My new bronde hair was elegantly combed in a side part and tucked behind the ea

~Laurel~I was putting on my lipstick when the door opened and I saw from the mirror, the person that stepped in."I told you I didn't need help.""I never mentioned you did." Kurt said and stepped closer to me, hands thrusted into his pockets. "You're taking longer than expected.""None of your business." I spun round to face him. Without saying a word, I slowly tucked my lipstick and powder back into my bag. An awful twenty seconds of silence swept by before I spoke up. "Diana, the girl you told me about. She's here." I raised my gaze to meet his."I know. It's not rare to meet one or two past acquaintances at a party."When I didn't reply, he continued. "Tell me you're shitting me right now, Laurel.""What?""You're jealous, aren't you?" His face was void of any emotion but his voice held amusement. "I never thought there would come a day when you'd have to be so possessive of me.""Who's possessive of you? Who me?" I said and faked a laugh."Am I talking to someone else in the ro

~Kurt~I didn't know they would think of me that way. I was right. I shouldn't have come here. Maybe I should have ditched the family crap and gotten married to Laurel in secret instead. Or maybe I should believe Khalil and not get married to Laurel this year. I still couldn't stop thinking about what he said. What if,What if something bad is bound to happen, if I get married to her now?"Kurt," a soft voice called out.I tore my gaze from the view of the sky and landed it on Wesley's mom."Beatrice? Or isn't that your name?" I didn't want to sound rude but I just couldn't avoid it.She frowned. "Of course that's my name. Or you can call me Betty if you want instead." She walked up to me and rested on the railing before exhaling out a breath, I noticed she had been holding since she appeared in front of me."To be honest with you, I never thought that you and Laurel would get back together. After everything you did to her. You know, you left her broken.""I know.'' No need to keep on

Two long hours since we heard the news that Laurel had gone missing on her way to church.Her mother, Helen, and Mira were left stranded in the nearby bush where we found them and even till now, there's been no information about Laurel or Lorenzo's whereabouts.I should have known. Hell, Khalil even tried to warn me. But me being a selfish bastard wanted Laurel so badly for myself and now, her life is in danger because of me."Here," Camilla handed a glass of water over to Mira who was still shaking in Lavinia's arms. Helen has been crying nonstop, blaming herself for what happened to her daughter despite the pleads from Mrs Cooper and Mrs Kingston, saying she was not to be blamed.My heart was thumping rapidly in the my chest and I didn't even notice Phil walk in along with Wesley, Liam, Damon, CSI officers, director of the CIA and a few military officers."Boss," it was Phil. "We're still searching."With my fists curled up, I got up and punched hi

~Laurel~I felt numb. Dead inside. My body ached all over. My legs. I couldn't move my legs. I let out a croaked sound when I realized that I couldn't move my legs. "My legs..." I tried sitting up but it felt as if there was no single bone in my body."Sit still ma'am," a woman hovering over me said. "You just woke up.""Where am I?" My voice was barely a whisper. A face sudden flashed in my head.Marco Lorenzo."No!" I tried moving away from him but my legs were stuck. "No! Get away from me! Please! No!""Laurel," he grinned and moved closer to touch me.I cried. "No! Please! Don't touch me!"Someone shook my shoulders repeatedly. "Laurel? Laurel. Laurel!"Marco's face was immediately replaced with Kurt's and I gripped his body, clutching his shirt for protection as my sobs became louder."It's okay, Laurel. He will never hurt you again. I promise you that the bastard would never hurt you again.""Kurt, he..they..did things to my body. They forced me to..he.." My voice faded into a
