Laurel~"Laurel! Laurel Hyde!""Laurel Hyde, is that really you? After all these weeks, where have you been?! Laurel! Laurel Hyde!""Kurt Kenton's been in this hospital for almost a week now. And you're only coming to see him now?! Laurel?!""Laurel Hyde, is it true that Bella Daniel is responsible for what happened to your lover?! Is this her way of getting revenge?! Why are you here to see Mr Kenton now?! Where have you been?! Have you been out? Out of the country?!""Laurel Hyde, is it true that you were abducted on your wedding day?"I clutched mom's arm. My heart beating rapidly."Is it true that you were abused on your wedding day? Do you have any idea who the person is?! Are you a rape victim?"I suddenly felt like collapsing. All the air in my body was slowly moving out through my mouth. It felt as if someone was choking me."Well, what do you have to say out there to women who's been through the same problem as you? What is your motivational message to women who's been abuse
"Oh yeah? That's not a very nice thing to say to your over-emotional wife.""You mean when she's pretending to cry and whimper? Just to get my attention?""Eat my ass, you asshole.''He tightened his hold around me and kissed the nape of my neck. "Gladly.""You wouldn't dare.""Shall I prove it to you? I don't know why you put up arguments with me when you know for a fact that I'll win.""You mean the win you win when you're seducing me?""Between the two of us, who's the main athlete of seduction? Who walks around the room every morning wearing nothing but fair skin?''"Are you saying you're tired of seeing me naked?""I would love to see you naked all day, Laurel. It's the best photo I've ever seen."Coming soon.__________~~~~~~~~~~~___________~Laurel~"Is this the place? Is this where they are?" I asked Phil as soon as the car stopped and Clarissa stepped out."Yes.""And what would they be doing here? What are they doing here? Are they putting someone up for manslaughter?" Clari
~Laurel~"Kurt Kenton, I vow to love you, respect you and take you as my husband, friend, partner, lover, and pledge a vow of honesty and fidelity. It is one I give willingly, easily, gracefully, at this moment and for our whole lives. As we join our lives together, let us vow to live in truth, to always communicate fully, to hold each other against the wind, to feel our hearts joined as one. To you I give myself and everything I will ever be. Wherever our journey leads us, I promise to walk with you arm in arm, hand in hand, to hold you as your wife and to learn from you, love you, and surprise you, as long as we both shall live.""Laurel," he slid the ring onto my fourth finger. "With this ring, I solemnly swear to support you, to love you as you love me, through all hardship, darkness, and pain to reach for our joys, our hopes, and always with honesty and faith. All I have in this world I give to you, I promise to hold and keep you, comfort, protect, and shelter you, for all the da
Five years later,______________________Laurel picked up the picture frame on her on desk and stared at it, slowly running her fingers over the solid frame that had her, Kurt and their daughter, Mirabelle in it. They were happy, no doubts but constantly to her, it always felt like something was missing whenever she held this picture. Like someone was missing and that led her back to five years ago. Five years ago when they lost the baby they never knew they were expecting, and the doctors told her that she couldn't give birth again due to some complications as a result of the accident she encountered, five years ago.She certainly could agree that at first, she wasn't prepared to be a mother again because she had never learn how to. But rethinking it, she discovered that everyone has a right to second chance. Everyone has the right to be given a chance at something they're probably not good at. And that was when she lost her. Her second chance. She wondered if that chance would ever c
~Laurel~Mira and I were in the kitchen making breakfast while Kurt was seated in the dining room, reading the paper. The house was swimming with servants, actually because they were preparing for the dinner party that would take place later on the terrace. Kurt wanted to throw a small party to introduce Genevieve to our families. I couldn't object, probably because I didn't see a reason why he couldn't introduce his so-called new daughter to everyone."Am I supposed to greet you good morning?" Mira and I paused when we heard a not-so familiar voice in the dining room."It's a sign of respect, so yes.""I never greeted anyone at the foster home.""You will now. This isn't a foster home, this is your home now."I mounted into the living room, just in time only to see Kurt and Genevieve seated, having a conversation."So," Kurt started. "Your new room, do you like it?""Sincerely, no."I shot my gaze to her. Ungrateful little bitch! Mira decorated that room few years back. "Care to tell
~Laurel~"Welcome to the family, Genevieve." Claps filled the air. Even though that wasn't what I expected. I had an uncomfortable feeling about this. Why would our families just accept her like that?"Hey, I need you to meet someone." Mira took her with a smile and she reluctantly followed. "My nephew, Kris and my niece, Kara." She introduced Katy and Wesley's kids to her. The little girl Kara, said hello unlike Kris, who shot her a, 'I don't like you look.' I couldn't blame him. I also felt the same way."Hi. Name's Gen. Nice to meet you both."Kara smiled. "Nice to meet you too, Gen. Can you be my friend?""Um, I don't think that's a good idea. You see, I don't like kids," Kara frowned. "Oh no, I don't mean it that way. What I meant was that I... Ugh. Fine. I'll be your friend. So Kara, what games are we playing tonight?"Kara jumped down from her Nanny's lap and took her hand. "Come with me! Mommy has most of my toys. I bet she'll show it to you. C'mon!" Genevieve followed with a
~Laurel~~"I ran you a bath," Kurt informed as he crept up beside me on the bed. "Think you can manage to stand properly on your own?""No need to treat me like a weakling. I'm the strongest woman you've ever met." I snuggled into him. "Let's just stay like this. For a while. Damn, you smell so good.""Is that so?""Yeah and I can't believe you just did that.""Did what?" He pulled my body closer to his."Hand fuck me in the kitchen. What if someone had seen us? Or rather, walk in on us?""Well, we could just tell them we're doing our regular exercise. Wait, are you shy, Laurel?" He said and looked down at me.I slapped his leg and pushed it off mine. "Shy for what? I'm just being cautious, asshole. Don't look so smug.""Right.""God, I hate you. You just had to interrupt me in the kitchen, didn't you?""It's not as if you knew what you were doing, Laurel. Don't run your mouth about it.""Oh yeah? That's not a very nice thing to say to your over-emotional wife.""You mean when she's p
~Laurel~"What do you mean by you can't believe I just said all that?" I ran my hand through my hair frustratedly. "Someone had to put her in her place.""I didn't ask you to say those things to her. I didn't ask you to make a pick between the two of us. You said it yourself that Gen's my sister. Do you really think by telling her all those stuffs, she wouldn't have a reason to move out of this place?""Then I don't care! If she wants to leave, she can leave! I'm done fighting for someone who isn't worth fighting for. No child of mine would ever behave that way!""Laurel!" The door burst open and Kurt stepped in. He was so furious, the look on his face was murderous but he calmed a bit when he saw Mirabelle. "Honey, can you please leave us alone for a moment?"Reluctantly, Mira let her gaze roamed from Kurt's to mine. "Dad..""Mira?""Okay." Slowly, she started for the door, shut Kurt and I one last look before walking out and closing the door softly behind her.Kurt faced me. "You're
