Se connecterLucas's POV.Laura's words stayed in my head. She told me to be a father to Zara, I sat alone for several minutes before I finally forced myself to leave the study room. She literally left me there all by myself alone.I found Laura sitting on the couch, reading a novel she clearly wasn't paying attention to. She looked up immediately she noticed my presence."You finally came out."“Yes I did. Where's Zara?" I asked, Laura closed the novel in her hands before responding to me."She is in her room.""Is she sleeping?""I don't think so.""I guess I should talk to her." I said, rubbing my forehead in anxiety. "You should.""But I don't know what to say.""Don't think about it too much.""What?""Stop trying to find perfect words.""I'll only make things worse.""You already did. But she's still waiting for you, she is your daughter afterall.” she said with so much honesty and her words stung deep into me. I just let out a frustrated sigh."You really don't let me hide, do you?""I fel
Lucas's POV."What do you mean by I'm not your daughter?" Zara asked, her words breaking me.Zara stood at the bottom of the staircase, tears rolling down her cheeks before anyone had the chance to answer her. "Zara. Take it easy, you aren't feeling good.” Laura said. Zara's eyes weren't on her but on me."Dad. Please tell me all of this is a lie?” she asked. I just couldn't say anything to her. I was used to negotiating billion-dollar deals without breaking a sweat while staring at different men stern faces but the little girl I raised all by myself. I couldn't say a word to her anymore."Dad." she whispered again. "Say something, please. I'm talking to you.”“Baby, Zara is talking to you. At least give her an a swear, she's already feeling so bad.” Laura said, tapping me gently."My personal doctor, Nathan Rab a DNA test on both of us.” I managed to say as Nathan cleared his throat.“This is a family matter so I would love to excuse myself. See you some other time, Lucas.” Nathan
Lucas's POV.Three damn fucking days was how long I waited. In those days, I pretended everything was normal.Three days of watching Zara laugh at breakfast and listening to her argue with me over stupid things.I kept on looking at her and thinking about a report I never should have agreed to. I already had regrets.The doorbell rang as I pressed a button on my phone and the entrance door opened. Laura finally looked up, she had been pressing her phone for several hours.Dr. Nathan Reed stepped in holding a large sealed envelope. Everywhere began to suddenly feel suffocating for me, especially when I saw his expression.He walked closer to us and from his expression, I could already have a hint of what was about to happen."Lucas." he called out."Just fucking give it to me." I said and he handed over the envelope to me. I wrapped my hands around it and suddenly it felt heavier than how any paper should feel.Laura stood up immediately, moving to me. She was so close to me that I fel
Lucas's POVI read the message again, I was taking in the words into my head as though I was trying to register it in my brain.The words refused to change, even though I didn't want to believe it and Laura had gone completely silent even though she was beside me.The only thing I could hear was my own heartbeat pounding inside my head."No."The word left my mouth before I even realized it."No."I shook my head."This is nonsense." I stood up from the couch instantly and due to my force on it, the couch nearly tipped over."This is some sick joke."My eyes dropped to the attachment on the message. It was a partial DNA Report.I opened it, reading through a few lines with medical terms, numbers, and references. It wasn't complete or even conclusive.But it was just enough information to plant doubt in a person's mind and also to destroy someone's peace."What kind of person does this?" I muttered as Laura carefully reached for my arm."Lucas."I pulled away from her. I wasn't angry w
Laura's POV."Move!"Lucas's voice echoed through the hospital as he carried Zara in his arms. Zara wasn't fully unconscious yet, she would close her eyes and then she would open her eyes frequently. It felt as though her body was fluctuating."Dad. Please save me.” she begged with a weak voice. All I did was rush behind them."I'm here, sweetheart.""Don't cry.""I'm not crying. I won't cry, you raised me to be a strong woman.”I looked at Lucas and nearly broke down myself. He was absolutely terrified for his daughter.The strong, confident man who faced criminals without fear looked completely helpless. A team of nurses rushed toward us."Put her here." one of the nurses said. Lucas carefully laid Zara on the hospital bed."What happened?" a doctor asked."She fainted but she regained consciousness. She is currently weak.”"Any previous medical condition?""No.""Any allergies?""No.""When did she last eat?" the doctor asked and Lucas rubbed his forehead."At dinner.""That is oka
Laura's POV."Why are there so many people in this penthouse today?" I asked, staring at the unfamiliar women carrying garment bags through the living room.Lucas didn't even look up from his phone while I spoke, then he spoke all of a sudden."That is because we have somewhere to be." he said, I raised my eyebrow at him."Somewhere?""We have a family dinner to attend.”"Did you just say a family dinner?""Yes I did.”"With who exactly?""With someone." Lucas replied, looking up at me. I groaned at him in annoyance."That is not an answer.""It is the only answer you are getting, my love.” he said. I just clearly knew he was trying to tease me. Zara walked into the room at that moment."Dad, are we being kidnapped?" she questioned. Lucas sighed out dramatically."No we aren't.”"Then why are there strangers measuring me? I mean they just walked up to me in the other room and asked to measure me. They were polite though, while taking in my measurements.”"They are designers.""For me?
Victor's POV.“Since you want Lucas destroyed. Can I perhaps know your next move? What is your next move so I can help you out with it if I can actually do it.” Chad asked, staring at me like a serious business mind person. Then I looked toward the security monitors.“We will move her tonight.” I f
Laura's POV.“Miss Laura, please be careful. You are pregnant.” I heard Victor's man scream loudly but I ignored him and I still kept on running. Suddenly I felt a very sharp pain moving into my stomach instantly. I didn't even know how to take in the pain anymore and the only reaction I could get
Laura's POV.I waited until the apartment became very quiet. I couldn't hear footsteps or voices anymore outside the door.I slowly sat up from the chair and pressed my trembling hand against my stomach. The mistake they made was to not tie me up again.“Please,” I whispered softly to my babies. “J
Chad's POV.I pushed the door open quietly and stepped into the room. As soon as I stepped my legs inside, Laura was vigilant enough to take in her surroundings as she looked up at me and I could see the hatred in her eyes.The hatred in her eyes was so deep that I felt it. It was funny how she use
