Se connecterLaura's POV.I opened my eyes, only to feel pain. My wrists were burning. I could see red marks on it.My head was banging so badly. I didn't even have the time to think about myself, before my memory went to my babies.They were literally the one humans I cared so much about. My breathing became faster than ever, I tried so hard to calm myself from panicking.I tried to move, but something held my hands tightly behind the chair. I looked down to see that my wrists were tied with an extremely thick rope, alongside my ankles. Darkness surrounded me.I was too stunned. Then my brain began to process everything, I remembered the van that stopped by me and the hefty men that carried me into the van. All of this happened to me, just because I stepped out of Lucas' penthouse without any guidance. At the end of it all, his name was the first I screamed out so I would get saved but they ended up taking me away.I felt so scared. My eyes brought out tears that flowed down my cheeks, I had fuc
Lucas's POV.I was already so tired from having so many meetings. I just wanted to come home and rest with Laura beside me despite the fact that I still haven't found out the full truth.I knew that Laura really loved to play music so I was expecting to hear that but the entire penthouse was very quiet. I rushed immediately to Laura's room because that was when she was meant to be but I couldn't find her lying on the bed. “Laura, are you in the bathroom? I'm back home now.” I said.I didn't hear her say anything to me. I rushed towards the bathroom but when I checked she wasn't in there. I knew for a fact that she wasn't in the room because, if she was. She would have probably heard me and responded to me.I left the room and rushed towards the elevator. That was when I saw the men I had assigned to that particular spot to guard it from letting Laura step out of her room.I could already sense the nervousness in their body language as soon as they saw me.“Where is she?” “Sir. Mis
Laura's POV.I was slowly losing my mind inside Lucas' penthouse. All I ever did was to eat, sleep, rest, read novels, and sleep again.I had been repeating one pattern of lifestyle for so many days over and over again. I sat on my bed with a spoiled mood, while rubbing my face.I knew that the excuse of a man called Lucas is driving me insane. He had turned into some overprotective monster ever since the hospital incident. He wouldn't even let me go anywhere. Everywhere I turned to go to, they were always guards securing the place.Even the chefs downstairs looked at me like I was some fragile glass object. Everything just irritated me, but a small part of me liked it.I stood up slowly, walking to the mirror. My stomach was beginning to show now, it wasn't too obvious but it was enough for me to notice but someone else wouldn't.I don't know if it was my imagination but I could see something there. It wasn't a baby bump though, but an expansion of my stomach.Lucas knew I was pregn
Lucas's POV.“You are angry with me, right? You haven't said a word to me since we got into the car” Laura said, my eyes were focused on the road as I kept on driving.“I should be so angry with you.”“Why do you have to be angry with me when you don't even understand anything?”“That is why I have always asked you for an explanation but you never give anyone to me. So explain everything if you don't want me to be upset at you.”“I can’t do that.”“Oh my heavens. Please spare me Laura, there you go again with the same repetitive words that my ears are so tired of hearing.”“By the way. Let me ask you before I forget, why do you even care this much about me?”“Are you seriously asking me that?”“Yes I am.”“Then, there is no response for you. Don't bug me, I have things that I am thinking about. Because you still don't realize the fact that I nearly lost my damn mind looking for you.”“Lucas please. Don't even get started.”“I should be saying that to you. And you don't even get to say
Lucas's POV.The moment the doctor walked away from me, my head became a complete mess. I knew that Laura was definitely hiding something from me and it was something huge.My phone rang in my pocket and I pulled out my phone, picking up the call.“Talk.”“Boss,” one of my men said quickly. “There is some movement downstairs.”“What kind of movement?”“Three men. They came through the back elevator pretending to be hospital staffs.”“Where are they now?”“We stopped them before they reached Laura’s floor.” he replied and I started walking immediately.“Don’t let them leave.” I ordered, entering the elevator with two security men beside me.The moment the elevator door opened, I rushed out and as soon as my eyes landed on them, I saw chaos.One of the fake doctors was pinned against the wall while another security guard twisted a gun out of his hand.A nurse was already shouting and crying nearby. Then one of my men walked toward me fast.“They were sent here by someone we don't know a
Lucas's POV.I stood outside Laura’s hospital room with my heart racing in my chest. The image of her collapsing on the floor kept replaying inside my head over and over again. One second she was arguing with me.The next second her body went completely weak against mine.“Sir, please calm down,” one of the nurses said carefully.“I am calm.” I said, but it was only me that knew that I wasn't calm, I wasn't even close to being it.I slipped my fingers through my hair and looked towards the emergency room door again.Three doctors were inside with her. Why the hell did she need three doctors?I could still remember the way every employee in the office had stared at me when I carried Laura in my arms outside. Nobody even tried pretending not to look.But honestly? I didn’t care. They were all allowed to talk and gossip, the only thing that mattered was Laura opening her eyes again.A doctor finally stepped out of the room and I moved instantly, rushing towards the doctor.“What happene
