تسجيل الدخولLucas'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?
Laura's POV.“I'm so happy to be back with you again. I really missed your trouble Zara.” I said.“I missed you more, my best friend. I can never trade you for anyone else in this world.”“Not even me, your dad? I never thought there would be a day where my daughter would have to choose someone else over me.” Lucas said, expressing a sad face that wasn't even sad but just teasing us.“Oh please dad. You should consider yourself lucky that I am loving the woman you love. What if I loved and chose another man over you, would you be able to handle the betrayal?” Zara asked, smiling at Lucas.“I wouldn't be able to handle it though but I can promise you I won't die because I am a strong man. If I die, who will take care of my darling and sweet Laura?” he teased as we all bursted out laughing.“Anyways, tell me Zara. Have you prepared names casting for my unborn children, practically your step siblings?” I asked and she widened her eyes at me.“You can't say that to me. Oh my God, are you
Laura's POV.I was halfway through a novel when Lucas walked into the living room. While reading the novel I was fantasizing about the proposal I got from Lucas.But now, he was in front of me and my attention was supposed to be on him instead of the novel. There was a worried look on his face and that alone made me lower my novel on my thighs."What happened baby? You look extremely disturbed.”“Because I am.” he replied, glancing at his phone before dropping his body onto the couch beside me."My men found nothing. They lost track of Victor.”"What do you mean they lost him?""I mean he is gone. The last report suggests he left the country, but you don't have to worry. I know he will surely come back because he hasn't settled all scores yet with us. But the next time he comes back we will definitely nab him and make sure he doesn't escape again.”For months Victor had been a shadow hanging over our lives. Now, he has disappeared and that should have made me happy but I was only more
Laura's POV.The ring was still in front of me, Lucas was still looking at me. And somehow the whole world had gone quiet.My heart was beating so hard that it almost hurt. I was speechless for almost two minutes and I just couldn't say anything."Laura?" Lucas called out to me. I wouldn't lie, this was the first time he had ever called my name with so much softness. And I would say that if you ask me again in the future when he calls my name again, I will tell you that he has never called my name so softly like that.I looked down at him. To the man who had taken a bullet for me, I was probably such a bad woman. I was supposed to treat my man's injuries but instead I was focused on getting my perfect and happy ending I had always dreamed of.But I also couldn't help but think about the man who had refused to talk, fighting for me even when I kept pushing him away. I became emotional all over again as tears filled up my eyes."Say something, princess. I have been waiting for you to sp
Laura's POV.I woke up to hearing Lucas swearing under his breath.“At this point, they are just inventing nonsense,” he muttered.I pushed myself up slowly from the bed. “What happened now?”Lucas looked away from the television like he didn’t want me seeing it, but it was already too late.My fac
Laura's POV.I remembered falling unconscious. I still remembered Lucas calling out my name, I didn't know if I was dreaming it not. Not until I slowly opened my eyes.Lucas lifted me up in his arms as he carried me into the back seat of his car.“Laura. Laura, look at me.” he said but his voice so
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
