LOGINLaura'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 sounded far away. I closed my eyes again, I felt too weak to even try to look at anyone.I felt pressure on my cheeks. It felt as though someone was tapping me with so much urgency.“Laura. Don't sleep off, please open your eyes.” I heard Lucas' voice again. This time around I could sense the desperation in his voice. He wanted me to stay awake so badly, so I had to try for his sake.I tried opening my eyes properly, but my head hurt badly. My breathing became uneven as I held onto his shirt with weak fingers.“Lucas.” I muttered.“I’m here baby. I'm here for you.” he replied. The way he said those words almost made me cry again.The gunshots had stopped behind us, but my ears were still ringi
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 finally said, he turned to look at me.“Move her to where exactly?” Chad asked.“A safer location. I don't want Lucas to come here to look for her, something in me tells me that he is going to come for her very soon.”“She is already locked up over here. There is no way he's going to trespass here so I don't think you should be worried about that.”“And Lucas already found one of our properties. I have to inform you in case you don't know or probably you have forgotten. Obviously how would you know about anything since you're busy chasing a woman that doesn't want you.” I lashed out at him. I could see the anger and frustration on his face.“He found the house?”“He came here personally. I ju
Victor’s POV.I slammed the glass against the wall so hard that the alcohol splashed on the floor.“Sir.”“Get out!” I screamed as the employee rushed out of my office immediately.My chest burned with rage as I stared at the television mounted across the room. Red numbers flashed aggressively on the business channel.MORGAN INDUSTRIES STOCKS CRASH OVERNIGHT.I knew it was Lucas Harrison. Only one man would dare hit me with this publicly, it was only one man that would have the guts to stab me slowly instead of coming directly for my throat.I grabbed the remote and muted the television before turning to my personal assistant.“How bad is it?” I asked as he swallowed nervously.“We lost three investors this morning already.”“And what else?”“Our shipping contracts are being suspended one after another.”I chuckled at his own words. Because I knew exactly what Lucas was doing, that bastard was destroying me piece by piece.Financially first, then it would be publicly then personally.
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 to express at that moment was to scream loudly as I placed my hand on my stomach.I thought that if I had placed my hand on my stomach and just rubbed it a little bit, then the pain would subside but it wasn't even getting any better because this time around it pushed me to the floor so hard that I had to balance on the floor with one knee. “Please be careful ma'am. Allow me to lift you up.” one of the men said as he tried to touch me but I shifted my body away from him.“Don’t touch me!” I cried out in a shaky voice as sweat covered my face immediately. The pain became worse for me and the only thing that was going through my head at that particular point in time was just fear of what co
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. “Just help mommy survive this.”Tears burned my eyes instantly but I wiped them away angrily. Crying would not save me when Lucas was searching for me.I knew he was. But I also knew I could not sit around waiting helplessly while dangerous men held me hostage. Knowing fully well that these men could also prove as a harm to Lucas' life.I had to help myself too. I slowly got up from the bed.“Damn it.” I cursed out as I held the wall briefly before forcing myself to move.The apartment Victor kept me in looked luxurious, but it was still a prison. The windows were locked and the doors were guarded.I quietly walked toward the door and pressed my ear against it. I couldn't hear anything which w
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 used to look at me with so much love once upon a time in our lives. Now she looked at me like I was dirt under her shoes, that she had been trying to clean off her for so long.“What are you doing here? Before you even get the opportunity to say anything to me. I want you to leave right now.” she yelled in an authoritative voice but I chose to disobey her words and I shut the door behind me immediately but slowly.“My father said you have been very difficult towards him.” I said. She ended up doing the exact thing she always did to me. Whenever I spoke, she would always chuckle at my words as though they never made any sense to her.“Your father kidnapped me and you expected me to welcome him
