View MoreLaura picked up the phone call immediately. "Hello, Daniel." She answered, her voice tense."Hey Laura, I'm just coming back from the company, are you still at your parents' house?" Daniel inquired, taking off his suit. Laura went ahead to tell him that she was at the hospital with her dad. "My Mom had a cardiac arrest and we are at the hospital right now." She explained worriedly."What happened? She sounded just fine this morning." Daniel piqued. With a nod, Laura answered, "We were having a conversation in the living room about Bryan and suddenly, she began to act strange and fell to the floor. With the help of my dad who arrived immediately, we were able to rush her to the hospital." Laura stated, exhaling deeply.Feigning to care, Daniel asked, "How is she doing right now?" "She's still in the emergency room but she's awake," Laura answered. "Alright, I'm coming to the hospital right now," Daniel revealed.

He shouted, gesturing with his hand to Laura as she looked confused and shocked.Mr. Markson kicked the car immediately and took off, heading straight to the hospital. "Mom, wake up!" Laura kept calling out to Claudia, stroking her shoulder. Claudia was already unconscious and didn't move a finger."Laura, what happened?" Mr. Markson asked, speeding up. "We were having a conversation about Bryan and suddenly, she began to scream 'My chest!!' and fell to the ground.Mr. Markson shook his head, he was lost and confused, "I don't get you Laura, I'm actually confused right now.

Laura was getting ready to leave the mansion, and Daniel was too. "I'm leaving, Daniel," Laura said, picking up her handbag and preparing to exit the room. As Daniel packed some documents into his briefcase, he glanced at Laura and reminded her, "Make sure you come home soon," sounding authoritative.Laura nervously nodded her head, forcing a smile before departing. "Sure thing, boss," she muttered, rolling her eyes dramatically as she descended the stairs. Even though Laura and Daniel had gotten close, Daniel was still bossy, which made Laura feel uneasy.When Laura got to her parents' house, she swiftly went into the house to see her Mom, "Mom!" She called out upon entering the house. "I'm in the kitchen Laura!" Claudia answered. Laura navigated to the kitchen immediately to meet her Mom."Hey, Mom," Laura whispered, her voice carrying a hint of sadness as she wrapped her arms around her mother. "I'm glad you're here, Laura. How's Daniel?" Claudia asked, turning to look at her daugh
Laura was interrupted suddenly by her mom's phone ringing. "My mom's calling again, I have to answer this," she said, reaching for her phone on the left. Daniel, showing a mix of anger and curiosity, forced a smile and nodded."Hi Mom," Laura replied calmly. Claudia immediately began to tell Laura how Bryan, her brother, had left the house. "Laura, your brother has left the house," she said. Laura's eyes widened in disbelief. "What?" she exclaimed, feeling confused."What do you mean he left?" Laura asked, dropping her cutlery onto the tray. "We had a disagreement, and he just up and left. Your brother's being so stubborn lately, he's completely out of control, Laura!" Claudia exclaimed, frustration racing through her."That boy has completely crossed the line! How can he be so irresponsible? After everything that's happened, he won't even reconsider his life choices?" Laura lamented, her voice filled with tension.Sitting beside her, Daniel signaled for Laura to calm down and take it
Bryan pushed himself up from the bed, his heart racing as he hastily stuffed a handful of clothes into a small bag. "Mom, please, just let me go," he pleaded, his voice strained with emotion. "Wherever I end up, I'll be okay." He paused, taking a deep, shaky breath.Claudia shook her head in disappointment, her tone firm. "No, Bryan, you're not going anywhere. Haven't you caused us enough trouble already? You really need to get it together!" She exclaimed, her frustration evident.Unfortunately, Mr. Markson wasn't home when all of this unfolded, leaving Claudia to deal with the situation alone. She did her best, but Bryan was being particularly challenging. "Do you even care how your dad would react to this?" Claudia exclaimed, her voice laced with frustration and anger."I don't care, Mom! And besides, he's not even my real dad!" Bryan interrupted, his tone disrespectful. Claudia's frustration boiled over, and she slapped him. "How dare you, Bryan? How dare you raise your voice at me
After some time, Laura felt compelled to inquire of Daniel, "Are you being genuine?" Her voice was quiet and composed. Daniel looked puzzled, furrowing his brow as he asked, "What do you mean?" Turning towards Laura.Laura sat up slowly on the bed, saying, "I'm referring to everything. Your love and affection, are they authentic? Daniel, I need you to be honest with me just this once." Laura expressed, clasping her hands together.Daniel chuckled softly as he gently took Laura's hands. "Laura, I understand I've been different in various ways, but trust me when I tell you that what I'm feeling at this moment is entirely new to me. I realize it might be difficult for you to believe me given our history, but I am sincerely in love with you," Daniel admitted.Laura, being a woman, was moved by his confession. She felt conflicted because she had recently broken up with Harold yet still harbored feelings for him. Unknown to Daniel, Laura was struggling with her emotions, remaining silent."
"Harold! Harold," Sidney called out, slamming the door, but there was no response from Harold. "Fine! Suit yourself. I'm leaving, and I'm not coming back!" She yelled angrily, grabbed her purse, and left.Harold slowly sat on the floor, resting his back against the door. He buried his face in his knees and continued sobbing. "Why is love so hard?" He muffled helplessly.While in the cab, Laura sobbed silently, continuously wiping her tears, she was so pained and frustrated. Laura hoped for things to get better between her and Harold after visiting him, but instead, she ended everything with him.As the sun began to set, Laura felt a growing sense of fear about how Daniel would react to her tardiness. Glancing at her watch, she saw that it was already 6:10 pm. She covered her face with her hands and muttered under her breath, "This is not good." She knew that Daniel would be upset if she didn't have a good excuse for why she hadn't been answering his calls.Laura retrieved her phone an
Laura felt bugged and pissed with Daniel's calls. "Is Daniel crazy or what? Why can't he let me breathe?" She muttered with a deep sigh. Daniel was extremely anxious to know where Laura had gone, but he didn't have a clue. "She mentioned she wanted to spend time at the plaza. Where else could she have gone?" Daniel wondered, furrowing his brows. Daniel chose to wait at home until she returned, but the question of Laura's whereabouts weighed heavily on his mind as he drove home, feeling restless.Meanwhile, Laura arrived at Harold's house and cautiously stepped out of the cab, feeling a bit nervous. "I hope Harold and I can settle things smoothly so we can go back to how we used to be," she thought.As she approached the door, she could hear the echo of laughter call coming from Harold's apartment making her wonder who he was with. "Who's in there with Harold?" she pondered, reaching out to ring the doorbell.She paused briefly, hesitating about whether to ring the bell. "Perhaps I'l
"Laura, everything is fine. Daniel and I had a discussion," Mr. Markson said, trying to hide his nervousness. Daniel smirked at Mr. Markson and turned to Laura, saying, "Yeah, we talked and sorted things out. We're good now." Mr. Markson forced a smile and added, "Yes, we're good, Daniel."Laura looked at her father and Daniel suspiciously, furrowing her brows. "We have to go, Laura," Daniel said, getting up from his seat. Claudia, Laura's mother, felt uneasy about everything her daughter had told her and was unsure about what could happen next. She held Laura's hand and whispered, "Please be careful."Laura nodded, turned to Daniel, and began following him out slowly. However, Mr. Markson refused to get up from his seat. Claudia signaled him to come with them, but he remained seated, boiling with anger. Claudia went closer to him and whispered assertively, "I know you're not happy, but let's at least pretend for now. Let's go see them off." She held Mr. Markson's hand, hinting at him
