Laura's heart raced with each step she took toward her father's house as memories of her childhood flooded her mind. But as she approached the front door, it creaked open, and Bryan darted out quickly."Wait, Bryan!" Laura called out.Bryan turned around, a half-smile on his face. "Hey, Laura. I'm sort of in a rush. Can we catch up later?" Laura's frustration began to simmer. "No, Bryan. This can't wait. I need to talk to Mom, Dad, and you. It's important."Bryan hesitated, glancing at his watch. "I've got plans too, Laura. Can't it wait?"Laura's urgency intensified. "Bryan, this concerns all of us. It's about Daniel Edward.""Okay, let's go inside," Laura said. "You can go to your appointment later. But please be careful in whatever you do or wherever you go."For a moment, Bryan's eyes flickered with concern, but then he shook his head. "Sorry, Laura. I can't. This is someone I've been waiting to meet for months."Laura's frustration boiled over. "Bryan, for once, can't you priorit
Daniel Edward, With his wealth and connections, seemed untouchable, but she refused to let him get away with his crimes. She and her parents strategised endlessly, trying to figure out how to use his crimes against him to save Bryan.As they discussed their plans, there was a sharp knock at the door. Mr. Anderson entered the room, his face stern. "Good day, everyone," he greeted.Mr Markson politely welcomed him and asked hopefully, "I hope there's good news?"Mr. Anderson responded, his tie adjusting, "Well, as you know, this is a tough case, and I'm doing everything I can to keep Bryan safe."Curiously, he asked where Bryan was. Mr Markson replied that Bryan had gone out. "He needs to take this case seriously," Mr. Anderson warned. "Daniel Edward is no joke." With that, the room fell silent, and everyone realised the gravity of the situation.Mr Anderson firmly explained to Bryan's family that the court hearing was in a week, and there were some crucial questions he needed to ask Br
Laura's heart was racing as she walked down the hallway. Tonight was different. For the first time, she felt like she belonged with Daniel's family. But then, there was Edward Reynolds. He had been so kind to her earlier, but she couldn't shake the fear that Harriet would turn him against her.Laura glanced at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath. She couldn't let her nerves get the best of her. As she walked out of the bathroom, Daniel appeared and called out to her."Dad wants to see you," he said, his tone suspicious.Laura's stomach twisted in knots. What could Edward want? Was there a problem? She quickly dressed and made her way to the living room, hoping for the best but fearing the worst.As Laura approached Edward Reynolds, she confidently said, "You called me dad?""Yes, dear," Edward replied, standing up. "Can you come outside with me?" He asked.Laura felt a twinge of nerves, but she didn't let it show. Meanwhile, Harriet was enjoying a body massage from one of the
Laura woke up with a start and muttered to herself, "I almost forgot I have to be at the house today." Her heart raced with realizing the day's expected agenda, and she quickly exited the bed.As she glanced towards the closed bathroom door, the sound of running water echoed through the air, and she realized that Daniel was taking his bath. "Alright then, let me pick out my clothes for the day," she said quietly.Laura took a little time to choose her outfit, and by the time Daniel walked out of the bathroom, she was ready. But he refused to answer her greeting, and she ignored his behavior.She dashed into the bathroom and sank into the warm embrace of the bath, feeling grateful and excited about her new car. When she was all done, walking out of the room, she met her father-in-law, Edward Reynolds, in the hallway."Up so early, Laura?" he said, striding towards her. "Where are you going?" he asked with a smile."I'm off to the plaza, Dad; I have some appointments," she said calmly.
Anderson leaned forward, his gaze unwavering, as he addressed Bryan and his family. "We have a challenge ahead, but we can tackle this. Bryan, the situation looks grim with your jacket at the crime scene, but we've got options. We must establish an airtight alibi and refute any assumptions against Bryan."Claudia interjected, her tension etched on her face. "How do we prove he wasn't there? They found his jacket!"Anderson's voice remained firm. "We will start by gathering witness statements and evidence that place Bryan somewhere else during the attack. We must also hire a forensics expert to examine the jacket for any signs of tampering or alternate explanations. If we can prove that it was manipulated or planted, it would weaken their case."Bryan, his confidence shaken, looked at Anderson with a glimmer of hope. "But what if none of this works? What if they think I still did it?"Anderson reassured Bryan that they would build a strong defense and present the evidence logically. "W
As Laura drove home, she couldn't help but think about the magical power of love. She never expected it to happen to her, but here she was, deeply in love. Laura let out a deep sigh, wondering what she would do now.When she finally arrived home, Vennessa, her maid, greeted her warmly. "Yeah, where's everyone?" She asked. Vennessa informed her that everyone had finished dinner and gone upstairs. As she made her way up, she noticed that Daniel wasn't in the room, "Where could that arrogant man be?" She thought as she took off her shoes.Just as she was wondering where he could be, her phone buzzed, and she saw that Harold was calling. A smile spread across her face as she answered the call, her heart beating faster."Hey, dear," she whispered in a soft tone, feeling excited to hear his voice. "Are you home now?" Harold asked in his calm and soothing voice.Laura replied affirmatively, and Harold told her that he was just checking to ensure she got home safely. Laura couldn't resist be
Harriet joined Edward and his Dad in the sitting room, "Good morning, Mom. How was your night?" Daniel greeted.Harriet replied with a smile, "It was great, my dear," she tapped his shoulder and sat on the sofa.Harriet then informed Daniel that she and his father would be leaving soon. She said they had family company matters to attend to. "Exactly, son," Edward Reynolds said in a calm voice."I will miss you guys, it has been wonderful having you both around," Daniel said with a sad tone.Edward Reynolds chuckled, "We will always be here for you, son, and remember, Laura is also here. I would like to have a quick chat with you guys before I leave," he said firmly.Daniel agreed, but Harriet was enraged when her husband mentioned 'Laura', her face twisted in anger.Harriet was upset because she had tried many times to disparage Laura to Edward Reynolds, but he did not believe her. Edward Reynolds loved Laura deeply and saw her as the daughter he never had.Harriet remained silent dur
Daniel couldn't believe the sudden feelings he had developed for Laura. He sat on his bed, trying to rationalize his emotions. Despite his confusion, he knew he couldn't tell Laura how he felt after what he had done to her family."How can I be feeling this way? I can't tell her how I feel after what I did to her family," he muttered. As he sat there, deep in thought, Laura returned home. Daniel had stayed in the room all day, pondering his feelings towards her. "Good evening," she greeted.He nodded, trying to conceal his emotions.He wondered if his feelings were because he had slept with her. Laura walked past him, dropped her purse and shoes, and went into the bathroom. Daniel's breathing quickened as he struggled to keep pretending to hate Laura.Laura emerged from the bathroom, applying skincare lotion to her body. Daniel couldn't take his eyes off her, with a subtle eyebrow raised, he gazed at her. But he knew he couldn't reveal his true feelings. Unbeknownst to him, Laura not
