Lisa led Laura to the gate of the church in the wheelchair. Laura has become too weak to walk and got exhaustedly tired in the preparation of her wedding. Everyone tried their best to give her rest as more as they can as she insisted on walking the aisle by herself.
Their father, Frank Mathew was already standing at the gate eagerly waiting for his both daughters, he looked at Laura who is in her bridal attire. He smiled warmly at her but when he noticed the wheelchair in which she was sitting, he frowned sadly and his eyes filled up with tears making his heart heavy with guilt.“Laura…” He choked at his words and barely whisper her name in a painful sigh.“Dad, today isn’t a day to shed tears, today we only cherish our blessings not a single sad moment,” Lisa said cheerfully giving her father a side hug and then kissing Laura’s forehead with love.“I need to go…” She told her and Laura nodded in underThe night sky was aglow with bright city lights. The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky. A man with his bride in his arms entered a huge villa, he kicked the door closed. The whole place was lit up by scented candles.He climbed up the stairs, straight to their bedroom and once he opened it, the strong smell of roses filled their nose. The whole place was decorated with roses.Very gently, Steven placed Laura on the bed, she looked around, amused, and then asked, surprised, “This…?”“A small wedding gift to my wife.” Steven smiled while revealing. Laura’s lips formed a little “O” in disbelief and then she excitedly pulled him closer, “Thank you.” Kissing his lips, he thanked her with bright eyes staring at him lovingly.“Tomorrow, I’ll show you the whole place,” Steven told her and then sat beside her. “Are you okay?” He asked in concern.&ld
The next morning, the woman moved in her sleep but couldn’t really move, her waist was pinned down heavily by an arm, she groaned and moved in irritation but couldn’t move the strong arm from her waist.“Steve…” She yelled in a complete hoarse voice and finally, the man loosened his grip and then opened his droopy eyes. “Morning wifey…” He smiled and said cheekily but Laura didn’t show any happiness, she scowled and then said angrily, “Take this dress off me, I need to use the bathroom.”Steven looked down at her crumpled dress and then at her flushed face, he quickly get up and helped her and Laura rushed to the washroom. Her bladder was full and it was difficult for her to control herself.Steven stood outside with a pair of clean pajamas in his hand and when she came out, he helped her in wearing them. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude.” Laura apologized looking guilty.&ldquo
After breakfast, Mr. Xavier handed her the medicine as instructed by Steven. Laura smiled happily all the time when Mr. Xavier was giving her a tour of the house.She spent a lot of her time sitting in the garden, she liked the fresh and cold breeze and soon a voice of a parked car interrupted her peace. She tilted her head to look in the direction and was completely shocked to see Augustus and Lisa walking towards her with Tommaso, Simon, and Maria.“Here…” Augustus said tiredly and handed Tommaso to Laura before he would greet her.“Augustus…” Lisa scolded Augustus angrily and Augustus rolled his eyes, unhappily. “Fine..” He took back Tommaso from Laura’s hands and Laura chuckled, bemused.“What was that for?”“He ruined my sleep for the whole night, Laura and still I am the bad here…” Augustus complained like a child and sat beside Laura with Tommaso in his hands who wa
The loud music in the club was bursting Laura’s ears and she winced uncomfortably. The warm arm held her shoulders giving her support and comfort.Laura squeezed out a small smile and kept walking to the bar with Steven beside her, supporting her all the time.After he made Laura sit on the stool, he then left to talk with a bartender about Daniel. Laura’s eyes were eagerly searching for her brother but she couldn’t spot him.“He isn’t here, I have got his address, we should go and look for him there,” Steven said in her ear and she nodded in response.***A man wearing a simple tee and jeans was walking lazily towards his building with a bag of groceries in his hand, he spotted a luxury car parked at the side of the road and frowned in surprise thinking who that rich person could be and why that person would come into such a low area like this.Just as he was a few steps away from entering his building he heard a low
Laura sat stupefied when Steven parked his car in front of the huge gates of the castle and soon two men wearing a white plain shirt, with dark-colored waistcoats, and a long black trouser walked towards their car and then they respectfully nodded their head in a way of greeting.One of the men then started taking out the luggage from the back of the car while the other stood patiently, his head lowered in respect. Steven got out of the car while Laura stayed still at her place looking around, astonished.A man tried to take the step towards the door to open it for Laura, but Steven signaled him and he immediately withdrew his steps.“Laura, come…” Steven offered her his hand and waited patiently for her to take it. But Laura didn’t respond and kept looking around, anxiously.“It’s going to be fine, come.” Steven comforted her and again waited patiently but still, there was no response from Laura’s side. After sigh
“Why did you change your mind suddenly?” Steven’s father (Old Master) asked sitting on his desk with his eyes narrowed at his son.As far as he knew Steven’s nature he isn’t the man who would change in one night just like that, there must be something that he is hiding from him, but what? And also his sudden marriage? That raised multiple worries in his heart.“I have realized that mom had already gone,” Steven said in a dark and low voice, and hearing his words, his father shifted in his seat uncomfortably.“And the marriage? Is she your old su…?” Old Master asked with raised brow but before he would be able to complete the question Steven snapped at him angrily, “She isn’t related to that dark world at all. She is innocent.”His words made Old master’s eyes widen in disbelief as he blurted out, worried. “You didn’t tell her?”“What is there to tell
A hearse in black color drove slowly around the castle. A large number of people came to mourn the loss of the Old Madam. Steven, Tyler, and Old Master wearing black walked behind the hearse paying respect to the love of their life, a wife, a mother, a friend.Their faces showed the sorrow but not a single tear was shed from their eyes. They stayed strong together and with respect and honor Steven and Tyler carried their mother’s coffin into the church for the last rituals.All the people came to say a prayer and then placed a flower in respect. Old Madam had lived like a queen of Aldrich Village and was buried with the same honor and dignity.Old Master's face stayed straight all the type but his red eyes showed the pain he was having. Steven and Tyler stood beside each other giving each other unspoken courage and strength. While Laura sat in the wheelchair with a black dress and round hat on her face.She watched Steven carefully with anxiousness. She cou
After burying Old Madam in peace, Steven stayed behind with his father, and brother to complete the last honor and sent Laura back to the castle because her health condition wasn’t particularly good at the moment.“It’s the young master’s order.” Mr. Xavier informed her as he started pushing her wheelchair towards the car. Laura turned to look at Steven, reluctant to leave him, she spotted him standing under a large tree, his eyes staring blankly at the particular space.Soon, she saw a woman approaching him, when Steven noticed the woman’s presence, he frowned badly and then walked away with a stern face. Laura tried her best to have a look at the woman’s face but her face was partially covered by a long hat.“Mrs. Aldrich…” Xavier’s voice brought her back and then absent-mindedly she sat in the car.***“Laura…” As Laura entered the castle, she saw a woman standing in the
