After their intimate session finished, Steven was the only one who kept chatting happily while Laura stayed quiet all the way.
On the weekend, Steven surprised Laura by making cupcakes for her. She was stunned to see the tray of cupcakes in Steven’s hand.At first, she thought he was just lying to impress her but when she saw the mess in the kitchen, she realized that he had really made it himself for her.His sweet gesture made Laura’s heart heavy. When she took a bite she felt overwhelmed as her past memories flashed into her mind and she started crying sadly.“What’s wrong?” Steven asked in concern as he sat beside her.“This…” Laura said with a choked voice still chewing the cupcake in her mouth.“I know, it isn’t good, let's leave it.” Steven took the cupcake from her hand in disappointment but Laura held his hand while shaking her head. “No, actually my mother used to bake cu“In my office,” Steven’s plain voice came from the connecting phone and Laura walked to his office feeling curious as he sounded too serious.“Yes,” She said as Steven gestured her to take a chair at his desk, she sat and then patiently looked at him to speak.“Laura, do you know Mr. Brian whose case I am fighting these days?” He asked with the same serious tone and Laura replied without thinking, “That deep black hair colored handsome man?”Steven nodded calmly, and she then continued, “Oh I don’t know him but I have seen him often coming to your office.”“So, what do you think about him, Laura?” Steven asked calmly as he fixed his tie and sat up properly.“What do I think?” Laura repeated as to confirm what Steven has said just now.“I think he is a pervert, flirtatious man, or maybe a playboy. I think..” Laura blurted out and then shut her mout
“Hello,” The man who has just entered gave a cheeky smile to Laura and she smiled back at him in order to hide her nervousness.“You…” Laura asked while narrowing her eyes.“Scott, my name is Scott.” The man introduced himself and then comfortably sat on the sofa. “So, what do you want me to do, ma’am.” He asked like a gentleman.Laura sat on the bed and then crossed her legs, she pretended to be calm and sat in a way where the camera's angle couldn't capture her face completely. The man's gaze immediately fell on her legs and she squeezed them together feeling disgusted by his hungry gaze on her.“Ahem, ahem,” She coughed intentionally to get his attention. “Yeah,” He looked up at her, meeting her eyes.“So, you know what I want, right?” She said hesitating.“Yeah, I would love to please you, ma’am.” He said with a wide smile.“
With one hand on his mouth and from the other she gestured towards the bathroom’s door and then asked him to stay quiet by placing her finger on the lips.“Ssshhh…”The man had no idea what was going on, he simply nodded his head in agreement and Laura immediately removed her hand from his mouth.“This is my question to ask, what are you doing here?” He asked and Laura rolled her eyes. “darling, I had told you I am here to meet my friend.”“Oh really? So then where is that friend?” The man asked as he watched Laura walking around and pulling out the camera from the vase and keeping it in her purse. He frowned in surprise.“She has something to do at the last moment, so I am going to leave now hubby.” She said as she walked to him and gestured to him to leave but he didn’t move.“But I want to use the bathroom first,” He said loudly and the man inside started sweat
“Here, now I am not indebted to you anymore,” Laura said while keeping a piece of paper on the table neatly. Augustus just stared at her face, not saying a single word.“Is it Steven who gave you this cheque?” Augustus asked calmly, still fixing his gaze on her.“That should not be the issue, I have paid your debt that is important,” Laura said with a slight hint of arrogance as she stood with her head held high.“I never did those things to make you feel indebted to me,” August said slowly, he then stood up and tore the cheque into two pieces and then placed it back on the table. “Are you coming with me to meet your sister?” He then asked casually while keeping his hands in his pocket.“I am not here to do family talks, Augustus, why are you being so calm? What’s so wrong with you? Why are you not angry? Why you’re not scolding me?” She asked, feeling exasperated by his different
Walking into the noisy place, Laura’s mind was still blank as she walked to the counter and sat there motionlessly. Her eyes were searching for someone just then a bartender greeted her and she turned her eyes to him.“Daniel, Can you get Daniel for me?” She asked and the bartender nodded.After a few minutes, she heard the familiar voice, and her hair stood in panic and nervousness. “Were you looking for me?”She took a deep breath and then after giving herself courage she finally turned her face to him. “Daniel,” She called out his name in a broken voice and he opened his mouth in shock, “Laura.”“Daniel, can we…” He didn’t let her complete her sentence as he growled at her. “You better leave, do you understand?”“No, Daniel Please. I am your sister,” Laura said in a choked voice but he just left after saying, “You’re not my sister.”
Laura was startled by his reaction, this would be the first time he had acted like a scared child, she had never seen him scared during all the time she had spent with him, it was very unusual of him. Looking at his presence, Laura couldn't help but wonder curiously what that thing would be that had made him so frightened.She kept rubbing his back in a soothing way and gradually Steven's heavy panting calmed down as he relaxed his muscles in her arms. "Are you ok, now?" Laura asked him after a while.He pulled his head away and then looked at her, "I am ok," He said in a hoarse voice.Laura very gently caressed the hair of his beard and then asked softly, "What happened?"Steven's body tensed at her question, "Don't ask," He said with a tight lip and Laura didn't push him further. She nodded her head in understanding and then turned to get up."Where are you going?" Steven asked as he held her wrist, "Breakfast? It's morning now." Laura said while pointing
"No, I didn't mean to say this. But these days you are getting thinner and pale Laura. Look for yourself." Steven said truthfully as he turned her to the glass window and Laura stared at her presence with wide eyes.She does look pale and weak. "I... I just don't know. These days I am not feeling too good." Laura said feeling ugly and depressed."Laura," Looking at her getting sad, Steven pulled her into his arms, "It's ok, it happens you will be fine soon. Maybe it's because you have changed your environment that is why you're not feeling comfortable but soon it will get better. Don't worry." He comforted her and then made her sit on his lap."Just for today bear it, I will then give you leave for a few days to rest at home." He said in understanding and Laura nodded her head."Okay," she closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder feeling tired as Steven gently caressed her hair.KNOCK KNOCKA knock on the door startled them and then a man ent
The event was held in a huge villa, it was a show of royalty and luxuries. Each and every corner of it was shouting nobility and power.This event was originally a traditional party thrown by the Aldrich family; the seniors of their family had started this ritual. Whenever they would start a new business in any city they would throw a huge party in order to let people know about them and make alliances with them.It is a way for them to introduce themselves to other people in the different cities.Augustus and Lisa were walking around while greeting the people who will walk past them, just then Lisa's eyes caught something and she stopped, surprised."This..." She said and Augustus followed her gaze, then blinked his eyes in annoyance. "Wasn't she in Boston?" Lisa asked and Augustus had nothing to say.Lisa also didn't expect a reply from him as she walked towards it, "Laura," She shouted her name and Laura turned in shock and surprise. "Sis," She gasped and
