“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
Laura entered the venue while fuming in anger and then bumped into a young man unknowingly, "Ahhh..." She groaned, feeling frustrated."So sorry, are you hurt?" The man asked her while holding her arm and stabilizing her."I am ok," Laura said indifferently and left, the young man stared at her back, lost in his own thoughts."Where did you go?" As Laura walked to sit on the table, Steven came from behind and asked, feeling worried."Nowhere, Can we go?" She asked while pouting her face and Steven smiled. "I can't, after some time maybe."Laura scoffed annoyed. "Why did you even bring me here tonight?" She then asked, irritated."To meet him," Steven said as he averted his eyes to someone and Laura followed his gaze, a man who looked younger than Steven walked in a dark violet-colored three-piece suit, he looked charming and full of life.He had short black hair and his face was shaved, clean, and handsome."Who is this?" Laura asked as that m
Without giving Laura any chance to explain Tina left the bathroom with utter disappointment and slammed the door hard venting out her anger.BOOMLaura fell to the ground feeling weak, all the past incidents flashed into her mind as she closed her eyes. Her heart weighed heavier with guilt and then a few hot tears streamed down from her eyes. She wished she hadn't been too foolish to do what she had done.After a few minutes of self-guilt, she finally took the courage and then went out. She has to explain the things to Tina and to Steven too.She walked out and scanned the place while looking for Tina but she was nowhere to be seen, she then looked at the corner where Steven, Tyler, and a woman were standing. They were in a heated argument, Laura felt surprised when she saw how serious Steven was and the way he was trying to suppress his anger.Feeling worried, she walked to him. "Steve?"They all three turned in surprise and the woman whispered, "Steve
