She must have heard him wrong or misread what he said, there is no way Robert is her father or the parent who abandoned her, Robert is caring and doesn't seem like a negligence parent, but the look on his face, the way the room was silent with everyone watching intently made it obvious that he is indeed the man the private investigator brought as her father, she turned to Devon eyeing him and convening all the pains and emotions in her heart."Is this some kind of joke, Devon, are you playing tricks on me? You know how badly I want to meet my parents, are you using that against me?""Laura, it ain't a joke I won't do that and you know it, I didn't believe when I found out either and I had the doubt still until we spoke to Robert and he gave details and it fitted perfectly, just hear him out Laura I am sure he has his reasons,"He said and she took a step back shaking her head, this wasn't what she expected, Robert can't be her father, how can he? Why was she the one abandoned? If he
"I couldn't process it, I had come into the hospital with my pregnant wife expecting a newborn and now I had to leave the hospital without either of them, back then I wished I had acted differently so maybe you wouldn't have gone missing. because I became too aggressive, the doctors were scared that I may cause trouble so they sedated me and before I woke up it was already ten am the next morning, I don't blame the hospital because they didn't know we had other kids waiting for us at the hotel, they released me when I told them and when I got to the hotel, I was still thinking of how to pass the sad news on to you guys when fate slapped me with another kind of pain, I met your older siblings with the hotel management they were all in tears and you were nowhere to be seen, no one knew where or when you left the hotel, your older sibling said the last time they saw you were before they fell asleep and you were sleeping when they woke up you were no longer there, I looked for you, got th
"Did Sloan leave?"Devon asked when Mark walked in, "Yes he did, he said he had other things to take care of and since his job is done there is no need to wait, Robert can spend the night here as I feel he and Laura still have a lot to talk about, they were still talking when we passed by they didn't even notice us,""He can stay, for sure,""I already said he can, I wasn't asking you, I talked to Lizzy and she gave a go-ahead,"He revealed sitting down on his bed."Whatever,"He wasn't in a talking mood, he still wasn't over what happened between him and Laura, he knew he shouldn't have reacted like that but it was too late."Devon, about the Laura photo, I found out that she didn't give anything away to the media, he must have told her something that made her follow him because I met the reporter myself and he confessed that she didn't give him a word about you or your life,"Mark revealed and Devon wished the ground would open up and swallow him"Oh my God Mark, I messed up big tim
Laura paused at Devon door and took and a deep breath before knocking, while she waited for a response, she tried to go over what she wanted to say in her head, this is it, if he signed the paper, she is gonna leave with her dad, it still felt strange calling him that but after hearing everything, she knew she couldn't bear it in her to hate him or be angry at him, he went throwgh a lot so being angry will be selfish of her."You can come in the door is open,"Devon finally responded and she opened the door, he was sitting in his wheelchair beside his bed with his phone in his hands, he looked handsome as always and she felt a deep feeling losing overwhelm her but there was no way she would be with someone who didn't truet Ir want her around."Hey, Laura, you done talking with your dad? That took quite a while, you guys good now?""Yes we are, thanks for finding my dad for me, I will forever be grateful for your help,""It's nothing, glad I could help, about the stuff that happened be
Laura smiled to herself, yes she didn't have to leave, and yes she and her man were cool again, and also her she just found her family, her dad said he and her siblings will come over soon and the thought of meeting them warmed her heart. He had left this morning to go back to Clovers because the others can't survive without him, according to him and he said he will come back to visit soon with her sibling too, Liz had gone with him, she said she wanted to go say Hi to Percy and the others, ao it was just her and Devon in the house.Laura couldn't contain her excitement she had been happy since she woke up and have been smiling like a child on Christmas morning."Oh, no,"She exclaimed."What is it, baby?"Devon asked he was on his phone again, he has been doing that a lot since this morning and she wanted to ask him out of curiosity, but she chose not to."I just remembered that Sophie doesn't like me, how are we supposed to get along if she hates me?"She asked sitting down heavily,
"You know you can't avoid me forever, at a point we have to meet and talk, let's just cut over these and meet up to talk Devon, I am tired of this hide and seek, it's not good for me,"Cleo said as soon as he answered her call, he didn't want to answer the call initially but he figured it will be better to hear what she wanna say and just tell her off,"What do you want Cleo, why are you calling me,"He asked, ignoring her words."I am calling because I have something important to say, but you caught me out, what happened to us, Devon? We were so in love, how did it all go so bad,""I don't have time for small talks Cleo, get to the chase or I am hanging up,"Devin commanded."Can we meet up? Anywhere is fine, I just have important news for you,""What news that can't be shared via phone call,""It's can't, I need to see your face when I am telling you, I must see your face,""What kind of game are you playing this time Cleo?""I am not playing, I am serious here,"She screamed over t
"I said I don't know anything, get off me, and besides we are not alone, there are bodyguards around,"She replied."Tish!, I am off you my lady, and the bodyguards won't walk into here unless it's an emergency, and since you have forgotten what we were talking about I will just show you,"He replied and claimed her mouth with his silenting all her complaint, she melted to him and opened her mouth for him, and he smiled in satisfaction, his mouth exploring hers with an intensity that he couldn't explain, her soft moans making the moment even more intense, he could tell she would be great in bed and wanted nothing more than to confirm those thought, but as much as he wanted her, there were still restrictions and even if he did defy those, his body won't cooperate, her moan of displeasure brought him back to the moment and he apologized for zooming out by taking her face into his hand and kissing her more, his tongue exporing her mouth and branding it his, her hands went up to his head
"Why are you restless?"Devon asked and Laura stopped walking and looked up at him, he stood folding his hand."Is it not obvious?""Hmm, no, if I knew I won't be asking you,"He said and she stared blankly at him wanting to punch him a little, he was flexing his new ability to stand without help, having gotten the doctors approval, he has been learning to stand again and also taking small steps,"Are you for real? I am meeting my siblings today," she announced throwing her hands in the air."And is that a reason to be restless? They are your flesh and blood not like they will eat you or something,""You are not helping Mr. I am nervous here," she replied eyeing him"I don't get why you are though, you have been speaking with them for the past week, you have met Sophia and Susan before, so what's there to be nervous about?" He asked raising his eyebrows."Well, this is the first time I will be meeting them in person as my siblings,"She replied moving from one spot to the next trying
