~Laurel~"Laurel Hyde!""Laurel Hyde! Is it true that your adopted daughter threw your daughter off that building?" "Is if true that you're filing a case against her?""Is it true that you weren't even in support with your husband when he brought the young lady to your home?""Laurel, Hyde, is it true your husband had an affair with his ex-mistress?""Is it true that your adopted daughter planned and staged his affair with Melissa Gregman?""Why did your husband insist on having that kid in your matrimonial home?""Could it be that something's going on between the two of them? Or perhaps, is she a long-distanced relative? Or maybe, a long lost daughter?"~"Thank you, Mr Ramirez.""You're welcome, Mrs Kenton. But she'll be released for the meantime until the judge's hearing.""No problem with that. As long as she's going to spend rest of her life locked up in jail. No one messes with my daughter and gets away with it. See to it that this hearing is pushed forward as soon as possible.

LaurelA week later"Hey,"I lifted my gaze to that of Wesley's who just walked into my office. "Hey.""Staying up late again? It's already past four in the morning, Laurel. You should go home.""Home?" I snorted. "I don't have a home. I only have a house.""You had a home before Kurt. And even now, you still have a home. So I suggest you go home and take a break from all these before you kill yourself by working too much.""At least, that one's better. So much better than learning you have a daughter you didn't even know you had. You know, I still can't believe it. I had twins. Twins. Like how on earth could that be possible?"He pulled out a chair in front of me and plopped down it. "When are the DNA results coming out?""Tomorrow.""And if it comes out positive?""Then... I'll do what I have to do.""Which is?""I'm filing for an annulment.""Laurel!"I stood up from my chair and strayed further to the window. "Wesley please. I'm afraid that's the only future left for us.""Laurel,

~Laurel~"Gen!"Shocked on seeing us, she tried to hide behind the man she was with. Ryder Pierce. Ryder himself tried to get into the cab they got down from but unfortunately, Kurt's trolls had already surrounded the area, leaving them trapped in the middle.Kurt got down and started for her. She squealed and tried using Ryder to block him. "No please.. please, no.""Genevieve." Was all Kurt started with."Sir, please...""I know who you are. What do want with her?" Ryder asked protectively."And who the hell are you?" Kurt shot back. "Get out of my face now, I'm talking to my daughter.""Daughter?" Ryder's mouth dropped open. "Gen, he's your... he's your father?""Don't let me repeat me what I just said, boy. Get out of my face. Now."Abruptly, Ryder moved aside, revealing Gen. "No sir..."Kurt didn't wait for her to finish before taking her hand and starting back for our car."No, wait! You can't take her away from me!" Ryder just had to interfere. And seeing that look on Kurt's fa

~Laurel~The drive home was quiet. Kaitlyn volunteered to drive, leaving me to completely bury myself in my thoughts. I couldn't stop my hands from going around my abdomen. It feels amazing, yet so unreal. "Okay, now you've had your time. Would you at least remove your hands from your belly now?" Kaitlyn announced, interrupting my pool of thoughts. I frowned. "Why should I? Can't I shield my baby from the world anymore?""You can. But you will give people the impression that something's definitely in there. And we don't want that. You don't want the public to find out now of do you?""Of course not.""Good. Now, let your hands drop."I did as she told me but it didn't stop me from sneakily rubbing my hands around it from time to time. "Could it be a boy?""Judging from the looks of it, it could be."I put my hands around it again. "God, I'm so excited! Do you think we made a mistake by not shopping for baby stuffs?"Kaitlyn laughed. "Laurel, you're still early in your pregnancy. The

~Laurel~"Gen, please bring Laurel's purse from the car."Quickly, Gen rushed down and moved to the boot area. "Yes sir."I halted to stare at the mansion. This place had been my home for five years. Returning here after what happened between Kurt and I...makes it seem more harder to want to step into it. Particularly, our room. The room I had planned on burning down."Laurel, come on." Kurt wrapped an arm around me as we stepped into the mansion together. The lines of servants standing to greet us were unending. I didn't even think we had this much servants because you wouldn't see them swimming around the house unless you need them.The first thing to escape my lips was a gasp when I entered our room. Wow, was all I could say. Kurt had changed our room and turned it into our own little paradise. White was the warm colour that filled the entire room. I didn't even know what to say. All I could think but not muster was that there was no man like Kurt Kenton. Absolutely, no man. He was
