Laura turned around and was surprised to see Steve standing at the door. He looked good in his gentle man's suit. "Laura," he called again with a smile on his face this time. Laura ran to him and hugged him. "I thought I'd never see you again," he whispered under his breath as his hands wrapped around her. "I missed you too," Laura replied happily. Steve had done a lot for her and she just couldn't pretend he didn't exist. He was like the older brother she never had.On the other hand, Steve was happy that he was part of the judges. If not, he wouldn't have gotten a hold of Laura. He had sent a secret investigator to follow on her and report to him. It was the only thing he could do to get to her. And when he found out that she was limited in the modeling industry, he saw it as the perfect plan to apply as one of the judges, since he had connections in the modeling industry, it was easier for him.And here he was holding on to her and wishing this moment never ended. "Excuse m

Lim's face was clouded in darkness. He couldn't believe that his father had the guts to kidnap his woman without his knowledge. What a shameless old man! Anger brewed inside of him, pushing toward the old man in the room."Laura get up! We are leaving!" He growled as he moved menacingly towards them.Laura could hear her heartbeat drumming in her eyes. Lim was angry.She heard his command but she was frozen in the chair. It would be rude to disobey the old man who had already asked her to stay even after knowing everything about her.But despite the sour atmosphere sizzling in the house, old Walter was not bothered, he continued with his meal like nothing was going on. He knew Lim's nature. This was just a regular thing for him. Lim stopped next to Laura and stared at her before moving his angry eyes to his father."Why did you bring her here without my consent?" He roared, and Laura shivered.He caught her movements and saw that he was frightening her. So, he decided to lower his

Laura woke up to the sound of a voice whispering above her.Her eyes flew open and rather than the owner of the voice she was expecting to see, she was welcomed by complete darkness.A cloud of confusion sat on her face as she tried to figure out where she was. She noticed that she was lying on something soft. Even if the last thing she remembered didn't seem like what she was feeling, she could swear she was on a bed.She tried to move but she found out she was restrained in both her hands and legs.Her heart started racing as panic seeped into her.Where the hell was this place and why was she here?As she questioned herself, she heard the voice again. It was not hovering above her as she had initially thought. This time it was coming from the wall behind her.She leaned against it and her eyes popped as she could hear more clearly now and not just that, she could recognize the owner of the voice.It was Steve.He seemed like he was in an argument with someone else. She couldn't rec

Marcus ended the call with Mr. Smith. A happy smile sat on his face after the call. Now the girl was held captive, Lim would have no choice but to step down. He grabbed his suit jacket from the drawer and was heading out when Cindy rushed in.She was in the doorway eavesdropping on his conversation on the phone. She had to stop him before he made the most terrible mistake of his life. From what she had experienced of Lim, because of that girl, if she let her husband get involved in this, it would end terribly for him. Her life had been thrown into shambles because of Lim's punishment. She couldn't even go out again because anywhere she went people pointed fingers at her. It was an everlasting shame, and she didn't want the same fate for her husband.She had only insulted the girl and Lim did this to her. What would he do to those who kidnapped her?She shook her head not wanting to even imagine it. It would be disastrous. Only God knew what he would do if he found out his brother w

Lim got down from his car in a hurry and rushed into the mansion, ignoring the servant's greetings at the doorway. Charles strode behind him trying to keep up with his speed. "Laura!" Lim called as soon as he entered the living room.His heart was thumping and panic was already flowing in his veins. He didn't want to think the worst, but at this point it was inevitable."Laura!" He called again. Not caring that he was being extremely loud."Lau—" Before he could complete his words, his father stepped out of his room into the living room looking wild."Lim, what's going on?" Old Walter asked from the stairs. He was walking down with the support of his butler, Mr May."Where is my wife?" Lim snarled like a wounded snake. His voice was filled with authority and anger so thick it was like a volcano.Old Walter looked at him quizzically. What was he saying? Wasn't the girl home yet?"Laura took her leave in the morning. Isn't she home yet?" Old Walter asked as he went down to the last st
