"Harold! Harold," Sidney called out, slamming the door, but there was no response from Harold. "Fine! Suit yourself. I'm leaving, and I'm not coming back!" She yelled angrily, grabbed her purse, and left.Harold slowly sat on the floor, resting his back against the door. He buried his face in his knees and continued sobbing. "Why is love so hard?" He muffled helplessly.While in the cab, Laura sobbed silently, continuously wiping her tears, she was so pained and frustrated. Laura hoped for things to get better between her and Harold after visiting him, but instead, she ended everything with him.As the sun began to set, Laura felt a growing sense of fear about how Daniel would react to her tardiness. Glancing at her watch, she saw that it was already 6:10 pm. She covered her face with her hands and muttered under her breath, "This is not good." She knew that Daniel would be upset if she didn't have a good excuse for why she hadn't been answering his calls.Laura retrieved her phone an

Bryan pushed himself up from the bed, his heart racing as he hastily stuffed a handful of clothes into a small bag. "Mom, please, just let me go," he pleaded, his voice strained with emotion. "Wherever I end up, I'll be okay." He paused, taking a deep, shaky breath.Claudia shook her head in disappointment, her tone firm. "No, Bryan, you're not going anywhere. Haven't you caused us enough trouble already? You really need to get it together!" She exclaimed, her frustration evident.Unfortunately, Mr. Markson wasn't home when all of this unfolded, leaving Claudia to deal with the situation alone. She did her best, but Bryan was being particularly challenging. "Do you even care how your dad would react to this?" Claudia exclaimed, her voice laced with frustration and anger."I don't care, Mom! And besides, he's not even my real dad!" Bryan interrupted, his tone disrespectful. Claudia's frustration boiled over, and she slapped him. "How dare you, Bryan? How dare you raise your voice at me

Laura was getting ready to leave the mansion, and Daniel was too. "I'm leaving, Daniel," Laura said, picking up her handbag and preparing to exit the room. As Daniel packed some documents into his briefcase, he glanced at Laura and reminded her, "Make sure you come home soon," sounding authoritative.Laura nervously nodded her head, forcing a smile before departing. "Sure thing, boss," she muttered, rolling her eyes dramatically as she descended the stairs. Even though Laura and Daniel had gotten close, Daniel was still bossy, which made Laura feel uneasy.When Laura got to her parents' house, she swiftly went into the house to see her Mom, "Mom!" She called out upon entering the house. "I'm in the kitchen Laura!" Claudia answered. Laura navigated to the kitchen immediately to meet her Mom."Hey, Mom," Laura whispered, her voice carrying a hint of sadness as she wrapped her arms around her mother. "I'm glad you're here, Laura. How's Daniel?" Claudia asked, turning to look at her daugh

Laura picked up the phone call immediately. "Hello, Daniel." She answered, her voice tense."Hey Laura, I'm just coming back from the company, are you still at your parents' house?" Daniel inquired, taking off his suit. Laura went ahead to tell him that she was at the hospital with her dad. "My Mom had a cardiac arrest and we are at the hospital right now." She explained worriedly."What happened? She sounded just fine this morning." Daniel piqued. With a nod, Laura answered, "We were having a conversation in the living room about Bryan and suddenly, she began to act strange and fell to the floor. With the help of my dad who arrived immediately, we were able to rush her to the hospital." Laura stated, exhaling deeply.Feigning to care, Daniel asked, "How is she doing right now?" "She's still in the emergency room but she's awake," Laura answered. "Alright, I'm coming to the hospital right now," Daniel revealed. Laura was feeling uneasy about Daniel meeting her parents due to their

"Daniel, I'm okay," Claudia said, hoisting herself onto the bed to take a seat.Mr. Markson felt uncomfortable with Daniel being there and couldn't bear to look at him any longer. "Sweetheart, I'll be back in a moment," he told Claudia as he got up from his chair.Claudia gazed at her husband and nodded in response.Laura was pissed at her Dad's reaction but managed to conceal her feelings. Mr. Markson left the hospital room as he walked past Daniel without uttering another word. Daniel thought to himself, his face contorted in anger as he gazed at Mr. Markson, "You've got to be kidding me if you think I came here to visit you guys. I'm only here to ensure I take my wife back home with me.""Daniel, please have a seat, Laura said, staring at her husband Daniel. Daniel shrugged, "No, my dear, I will soon be taking my leave. Can I see the doctor? I want to settle the hospital bill." He requested"Don't worry about that Daniel, my husband will take care of that," Claudia interjected.I
