Thomas was speaking to Chris when he observed traces of footstep near the entrance of his study room."I don't trust you anymore, Chris. You know, maybe my wife was right." He said. "I'm sorry you don't trust me sir, but I would never double cross you.""Get out of here right now!" He yelled. The man have a low bow before walking out. Conor, his new eyes and ears stepped in. "Sir, I'm glad you're finally realizing those who are truly your allies." He smiled, acting like they were brothers or something. Thomas rolled his eyes. "Don't think I trust you too.""I will prove my worth to you soon, don't worry sir." He said before leaving. He opened the door and found Rita sitting helplessly on the floor. "Ma'am, are you okay?" Quickly, he rushed to her aid. "I'll call for help now, just stay calm."Rita snatched the phone from him and flung it across the room. "I don't need help. I met with Laura today," she said. It hurt as she remembered how their meeting had went. "She was so full of

"Hi, Leroy. I'm sorry I called by this time—wait, aren't you sleeping?""No, I wasn't sleeping." Leroy and Justin exchanged eye contact. He was trying so hard to mask the fear that was on his face. Why would she call by that time of the night if not because it was an emergency? "What is it, Laura?""Oh nothing. It's all cool." An awkward chuckle followed. "It's Lia."She said at last, "I don't know...I'm worried.""What exactly happened to her? I'm going to need you to be very detailed."Leroy didn’t realize how tense he was until the door opened.Laura stood there, hair slightly messy, wrapped in something soft and simple.“You look terrible,” she said quietly.He let out a faint breath. “That obvious?”“Come in.”The apartment felt… warm. Not just in temperature. It was like the definition of what you could call a home. Laura was saying something to two ladies, he remembered her calling them Ruta and Tania, they helped take care of the house as well as Lia. After what happened, ever

Laura was dressed for the evening. Was she prepared? Not even close. But with her mother's assurance and Leroy's protection, she figured she would handle whatever is thrown her way. "You look like a princess," Lia said. She could not hide the admiration in her eyes. Laura had put on a flared dress, curvy from the waist up. It exposed a little cleavage, but overall pronounced her a confident queen even. Her hair was wrapped into a neat bun, face beautified with natural makeup. "Thanks, honey." She smiled, then her gaze met with Tamara. She was ready to go. That was the interpretation of Tamara's gaze. "This is so nice! All of us are princesses." Lia laughed proudly. "After tonight is over, let's all go and have your favorite cake. Me, you, grandpa, Leroy can come too. And his old man friend."Just at that moment, Tania came to announce Leroy was waiting outside. She said her goodbyes and left, though with Tamara reminding her of their plan. It wasn't anything difficult really. Just

Laura was surprised at that statement. She tried to speak but words did not form. Maya cut in, "this is strange. Last we checked, Laura was married to you five years ago, and divorced you then as well. After some rumors hit town. Of you being this...possessive man." Laura relaxed a bit. For Maya to know that, it was as if the Willsbury Queens sent her to target her. For some reasons...unclear. She expected Thomas to be tongue tied, but instead, his confidence even grew. "True, but we are trying to settle our dispute now. I was married after our breakup. But now, I have divorced her. Rita Smith is now my ex wife." Laura's eyes widened. What was this? He was trying to cause a scene to attract everyone. He wanted to tie himself to her, the last heir of the Jones empire. Leroy was supposed to be here, not him. "Thomas that's enough lies, don't you think so?" She said through gritted teeth. Anger filled her already. Maya simply laughed. "This is so pathetic of you, as usual." Then

Leroy was speechless, Laura could see the surprise on his face. But he pulled Laura closer and muttered something to her. Thomas does not deserve to win. Just in that moment, she received a message. It came in the form of a call. Someone wanted to speak to her. She was asked politely to step away from her seat and to the back. Leroy followed her, but was stopped to only watch from afar. The voice on the other end called out her full name, which made her shocked. "Laura Barbie Jones." The name was Barbara, but Tamara loved calling her Barbie. Laura stopped her from doing that years ago and stuck to Laura. "Danny Rodriguez," Laura pronounced carefully. Who else would be so bold to speak to her like that, and knows her past?"Very smart as usual." He said. Now, his voice wasn't as evil as what Laura was expecting. It was calm, almost even charming. The way he spoke so confidently made her think of Thomas. Thomas must have been a reincarnation of this man."We have a lot of catching u
