Kidnapped?

Laura stared at him looking so shocked. He looked leaned, had grown somehow dark so the scar on his face seemed to have been a lot blurred. He smiled a little but it felt like it didn't quite reach his eyes, although now that she was looking, this was because Leroy appeared so tired. She couldn't even be mad at him anymore. She rushed into his arms and squeezed him in a tight hug, tears of relief escaping down her eyes. Like in a chant, he began to say, "someone lured me. They said my mother was still alive. This was cruelty. Two whole months, and nothing."Laura helped him to sit down, though it wasn't like he needed her help. "Oh, Leroy. Don't you see? They wanted you away from me. So that he could get closer and closer to me and Lia. You fell blindly for this," she said bitterly."Why didn't you tell me anything?"It was all starting to make sense now. But who would be so cruel like this to try and separate her from Leroy? Her eyes found Justin sitting a few seats afar from them.

Hiding Something

She wished she'd heard him well. "What did you just say?"Leroy fired back at her. "You heard what I said." He was struggling with whether telling her of keeping those thoughts to himself was the best option, Laura could see through him. But no matter how angry she might be feeling, she still wanted to calm him down. To listen to him.Her eyes caught Justin's glaring at her. Maybe he was surprised Leroy would tell her. She swallowed, and started in a cool calm voice. "I'm so sorry to hear."His eyes met with hers. He looked...relieved. "I was lured to a place. I still don't know who did that, but I slept, woke up and slept again for God knows how long. Probably more than two weeks, caged in a damn building.""She died years ago. I don't know why I had the faintest idea that she was alive and it was all a lie..." The terror in his eyes scared Laura. He was going through a lot recapping this part of his life. He wasn't ready yet. She got up. "You're here now. And that's all that matter

Miss, I live here.

Deep down, Laura couldn't help but think about what Leroy was turning into. He looked so...different. She wished she could speak to someone about him now. Not as if Kim was now her bestie all of a sudden, still the idea occurred to her. "I should just say hi to her." She made up her mind. The drive back was not that far because the location Leroy had picked was just a few minutes close to Kim's place. She told the driver to park nicely because she was expecting to stay a few minutes longer with Kim. Getting out of the car, she walked straight to the entrance. The door bell did not work after she pressed the button a couple of times. "Huh? Great, Kim has a broken bell button." She rolled her eyes. Typical of her not to ask for help because Kim always did not want her to worry too much. Laura made a mental note to fix that as soon as she saw Kim. Then, she knocked on the door and waited. Nothing. She tried again and after a few knocks, began to get worried. She brought out her phon

She lied again.

Laura let out a stifled chuckle. This was starting to get funny to her. "No, you're not understanding me. Kim, this is her house. And she doesn't have a room mate, none she told me of. Listen," she quickly said, blocking his path with her body when the stranger was about to walk away from her. "If she's begging you to hide her from me? We've settled. There's no need for that again.""Listen woman," the man smacked his lips. Whatever was going to come out next from his mouth would not be good. Laura immediately moved away from his path. She watched him bring out a key from his pocket, and unlock the door. He took one last look at her again, "I have the landlord's number. If you want to confirm." He offered. Laura nodded. "That would be lovely of you. Thanks."He called out the number, then went in and shut the door . Laura dialed the number and a lady picked up instantly. "Hello, Sofia here. Who is this, please?"Laura began to introduce herself. "Uh, hey Sofia. It's me, Laura. Remem

She's not a Smith

She walked into the store and found a chubby lady attendant there. "Hello, I'd like to speak to Tobias." She said, not even looking at the lady's face. The attendant saw her and instantly shot to her feet. "Yes ma'am, please let me take you to his office." She left her position, grabbed Kim's bag and led the way to the store's manager's office.Tobias jumped up to his feet as soon as he sighted her. "Welcome ma'am, we've prepared everything. I wish you didn't have to stress yourself like this. You should have just let us deliver it to your door step!" Kim smirked. Everyone were on edge as they saw her. She liked that they feared her. She had missed this feeling. The only reason Kim came to the store herself was to feel like a rich woman again. "Good. Where is it?" She ignored him and walked over to his chair, then sat there like a goddess. Both of them rushed out and came back with a neat box filled with new expensive outfits. On her way out, she noticed some eyes were on her.

Never!

Kim smiled,"no I'm not. I'm more focused on my career right now. I own a small beauty brand. I'm wearing my own design." She caught the older woman's gaze on her looking from head to toes. "And I certainly don't know this woman you've just mentioned." "Oh sure. No problem. Wow, that is very nice of you. But you'll need a husband someday. I would like to introduce my son to you. You're going to love him!" Monica said in a strong tone that would be hard for anyone to try and say otherwise and not listen to her. "That would be so nice. But my priorities are pretty set on a different ground. I have this friend of mine who really needs my help. She's been poor ever since she left her ex husband five years ago. The other man she was dating again ran away and left her all alone. I have been taking care of her and her little child now and I only want the best for her!"Monica shook her head."Wow, I am.so proud of you. That's so sad." By now, they didn't realize but they've been talking for

I'll make you remember

Thomas shook his head in denial. What was that? Laura is back with Leroy? Surely that made no sense. "I made sure of it. He was gone...he should be..." He had been sober for a month now. Clean, not even touching alcohol at all. Yet, the way his nerves seemed disrupted, he wanted to go ahead and just take a full bottle and chug it all down. His breath was quickening and he knew he needed to be calm somehow. His phone buzzed in that moment, and Thomas scoffed in disbelief. "You, you're still sending all these dumb messages of yours, huh!" He was talking to the phone like a mad man, as if this mysterious texter could hear him.Angrily, he began to type back. "I have ignored you for two whole months, but you still won't leave me alone huh? What is your problem!"Stay away from me!All the messages he kept typing were just going to no avail. He couldn't reply to this person because the number was never available and it was like he or she would send a message, and then destroy the phone t

Throwing Tantrums

The phone kept ringing again. "Damn it, Thomas!" She muttered out a curse. This wasn't making any sense at all. Why was he still calling her! She ignored his calls and just kept thinking about her latest discovery. Laura puzzled over this, wondering whether to challenge Kim yet, or just keep waiting quietly.Her thoughts were disrupted when the driver announced that she had gotten home. She got down from the car and stepped inside. Right from the entrance, she started hearing a loud cry. It was from Lia, but someone else was trying to...calm her down?Her chest pounded inside but she summoned confidence and rushed up the stairs. "Lia?? Lia!" The first person she saw was Ruta standing outside, shivering. When Ruta sighted Laura, tears of relief washed over her. "I'm so happy you're back ma'am," she instantly said, rushing to meet Laura. However, this did not make Laura calmer. Instead, it made everything all worse again. "What is it? Where is my daughter!" She demanded. "She's insi

Let Him in

She was met by Tamara and Ralph. "Where is she?""She's in her room, dearie." Ralph said to her, adding a charming smile. He had said not more than two words to her when they first met, that he started to confess his love for her. "I didn't say a word to you because of how tense the air is. But now that everything is fine, may I just say you are looking very beautiful, Laura?"Tamara rolled her eyes."That's enough, doctor Ralph. Please leave us alone." Her tone was very strict..He looked too disappointed, "I forget that you're her mother. I always forget." He muttered before walking away. Ruta ensured the door was locked as he left. Then she went back upstairs. "I'll try and clear some of what I can quietly, so she doesn't wake up." She had said before leaving. Tania was in the kitchen doing the cooking. So Tamara and Laura had plenty of time to talk. "He had to inject her with something to keep her calm. But she was already doing better when I was with her, before Ralph came." Ta

She Loves You

Thomas stood at the entrance, waiting. He hated waiting. Two guards with strong faces were observing, watching him. He didn't even care about protection and had gone by himself alone. Finally, the door opened and he was led into the living room. He found Leroy seated comfortably on the chair. Next to an older man. Thomas tried so hard not to reveal any flaws. His hand trembled as it found its way to his necklace. He sat down, watching both of them. Finally, he uttered. "You were suppose to have disappeared. Now you're back?""Really? Too bad your plan didn't work. Yes. I'm back."Thomas's face hardened."You know, I already knew I hated you ever since I first set my eyes on you.""Are you going to fall on one knee and propose to me?" Leroy rolled his eyes."Listen to me, I don't have all day. I'm very busy. Just get to the point already.""I want you to stay the fuck away from Laura. My little girl loves me again. Where were you when Lia kept crying your name out, begging for you to c
