You're a monster

Laura was still dazzled by her mother's explanation to her when there was a loud bang on the door. Shocked by this, she jumped up to her feet. Tessa had run out to check who it was, as she had just been outside then. It wasn't even up to a minute that she locked the door that the banging started. To her surprise, when she peeked through the door hole, she found an angry looking Thomas standing outside. "Laura, open the door!"She rushed to meet Laura. "It's Thomas. He's angrily shouting outside." Laura frowned. "Open the door." She said, but Tamara rushed to meet her. "No. Stay outside and talk to him. What if he screams and wakes Lia up?"She nodded to that, heaved in a deep breath and muttered, "I'll be right outside."Once outside, she found an awkward looking Thomas waiting for her. He was a bit too calm. Why was he just watching her, observing? Laura's gaze was raised up high. "Why are you shouting my name?" She demanded.Thomas's jaw stiffened. "You said you were busy. I didn

Don't make me your enemy

"Oh welcome sir!" Said a lady."Thanks, nurse Kiki." Leroy said to her. She was like the hundredth person greeting him since he resumed. And he had not even gotten to his office yet. He had a long list according to her personal assistant, of patient who had booked appointment waiting for him to resume. His head was already hit from all the work he'd missed the past few months. "Well you can't handle all your patients right now." His assistant had tried to explain to him. "I know. Let's get started, shall we? But today will be a really short day. I have somewhere to be at by 3pm." He said."Shoot. That means you'll only be able to attend to two people.""If they waited for me for over two months, then that means it's not an emergency, Sam." His P.A nodded to that. "Okay, let's go with Mr. Johnson and miss Barbs." "Awesome. I'll get on their file now. Get in touch with them and book their appointments for tomorrow morning." Leroy said. Suddenly, his office door barged open. Ralph

I'm sorry

Lia opened her eyes, to her surprise, she found her mom sleeping next to her. "Mom?"Laura slowly raised her head up. It felt as if she had imagined it, but she heard 'mom'. "Oh honey, thank goodness, you're awake." She smiled as she found Lia's big eyes staring back at her. Her hands reached for her face and she caressed her gently. "I am. How long did I sleep?" Lia asked. "Doesn't matter. But it's still today." Laura smiled."Remember that time when you slept and it was the next day already?" By now, they'd both been laughing.Lia's face became hard all of a sudden. She tried to sit up right and Laura managed to help her. "You're okay, here.""Thanks." She winced. This time, it was Lia's turn to stretch forth her hands and cup her mother's face. "Mommy? I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to behave possessed. Am I quietly going insane?"Laura sat very upright, this wasn't a question she was expecting. She thought the 'I'm sorry' apology might pop up, but am I going insane? "God no," Sbe q

Stop right now!

Leroy did not open his mouth to talk but let those men do all the talking. Lia tried to contain her feelings. Her mother did not believe this was a five-year-old little girl getting so emotional like that.The first sentence on the board was “I am sorry, Lia. Forgive me for leaving.”She was a fast reader so she read through the lines and even then did not reveal any emotion at all.The second line was “will you go to the moon with me?”“The moon?” This one got Lia’s attention. She jumped upright on the bed. That was when Leroy started to advance closer. In their pockets, these men brought out two tickets and handed one each to Laura and her daughter.It was some place Laura had heard Leroy promised Lia one time they would go there someday. To experience zero gravity.He knelt till he was matching Lia’s height on the bed, “I know that I’ve hurt you, but with time, you’ll get to forgive me. You know why?”Lia’s grin was so wide now, “because I’m smarter than most adults?”Leroy squinte

Kim

“Maybe not for you,” Leroy flashed Lia a smug grin and she responded with a proud smile. “But it’s fun for Lia. Look at the smile on her face.”After what seemed like eternity, the joy ride was finally over. Laura rushed out, her insides were knotted together and she asked where she could throw up, two people hurriedly directed her to the quickest restroom around.“You don’t need to throw up?” Leroy teased Lia.“I’m not mommy. I’m stronger than her!” She said, laughing out loud in one of those cute giggles.“Thanks for agreeing to come out with me. Means a lot. I know it doesn’t mean that I suddenly now have easy access back into your life. And you can keep using doctor Ralph until you want me back.”She shook her head, “you were never really my doctor in the first place.”“True,” Leroy admitted. “But it was as if I was. I monitored your test results and worked with the doctors to give a better prescription.”“Which mostly included me getting enough rest. I slept a lot when you were a

Just to survive

Next.Rachel had been excited she would be meeting her friend after a long time. Tessa was a controlling freak, but she was very sweet and just didn’t know how to handle things most of the time.So she appeared… well, a bit mean at times. “Come on, pick up you moron,” she said angrily as she had been trying to reach her the past one hour.Finally, the other lady’s voice sounded from the other end. “What do you want, Rachel? I’m not in a good mood right now.”“Uh, well I just wanted to let you know, like keeping an update.” Rachel did not know why she was stuttering. “That man Danny? He hasn’t been returning my calls and I got a message saying the wedding is over!”There was a soft sigh from the other end. “This Danny, have you ever spoken to him before? You know, have a full one-on-one conversation with him, heard his voice before?”“Well,” her lips pressed together as she thought of a smarter way to respond to Tessa. Now that she thought about it, it annoyed her even more. She was be

How broke?

Chapter next.The Queen’s mansion was not real. The first time Laura had come in here, she thought she was dreaming. Structures so elegant and historical were the base of this mansion.Everyone carried themselves as royalty here. It was no reason they were called Queens of Willsbury.At the entrance, she was stopped by Tessa. The beautiful sexy lady who was trying so hard to take Leroy away from her. Laura had made a mental note never to fight with a woman over a man. But Tessa got on her nerves so much.It wasn’t like she was fighting her for a reason. Tessa was manipulative and being the no. 1, she did not think of herself any less than a goddess.“You look beautiful today,” she smiled. “Let’s wrap it up real quick, don’t you agree? You’d want to be back home to prepare delicacies for your precious Lia before she comes back from daddy’s place, right?”“You know, I’ll still never understand how I’ve turned into an interesting celebrity that you have to constantly gossip about,” Laura

The dare

"Ever since you started helping her. I know she has a few assets so she can’t be that poor.”Then what seemed to shock Laura was the voice that answered… how familiar it sounded. “Is this why you called? I was busy… but never too busy for you. Laura is in minus zero.”“Ha! You’re too sweet. Wait, what do you mean by that?”“Those assets you think she owns? They’re for the government now. And the banks. She’s owing a ton of debt and wants any man rich enough to settle all her loans. That’s why she’s trying to be with two of them at the same time.”“She will never have my son. I won’t allow it.”And the conversation stopped. “I have proofs too. Your bank account statement for the past three months. I’ve attached them to my channel so check them out. You’re broke and you won’t admit it. Even at the butterfly store where we saw you the other day? You were loaning some outfit. You wear them, then return back to the store shamelessly.”Laura did not stand up, she let herself sink back to th

"Smile!"

Sunday mornings had quietly become the best part of Thomas’ week, the one thing he looked forward to without guilt or confusion, because for a few hours everything felt almost normal again, like the past had not shattered into pieces he was still trying to gather with bleeding hands. Eight Sundays in a row now, he had picked Lia up, and each time she had run to him a little faster, smiled a little wider, and held his hand a little tighter as if she had finally decided he was not going anywhere.That alone should have been enough to settle him, yet peace never lasted long in his life, and the moment he saw Leroy again, standing casually inside the house as if he had never vanished for two whole months, something dark twisted inside him.“I saw Leroy at home,” Thomas said, glancing down at Lia as they walked side by side, her tiny fingers wrapped around his.Lia looked up at him, her expression calm in a way that didn’t match her age, and for a second Thomas wondered how much she had gr

Let's go get her.

The evening had settled into something quiet and almost comforting, the kind of stillness Laura had not allowed herself to enjoy in a long time, yet even as she sat there, her fingers wrapped loosely around her phone, her thoughts refused to stay still.“Kim is really creeping me out,” she said finally, breaking the silence as she leaned back slightly, her eyes fixed somewhere beyond the room as if the answer might be written there. “She hasn’t returned any of my calls since yesterday.”Leroy didn’t interrupt her, didn’t rush her the way most people did when things became complicated, instead he watched her carefully, his expression calm but attentive, like he was already piecing together everything she wasn’t saying out loud.“She knows what she’s done,” he said after a moment, his voice steady, certain in a way that made Laura look at him.“You think so?” she asked, though part of her already believed it.“I know so,” he replied, leaning forward slightly, his elbows resting on his k
