Chapter 81: The GoodNews!

Laura's POV.“I'm so happy to be back with you again. I really missed your trouble Zara.” I said.“I missed you more, my best friend. I can never trade you for anyone else in this world.”“Not even me, your dad? I never thought there would be a day where my daughter would have to choose someone else over me.” Lucas said, expressing a sad face that wasn't even sad but just teasing us.“Oh please dad. You should consider yourself lucky that I am loving the woman you love. What if I loved and chose another man over you, would you be able to handle the betrayal?” Zara asked, smiling at Lucas.“I wouldn't be able to handle it though but I can promise you I won't die because I am a strong man. If I die, who will take care of my darling and sweet Laura?” he teased as we all bursted out laughing.“Anyways, tell me Zara. Have you prepared names casting for my unborn children, practically your step siblings?” I asked and she widened her eyes at me.“You can't say that to me. Oh my God, are you

Chapter 82: Zara Is Unconscious!

Laura's POV."Why are there so many people in this penthouse today?" I asked, staring at the unfamiliar women carrying garment bags through the living room.Lucas didn't even look up from his phone while I spoke, then he spoke all of a sudden."That is because we have somewhere to be." he said, I raised my eyebrow at him."Somewhere?""We have a family dinner to attend.”"Did you just say a family dinner?""Yes I did.”"With who exactly?""With someone." Lucas replied, looking up at me. I groaned at him in annoyance."That is not an answer.""It is the only answer you are getting, my love.” he said. I just clearly knew he was trying to tease me. Zara walked into the room at that moment."Dad, are we being kidnapped?" she questioned. Lucas sighed out dramatically."No we aren't.”"Then why are there strangers measuring me? I mean they just walked up to me in the other room and asked to measure me. They were polite though, while taking in my measurements.”"They are designers.""For me?

Chapter 83: She Is Not Biologically Yours!

Laura's POV."Move!"Lucas's voice echoed through the hospital as he carried Zara in his arms. Zara wasn't fully unconscious yet, she would close her eyes and then she would open her eyes frequently. It felt as though her body was fluctuating."Dad. Please save me.” she begged with a weak voice. All I did was rush behind them."I'm here, sweetheart.""Don't cry.""I'm not crying. I won't cry, you raised me to be a strong woman.”I looked at Lucas and nearly broke down myself. He was absolutely terrified for his daughter.The strong, confident man who faced criminals without fear looked completely helpless. A team of nurses rushed toward us."Put her here." one of the nurses said. Lucas carefully laid Zara on the hospital bed."What happened?" a doctor asked."She fainted but she regained consciousness. She is currently weak.”"Any previous medical condition?""No.""Any allergies?""No.""When did she last eat?" the doctor asked and Lucas rubbed his forehead."At dinner.""That is oka

Chapter 84: Swab Tests!

Lucas's POVI read the message again, I was taking in the words into my head as though I was trying to register it in my brain.The words refused to change, even though I didn't want to believe it and Laura had gone completely silent even though she was beside me.The only thing I could hear was my own heartbeat pounding inside my head."No."The word left my mouth before I even realized it."No."I shook my head."This is nonsense." I stood up from the couch instantly and due to my force on it, the couch nearly tipped over."This is some sick joke."My eyes dropped to the attachment on the message. It was a partial DNA Report.I opened it, reading through a few lines with medical terms, numbers, and references. It wasn't complete or even conclusive.But it was just enough information to plant doubt in a person's mind and also to destroy someone's peace."What kind of person does this?" I muttered as Laura carefully reached for my arm."Lucas."I pulled away from her. I wasn't angry w

Chapter 85: The Results!

Lucas's POV.Three damn fucking days was how long I waited. In those days, I pretended everything was normal.Three days of watching Zara laugh at breakfast and listening to her argue with me over stupid things.I kept on looking at her and thinking about a report I never should have agreed to. I already had regrets.The doorbell rang as I pressed a button on my phone and the entrance door opened. Laura finally looked up, she had been pressing her phone for several hours.Dr. Nathan Reed stepped in holding a large sealed envelope. Everywhere began to suddenly feel suffocating for me, especially when I saw his expression.He walked closer to us and from his expression, I could already have a hint of what was about to happen."Lucas." he called out."Just fucking give it to me." I said and he handed over the envelope to me. I wrapped my hands around it and suddenly it felt heavier than how any paper should feel.Laura stood up immediately, moving to me. She was so close to me that I fel

Chapter 86

Lucas's POV."What do you mean by I'm not your daughter?" Zara asked, her words breaking me.Zara stood at the bottom of the staircase, tears rolling down her cheeks before anyone had the chance to answer her. "Zara. Take it easy, you aren't feeling good.” Laura said. Zara's eyes weren't on her but on me."Dad. Please tell me all of this is a lie?” she asked. I just couldn't say anything to her. I was used to negotiating billion-dollar deals without breaking a sweat while staring at different men stern faces but the little girl I raised all by myself. I couldn't say a word to her anymore."Dad." she whispered again. "Say something, please. I'm talking to you.”“Baby, Zara is talking to you. At least give her an a swear, she's already feeling so bad.” Laura said, tapping me gently."My personal doctor, Nathan Rab a DNA test on both of us.” I managed to say as Nathan cleared his throat.“This is a family matter so I would love to excuse myself. See you some other time, Lucas.” Nathan
