Novel & Cerita Lauren London Parents

Louis sat there in the silence, his phone still in his hand, his heart warring between anger and a dangerous, fragile hope. He had wanted this. For years, he had dreamed of hearing his father say the words he had just spoken. But now that they were real, he was terrified of what they meant. Terrified of what Lauren would think when she discovered the truth—that he wasn’t just her protector. He was an heir. A man bound by blood to a world darker than she knew. As if on cue, his phone buzzed again. This time it was a text. Lauren: I’m going to my parents’ house for a while. I need distance from all this… drama. I’ll call when I’m ready.

He would spend the rest of his days behind bars in repentance. Lydia didn't escape punishment either. She was sentenced to three years in prison for knowingly using illegal funds. When the dust finally settled, Celeste and I held a proper funeral for my parents, laying them to rest at last. Standing before their graves, I cried my eyes out. But my heart was filled with peace. After the truth came out online, Alina's illness drew widespread public attention. Many kind strangers reached out to help. A well-known children's charity foundation contacted us and offered to cover all of her future medical expenses.

“You’re a first-time mom, it’s totally normal not to know. Let’s add each other later. If you’ve got any questions, just message me.” “Sure.” Honestly, I didn’t have a super clear memory of Lauren Pearson. I just knew the Taylor and Pearson families had been close as long as I could remember. Our parents had even arranged her marriage to my older brother when they were young. Even after the Taylors moved to London, our families stayed in touch. The only reason I recognized her now was because of that glamorous wedding three years ago. I’d seen clips online, and my parents had sent me the wedding photos.

I am 100% devoted to her and falling in love with her just from her looks, scent, and name. I listen as Lauren looks her up online and begins to tell him random facts. She’s an only child to Walter Sinclair and has a stepmom named Lilith. Her father was an actor and she’s been dabbling in the acting scene as well, she goes to a lot of charity organizations, but seems to have a really big soft spot for autism awareness. There’s a lot of articles of the media speculating on who the father of her child could be, but no one seemed to know for certain.

She had stayed silent. Until now. She entered the room like she belonged in it, her pearl earrings gleaming beneath the chandeliers, her sharp gaze assessing every inch of my face. “Lucien.” “Mother.” She sat without being asked, which was fitting. Frances Laurent never waited for permission. “I saw the announcement,” she said crisply, folding her gloved hands in her lap. “Your son is quite charming.” I said nothing. “I also saw the headlines this morning,” she continued, lifting one sculpted brow. “‘Custody Battle Looms Between Tech Billionaire and London Financier.’ Quite the story.”

Lauren opened her mouth, but Pablo's glare silenced her. “For the next month,” he continued, “you will not step foot outside this house, Lauren. You’re grounded. I don’t care what excuse you come up with; you’ll make none. You’ll focus on salvaging what’s left of our reputation.” Lauren’s eyes widened in shock. She opened her mouth to protest, but her father's hard stare forced her to remain silent. “And you, Marcus.” Pablo turned his wrath to his son. “If I hear so much as a whisper of you checking into another hotel, I will cut off your funding entirely. This family will not be associated with such scandalous behavior.”

I answered him because I did not want to come off as rude and because Lauren looked constipated ever since I walked in. "So Lucas, what do you do for a living?" My father asked. I looked at him as he responded, placing my hand over his. "Well sir I'm currently the regional managing director of my mother's fashion outlet, House of Valiente based in New York." "Interesting. I've gotten quite a few magnificent pieces from there." Lauren finally spoke up. My father nodded, "That's good. How long have you known my daughter?" "A couple of years. She became my woman a few months ago." Lucas grinned, staring at me and I returned it, holding on tighter to his hand.

She stood by her window that overlooked the city. Warren hissed. He wasn’t going to let himself be swayed by some fake display of emotions. Approaching her in large strides, he smacked her cheeks loud, drawing a loud gasp from her. That was totally unexpected! Lauren stood by her window gazing at the speck of buildings distance away. It was her mother’s birthday but who cared? Her father was obviously so in love with his family that his ex-lover meant nothing to him. She missed her mother, she couldn’t deny it. Living in the slums with her mother was better than living here and being treated as nothing but a slave.

But He himself asked to marry you," Lauren said. She wants her daughter to be happy and after a long time, it seems to be happening with Brandon. "Mom no, please Dad. Don't talk on this topic." Claire said with her cracking voice but she controlled herself in front of her parents. She has decided to be strong for their happiness. Mathew gestures to Lauren to be quiet and leave this topic here for now. They don't want to pressure her. They nodded and left after kissing her forehead. Claire whipped her tears silently, she smiled sadly. She thought about their moment in the park, she remembered his care, his touch, his respect towards her family. Everything has touched her heart. But she can't

"And who might that someone be?" Cornelius asked, his brows furrowing with discontent. "Who else can she be? It's Sophia Kirkman's second daughter, Lauren Beckett," Zoe grabbed the chance to tell on Landon. She casually teased, "Landon hasn't been home lately. He's built a love nest with Ms. Lauren out there, where they spend most of their time. The last time Mom was sick, I was the one who got her to the hospital. I guess Landon's put his family behind even before marrying Ms. Lauren."
