Lauren Rutherford 소설 & 이야기

But right now, with the city lights shining through the glass windows, I didn't give a shit about the money. I only cared about the woman who was currently sneaking down the corridor to see me. The door clicked open. Lauren stepped into the room, closing it softly behind her. She was wearing a simple, oversized black shirt and loose pants, her dark hair tangled around her shoulders. She looked exhausted, her sharp eyes scanning the room before they finally landed on me. "Julian," she whispered, her voice rough. "You shouldn't have called me here. If Serena wakes up–"

she said, her tone clipped and formal. Riley hesitated, glancing at me for reassurance. I nodded, giving her a gentle push. She stood reluctantly and disappeared inside, leaving me alone with Lauren. I rose to my feet, ready to follow, but Lauren’s hand shot out, gripping my arm with surprising strength. The coldness in her touch matched the steel in her gaze as she leaned in close, her voice a venomous whisper. “You might think you have Ryker’s heart,” she hissed. “But you’re nothing to him. He’ll tire of you, and when he does, I’ll be there to pick up the pieces.”

"Lauren was always the fucking outcast. She was a person who- " I wanted fucking fight her, yet Brittany spoke up before I had the chance. "Just so you know." She started. "Lauren and Kaitlyn did everything together. They worked for years to develop that connection that you could never form. Lauren, learned to help Kait through her darkest moments, and ease her down." She paused only for a moment, exhaling a breath. "Like what you have with Erin, Lauren has that connection with Kait. She has that with my sister," Brittany was the one getting enraged now. "Who is fighting for her god damn life right now!"

she wasn't! "Oh would you look at that....My entire fancily is finally here!" Lu Zhang said coldly glaring at the people who just walked in. Anna stared at the man indifferently, looking around she only saw Shola. Her expression changed "Where is Ella?" Shola was shocked, she didn't know that Ella was here with them....she had an unsettling feeling, where was her daughter? Lu Zhang chuckled "I have seven grown up children but only one has given me a grand child.....don't you think I will get a bit attached?"

The guards bowed and left. Lauren took the newspaper but she couldn't continue reading anymore,he dropped it,her mind went to Reed "Will he ever forgive me? For leaving him all this years?" *FLASHBACK,7 YEARS AGO* Lady Aurora got down from her car and made her way to an apartment,she slowly placed a knock on the door. The door opened and a middle aged woman came out, Lauren. "Lady Aurora?" Lauren gasped. "What are you doing here this late? Aren't you supposed to be on your way to the airport?" She asked.

Laura had rented the place and planned this whole thing the moment she realized that I had no idea how to do it, and Althea was too overwhelmed with Lacey to give a party any thought. Laura, of course, had given it too much thought, but the kids didn’t seem to know that. Jimmy and his friends sat on the floor on the far side of the room, playing some kind of game that I didn’t understand. Laura and Althea were running it. It involved a lot of shouting and laughing and prizes. Althea had already warned me that when this party was over, I would receive a sugared-up kid

I looked up from the floor and saw the beautiful brunette from the pictures. "Luna, this is Channing. She has just joined the pack," Allen announced. I saw her nod, then they both kinda zoned out. Probably mind linking. She gasped and quickly kneeled down to me. "What are you doing Lainee?" I heard a muffled voice in the room question. Luna, or Lainee stood up. "I'm kneeling before a warrior wolf. The Alpha of the Black Moon Warriors," she replied awestruck. Before I could even say anything a girl with black hair like Allen's popped out of the room looked at me before bowing like her Luna.

I wanted to tell her that even if this woman was beautiful, her beauty was nothing compared to hers. "I apologize for being late, I just came from a charity event," she said as she sat down beside Atticus. She must be the Luna. "I'm Nicole Hutton," she introduced herself, "First Lady of Hutton Empire." "It's a pleasure to meet you." Rayne smiled at her. "Forgive my question, but you're not a vampire, am I right?" Nicole asked Rayne. "No, I'm not. I'm a gifted human," Rayne answered her.

But she couldn't help feeling like something wasn't quite right in the Burlington household. As she hung up the phone, Lauren glanced around the park, watching Casper play and laugh with his friends. She wondered what their lives were like, growing up in such a cold and distant environment. And she couldn't shake the feeling that there was something she could do to help, even if it meant putting her job on the line.

Lauren had arrived alongside Andrew, and when she saw what was going on, her expression turned a little strange. Andrew offered a casual explanation. "Rachel's one of our Chamber members." Lauren smiled warmly and greeted her. "Nice to meet you, ma'am." Rachel hesitated. "And you are..." Lauren chuckled. "Name's Lauren Rhodes. I'm Andrew's first wife." Rachel's face froze for a moment, cursing inwardly, 'That little vixen actually managed to land Mr. Lloyd?'
