The sun was shining brightly, casting harsh rays through the glass and into the room. Nathan was sitting in bed only in his boxers, scanning his once perfect and flawless arms which were now covered in bruises and cutsOne thing he understood was the kind of trouble he always found himself in since he married Laura. She was a bad omen for him"That woman will pay for this," he tried shifting, but unfortunately his back stung. Even moving seemed like a problem. He just hoped his face was still intact. Those men did more damage than goodGrabbing the phone from under the pillows he turned on the camera and raised it so it could act as a mirror"Dammit," he mumbled scanning himself, lowering the phone he was about to get out of bed when the door opened and Laura walked in holding a tray,"I see you are awake," the woman said cheerfully as she walked toward him. There was no ignoring Laura's beauty, that was the problem. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable seeing her in such tight clo

Morning approached, and the sky was clear with no sign of the sun. The air was heavy as the wind blew around violently. Anyone would think it was going to rain heavily, the chirping birds had hidden away. The strong mist had formed on the windows and window panel. The curtains of the room blew back and forth causing a chilly breeze to seep through. Laura wrapped in Nathan's embrace stirred in her sleep. Mumbling gibberish as she dragged her legs up trying to find some warmth"Mm," she snuggled even more to Nathan, her cold lips connected with his chest making Nathan r too. His long legs entangled with Laura's legs while his arms circled pressing her to him"So good," Laura mumbled and her eyes flickered open, she only saw blurry images hence rubbed her eyes a little and tried to move when the realization hit her. Like she had gotten back her senses, Laura panicked at the sight of Nathan. "No," Laura was stupefied, finding herself in Nathan's arms, her heart thumping against her ches

Nathan was angry as Adeline explained what happened in his absence. Zoey was charged with theft. According to Adeline. Zoey was accused of stealing from the Larson family. His mom was worried and heartbroken seeing her daughter put in jail, hence she had gone to the Larson mansion to ask them to drop the charges. Apparently she was treated badly and on her way back she was involved in an accident "You should know, Zoey only went there because they called her…but… but that night, the police raided our house and destroyed everything," Adeline was in tears as she elaborated on everything that happened. Nathan held his sister in his arms, coaxing her not to worry. Laura's anger had flared up, so much happened in her absence. Her family went too far by doing something so despicable "I'll get her out, Carl will come and get her out," Nathan muttered knowing full well he would do anything to get his sister out of jail. If he were around nine this would have happened to Zoey. She was inn

" Nathan, your sister will be fine… I'm sure of it," Laura tried to start a conversation with Nathan on their way back to the hospital. The entire time Nathan kept quiet. He had not uttered a word since Zoey was released from jail, Carl had taken her back home to rest. Laura understood his silence, the pain he was going through "Hmm," he hummed again, Laura stared at him for a while and averted her eyes. It seemed he was holding grudges. Her family crossed the line this time. Especially her uncle and momAfter a while the car came to a stop, jerking back to his senses Nathan noticed they arrived at the hospital. Laura glanced at him and then opened the door. Robert had been quiet the entire time he had been driving the car"I'll buy some fruits first then join you," Laura said with a smile before stepping out. She noticed people selling fruits just outside the hospital. Not what she would go for, but she couldn't go to her mother-in-law empty-handed"What's your deal huh," Robert a

"I don't get it, this is a huge accusation but I'm down for more evidence," Robert said and dropped on the chair, snatched the files from Nathan and started going through. Nathan already called for Alejandro hence after a while the door opened and Alejandro in his lawyer suit walked in"Close the door lawyer Gael," Nathan remarked and Alejandro did as told. Robert shoved a chair toward him and he sat down. Nathan pushed his chair backwards and crossed his legs gracefully. The two men were Laura's trusted men. Robert was her assistant while Alejandro was the company lawyer. Nathan knew any better than to trust anyone else with everything, unfortunately, other than Carl, he didn't trust anyone. "So I'm sure you know why I called you here," Nathan said, shifting his head to Alejandro. He was a business lawyer who was responsible for assisting corporations with legal matters. His role was to ensure everything done at the company was legal and above board. From mergers and acquisitions
