Dawson POV
After breaking the news to Derek, I noticed he distanced himself from everyone, sometimes with the way things were going I became doubtful of myself and how I have been to my brothers. They are in all this mess because I keep restraining them from things and I think it's high time I let go of my protection for them, ever since our parents death I had served as their older brother despite being the same age with them and I had always lectured them on getting involved with women and claimed it would be their downfall, maybe women are really making them stubble to the grown because I had let them pick their choice."What are you thinking about so kinly." Laura said taking a seat beside me on the sofa while I chuckled."Amanda's pregnancy is fake." I said to her but she didn't seemed shock at all and just smiled."It took you long enough." She said relaxing beside me." You knew about it?why didn't you tell me?" I asked.<"You can't kill her what if Laura finds out". I whispered, it seems like I am the only one here who is concerned with the phrase, Laura mustn't know what exactly we do yet."Laura won't find out, I just can't bear seeing Amanda playing the smart card on us and getting away with it. I can't imagine after all she did I was the one who actually welcomed her into the mansion again." Derek said with bitterness."Why don't we tell her the Truth?" Derek asked."She already knows too much thanks to Dawson who wants to make her an assassin like him, even though she has not been trained well with guns she still doesn't know anything about our lives outside this mansion and let's leave it that way." I said to him."Flynn and Sandra are back from the mission you sent them and I heard they were successful in it." Derek said changing the topic which I was glad he did."That's true but they would be here soon." I said to him smiling at my achievement. T
Laura Pov"What do you mean you saw your daddy?" I questioned Sofia, squirting to her size but her smile was beeming with excitement making me doubt if it was an imagination of her's."Yes I saw him and he told me he would be back, he just had to make an important call." Sofia said to me with excitement, I looked up at the CEO who was clearly angry at the little trouble Sofia was staring at and she doesn't even seem to care about any of that."Stop saying that, how can you just assume your father was her when you have never seen him before?" I questioned again, trying my best to keep my voice down so the CEO behind me won't hear."It doesn't matter mommy, it was him. I know it was him." She insisted." Can you please take her out of here already?" The CEO said." You heard what the boss just said, we need to leave." I said to her but Sofia who smiles back," That's better, that way we would get the chance to see daddy ou
Laura povMy mind was filled with worry and confusion as I paced back and forth in our small apartment. The stranger's promise to Sofia had caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. How could he make such a promise when he knew nothing about us? What if he never showed up again? Sofia's hopes would be shattered, and my heart would break along with hers.I couldn't ignore the nagging feeling in my gut that something wasn't right. How could Sofia be so sure that he was her father? I had always told her that her father was on a business trip, but now doubts began to creep into my mind. What if I had been lied to all these years? What if Sofia's real father was out there somewhere?As I continued to worry, Sofia came running into the room, a big smile on her face. She had a way of bringing light into even the darkest moments."Mama, did you see how much daddy loves me?" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement. "He pr
Darius povI thought I could erase her from my head. I thought if I had other women beneath me, if I was able to sleep with other women, then I would forget about Laura. But it wasn't that way. It kept getting intense to the extent that even the girls I had sex with looked like Laura. It made me so frustrated because I was not even enjoying any of the things I was doing. All I could think about was her. I felt frustrated. It has been over 2 weeks now, and I've been trying my very best to restrain myself from going back to the Mansion. I can't go back home. I have things to achieve. I cannot go back there empty-handed. I don't want to go back to drag the Title with Nicholas again. It is his Title, and he can do whatever he wants with it. I don't want to get myself included. But at the same time, I also could not help myself. I could not stop thinking about Laura. I guess I was falling in love with someone I had already talked to once.
Laura povI laid on the bed, my eyes open as I stared up at the ceiling. I couldn't help but feel tired and confused. I felt like something was missing. I have yet to have a little discussion with Nicholas. It will give me a lot of ease in my mind and my heart if I get to talk to him.I stood up from the bed immediately, but just as I was about to come outside, one of the maids was already standing there with a smirk on her face. “'It's a good thing you woke up. I wanted to come and wake you up with boiling water on your face,” she said to me as I felt a bit frightened. How can she say something like that? How could she even think of threatening me this way? This is just so absurd. Like, is this how she plans on treating me? I really wish that our own would let everyone know that I am with him now. After all, it had been days going to weeks now and nothing has happened to me. Maybe the curse did not affect me. Mayb
Darius pov I know with those words I said to Laura, she was confused, but I did not care. She would come to like me anyways. After all, she seemed very nice and I know that one of these days, she would come up to me and embrace me. I stayed at her charming face as she smiled up with you. “'Thank you so much for the compliment. I really really appreciate it, but I have to go. I have lots of work to do, and I must not be late,” she said to me, as she gave the costume to me. I collected the attire and turned around like I was about to move, but surprised her by driving her inside the room and locking the door. she screamed and held to the door tightly like she wanted to leave. “'Do not be scared. I am not trying to take you or something. Okay? I am just being nice.” That is all I said to her. She lets go of the door handle and stands there holding to her arms together like she was trying to cage herself, maybe thinking I wa
Nicholas PovJust as I was about to give a formal introduction to the council members, mostly new rules who were not very familiar with Darius since he was not always in the Mansion and always ventured away from anything that had to do with the politics of the Mansion. I decided to just give a brief summary about why he is like that even though they all know that he's my stepbrother, but just then the door opened and Laura walked in with some beverage on a tree. She seemed to be shivering. Something was not right. I had already warned madam Betty not to do anything to her but yet it was like madame Betty refused to listen to me. She was beside her and was not saying anything. I kept silent and just then, Darius slowly removed my hand from his shoulder as he walked towards Laura. What was this? Does he even know her? Why would he just go to her? Oh. I slammed myself internally. Maybe he wanted to take a beverage from her, but I had no choice but
Nicholas Pov After the meeting, I could not help but be so patient for everything to be rounded up. I rushed quickly without even telling my partner anything. I rushed directly to Laura's room. She banged on the door continuously, but got no response. I banged continuously loudly, and just then, I felt somebody behind me. I turned around, and it was Laura. She seemed confused as she was holding on to her mopstick. She looked at me from head to toe. I clearly was in a panic mode. It was just so obvious. I ran towards her and hugged her tightly. I can't let it happen. Why sit down in a meeting after what my partner had told me? I couldn't help but imagine so many things. I imagined what if she ends up with Darius . I cannot let that happen. It cannot even happen. All my imaginations should never come to pass. I can never let her be with him. He is just not the kind of person I plan to. And besides, she belongs to me. She's my wife. He cannot just come up from nowhere and then cla
