Laura POV
Slowly, I stood up, with their help, and wiped away my tears. "Okay, I'm ready to try," I said, my voice shaky. "That's the spirit, Laura. We will get through this together," Dawson said, pulling me into a tight hug. As we sat down to breakfast, I felt a sense of hope for the first time since everything had happened. It wouldn't be easy, but I knew that with the love and support of Nicholas and Dawson, I would be able to move forward. After breakfast, Nicholas came to my room and closed the door behind her. "Laura, there's something I need to tell you," she said, sitting down next to me on the bed. "What is it?" I asked, curious. "I think you need to get rid of all the baby things you've collected," she said, her voice gentle but firm. "What? Why?" I asked, feeling a lump in my throat. "Because I think it's holding you back. Every time youLaura POVI won't ever let them get to me in any way, I would make sure to become the best version of myself and that includes being just like Dawson and to do that the major thing I need to do is stop listening to whatever they say and not minding the fact that Amanda is here with me and despite what she did to me Derek still made her return to this mansion just because she is carrying his child, after my heated training session which for some weird reason Dawson stopped teaching me because of the gift incident which was also Amanda doing and she trying to make it seem like Dawson was in love with me.Now Dawson has to stay away from me to remove any doubts from his brother's mind, mostly Derek.I walked down the hall to my bedroom quickly as I was in a hurry to take a shower and relax when I saw coming out of my room and stopped immediately as his gaze landed on mine." I thought you would be done with training early that's why." He said pressing his thu
"Good morning everyone.", I said happily before taking a seat as they all replied silently and Dawson won't stop staring up, they are all expecting Laura at the desk and mostly Nicholas who is doing nothing but just playing with his food and staring back at the stairs and trust me Derek isn't an exception in this behavior if theirs."It seems to me like none of you have the appetite for this breakfast?" I asked them making three of then glare at me for a while and then concentrating on their food, I would say even though they still looked up from time to time. They were ruining the fun of everything by missing her just for one breakfast, they don't know how weak they are making theirselves seem like. Halfway through the breakfast and the stupid Laura stepped down and everyone was so concentrated on her like she was an angel from heaven, I lost my appetite immediately but couldn't leave the table yet. She sat beside me smiling at me, how disrespective."Go
Dawson POV I confronted Amanda as soon as I got back to the headquarters. She was sitting in the living room, looking smug and self-satisfied."Amanda, we need to talk," I said, my voice serious."What's the matter, Dawson? Is something bothering you?" Amanda asked, trying to put on a façade."I just want to make sure we're all on the same page here. It's important that we trust each other," I said, hoping my words had an impact."Of course, Dawson. You know you can always count on me," Amanda responded, trying to sound trustworthy."Good. Now, I need to make it clear that we're a team here and that we all have to be upfront with each other. I want you to be honest with me and let me know if there's anything going on that I need to be aware of," I warned her."I understand, Dawson. You have my word that I won't keep any secrets from you," Amanda promised."Good. Because if you do, there will be consequences," I
Dawson POV" Laura, are you still in love with Caleb?" I asked her as she tensed up for a while like she spaced out before turning to look at me."Can I possibly be able to forget that man, he comes to me everytime like a nightmare and slaps the fact that I loved him on my face." She said awkwardly which made me a bit confused."What made you love Caleb?" I asked, trying to probe a little deeper.Laura looked at me with a sad expression, as if reliving old memories."He was charming and made me feel like I was the only person in the world that mattered to him. He was always there for me when I needed him, and we just had this connection that I couldn't explain," she said, her voice filled with nostalgia."But then everything changed when I found out I was pregnant. He became distant and cold, and eventually he just left without even saying goodbye," Laura said, her voice breaking slightly at the end.I put my arm around
Dawson POVAfter 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
