"You have my blessings," he said again. "Thank you father". Laura smiled . A big burden had been removed if she was told to decide based on how she started talking she would have sworn the wedding was going to be broken. Macpherson stood up, Nicholas followed, and so did Laura. "Have lunch before you leave okay? "I have to decline , today Is a busy one for me." Nicholas rejected making Mr MacPherson stare at the both of them weirdly, they only came here to get approval or what? Were the questions going through Mr MacPherson mind."You could have Messed up everything with your stupidity, you fool" Nicholas said with an angry tone as he drove out of the compound. "Now it's my fault?tell me who is the bigger fool here , you who told me about what I needed to say to your father or me who came up with the truth and got the approval. Go ahead, tell me". "You are the bigger fool here. If you were smart you would know you took a big risk that could have cost you not only your pay
Laura was pissed at everything but had no choice than to rush in .At this point if a truck fell from the sky she would gladly Jump Into it without thinking twice. She sat beside the driver,the horrible smell that came from her seat was like a mixture of rotten tomatoes and cheap bad fragrance. All this trouble and stress she went Through for that low life skunk. she murmured with anger. He probably is not even thinking about her. Wrong assumption. Nicholas knew what he did was wrong. Why is he feeling pity for her? He has done worse to people and never felt so remorseful. Maybe because he was the reason she let her guards down or maybe that wasn't the only reason he felt that way .Tony was fully okay,he was back to his old ways again. Street friends Laura had warned him about on several occasions but she never listened. Helen was out, study group as always. Laura was exhausted from all the stress the previous day. The memory was still fresh like it happened a few hours
Laura was dropped home by the chauffeur. She had a lot of shopping Bags .It was already 5pm . He helped her carry some of the bags. He acted like a gentleman and helped her to the door and left. Helen and Tony were already home waiting for her. She praised her hands to ring the bell just to recall what happened. Struggling to balance the bags ,with one hand knocking the door. Tony opened up.and saw his sister with shopping Bags.. Those sure didn't look like grocery nor did they look like take away parks from restaurants. "Will you help me? Or keep staring ""Where did you get all of these from ?"He said helping her with the two bags in her hands. "Helen! ,Helen!" Laura called out with no response to Tony. Helen came out of the room after two more calls ."Woah , how did you get all this.?" "Will you both help me out or watch me struggle with your questions?"Aside from the shopping Bags Tony was holding , there were 7 other bags that needed lifting. Helen helped her and so
"You are enjoying all the Luxury aren't you?"" You are enjoying holding my waist aren't you"? He pulled her away , spinned her a little and and caught her again. Spinning her again but this time he didn't catch her . He brought out a ring case and opened it. Nicholas brought out a small jewelry case, opened it while Laura was wondering what he was doing. It was a jewelry case that was obvious but what exactly was he doing? He opened, the beautiful sparkle and glow of the diamond ring under the dark light in the room got the attention of almost everybody. The loud laughter and glass clicking In the room suddenly turned into gasping and murmurs. A few comments were heard while others weren't."It's a diamond ring.""It's so beautiful ". Helen's Jaw dropped. She saw earlier admiring her sister on the dance floor before the shocking surprise. Tony nearly choked on his drink seeing the ring . The press were taking pictures, those who were admiring were .Nicholas's father appea
"It's just for a week Tony , I'll be fine. After a week the contract will be broken, And we'll be back to our normal life". Laura told him but somehow wish she believed her own words. She didn't want any of them to worry. She got herself into the mess and was ready to take herself off after collecting the money . The wedding was in less than 28 Hours, the engagement party was What's more the main wedding . Laura secretly wished she had a time machine, maybe go back in time or fast forward the signs after the contract is broken.Laura looked so gracefully In long white wedding gown. The biggest hall was used. Her father was dead ,so Tony did the honors of walking her down the Aisle. He wore a black suit with a white and green boutonniere in his floral pocket square on his suit. The hall was so big , it took about 4 minutes to get to the altar. The only relatives Laura had there were her siblings. Helen who sat with her head looking at how beautiful her sister was , Tony who
"Sorry? I'd rather you leave, I do not want to draw attention from the press . You already did that when you walked in here. Leave " "Rey, at least listen to her "Richard Said."Who do you think you are? Get out! I do not want to lay my hands on you .Get out!" Nicholas was starting to get infuriated, his voice was getting really aggressive. Sarah knew he would do something stupid if they didn't leave .. The poor woman just wanted to congratulate her son. After 18 years of being away in the same city . "You can't speak to me that way, Rey " Richard was trying to prove a point as his mother's husband. "He said get out! You don't want to be bundled out of here do you? "His father said. He never truly stopped loving Sarah, till today he had no idea why she filed for divorce. Richard saw it as the reason his family broke up. Few months after their divorce he found out Sarah had remarried to Richard. He never told Nicholas till two years later . Protecting him from the heartache
“What are you doing? Stay away from me”,she kept moving back till her legs brushed the glass table that had a vase on it . It was hurting but she didn't stop .He was the pain she felt from her expression but he didn't stop. Laura stopped when she hit her back on the wooden bed stands. She couldn't keep moving even if she wanted too .Rey was already so close to her. So close that they were almost one person .The dripping cold water from his hair was dropping on her face beneath her eyeballs. She closed her eyes ,breathing unsteadily, her sharp tongue suddenly couldn't move like a cat cut her tongue. Her eyes was tightly shut . Maybe she thought by the time she opened them he would be gone like it was a dream. Rey kept moving closer and closer with the impression that he wanted her to vanish into the brown stand. With every drop of water that fell on her face , her eyes blinded on their own. Was he trying to take advantage of her now that they were married? He never mentioned any
Nicholas was nowhere to be found. He probably went to work. Just when she thought the incident left her,the thought struck again. She was still able to hear his voice reading the agreements out loud. She could only imagine how her siblings would take the news. Her life was about to take a drastic turn She stood up tiredly and went to the bathroom to take her bath, when she came back met several calls from Tony and Helen. They missed calls from yesterday night till the morning. They were probably worried about her well-being so she picked up the phone and called Helen. She tried as much as possible to sound fine on the phone. "Hey sis, how are you?I have been trying to call you for like forever. Are you okay? Did something happen?Why are you so quiet?"Helen bombarded her with questions. All Laura wanted to do was cry on the phone and tell her she wasn't. There was no way she would break down with Helen on the phone. Tony might try to but Helen no .She was so fragile and soft h
