As she he was about to mount the podium,Nicholas also walked down the stairs. Fully composed like the strong man he was. The looks on his face told nothing about how affected and stressed out he was about everything. He had the looks of a fierce warrior. A man that had thick skin and allowed nothing to penetrate that was the image painted for the public to see.Now Laura had mounted the podium. With no knowledge of what was to come. It was a live broadcast. Nicholas had his fist curled and teeth tightened together. Kelvin was present . He always was since the day of the incident , he had clinged round like Nicholas's bodyguards . Laura avoided eye contact with all of them by every means possible. When the room was quiet, they had enough of their murmuring and chatter, She cleared her throat softly and adjusted herself forward towards the gooseneck microphone. " it's no longer a new news that my Husband Nicholas Macpherson the owner of Macpherson's industries was accused for a
Nicholas on the other hand couldn't help but stare at Laura. He was mean to her, telling her to stay out of his business and saying hurtful words to her yet she was able to prove everything all herself. Kelvin was in a different kind of shock hearing Jenna's voice alone gave him a fright. He was still hoping his name wouldn't be mentioned till he heard "KELVIN, YOUR HUSBAND'S FRIEND WAS IN IT WITH ME ." He struggled to breathe. All he wanted to do then was loosen his perfectly knotted tie and flee the room. The Air con in the room wasn't enough to cool his temperature. "Kelvin gave the dose to Nicholas." Nicholas couldn't believe what he heard. So did his father. Suddenly all the attention left the audio tape and all focused on Nicholas and Kelvin. Laura was still on the podium, but her attention was on them too . It's funny how new news always surpasses the old one. Just a few moments ago, all the attention in the press was on Nicholas's accusations; now they were o
Laura was so focused on what she was doing that she didn't notice he already walked in. "You are not leaving " . He told her. He was standing Behind her. "Huh? "Laura turned to him . He was really close to her. A step away. "I….." he put his hands over her mouth preventing her from speaking. She was mumbling but soon stopped when she saw that he wasn't willing to free her mouth. "You are not leaving, I should have never said any of those things to you. I appreciate whatever you did for me. Because of you, my name is cleared. I stopped you so many times from doing what you wanted even with hurtful words but you still went ahead to help me". Nicholas kept talking non stop but he slowed down when he was about to say " Thank you "."Don't leave." He ended his words and took his off her mouth. Laura was blushing so much, this was the first time Nicholas spoke to her so lovingly but she tried not to think about it as something more. "Don't ever do that , I wasn't leaving." She
"Thank God you are fine Laura, I'm fine too. Tony wasn't telling me anything, he was always covering up the whole issue. ""I'm proud of you Laura. I love you and I miss you so much too".Laura was In the bathroom, having her late night brush. She had toothpaste in her mouth. She wanted to spig out before replying Helen. She spat out and Laura froze. She touched her lips with the her fingers and took a look at it . BLOOD?Blood All over again. A lot of blood this time . The coughed up again; blood . At this point she was scared of what was happening to her.Over the weeks she have had a few cough ups of blood but not this amount. The wash base was filled with blood . "Laura?" Helen spoke on the caller's side waiting for a response. Laura immediately ended the call and dropped her phone by the sink. She coughed up again, Loudly. More blood came out of her mouth. She soon started to tremble. Feared for what was happening. She was still trying to figure out everything w
They were both laughing when Lucy invited Ruth to join In on the conversation. LUCY only did that when she had juicy news to share or somebody to gossip about. One could say she was the life of the party with two boring friends. One was a work boring freak;Laura and the other was a lover girl with a strong passion for her job and of course money. "Laura … you look so beautiful in the morning sun.Ruth told her." Lies, Laura looked terrible with her pale eyes and dark under eyes. "You little liar. "Laura said to her and they all giggled. "I'm sorry I didn't reach out all this while, I just found out what has been going on with you and Nicholas. I'm so happy you got his name cleared. '' Ruth honestly had no idea about the scandal . She was going through hell during that period. She only got to know after everyone had died down a little and Laura had solved the problem. "You go girl, she is now termed the most supportive wife on the internet. You are trending Laura. Finally
"You can calm down Mrs Macpherson."How did she know She was nervous?was it so obvious? Laura tried to appear more comfortable. "I'm doctor Gloria Park. You can call me Gloria." She tried to make her loosen up a little. In the doctor's years of Doctoring, she could tell when a patient is tensed and when they were trying to relax. She already Had Laura's files with her and she was going through them. Laura was staring at her and the file like she knew what she was analyzing. When she was done staring at the file, she raised her head . "You will be needing your blood samples, i need to run a few test. " What Laura hated the most, the needles and now it seems she was going to get one in her veins. "Oh ….. okay . " Laura was actually expecting a quick diagnosis and maybe drugs to go . There was another nurse there with them. Gloria asked her to take her to the sample room and her blood sample. " uhm …would I be getting the results today?" She asked her. "Yes,it would
"I like my men , my dates attractive and eye-catchy. Not boring and stale. You know what Tomorrow is your off day from work, we are going shopping and changing this thing you call a wardrobe. I can't deal with so much boring. And do not even try to argue with me." Laura left him hanging and went back to her study chair. Nicholas could have easily disagreed and even shut her up for speaking down on his taste but he didn't. He liked it . He liked the fact that she wanted to help him change from his boring taste to what she wanted. He never would have cared about what her "Date " men taste was but for some reason, he wanted to Fit into her standards. "Why?" That was a question he himself could answer at that point. Nicholas found himself smiling from the corner of his mouth. A smile that couldn't stop from filling his face . A smile that showed how much he like her dominance. He would never miss a day of work for anything. But for Laura, he was willing to take a day off
Laura scoffed and went to him Do you really want me to change in front of you ? How ridiculous can you be? She pointed am accusing fingers to his face. Nicholas never really wanted to inconvenience her. He ignorantly sat there . He would have left if she asked politely but she didn't. Rather she put an attitude "You are my wife aren't you, so I have right the right to do whatever I want when it comes to you . Your body and everything, I bought alongside the contract so why should I leave when i can sit and watch everything you do? "You are joking….. leave. Nicholas stood up and went close to her. He bent his head and kissed her neck. Kissed the drop of water away from her neck . His lips on her body, Laura closed her eyes. Before he landed the kiss on her, she was earlier moving back and telling him to stay back. "What are you doing?" Stay back, don't you dare come any closer. Her words Earlier. Laura that was having a sharp tongue was the one fearfullly moving back
