The morning breeze slipped through the open window. Another day had dawnedThe cold breeze caressed Laura's exposed legs making her drag her legs up for warmth. Her arms circled, as she adjusted herself into a comfortable position. Her head rested on a pillow, a hard and warm pillowLaura tried opening her eyes as she rubbed her face against the pillowIt was awfully cold that she snuggled more to her pillow, letting out soft moans. Laura found the pillow comforting as she ran her hand over only to stop"Mmm, "there was something wrong with the pillow. Trying to open her eyes, Laura lifted her head, flickering her eyes open. She blinked multiple times as she adjusted to the bright room. She felt tired and relaxedHer head was so heavy that even her vision was blurry. Shifting her gaze up, her eyes widened at the sight of something she wasn't expecting "No" the words left her mouth like a cry for help. Blinking a few times she was startled by the sight of Nathan sleeping soundly. How
"It's rare to see a man who doesn't drink… tell me Mr Dawson… what so hostile towards this lovely beverage," Bernardo Harrison said with a chuckle after finding out Nathan didn't take any alcoholic beverages. Nathan gave a faint smile as he nodded at the waiter who placed a glass of water on the table. "I don't see anything good in it, however, I admire those who take a liking to it," Nathan remarked taking a sip of water and sitting adjusted in his seat comfortably, Bernardo smirked and waved the waiter away"Very well spoken… So tell me, I'm wondering how you gained lady Laura's trust… I've known her for a long time, she's a beautiful and intelligent woman.. she can get whatever she desires with just a snap of her finger," the man said, fixing his eyes on Nathan. Again, Nathan was bothered about his marriage to Laura. It was like the wedding of the century which shocked many. The old man before him was no exception "It's a wedding, or are you insinuating I'm not capable?" Nathan a
Nathan Was woken up by constant knocking at the door. As much as he was an early bird. Ever since Laura married him. His usual routine was ruined. He woke up late. Slept with worry in his heartTruly the Larson family would devastate anyone to insanityPushing himself up, Nathan sat upright, rubbed his eyes and when his eyes opened. It was already in the morning"That damn woman," Nathan mumbled, reaching for his face. His cheek was still hurting from the heavy slap the woman landed across his face all because he kissed herSuch a ferocious woman, he only wanted to prove her wrong, but who knew she would slap him so hardShaking his head, Nathan got up from the floor where he spent the night. Pushed himself up and made his way to the door. Glancing at the bed, it seemed the woman got up early. Who knew where she was"Yes," Nathan said upon opening the door knowing to find a maidservant "Good morning sir…breakfast?" The shy long girl greeted him with a low bow, they were two girls in
"Are you sure…he didn't say anything?" Laura asked the manager about Nathan. She thought he just went out sightseeing and would be back before nighttime. Unfortunately, the party had started and Nathan was nowhere to be found"Madam, sir didn't say a word," the man said with a low bow. Laura was irritated, she had gone shopping the entire day and thought Nathan would turn up, unfortunately, the man seemed to have disappeared into thin air"If you see him please tell him to see me right away," Laura issued her order and the manager nodded and left. This was not happening, how on earth would Nathan do such a thing? "Nathan where are you?" Laura paced in the hallway still trying to call Nathan. She was all ready to go to the party unfortunately without Nathan it wouldn't be possible Laura paced restlessly. Maybe Carl would know where Nathan was. The chief of police was friends with Nathan "Why didn't I think about this," Laura face palmed herself and decided to see Carl in his room
Nathan Felt like his body was chopped into pieces as he tried to shift. His face was covered in blood, leaking from the open cuts and injuries he suffered at the hands of men who ambushed himLifting his head, he tried to open his eyes. Unfortunately, he couldn't, his eyes felt heavy. His head was hurting like he was being slammed against the wall repeatedly without stopping. When he tried to move his arms and legs, he failed miserably for he was restrained with chainsSo much for trying to catch some bad men. He knew he wouldn't have been caught by the men who tried to attack him when on his way to meet one of his old friends. Coming back to his home time meant meeting some old folks from the streets. His friends he grew up with, the main reason was to find evidence against Jared. No one would believe him without proofOne of his old friends who were with him in Jared's gang called him up so they could meet. However, things didn't turn out as planned"Wake up you son of a bitch," cam
Back in Houston, the news of Nathan's abduction had reached the Larson family. Jeremy was more than angry knowing Nathan was faking it. Camila also agreed. Elizabeth was more than convinced, Nathan planned out the whole thing just to get money from Laura"Don't let her take that money, stop her job," Jeremy said angrily over the phone while pacing back and forth. The entire family had gathered in the lounge. Except for their uncle Stan, everyone was present as they waited for Jeremy to finish talking to some of his friends in New York. "I don't care what you do, just stop her… I'm sure that man planned all this to swindle my sister," Jeremy yelled, ordering for his men to get to work. He didn't care if Nathan was abducted or even killed. He knew Nathan was a gold digger. He got married into a wealthy family and now he is using that advantage to get money"Good," saying that Jeremy disconnected the call and tossed the phone away. Anger boiled within him"Mom please do something about t
Laura didn't think she'd get trapped. But the situation was quite expected. The five men surrounding her were very pathetic at least she knew this beforehand"Don't move bitch," one of the men who seemed like the boss of the little group said pointing a gun at her head. The cd weapon connected with her skin gave her shivers. She didn't dare move for she feared getting killed"Get the bag," the same man ordered his men. Laura watched in anticipation as the men got busy. They didn't bring Nathan, two men walked to the back seat of the car. Opened it and dragged the duffle bag of cash outTheir boss seemed excited judging by the freakish smug plastered on his face. By now the two men had dragged the bag to the front of the car where there was light"Count it and make sure it's complete, if not I'll send this bitch straight to hell," the man said laughing maniacally, and the two men got to work. Laura watched from the corners of her eyes as the two men shoved the bag onto the groundLow
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
